Another advantage of the primeval forest is the abundance of rare herbs; even during droughts, many medicinal materials can still be preserved here.
Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and other medicinal herbs are also quite common.
With the help of the God of Wealth, Zang Huatian, Chenxi's team did not lack medical supplies, and their prevention and treatment of the plague were very effective.
However, this resulted in harm to the animals here. Many were either driven away or exterminated by the people of Chenxi.
They fled to the jungles of other counties.
During this period, some refugees did come into the mountains. Those who obeyed were incorporated into Chenxi's team, while those who disobeyed were beaten until they obeyed.
The vast majority of refugees were obedient; they had no choice but to obey, as the jungle had already been ravaged by the people of Chenxi, and food was scarce.
Furthermore, the people of Chenxi are more familiar with the jungle and are even more ferocious.
Chenxi gazed at the vast forests, trees, and grass, all bare of leaves from the locust plague.
But the tree trunk did not die, and it will still be lush and green the following year.
The next day, the troops were divided into three groups, led by Zhang Feng, Qi Xiuwu, and Zhao Rong respectively, and began a real showdown.
This wasn't the first time such a drill had been conducted, and the soldiers were quite familiar with it.
Traversing mountains and valleys, deploying troops in the jungle, employing various tactics and strategies, engaging in repeated duels.
Shenxi stood on the mountaintop, watching the team led by Zhang Feng, who were hidden behind a pile of rocks, not moving an inch.
Three scouts from Qi Xiuwu's team were surveying the terrain, but they hadn't discovered the hidden force at all.
The three men huddled together, shook their heads, made a few gestures, and nodded to each other without saying a word. They then separated and began to investigate again.
Shenxi nodded in admiration. These soldiers were really good at hiding; they could remain completely still.
These three scouts were agile, moving like cats among the rocks and jungle.
Suddenly, a scout walking behind a strange rock was hooked by a small team of people. The team attacked simultaneously, and the scout was "eliminated" before he could even make a sound.
This puts both scouts in the same predicament.
But one of the scouts, on his deathbed, struck a gong as a warning.
The squad leader was extremely frustrated; he knew his squad's mission had failed.
Upon realizing their position had been exposed, Zhang Feng quickly turned his team around and moved directly to the second ambush location.
His team's mission this time was to lay an ambush and launch an attack.
He marked out a suitable ambush location and sent out scouts to find out the enemy's marching route.
Set up an ambush along the enemy's marching route and launch an ambush battle. The main objective is to cut off the enemy's scouts.
He hadn't expected the enemy scouts to arrive so quickly; before he could even spot them, they had already located the ambush site.
Zhang Feng had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and eliminate the enemy's scouts.
Qi Xiuwu's scouts were able to transmit information even under such a sudden change, which was a success.
Zhang Feng's team had just moved when they were ambushed and attacked by Qi Xiuwu's men on the way.
As Qi Xiuwu charged forward, he laughed loudly: "Zhang Feng, you little brat, didn't expect that, did you? My few scouts were just feinting; my other scouts had already found out your ambush point."
Zhang Feng blushed. Who leaked such a confidential matter, and how was it discovered?
The battle lasted for an hour before it was nearing its end.
Zhang Feng suffered a crushing defeat!
They suffered heavy losses and were utterly defeated.
Qi Xiuwu kept his men observing the surroundings, remaining vigilant even while fighting Zhang Feng's men.
He hasn't forgotten that scoundrel Zhao Rong.
Insidious and cunning, full of tricks.
He didn't want to be attacked by Zhao Rong again when "facing the enemy".
He had already cleaned up the battlefield, but Zhao Rong still didn't make a move.
His scouts had already discovered that Zhao Rong was nearby, but he didn't make a move. Why was that?
You should know that Zhao Rong's mission this time was to eliminate Qi Xiuwu.
Zhang Feng's mission is to ambush either of them.
His mission is to defend against danger; whoever attacks him, he can retaliate.
Does Zhao Rong not want to fight him this time?
impossible.
He sent out scouts again to investigate.
The scouts quickly reported back: Zhao Rong's troops were still in the same place.
They've already started cooking and are preparing lunch.
Qi Xiuwu was incredulous; Zhao Rong always waged ambushes and surprise attacks.
They always take the initiative; they've never waited in one place like this before.
They were waiting not far from him.
Qi Xiuwu had reason to attack Zhao Rong, because the plot was designed so that Zhao Rong would destroy him.
Why not take advantage of the other person's cooking time and launch a surprise attack?
But he gave up after just one thought; he figured the other party must have some dirty tricks up their sleeve, and he didn't want to fall for it.
He also rested on the spot.
However, they were extremely tense and vigilant.
As evening approached, Zhao Rong began to instruct people to prepare dinner.
Qi Xiuwu was completely bewildered. What was Zhao Rong trying to do?
He waited a while longer, and gradually became a little anxious.
The scout's reply was still that the other party hadn't moved and had already finished dinner.
He didn't believe Zhao Rong was making baseless accusations; he wondered what kind of bad scheme Zhao Rong was plotting.
He glanced at the scouts; several were scouting outside.
He couldn't help but ask the scout captain, "Have all the scouts you sent out returned?"
The scout team leader paused for a moment, then carefully checked the times of each scout's departure and return.
They became alert when two scouts failed to return before lunchtime.
He was shocked. It was during Qi Xiuwu's battle with Zhang Feng, and because of the chaos, no one noticed that the two scouts had not returned.
After that, scouts would return to report each time, and no one noticed anything amiss.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiuwu angrily shouted, "I'll punish you when we get back."
After so many training sessions, such a lapse in judgment is bound to warrant a severe punishment.
The scout captain did not dare to plead for leniency, but instead gathered the scouts and repeatedly checked the situation.
Then he reported to Qi Xiuwu, who was assembling the team: "The information was blank during the morning period, but there were no problems at other times."
Seeing that the troops were still assembling, Qi Xiuwu immediately ordered, "Hurry up."
Just as he was giving orders, suddenly, a group of soldiers seemed to descend from the sky and launched a surprise attack on his troops from behind.
Because he suddenly ordered the troops to assemble, and while the situation was in turmoil, they were attacked again, causing the troops to become even more chaotic.
One of the junior officers, leading the charge, shouted in his childish voice, "Charge! Capture Qi Xiuwu!"
Upon hearing this voice, Qi Xiuwu was filled with anger and fury: "What a dissident and his followers! It seems they have gone too far!"
Leading the charge was none other than Junior Colonel Shen Qing.
She charged in, wielding a large knife, as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
