Chapter 947 - Booby Trap (1/2)
”Future Commander, what are you thinking?” the Great Hoodwinker asked curiously.
Earlier, when Xun Yeyu said that a large number of the expeditionary army's troops were approaching them, the Great Hoodwinker was taken aback and wanted to flee quickly.
However, he realized Ren Xiaosu was not panicking at all. Not only did he not leave, but he even took out a satchel of TNT from somewhere.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was digging a pit in the ground with an entrenching tool. Then he carefully placed the TNT into the pit.
Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, ”Too bad we don't have a detonator. I left those things behind on Mt. Zuoyun. Or else this would be more convenient. We're gonna have to resort to binding it with a grenade..”
After Ren Xiaosu buried the TNT into the ground, he placed a barbarian's corpse over it. As long as someone lifted or moved the barbarian's corpse, they would pull the safety pin of the grenade and blow the nearby barbarians into the sky.
Without a detonator, he could not control it remotely. So he could only use this method to create a booby trap.
Due to the pressure of the war on Mt. Zuoyun, Ren Xiaosu not only did not take the explosives the 6th Combat Brigade had brought with them, but he also contributed all of the TNT he had been saving for a long time. He only kept a single satchel for emergencies, but it had no detonator.
Xun Yeyu asked meekly, ”Will this work? I remember that TNT isn't easy to detonate, right? Can a grenade trigger it?”
”Yes.” Ren Xiaosu said, ”TNT detonated by a grenade is actually more powerful than a standard detonator.”
Although TNT was very powerful, it was not that easy to detonate it. Usually, the TNT would be attached to a detonator that had to be triggered first before the TNT blew up.
If it was just an ordinary ignition, the TNT would emit a yellow flame and then slowly burn out without exploding. Therefore, when disposing of TNT, it would usually be done through a burning method.
The Great Hoodwinker praised, ”Future Commander is really wise. The barbarians will definitely not expect to get themselves killed if they move their comrades' corpses. Moreover, this bomb will also traumatize them. When they see their comrades' corpses in the future, they'll remember what happened today.”
Ren Xiaosu said modestly, ”Probably, but not so loud, not so loud, please.”
Next to them, Xun Yeyu did not know what to say. He thought to himself that this Great Hoodwinker was such a bootlicker.
”Alright, let's get out of here quickly.” Ren Xiaosu said, ”How long until the expeditionary army arrives?”
Xun Yeyu roughly calculated the speed at which the other party was approaching. ”I think it'll take a little over an hour.”
”Let's head a kilometer away and wait there. We'll leave after confirming they've set off the explosion here. At that time, Xun Yeyu, tell me the number of enemy casualties,” Ren Xiaosu said.
More than an hour later, the expeditionary army quickly approached the battlefield. When they saw that all of the supply corps were dead, an officer let out a furious roar.
The expeditionary army had lost four supply convoys in a single day. This was a loss they could not bear. More importantly, they did not even catch a glimpse of the enemy.
Whenever they got near, it was as though the other party had eyes in the sky and left in advance. They were impossible to catch.
One of the barbarians said to the expeditionary army's commander, ”Sir, I'm afraid that there might be a lot of people in this group. Look, the supplies that were being transported from the Pyro Company were quite a lot. If there weren't that many enemies, they couldn't have taken away the supplies. But we can see that they've already emptied out all four convoys of supplies that we were transporting.”
