Chapter 923 - Strategy To Repel The Enemy (1/2)

Everyone looked at the mountain peak that had been fired upon 12 times with an automatic rifle, then at the confident soldier who shot it.

To be honest, everyone, including P5092 and the others, was surprised. That was a mountain! But that soldier said that as long as those 12 points of the mountain could be turned to sand, the entire mountain would collapse?

To humans, those towering mountains were not something that could be destroyed with human strength unless they used firearms and explosives.

Ji Zi'ang asked, ”How large of a cross section should I turn to sand?”

The soldier answered, ”Just 1.38 centimeters in diameter. Of course, you might not be able to control it so accurately, so you just need to achieve around one and a half centimeters of sandification horizontally. That should be within the limits of your power.”

It might be a little difficult for Ji Zi'ang to topple the entire mountain, but if it were just creating several small points of weakness, it would not be difficult for Ji Zi'ang at all.

”I can do it.” Ji Zi'ang nodded. With that, he had someone get him a pair of military binoculars so he could start working.

But P5092 suddenly stopped him and asked the soldier, ”How should I address you?”

The soldier answered, ”Mo Fei. I'm an active duty first lieutenant of the Wang Consortium.”

P5092 said, ”Mo Fei, what type of soldier are you?”

Wang Run explained, ”The six people I brought here are all elites of our Wang Consortium's military. Mo Fei is an expert at directional demolition.”

P5092 nodded and told Ji Zi'ang, ”In that case, we'll trust Lieutenant Mo Fei this once. However, we aren't gonna topple the mountain just yet.”

Ji Zi'ang was stunned. ”You want to wait?”

”That's right.” P5092 looked over the defensive position. ”The expeditionary army is still only probing, so there aren't enough barbarians gathered on that mountain path. Let's wait until there's enough of them before we make our move. The collapse of a mountain like that will be enough to kill 2,000 of them. It'll be a great victory if we can kill 2,000 barbarians without suffering any casualties!”

This great victory would even instantly raise the morale of the 6th Combat Brigade. Initially, the soldiers were still apprehensive about facing the barbarians. It was not that they were afraid to die but that they had never dealt with the barbarians before. It was a fear of the unknown.

When the barbarians first arrived in the Central Plains, they also felt the same fear. Even now, knowing they were up against the firearms and explosives of the Central Plains, they were still feeling this fear. It was simply human nature.

Whoever said they were not afraid or nervous on the battlefield was most definitely lying.

The barbarians remained brave even when they were fired upon by automatic rifles and suffered serious wounds, and such behavior would greatly affect the soldiers of the 6th Combat Brigade, deepening their fears.

What P5092 should do now was not to instruct everyone on how to be careful in their positional battle but to eliminate the soldiers' fears first.

If he did not even consider this, P5092 would not deserve to be admired by so many people.

Just like when he was still with the Pyro Company, why did he transport the barbarian corpses from Mt. Dashi to the front line of the Great Wall? He even deliberately lured the barbarians over and used a barrage of artillery fire to achieve a victory without suffering any casualties. That was to boost the morale of the soldiers at the Great Wall's front line!

Moreover, the collapse of the mountain peak would also remind the expeditionary army of the fear they once had of the Central Plains people.
