In the command center, P5092 quietly watched the images and sounds being transmitted back in real time on the screen. He asked his deputy commander, "You've also been watching the images transmitted back from the cameras. Have you discovered any barbarians?"
The deputy commander shook his head. "No, but I don't know how that kid did it. Back when we were conducting a carpet search in Mt. Dashi, I also fought against the barbarians, and it was very strenuous. But why do I feel like those barbarians are suddenly being hung up and beaten up by that kid? "
"Do you feel a sense of familiarity?" P5092 asked.
This feeling was just like when they were in Mt. Dashi back then. The Pyro Company's main forces were conducting a carpet search, but the barbarians would always hide in all kinds of terrain like cheetahs on the hunt.
But after Ren Xiaosu appeared, the hunting cheetahs suddenly became the prey. It was as though the real hunter had arrived.
No matter how Ren Xiaosu did it, he was always one step ahead of the barbarians.
At this moment, several barbarians were sitting at the entrance of a tent in the depths of the forest. The tent was made of animal hides and looked extremely rugged.
Suddenly, a barbarian emerged from the forest and said to him, "Commander Valentin, we've detected enemy activity on the right flank of our division."
The barbarian named Valentin glanced at him. "How many of them?"
"We haven't confirmed their numbers yet. The enemy encountered our ambush line and a huge explosion erupted. However, they did not come into direct contact with our main forces," the barbarian who came to report said.
Valentin looked at the fire pit in front of him that was made of stones. The flames inside were constantly flickering. He said, "Those Central Plains troops are deliberately trying to mystify us. Right now, the Pyro Company's main forces are constantly wandering around the edge of our attack range. The enemy that appeared on the right flank is probably bait. They're trying to lure us into splitting up so that they can snatch the corpses of their Central Plains comrades."
In Valentin's opinion, the enemy probably could not stand the sight of their compatriots' corpses being hung on wooden stakes this time, so they came to snatch the corpses.
The Pyro Company had attacked several times in an attempt to quickly approach the corpses.
However, the Barbarian was not stupid. He said to his subordinate beside him, "It's better to send an elite team to check out the situation on the right flank. If the enemy doesn't have many people, just take down this bait. If the enemy has many people, then send a main force to encircle them. The wilderness is our home field!"
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu and the recon company were lying prone in the forest and shrubs on a small hillside. The terrain here was flat, and even the hillside was not very high.
Other than Ren Xiaosu, the others were all wearing camouflage combat uniforms. Their faces were also painted with black and green paint. When they lay motionless on the ground, it would be difficult for the enemy to notice them from afar.
T 40219 was puzzled. "Sir, this forest has already been occupied by the barbarians. It's not a good idea to ambush them in their occupied territory, right? Something bad will happen. "
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. "This is the ambush spot I carefully selected. No one said that only the barbarians can ambush us in this battle, but we're not allowed to ambush them. So what if it's their occupied territory? We have to attack them in their occupied territory. In a battle, we have to catch them off guard to gain the upper hand. "
T 40219 hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "But we're facing the wrong direction. The barbarians' main force is behind us."
The recon company had entered the battlefield from the west of the forest, while the main force had exchanged fire with the barbarians in the east. That was where the barbarians' defensive line was.
So logically speaking, even if the barbarians sent more people, they should be coming from the east. However, Ren Xiaosu insisted on facing west and keeping watch.
Ren Xiaosu could not be bothered to explain. "Just wait and see."
The reason why he chose to face in the opposite direction was entirely based on his judgment of the terrain. He had led the recon company around the forest for a long time before deciding to set up an ambush here.
There were factors such as the direction of the wind and the terrain, but more importantly, it was still based on the judgment of a hunter.
Felines liked to sneak up on people from behind, and so did hunters.
However, Ren Xiaosu felt it would be too troublesome to explain this to T 40219, so he might as well let the outcome speak for itself.
Moreover, wouldn't it be very awkward if the barbarians did not show up after he explained a lot of seemingly scientific reasoning?
Therefore, it was still necessary to maintain a certain sense of mystery.
T 40219 could not say a word for a long time. But 20 minutes later, he really saw figures moving in the forest to the west and slowly approaching them.
Everyone, including the combat staff officers and officers in the command center, was surprised. They did not expect enemies to really appear from behind, nor did they know where these enemies had come from.
But what surprised them even more was why the young man's judgment was so accurate.
P5092 thought to himself that if he did not know Ren Xiaosu's superpower was to materialize the black medicine, he would have thought the young man's superpower was that of clairvoyance!
Ren Xiaosu lowered his voice and gave orders on the radio, "Use the same firing positions as before. Look in the direction I'm pointing. Three of you, aim in the 1 o 'clock direction, and three of you, aim in the 3 o' clock direction. After that, follow me to reap the harvest. There aren't many of them!"
After that, he started waiting patiently. The barbarians were advancing very quickly. It was as though they had not expected someone to ambush them from the opposite direction!
Ren Xiaosu counted down in his head. 10, 9, 8 …
At the moment he counted to 1, he said, "Fire!"
The grenade launcher made a muffled sound, and Ren Xiaosu jumped out almost at the same time as the grenade. When the barbarians saw someone suddenly jump out, they raised their giant axes. But before they could throw their axes at Ren Xiaosu, the grenade exploded beside them.
The recon company followed behind Ren Xiaosu and started reaping the harvest from the battlefield. Some barbarians were shouting in pain in the smoke. Their words were very long and sounded like they were calling for reinforcements.
T 40219 reacted very quickly. He immediately sent two platoons to the flanks to complete the deployment of the firing line to prevent the barbarians' reinforcements from suddenly appearing.
But even after waiting for a long time, he still did not see the barbarians' reinforcements arrive.
In the distant forest, "Old Xu" was standing next to a pile of corpses. The black saber in his hand was still dripping with blood.
When the battle was over, or to be more precise, when Ren Xiaosu was done reaping the harvest, a soldier from the recon company muttered, "It's no wonder the commander sent him to lead the battle. We thought the commander …"
T 40219 got anxious. This transmission was being transmitted back to the command center in real time. Wasn't this clearly questioning the commander's decision? He hurriedly said, "All combat units, maintain radio silence!"
But it was still too late. The soldier's words were transmitted back to the command center.
However, P5092 was not angry. Instead, he revealed a smile. If he could successfully instigate an expert like Ren Xiaosu to defect to his side, it would be like adding wings to a tiger in the war against the barbarians!
