Chapter 134 Commanding the Opponent
Before the game, Xu Lingqu only did three things. The first was to split the Moye team into smaller teams. The second was to simulate how to break out of the encirclement of Seabuckthorn and Du'e without a commander.
She does not have the ability to predict the future, and cannot predict what the Saitu will be or what mechanisms are contained in the Saitu.
Knowing that Seabuckthorn and Du'e will definitely join forces and that Fang Taibai will eavesdrop, regardless of the command channel, the best response strategy is to break out into small groups and fight guerrilla warfare. This is also a good opportunity to hone the combat skills of the Moye team.
The third thing was to have the analysts prepare several sets of code words for commands. For example, among the three commands, only the second one was true. If one coughed and then gave a command, all the directional instructions in this set of commands would have to be listened to in reverse...
At this time, Moye's pre-match deployment of the first two things had taken effect. After Xu Lingqu finally gave the order to break out to the west and abandon channel communication, Moye's team instantly broke up into small pieces and began to break out from various angles. After breaking out, they ran west regardless of anything.
When they broke through, they were very willing to use heavy weapons, attacking from all angles, and quickly tore through the encirclement of Seabuckthorn and Du'e. They had no desire to fight, and just kept running.
Guan Chuanjun and Limuyi were not willing to give up this good opportunity to wipe out Moye, and immediately began to chase in the direction where Moye's team was moving. As long as they could seize this opportunity, the game would basically be over. Du'e and Seabuckthorn would secure the first and second place and directly enter the quarterfinals.
Seabuckthorn and Du'e's men were chasing them fiercely, and at this time the director cut to the large map from a God's perspective. Everyone could clearly see that they followed Moye from the northeast corner of Setu to the west, and they were being led farther and farther away from the direction of the pyramid where the energy core point was located in the south.
But they were no longer that shocked. After all, seeing Xu Lingqu appear in front of the pyramid was already shocking enough.
"By now, we know what Xu Lingqu planned after entering Saitu." Professor Zhuang's eyes lit up. "For example, her communication with Guan Chuanjun and Li Muyi wasn't really about getting them to join forces against the three federal schools. Or rather, her most important intention wasn't this. Instead, she was trying to convince them that the energy core wasn't important to them. They could just wipe out the other military schools and still win the game. After instilling this concept in Du'e and Seabuckthorn, she then set out on her own to obtain the energy core, constantly reinforcing the message to them that the energy core wasn't important."
"Yes, everything she does serves this purpose. For example, her initiative to unite against the three federal schools was essentially a way for her to find a core of power to buy time. I've said before that she's adept at persuading others by offering them their most important benefits, but she never lets herself suffer any loss. While seemingly giving them the benefits they need most, it actually benefits her more." Colonel Ren's tone was filled with admiration and praise. "Xu Lingqu is someone with a strong sense of purpose. Once she decides on something, everything she does will serve that goal."
Professor Zhuang looked at Seabuckthorn and Du'e, who were being led further and further astray, and shook his head. He reviewed Xu Lingqu's previous actions. "When dealing with Jin Fang Taibai's eavesdropping, the usual strategies we came up with were either to forgo hard communication to win, or to create a codeword. Seeing how Mo Xie quickly switched teams to break out, they had a plan in place, and they definitely used a codeword. But after Xu Lingqu learned about the game map's mechanics, she must have immediately changed her original plan. She can make very clever strategic deployments, but she also grasps the core of the game's true victory."
"Yes, those commands she made, which seemed a bit foolish and unlike her in our eyes, were actually intended to ensure that Jin Fang Taibai believed he could fully grasp Mo Xie's movements and reap some benefits. Once they had this understanding, Sea Buckthorn and Du'e would focus entirely on this channel, with no time to consider other issues. They had no time to think about the problem that Xu Lingqu had not appeared since the start of the game." Colonel Ren clasped his hands. "And in the end, Jin Fang Taibai was used in reverse by Xu Lingqu. Xu Lingqu told Mo Xie to go west, and Jin Fang Taibai reported the intelligence truthfully, letting Sea Buckthorn and Du'e follow, achieving Xu Lingqu's goal of keeping them away from the energy core."
"So, in my opinion, she didn't use codewords to give orders because she wasn't just commanding Moye, she was also commanding Sea Buckthorn and Du'e."
[It’s bad, I’ve become the commander-in-chief of Seabuckthorn and Du’e for our Lingqu Canal]
[I've finally come to my senses. Seabuckthorn and Du'e are so focused on chasing Moye that they've completely forgotten the most important map mechanics.]
[My words may seem a bit inappropriate, but I find Xu Lingqu's smile quite cute.]
[Those of you who were inexplicably cursing Xu Lingqu earlier, could you please come out and take a walk? Or, you really didn't live to see this moment, that would be great.]
[But don’t you think this is just her using everyone in Moye as a sacrifice, and then trying to get attention herself...]
"Mo Xie's current casualties are only ten more than Du'e's, and isn't he currently fleeing westward while engaging in guerrilla warfare? Is that what you call a sacrifice?"
"I don't understand. Anyway, my commander can carry us all on the field by himself. I'm happy to sacrifice myself. Even if she asks me to go through fire and water, I'm happy to do it."
[What did you think earlier? Xu Lingqu must have consulted with Moye's students. I only saw that Moye's students really believed in her.]
…
"Having said that, although Xu Lingqu's plan was incredibly ingenious, linking one thing after another to lure Sea Buckthorn and Du'e into a mind trap, the most crucial aspect of this strategy was her ability to obtain the energy core alone. If she didn't, everything would be in vain," Professor Zhuang analyzed. "Xu Lingqu herself said that Skynet officials warned that this energy core location was quite dangerous, and that they recommended entering with ten or fewer people. To me, that meant it was best to go in groups of ten."
Skynet officials thought that when an entire military academy team found this place, using this rule to prevent a large number of people from rushing in was really unsightly. They simply said that ten or fewer people could enter. If everyone could send more, then ten would be enough. At the very least, it would be a mature team of 6-9 people.
Skynet officials do not set a minimum number of people because they feel that no one would rush into this huge pyramid alone after being warned of the danger. This is either too stupid or too crazy.
"Xu Lingqu single-handedly overturned Sea Buckthorn's headquarters last time. I think she's confident in her abilities, even though we can't tell from her appearance." Colonel Ren sat up straighter and said expectantly, "Let's just go and see her performance."
At this moment, a barrage of comments passed silently:
[I remember this pyramid being a bit like a boss location from a desert game Skynet released a while ago... My friend and I never got past it even with cheats. This boss location has a bug!]
