Facing the strong advance of the Qin army, the warriors of Lingnan naturally had to flee.
However, as they prepared to flee, they found that things were far from as simple as they had imagined.
Because this place was their tribe, and within this tribe were their families and their wealth.
These were things accumulated over a lifetime, or even over several generations of their ancestors.
How could they easily abandon such wealth?
Moreover, among their families were the elderly and the children.
They were strong and healthy, capable of fleeing, but their elders and young ones were not so robust.
If they were to truly flee, these people might not be able to make it.
Because of this, the warriors of Lingnan abandoned the idea of fleeing before they even began.
"No, we cannot run. Our families cannot run!!"
"Damn it, they are unburdened and can run if they wish, but we are different. Our families are here, our wealth is here, we cannot run!!"
"That's right! We cannot run. We must stay here and protect what we ought to protect!!"
If they could run, they would not have minded doing so.
But now, they had directly abandoned the thought of escape.
And precisely because they had abandoned the thought of escape, many of their gazes fell upon the Qin army.
"No, we must still fight the Qin army. Only then can we protect our families!!"
"Right! Fight the Qin army. Only by defeating the Qin army can we truly survive!!"
"Gather the army, we must reassemble our forces and fight the Qin army again!!"
With their families unable to escape with them, they could only rise up in resistance.
However, resistance now was clearly much harder than before.
The Qin soldiers had now deployed their bombs, the power of which filled the people of Lingnan with fear.
Under such circumstances, it would be incredibly difficult for them to defeat the Qin army.
Therefore, when they reassembled their army, their entire force watched the Qin army from afar, filled with apprehension.
"Leader, do we still have to fight the Qin army??"
"Nonsense, we have nowhere to run. Of course, we must fight the Qin army! However, we need to think carefully about how to defeat them!!"
"Yes! The Qin's weapons are too terrifying. If we don't have a suitable countermeasure, we will suffer greatly!!"
If the Qin army had no bombs, the people of Lingnan would undoubtedly have fought to the death, charging headlong into battle.
Even knowing that the Qin army was very powerful, they would still have done so.
But now, the Qin army possessed bombs that could easily blow them to smithereens.
At this point, if they advanced, it would be a sure path to death.
Therefore, they all looked at the Qin bombs, their faces etched with silence.
It was only after more than ten breaths that their leader finally spoke.
"There is a way to deal with this terrifying weapon!!"
"Leader, what method have you thought of??"
"Penetrate their army and destroy their terrifying weapons, and simultaneously, destroy their projectile weapons!!"
"Penetrate their army? This... Do we have to use the old method again, to penetrate their army? That won't work anymore!!"
Previously, their men had hidden in the ravines, and it must be said, they had succeeded once with this method.
However, although their forces entered the Qin army, they achieved nothing.
As soon as they entered the Qin army, they vanished as if thrown into a vast ocean, completely submerged.
Moreover, they had also alerted the Qin army.
Under such circumstances, trying to use the old method would clearly not work.
Therefore, upon hearing their leader's words, they were all in a dilemma.
They agreed with their leader's proposal to break into the enemy's ranks, but they could not come up with a suitable method for how to do so.
In the end, they looked at their leader, hoping he could provide them with an answer.
And their leader possessed a wildly imaginative mind.
"The previous method will naturally not work. Our soldiers cannot enter the Qin army anymore!!"
"However, we can still use other methods to enter the Qin army!!"
"Other methods? What other methods? Do you mean climbing trees??"
If the ground was impossible, then one had to use the sky.
And their specialty was climbing trees. If they could cross by climbing trees, it was not impossible.
However, their leader did not have such an idea in mind.
Given the destructive power of the Qin bombs, the trees themselves would be leveled.
Under such circumstances, if they climbed trees, it would be a path to certain death.
Therefore, their leader was thinking of another method: direct projection.
As long as their men were projected into the Qin army, they could surely catch the Qin army off guard.
However, this method carried certain risks.
Firstly, the projection force needed to be strong, otherwise, they might not reach the Qin army, or worse, they might fall within the range of the Qin's terrifying weapons.
Secondly, their men would need to land steadily.
Only then could they ensure they still had the ability to fight after landing, rather than simply falling to their deaths.
When their leader proposed this method, many were stunned.
To many, such an operation was no different from a fantasy.
Yet, their leader insisted on carrying out this fantastical, wild idea, which left them bewildered.
But after their leader explained the stakes involved, many fell silent.
Especially after they witnessed the Qin's terrifying weapons, they understood that this seemingly fantastical and absurd method was their only option.
Only through such means could they penetrate the Qin army and destroy the Qin's terrifying weapons.
Only then could they seize an opportunity to counterattack the Qin.
After this point was made, the warriors of Lingnan pondered for a long time, and only when the bombs truly landed within their tribe did they make their decision.
"Alright, then we will use the method of projection to infiltrate the Qin army!!"
"However, this time, how many men do we need to send??"
How many men were sent also meant how many lives were to be sacrificed.
After all, the Qin army was not an easy force to penetrate.
Therefore, many gazes were fixed on their leader.
