When Lin Wen was digging the mountain, due to the embarrassing limit of his primordial spirit, there would always be 19% of the primordial spirit left after using a spell.

And a minimum meditation would directly replenish the primordial spirit.

In order to avoid wasting it, Lin Wen could only use various spells to consume this 19% of the primordial spirit.

Due to the frequent meditations, by the end, all the available spells had been used, and all the storable spells had been updated.

When Lin Wen had no spells left, he simply used "Ask the Heavens" or "Guidance from Immortals" to ask questions.

With 19% of the primordial spirit, he could ask up to 38% of the questions.

He couldn't ask big questions, only small ones.

After asking around, Lin Wen asked all sorts of trivial things, gaining a lot of information that wasn't very useful, but there were also some valuable pieces of information.

For example: "Will Changshan County be attacked?"

When Lin Wen saw the answer was "Yes," his eyes lit up.

After that, Lin Wen successfully split all the questions about the attackers, using hundreds of points of primordial spirit to ask for all the information about the attackers.

So, when Commander Cheng Dehan entered his encirclement, Lin Wen not only knew their patrol route, firepower configuration, alert range, even the scanning pattern of their satellite, the behavior pattern of their crawling listener, and even the color of Commander Cheng Dehan's underwear, he knew it all.

The encirclement set up by Lin Wen allowed the soldiers to perfectly avoid all their alerts. When they reached the best attack point, the artillery had already been adjusted and was ready to fire.

The 110mm caliber giant cannon roared, and the huge specially made shells crossed the distant distance and landed in the enemy's position.

Right on target!

Fang Dashan had previously captured more than a hundred artillery pieces, and brought out thirty.

By the end of the first round of shelling, the enemy had already lost a quarter of their forces, and this was still thanks to them maintaining their battle formation. If they were more concentrated, they would have been wiped out.

Cheng Dehan was an experienced old commander after all, and immediately ordered concealment, dispersion, and finding cover, and counterattacking.

However, they couldn't see the enemy anywhere, only shells coming one after another.

Lin Wen used the "Thousand-Mile Eye" to take in the entire battlefield, every move of the enemy, he could see it all clearly.

The "Thousand-Mile Eye" was not limited by narrow field of view like a telescope, and was not affected by smoke and dust. Lin Wen's field of view was very broad, just like standing on their faces, he could see every hair clearly, and even change the direction and angle.

This spell was a continuous spell that could be interrupted, and Lin Wen had just updated it, with a full 16 hours of usage time.

At the same time, Lin Wen also activated the "Heavenly Ear Technique," placing the listening point of the spell directly at the mouth of the commander.

This way, anything the commander said would be directly transmitted to his ears.

Finally, Lin Wen also activated the "Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission," transmitting the battlefield information he saw and heard to the ears of every soldier.

Especially the concealed positions of the enemy, adjustments to the artillery, and other important information.

As a result, Cheng Dehan found that no matter how they concealed themselves or maneuvered, they were just passively being bombed.

And they didn't even know where the enemy was.

He continuously called for satellites and crawling listeners, trying to obtain battlefield information to change the one-sided situation.

But Lin Wen had specifically targeted these reconnaissance methods.

The biggest problem with satellite reconnaissance was low accuracy and low resolution for concealed environments.

Lin Wen had all the soldiers put on a layer of tan camouflage, blending in with the desert environment, even if they were people, they had to be right in front of you to be distinguished.

The satellite's resolution couldn't see them at all.

As for the crawling listener, it was a special kind of creature, resembling a lizard, very small in size, and after modification, very sensitive to vibrations, smells, and sounds, able to detect anomalies within a five-kilometer radius, quickly crawling nearby and alerting through implanted electronic devices.

The advantage of the crawling listener was that it was very small and not easily noticeable, able to alert without the enemy knowing, gaining the upper hand.

The downside was that it was very afraid of the smell of formaldehyde and tobacco-type fragrances, and once inhaled, it would quickly fall into a coma.

Before leaving the county, Lin Wen specifically brought dozens of bottles of such fragrances, one for every three thousand soldiers, and hadn't even used half of them before they were overwhelmed by the smell.

People couldn't stand it, and the crawling listeners, being attacked at their weak point, just dropped dead.

Cheng Dehan called for a long time, but didn't get any response, the giant soldiers aimlessly counterattacked to no effect, only passively being bombed.

Cheng Dehan knew something was wrong, and calmly observed the surroundings. To the east was a plain, to the northwest were two high mountains, and to the south was a canyon.

According to reason, the breakout direction would definitely be to the east, but the enemy had ambushed them so cunningly, they must have calculated this.At this point, we should use reverse thinking to break through in the least likely direction.

The enemy's defense there must be very weak.

"Third and fourth teams, provide covering fire. Everyone else, attack to the south!"

He issued the order to the troops.

As long as they broke through the encirclement, dispersed the troops, and found the enemy's position, they would be invincible.

"Idiot."

Lin Wen thought to himself. He used the 【Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission】 to directly communicate with the twelve team leaders near the south and southwest, instructing them to set up machine guns on the side of the canyon and wait for the enemy's breakout.

Moments later, the enemy's firepower suddenly intensified, with rockets and mortars fiercely bombarding the canyon from above, and the roar of machine guns echoing through the sky.

The giant soldiers, lying in various cover positions, leaped up and charged into the canyon at a speed beyond ordinary people's reach.

Cheng Dehan watched the battle, and the giant soldiers were not attacked until they rushed into the canyon. He clenched his fist: "Good! This is indeed their weak point. To be born from death is truly a wise saying! As long as they get out, they are doomed when they turn back!"

Ratatatat!

Dozens of fire tongues over a meter long spewed out from behind the canyon, with a 30mm caliber machine gun that could penetrate even steel plates. Although the defense of the giant soldiers far exceeded that of ordinary people, it was far from enough to defend against this level of firepower.

Their specially made 600mm, 300kg ceramic composite steel plate bulletproof vests had no effect at all, and the narrow terrain restricted the giant's mobility and agility, turning these expensive biological weapons into a one-sided slaughter.

30 seconds later, the giant soldiers, costing over 600 million and valued at 3 billion, were all written off.

How could this happen?

Cheng Dehan's eyes, mouth, and nose were no longer on the same level.

Why did this happen?

Cheng Dehan felt that his proud intelligence had exploded. He stood up and roared, "Everyone, break through to the east!"

Ten minutes later, this army of giants, costing 1.2 billion and valued at 6 billion, was completely wiped out.

And Lin Wen's troops had only over 100 wounded, and they were all injured while operating those specially made weapons not intended for human use.

In other words, the enemy's chaotic shooting caused zero injuries.

"What a waste."

Lin Wen thought.

"The 【Immortal's Guidance】 is really unreliable. It actually praised the combat effectiveness of this army and the commander's cunning, at least 2,000 regular troops are needed to fight against them."

"In the end, the entire army, like headless flies, crazily fired at the air, and the commander forcibly charged into the canyon, simply no different from an idiot."

"If I had known, I would have asked more about something else. I wasted so many opportunities to ask questions for this garbage army."

He ordered the battlefield to be cleared. Although their combat effectiveness was poor, the enemy's weapons were really useful, and Changshan County happened to lack this kind of heavy military firepower.

Fang Dashan's face was red with excitement. He had never fought such a satisfying annihilation battle before, and it felt so good that every move of the enemy was within the plan.

At the moment Lin Wen announced the clearance of the battlefield, he jumped up and shouted, "We won!"

"We won! Long live Sheriff Lin!"

Soldiers from all directions instantly jumped out, and cheers echoed through the valley.

"We won!"

"We won!"

"Sheriff Lin, long live!"

"Yeah! Yeah!"

Fang Dashan immediately grabbed Lin Wen, who was about to leave, and poured out a bucket of flattery like a torrent, unceasing and endless like the waters of the Tianjiang River.

To avoid contaminating his Dao heart, Lin Wen immediately stopped his wild boasting and flattery, and criticized, "Fang Dashan, this is the credit of all the soldiers, not just me."

"Without you, I wouldn't have any offensive spells... Anyway, it's not right. Don't praise anyone like that. The army is a collective, not to be credited to one person."

"Also, your training is very poor. The most elite soldiers don't even know how to use weapons. There are so many people injured because of improper use of weapons."

Fang Dashan said with grievance, "Sheriff Lin! These weapons are not conventional weapons. They designed weapons that were supposed to be mounted on combat vehicles for human use. Although they are well-made and powerful, they have caused us a lot of trouble!"

"Difficulties are to be overcome! Even if there are no difficulties, we must create difficulties to overcome! Don't make excuses, go clean up the battlefield quickly, and remember to recruit more people in the future. The military of Changshan County must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Fang Dashan was about to turn around to check the results of the battle, but suddenly remembered that he had a basket full of questions that he hadn't asked, and hurriedly shouted, "Sheriff Lin, Sheriff Lin, what is this device that can communicate without both parties having it? It's so useful. I want to apply for a hundred of them first."Lin Wen had already run quite a distance and couldn't be bothered with idle chatter. He used a spell to send his words back: "This is the empire's latest cutting-edge technology, the Quantum Fluctuation Communicator. I'm the only one who has one, so stop dreaming."

Fang Dashan wanted to say more, but Lin Wen had already mounted a motorcycle and sped away, leaving nothing but dust in his wake.

He still had many things to do.
