Eight Hundred and Ninety-One, Barbarian's Trap!
Latest URL: P5092 thought that he had no selfish intentions when talking to the other party, and he was not interested in the so-called Supreme Commander position.
In the end, as he said, where there are people, there is politics, and even a small P4 adjutant on the other side dared to sneer at him, thinking that he was because of the Sixth Division's monopoly, and envied him.
Even a calm person like P5092 is a little angry when he encounters such an idiot colleague.
Ren Xiaosu asked from the side: "Have they confirmed that they captured the top leader of the vanguard?"
"Yes, they confirmed," P5092 explained, "They said it came out of the interrogation."
"Interrogation?" Ren Xiaosu wondered, "Is it so easy to interrogate a barbarian senior general? It shouldn't be long before they caught him, so let's be honest?"
"I suspect there is a problem," P5092 said. "I suspect that the captured man is not the commander of the vanguard at all, but a trap. Those barbarians who were routed to the north clearly wanted to attract the fire troops to the north."
"Then tell them not to go," Ren Xiaosu said as a matter of course: "Isn't it good to play steadily? Shouldn't you P5s be very rational? How could you be dazzled by victory?"
P5092 looked at Ren Xiaosu helplessly: "I can't stop it anymore, do you think we are all tool people carved out of the same mold? That's not the case. All P5s also have their own family environment and growth environment. The company sees fit to be a commander."
"Oh, that's it." Ren Xiaosu nodded, "Then you are much better than them, at least you can still think seriously now."
Just as P5092 guessed, because the post of Supreme Commander was pending, the senior generals at the P5 level saw that the barbarian had been defeated, and began to harvest meritorious deeds recklessly.
Even in the process of chasing the northern barbarians, the Seventh Division and the First Division also had a situation of grabbing meritorious service.
With P5092's so-called interim supreme command title alone, there is no way to control these people.
A temporary command without a documented appointment lacks prestige too much, and many people already regard P5092 as their potential most powerful competitor, so they wish to fight against P5092 at this time.
P5092 said: "Now I can no longer dissuade them, because of my own status,
Dissuading them may backfire and arouse their competitiveness. "
"Then what are you going to do?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
P5092 turned around and said to the adjutant: "Notify the rear artillery unit to go out of the city and join us immediately. The entire infantry brigade will dig trenches on the spot. We will quickly build a line of defense here!"
To say that P5092 is decisive enough, he just decided in a split second to build a temporary line of defense here.
P5092 explained to Ren Xiaosu: "If there are no barbarian traps in the north, then it is understandable for us to build a defense line here. After all, what we are facing now is only a forward force, and there will be battles to be fought in the future. Sooner or later, the defense line must be pushed northward."
"If there are indeed barbarian traps in the north, then we are here to meet the defeated Pyrotechnic troops, and then organize a viable force to defend the Great Wall again." Keep half of it, it looks very strong, but only we know inside, the soldiers of the remaining six troops are all new recruits, some of them have never even been on the battlefield, so I must do my best to keep some veterans for Tinder.”
What P5092 is doing now is to keep some 'fire' for fire as much as possible.
At this time, the rest of the Pyrotechnical Troops had already quickly pursued towards the north. P5092 quickly spread out a map on the ground, and he took out a red pen to draw on the map: "I've figured it out now, it's late at night In the beginning, when we met the barbarians, there were no old people, and after nightfall, some old people began to appear in the barbarian army, but the proportion was small, because they were afraid that we would find out the clues in advance."
"Then, the proportion of old people became higher and higher. Until the moment when the 'Valentin' was about to be captured, all the barbarian troops had been replaced by old people. These people were not here to kill the enemy, but to send them to death!"
"Only if the Manzi dies enough, the other generals can believe that the Manzi is really defeated. Our Tinder estimates the number of the Manzi Expeditionary Army to be 150,000 people. Now, according to the rough calculation of the battle report, we are in this forest. Killed more than 50,000 people, and Wang's troops must still be holding back a group. It is said that they fought terribly, so many P5 generals thought that the barbarian's troops were about to be wiped out, so they dared to pursue them unscrupulously. go out."
"However, among the more than 50,000 people we killed, more than 30,000 were killed before and after Valentin was arrested. Therefore, I suspect that the Pyrotechnics slaughtered the elderly among the more than 30,000 barbarians."
"These barbarians are so cruel," P5092 said with emotion: "The northern ethnic groups migrated southward. The old people can't fight, have no production capacity, and can't bear the long-distance trek and battle. Staying in the team will also consume a lot of food. Therefore, they simply sent the elders of the ethnic group to the battlefield as bait in exchange for the final victory. But the most frightening thing is that these elders seem to be willing!"
After Ren Xiaosu heard so much from P5092, he suddenly looked to the north: "If the barbarians sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of elderly people in exchange for victory in a war, then their ambush in the north must be very sure. It is recommended that the Third Division retreat to the south of the Great Wall now, because no one will escape from the encirclement of the barbarians."
Since the other party paid such a high price, how could it be possible to set fire back?
But P5092 shook his head: "No, even if only one division can escape, I must respond here. If the six main forces are wiped out, the fire will really be over."
"What if only one brigade escapes? Or if none escape?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"No," P5092 said, "Although I don't know barbarians as well as you do, I do understand war. Now the five main forces are chasing after them. Although some are aggressive, there will still be some troops to wait and see. Some people rush forward, of course. Some people will stay behind, no matter how many barbarians there are, don't want them to be wiped out. I have seen the terrain in the north just now, and there is no place where more than 40,000 people can be wiped out. Chase and kill them all the way back to this forest. Slowly nibble away all the troops that escaped the encirclement on the way, so that the loss of the main force of the barbarians is also minimal."
Ren Xiaosu nodded: "Since you are so confident, I will help you go to the north to investigate."
"Please," P5092 gave a very solemn military salute: "The success or failure of Tinder depends on this battle, and this battle may affect the future of humans in the Central Plains."
