At this moment, Director Di was in Wang Chao's hands, and everyone dared not act rashly. Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Thunder Strike Team had arrived by Wang Chao's side. Wang Chao commanded, "Confiscate their weapons and count the number of people! Find some ropes and tie them up, hands and feet together. This way, even if they try to escape, they won't be able to do so quickly. Remember to search them for any daggers or knives!"
After saying this, Wang Chao addressed the surrounding Ganzhou Soldiers, "We are all Huaxia People. Put down your weapons; I will not kill you or lay a finger on Director Di. However, if you do not follow my orders—if even one of you disobeys—I will cut off one of his fingers. If ten of you disobey, I will chop off ten fingers. Then it will be toes, eyes, nose, ears, and limbs! Until you start listening!"
"Do not doubt my words; I am a man of my word!" Wang Chao said sternly. "Now, gather in a circle by squads and place all your firearms and daggers behind you!"
Seeing how mercilessly Wang Chao had just killed without hesitation, the soldiers understood that if they did not obey him, he could very well turn Director Di into a pile of minced meat. They dared not slack off and quickly followed Wang Chao's instructions, forming a circle by squads and placing their weapons and ammunition on the ground behind them. Wang Chao gestured to the Assault Team members and said, "Bring those firearms over here!"
As he spoke, the Assault Team members began moving the guns away from the soldiers while using bandages to tie them together in a hand-foot-hand sequence. This made it difficult for them to even walk, let alone attempt an escape; any movement would be easily noticed. While everyone was busy transporting weapons, Wang Chao kept control over Director Di. At that moment, several team members returned carrying Wang Xiaochuan.
Wang Xiaochuan's face was still pale, clearly having endured severe torture. Upon seeing Director Di's miserable state, he said, "Director Di, look at you now!" Director Di gritted his teeth and replied, "Today I have been captured by you all; whether to kill or mutilate me is up to you! But please spare these Brothers; you have said it yourself—we are all Huaxia People!"
"Of course," Wang Chao replied. "As long as you cooperate with me!"
Before long, the Assault Team had piled up all the firearms. Only then did Wang Chao lower the Panlong Blade from Director Di's neck and walk over to the mountain of weapons. With a few swift swings of the Panlong Blade, those fine weapons were reduced to mere firewood. Destroying these firearms was like severing a tiger's sharp claws and fangs; suddenly, this army of thousands was no match for the Thunder Strike Team.
The members of the Thunder Strike Team were aware of Wang Chao's prowess, but the Ganzhou Soldiers had no idea how formidable he truly was. Seeing him slice through those weapons with ease left them in awe. Wang Chao turned to Director Di and asked, "Are you responsible for transporting supplies to Huangfu Yan's main army? What is the route his forces are taking?"
Director Di spat defiantly and said, "I am not someone who fears death or forgets gratitude! To extract information from my mouth is a dream!"
"If you don't speak, I have my ways to make you talk," Wang Chao replied coldly. "I will count to three; if you still refuse to speak by then, I will kill one of your soldiers. If you remain silent after that, I will kill another soldier. The number of lives lost depends on your choice. One!"
"Two!"
Counting to two, Director Di still showed no intention of speaking.
"Do you really care so little for their lives?" Wang Chao had already raised his gun, not even glancing back at the Ganzhou Soldiers behind him. The chance of hitting anyone was almost zero. Wang Chao continued, "Is intelligence really more important than these people's lives?"
"Haha!" Director Di burst into laughter and said, "Although our soldiers here are all old and weak, otherwise, how could your mere hundred men defeat the Huangfu Family? However, an old steed still aspires to gallop a thousand miles; a martyr's ambition remains undiminished in old age. We have been with General Huangfu the longest; the bones of the Huangfu Family have already grown into our bodies!"
"Go ahead and shoot!" Director Di challenged.
"Shoot!" The Huangfu soldiers behind him echoed loudly.
With a bang, Wang Chao fired a shot into the sky and then commanded, "Search those buildings and see if there's any useful intelligence!"
An hour passed, but they found nothing of value. Director Di said, "All valuable intelligence is in my head. If not, you can just crack open my skull and take a look."
Wang Chao smiled and replied, "In that case, fine. Let's retreat!"
"What?" Both the Thunder Strike Team members and the captured Huangfu Army soldiers were incredulous. They had just fought hard to capture this logistics unit, yet they were leaving without finding anything? Little did they know that Wang Chao had already packed most of the food from the trucks into his Spatial Ring, leaving only enough supplies for the few thousand troops present.
"This is an order!" After saying this, Wang Chao looked at Director Di and said, "I have great respect for you. If possible, I truly hope not to see you here again. However, we each serve our own masters; this battle is unavoidable. You have lost your weapons, so it’s unlikely you can pose any threat. Farewell!"
Director Di looked at Wang Chao with a complex expression but ultimately said nothing.
On the way back to the imperial capital.
On his back, Wang Xiaochuan asked Wang Chao, "Captain, are you really just leaving like this?"
Wang Chao smiled lightly and replied, "There is a deeper meaning to my actions. First, while you all weren't paying attention, I have already destroyed the majority of the food in the trucks. What's left is barely enough for them to eat and cannot supply the rest of the large army. Second, I have sabotaged their weapons. This unit is now without food and arms; they have become a burden to Huangfu Yan, but Huangfu Yan cannot simply abandon them!"
Wang Xiaochuan chuckled and said, "So it turns out you're this cunning, Captain. You really think far ahead; how did I not realize this?"
"Actually, there is something even more important," Wang Chao shook his head and said seriously.
"There's more?" Wang Xiaochuan pondered but couldn't figure out what this more important point was. He asked in confusion, "What is it?"
"Because we are all Huaxia people!" Wang Chao said softly.
