Chapter 972, Getting News

That powerful general of the Expeditionary Corps died, and it was estimated that that general himself had never thought that his death would be so hasty.

Thousands of barbarians with huge axes rushed out from the Expeditionary Corps camp, wanting to avenge their general.

At first, they only got the order to assemble and heard that it was an enemy attack, then everyone heard again that the general was killed by the enemy.

Those barbarian warriors in the camp who weren’t clear on what was going on just assumed that it was Wang’s main force coming after them, and all of them were ready to die with their general.

Ready to sacrifice their lives for the glory of the Expeditionary Corps.

But when they rushed out, they could only see the tail of the steam train ……

The barbarians froze for a moment, these people came over so vociferously just to take a shot and run? Everyone’s emotions are a bit incoherent ah!

“Chase or not?”

“Chase, to avenge the general!”

P5092 looked at the farther and farther away Expeditionary Corps, and in his heart, he felt a little bit emotional that this way of combat was just too rogue, completely taking advantage of the powerful maneuverability and running away.

If the steam train traveled at 120 kilometers per hour, even if they were as powerful as barbarians, they wouldn’t be able to catch up with this kind of transportation ah, even if someone’s burst of speed could be comparable to the steam train, how many of them would be able to hold on to a full sprint for more than ten minutes? Just one minute of sprinting would put a huge strain on the heart and lungs.

However, Ren Xiaosu did not drive the steam train too fast, always maintaining a certain distance from those barbarians chasing out, and even slowly slowing down.

Zhang Xiaoman on the side asked, “Why are you slowing down, is your spiritual power overdrawn?”

Ren Xiaosu shook his head, “No, the deceleration is to make the barbarians feel that they can catch up with the steam train if they put in more effort, so that they can slowly fish for them.”

P5092 looked at Ren Xiaosu’s side face, he suddenly realized that this Major Commander’s heart was also dirty ah, this was a clear indication that he wanted to tire out these barbarians who were chasing out for revenge.

Once the other party’s stamina was exhausted, Ren Xiaosu would definitely still turn around and go back to harvest the battlefield.

“But we don’t have any ammo left,” P5092 said, “Even if they get tired of running, we may not be able to kill many of them when we go back. Of course, dragging them down physically will be beneficial to the troops coming after us from Wang’s side.”

As soon as the words fell, P5092 saw Ren Xiaosu pull out dozens of boxes of grenades from nowhere.

Ren Xiaosu said calmly, “This is also the last of my inventory.”

Just as Ren Xiaosu led the Sixth Combat Brigade in a guerrilla war, Wang’s forces on the front line of Da Niu Mountain had finally triumphed.

Wang’s main force had been fighting hard in the frontal battlefield, and now the time had finally come for them to counterattack.

Only to see Wang Clan’s main force advancing northward from three separate roads, biting into the defeated remnants of the expedition all the way to the north, not only were they going to kill these barbarians, but they were going to continue to pursue northward, and bite the previous retreating and leaving expeditionary corps alive as well.

On the way of the pursuit, the main force that had been advancing from the western front had already killed all the barbarians that had routed out of Da Niu Mountain, and as a result, after continuing to chase them north for more than ten kilometers, Wang’s troops saw a steam train crossing the road they were advancing on, while thousands of soldiers from the 6th Combat Brigade leaned against the wagons outside of the steam train and chatted.

There was a relaxed look, and there were even people playing cards!

These men’s uniforms were tattered and their faces were dirty, but they looked relaxed.

In the tense atmosphere of the battlefield, these soldiers seemed to be a bit out of place in the world ……

This scene blindsided Wang’s main force, and the chief officer in charge of this combat sequence brought his soldiers closer over as Ren Xiaosu greeted them.

Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, “The troops that the Expeditionary Corps had evacuated earlier are twenty kilometers to the north, you guys should be able to catch up soon if you put in more effort, there were originally supposed to be more than 30,000 of them, but we’ve hooked them up again and killed a bit more.”

The chief officer of Wang’s main force shook Ren Xiaosu’s hand, “Thank you for the Northwest Army for coming to our aid, if it wasn’t for you guys holding back half of the enemy’s force at Zuoyun Mountain, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to hold out, we were all ready to retreat to the south before this.”

“You’re welcome, it’s all due,” Ren Xiaosu said, “If you really want to thank us, lower the tariffs of our goods in the Northwest a bit, after this matter, someone will come to talk to Wang specifically, thank you, you have to put it into practice… …”

Opposite Wang’s officer’s expression twitched for a moment, this time should not be to make some righteous speech, such as for the sake of the national righteousness, for the sake of the walled alliance unity and so on, how to suddenly mention tariffs so practical things.

And a side of the big lulu to Ren Xiaosu cast a look of admiration, he felt that the marshal is really into the role, can in this kind of should show the heroism of the occasion, directly open the mouth to mention tariffs, most people really can’t open this mouth ……

Ren Xiaosu said, “Alright, then we won’t delay you guys from continuing the pursuit.”

“Do you all want to go to the Da Niu Mountain Resident first, we can also treat you all on our side,” said the chief officer of Wang’s troops.

“No need, what’s the point of wasting that time, everyone is in a hurry to go back and reunite with their families,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Go and get busy, we’re heading back to the northwestern part of the country.”

The main officer of Wang’s troop shook Ren Xiaosu’s hand once again, “Alright, we also have a pursuit mission, so let’s say goodbye.”

With that said, the chief of staff and combat staff beside this main officer also walked up and shook hands with the main figures of the Northwest Army to say goodbye.

As a result, Ren Xiaosu suddenly froze when he shook hands with the last person.

A few moments later, Wang’s troops once again pushed northward, only for them to see the scene of barbarians’ corpses strewn across the ground just a short distance away.

Wang’s officers looked at each other, what did the Northwest Army just say? Hooked out to kill a little bit again? Is this a little bit?

All of Wang’s troops looked back at the rear, the steam train had long since disappeared.

At this time, the steam train traveled westward for a few moments before suddenly stopping.

P5092 and the others came to the front of the train and asked, “What’s wrong Major, why did it stop.”

Only he suddenly saw that Ren Xiaosu was holding a small note in a daze.

Ren Xiaosu turned her head to look at P5092: “Remember how we met?”

P5092 smiled, “You asked me for Hope Media’s newspaper to read, and every morning you came especially on time, not long after I got the newspaper, you came.”

“Well,” Ren Xiaosu nodded, “I like to read Hope Media’s newspaper, I don’t have any intelligence channels, so Hope Media’s newspaper is my way of learning about the world, and besides, I know that every word in that newspaper, is true.”

P5092 also froze on the spot, he didn’t know why Ren Xiaosu suddenly said this.
