In the jungle, the people of Lingnan had laid many traps.
However, as the soldiers of Great Qin advanced, they moved one after another, holding their shields and pushing forward step by step.
For safety, they even brought out weapons no one had expected.
Elephants.
They used elephants, found in the Peacock Kingdom, to advance.
Elephants were enormous, heavy, and had thick hides.
Ordinary weapons could not penetrate an elephant's skin.
Ordinary traps could not harm elephants in the slightest.
The traps dug by the people of Lingnan were more like small pits to the elephants.
With the appearance of the elephants, their advance speed increased.
As their speed quickened, the people of Lingnan naturally grew anxious.
Especially when they realized their traps were not very effective, they became even more anxious.
"Not good, our traps have lost their effect. Those Qin soldiers have brought a very large monster that easily broke through our traps!"
"Monster? What monster?"
"I don't know its name, but it's very tall and its skin is thick. Our traps have no effect on them! Coupled with those Qin soldiers advancing with shields, our traps are useless!"
Hearing this, many people became anxious.
If their traps were truly useless, their troubles would be immense.
Under such circumstances, they naturally had to think carefully about how to counter the attack of the Qin army.
It was known that the Qin army's offensive was terrifying. Now that their traps were useless, they had to rely on their warriors to attack the Qin army.
Therefore, one by one, they looked to their leaders, awaiting their orders.
Their leader pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Since the Qin army has already attacked us, we must fight back!"
"And if our small traps are useless against the Qin army, then we can only use large traps!"
"Use things like wooden rafts, bamboo rafts, and sharp stakes. Break through their defenses!"
"At the same time, our army will dig pits and hide, waiting for the Qin army to enter our attack range before we suddenly emerge and catch them off guard!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing their leader's command, many warriors sprang into action.
Some began constructing larger traps, while others started digging pits.
Those digging pits would create holes in hidden places and conceal themselves.
After the Qin vanguard passed, they would suddenly emerge and engage the Qin army in battle.
This method of combat was extremely dangerous, possibly even leading to their demise.
However, they understood that the Qin army was formidable.
If they did not use these methods to launch surprise attacks, they would not even be able to break through the Qin army's defenses.
In that case, their army's dream of fighting the Qin army would be just that – a dream.
For this reason, their leader specifically dispatched a thousand men to dig pits and hide within them.
These thousand men were prepared for a fight to the death.
Therefore, they dug the pits very quickly and concealed themselves very deeply.
Even if someone stepped on their bodies, they would not let out a single cry of pain.
It had to be said that in this regard, their endurance far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Because of this, they had indeed deceived many.
However, as Lin Tian approached, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Lin Tian discovered many unusual breathing sounds in the jungle.
Mixed within them were sounds of suppressed pain.
As soon as these sounds emerged, Lin Tian immediately felt that something was amiss.
"Halt!"
"Ambush!"
With the words "Ambush," everyone stopped their advance and simultaneously became vigilant of their surroundings.
Among the Lingnan warriors, there were those who understood the Qin language.
When they heard Lin Tian's words, their faces immediately changed.
They knew they had been discovered.
Because of this, he stood up directly from the deep pit.
"Brothers, no need to hide. The enemy has discovered our presence. Everyone come out and fight!"
"Fight!"
Hearing this, the people of Lingnan did not hesitate and charged out.
As they rushed out, they immediately saw Lin Tian in the middle of the crowd.
Lin Tian was dressed in opulent clothing and did not wear any armor, making him stand out in the army.
Upon seeing Lin Tian, the Lingnan warriors could essentially confirm his identity.
"He is the Crown Prince of Qin, he is Crown Prince Lin Tian!"
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the Crown Prince of Qin, Lin Tian, to be right before our eyes. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, a true heaven-sent opportunity!"
"Warriors, kill the Crown Prince of Qin, and this Qin army will collapse on its own. Everyone follow me and attack!"
After confirming Lin Tian's identity, the Lingnan warriors' eyes lit up.
Without any hesitation, they charged furiously towards Lin Tian.
The look in their eyes told everyone one thing: they were determined to kill Lin Tian.
Such frantic gazes caused a hint of panic among the Qin soldiers.
Lin Tian's identity was too precious. Others could be harmed, but Lin Tian could not.
Therefore, they instinctively wanted to protect Lin Tian.
However, many of them quickly realized that the most formidable fighter in their army was Lin Tian himself.
Lin Tian alone could rival an entire army.
The appearance of the Lingnan people before Lin Tian was no different from seeking their own doom.
Therefore, they quickly calmed down, leading their army to block the path before Lin Tian without any excessive actions.
This arrangement, in the eyes of the Lingnan people, seemed remarkably docile, so docile that they felt their opportunity had arrived.
"Hahaha! These people still don't know how to protect their Crown Prince at this point. What a bunch of fools!"
"Heh heh! It's good that they are foolish. If they weren't foolish, how could we possibly kill their Crown Prince?"
"It seems the Crown Prince of Qin is destined to face this tribulation. Then let us make our move and invite the Crown Prince of Qin to face his destiny!"
