"Young Marshal, what are you doing?" Big Bluff asked in puzzlement.
When Xun Yeyu said that a large number of expeditionary troops were approaching, Big Bluff was shocked and wanted to run away.
However, he realized that Ren Xiaosu was not panicking at all. Not only did he not run away, but he even took out a stack of TNT from somewhere.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was digging a hole in the ground with a folding shovel. Then, he carefully placed the TNT into the hole.
Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "It's a pity we don't have a detonator. Those things were left at Zuoyun Mount. Otherwise, it would be more convenient. We can only tie a grenade to it now."
Ren Xiaosu buried the TNT in the ground and placed the barbarian's corpses on top of it. As long as someone lifted the barbarian's corpse, the safety of the grenade would be pulled, and all the barbarians in the vicinity would be blown into the sky.
Without a detonator, there was no way to remotely control the grenade, so this was the only way to make a booby trap.
Due to the high pressure of the battle at Zuoyun Mount, not only did Ren Xiaosu not take the explosives brought by the 6th Combat Brigade, but he also contributed all the TNT he had been saving up for a long time. He only kept one stack for emergency use, and he did not have a detonator yet.
Xun Yeyu asked weakly, "Will this work? I remember that TNT is not easy to detonate. Can a grenade detonate TNT?"
"Yes." Ren Xiaosu said, "The TNT detonated by a grenade is actually more powerful than an ordinary detonator."
TNT was very powerful, but it was not easy to detonate it. Usually, a detonator would be installed on the TNT, and the detonator would be used to detonate the TNT.
If it was just a normal combustion, the TNT would emit a yellow flame and slowly burn out. It would not explode. Therefore, when destroying the TNT, it would usually be burned.
Big Bluff praised, "Young Marshal is really wise. The barbarians definitely didn't expect that moving the bodies of their comrades would cause them to be killed. Also, this bomb will traumatize them. In the future, when they see the bodies of their comrades, they will remember what happened today."
Ren Xiaosu said modestly, "It's alright, it's alright. Keep a low profile."
Xun Yeyu was speechless. He thought to himself that Big Bluff was really the number one bootlicker in the Northwest.
"Alright, let's hurry up and leave." Ren Xiaosu said, "How long until the expeditionary army arrives?"
Xun Yeyu roughly calculated the speed of the enemy's approach. "I think it'll take more than an hour."
"Let's wait a kilometer away. We'll leave after we confirm the explosion. Xun Yeyu, you check the enemy's casualties," Ren Xiaosu said.
More than an hour later, the expeditionary army quickly approached the battlefield. When they saw the supply transport troops that had been completely wiped out, an officer roared angrily.
The expeditionary army had lost four supply transport troops in a single day. This kind of loss was unbearable for them. More importantly, they did not even catch a glimpse of the enemy.
Whenever they got close, the enemy would leave in advance as though they had eyes in the sky. They could not catch a glimpse of them at all.
A barbarian said to the expeditionary army's Fang General, "Sir, I'm afraid there are quite a lot of people in this troop. Look, the supplies carried by this transport troop were transported from the Pyro Company, and there's a lot of them. If there weren't a lot of them, they wouldn't have been able to take these supplies away. But now, they've already emptied the supplies of four transport troops. "
Fang General also nodded. "But I don't understand. A large troop shouldn't be as mobile as our expeditionary army. But the enemy's current performance is clearly much more flexible than ours."
Of course, they did not know there was actually someone in this world who could carry a spatial pocket with them.
To Ren Xiaosu, even if he were to rob another 10 transport troops, he would still be able to take everything away without leaving a single crumb behind, much less this small amount of supplies!
A barbarian said, "Sir, we must track them down this time. Otherwise, the general will definitely punish us. There's not enough food in the army anymore, so we have to bring back the supplies that the enemy stole."
Fang General clenched his teeth and said, "I don't need you to teach me what to do. Go, get Boris to come over and look for the scent left behind by the enemy. There are so many of them, so they'll definitely leave behind some clues. We'll just follow the scent and continue tracking them."
This was something that the Central Plains people did not know. During the evolution of the barbarians, some of their sense of smell started to become similar to that of wild beasts, and they could even use it to track.
After the soldier named Boris was called over, he started searching for different scents near the corpses. Then he said in puzzlement, "Sir, the scent of the Central Plains people here is not complicated. It seems like there are only three of them."
"Three of them?" Fang General was stunned. He walked over to Boris and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Boris said, "They left in the direction of the north."
"Give chase!" Although Fang General did not know how the three of them could take away so many supplies, Boris had not made any mistakes before this.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was lying prone 1,000 meters away, observing the barbarians' movements with a spotting scope. "Wait, why are these barbarians leaving without carrying the corpses? They're starting to move in our direction!"
Seeing that the barbarians did not seem to have any intention of carrying the corpses away, wouldn't his plan be foiled?!
Big Bluff and Xun Yeyu were watching from the side. How was he supposed to face them?
At this moment, one of the barbarians looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "Sir, what should we do with these corpses? Transport them back to the rear? "
In the end, Fang General shook his head and said, "Our mission is to pursue this Central Plains army. If we bring these corpses back now, it'll definitely slow down our pursuit. Let's just let them rest here for now. We'll come back to bury them after the war is over. "Moreover, the Central Plains people are cunning. There were people who hid mines under the corpses earlier. The Central Plains people call this method of burying explosives by surprise as booby traps. Who knows if there are any traps under these corpses? Pass down the order to not touch these corpses no matter what! "
However, just as Fang General finished speaking, he saw a pitch-black Door of Nothingness open next to one of the corpses. The Door of Nothingness seemed to be able to suck in all light.
Immediately after, a hand reached out from the Shadow Door and flipped over the corpse.
However … the position of the door seemed to be wrong. This corpse was not what he was looking for.
The hand retracted, and the Shadow Door opened again and flipped over another corpse. This time, it was right …
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the grenade's pin popping off, a soldier watched in a daze as the Shadow Door disappeared into thin air during the three-second delay. "What the f * ck is that?! Did you guys see that hand just now? "
Fang General roared furiously, "Run!"
With a loud boom, a huge amount of grayish-black smoke rose into the air. The hundreds of barbarians near the explosives were instantly blown into pieces.
