Dapeng's Time Travel Life

The dawn light struggled to pierce through the thick clouds at the border, casting a warm glow on this war-torn land. Zhang Peng led his weary troops through the city gates, where the people and soldiers eagerly awaited their return. Upon seeing them, they gathered around, their eyes filled with concern and worry.

"General, you're finally back!" Li Ming strode forward, his expression tightening when he saw Zhang Peng and the others, their faces covered in dust and their clothes in tatters. "This operation..."

Zhang Peng raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to ask any more questions, and said in a deep voice, "Let the brothers rest first, and then we'll discuss matters in the camp."

Back in the tent, Zhang Peng sat in the main seat, his expression grave, the atmosphere inside so oppressive it was suffocating. He recounted the night raid in detail, and finally slammed his fist on the table: "The enemy's defenses were too tight; we failed at the last minute. But as long as the catapults remain, the border will never be at peace."

"General, what should we do next?" a general asked anxiously. "The enemy has definitely strengthened their defenses, making it even more difficult to launch a surprise attack."

Everyone fell silent, racking their brains for a way to break the deadlock. At this moment, the strategist Wang Yuan, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "General, I have a plan. The enemy's catapults are extremely powerful, and our chances of winning by brute force are slim, but we can find a way to make them lose their composure."

Zhang Peng's eyes lit up as he looked at Wang Yuan: "I'd like to hear the details."

Wang Yuan stood up, walked to the map, pointed to the location of the enemy camp, and said, "As far as I know, the enemy has joined forces with the surrounding countries. They seem to be a united front, but in reality, they each have their own agendas. Their food supplies come from different forces. We can send people infiltrate and disrupt their food supply lines to create chaos within their ranks."

After listening, everyone nodded in agreement, finding the plan feasible. Zhang Peng pondered for a moment and said, "This plan is ingenious, but infiltrating behind enemy lines is a difficult task. The slightest mistake could lead to the annihilation of the entire army. Who is willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Ming stepped forward: "General, let me go! I am quite familiar with the terrain around the enemy, and I will do my best to complete the mission."

Looking into Li Ming's determined eyes, Zhang Peng was deeply moved, but also hesitated: "This trip is too dangerous..."

Li Ming interrupted him: "General, I would gladly die for the peace of the border! Besides, we cannot sit idly by and wait to die; someone has to try."

After careful consideration, Zhang Peng finally nodded: "Alright, Li Ming, I order you to lead an elite squad to carry out this mission. Remember, safety first. If there is any danger, retreat immediately."

Li Ming accepted the order and quickly selected twenty agile and experienced soldiers to form a squad. Before their departure, Zhang Peng personally saw them off, once again reminding them, "Be careful in everything. I'll be waiting for your triumphant return."

Under the cover of night, Li Ming and his men once again infiltrated enemy territory. They cautiously approached the supply line along secluded paths, avoiding enemy patrols. Along the way, they overcame numerous difficulties, encountering severe weather and narrowly escaping discovery by the enemy, but through their unwavering will and exceptional adaptability, they repeatedly escaped danger.

Finally, they arrived at the enemy's only route for transporting supplies. Li Ming surveyed the terrain and found that it was a narrow valley with towering mountains on both sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack—an excellent location for an ambush.

"Brothers, let's make our move right here," Li Ming ordered in a low voice. "We'll first plant explosives on both sides of the valley. When the enemy's supply convoy enters the valley, we'll detonate the explosives to block the road, and then take the opportunity to burn the supplies."

The soldiers sprang into action, planting explosives and lying in ambush on both sides of the valley, awaiting the enemy's arrival. Time ticked by, and everyone's hearts pounded faster; a tense atmosphere permeated the valley.

Finally, the sound of wheels rolling came from afar; the enemy's supply convoy slowly entered the valley. Li Ming gripped the ignition device tightly, and once the entire convoy was inside, he shouted, "Light it!"

With a deafening roar, the explosives on both sides of the valley detonated simultaneously, sending boulders tumbling down and instantly blocking the road. The enemy soldiers panicked, jumping from their wagons in an attempt to mount a resistance. But Li Ming and his men had already secured advantageous positions, launching a fierce attack from their elevated position.

In an instant, the valley was filled with shouts of battle and flames soaring into the sky. Enemy soldiers scattered in the chaos, unable to mount any effective resistance. Li Ming led his soldiers, charging into the enemy ranks like tigers descending a mountain, throwing torches at the supply wagons. Soon, the supplies were ignited, and the raging fire engulfed the entire convoy.

Looking at the burning grain and fodder, Li Ming felt a surge of joy. "Brothers, mission accomplished, retreat!" he shouted, leading his soldiers in a swift withdrawal.

When Zhang Peng learned that Li Ming and his men had successfully destroyed the enemy's supply convoy, his joy was indescribable. He knew this was just the beginning, but this victory undoubtedly gave them a great boost and bought precious time for the defense of the border.
