Isabelle drew her bow and nocked an arrow, "Seven Stars Piercing the Sun!"
The seven arrows were arranged in two lines, but at first glance, it looked like only one arrow.
Sizzle, sizzle...
Camille's body was pierced through, and he was finally able to move his limbs, so he retreated hastily.
Where are you going?
Li Tianyi rushed forward, trying to intercept him.
Camille fled at full speed, leaving afterimages everywhere. If it weren't for the blood spurting from her body, it would be impossible to discern her true location.
"Stop him!" Xiaoman had already activated her swift footwork, her speed almost matching Camille's.
The two men fled while the other pursued.
Camille turned her head, realizing she couldn't shake him off, and searched for a possible attack position.
Suddenly, a group of Sichuan soldiers gathered together became their target.
He unleashed two terrifyingly sharp blades in quick succession.
*Sizzle*, ah...
A dozen or so people were cut in two. Some of the quicker ones lost a leg or an arm.
"I'll fuck your immortal!" Qian Ye roared, charging forward with murderous intent.
The Sichuan soldiers also charged forward.
The already small encirclement became even smaller.
Camille's lips curled into a devilish smile. "If we can't kill the big ones, killing some small ones isn't a loss!"
With rapid hand strikes, people fell one after another into pools of blood.
Li Tianyi shouted anxiously, "All the men of the 44th Army, retreat!"
They stopped abruptly and retreated in unison.
At the same time, Isabelle and Chunyu Sisi rushed in front of Li Tianyi, their bowstrings glowing and clicking.
"Full bow and sword!"
The two large bows almost completely blocked all escape routes.
Camille quickly blocked the attack.
Li Tianyi finally arrived and unleashed his full power in the Tai Chi sword technique. His Tai Chi energy gradually materialized, surrounded by Yin and Yang energies.
"Dragon's Might - Yin!"
"Dragon's Might - Yang!"
The Tai Chi symbol became even more profound, and it seemed that only the Yin and Yang energy remained around it, with nothing else.
Such bizarre moves terrified Camille, who refused to fight them any longer. She dodged their attacks repeatedly and fled into the dense forest of Hill 899.
"We absolutely cannot let him escape!"
He can't escape!
The remaining members of the assassin squad completely sealed off the area, meaning that no matter which direction they tried to escape from, they would be severely injured.
Camille panicked completely, and her combat power instantly decreased by 30%.
Special gesture: to prevent him from resorting to desperate measures!
Eye contact: Got it!
The crowd kept a certain distance from him, and whenever he moved, they would retreat, while people in other areas would rush forward, always keeping him within a ten-meter range.
Over time, Camille's combat strength dwindled to only five-tenths.
With excessive blood loss, the mantis hand blades were barely able to move.
Li Tianyi nodded slightly to Bai Rubing.
She slowly backed away, using her companion's body to block Camille's view, and then disappeared.
Suddenly, Li Tianyi accelerated at full speed.
This creates a double illusion for Camille, both visually and psychologically.
By the time he realized what was happening, Bai Rubing had already appeared behind him, and the black iron dagger had pierced through his body from the heart.
"Pfft!" Camille, unwilling to accept defeat, forced her heavily injured body to withstand the onslaught and unleashed a horizontal slash with her mantis hand blade, shouting, "Die!"
Xiaoman shielded her from a fatal blow, causing her blood and qi to surge violently.
At the same time, Li Tianyi appeared on the right slope and unleashed several powerful strikes, freezing Camille in place.
The space between his eyebrows slowly split open, then quickly cracked downwards, breaking into two halves.
"Huff, huff!" Li Tian gasped for breath. "Is he finally dead?"
"Hmm!" Xiaoman had already regulated her qi and blood. "This thing is really too difficult to kill!"
"Yes!" everyone exclaimed.
......
Five hours later.
Yi Honglie anxiously peered out from the command center.
"Brother Yi!" Qiao Yulong greeted him. "Camille hasn't sent any messages back for so long; he's probably failed!"
"Impossible!" Yi Honglie's attitude was firm. "With his strength, even if you and I joined forces, we might not be able to defeat him. How many capable fighters does the Dragon Kingdom have? Do they think they can stop him?"
“Analysis is one thing, but the actual situation is another,” Qiao Yulong sighed. “Brother Yi, let’s think about what big moves the Dragon Kingdom might make if they really fail!”
Yi Honglie trembled all over.
"Let's go in and investigate!"
The two carefully analyzed the entire Chinese garrison in Lop Nur and concluded that "with their current military equipment, they are not capable of destroying our multiple protective shields."
"Hmm! What I'm worried about now isn't their attack, but rather that they won't attack and will just wear us down!"
What do you mean?
Qiao Yulong pointed to the entire southwest region, "If they deploy all their troops here, forming an impenetrable encirclement, and launch artillery barrages at you every now and then, how many energy stones do you have to wear them down?"
"Hiss!" Yi Honglie frowned deeply, thinking of a solution.
Qiao Yulong smiled faintly, pointing to the depths of Lop Nur, "As long as we make good use of our advantages, what is there to fear even if the Dragon Kingdom surrounds us?"
Yi Honglie thought for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Brother Qiao, I am no match for you!"
"You're being modest!"
The two looked at each other and smiled...
Lop Nur, the headquarters of the 44th Army.
"The enemy is holed up and won't come out, no matter how much we challenge them or how much we bombard them!" Qin Jingshan looked at Li Tianyi, "War God Li, do you have any way to lure them out?"
“I’m not confident!” Li Tianyi pointed to the enemy’s core area. “There are too many unknown variables here. Even if the assassin team manages to infiltrate successfully, it will be difficult for them to escape.”
"With so many of us, surely we can think of a way to defeat the enemy?" Gu Can frowned.
Everyone fell silent.
As time passed, Li Tianyi suddenly looked up, picked up the communicator, and said, "Uncle, get Chief of Staff Kang Zhonghua here as soon as possible, it's extremely urgent!"
Within a second, Luo Yun's expression changed several times. "Fine, I'll let him go!"
Everyone waited anxiously...
Finally, three hours later, Kang Zhonghua arrived, looking travel-worn.
"Chief of Staff Kang, I know you've had a long and tiring journey, but military matters wait for no one!" Li Tianyi nodded apologetically.
“It’s alright, let’s go!” Kang Zhonghua walked towards the sand table.
After carefully examining the area, his brow furrowed at times and relaxed at others.
Everyone held their breath and waited patiently.
Suddenly, Kang Zhonghua spoke up: "There's only one way to lure them out!"
"What's the solution?" Everyone looked at him expectantly.
"Withdraw the troops!"
Kang Zhonghua's words were astonishing, leaving everyone stunned and speechless for a long time.
"Huh?" Li Tianyi racked his brains but still couldn't understand, so he shamelessly asked, "Why?"
"If you were the trapped enemy, and suddenly found that the people surrounding you had disappeared, what would you think?" Kang Zhonghua laughed. "You would definitely think it was a trap by the enemy, and you would be even more afraid to come out, right?"
"Huh!" Everyone was even more confused.
“In this situation, people will be on their toes, and if this continues, they’ll go crazy!” Kang Zhonghua’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “If a superior is strictly disciplining his subordinates, what do you think they will do?”
"A mutiny!" the crowd exclaimed in unison.
“Yes, but not entirely!” Kang Zhonghua’s smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. “The ancient Shu people and these alien scum have a different tolerance for hardship than we humans. They will never stage a coup, but their minds will certainly be tormented.”
"If we launch an attack then, we will surely annihilate them completely," Qiu Ping said excitedly.
Instead of being excited, Li Tianyi frowned deeply. "If they really make a move now, let alone annihilate us all, they will wipe out all three of our armies."
"Li Zhanshen truly lives up to his name; he grasps it immediately." Kang Zhonghua nodded in satisfaction, pointing to the core area of Lop Nur. "You've overlooked something crucial: the teleportation array!"
The commanders immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"I really can't understand what benefit this plan would bring us." Gu Can, as the chief of staff of the 145th Army, couldn't figure it out, let alone the other officers.
Chunyu Sisi, who was listening in, suddenly said, "Deplete all their energy cores!"
"Girl, you're quite good!" Kang Zhonghua had almost never admired a woman, but at this moment he greatly admired Chunyu Sisi, which showed the extent of her understanding of the art of war.
"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Kang!" Chunyu Sisi said sweetly.
Kang Zhonghua was startled and carefully noted down the details of this interesting little girl.
Suddenly, Li Tianyi slapped his thigh. "I get it! Look, how many enemies can a lake hold? When they teleport in large numbers and it becomes too crowded, it will expand outwards. And those exposed enemies will definitely worry about our long-range attacks, and they'll sell everything they own to build up protective shields."
“That’s right, how come I didn’t think of that!” Gu Can suddenly realized, “As long as we stall for time, we can eventually exhaust all the crystal cores, and that will be our chance to counterattack.”
Snap snap...
Excited applause erupted in the command center and lasted for a long time.
Kang Zhonghua pressed his hand down and said, "Everyone, stop! I have a few suggestions."
"I'm all ears!" Li Tianyi said respectfully.
"First, immediately mobilize all troops from the Southwest Theater Command to construct defensive fortifications with Lop Nur as the core."
Second, deploy super heavy artillery, with a caliber of at least 800mm, and arrange at least five guns on each defensive line.
Third, mobilize all air forces across the country to harass the enemy every hour, keeping them in a state of constant mental tension.
Fourth, the combat robots in Dafeng Mountain attack from multiple directions in Lop Nur around the clock. Remember: long-range attacks, bombard and then leave.
Fifth, and most importantly, Li Zhanshen and Luo Shanshen must remain in their sight for an extended period, creating the illusion that they are merely a piece of fat meat to be devoured whenever they wish!
Applause erupted again.
"Once the outer defenses are completed, immediately withdraw the troops stationed here!" Kang Zhonghua's lips curled up slightly. "Remember: do not destroy any of the defensive fortifications. Ideally, before withdrawing, deepen and widen the defenses by two meters so that the ancient Shu people can use what they already have."
"What does this mean?"
Before Kang Zhonghua could explain, Chunyu Sisi said, "With all areas widened, the air force can bomb more accurately, killing as many as come!"
"Girl, you're really something!" Kang Zhonghua gave a thumbs up. "May I ask, what were your ancestors' names?"
"Chunyu Liang!" Chunyu Sisi stood tall and proud.
“No wonder you’re from a family of famous generals!” Kang Zhonghua turned around, took out a somewhat tattered book from his pocket and handed it to her. “Girl, this is a summary of my experiences in all the battles I’ve participated in throughout my life. It might be helpful to you.”
"Huh?" Chunyu Sisi stood there, her eyes wide, as if petrified.
