"Don't be afraid, it won't go wrong!"

They encouraged themselves and immediately changed their positions after turning around, spreading out in a staggered manner to prevent collisions in case of emergency.

Looking in the direction of the Julu army, and thinking about what would happen next, they were all so nervous that they kept swallowing.

They could almost hear Zheng Quchi's solemn instructions before they left: "Keep a close eye on their movements, don't blink, and once you're sure they've launched, turn around and jump immediately!"

Looking out at the three-bow crossbows standing tall in the distance, those below could not see them. Hundreds of meters away, everything was just a blurry outline, and naturally they could not see the details of the moment the axe struck.

However, they could clearly see the blue-dyed Qilin flags fluttering in the wind on the Julu Army's side. In order to coordinate and unify the launch, shouting alone could not accurately reach everyone's ears, so flag bearers were chosen to lead the command.

Three hundred ballistae were equipped with sixty Qilin flags. Once a flag was raised, it signified the order to fire.

When the flag is lowered, it signifies that the arrow is on the bowstring, and even if it is stopped midway, it will be of no use and it must be released.

The group of pseudo-Ye soldiers had barely managed to be pulled out of the pit alive, escaping a near-death experience. But now they faced such a perilous place again. Ironically, this time, if they wanted to survive, they had to find a pit to jump into themselves.

After a few lighthearted jokes to ease their tension, they didn't relax much. They were still so tense that their throats felt like they had something blocking them, making it hard to breathe.

Just kidding, this is a matter of life and death for them. How could they not be nervous?

At this point, they had no time to discern whether Zheng Quchi's life-saving methods were genuine or effective; their minds were fixated on only one thing—

Jump to any number within five.

Their bodies were taut, like a fully drawn bowstring, poised to be released.

The Julu army shouted: "Fire!"

The blue flag was swept down with a cold, sharp motion. This scene played out in slow motion, frame by frame, flipping through my eyes. Hundreds of crossbow bolts converged into a dark, shadowy tide, like heavy leaden clouds about to unleash a thunderous roar.

The crossbow bolts, with their thick shafts, flew from afar, their whistling sound cutting through the air thin and sharp, making one's eardrums feel blocked and one's heart feel as if it were being squeezed tightly by a hand.

call……

call……

Their breathing was intermittent, disordered, and rapid. At this moment, many people's fingers were trembling uncontrollably, and their pupils were dilated with fear.

"Jump--"

The force of the yank pull, eliciting shock and anger, instantly jolted them awake. Before their minds could fully process what had happened, their bodies mechanically and swiftly leaped backward, plummeting downwards—

Just after the Julu army fired a volley of crossbow bolts, they were all looking at the situation in the distance before the bolts hit the ground. However, in a certain instant, they were shocked to find that the entire Ye army had disappeared. This caused hundreds of crossbow bolts to pierce the ground, creating hundreds of craters of varying sizes.

From their perspective, the Ye army seemed to have vanished into thin air, a truly bizarre and terrifying scene.

How...how is this possible?!

But how can it be impossible?

The person was truly gone; all that remained were a mess of muddy footprints on the ground and a crossbow bolt that had sunk deep into the ground.

Could it be that the Ye army can fly or disappear into the earth? Otherwise, how could they suddenly vanish right under their noses?

While the Julu army was stunned and confused, only She Kou, as the commander, could not be hasty and flustered in the face of trouble. He slammed his palm hard on the wooden crossbow, his eyes filled with deep shock and contemplation.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. Staring at the undulating grassland in front of the Ye camp, he suddenly had an idea, and he guessed that the other side had most likely used this method to deceive people.

"That must be it!"

She Kou's breath hitched, and doubts arose in his heart. He then devised a new plan.

Without delay, She Kou placed the three-bow crossbow in its original spot and then summoned three thousand Julu soldiers to rush over and investigate.

That's absolutely right, otherwise it wouldn't make sense!

At this moment, She Kou was burning with anxiety and couldn't wait to confirm the truth. His whole body was also on fire, and he rushed forward.

Everyone stared intently at the spot where the Ye army had disappeared. As they drew closer, they finally saw a shallow trench that had been dug ahead...

As if his innermost expectation had come true, She Kou's expression immediately became extremely smug and arrogant.

He suddenly threw his head back and burst into hearty laughter. Just as he thought, just as he thought!

I had heard before that the Ye army had dug a useless ditch in front of the Ye camp. It was shallow and narrow, a perfunctory and shabby thing that would make people laugh. But I never expected that this ditch would come in handy now and that she would use it to hide people.

However, this tactic is just for show. Does she really think that as long as they hide like cowards, the problem can be solved?

Unlike Mu Jin, he wasn't easily intimidated by her little tricks.

"You guys like jumping into ditches, don't you? Fine, now I don't have to deal with your corpses. You can just die in there and be buried on the spot. That way, you Ye soldiers have put in the effort to dig it up and make the most of it. Hahaha..."

With renewed confidence, She Kou charged forward, directing his troops to surround the trenches and prevent the Ye soldiers below from climbing out. He wanted to ensure that the Ye soldiers he had killed would never be able to get up again.
