Chapter 213 Civil and military officials felt completely refreshed!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan smiled and looked south:
"Guess where Wang Li should be right now?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Kui's expression froze.
This sudden smoke grenade not only obstructed the enemy's vision but also made it difficult for their own scouts to gather information!
Now, they are practically blind, unable to pinpoint the true location of Wang Li's army.
If I were Wang Li, I would definitely cross the river!
……
Meanwhile, to the south.
Wang Li's 500-strong team finally trekked across the turbulent river.
They successfully joined up with five hundred men who were flanking from the other side.
At this moment, they were on a low-lying riverbank plain, still shrouded in white smoke.
With a field of vision of less than ten meters, the comrades around him were all indistinct shadows!
It felt like being in a fairyland!
"General, this eerie mist is truly bizarre!"
"We have all crossed the river, but we haven't even seen a shadow of the enemy!"
The subordinate approached Wang Li and spoke in a low voice, his tone revealing a hint of unease.
Wang Li frowned and looked around warily.
The terrain here is low-lying and overgrown with vegetation, with dense forests and weeds along the riverbanks!
This environment is undoubtedly an ideal place for an ambush!
The unease in his heart grew stronger and stronger!
What exactly does Zhang Fan want to do?
Just then!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
A sudden burst of rapid war drumbeats erupted from the depths of the mist!
The drumbeats were like muffled thunder, echoing through the thick fog, making people's eardrums ache and their hearts race!
Wang Li's hair stood on end, and he suddenly became highly alert!
"All troops on high alert! Deploy defenses rapidly!"
He shouted sharply, his voice sounding somewhat hollow in the mist.
The soldiers immediately sprang into action, quickly adjusting their formation based on experience and instinct.
They were located in a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides!
The only way out is the great river behind us!
The sound of war drums came from deep within the mountains and forests, looking down from a high vantage point!
This is clearly the enemy luring them into a trap, and then launching a surprise attack from high ground!
"Cunning! Zhang Fan is indeed cunning!"
Wang Li cursed inwardly, but had no time to think further.
Immediately afterwards, a commotion began to rise from the distant mist!
Wang Li took a deep breath, not bothering to think about the source of the thick fog or Zhang Fan's true intentions.
At this moment, the only way to break the deadlock is to confront the enemy head-on!
"Soldiers! Do not panic! This is Zhang Fan's strategy to wear down his troops!"
"He dares not confront us directly, so he resorts to such despicable tactics!"
Wang Li roared loudly, his voice filled with determination.
"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one will prevail!"
"Today, we will capture him in one fell swoop!"
He drew his sword from his waist, pointed it directly in the direction from which the war drums were coming, and commanded in a hoarse voice:
"Kill! Capture Zhang Fan alive! Charge!"
Wang Li's voice instantly reassured the previously uneasy soldiers!
They are the elite soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty, who have been through countless battles, and whose blood runs through their veins with fearlessness!
"kill--!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The roar echoed through the mist, deafeningly loud!
The soldiers raised their weapons and charged headlong into the direction from which the war drums were coming!
Immediately afterwards, the two armies took over!
Wang Li took the lead, charging into the fog!
However, he soon discovered that the chaos on the battlefield far exceeded his expectations!
With extremely low visibility, it was impossible to distinguish friend from foe, let alone command and control!
The soldiers could only rely on instinct to engage the enemy in close combat.
All I could hear were shouts of battle and the clang of metal.
……
Almost at the same moment.
Wang Li's deputy general, Fang Jie, also led his thousand soldiers across the river to surround them.
The surroundings were shrouded in mist!
Fang Jie's team was also shrouded in thick smoke, and the soldiers were all on high alert, groping their way forward.
All they could see was a white blur, making it impossible for them to discern directions.
"General, this fog..."
A captain leaned close to Fang Jie and whispered,
"Their arrival was suspicious, and their departure was slow; there might be a trap!"
Fang Jie frowned, feeling a strong sense of unease as well.
Sudden.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Suddenly, the sound of war drums boomed from the depths of the fog ahead!
"Oh no! It's Zhang Fan!"
Fang Jie felt a chill run down his spine!
Followed by.
Ahead, amidst the thick fog, faint shouts of "Kill! Kill! Kill!" could be heard.
Immediately afterwards!
Several heavily armored soldiers still charged through the jungle!
That heavy armor design is exactly the heavy armor of Zhang Fan's army!
"Set up the formation!"
Fang Jie suddenly realized.
Without further hesitation, he drew his sword sharply and shouted:
"Brothers! Zhang Fan is just ahead!"
"He's trying to ambush us while the fog is thick!"
"All troops, charge! Surround and kill Zhang Fan!"
"Surround them completely in this forest!"
"kill--!"
A thousand elite Qin soldiers, led by Fang Jie, charged into the depths of the thick fog without hesitation!
……
On the city wall of Xianyang.
Another scout hurriedly ran up the city wall.
His face was filled with anxiety, his breathing rapid, and after bowing, he reported loudly:
"Report—!"
"Your Majesty, Your Excellencies!"
"The battlefield...the battlefield is shrouded in thick fog, and scouts are unable to detect any movements!"
This statement came out.
The officials on the city wall became agitated again.
"How could miasma suddenly appear?" a civil official exclaimed in surprise.
The scout continued, panting:
"But...but within the mist, the sound of war drums shook the heavens and the earth!"
"The shouts of battle rose and fell, and the clang of metal on metal was incessant!"
"The two armies...the two armies are likely already locked in fierce combat!"
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and their previous smugness and mockery vanished instantly.
Within the military camp, the generals were engaged in lively discussion.
"Hmph! Zhang Fan may be cunning, but his followers are nothing but a rabble!"
"Just now they suffered a crushing defeat, their morale is extremely low!"
An old general stroked his beard and said in a deep voice,
"In this direct confrontation with General Wang Li, the elite warrior of Great Qin, he is utterly no match!"
Another military officer echoed:
"Exactly! General Wang Li is further supported by General Fang Jie with 1000 men, giving them an overwhelming numerical advantage!"
"Even if Zhang Fan had three heads and six arms, he couldn't escape!"
"Victory is assured in this battle! That evil Taoist is surely fighting like a cornered beast, making a last-ditch effort!"
"That's right! Once the thick fog dissipates, it will surely be the time when General Wang Li returns in triumph after capturing Zhang Fan!"
These words.
This allowed the civil servants to relax their tense nerves a little.
They chatted back and forth, regaining their earlier smugness.
"Haha! Judging from what the generals have said, the outcome of this battle is already decided! This evil Taoist Zhang Fan is ultimately doomed to defeat!"
Shao Fu Zongyu's face lit up with delight, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly, saying:
"Excellent! Excellent! This sorcerer has been suppressing us for so long!"
"Seeing him get his comeuppance now is...it's so satisfying!"
"Indeed! Such a petty scoundrel dares to show off his meager skills in front of my great Qin generals? He deserves to suffer defeat!"
"Let him taste the might of my Qin warriors! Let's see if he dares to play tricks on His Majesty again!"
For them, being suppressed by Zhang Fan for so long was a huge blow!
You can see he suffer a huge loss!
This was absolutely awesome!!
Okay?
