Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Chapter 168 The Enemy Approaches Again

After a brief respite, the team finally regained some peace, but it wasn't to last. That morning, Xie Linchuan observed a group of men wandering restlessly through the forest. The faint trembling of dead leaves in the distance suggested more enemies were approaching. As time passed, the enemy's presence gradually became apparent. They had apparently discovered the team's hideout and were attempting a complete encirclement and suppression.

Xie Linchuan immediately returned to camp and informed Ye Wan of the situation. The two exchanged glances, realizing that remaining where they were was not a viable option. They needed to find a way to deal with this sudden crisis. They decided to exploit the terrain and set up an ambush, employing surprise tactics to counter the enemy's superior forces.

Arrange an ambush plan

Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan surveyed the surroundings and quickly formulated a thorough ambush plan. The terrain here was complex, with dense undergrowth and intertwined trees providing natural cover. Pointing to a patch of dense forest, Ye Wan said, "This area is elevated. We can position our primary shooters here, creating a crossfire. At the same time, we'll ambush a team on the left. Once the enemy enters, the right side will be responsible for closing in and encircling them."

Xie Linchuan nodded and added, "The team on the right can use simple traps to delay the enemy and cause their formation to be further dispersed in the chaos. We must ensure that our strikes hit the target and inflict maximum damage to the enemy."

Ye Wan quickly assigned personnel and explained each team's mission in detail. She knew that the key to a successful ambush lay in coordination and timing. Everyone had to remain calm and wait for the enemy to enter the ambush circle. Any premature action could expose their position and affect the overall situation.

Latent standby

With everything arranged, the team members quickly entered their respective ambush points, each holding their breath, hiding in the dense forest, waiting for the enemy to gradually approach.

Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan each led a small team, ensuring perfect coordination. Ye Wan gently patted the team member closest to her and gave them an encouraging look. The team members nodded in response, their eyes revealing determination and trust. At this moment, everyone's emotions were tense to the extreme, but there was no fear, but instead, they were filled with faith.

Soon after, the faint sound of footsteps could be heard from the forest, as the enemy approached cautiously. They clearly knew the team was not a formidable opponent, so they remained as quiet as possible, refusing to attack rashly. As the enemy's footsteps drew closer, Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan's expressions grew increasingly solemn. They silently counted the distance, waiting for the perfect moment to attack.

Ambush initiated, swift counterattack

The moment the enemy entered the ambush, Ye Wan gently waved her hand, signaling the start of the attack. Archers ambushed on the high ground launched the first strike, several arrows silently piercing the air, accurately targeting the enemy's forward pathfinders. The enemy ranks immediately fell into chaos, and several soldiers in the front fell to the ground, emitting a cry of pain.

Almost immediately, the left-wing squad led by Xie Linchuan swiftly launched a flanking assault, completely disrupting the enemy's formation. The enemy hastily retaliated, but was completely surrounded and defenseless. In the bushes, the team members, who had been ambushing for a long time, launched their attacks, inflicting a fatal blow on the enemy.

Ye Wan calmly directed her teams, ensuring every move was accurate. She exploited the terrain, assigning her archers to high positions, protecting their flanks while leaving the enemy with nowhere to escape. Her keen eyesight allowed her to quickly identify the enemy's weaknesses, constantly adjusting her team's formation to lead them to their doom.

Xie Linchuan, on the other side of the battlefield, personally led the charge. His movements were sharp and decisive. After accurately striking down an enemy, he quickly switched targets, shielding the team behind him. As he fought, he observed Ye Wan's command line, ensuring his movements were perfectly coordinated. His calmness and decisiveness reassured the team members, whose morale was high and who fully trusted his direction.

Teamwork

Throughout the ambush, the team demonstrated exceptional coordination, with no hesitation or hesitation. The ambush team members accurately struck their targets, while the teams on either side continuously tightened their encirclement, completely trapping the enemy.

An enemy attempted to break through, but was intercepted by Ye Wan's team. Ye Wan quickly waved her hand, and several team members quickly surrounded and pinned the enemy to the ground. Several other enemies attempted to escape through the dense forest, but were blocked at the exit by Xie Linchuan's team, leaving them with nowhere to escape. The team's precise and deadly encirclement tactics left the enemy powerless to counterattack, and their morale quickly collapsed.

The battle ended quickly. The enemy suffered heavy losses in the ambush, and only a few escaped, but their morale had been completely crushed, and they were powerless to fight back. The camp fell silent again, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind echoing in the air.

Post-war review and summary

After the battle, Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan immediately organized the team to clean up the battlefield and check everyone's condition. Ye Wan carefully observed each team member's expression, ensuring that no one had lost control of their emotions due to shock. At the same time, she led several experienced team members to deal with the remaining enemy traces, avoiding any clues that might prevent the enemy from tracking them again.

Xie Linchuan gave the team members a brief tactical summary, highlighting their outstanding performance and notable details. He calmly and gently encouraged everyone, explaining their outstanding performance in the ambush. He specifically praised several outstanding team members and reminded everyone of the importance of maintaining composure and coordination during combat.

In her summary, Ye Wan expressed her recognition of everyone's performance, her words filled with warmth and trust: "The reason we were able to succeed in this ambush was because everyone remained calm and alert. We worked together to keep the enemy out. I am proud of everyone."

Warm moments after the battle

A brief post-battle debriefing helped everyone relax a bit. The team members shared their experiences and reflections from the battle. Some quietly admired the team's coordination, while others expressed gratitude for Xie Linchuan and Ye Wan's command. Everyone seemed to have further developed their mutual understanding and trust during this ambush.

Xie Linchuan quietly observed all of this from the sidelines, feeling a rare sense of relief. He grew increasingly impressed with Ye Wan's commanding abilities, and he also deeply realized that it was her care and meticulousness that allowed the team to demonstrate such strong cohesion during the battle.

Ye Wan stood beside him, smiling faintly. "The victory in this ambush was not only due to our tactics, but also to everyone's dedication. We have formed an invincible team."

Xie Linchuan nodded gently, his eyes firm. "Yes, Ye Wan. No matter how many difficulties and dangers lie ahead, I will face them with you. Our team will become stronger and stronger in the battles to come."

The two exchanged a smile, their mutual trust deepening. This battle not only allowed them to successfully resist the enemy's attack, but also strengthened the team's bond. Having experienced this life-or-death battle, they were even more resolute. No matter how many challenges lay ahead, the team would forge ahead together, continuing to move towards a brighter future.
