The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth
Chapter 625 Traps and Ambushes in the Valley of Broken Souls
Black Scorpion's defensive deployment in the Valley of Broken Souls was extremely cunning and insidious, fully utilizing the terrain's advantages and combining it with his usual ruthless tactics. The Falcon Squad faced the risk of falling into a trap during this operation.
1. Natural and artificial defense deployment of the Valley of Broken Souls:
1. The outer security circle of "Ghost Gate":
Miasma Maze: The entrance to the Valley of Broken Souls and much of the valley are permeated year-round by natural miasma, which, upon inhalation, causes dizziness and weakness, significantly impacting visibility and combat effectiveness. Black Scorpion has also deployed several artificial "miasma enhancement points," burning specialized plants to create a more toxic and widespread smog.
Sentry and Traps: On the outskirts of the miasma zone, the Black Scorpions deployed several teams of experienced sentries. They were familiar with the terrain, wore camouflage uniforms that blended in with the environment, and were equipped with various weapons and signal flares. The sentries communicated with each other using specific frequency bird calls or animal roars. Various traps were scattered throughout the sentry area:
Bamboo stick array and trap: covered with camouflage, with poisoned bamboo sticks or sharpened wooden stakes inserted at the bottom.
Poison Arrow Trap: Uses vines or stretched bark as power, and shoots out crossbow arrows coated with poison when triggered.
Patrol team: A mobile patrol team consisting of 10-15 people, equipped with bows, crossbows and crossbow carts, patrols the security circle at irregular intervals. Once any abnormality is found, they will immediately block and sound the alarm.
2. Defense of the "One Line Sky" throat:
This is the only passage into the heart of the Valley of Broken Souls. On both sides are steep cliffs hundreds of meters high. The middle passage is only a few meters wide and about a hundred meters long.
Permanent firing points: At the entrance and middle section of the passage, 2-3 well-camouflaged catapults were built using natural rocks, equipped with catapults and heavy crossbow carts to form cross-fire and block the entire passage.
Rolling Stones and Logs: Above the cliff, a large number of boulders and bundled logs are piled up and fixed with ropes and simple mechanisms. Once an enemy enters the passage, the ropes can be cut and released to deal a devastating blow.
3. The back route and escape route of the "Death Valley"
Black Scorpion was suspicious by nature and would never push himself into a desperate situation. He secretly dug a narrow tunnel in the deepest part of the Valley of Broken Souls, leading to the inaccessible mountains and forests on the other side of the valley.
The tunnel entrance is disguised as an abandoned cave, guarded by a dedicated person and equipped with multiple safeguards, including explosives (which can blow up the tunnel if necessary) and a simple stone door.
2. The Black Scorpion's undiscovered back-up plan and conspiracy:
Black Scorpion is not just passively defending himself. He knows that he is trapped and will inevitably plan a sinister back-up plan and counterattack:
1. False intelligence and ambush:
Deliberately leaked "flaws": The Black Scorpions might leak incomplete or "obvious flaws" in the Valley of Broken Souls' defenses to the coalition forces through captured, defected low-ranking soldiers, or deliberately released "deserters." For example, they might hint at a weak point in the defenses, or a period of lax security.
Pre-arranged ambush rings: He likely anticipated that the Great Zhou female soldiers would dispatch elite squads (such as the Falcon Squad) for infiltration reconnaissance or surprise attacks. He would deliberately set up a heavily armed ambush ring at a vulnerable point. Once the Falcon Squad entered, he would exploit the terrain and pre-positioned firepower (such as catapults, heavy crossbow carts, and mortars) to encircle and annihilate them. He might even hope to "encircle and attack the reinforcements," luring the main force of the Great Zhou female soldiers into unfavorable terrain.
2. The "burn everything together" destruction plan:
Using poisonous gases created from miasma, as well as traps and ambushes, the Black Scorpion prepared ancient traps: Extremely cruel, he collected the miasma within the valley and coated it with poison in hidden weapons and traps crafted by poison masters. At the last moment, he might unleash it within the valley, perishing along with the attacking female soldiers, or contaminate the entire area to prevent the Great Zhou female soldiers from pursuing him.
Self-destruct device: He may have buried a large number of mechanisms and sulfur saltpeter in the core camp and tunnel entrances, planning to detonate them during evacuation or siege to destroy the tunnels and hinder the actions of the female soldiers of the Great Zhou.
3. "Borrowing a knife to kill" or "escaping from the shell" conspiracy:
Put the blame on others: He may leave some forged evidence in the camp, suggesting that he is connected with a force hostile to the female soldiers of the Great Zhou (or even a traitor within the government and the army), trying to create chaos and suspicion within the Great Zhou army.
Escape by body double and disguise: Black Scorpion may have prepared a body double, wearing his clothes and staying in the core tent to attract the attention of the main force of the Great Zhou female soldiers. He himself may have changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier and blended in with a small group of breakout teams, or escaped through a secret tunnel, taking advantage of the chaos (such as when detonating a self-destruct device or releasing poison gas) to escape.
Collusion with outside forces, a pincer attack from both inside and outside: This is the most dangerous strategy. Does the Black Scorpion have connections with other gangs outside the Black Wind Mountains, or even with neighboring countries? Was his escape to the Broken Soul Valley itself a decoy, intended to lure in the elite Great Zhou female soldiers, and then coordinate with external forces to launch a larger-scale ambush or raid? For example, could external forces raid the Great Zhou female soldiers' rear base, or cut off their supply lines, creating a pincer attack on the remaining Black Scorpion forces in the valley?
3. Will the Falcon Team’s action this time play into their hands?
1. Mentality changes brought about by resurrection: After the Falcon Squad members are resurrected, although their strength and determination are greatly increased, they may also develop a mentality of "fate is destiny" and "fearlessness", and may even be eager for revenge, thus lowering their vigilance to a certain extent and making them more easily tempted by the "flaws" deliberately revealed by the Black Scorpion.
2. Dependence on the efficacy of the "Resurrection Pill": Team members feel a significant increase in strength and perception, and may unconsciously overestimate their own strength and underestimate the danger of the mission and the cunning of the enemy.
3. Intelligence limitations: Even with satellite reconnaissance and informant intelligence, intelligence in a complex area like the Valley of Broken Souls, where the Black Scorpions have long operated, is bound to have blind spots and lags. It is extremely difficult to fully grasp the Black Scorpions' core backup plans and latest deployments.
4. Black Scorpion's Targeted Strategy: If Black Scorpion learns (or guesses) that an elite unit like the Falcon Squad is carrying out the mission, he will likely devise a more targeted trap. Knowing the special operations team's tactical characteristics (infiltration, surprise attacks), he will counter these tactics, setting traps specifically designed to counteract them.
The Black Scorpion's defenses in the Valley of Broken Souls are multi-dimensional, multi-layered, and filled with deadly traps. He is far from sitting still and waiting for death. He must be hiding schemes such as false intelligence to lure the enemy, ambushes in core areas, and plans of total destruction, perhaps even involving external collusion.
If the Falcon Team had acted solely out of passion and revenge, without conducting more thorough reconnaissance, maintaining a high level of vigilance, and making plans to deal with various emergencies (especially black swan events), they would have been very likely to have fallen into the trap carefully laid by the Black Scorpion and played right into its hands.
This will be a test even more severe for Lin Wei and the Falcon Squad than their previous siege of Black Wind City. Not only will they face a hail of enemy fire, but they must also decipher their numerous schemes. A single misstep could spell doom. Whether their "resurrection" is a blessing from fate, or the beginning of a new abyss, depends on their every decision and action. Murong Ningyan's decision to allow them to acclimate to their strength and prepare thoroughly was a wise one.
