Xiao Wang nodded, gently drew the knife from his waist, and followed behind Su Ting. The two stealthily approached a secluded thicket and waited patiently.
As the enemies drew near, Su Ting suddenly lunged out and cleaved one of them in two with a single stroke. At the same time, Xiao Wang leaped out of the bushes and subdued the other enemy.
The battle ended quickly, without either of them making a sound. Su Ting whispered, "Withdraw immediately and notify the others."
The two quickly returned to camp and reported the situation to the other soldiers. Li Ming arrived upon hearing the news and listened to Su Ting's report.
"It seems the enemy has become aware of our presence."
Li Ming's expression was grave. "We must make adjustments as soon as possible. Su Ting, you lead a team to guard the west; the rest of you, divide into several groups and be ready to provide support at any time."
"Yes!" Su Ting replied solemnly, then led Xiao Wang and several other key soldiers westward. They set up traps and guards at the designated defensive points, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Night deepened, and the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive. Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps shattered the silence. Su Ting's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ordered, "Prepare yourselves, the enemy is coming!"
Immediately afterward, gunfire erupted, and a fierce battle broke out instantly. Both sides fired at each other in the darkness, bullets raining down.
With their excellent teamwork, Xiao Wang and his soldiers constantly changed positions, causing considerable trouble for the enemy.
However, the enemy seemed to have planned this all along, quickly regaining their footing and launching a fierce attack.
Faced with this powerful offensive, Su Ting decisively issued a new order: "Split up and defeat them one by one!"
The soldiers fought individually, using the terrain to their advantage to maneuver against the enemy.
Su Ting faced several enemies alone, brandishing his sword and blade, leaving streaks of cold light in the darkness. Each strike was as swift as lightning, and enemies fell one by one before him.
The battle lasted for some time, and finally, the enemy was defeated.
After confirming their safety, Su Ting and his soldiers returned to camp. Everyone in the camp anxiously awaited their return. Upon seeing this, Li Ming immediately went forward to inquire about the battle situation.
Chapter 396 Adopting a roundabout tactic
Su Ting and his soldiers returned to camp, and Li Ming rushed to greet them, "How are you? What happened?"
Su Ting wiped the sweat from his face and said, slightly out of breath, "The enemy has retreated, but we have suffered heavy losses as well. This time they came prepared, with a large number of soldiers and superior equipment."
Li Ming nodded, his expression serious. "I understand. Everyone has worked hard. Go and rest for a while, and we'll discuss the next steps later."
The soldiers nodded and dispersed to rest. Su Ting followed behind Li Ming, and the two sat down in a secluded spot.
"What do you think the enemy's next move will be?" Li Ming asked, his tone tinged with worry.
Su Ting remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Judging from the battle just now, their commander is no ordinary person. It is very likely that they will launch another attack from another direction, or adopt a flanking maneuver to try to encircle us."
Li Ming frowned. "Then we need even tighter defenses. Do you have any suggestions?"
“I think we can increase patrols, add more sentries, and set more traps around the camp.”
"In addition, we can send some people into the dense forest to gather intelligence on the enemy," Su Ting analyzed seriously.
Li Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Good idea. You will be in charge of organizing a small team to set off tomorrow morning and try to ascertain the enemy's movements."
Su Ting responded and got up to leave.
At this moment, Xiao Wang walked over, holding a map in his hand.
"Brother Su, look at this. I found a simple map on the enemy's corpses, which marks their rendezvous point."
Su Ting took the map and studied it carefully. Some important locations were marked on the map in red, one of which was particularly eye-catching.
“This place…” Su Ting pointed to a mark on the map, “This might be their command post. If we can capture it, it will greatly weaken their fighting capacity.”
Li Ming also came over and nodded, "That's good, but we need to be careful. The enemy might have heavily guarded the area."
Su Ting looked up at Li Ming and said, "I think we can use the cover of night to quietly approach their command post. If we can successfully destroy their communication equipment, it will greatly disrupt their deployment."
Li Ming patted Su Ting on the shoulder, "That's settled then. You take Xiao Wang and a few skilled soldiers, and we'll move out tomorrow night. Be careful and make sure you're safe."
Su Ting nodded solemnly, "Understood. I will act cautiously and strive for success in one fell swoop."
After they finished speaking, they returned to their posts to prepare for the next operation. As night fell, the campfire illuminated the soldiers' resolute faces, and their hearts were filled with hope and determination.
The next morning, Su Ting led Xiao Wang and several other soldiers to begin preparations. They organized their equipment, carefully studied the route on the map, and decided to set off at nightfall.
As evening fell, Su Ting led his team away from the camp and into the dense forest.
They advanced cautiously, avoiding making any noise. Along the way, Su Ting would stop frequently to check the surroundings and make sure they hadn't been discovered by the enemy.
Finally, the group arrived at the location marked on the map.
It was a simple wooden hut, with several sentries patrolling around it. Su Ting signaled everyone to take cover, while he quietly climbed a large tree to observe the situation.
“There aren’t many enemies, maybe only a dozen or so,” Su Ting said in a low voice. “We’ll split up, take out the sentries first, and then storm the house.”
Xiao Wang nodded in agreement, and the others quickly dispersed and began to act.
Under the cover of darkness, they stealthily approached the enemy and eliminated the sentries one by one. The entire process was swift and efficient, without alerting anyone.
After dealing with the sentries, Su Ting waved his hand, and the group quickly rushed towards the wooden house. The door was kicked open, and Su Ting was the first to rush in, his sword gleaming coldly in the darkness.
Chapter 397 Useful Intelligence
Before the enemies inside could react, they were startled by the sudden attack.
Su Ting and Xiao Wang rushed forward and subdued everyone in the room in just a few moves. The remaining soldiers quickly followed, checking each room to ensure nothing was missed.
"Quickly search the area and see if you can find any useful information."
Su Ting said in a low voice, while carefully observing the furnishings in the room. There were several tables in the room, piled with various documents, maps, and some communication equipment.
Xiao Wang quickly found a document, opened it, and exclaimed, "Here's a detailed map of the enemy's troop deployment! And their upcoming action plan!"
Su Ting took the document, quickly glanced through it, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. "Excellent, this is exactly the intelligence we need. Quickly take the important documents with you, and then evacuate immediately."
Xiao Wang and the other soldiers began collecting important documents and equipment and packing them into their backpacks.
Su Ting then went to a radio, unplugged all the wires, and smashed it several times with a hammer to ensure that the communication equipment was completely destroyed.
Just then, light footsteps came from outside.
Su Ting immediately became alert and signaled everyone to be quiet.
He walked quietly to the door and peered through the crack, where he saw several enemy reinforcements approaching from a distance.
"Enemies are coming! Get out of here!" Su Ting shouted, rushing out of the house first and leading his team to retreat into the depths of the dense forest. They used the terrain to their advantage, skillfully evading the enemy's pursuit.
The enemy was clearly caught off guard by the ambush.
However, they quickly regained their formation and pursued closely behind. Su Ting led his troops, constantly changing direction, trying to shake off the enemy.
After a fierce chase, Su Ting and his team finally returned to camp safely at the crack of dawn.
The soldiers in the camp were on high alert, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them return safely.
When Li Ming saw Su Ting and his group return, he hurriedly went to greet them, "You're back! How did it go?"
Su Ting put down his backpack and revealed a smug smile. "Mission accomplished. We found the enemy's detailed deployment plan and destroyed their command post communication equipment."
Li Ming took the documents from Su Ting, his brows gradually relaxing. "Well done! With this intelligence, we can better formulate our next plan."
“By the way,” Xiao Wang interjected, “we have also discovered that the enemy is about to launch a large-scale attack, targeting the valley to our south.”
Li Ming nodded. "Okay, we'll gather all the team members immediately to discuss countermeasures. Su Ting, you should also get some rest. You've worked hard."
"Understood." Su Ting nodded with a smile and turned to walk towards his barracks. Although he was exhausted, the successful operation filled him with a sense of accomplishment.
The next morning, Li Ming convened a meeting of all personnel to analyze in detail the intelligence brought back by Su Ting and to formulate a new defense plan.
The atmosphere at the meeting was lively, with everyone expressing their opinions and discussing countermeasures.
Halfway through the meeting, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. A scout rushed in to report.
"Commander, a large enemy army has appeared! They are approaching our direction!"
The conference room fell silent as everyone looked at Li Ming.
Li Ming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It seems that a battle is imminent. Everyone, proceed according to the established plan and hold your ground!"
Everyone responded in unison, then returned to their posts to prepare for battle. Su Ting and Li Ming met again, exchanged a determined look, picked up their weapons, and headed to the front lines.
Smoke billowed from the battlefield as the two armies clashed fiercely. Arrows whistled through the sky, and the shouts of soldiers echoed throughout the valley.
"Be careful!" Su Ting shouted to his comrades as he fought fiercely.
"Don't worry, I won't fall easily!" His comrade replied with a smile. The two fought side by side, their teamwork impeccable.
Chapter 398 The Horn of Charge
Su Ting and his comrades fought bravely against the enemy, arrows rained down like raindrops, and the clash of swords and spears created a chaotic scene.
The air in the valley seemed to be filled with the atmosphere of war, and everyone was on edge.
"Su Ting, there are enemy heavy cavalry over there!" Xiao Wang shouted a warning.
Su Ting quickly turned around and saw a small troop of heavy cavalry charging from the side, the heavy hooves shaking the ground.
"Everyone, get your spears ready!" Su Ting gave the order decisively, and at the same time, he picked up a spear himself and aimed it forward.
At Su Ting's command, more than a dozen spears flew out in unison.
