The militia assisted the military and police in capturing enemy agents. With so many people, they had no problem doing it.
But who wouldn't be afraid to help a complete novice fight a major battle against countless enemies?
The six men broke out in a cold sweat, trembling and looking around nervously. Zheng Ya was speechless for a moment, and only after they had adjusted for about three minutes did he ask, "What are you afraid of?"
If anything happens, I'll be the one to take the lead.
I've also laid out a 300-meter-long trap, enough to give the enemy a real headache.
You are merely providing me with bluffing and fire support, misleading the enemy into believing that we have a squad holding the high ground and that we must be wary of them flanking us from the left and right slopes and ambushing us from behind.
At the same time, we only have a few soldiers; if we can't break through with a direct assault, we'll lose face. We need to force them to fight us head-on, understand?
"You talk a good game, but the enemy isn't stupid. Why should they listen to you?" Xu Erdan wanted to retreat.
Greed for merit and promotion, or being transferred to the city to live a government job, is something everyone dreams of.
But would I be stupid enough to risk my life like that?
The other five people stood still, but their shifty eyes betrayed their desire to retreat.
Unfortunately, Zheng Ya sensed it clearly and didn't give them the chance: "If you chicken out, then get lost."
Otherwise, move ammunition and grenades for me, divide into three groups, each occupy a high point on a hill, and help me kill the enemy.
If the enemy kills me, and you run away, no one will see you, right?
"Haha, alright, no cowards among the men of Xu Family Village, let's do it." Xu Erdan wasn't stupid; he understood the threat in the man's words and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
What else?
If Zheng Ya were to spread the word that I deserted, my life would be ruined!
Forget about getting credit and promotion; that's just a pipe dream.
On the contrary, if Zheng Ya were killed by the enemy, all the credit would go to the six of them!
Even if they ultimately choose to escape and no one sees it, that's fighting to the last moment, making them people's heroes, and their contributions are immense.
"Shasha!" Xu Erdan spoke, and the other five began to move.
Zheng Ya smiled and said, "Alright, the men of Xujiazhuang, let's fight the enemy."
"Haha, you tell me, the men of Xu Family Village guarantee to fight to the last moment, please!" Xu Erdan reluctantly accepted his encouragement, which was actually a threat.
If you're a real man, don't be a deserter and become a laughingstock for the rest of your life.
It's said that women are fickle, saying one thing and thinking another.
Men aren't much less capable than women.
They can spout a whole bunch of nice words, but who knows how many ulterior motives they're plotting?
Zheng Ya simply smiled in response, then turned and hung his homemade gold leaf on top of a slender tree trunk. He carried the trunk to the back of the trap and plunged the end into the sand: "Boom!"
The sharp tree trunk, driven into the sandy soil by Zheng Ya's powerful thrusts, was plunged more than a meter deep.
The shaking caused the gold leaf hanging more than three meters high at the top of the tree trunk to ripple in the breeze under the setting sun, making it dazzlingly bright.
Gold foil was used as bait, disguised as the Muchen Pearl gold foil, to lure the enemy into a trap.
Zheng Ya believed that the enemy would be tricked and come to their deaths. This was because the enemy came from different countries and forces and were not of one mind. They were afraid that someone else would get the Muchen Pearl and gold foil first, so they had no choice but to rush to snatch it.
"Beep beep, beep beep," the telegraph machine beeped again.
To facilitate communication, Zheng Ya had already moved the radio from the cave to behind a rock not far away. He listened to the message and translated it: "Report the situation. If they're not dead, then speak up?"
"The outsiders are invincible. Hang gold leaf and demand a replacement. If you're late, we'll collect your corpse..." Zheng Ya began urging the enemy to finish!
If you don't give the enemy any sense of urgency, they won't be in a hurry to come and die.
This is called the "spreading the flames" tactic, a psychological warfare tactic.
Sure enough, the enemy frantically sent out telegrams: "Hold on, reinforcements will arrive in ten minutes."
"Keeping the outsider in check is crucial for us."
"The Muchen Pearl, Lu Ban's mechanical arts—not a single piece can be missing..."
"We'll meet again in twenty years; those outside the secular world are not allowed to run away."
"Keep people here, keep them occupied, and hold on."
...
The frequent telegrams revealed the enemy's anxiety. Zheng Ya sat down on the grass, took out roasted lamb chops and a century-old wine from his special ability space, and began to eat the meat and wine with sips.
I've been busy all day and haven't even had a meal yet.
Fortunately, while dealing with the twenty-nine enemies and preparing medicine to save lives, Zheng Ya had also roasted half an antelope, and only now has he had time to enjoy lunch.
The taste is absolutely amazing! No wonder it's a barbecue seasoning made with over 900 years of Chinese medicinal herbs. The grilled antelope ribs are truly delicious and fragrant.
The value of being unfaithful is 100.
The value of being unfaithful is 100.
Unfaithfulness score: 100...
As the enemy army pressed in, the level of disloyalty skyrocketed.
In just five minutes, Zheng Ya's "heartlessness value" increased by more than 700,000, leading him to conclude that he had quite a few enemies. He ate and drank while grinning from ear to ear, wasting a lot of century-old fine wine and roasted antelope.
"Damn Zheng Ya, why didn't he eat earlier or later, but he had to eat meat now to tempt people? What a bastard!" Xu Erdan lay prone on the mountaintop to the right of the cave, cursing as he smelled the aroma of meat.
Xu Laoqi, who was standing next to him, said with a longing look, "Captain, let's go get some meat to eat, I'm so hungry..."
"Eat, eat, all you know is eating. If you miss, then go ahead and do it!" Xu Erdan also wanted to eat meat, but he felt like he was begging as a beggar, so he couldn't bring himself to do it and provoked Xu Laoqi to go beg for meat.
Old Xu was incredibly hungry, but he didn't believe his jinx—that he'd run into an enemy attack while begging for meat. He quickly scrambled to his feet and ran downhill, rustling through the air.
It was incredibly fast, like a rabbit being chased by a hunter, leaping and bounding through the woods, over rocks, and charging rapidly down the mountain.
But just then, the first enemy force reached the fields a kilometer away and came into Zheng Ya's view. They've arrived?
Thirteen little white mice, I can't wait!
Zheng Ya initially wanted to use his gun to attack the enemy, but then he thought it would be a waste. It would be a disservice to the enemy's selfless sacrifice if he didn't use these readily available guinea pigs to train his supernatural illusion magic.
"Shasha!" Xu Laoqi ran up behind him, wiping the drool from his mouth with a greedy look, and said, "Ahem, Comrade Zheng Ya, we came in a hurry and haven't had lunch yet, what do you think?"
"I think, well, with your robust physique, you'd be a real-life version of Lu Bu in a play!"
"Good heavens, you're really fierce and extraordinary. Are you perhaps the reincarnation of Lü Bu?" Zheng Ya teased him and refused to give him any food.
It's not that Zheng Ya is stingy, it's just that when Xu Erdan and his six companions came to their aid, everyone offered up their "heartlessness points" but not a single one contributed any "righteousness points." And yet they still expect to eat something delicious.
There were no doors or windows there, so forget about it.
Xu Laoqi awkwardly scratched his head and chuckled: "Haha, really? Do I really look like Lü Bu?"
That's none other than Lü Bu, the greatest warrior of the Three Kingdoms period!
"Yes, I'm talking about Lü Bu, that traitor who served three masters..."
"What the hell? You're clearly insulting me..."
"Shh, the enemy's here! Lie down!" Zheng Ya pointed to the hillside 300 meters away. Xu Laoqi looked in the direction he was pointing, then collapsed to the ground, trembling. "Damn it! Lots of armed enemies! What do we do...?"
