“What is a ghillie suit?”
Everyone is very unfamiliar with this term.
Chen Tang gestured a number: "Old Six's favorite outfit!"
Everyone hates being fooled by Lao Liu, but everyone wants to be like Lao Liu and fool others. If nothing else, just to make the enemy die in a mess. That's so cool! She explained: "The so-called ghillie suit is actually a camouflaged coat..."
"A camouflaged coat?"
Chen Tang said: "For example, you can make a coat that is very close to the color of the rock and put it on, hide in the dark of the mountain wall, and then use the Word Spirit Formation to perfectly deceive the human eye. Even if someone careful finds the traces, it will be too late."
The key to an ambush in this era is to act quickly and react quickly, send scouts to survey the ambush terrain in advance, and keep the ambush plan strictly confidential to prevent the enemy from noticing it first and turning the ambush into an offensive.
What is the best ambush terrain
It is naturally the high mountains and canyons. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, the ambushed cannot see the ambushers. When the enemy enters the ambush range, rolling stones, hot oil and gold juice are thrown down from above.
As for the archers
That thing costs too much and has too short a range.
In order to launch an effective attack, thousands of arrows must be fired at the same time. Only intensive volleys can kill the enemy. By the time the enemy reacts, they will retreat carrying the corpses as targets, and you will not be able to catch up even if you want to.
But the setting of this world is a little different.
The archers' attack range did not increase much, but their anti-ambush means were rising steadily. The vanguard scout's Wudan totem rotated in the sky, and could see whether there were any enemies and their movements within the field of vision. In order to complete a perfect ambush, they all worked hard on the distance limit of the Word Spirit Formation.
The purpose is to conceal the Wudan Totem from these scouts.
From Chen Tang's point of view, the effort and reward are not proportional: "Why do you insist on holding on to the Word Spirit Formation Scroll? Why can't you let the soldiers camouflage themselves and blend into the ambush environment? I have specifically checked with the scouts before. Due to their limited strength, they cannot share vision with their own Wudan Totems. Wudan Totems hover in the sky and detect whether there are any living creatures moving."
Scouts will use this information to determine the enemy's whereabouts.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if the two can share vision.
At such a high distance, it is difficult to detect the camouflaged static objects below. It is easier to deceive the scouts than to deceive the Wudan Totem. In order to prove his guess, Chen Tang also asked Yun Ce to help with the experiment, letting his Wudan Totem Snow Owl rise into the air and find a test subject covered with grass below.
Hehe, it’s her.
Yun Ce reminded his master, who was wearing a simple "auspicious suit", and said, "Master, the eyes of a snowy owl are sharper than those of a human."
And because of his martial courage level, this snowy owl is by no means comparable to an ordinary vanguard scout, and the lord will definitely be captured.
Chen Tang was full of confidence: "Let it find me first."
Yun Ce summoned his courage and said, "Go!"
The result was that the Snow Owl wandered around Chaoli Pass for more than a dozen times but did not find Chen Tang. The giant Snow Owl was almost shot down by the guards inside the pass as a provocation from the enemy. Seeing the Snow Owl returning in vain and looking aggrieved, Yun Ce had to admit defeat.
He concentrated his energy into his dantian, and his voice spread throughout Chaoli Pass.
"My lord, you can come out now."
The next second, a stone in the corner of the training ground spoke human words.
"Hey, I'm here."
Everyone, including Yun Ce, was shocked.
"My Lord?"
"My Lord has been here all this time?"
Yun Ce looked at the big rock with a hole dug underneath that was kicked away by Chen Tang, and couldn't say a word for a long time. The young man's eyes seemed to accuse her of not following martial ethics. You know, Yun Ce specifically ordered Snow Owl to pay more attention to the bushes and trees!
Of course, other details cannot be overlooked.
Chen Tang said, "I asked Xiandeng to hide somewhere else wearing that camouflage, and he was not found. As for me? I was just playing a little joke on you to expand your ideas for ambush in the wild. If the pattern is opened up, we can even hide in a tree trunk!"
Although most of the wild trees in the northwest continent are small and medium-sized, and there are very few trees that cannot be hugged by several people, and whose trunks are comparable to a dozen-story building, there are some in other parts of the continent. In the future, we may be able to play a different ambush war when we fight there.
Who would have thought that enemies could jump out of a tree
Hollowing out a rock and hiding inside it is also a good idea.
Another use for the Butan warrior has been developed.
As he was talking, Jiang Sheng walked back slowly.
He was indeed wearing that simple camouflage, but he looked dirty and didn't look very happy. As soon as he arrived, he briefly talked about his experience: "If the ambush troops can also restrain their own aura, the camouflage effect may be even better."
Jiang Sheng also drew inferences from one example, believing that camouflage is not limited to grass, leaves, and vines. For example, if the ambush site is a swamp, you can also use local materials, dye the cloth with mud and cover yourself, it is not difficult to deceive the reconnaissance of the Wudan Totem. If you work hard on blending into the environment, you can also deceive the naked eye that is close. By the time the enemy discovers the camouflage, it will be too late to counterattack at that distance.
"... Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. The number of disguised ambushes in the same location cannot be too many. The more there are, the easier it is to reveal flaws. This method is more suitable for small-scale elite ambushes." As he spoke, Jiang Sheng's eyes brightened a lot.
If this special force is used well, the effect will definitely be good!
The terrain of the ambush site had been figured out long ago, and finally 500 ambush troops were decided, with Chen Tang leading the team. Because Jiang Sheng used the way of scholars to estimate the approximate number of enemies, it was no more than 2,000. With the upper hand, 500 troops were enough to fight!
So, there was a scene where Shen Tang sneezed at the ambush site, and one day had passed since he led his troops to ambush.
There was no trace of the enemy.
Chen Tang crouched stealthily, whispering to himself.
"Xian Deng, is your divination accurate?"
She thought that Jiang Sheng's path to becoming a scholar was perfect and she would be able to escape successfully, but she didn't expect that this guy would not stop pitting her. From the basic state of "looking at qi", asking for a brick of writing a day, she evolved into a charlatan who could calculate everything and even lend her literary qi.
Instead, I became his backup power bank.
Speaking of power banks, Chen Tang suddenly recalled the previous experience—she abused her words → her palace was exhausted → her subordinates replenished her → Jiang Sheng borrowed her literary energy again. My goodness, this guy is at the top of the food chain. Jiang Sheng indirectly owns a lot of power banks.
Jiang Sheng said: "It's still new, it needs to be polished."
What this means is, come more often.
Chen Tang: “…”
For a moment, her face looked uglier than the mud under her feet.
Family members, who understands the pain of having her hands and feet almost become as soft as noodles after a night. She suddenly thought that it was not her uterus that was weak but her kidneys. She felt that finding ten or eight male lovers to do something interesting would not be as exhausting as this night.
Just as I was complaining, a clump of grass started to sneer at me.
Chen Tang glared at him: "They are lying in ambush!"
No professional ethics at all!
Gu Chi couldn't help but smile and said, "Chi has tried very hard."
Before he met the Lord, he always thought he was an expert in controlling his emotions, but he never knew that there was always someone better than him, and the Lord was his nemesis. Jiang Sheng glared at him unfriendly, and Gu Chi just clamped his throat and said something weird.
"Yi, what a terrible Xiandeng."
Didn’t the lord admit it
Ten or eight male favorites are enough, but one Jiang Sheng is enough to kill her.
Well, the modern Daji!
Jiang Sheng: “…”
His colleagues are all somewhat mentally ill!
Another half a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Chi couldn't help but ask, "Xian Deng, is your way of the scholar really reliable?"
They were here to ambush the enemy, so they naturally couldn't cook, so they had to eat a little dry food to maintain their physical strength. Of course, the best situation was to eat as little food as possible, in order to reduce physiological problems. How could the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating traces of hundreds of people be concealed
Some soldiers had good digestion and had to let the calf-nose trousers take on everything. Fortunately, there were not many such people, otherwise the stench would have been overwhelming. The enemy would know there was an ambush just by smelling it!
Gu Chi: "One day is fine, but two days is unbearable."
Even if you hold on, your combat status will be affected.
Jiang Sheng's poor condition completely dispelled Gu Chi's obsession with becoming a perfect scholar. It was all in vain for him to try.
Faced with doubts, Jiang Sheng just treated it calmly.
"I'm new to this and need to get familiar with it."
Isn't it normal to have a two-day error
He is a military strategist, not a street charlatan!
At this moment, Chen Tang suddenly put his ear to the ground and gestured to Jiang Sheng and the other man, and they immediately stopped breathing.
Shen Tang whispered, "Someone is coming."
Then he said: "But the distance is still very far..."
Gu Chi and the other man looked at each other and asked, "Is it the enemy?"
There was no feedback from the Word Spirit Formation that they had jointly set up in a hidden place, which meant that the enemy was still beyond their range.
The distance between the two places -
Even a sixteenth-rank great master can't be so sharp, right
Chen Tang himself couldn't explain this clearly.
The only thing she was sure of was that her perception had not improved much, but she could sense some movements beyond her perception limit. For this reason, she had specially sought out Gong Xichou, who had entered the sixteenth level of the Great Master earlier than her and had more experience.
Gong Xichou's answer is not very useful for reference.
He only said that after he re-conquered his Wudan Totem, his body merged with it again and acquired some of the Wudan Totem's characteristics. It was also because of this that he was able to live a normal life after becoming blind. Mama's situation was probably the same.
Chen Tang felt like he understood but also like he didn’t.
The first question is -
What is my Wudan totem
She hasn't had that thing yet!
Unable to solve the problem, Chen Tang simply put it aside. As long as the sensation was not her illusion, it was a good thing!
The order was passed down, and the elite soldiers, who had been a little relaxed, put their full attention into preparing for battle, trying their best to restrain their breath and stay in their respective ambush locations without moving. At this time, even if an animal climbed onto their body, they could only grit their teeth and hold it.
A few miles away, a group of soldiers approached quietly.
Neither side knew what was happening, and all the movements were reflected in a pair of black eyes that showed neither sadness nor joy. Zhao Feng saw the two teams approaching, and subconsciously held his breath. He almost couldn't breathe before he remembered that he could breathe: "Gong Su?"
There was smoke and clouds inside the tent.
Qin Li said: "Mr. Chen is quite interesting."
If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that Chen Tang had hundreds of men camouflaged and ambushed at the location, even with his vision as a scholar, it would have been difficult to find the traces of these ambushes. His methods of action were somewhat similar to those of the evil Qi Yuanliang, and his mind was clever and surprising.
Zhao Feng stroked his chin: "It's quite interesting!"
He considered whether he should train such a weapon.
Qin Li's eyes were filled with fatigue, and in his hand was a rare pipe. Zhao Feng said, "The ambushed soldiers were not on guard, and it was Lord Shen who ambushed them. The outcome should be clear. Gong Su, take it."
Activating the Way of the Scholar will consume literary energy.
The perfection of the scholar's way consumes no less than much.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very strenuous to open it for half an hour, but Qin Li's opening time during this period was equal to the total time in the past. To make up for this shortcoming, Qin Li's Wen Palace has a special structure that can store the excess Wen Qi every day.
Of course, the amount stored at one time is not large.
Even if the supply of literary energy is not a problem, maintaining the way of a scholar still requires a lot of mental energy, so Qin Li even took out the cigarette he had quit long ago. The two have known each other for so many years, and Qin Li has relied on this thing to refresh his mind and brain only a few times.
I remember the last time was when my homeland was destroyed.
For some unknown reason, Qin Li quit smoking.
Zhao Feng tried to persuade Qin Li softly, but Qin Li refused.
The face was a little blurry through the mist, and there were emotions in his eyes that Zhao Feng couldn't understand. He said, "Let's take another look."
Zhao Feng: "... Shall I get you another pot of wine?"
Qin Li said: "Something stronger."
Zhao Feng muttered to himself and turned to get the wine.
Although it was the strongest liquor in Zhao Feng's hand, Qin Li drank it as if it were plain water, and his movements and demeanor remained elegant throughout.
Zhao Feng looked at the unlucky ambushers who had entered the ambush range on the sand table. He was so bored that he started chatting with Qin Li.
"Come to think of it, these cigarettes are quite old, right?"
Haven't you changed it in all these years
On second thought, these things are not popular in the Northwest Continent. Only a small number of people like them. A bag of good quality tobacco can be sold at the price of gold. With Gongsu's living habits, he really won't waste money on such things...
Qin Li said casually: "It's the bag from that year."
Zhao Feng had helped Qin Li keep it when he was with him.
"Gong Su, I have always had a question in my mind."
"You ask."
"When did you learn this?" He thought that Qin Li was more suitable for the light smell of incense than the smell of tobacco.
Qin Li replied: "A friend taught me."
He didn't drink much before.
Zhao Feng was surprised: "Friend?"
This is the first time I heard Qin Li mention this friend.
He couldn't suppress his curiosity: "Who?"
Qin Li lowered his eyes and knocked the exquisite and gorgeous pipe in his hand against the sand table. Zhao Feng was still puzzled: "Who is it?"
"Evil plot under Lord Shen's tent, please pray for Yuanliang."
Zhao Feng: “…”
Qin Li seemed amused by his funny big copper bell eyes.
"Qi Yuanliang was roaming around doing evil all those years. He went everywhere and there were people who wanted him everywhere. He always needed a way to relieve stress. And the ways for men to relieve stress are nothing more than a few. But he doesn't like beauty. He is even afraid of beauty like snakes and scorpions. He is afraid of leaving blood ties, so he is alone. If that's the case, then what else can he do if he doesn't like cigarettes and alcohol? With so many people wanting his life and so much pressure, and he still can't do anything, don't you think it's more terrifying?"
Zhao Feng: “…”
It's nothing that Qi Yuanliang taught Qin Gongsu to drink and smoke, after all, nobles spend money on whatever they like, but what shocked him was why Emou was Qin Li's friend
