Chapter 900, P5092’s Heart of the Matter

Dragging the barbarian forces down by a few thousand troops was certainly fierce, however Ren Xiaosu himself knew his own situation, the Bomb 10 of Explosive Poker wasn’t that easy to draw, he had spent hundreds of Thank You Coins but only managed to put together this set of Bomb 10s, and the higher Bomb Js had only seen one up to now.

So if you really want to see the King Bomb, I’m afraid you’ll have to draw tens of thousands of Thank You Coins together.

But Ren Xiaosu had great expectations for the third unlockable weapon, he now had more than 5,000 Thank You Coins, there was no reason for him to draw all of them for Explosive Poker.

Unless he encountered a huge crisis, he would temporarily use the Burst Poker to save his life.

Moreover, now that the ear-pulling spoon given by the palace was lost, Ren Xiaosu asked the palace, “Can I still use the ear-pulling skill if I lost this ear-pulling spoon?”

Palace replied, “Yes, but the figurative ear-pulling spoon goes on cooldown.”

“How long is the cooldown time?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Seven days.”

“Alright, it looks like it’s better to try not to go head-to-head with the barbarian for seven days,” Ren Xiaosu lamented.

He was now suffering from internal injuries again, and if it wasn’t for the sake of hiding another hand of Lao Xu waiting for an opportunity in the forest, he would have hated to just let Lao Xu run on his back.

Therefore, Ren Xiaosu was no longer suitable for high-intensity battles, and his frontal combat ability was still not as strong as Li Shentan’s. If Li Shentan had been here, he would have been able to fight on his own.

If Li Shentan was here, the other party could now completely hypnotize a barbarian’s main force, and then use the other party’s own troops to fight a war of attrition until the only person left alive in the end was Li Shentan.

Unfortunately, Li Shentan is now waiting for the typhoon in the south, right? I don’t know what kind of mindset it is to wait for the typhoon specifically, counting the time, the typhoon is estimated to arrive at the south coast only in July or August, and I’m afraid it’s very difficult to see Li Shentan before then.

It is difficult to speculate on the thoughts of a madman.

Many consortiums used to be glad that this guy is fortunately a madman and is not willing to get involved in any political struggles, the world, or else many consortiums would have to suffer.

This is the Devil’s Whisperer’s jianghu status ah ……

Someone who was able to make even the consortia fear him.

At this moment, whether it was Ren Xiaosu, Yang Xiaoguan, or the 7th division that was traveling with them, they were all about to arrive in front of the defense line constructed by the 3rd division.

From afar, Ren Xiaosu could already see that P5092 was directing the defense line to make way for the 7th Division, while the 1st and 4th Divisions continued to withdraw after a short rest, and this retreat would not end until everyone returned to the south of the Great Wall.

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan leapt in behind the Third Division’s makeshift sandbag defense line, and he asked, “I’ve brought the Seventh Division back for you, and counting your Third Division, that’s four units retreating back south of the Great Wall.”

Earlier, P5092 had said that as long as there were four main units withdrawn, then there was still a chance of victory for Firestarter in this battle.

As a result, P5092 laughed and shook his head, “It’s three, the third division is going to be behind here, covering the retreat of the other units.”

“You’re going to die?” Ren Xiaosu frowned, saying that this person how to talk is not a word, not all said to say to the northwest of the great prosperity, how to have to die here?

Said, Ren Xiaosu are ready to P5092 knocked out and carried away, the things that should be done have been done, but also stay here why.

Calculating the time, the troops led by Zhang Xiaoman should have already reached the vicinity of Wang’s defense line, right, he should go to meet up with his brothers.

Just P5092 explained, “It’s not that I’m going to send myself to my death, but my third division is an artillery unit, and this time when we intercept the rear of the temple, we’re bound to use up all the ammunition, and the artillery can’t be dragged away in the evacuation, so that would delay the time. So the future 3rd Division will be doing engineering type work in the rear after it loses its artillery.”

“You should have said so earlier,” Ren Xiaosu understood at once, the other party only meant that the third division’s combat power had declined, and after losing the artillery sequence it would be useless: “But I have limited ability, I can’t go to save the fifth division, I’m sorry.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about,” P5092 shook his head, “The entire Firestarter should remember you for this favor, without you, the 7th Division would really be impossible to fight if it was left behind.”

“Alright, I’ll rest for a while,” Ren Xiaosu leaned against a tree wearily and gasped for breath, after a night of fighting, running, and then running away, the problems of internal injuries and physical exhaustion all came up in one stream.

After a short conversation between the 7th Division Commander and P5092, he also withdrew to the south, and after another twenty minutes or so, Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked P5092, “What is your preset blocking range?”

“4500 meters, but we have to wait for the barbarians to get closer before we open fire,” P5092 said, “We can’t send out scouts now, and the woods are too dense, so the visible distance is only about 700 meters, so it would be a bit dangerous to open fire then.”

“What distance do you want to wait for the barbarians to enter to open fire?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“It’s best to enter the 2000 meter range,” P5092 explained.

Ren Xiaosu thought about it and he said after another 2 minutes of silence, “You may order to fire.”

P5092 froze for a moment, but didn’t question Ren Xiaosu’s statement in the slightest, instead he decisively ordered all artillery units to attack in unison.

There was no level of attack, it was to cover the front with all the firepower in the first place, making the expeditionary corps think that there was an ambush of fire here before the third division could withdraw.

While the Expeditionary Corps was hesitating whether to attack or not, the 3rd Division was already back within the cover of the walls.

The only problem was that everyone hadn’t even seen the barbarians yet, and Ren Xiaosu let the attack happen, would anything go wrong?

If the senior generals of other units were here, they would definitely trust their eyes more.

But the third division was different, the intelligence Ren Xiaosu gave them had never been wrong, so even if they couldn’t see anything, they all strictly carried out the order!

In the middle of the woods, a cannon roared, and the entire forest was filled with smoke that choked and stung the nose.

The sound of that artillery was extremely invigorating, especially the moment a round was fired in unison, the power that erupted from the muzzle of that artillery seemed like it could tear apart the heavens.

Ren Xiaosu silently waited, after six rounds of flanking fire, P5092 decisively ordered a retreat, and those cannons stayed in the forest, they had already completed their last mission.

It wasn’t that P5092 didn’t want to take them away, but that they couldn’t be taken away, from the time he moved the artillery unit out of the city, he had already thought of this outcome.

Taking advantage of the fact that the barbarians didn’t dare to continue their advance, the 3rd division retreated at full speed, and on the way Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked: ”What is the battle plan after returning to the Great Wall? Is there anything else I can do to help you guys?”

P5092 froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, “I don’t know, there’s no battle plan, wait for headquarters to inform you.”

Ren Xiaosu looked at the other party’s pretense of a relaxed countenance and always felt as if the other party had something on his mind.
