Any smart commander would know the importance of the logistical lifeline. And after P5092 had fought with the expeditionary army so many times, he was very certain that the enemy general was a smart person.
So why did the enemy not make a move even after the 6th Combat Brigade looted the expeditionary army's logistical supplies? This was very unusual.
P5092 said to Ren Xiaosu, "It's very likely that the battle at Mt. Daniu is so intense that the expeditionary army can't spare any manpower to encircle Mt. Daniu. All of their troops have been pinned down."
"Then what should we do now? Should we advance into Mt. Daniu to provide reinforcements?" Ren Xiaosu asked seriously. He also felt a sense of urgency.
P5092 said, "Since they're having a hard time on the front lines, we should create chaos in the rear. We must create chaos that the expeditionary army has to pay attention to! We absolutely can't go to the main battlefield at Mt. Daniu at a time like this! "
P5092 had already said that the 6th Combat Brigade did not have many people left. If they rashly entered the main battlefield, it would be tantamount to throwing their lives away.
Therefore, they should continue with their plan to disrupt the expeditionary army's lifeline at this time. No matter what the others were doing, they should maintain their own rhythm and not be influenced by others just because they made some random guesses. This was the essence of being on the battlefield.
"How about this? Take Iron Company 1 to the expeditionary army's transport line again." P5092 said, "This time, as long as you see their transport troops, attack them. Attack as many as you can. We must make the expeditionary army feel the danger coming from the rear."
"Alright." Ren Xiaosu was about to leave the defensive position with his men.
But at this moment, P5092 thought of another possibility.
…
Ren Xiaosu led Iron Company 1 and rushed towards the place where they had previously looted the transport troops. However, the other party might not take this route this time. After all, there were still two other routes they could choose from.
P5092 instructed them that if they could not find the expeditionary army's transport troops on the original route, they should go to the other two routes to see if they could find anything.
The soldiers of Iron Company 1 followed behind Ren Xiaosu silently without saying anything. They would do whatever Ren Xiaosu told them to.
This time, the captain didn't even ask where Ren Xiaosu was going. He just followed him …
Ren Xiaosu turned around and glanced at them. "There's no need to cover our tracks along the way. We're here to lure the expeditionary army to Zuoyun Mount. We must leave traces that they can find."
The captain asked weakly, "Young Marshal, let's leave one of them alive this time, so it'll be easier for them to find him …"
Ren Xiaosu had already become the most ruthless person in the soldiers' hearts of Fortress 178's troops. If the barbarians encountered him, it would be difficult for them to leave any of them alive.
As they spoke, the team was about to walk out of Zuoyun Mount when Ren Xiaosu suddenly stopped in his tracks. The company commander behind him asked, "What's wrong, Young Marshal?"
"Something's wrong!" Ren Xiaosu suddenly roared, "Retreat! There are enemies lying in ambush outside the mountain! "
There happened to be a mountain blocking their view ahead. But before they set off, Ren Xiaosu released "Old Xu" to scout out the enemy's situation.
Right now, Ren Xiaosu could clearly see through "Old Xu" that there was a 1,000-strong barbarian army lying in ambush outside the mountain!
In a flash, the heavy shouts of a barbarian came from the left.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly looked up and was surprised to see a barbarian hiding on the slope to the left. He was in charge of keeping watch.
When this barbarian realized Ren Xiaosu and the others were thinking of retreating, he immediately warned his companions to quickly launch an attack. He vowed to skin Ren Xiaosu's 100-strong army alive.
The barbarian in charge of keeping watch judged that although this group of humans was still nearly a kilometer away from the ambush point, with the speed of the expeditionary army's warriors, it would not be difficult for a 1,000-strong army to wipe out these 100-strong barbarians.
The captain of Iron 1 Company shouted, "Young Marshal, what should we do?"
"Run!" Ren Xiaosu shouted, "Run back! Run as fast as you can!"
A moment later, the entire Iron 1 Company broke into a run. They moved and jumped on the mountain path in a very practiced manner.
The expeditionary army behind them roared like a pack of wolves chasing after an antelope in a valley.
Ren Xiaosu pondered as he ran. Therefore, the expeditionary army did not care about the supply line at the rear because the main battlefield was in a precarious situation. Instead, it was because they had guessed there must be a trap in Zuoyun Mount, so they did not want to enter the mountain to encircle the enemy.
In the end, they chose not to encircle the enemy and lure P5092 into making a wrong judgment of the situation. After that, they quietly set up an ambush outside the mountain in a bid to catch the Northwest Army off guard.
This could be considered a psychological tactic. The commanders of both sides were playing a psychological game.
P5092 wanted to use the importance of the supply line to force the expeditionary army to encircle Zuoyun Mount. Meanwhile, the barbarians wanted to make use of their concern for the main battlefield to lure them into taking the next step.
Ren Xiaosu lamented to himself that these people who played with tactics were really dirty. Each one was dirtier than the last.
He quickly led Iron 1 Company in the direction of the defensive position. The distance between them and the expeditionary army was getting closer and closer until they were only a few dozen meters away from each other!
The nearly 1,000 members of the expeditionary army were chasing after the barbarians in the mountains like a long, winding snake that was slithering quickly.
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed one of the red buttons on it.
With a loud bang, the winding snake was blown apart. The expeditionary army's barbarians were stunned. They did not expect to encounter such a turn of events!
Ren Xiaosu pressed the buttons one after another, and then several stacks of TNT were quickly detonated in the mountains. All of the explosive points were set up along the expeditionary army's route of advance!
A huge cloud of smoke filled the mountains, and the pungent smell stimulated everyone's senses. Casualties and wails immediately filled the wilderness!
After several explosions, only about 300 of the nearly 1,000 barbarians were left. Furthermore, their formation had also been split up by the bombs.
The barbarians were caught off guard because they were not sure if another bomb would be detonated in the next second.
Ren Xiaosu had already stopped in his tracks. The soldiers of Iron 1 Company also raised their guns and turned around. They were ready to follow their Young Marshal in a counterattack.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was very happy. It was not because of how many barbarians he had killed, but because P5092 had managed to guess the expeditionary army's intentions this time.
Although P5092 was not sure if he had guessed correctly, now that he had made an extra move, the expeditionary army that was preparing for an ambush had suffered heavy losses.
Before they set off, P5092 had told Ren Xiaosu that there might be barbarians lying in ambush outside the mountains. He told Ren Xiaosu to choose a good spot to plant the TNT before leaving the mountains. If they really encountered the expeditionary army, he was to bring them back to step on the mines!
This incident allowed Ren Xiaosu to see P5092's outstanding leadership skills on the battlefield.
As expected of the people he had personally led to the Daxing Northwest!
