Strongest Soldier King

In a battle between two armies, every possible means is employed. It's hard to say whether Siya Fa will make a full-scale move to annex Gai Wafu, but it can't be ruled out. For everyone, this is a crisis. Opportunities exist within danger; it depends on whether you can see and seize them. Luo Zheng laid out his thoughts, and Sarazi immediately recognized the potential benefits, his eyes lighting up as he pulled out his phone.

Luo Zheng saw that Sarazi was interested and breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Gai Wafu nearby, "Do you have any land mines or similar devices? If yes, set up a minefield outside the mountain entrance."

"We have some, but not many." Gai Wafu quickly replied, greatly admiring Luo Zheng's deployment. If they can indeed cut off Siya Fa's base, it would be a windfall, and this plan is ruthless enough.

"Bring them all out, don't be stingy with those scrappy lumps. After this battle, your losses will definitely be compensated, rest assured." Luo Zheng said confidently, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. In this battle, Luo Zheng decided to give Sam Country a hard hit to vent his inner anger.

Gai Wafu was also determined, and immediately sent someone to arrange it, but was stopped by Luo Zheng. Laying mines can be easily detected by satellite surveillance; prepare first, but wait until dark or until the fighting starts. Gai Wafu thought it made sense and had someone prepare first. Everyone returned to the cave, and Gai Wafu sent someone to prepare an early dinner.

Two hours later, everyone had eaten their fill and got ready for battle. Everyone was on high alert; the combat troops secretly lurking on the front line, and dinner was brought to them. The reserve forces were eager for action, and with a battle that concerned their future, no one dared to be careless.

Time passed gradually, and before they knew it, the sun had set. News came from the front lines that a team was approaching. Luo Zheng knew the battle was about to begin, so he and everyone went to the highest slope of the mountain ridge at the front lines. Everyone crouched down, calmly watching the front. Luo Zheng picked up his binoculars and saw that the team in front was about a hundred people, just as agreed. Sam Country's Special Forces were among the crowd, led by a middle-aged man in a suit.

Luo Zheng handed the binoculars to Gai Wafu. After watching for a while, Gai Wafu said with a stern expression, "The one in the suit is the special agent from Sam Country. Siya Fa didn't come; he sent his top general. It seems he takes this matter seriously. What should we do next?" he asked, handing the binoculars back to Luo Zheng.

A while later, the team stopped suddenly about two kilometers from the mountain entrance, resting in place without any intention to advance further. Luo Zheng was shocked and immediately sensed something was amiss. Quickly, through the earpiece, he said, "Check within a hundred kilometers behind this team, especially for vehicles."

"Understood," Lan Xing replied eagerly.

After a while, Lan Xing's urgent voice came through, "Vehicles are converging from different directions, assembling fifty kilometers from you. It seems they're the follow-up units."

"Dispersed actions, suddenly assembling; the enemy wants to avoid our reconnaissance and catch us off guard. Good calculation, but you must be prepared; otherwise, even knowing their ill intentions, it would be too late to deploy. However, I have a strange feeling—could it be that Sam Country has discovered your deployment?" Hong Meihua suddenly said, her words tinged with caution.

Luo Zheng suspiciously raised the binoculars again to observe, thinking that the enemy had stopped advancing, likely waiting for their follow-up troops to assemble. Once assembled, fifty kilometers is only half an hour's drive for trucks. This time frame would not be enough for an unprepared team to defend even if alerted, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. He quickly said, "Gentlemen, there are a lot of trucks converging from different directions to their rear to assemble."

"What? There really is a conspiracy." Gai Wafu said angrily. At that moment, Gai Wafu completely abandoned Sam Country, siding with Sarazi. Clenching his fists, he said coldly, "Why don't they choose to attack immediately? Could it be they've discovered we're prepared?"

"They won't—if they had found out, they wouldn't need to assemble troops; they'd attack directly. They're trying to confuse us and then catch us off guard. Do you believe it? Even if you send someone to negotiate now, they will stall for time as much as possible. Moreover, I estimate they will soon send someone to negotiate with you," Sarazi said coldly, staring intently at the front.

Just as he finished speaking, sure enough, someone from the front line walked over. It was the man in the black suit. Gai Wafu coldly said, "If this bastard wants to play, then let's play along. Should I go down to deal with him?" he asked, looking at Luo Zheng.

"They pretend; we pretend too. It's not a bad idea to go down and deal with him. Also, notify people to plant all the land mines at the mountain entrance immediately," Luo Zheng said coldly.

Gai Wafu agreed and hurried away, while Luo Zheng continued observing the front. By this time, darkness had fallen, casting everything in a grayish hue, reducing visibility drastically. Luo Zheng keenly noticed that some people had started moving to the flanks quickly and stealthily. If not for the thermal imaging instrument on the binoculars, it would have been hard to notice this situation. He became alert and swiftly communicated through the earpiece, "Brothers, the Special Forces from Sam Country have begun to move, likely intending to flank us. Be ready to act accordingly."

"Understood," everyone responded, getting up.

Upon learning of this situation, Sarazi's face turned sullen. Gripping his rifle tightly, he said angrily, "Sending an agent to negotiate to distract everyone's attention while the real killer move begins secretly. Their means are ruthless. Fortunately, we're prepared, or we would be passive. Does anyone know how many vehicles have assembled? Is Siya Fa making a full-scale move?"

"Hard to say; let's wait a bit longer. Are your people in position?" Luo Zheng inquired.

Sarazi made a few phone calls to inquire and then immediately reported to Luo Zheng, "They can arrive within half an hour."

"That's good. They stall for time, and so do we. Ideally, we'd start both fights simultaneously. If Siya Fa's troops know their base is under attack, their morale will plummet, and the battle will be easier." Luo Zheng said with a cold smile, while carefully observing the enemy ahead through his binoculars. He noticed five or six moving to the flanks, presumably snipers, and quickly informed everyone of the situation, advising them to be cautious.

At that moment, Lan Xing's voice crackled through the earpiece: "The convoy is nearly assembled, heading towards your location, with almost a hundred vehicles. Assuming each car transports thirty troops, that's over three thousand soldiers. If each car carries fifty, that would mean a full-scale mobilization."

Luo Zheng was delighted and immediately shared this information with Sarazi, allowing him to make his own assessment. No one knew how many people each vehicle carried as everyone had their habits. Sarazi, considering Siya Fa's character, began to ponder. This was a critical decision and couldn't be taken lightly. If Siya Fa made a full-scale move, it would be great; if not, attacking with just his men would be suicidal.
