Chapter 186 The Enemy's Probing Attack
The peaceful valley life didn't last long. The enemy, unwilling to let Ye Wan and her team live in peace and contentment, quietly tracked them down. One morning, the birdsong around the valley suddenly quieted, and an uneasy stillness filled the air. Ye Wan immediately became alert, realizing the enemy might have discovered the valley and sent a small force to test their defenses.
Precautionary defensive arrangements
Upon arriving in the valley, Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan realized that finding a safe haven was only the first step to survival; transforming the valley into a truly secure base was even more crucial. With the help of the system, Ye Wan analyzed the terrain and meticulously designed a multi-layered defense perimeter. While the terrain surrounding the valley was treacherous, it offered paths for the enemy to infiltrate. She marked these weak points and set early warning traps to monitor for potential intrusions.
Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan had a clear division of labor: Ye Wan was responsible for setting traps and maintaining defensive vigilance, while Xie Linchuan directed the team in actual combat drills. Together, they developed a tailored response plan for each team member, covering counterattacks based on enemy positions, how to respond to sudden attacks, and how to quickly evacuate and protect the elderly and vulnerable within the valley. Through repeated drills, everyone gradually developed a tacit understanding and gained confidence in their responsibilities.
The enemy's exploratory attack is coming
When the birdsong suddenly faded, Ye Wan quickly signaled to Xie Linchuan with a glance. In unison, the two quickly took their positions. She whispered instructions to all team members, urging them to remain quietly at their designated defensive positions. Xie Linchuan then led a patrol to the valley entrance, where they took cover and prepared to meet the enemy.
Soon, soft footsteps and whispers could be heard from outside the valley. The enemy squad was cautiously approaching. With the help of the system, Ye Wan observed that the enemy was not numerous, clearly a exploratory vanguard. With each step forward, they paused to observe their surroundings, carefully examining the valley's terrain and possible defensive arrangements.
However, the situation changed when the enemy touched the trap Ye Wan had set. With a slight click, the trap was triggered, and the vines suddenly tightened, tripping several enemies unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Ye Wan issued instructions through the system, prompting the team members to act according to the rehearsed plan.
A team that responded calmly
Under the command of Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan, the enemy's small group's probing attack was swiftly and effectively countered. Following their pre-arranged deployment, the team members took their positions and calmly and calmly counterattacked. One group was responsible for long-range attacks from concealed positions, using bows and arrows and hurling rocks to cause confusion in the enemy; the other group was responsible for defending the only narrow passage leading into the valley, preventing the enemy from advancing further.
From the high ground at the valley's entrance, Xie Linchuan and Ye Wan directed their team's precise counterattack. Their command flowed smoothly, requiring almost no words. Their tacit understanding and smooth coordination significantly reduced the threat posed by the enemy squad. Xie Linchuan's composure, combined with Ye Wan's meticulous planning, ensured a seamless and orderly defense.
The enemy attempted several attacks, but each one was effectively blocked. They had clearly underestimated Ye Wan's team's reaction speed and combat effectiveness, and were quickly trapped. Whenever the enemy attempted to break through from another route, the pre-set traps and ambushes would quickly activate, preventing them from executing any moves.
Confidence and morale boosted by victory
Ultimately, the enemy was crushed and forced to retreat. Cheers echoed through the valley. Having successfully repelled the enemy, the team's morale was at an all-time high. Everyone's face shone with confidence and satisfaction, their hearts filled with faith in the valley's defenses. Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan looked around, seeing the beaming smiles of their team members. They all shared a tacit understanding, a reassuring smile on their faces.
Ye Wan walked to a young team member and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Well done, your judgment is very accurate." The young team member looked at Ye Wan excitedly, smiled gratefully, and clenched his weapons, as if this encouragement gave him infinite strength.
Xie Linchuan said to everyone on the other side, "The enemy may continue to test us, but your performance today proved that our defense system is very effective. Keep up this momentum, and we will be confident in dealing with more threats in the future."
Further improvement of team cohesion
This small victory not only boosted the team members' confidence but also deepened their trust in one another. The team members began to rely more on each other's strength, understanding that they were fighting not just for themselves but also to protect their comrades. Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan, with their calm and decisive command, became the indispensable backbone of the team. Their tacit cooperation was like the team's strongest fortress.
Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan also continued to motivate their team members. She organized a simple celebration, gathering around a campfire to share their experiences and reflections. She asked everyone to share their experiences during the battle, helping everyone rediscover their own value. Her encouragement filled the team members with immense pride, realizing they were an integral part of the team.
Xie Linchuan took this opportunity to further emphasize the importance of defense and offered several suggestions for improvement. He encouraged everyone to build on this victory and remain vigilant, never letting down their guard against the enemy. This rigorous approach ensured that despite their victory, the team members remained vigilant and prepared for even greater challenges.
Future concerns
Although the enemy had been easily repelled this time, Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan both knew that this was only a small exploratory force, and the true danger had yet to arrive. While the valley was secluded, it couldn't remain secret for long. The two privately discussed their next response strategy, deciding to continue strengthening their defenses and be prepared to evacuate at any moment.
"Although our defense is sufficient to withstand a small force, we may be in trouble if the enemy launches a large-scale attack." Ye Wan said in a low voice, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Xie Linchuan nodded, looking towards the valley entrance with a resolute gaze. "I will do my best to protect everyone. You and I will stick together as a team."
Ye Wan smiled slightly, patted his shoulder, and responded firmly: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, I will fight alongside you."
Continue to prepare and look forward to
As night fell, the valley regained its brief tranquility. The team members gradually settled down around the campfire, their hearts filled with anticipation and confidence for the next day. Ye Wan and Xie Linchuan stood high in the valley, gazing at the distant mountain silhouettes, their hearts already prepared for the challenges ahead.
They knew this small victory was just the beginning, but in this hidden valley, their team would continue to grow and become an indestructible force. They were full of anticipation for the future and believed that no matter how close the enemy approached, their team would write their own legend with tenacity and courage.
