Chapter 99 Let them taste the power of the Valley of Passion
Soon after, a well-equipped and well-trained army was assembled.
Yang Fugong personally came to the military camp and rallied the soldiers: "Brothers, this mission is extremely important. We must wipe out the Valley of Passion and completely raze it to the ground!"
The soldiers were in high spirits, raising their weapons and shouting in unison, "We swear to be loyal to the death and will not fail in our mission!"
This elite force quickly left the military camp and headed towards the direction of Zhushan Passion Valley.
Meanwhile, in the Valley of Passion, a scout named Qiu San was patrolling the edge of the valley.
He was agile and vigilantly observed the movements around him.
Suddenly, he spotted a group of people loitering near the valley.
Qiu San immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly reported the situation to Valley Master Qiu Ruoshui.
"Valley Master, something terrible has happened!"
Qiu San said breathlessly, "I spotted a group outside the valley carrying a large flag with the character 'Yang' on it. They seem to be looking for our base."
Qiu Ruoshui was startled upon hearing this and immediately stood up, asking seriously, "How many people are there? What is their equipment like?"
“There are about several hundred people, well-equipped, and they look like a regular army,” Qiu San replied.
Qiu Ruoshui frowned, thinking to herself: This must be an army sent by the imperial court, and their target must be the Valley of Passion.
Although Qiu Ruoshui knew that the outside world was hostile to the Valley of Passion, she did not expect that someone would come to attack the Valley of Passion in such a grand manner.
He quickly made a decision and instructed Qiu Sandao: "Go back and continue monitoring. Report any new developments immediately."
Qiu San nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Qiu Ruoshui guessed that the girl Qiu must have offended someone from the government, which led to this trouble.
He quickly grabbed a piece of paper and pen and wrote down an urgent message: "Twilight, there is an army carrying a banner with the character 'Yang' on it near Zhushan Valley, and they seem to be looking for our base. Do not return yet, in case of any unforeseen circumstances."
After finishing writing, Qiu Ruoshui rolled the letter into a small tube and tied it to the leg of a trained carrier pigeon.
She gently stroked the carrier pigeon's feathers and whispered, "Go quickly, make sure you get this letter to Twilight Sparkle."
The homing pigeons spread their wings and soared through layers of bamboo forest, flying towards the distance.
Qiu Ruoshui then summoned her four masters, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, to discuss countermeasures.
The atmosphere in the council hall of the Valley of Passion was tense and solemn.
Qiu Ruoshui sat in the main seat, her gaze fixed firmly on her four masters: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
"Gentlemen, we have received news that an army is about to attack our Valley of Passion. We need a well-thought-out plan to deal with this crisis."
Master Chun frowned and said, "Qiu girl can bring great storms wherever she goes, but we haven't stretched our muscles in a long time. Although we are old, we are still as strong as ever when it comes to strategizing and deploying troops."
Master Xia added, "In this situation, we should first focus on defense. We can take advantage of the terrain, set traps, and delay them."
Master Qiu nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, we should make full use of the terrain here and try to delay as much time as possible."
Master Dong also stepped forward: "If Qiu girl receives the Valley Master's letter, she will surely take action. It would be even better if we could coordinate from the inside and outside!"
Qiu Ruoshui calmly said, "It's too risky to confront them directly. We need to find their weaknesses so we can strike them down in one blow."
Master Chun nodded: "Valley Master, please tell me your plan in detail."
Qiu Ruoshui stood up, picked up the map on the table, and several masters and important disciples gathered around to listen to the Valley Master explain his plan in detail.
The Valley Master pointed to a map and said in a deep voice, "Using the terrain of Bamboo Mountain Valley, we can set up numerous traps and mechanisms here. At the same time, we need to place sentries in key locations to ensure that the enemy's every move is under our control."
Master Xia nodded and said, "Good idea. We can use some simple mechanisms to delay the enemy's advance, such as tripwires or rolling stones."
Master Qiu added, "We can also set up a maze at the entrance to the valley to disorient the enemy and buy us more time."
"Next, we will determine that the main force of this team is concentrated in the southeast direction. We can take advantage of this and adopt a strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory."
Qiu Ruoshui pointed to a mountain hollow on the map and said, "This place is strategically located and suitable for an ambush. We can send out a small team, disguised as our main force, to attract their attention. Then, we can ambush elite troops on both sides and wait for them to enter the encirclement before annihilating them in one fell swoop."
Qiu Ruoshui continued, "First, Master Chun led a small team to the southeast to create the illusion that the main force had been mobilized. Master Xia and Master Qiu each led two elite troops to ambush on both sides of the mountain pass. Master Dong was responsible for rear support."
Master Chun nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's proceed according to this plan. Valley Master, you're truly amazing."
Qiu Ruoshui smiled slightly and said, "Remember, on the battlefield, strategy and courage are equally important."
With the plan in place, the members of the Valley of Passion quickly sprang into action.
Master Chun led his team out, deliberately revealing their whereabouts to attract the attention of the other team.
Master Xia and Master Qiu led their respective teams to quietly infiltrate the designated positions, preparing for an ambush.
Everyone nodded in agreement, ready to split up and take action.
In Yangzhou, Qiu Ziyue received a letter from Valley Master Qiu Ruoshui.
Qiu Ziyue was furious: "Damn Zhao Wanqing, she acted so quickly, and even wanted to wipe out our Chiqing Valley. Luckily, I was one step ahead and gave her a beauty-aging pill."
Qiu Langyu asked, "So, what do you plan to do next, junior sister?"
"It's alright. Let our masters teach them a lesson first, let them experience the power of our Valley of Passion. Zhao Wanqing will come begging to us for help," I'll say, "then I'll deal with her properly."
At the foot of Zhushan Mountain, the soldiers dispatched by Yang Fugong, despite their superior equipment, seemed somewhat helpless in the face of the complex terrain.
Bamboo Mountain, with its lush bamboo growing everywhere, made it impossible to see the road ahead, leaving them bewildered and at a loss.
The traps set in the Valley of Passionate Love caused the officers and soldiers a great deal of suffering.
The officer and soldier leader stood on a high ground, his eyes scanning the bamboo forest in front of him with keen eyes.
His expression was solemn as he instructed his adjutant beside him: "Pass down the order to disperse the troops and search for the entrance to the Valley of Passion separately. Be extremely careful and do not be careless."
The deputy general accepted the order and left. Soon, several hundred soldiers were divided into several small teams, each carrying weapons, and carefully entered the dense forest.
They knew the importance of this operation, and they also understood the dangers involved.
A thin layer of mist permeated the dense forest, blurring the view.
The officers and soldiers marched along the path, occasionally hearing the sound of tree branches snapping and the roars of wild beasts in the distance, making the atmosphere extremely tense.
A battle is about to begin.
