Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

At this time, the captain, with two children on his left and right, ran as hard as he could up the slope.

After the grenade exploded, the captain of the guard stood up directly and used the submachine gun in his hand to shoot at the John soldiers on the opposite side. The Dongchuan Army on the slope also began to provide fire cover for the captain.

For a moment, the John soldiers on the opposite side were unable to raise their heads.

The submachine gun used by the Empire uses a 32-round magazine. This magazine seems to have a lot of bullets, but if you keep pulling the trigger, the bullets will be empty in just a second or two.

The captain of the guard had never used a submachine gun before. He just kept firing, using the submachine gun as a machine gun. He didn't know that there was no bullets until there was a clicking sound in the gun chamber.

Seeing that the submachine gun was out of bullets, he threw the submachine gun on the ground and wanted to get the grenade.

At this time, a bullet fired from nowhere hit his chest directly, causing his body to stagger.

Looking at the blood seeping out of his chest and feeling the constant loss of his life force, the captain of the guard also knew that he would not survive today.

He gritted his teeth, pulled the fuse of the grenade, and used the last bit of strength in his body to throw it towards the John soldiers.

After watching the grenade kill three or four John soldiers again, the captain of the guard's body softened and fell backward.

Lying on the soft mud and looking at the dark night sky, the captain of the guard felt that his breathing was getting heavier and heavier. He knew that his life had come to an end and he had completed his mission.

With the help of the cover of the captain of the guard and other Dongchuan troops, the captain successfully jumped into the trench.

But no matter how fast the captain moved, he was still shot. Fortunately, the bullet only hit his leg and not a vital part.

He looked at the two children he was holding and found that they were not injured. The captain breathed a sigh of relief.

As an officer, he naturally understood the importance of these two children. So he would rather get hurt himself than let these two children get hurt at all.

After instructing the two children to hide, he raised his head to see the captain of the guard. But as a result, he saw the captain of the guard lying on the ground, motionless.

Seeing the captain of the guard like this, the captain also knew that the other party was in danger.

However, the captain did not feel too sad because he knew that this was the fate of everyone.

Who knows when, like the captain of the guard, he will die in battle.

But the captain had no regrets or fear, because he knew that it was all worth it, for the empire.

At this time, a messenger ran over from the rear, looked at the captain and said: "Company Commander Wang, the division commander asked you to send someone to deliver the tin robe to the division headquarters."

When the captain heard what the messenger said, he knew that Cheng Baitao wanted to see Xipao, so he ordered his platoon leader to take Xipao's family to see Cheng Baitao.

But when he looked at the two obviously frightened children, the captain thought for a moment and took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to the two children.

"Don't worry, you are safe." The captain said softly to the two children.

The little prince and princess of Taungoo heard the captain's words, took the candy, and then nodded to the captain.

At this time, Cheng Baitao already knew that the people in the car just now were King Xipao and his family in Toungoo. This made him break out in a cold sweat.

Xipao was the person named by the empire and asked to be captured alive, because he was the key to controlling the Toungoo Kingdom. With him and without him, the empire's situation in the Eastern Kingdom was completely different.

Cheng Baitao was surprised to see Xipao rush out of John's convoy so recklessly. That's why he wanted to see Xipao.

When Xi Pao appeared in front of him, he realized that Xi Pao was a big fat man. There was a look of humility on his face.

"I have met the general of the Kingdom of China." Xipao said humbly. He knew that the person in front of him could now decide his life or death.

If he wanted to survive, he could only rely on Cheng Baitao as much as possible.

"King Taungoo, no courtesy." Cheng Baitao changed from his usual rudeness and put on a refined look on his face.

I have to say that Cheng Baitao's appearance is still very deceptive. He is tall and thin, with handsome features. If he doesn't use foul language, he is still very deceptive.

"I'm a little curious, King Taungoo, why did you take such a big risk to escape from the hands of the Johns?" Cheng Baitao wanted to understand the purpose of the tin robe as much as possible.

"General, you have to make the decision for our Toungu country. Our Toungu country has been a vassal state of Daxia for generations, but since the Johns came, our Toungu country has never had a good day." Xipao With grief on his face, he said to Cheng Baitao.

After hearing Xi Pao's words, Cheng Baitao did not answer him immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought about how credible Xi Pao's words were.

Logically speaking, Xipao can be regarded as acceptable in the John Kingdom. If the John Empire wants to control Taungoo through Xipao, it will naturally not treat Xipao too badly. At least in terms of material life, the tin robe will not be deducted.

To be honest, Xipao's current behavior makes Cheng Baitao a little confused. After all, this man had issued a speech asking Toungoo to resist the empire the day before. Now he took the initiative to run to the empire.

However, these are not important to Cheng Baitao, he only needs to confirm that the tin robe is genuine. No matter what his purpose is, as long as it is handed over to the Statistics Bureau, then no matter what the purpose is, the people from the Statistics Bureau can ask about it.

Cheng Baitao still has great faith in the capabilities of the Bureau of Statistics.

The battle situation on the front line is now urgent, and troops often need to move long distances. It is impossible for Cheng Baitao and the others to bring Xipao and the others with them. Therefore, after Cheng Baitao roughly confirmed the identities of Xipao and others, he asked people to contact the Bureau of Statistics and asked them to send Xipao and his family to the rear.

While Cheng Baitao asked Xipao, Vertin was also in trouble. He watched Xipao and the others run to the Daxia battlefield. Although they killed Xipao's captain of the guard, it was of no use now.

Coupled with the fact that the Daxia people were ambushing him now and had all the advantages, he already had the idea of ​​​​retreating.

After all, if the fight continues, none of his men will be able to leave.

Vertin was a man of action. After he decided to retreat, he immediately asked the soldiers to retreat from the war zone, first to Tianzhu.

Seeing that Vertin intended to retreat, Cheng Baitao estimated the physical strength of his soldiers, and since the main purpose of their trip had been achieved, he did not order a pursuit.

After all, all they wanted was Xipao's family. Now that they were in their own hands, there was no need to increase casualties. Even if Vertin runs to Tianzhu, so what?

The most important thing now is to send the Xipao family back to Yangon so that he can order the Taungoo colonial army on the front line to make way so that the empire can surround the John Empire's army on the front line.

If the [-] John Empire soldiers on the front line can be surrounded and eliminated, then Tianzhu will be short of troops, and maybe they can bite off a large piece of meat from Tianzhu.
