Visibility is crucial for firearms combat. Unlike the forests in the north, this place is a subtropical primeval forest, where the trees cover the sun thoroughly. In areas not covered by trees, the shrubs and tendrils grow wildly, even taller than humans. Fighting in such a place is like the United States invading Vietnam back in the day, where every tree and vine seemed to speak Vietnamese.
Therefore, Cheng Ziang's plan was to draw these people out of the jungle and fight in open areas, thereby allowing the snipers in the advance team to demonstrate their power. The elf troops would lie in ambush in nearby jungle, employing a strategy of silence.
Taking into account that these people might not fall for the bait easily, the elf troops also arranged for some female elves to lure them. This task required those who could run fast, because hunters generally don't shoot at female elves; a hit could spoil their appeal.
