Warlords: Rise of the System

Lu Tianhao had been waiting for a long time for any information from the system.

It seemed that the enemy had not been completely eliminated. Lu Tianhao quickly ordered Zhang Cheng and Jiao Yajun's two companies to chase forward along the valley.

As expected, many injured bandits were helping each other and had already escaped from the valley.

The wounded soldiers of these bandits were covered with wounds and had lost all their weapons. They had lost the ability to fight.

The two companies led by Zhang Cheng and Jiao Yajun quickly caught up with the wounded bandits and did not even give them a chance to speak. They shot them all to death.

Zhang Cheng and Jiao Yajun ordered the two teams of soldiers to separate and search the surroundings. After they no longer saw any bandits, they returned victoriously.

The voice of the system also slowly sounded in Lu Tianhao's mind.

"Ding, we eliminated a bandit squadron, a total of 3820 people, and received double the reward, a total of points."

A bright smile appeared on Lu Tianhao's face. It was another big harvest. His points were now close to 20 points.

Lu Tianhao's army launched a full-coverage artillery bombardment on the bandits, and the reconnaissance personnel sent by Commander Ding saw it all clearly.

These investigators were also shocked by the powerful firepower of Lu Tianhao's army.

The scouts immediately reported the news back.

Lu Tianhao's army carried out a full-coverage bombing on the bandits, and it took less than an hour until the battle was over.

When the news reached Commander Ding and the generals, they had just woken up.

This shocking news woke Commander Ding and all the generals up all of a sudden.

At the temporary command center, Commander Ding and a group of generals held a temporary meeting.

Commander Ding spoke first, "According to the information sent back by our scouts, the team fighting the bandits has a large number of mortars.

They carried out a full-coverage, indiscriminate bombing on the location where the bandits were ambushing, as if they had wiped out all the bandits in ambush.

Whose team is this powerful unit?"

Adjutant Sun spoke up, "Commander, I think the soldier who came to report to us last time is very likely a soldier from this unit."

A brigade commander said, "This troop sent someone to inform us to take a detour. It turns out that they wanted to eliminate the ambush of this bandit group."

Commander Ding laughed at himself and said, "I wanted to recruit the soldier who came to report the news as my guard. I really overestimated my own abilities.

It turns out that the army he belongs to has such powerful firepower, how could he possibly join my army? "

Adjutant Sun said, "Commander, that's because we don't know.

It’s a good thing for us to have such a powerful force with us now.”

Commander Ding nodded and said, "Have the scouts follow closely. We will follow their marching route and march behind them. We will no longer have to worry about being ambushed by the enemy."

The fires on both sides of the hills were still burning, and the soldiers had no way to clean up the battlefield.

Lu Tianhao didn't think much of these weapons and equipment. Moreover, after the full-coverage and indiscriminate bombing, the weapons and equipment were almost destroyed.

In order to save time, Lu Tianhao did not let the soldiers clean up the battlefield, but went straight through the valley and headed straight towards Kyoto Prefecture.

Commander Ding led the large force and circled back.

By the time they arrived at the ambush site, the fires on the hills on both sides had almost burned out, with only sporadic flames remaining.

A scout ran over and said, "Commander, the troops ahead didn't clean up the battlefield. They went straight through the valley.

Should we go into the hills on both sides to clean up the battlefield?"

Commander Ding angrily scolded, "Isn't this nonsense? How can we let go of such a good thing?"

Commander Ding immediately sent a large number of soldiers to clean up the battlefield on both sides of the hills.

The large force continued to move forward, following closely the footsteps of Lu Tianhao and his troops to avoid falling behind.

Lu Tianhao was in a good mood after wiping out a group of bandits.

Lu Tianhao did not order the troops to march quickly, but marched normally, preparing to give the soldiers some time to slow down.

The scouts of the troops following behind had already sent back the news.

Lu Tianhao just smiled and ignored it.

Lu Tianhao knew very well that the closer he got to Kyoto Prefecture, the more dangerous it would be.

The bandits must have already sent out a large number of scouts to investigate the warlord reinforcements.

Once discovered, the bandits will definitely find ways to stop them.

Although the warlord's troops following behind were poorly equipped and had weak combat effectiveness, their number was more than 10 times their own.

It would be a good thing for me to have such a troop to cover my retreat.

Lu Tianhao knew very well that the troop behind him followed his troops because they saw his powerful firepower and wanted to ensure their safety.

Overall, it is a mutually beneficial situation for both parties.

It was for this reason that Lu Tianhao did not order his troops to march quickly. Otherwise, with the marching speed of the troops behind them, they would have been left behind long ago.

In order to wait for the troops behind, Lu Tianhao stopped the troops at noon, made a fire, and prepared a sumptuous lunch.

After the soldiers had eaten and drunk their fill, they rested for more than an hour before Lu Tianhao led the troops to continue their march.

Even so, the warlord troops following behind were still left behind by a considerable distance.

Although Lu Tianhao was very anxious, he wanted to get to Kyoto Prefecture as soon as possible and find his younger brothers and sisters.

However, more haste makes waste. Lu Tianhao knows that sometimes the more anxious one is, the easier it is to make mistakes. Only by ensuring his own safety first can he protect his family.

I don’t know why the troops behind were moving so slowly.

In desperation, Lu Tianhao set up camp in advance without waiting for dark.

Commander Ding and his troops stopped 20 miles away from Lu Tianhao and his men and set up camp.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already night.

At the temporary command center, Commander Ding and all the generals gathered together.

Commander Ding asked, "Have the troops who cleaned up the battlefield returned?"

The chief of staff said, "They just came back, and they made a lot of gains."

The generals immediately became interested.

Commander Ding asked anxiously, "What did you gain?"

The chief of staff said slowly, "I didn't expect that the troops in front of us would give up so many spoils. It's really unimaginable."

Commander Ding said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. What spoils did you get?"
