Chapter 917, Ambush

But it was impossible for any smart commander not to realize the importance of the logistical lifeline, and P5092 had fought with the Expeditionary Corps so many times that it was pretty sure that that general on the other side must be a smart man.

So, the 6th Combat Brigade had plundered the Expeditionary Corps’ logistical supplies, so why was the other side slow to move? This is quite counterintuitive.

P5092 said to Ren Xiaosu, “It’s very likely that the battle in the direction of Da Niu Mountain is too scorching, so much so that the Expeditionary Corps can’t spare their hands to besiege Da Niu Mountain right now, and all of their troops are being held back.”

“Then what should we do now, should we push into Da Niu Mountain to support it?” Ren Xiaosu said seriously, he also felt a hint of urgency.

However, he heard P5092 say, “Since their frontal battlefield is tight, we should create chaos in the rear, it has to be chaos that the Expeditionary Corps must pay attention to! We absolutely cannot go to the main battlefield of Da Niu Mountain at this time!”

Before this P5092 had said that the 6th Combat Brigade didn’t have many men at all, and rushing into the main battlefield was tantamount to sending them to their deaths for nothing.

Therefore, at this time they should continue their plan to interfere with the lifeline of the Expeditionary Corps, no matter what others do, they should ensure their own tempo instead of just guessing something and being influenced by others, this was the true meaning of the battlefield.

“In this case, you now take Iron Company 1 and make another trip to the Expeditionary Corps’ transportation line,” P5092 said, “This time, just hit their transportation units whenever you see them, hit as many as you can, and make sure to make the Expeditionary Corps feel the crisis from the rear.”

“Okay,” Ren Xiaosu said as he was about to leave the defense position with his men.

But at this time, P5092 thought of another possibility.

……

Ren Xiaosu led Iron Company 1 in a fire march towards the place where they had plundered the transportation unit last time, but this time the other side might not take this path, after all, there were two other optional paths.

P5092 explained that if they failed to squat the Expeditionary Corps’ transportation unit on that original road, then they would go to the other two roads to see if they could find something.

Iron Company soldiers, silently followed behind Ren Xiaosu did not say anything, Ren Xiaosu let them do what they do.

The company commander this time did not even ask Ren Xiaosu where to go, anyway, follow the walk on the line. ……

Ren Xiaosu glanced back at them, “There’s no need to cover our tracks along the way, we are attracting the expeditionary corps to Zuoyun Mountain, so we must leave a trail that they can find.”

The company commander weakly asked, “Major, then leave them alive this time, so that they can find it better ……”

Now Ren Xiaosu has become in the hearts of the soldiers, 178 fortress troops the first ruthless person, the barbarian troops met this one, want to leave some alive are difficult.

Between words, the team is about to walk out of Zuo Yun Mountain, but at this time Ren Xiaosu suddenly stopped in his tracks, the company commander behind him asked, “What’s wrong Major?”

“Wrong!” Ren Xiaosu suddenly yelled, “Retreat! There’s an enemy ambush outside the mountain!”

There happened to be a mountain in front of them that obscured the view, but before setting out Ren Xiaosu had released Lao Xu in order to scout the enemy.

Now, Ren Xiaosu could clearly see through Lao Xu that there was a force of thousands of barbarians lurking outside the mountain!

Between the flashes of lightning and fire, there were the coarse shouts of the barbarians coming from the left side.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly raised his head and saw that there was actually a barbarian on the left side of the hill who had been hiding there for a long time, and this was the one responsible for keeping a lookout.

Now this barbarian found that Ren Xiaosu and their intention to retreat, then immediately issued a warning to his companions to quickly raid, vowing to eat Ren Xiaosu and their more than a hundred troops alive.

The brute in charge of the sentry judged that although this human unit was still nearly a thousand meters away from the ambush point, but thought that with the speed of the Expeditionary Corps warriors, it would not be difficult for a unit of nearly a thousand to wipe out these hundred or so people.

The commander of Iron Company 1 shouted, “Major, what should we do?”

“Run!” Ren Xiaosu shouted, “Run back, as fast as you can!”

The next moment, the entirety of Iron Company 1 scattered and ran, prancing and jumping on the mountain road with great skill.

The expeditionary regiment behind them let out a wild roar, like wolves chasing a gazelle in the valley.

Ren Xiaosu pondered while running, so the Expeditionary Corps was not unable to care about the rear transportation line because of the scorching battle in the main battlefield, but rather, they guessed that there must be traps in this Zuoyun Mountain, so they did not want to go directly into the mountain to encircle it.

In the end, they chose to deliberately not come to the siege, inducing P5092 to misjudge the situation, and then quietly set up ambushes outside the mountain, wanting to catch the Northwest Army off guard.

Needless to say, this was already considered a psychological tactic, with both commanders engaging in a psychological game.

P5092 wanted to use the importance of the transportation line to force the expeditionary force to encircle Zuoyun Mountain, while the barbarians were using their concern for the main battlefield to lure them into their next move.

Ren Xiaosu lamented in his heart, these people who play tactics are all too dirty in their hearts ah, one more than the other.

He led Iron Company 1 to quickly run towards the defense position, and the Expeditionary Corps got closer and closer to them until there were only a few dozen meters left between them!

The Expeditionary Corps’ nearly 1,000 men chased through the mountains like a long, sinuous snake swimming rapidly.

However, right at this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly pulled out a remote control from his pocket and pressed one of the red buttons on the remote control.

With a loud bang, the long, sinuous snake was actually blown off from it, the barbarians of the Expeditionary Corps were confused for a moment, they didn’t expect to encounter such a turn of events!

Ren Xiaosu pressed the buttons down one after another, and then several sets of TNT were quickly detonated in the mountains, all the explosion points, were planted along the Expeditionary Corps’ traveling route!

Huge smoke filled the mountain, that pungent smell, stimulating everyone’s senses, deaths, injuries and wailing immediately filled the mountain field!

Nearly a thousand barbarian troops were left with only three hundred or so people after a few explosions, and the formation was split by the bombs.

The barbarians were caught off guard, as they weren’t sure if a new bomb would be detonated in the next second.

Ren Xiaosu had stopped in his tracks, and the soldiers of Iron Company 1 also raised their guns and turned back, ready to follow their own Major General in a counterattack.

At this moment Ren Xiaosu was very happy, not because of how many barbarians he had killed, but because this time P5092 had guessed the intentions of the Expeditionary Corps.

Although P5092 wasn’t sure if he had guessed right, but now having prepared an extra hand had caused these Expeditionary Corps that were preparing for an ambush to lose a lot of money.

Before he left, P5092 told Ren Xiaosu that there might be a barbarian ambush outside the mountain, and he told Ren Xiaosu to make sure to choose a good location to bury the TNT before he left the mountain, and if he really encountered the Expeditionary Corps, he would bring them back to step on the mines!

This matter allowed Ren Xiaosu to see P5092’s excellent command ability in the middle of the battlefield.

Worthy of being the person who personally led Daxing Northwest himself!
