Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1765: Chapter 1767: Tunnel Assault

”Order the Rat Tribe, they can start moving; let the Wolf Clan supervise them. If anyone dares to retreat, kill without mercy!”

Ye Luo issued another command.

This time, the main focus was the Rat Tribe!

The Rat Tribe is skilled at digging tunnels, so naturally, they can also dig passageways.

In fact, before the war began, half of the tunnel was already dug, and Ye Luo prepared a large number of explosive talismans within it!

Explosive talismans are just one-time consumables, not too difficult to make.

However, during warfare, their use is not extensive.

After all, these explosive talismans are only effective at close range, and their power is merely average.

But since they are cheap, Ye Luo certainly wouldn’t miss out.

Under the supervision of five hundred Wolf Clan soldiers, two thousand Rat Tribe soldiers entered the five tunnels which had already been mostly dug.

If anyone went inside to observe, they would find that although there were only five entrances, the entire inside of the tunnel was complex and interwoven, and the network of passages nearly covered the entire underground!

The biggest weakness of the Rat Tribe is their cowardice; without the Wolf Clan soldiers to pressure them, Ye Luo was concerned they might flee without fighting.

It should be known that tunnel attacks are a crucial part of Ye Luo’s series of assaults and cannot afford any mistakes!

At this time, the enemy was organizing their formation, regrouping their troops, and positioning their Spirit Power Cannons!

Those large Spirit Power Cannons, along with spiritual ballistae and automatic cannons, formed an intertwined firepower net, madly showering fire rain toward Ye Luo’s side!

However, Ye Luo was well-prepared for this; these defense facilities were not built just for show, and one after another, the Defensive Array activated, stubbornly resisting the enemy’s attacks!

”Fire, fire relentlessly, let the people of the Da Yue Empire taste being bombarded!”

A Commerce Alliance general cursed angrily, as Ye Luo’s Spirit Power Cannon barrage had caused them significant losses!

The continuous sound of bombardment reverberated, causing the riverbanks to tremble!

But the enemy never expected that these tremors would become the best cover for the Rat Tribe!

The tunnels extended continuously, and bundles of explosive talismans were swiftly placed within, unbeknownst to the enemy, a greater crisis was about to descend!

...

”Now is the time, quickly, prepare to leave!”

The Rat Tribe leader finally felt the timing was right, and without hesitation, led his people outwards, while thirty Wolf Clan death soldiers entered the tunnel!

Counting on the Rat Tribe to have the spirit of sacrifice to ignite the detonation talismans in the tunnel? Absolutely impossible, so Ye Luo still opted for the Wolf Clan!

Once those thirty Wolf Clan members entered the tunnels, they had only one task, to ignite those detonation talismans!

And once their mission was complete, their chance of escape was virtually zero.

At this moment, even if enemies occasionally noticed unusual sounds coming from the ground, they wouldn’t think much of it. After all, under the bombardment of the Spirit Power Cannons, the entire ground was always shaking!

As the formation had recomposed and the Commerce Alliance’s army had started to recover from the chaos caused by the Spirit Power Cannon attack,

the Commerce Alliance generals were discussing strategies, preparing to launch a river-crossing attack, but just at this moment, a series of massive explosions suddenly echoed!

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Suddenly, huge explosions erupted throughout the entire army!

The explosions came from the ground, rendering any defense impossible, and the power was not small. Crucially, it was spread throughout the entire camp!

In an instant, the newly ordered army plunged into chaos once more!

Ye Lu’s lips slightly curled; for the Commerce Alliance encountering him, it was simply their bad luck. Ye Luo would use every means to ensure that Commerce Alliance members come but do not return!

This explosion, though it didn’t cause significant actual damage, successfully disrupted the enemy’s rhythm, allowing Ye Luo to set up the next line of defense.

Meanwhile, as the explosions erupted, twenty thousand soldiers stealthily infiltrated the frontline, approaching the riverbed.

Because there, Ye Luo had set up a line of defense!

Who would have thought, in front of those towers used to position Spirit Power Cannons, there was another hidden line of defense?

It should be known, those observation towers were the first to launch attacks, and at the riverbed’s edge, nothing unusual could be seen!

In fact, although the Commerce Alliance’s attacks were relentlessly aimed this way, they never paid attention to the riverbed’s edge.

A blind spot ignored!

Ye Luo perceived this point, and from the beginning of his setup, he actually took people’s habitual thinking into account.

Generally speaking, in this kind of positional warfare, once people detect no enemy ahead, they tend to overlook that area, especially since the enemy holds an absolute advantage!

Moreover, Ye Luo initiated the battle with a method of Spirit Power Cannon confrontation; thus giving Commerce Alliance generals a sense that along the riverbed, Ye Luo hadn’t placed forces at all.

They didn’t realize that actually, that was where Ye Luo’s heavy forces were positioned!

Of course, the riverbed attack wouldn’t just involve the riverbed’s edge fortifications, other auxiliary methods were included!

At this moment, as the enemy regrouped their forces, unable to endure any longer, in the eyes of the Commerce Alliance generals, without even having directly encountered the Southern Territory soldiers, they had already lost hundreds of thousands, which was simply disgraceful!

One must know, the enemy had only seventy thousand in total!

This huge loss ratio finally drove the Commerce Alliance generals to launch an all-out attack disregarding everything!

Without a doubt, trying to fly across was impossible; the aerial restriction was the most basic setup, how could Ye Luo not arrange it!

At this moment, the Commerce Alliance soldiers all opted to force their way across the river!

The great river? In the eyes of these soldiers, it was actually no different from flat land; they only needed to gather spiritual power under their feet to easily treat the riverbed as flat ground!

However, crossing the riverbed was naturally not so simple that it would allow the enemy to pass unchecked!

Why could the riverbed still be considered dangerous terrain? Because special formations set within the riverbed allowed for fortification!

At this moment, the enemy first deployed over a hundred thousand Demon Beasts to launch a full-scale charge!

A massive horde of beasts rushed toward Ye Luo’s side, to be honest, the momentum was indeed terrifying!

However, by now, no one on the Da Yue Empire’s side feared it anymore. Their consecutive wins made them believe in Ye Luo’s arrangements and that victory surely belonged to them!

This first wave of beasts, plainly put, was simply the enemy’s cannon fodder for scouting the way.

However, Ye Luo would not reveal his line of defense just because of this cannon fodder!

Nevertheless, Ye Luo believed these Demon Beasts wouldn’t be able to break through!
