Tang Yue focused her mind and energy, quickly forming hand seals. A golden light shot out from her fingertips, accurately hitting the fuel tank of the armored vehicle.

"Boom!" The armored vehicle exploded instantly, flames shooting into the sky. The US troops were caught off guard by this sudden attack, suffering heavy casualties.

The remaining soldiers attempted a counterattack, but under Tang Yue's command, they were surrounded and cut off by the civilians of Bianyue and the Chinese army. The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the entire US ore convoy was wiped out, much to the jubilation of the Bianyue people.

At the same time, they became even more convinced of the goddess's divine power. Many of them had just witnessed a golden light appear in the goddess's hand, which pierced through the fuel tank of the vehicle and caused it to explode.

On the way back, the people of Bianyue shouted with joy and excitedly described the magnificent scene to those around them who had not witnessed it.

In the recent battle, the goddess's team successfully recaptured the iron mine. This victory greatly boosted the morale of the people of Bianyue Kingdom, and under Tang Yue's leadership, they quickly established a temporary camp outside Shanhe County.

During this period, news of a goddess appearing in the Bianyue Kingdom and leading its people in a valiant resistance against the American army quickly spread from Shanhe County outwards. Initially, the American army didn't take it seriously, but as more and more of their troops were defeated, the American high command soon learned of the situation.

However, the high-ranking officers here still did not believe that the goddess posed a threat to the US military. But they could no longer allow the so-called goddess to spread rumors. They dispatched a hundred elite troops, equipped with heavy weapons such as mortars, to encircle and suppress her with great force.

Tang Yue had anticipated this and discussed countermeasures with Battalion Commander Yang in advance. In front of the two county magistrates, Tang Yue spoke with Yang Shengjun in a businesslike manner.

"Commander Yang, according to my prediction, the US military will likely send elite troops to annihilate you and your servants. They are coming with great force, and the camp's defense will require the assistance of your army's professional expertise."

Battalion Commander Yang immediately nodded, "Goddess, rest assured, driving the American troops out of Bianyue is the ultimate goal of China's support for Bianyue. We will spare no effort to help Bianyue."

After that, Battalion Commander Yang began to direct Chinese soldiers to help the people dig trenches, set traps, and build sturdy simple fortifications with trees and stones.

The number of devotees of the goddess gathering in the Bianyue Kingdom is increasing. The camp area has expanded considerably.

"Old Zhou, you lead 200 men to guard the south gate, using traps and trenches to wear down the enemy; Little Li, you lead 200 men to guard the west gate, keep an eye on the enemy's movements, and provide support as needed." Tang Yue gave the instructions methodically.

The next morning, the US troops arrived two miles from the camp.

Inside the US military camp, Commander Williams, cigar in hand, looked disdainfully at the intelligence report about the "Goddess" of the Bianyue Kingdom and sneered, "A bunch of rabble dare to oppose us?"

He waved his hand and summoned his elite hundred-man squad. "This time, we're going to wipe out those lowly people. There's no need to hold back. Let them know the consequences of going against the American army!"

An hour later, a 100-strong elite US military squad, equipped with sophisticated weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns, marched arrogantly toward the temporary camp of the Vietnamese civilians.

As the column marched, the soldiers laughed and mocked, "I heard those guys are carrying hoes and hunting rifles. This isn't fighting a war; they're just here to get themselves killed!"

"Exactly! They'll probably be scared out of their wits before we even make a move!"

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, inside the temporary camp, Tang Yue stood calmly on a high place, looking at the dust rising in the distance. She turned to the people beside her and said, "The American army is here. They are well-equipped, but we must not back down! Listen to my command, I will make them know that invading other people's territory is a wrong decision!"

The people gripped their weapons tightly and shouted in unison, "Yes, our servants obey the goddess!"

The US squad quickly arrived outside the camp. Williams scanned the camp through his binoculars, scoffing dismissively, "This lousy fortification can be leveled with a single blast!" He then ordered, "Mortars, prepare! Bomb it!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" A series of deafening explosions shook the earth, and multiple breaches were instantly blasted into the camp's defenses. Seeing this, the American soldiers laughed wildly, raised their guns, and surged forward like a tidal wave.

"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!" they shouted, their eyes filled with cruelty and arrogance.

Tang Yue's eyes were sharp. After quickly analyzing the battle situation, she shouted, "Old Zhou, you lead the people to push down the rubble we prepared beforehand to block their attack route! Little Li, you lead a few squads to hide behind cover and throw smoke grenades at them when they get close!"

These two are promising warriors that Tang Yue recently selected from among the people of Bianyue Kingdom. Tang Yue plans to train them gradually. She won't stay here indefinitely; they must be able to protect themselves.

In an instant, rubble cascaded down from the heights like a waterfall, and smoke grenades were hurled at the American troops. However, thanks to their body armor and shields, the American troops, despite suffering casualties, continued to advance.

However, the colorful smoke grenades did interfere with the US troops' vision. But they had already heard about the tactics used by the border country and knew that these things were almost harmless. Although the visibility was poor, it did not affect their continued advance.

A U.S. military officer looked at the civilians fighting desperately ahead and sneered, "These insects are quite capable of causing trouble!"

With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Heavy machine guns, open fire!" A hail of bullets rained down on the camp. Many civilians didn't have time to retreat, and several fell into pools of blood.

Although Tang Yue felt a pang of pity upon seeing this, she remained calm. She quickly adjusted her strategy, making several hand gestures. Sun Jinan immediately waved the Goddess Banner across the battlefield, and the young men from Bianyue Kingdom responsible for issuing commands shouted:
