Chapter 23 Shock
Seven thousand husbands stared at the changing expression on their team leader's face, each with a strange expression. What was wrong with their team leader today? The big battle was about to begin, and he actually believed in this little soldier? Moreover, it was less than a year since the little soldier had just entered the military camp, and the team leader seemed to be hopeless, sweating! However, these words they only dared to think in their hearts, they did not dare to say them in front of Wang Shu, otherwise they would definitely get a severe beating.
"Great! Clap." Wang Shu couldn't help but praise after hearing Leng Xiao Yao's plan, and his hands habitually clapped a loud clap.
"Squad leader, are you trying to get us killed?!" Leng Xiao Yao scolded with a pale face, holding the package of medicine that Wang Shu had been carrying earlier.
Wang Shu was scolded by Leng Xiao Yao, only then did he remember that he had a dangerous item in his hand! Oh heavens! With his high-level swordsmanship, the loud slapping sound from earlier, the force behind it wasn't small at all! Wang Shu thought about the explosive power of the medicine package, and if it weren't for Leng Xiao Yao's quick reflexes in snatching the medicine package from his hand, what would have happened? Thinking about this, Wang Shu shuddered all over, suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat on his back, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"Mistake, mistake." Wang Shu apologized with a forced smile.
"Be careful! Commander, the lives of our 8,000 soldiers are in your hands!" Leng Xiao Yao reminded him again. If he hadn't been quick-witted and sharp-eyed earlier, if he didn't possess a sense that was one level higher than others, would he have really let this large explosive pack blow up? Leng Xiao Yao certainly didn't have the confidence to survive an explosion of nearly a ton of explosives.
At this moment, Wang Shu was like a child who had done something wrong, hastily nodding his head and saying: "Definitely, definitely, don't worry, don't worry."
The seven centurions behind Wang Shu were petrified, what kind of play is being performed today? Their proud and arrogant team leader was actually interrogated by a newcomer? The seven centurions couldn't help but want to rub their eyes, the bald man standing in front of them, was he really the captain of their vanguard camp? If conditions permit, they all wanted to strip their captain naked and inspect him from head to toe to see what's wrong with him.
"Wang Shu's face wore a smile as he stretched out his hand to take the package of medicine from Han Sanping."
"It's starting, the enemy is here." Leng Xiao Yao handed over the medicine package in his hand and paid attention to the enemies rushing up from below.
"Alright." Wang Shu's face was filled with a smile as he took over the medicine package, then looked down at the densely packed soldiers rushing up from below. With a fierce swing of his arm, he flung out the medicine package, and as he did so, he had already employed his internal energy. This would increase the speed and impact force of the package when it hit the ground, which was necessary to trigger an explosion.
The beastman soldiers saw a small package wrapped in animal skin flying through the air, and they didn't pay attention to it at all, continuing to charge forward. But they never expected that a great disaster was approaching them.
"Haha, you fools, still don't know death is near." Wang Shu saw that the soldiers were still not dispersing and his mouth split into a wide smile.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The medicine package fell into the enemy crowd, and a loud explosion sounded immediately. In the next moment, the beastman soldiers felt that their bodies were like flying clouds and fog. Zero point a few seconds later, these beastmen soldiers let out a burst of miserable cries, one by one corpse split open, and a stream of fresh blood flew up into the sky.
"Wow, that's incredible!" The seven thousand-year-old men only realized now that the small earth bag in their captain's hand had such great power. Each of them thought back to what Leng Xiao Yao said earlier and suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. They finally understood why Zheng Xiao Hu went to kick the box, and why Captain was so furious. Why their captain didn't dare to make a sound when he was scolded by the new recruit earlier. Thinking of this, the seven of them simultaneously cast grateful glances at Leng Xiao Yao.
"Haha, you kids, watch how I take care of you." After Wang Shu got the first medicine package to work, his confidence suddenly surged, and he continuously threw out over a dozen more medicine packages, except for one that didn't respond for some reason, all the others responded.
"One packet of medicine can take care of dozens of soldiers, so ten packets would be hundreds, and if we had ten thousand...!" A chiliarch calculated in his heart, suddenly shocked by the consequences of his own calculation. Good heavens! If our vanguard camp possessed such a treasure, wouldn't it be invincible and unbeatable?
Wang Shu's side was already excited, his own soldiers had not yet clashed with the enemy, and he could already start killing the enemy. Poorly, the enemy's side began to show signs of chaos.
"What? You're saying we've lost several thousand men and horses now? Even if the enemy used rolling stones, there's no way they could have killed so many of our men and horses in such a short time, right?" Rutbah asked with a shocked expression.
"No, General! I don't know what kind of small package humans have come up with, but it's extremely powerful and specifically targets our soldiers' dense areas. When these things hit the ground, they explode, causing heavy casualties among our troops!" A general explained with a face full of anger, apparently Wang Shu's attack method had made him very angry.
"Little package thing? Will it explode as soon as it hits the ground?" Lute's face showed a puzzled expression, and he fell into a state of deep thought.
After a moment of contemplation, Lute raised his head and said in a firm tone: "If I'm not mistaken, that small package must have been something the Muye Tiger Squad thought of on the spur of the moment. Otherwise, if they had such a powerful tool, they would never have abandoned the city. Moreover, their retreat time was not sufficient, so I think they wouldn't have many such tools."
Routa's words made the deputy officers and generals around him shine their eyes, because the current battle situation is basically not much different from what Routa said. If Cold Xiao were to hear this now, he would also praise Routa's command for a few sentences. Who says that beastmen are all brainless? What kind of person is this?
"Pass on my orders, scatter the soldiers into units of ten and attack with all your might."
"Yes, General."
"Huh? Captain, look! The beastman soldiers seem to be making a move!" A chiliarch reported to Wang Shu.
"Ah!" Wang Shu stopped throwing the medicine packets and carefully observed the beastmen below. After a moment, when he saw that the beastman soldiers had scattered, a smile appeared on his face as he said: "Niang niang di, you think that just because you've dispersed, I won't be able to do anything?"
"Someone, pass on my order, prepare the large stones to greet them, remember, roll the stones from both sides, force the enemy into a central position, did you hear?" Wang Shu gave orders to the thousand-man commander and others beside him.
"Yes, Captain." Several thousand captains only now understood why their captain had ordered the vanguard regiment to prepare large stones as soon as they entered the central cliff. It turned out that their captain had foreseen this and deliberately led them into the middle. It seemed that the captain still wanted to continue with the destructive business!
After Wang Shu finished giving orders, he saw that Xiang You was standing beside him with a calm and thoughtful expression. He couldn't help but ask: "Xiang You, what are you thinking about?"
"Captain, do you know who this beastman's commander is?"
"Are you referring to Luteba?" Wang Shu only now understood why Leng Xiao had asked this question, and his impression of Leng Xiao was once again raised. It turned out that this person had extraordinary military skills, able to see problems from the deployment of soldiers on the battlefield.
"Has the captain ever fought with him?" Leng Xiao's face showed a strange expression as he sized up Wang Shu, because he didn't believe that someone as clumsy as Wang Shu could fight against such a cunning commander and not lose, it was simply like an adult playing tricks on a child, certain death.
Wang Shu's face suddenly darkened when he heard Leng Xiao Yao's question, as if a hint of sadness appeared on his face. He fell silent for a while before letting out a long sigh and saying, "We have clashed before, but it wasn't me against him. It was my deputy, the vice commander of the Vanguard Battalion."
"A few times." Leng Xiao didn't ask Wang Shu who the deputy officer was or where he was now, because from Wang Shu's facial expression, he had already gotten the answer he wanted. What he wanted to know now was how many times that deputy officer could exchange blows with such a commander.
"Seven times, unfortunately the last time we lost. Although in that battle our vanguard camp was almost completely annihilated, but the brothers who survived didn't have any complaints. Because even though we were defeated, we still had honor to spare. If it wasn't for that bastard of a commander..." Wang Shu stopped when he said the word "commander", his angry expression slowly calming down, and looked at Leng Xue with a gaze: "Xue, you're really excellent. I, Wang Shu, rarely admire people. If I had to say who in this life could make me, Wang Shu, admire them, there were only three people. But now, that number has increased by one."
"Oh! What about the three of them?" Leng Xiao was not impressed by Wang Shu's admiration for him, as he had already gotten used to being admired by others in his past life. Instead, he wondered who could have made such a big impression on someone like Wang Shu, who seemed so easily impressed. He had heard many rumors about Wang Shu since entering the military camp, and it would take someone with extraordinary character to impress him.
"The first is our Tianlong Kingdom's War God, Leng Da Yuanshuai. In the past, when Leng Yuanshuai followed the previous emperor Liu Zhen on his southern and northern campaigns for dozens of years, he won every battle without a single defeat. What I admire most was the Battle of Pingyuan. At that time, the previous emperor led an army of 100,000 men and was surrounded by the beastmen's army of 300,000 on the Pingyuan Slope. They wanted to lure Leng Yuanshuai to come and rescue them. At that time, Leng Yuanshuai only had an army of 50,000 men under his command. However, he led this army of 50,000 men into the Pingyuan Slope, advancing and retreating three times, and managed to meet up with the previous emperor's army of 100,000 men. Together, they broke through the encirclement on the Pingyuan Slope, killing their way out with an army of over a million men. That battle lasted for two days and two nights, with blood flowing like rivers. Only after Leng Yuanshuai escorted the previous emperor to meet up with the reinforcement troops at Hu Men did he finally fall down. It was only later that people found out that during that battle, Leng Yuanshuai had suffered three fatal injuries. However, he persisted for two days and two nights despite those injuries. After that, Leng Yuanshuai got two nicknames. The first one is the glorious name of War God, which was bestowed upon him by the previous emperor. The second one is what people from other countries called him - Leng Kuangzi (Crazy Leng). They said that once Leng Yuanshuai gets angry and takes action, he becomes like a madman, determined to drive you crazy. There are too many legends about Leng Yuanshuai, so I won't tell them one by one. If we can return alive this time, I'll tell you all about it later."
"It turns out Grandpa had such a story when he was young!" thought Leng Xiao Yao in his heart.
"These bastards, I've finally waited until you're all gathered together. Let's see how Grandpa takes care of you." Wang Shu's loud and clear voice rang out once again.
Leng Xiao Yao only felt that an object flew out in front of him, and then he heard the long-forgotten sound of explosions. Looking around, he saw Wang Shu with a gloomy smile on his face, throwing another smoke bomb towards the densely packed beastman soldiers below. The respectful expression from earlier was nowhere to be seen, replaced by an utterly despicable look.
