They finished all the barbecue, and after eating, Chen Haoxuan let Lin Hao and the others rest for half an hour. After that, Chen Haoxuan divided Lin Hao's group into two factions to battle each other. They could use cunning strategies and various methods as long as they succeeded.
Lin Hao took half of the people, while Jiang Dong took the other half, and Chen Haoxuan was responsible for overseeing their gunfight.
Among Lin Hao's group, almost everyone was a farmer, and many were skilled at setting traps. They quickly showcased their abilities and set up numerous traps.
Both Lin Hao and Jiang Dong had the same idea; they wanted to defeat each other using traps. However, they were waiting for the other side to attack, and this waiting lasted for twenty minutes. Finally, Chen Haoxuan couldn't help but shout, "You idiots! If the enemy isn't attacking, why aren't you attacking? Just be careful; what are you afraid of?"
Hiding on a small hillside, Jiang Dong said to his companions, "Walk lightly so Lin Hao and his group don't notice us. Follow me." Jiang Dong led his team slowly toward Lin Hao's position.
On Lin Hao's side, he said to one of his teammates, "Gao Jun, do you see that tall mountain? Climb up quickly and use sign language to inform me of any movements." The sign language was taught by Chen Haoxuan; it wasn't modern sign language but a simplified version from the Future Century. Only Chen Haoxuan and his group understood its meaning.
Jiang Dong wanted to ambush Lin Hao's group while Lin Hao planned to wait for them to come. They relied on their traps and the terrain's advantages to confront Jiang Dong's team.
No matter how concealed they were, moving made it easy to expose their position. Jiang Dong's team was spotted by Gao Jun on the mountaintop. Gao Jun used sign language to inform Lin Hao of the situation.
From Gao Jun's gestures, Lin Hao learned that Jiang Dong was over a hundred meters ahead of him. A sly smile crept onto his lips as he quietly told his companions, "Everyone pay attention; Jiang Dong is coming. Stay hidden. When they arrive, we'll find a way to scatter them and eliminate them one by one."
As Jiang Dong's team approached Lin Hao's group, someone suddenly stood up fifty meters to Jiang Dong's left and shouted loudly, "I'm over here! Come catch me!"
The people behind Jiang Dong saw someone fifty meters away on their left and wanted to rush over. Upon seeing this situation, Jiang Dong shouted to his companions, "Everyone stay back! They might have set a trap. If we go over there, we'll fall into their scheme. Stay close to me and keep moving forward."
Seeing that Jiang Dong wasn't falling for the trick, Lin Hao ordered his team to spread out completely to lure Jiang Dong into the area where they had set many traps. Then they would launch a surprise attack from all directions. Lin Hao called this plan "Tenfold Ambush."
Lin Hao They retreated to the hillside and shouted loudly, "Jiang Dong, we're here! If you have the guts, come at us!" This hillside was filled with many traps, and as long as Jiang Dong brought his people here, these traps would greatly affect their combat effectiveness.
Hearing Lin Hao's voice, Jiang Dong turned to his team and said, "Everyone be careful; they must have set traps. Each of us should take a long stick to probe the path. If we find Lin Hao, use the sticks as weapons and deal with them harshly."
Jiang Dong led the way. When they reached the top of the slope, he used his stick to probe ahead and inadvertently triggered a trap. A thick vine sprang up violently, tied to the top of a bamboo shoot, and he could sense the fear from its force.
Jiang Dong thought to himself, "Good thing I used the stick to probe; otherwise, if I had fallen into this trap, my leg might have been dislocated."
Seeing one trap fail, Lin Hao realized that Jiang Dong was prepared for their traps. He then used provocation against Jiang Dong, shouting, "Jiang Dong, you coward! I've been waiting for you here for so long, and you're still not coming? Are you afraid of me? If so, just say you surrender, and I won't beat you anymore."
"Lin Hao, you shameless guy! Don't think I'll fall for your tricks. If you have guts, come over here and face us in a Gunfight," Jiang Dong shouted back at Lin Hao.
Noticing that Jiang Dong had yet to produce anything useful for battle after such a long time, Chen Haoxuan couldn't help but frown. If it were him, he could make weapons from wood and bamboo. However, aside from setting some primitive traps, Jiang Dong and his team had nothing practical.
Chen Haoxuan bit down on his dagger and quickly charged forward. When he reached the top of the mountain, he climbed a large tree from where he could see the entire battlefield clearly.
No matter how much Jiang Dong warned his team, two of them still fell victim. One fell into a deep pit while another got tangled in vines and was left hanging high in a tree. Before Jiang Dong could rescue them, he heard shouts of battle coming from all directions. Realizing this situation meant he was surrounded by Lin Hao's people.
While Lin Hao had dispersed his team, Jiang Dong had all his people clustered around him. He then thought of a charge; as long as he led everyone in one direction to attack, no one could stop them.
"Lin Hao is right ahead! Let's rush over and capture him; that will mean we've won half the battle," Jiang Dong shouted.
With more than ten people, they quickly rushed toward the location where Lin Hao's voice had come from. Along the way, Jiang Dong triggered several more traps consecutively.
Lin Hao crawled on the ground and saw Jiang Dong approaching him. He muttered to himself, "If only we had a gun."
"Stop, everyone gather here," Chen Haoxuan shouted loudly, clearly disappointed with Lin Hao and the others' tactics.
Jiang Dong and the others heard Chen Haoxuan's voice and quickly ran to the base of the tree where he was, lining up.
Chen Haoxuan jumped down from the tree, angrily addressing Lin Hao and the others, "Don't you feel like you're all pathetic? What's the difference between your fighting and playing house? Lin Hao, you spread everyone out to surround Jiang Dong. Did you think you had firearms? In the era of cold weapons, surrounding the enemy with a small number of people will only lead to your own demise, unless your numbers are ten times greater than the enemy's."
Jiang Dong had been concentrating his team and moving forward, which was commendable, but it was also foolish. If they had made simple bows and arrows from vines and bamboo, they would all be dead. Perhaps they were hiding on the side, waiting to ambush you from the flanks as you passed by. You would lose half your people before you even realized what was happening...
