Warlords: Rise of the System
Chapter 18 Encountering an Interception
An urgent piece of information was received at Marshal Luo’s residence.
Marshal Luo and several deputy generals and staff officers all consulted this intelligence.
Their faces were all very gloomy.
Staff Officer Zhang broke the silence, “I don’t know where this force came from.
How dare you attack our army! Rescue Shorty Sun's troops.
We have already lost more than 400 troops at their hands.
We must not allow this force to become so rampant, and we must avenge our brothers."
Vice General Wang said angrily, "General, I am willing to lead the troops myself to destroy this force and avenge our brothers."
Staff Officer Xu said slowly, "According to our intelligence, this force has a small number of people.
But judging from their attire and equipment, they should be the elite troops of a major warlord.
If we fight to the death with this group of troops, will we offend those big warlords?"
Vice Admiral Wang became even more angry. "Whoever their troops are, if they dare to attack us in our territory, they are courting death."
Marshal Luo spoke up, "Whoever their army is, they dare to fight us without declaring war, so we have no choice but to accept it.
No matter whether they are the elite troops of a warlord or not, I, Luo, am not someone that can be easily messed with.
Pass on my order, mobilize the nearby troops, and make sure to wipe out this group of troops, leaving no one alive."
Staff Officer Xu nodded and said, "That's fine, as long as we kill them all, there will be no evidence.
Even if a big warlord comes to hold us accountable, we can deny it and say that it was Shorty Sun’s army that wiped them out.”
The order was quickly passed down, and the two regiments of Marshal Luo near Qin County immediately surrounded Qin County quickly.
Although more than 400 people of the regiment left by Marshal Luo in Qin County were wiped out by Lu Tianhao's army, there were still six or seven hundred people.
They had already found out the marching route of Lu Tianhao and his men. They set up a checkpoint on a road that they had to pass through and built simple defensive fortifications.
Dunzi and Gousheng sent out the soldiers of the reconnaissance company in batches to scout the route of advance.
Thanks to the troops who rescued Ding Xuguang, and also trained and reorganized them.
Today, it looked like it would be dark in two or three hours, and we had only marched thirty or forty miles.
At this time, Gou Sheng ran over and said, "Captain, the enemy has set up a checkpoint seven or eight miles ahead of us, and has built defensive fortifications on both sides.
And there are quite a few troops stationed there, what should we do?"
Lu Tianhao was very puzzled, "I remember there was no checkpoint on this road before, how come there is a checkpoint suddenly?
Could it be that this level is designed specifically to target us?"
Ding Xuguang spoke up, "It's very likely, Battalion Commander, you rescued us and wiped out so many of their troops, how could they just let it go.
If my guess is correct, they must have other troops closing in on us."
Lu Tianhao nodded. He had the same idea. It seemed that it was impossible to pass through Marshal Luo’s jurisdiction safely this time.
If you want to fight, then fight. The system you have obtained should be a war system.
To get points, you have to fight the enemies.
However, Lu Tianhao was not very interested in internal fighting. If he was not forced to do so, he really did not want to kill his compatriots.
However, in this chaotic world, many things are beyond our control and we can only accept them.
"Let's go and see if the enemy's fortifications can stop our attack?"
Lu Tianhao led everyone and quickly arrived near the checkpoint.
In a forest two or three miles away from the checkpoint, Lu Tianhao and several generals were carefully observing the checkpoint.
The checkpoint was built on a road that must be passed. The road was only 20 to 30 meters wide, leaving only a two or three meter passage in the middle, with simple fortifications built on both sides.
Although the terrain here is not steep, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you attack by force, it will inevitably cause considerable casualties.
Lu Tianhao was thinking hard about how to capture this checkpoint with the least casualties.
At this moment, Ding Xuguang's words reminded Lu Tianhao.
"If we had artillery, we could destroy this level without any effort."
The words awakened Lu Tianhao, who patted his head.
In the first two battles, firearms were used, and light machine guns were rarely used, so artillery was forgotten.
I have my own system. As long as I have points, I can exchange for planes and cannons. But I am here foolishly thinking about how to deal with the levels ahead?
Most of the soldiers under his command were ordinary soldiers who had been trained, and they did not know how to use large-caliber artillery.
However, everyone can use mortars, and they can use them very skillfully with good accuracy.
Lu Tianhao exchanged ten 81mm mortars and took them out directly.
Now all the soldiers under his command have been trained, so there is no need to worry about his system being exposed.
After the ten mortars were taken out, the generals were all surprised. With these mortars, the opposite checkpoint could be said to be vulnerable.
Lu Tianhao quickly organized the soldiers to deploy the combat plan.
He divided the artillery into two groups and deployed them on the high ground on both sides of the pass.
With his order, shells fell into the enemy camp like rain.
The simple fortifications built by the enemy could not withstand the destruction of artillery fire.
A violent explosion was heard, and the entire fortification was filled with smoke, flames, and debris.
The screams were drowned out by the rumbling sound of the explosion, which killed or injured more than half of the enemies. The surviving enemies began to flee frantically to the back.
Lu Tianhao only fired five consecutive rounds from the ten mortars and then stopped the shelling.
Before the smoke had cleared, Lu Tianhao led the soldiers towards the checkpoint.
By the time they rushed to the checkpoint, there was no intact enemy left on the checkpoint. Only some wounded were left, still screaming.
Lu Tianhao did not have a medical team now, so he screened the enemy's wounded one by one and had those he thought could survive bandaged.
Those who were seriously injured and could not survive were given a quick death so that they could suffer less.
There is no way, this is war.
Those who were missing limbs could not stop the bleeding, and their internal organs had been severely damaged.
With current medical conditions, it is simply impossible to treat him, so the only thing we can do is to make him suffer less.
Lu Tianhao asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield quickly and prepare to leave the place quickly to avoid attracting more enemies.
System reports are always late.
