Actually, P5092, who was far away in the command tent on Zuoyun Mount, was not particularly worried when he heard about the ambush. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.
That was because as long as he guessed correctly, with Ren Xiaosu's combat prowess, he would definitely be able to fight this battle beautifully.
This time, P5092 was going to prove his worth to everyone.
Ji Zi 'ang had proven his ability. Not only could he fight, but he could also quickly set up defensive positions during a battle.
This ability to quickly change the terrain might be a little useless in a one-on-one battle because his lethality was not as great as others'. But in a battle, P5092 knew better than anyone what it meant to have someone who could change the environment.
Meanwhile, Wang Yun had the ability to quickly analyze and organize information. He was like a walking search engine in human form, and he was extremely good at picking up on any clues.
As for Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin, their combat prowess went without saying.
Instead, it was P5092 who had not shown any particularly outstanding performance yet. He had done a very good job at reorganizing the troops, but most of the veteran generals could also do a very good job, including the planning of the defensive positions.
These were just the basics for a general to become a famous general.
Therefore, when P5092 met these good partners, he always felt he should quickly show his worth. Only then would he be worthy of these teammates.
This was a very strange feeling. In the past, P5092 always felt he could not do much with the Pyro Company. This was because in the tactics he came up with, he had to lower the standards of many of the officers and soldiers by one to three notches. That way, the soldiers and low-level officers could keep up with his pace.
This was like having to break an arm first in a fight. He would have to deliberately lower his standards to achieve victory.
Of course, the final victory was the most important. But those battles could clearly have been fought more beautifully.
For example, at the logistics base behind Mt. Dashi, he used the Qinghe University students as bait and prepared a special forces team led by a T5 combatant.
But many people still died in that battle, and the supplies were also destroyed.
If experts like Ren Xiaosu, Wang Yun, and Ji Zi 'ang had been part of that plan, how could the supplies have been destroyed?
Therefore, P5092 would always feel powerless when it came to the Pyro Company.
But it was different now. He suddenly felt like everyone was on par with each other. P5092 no longer needed to worry about whether his teammates were good or not. All he had to worry about was whether he was good or not!
This feeling was too exhilarating. He did not want his teammates to think that he did not deserve to be part of the team. So, before he left today, he specifically told Ren Xiaosu that the expeditionary army might be ambushing them. He had to lure them in and blow up most of them with TNT!
Right now, Ren Xiaosu should be harvesting the battlefield, just like how he had done every time in the past.
Speaking of which, it was strange. If he didn't go to the frontline, he could still be a Young Marshal of the Northwest. Why did Ren Xiaosu always like to go to the frontline?
Just like the time when Ren Xiaosu and Jiang Xu played chess, Jiang Xu said that he had never seen anyone win before.
However, Ren Xiaosu replied that winning was definitely the strongest. Why did he keep hiding at the back? Of course he had to rush to the frontline.
Right now, on this chessboard, the Young Marshal's "win" was indeed like Ren Xiaosu had described. He was rampaging through the battlefield and slaughtering everyone around him.
Once, when Ren Xiaosu was playing chess with Jiang Xu, his "win" stopped in front of one of Jiang Xu's pawns. Jiang Xu was overjoyed and immediately raised his pawn. "Checkmate! You've lost! "
However, Ren Xiaosu knocked the pawn away from the chessboard. Then he said to Jiang Xu, "It's not like he can beat me. Isn't he just throwing his life away by charging at me? You're such a strange person."
At the time, Jiang Xu thought to himself, 'Who the fuck is the strange one here? It's clearly you who's strange, alright?'
But now, a similar scene was unfolding in the blink of an eye.
In the valley of Zuoyun Mount, a burly barbarian who was not affected by the TNT saw Ren Xiaosu charging to the front. He raised his giant axe and swung it at Ren Xiaosu.
Seeing that Ren Xiaosu did not even raise his spear, the barbarian was overjoyed when he saw Ren Xiaosu did not even raise his spear. But after the joy passed, his joy turned to sorrow. He saw Ren Xiaosu swing his hand backward, and a black saber that came out of nowhere chopped off his arm.
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu casually flicked away the axe that was still falling down and made it disappear without a trace.
When several dozen barbarians saw that Ren Xiaosu was a supernatural being, they covered their eyes and planned to forcefully surround and kill Ren Xiaosu despite the gunfire from the other members of Iron 1st Company.
But a moment later, the sound of a sniper rifle rang out from a distance on the battlefield. The bullet arrived before the gunfire could be heard and pierced through the barbarians who were trying to surround Ren Xiaosu, creating an opening for Ren Xiaosu!
It took three seconds to kill several hundred barbarians, but it took half an hour to reap the rest of the battlefield. They could have done it even faster, but Ren Xiaosu had to be distracted to protect the soldiers of Iron 1st Company, so it was delayed for some time.
P5092 was watching all of this from the command tent but did not say anything.
It wasn't until Ren Xiaosu confirmed that there were no more barbarians lying on the ground that he asked on the radio, "What should we do next?"
P5092 said calmly, "From the looks of it, the barbarians really care about their supply line. Zuoyun Mount has become a thorn in their side, so let's add fuel to the fire. Young Marshal, lead the brothers of Iron 1st Company and hang the corpses of these barbarians outside Zuoyun Mount. Let the barbarians have a good look at what happened to their comrades."
"Alright," Ren Xiaosu said.
P5092 said, "Also, we discovered on the battlefield at the Pyro Company that our compatriots from the Central Plains had their right ears cut off after they were killed. This might be a way for the barbarians to accumulate military merits. I'll have to trouble you to cut off the ears of these barbarians and throw them next to their corpses. I think it'll be easier to provoke them this way."
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "You're forcing the expeditionary army's main force to attack us."
"That's exactly what I'm thinking." P5092 said, "But aren't you worried, Young Marshal?"
"About what?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Are you worried that a lot of people from the 6th Combat Brigade will die?" P5092 said, "And a lot of them will definitely die."
Ren Xiaosu smiled. "If I'm worried about that, I'd be insulting the soldiers of Fortress 178. They're not cowards who are afraid of death. They're only afraid that they won't die a worthy death. I just hope that there won't be any unnecessary casualties. I know people will die in war, and I also know that you're willing to sacrifice yourself. I understand that. That's why I'm handing command over to you. You don't have to worry about anything. "
However, P5092 suddenly said after a long silence, "I'll try my best to keep them alive. Of course, everything is still based on the premise that we win."
This stunned Ren Xiaosu. "You never cared about the lives of your soldiers before."
P5092 said, "People change."
After that, P5092 ended the call. He sat quietly in the command tent and suddenly thought he would have to put more effort into his tactics in the future.
