Chapter 98 What if?
The twenty students who followed the command and formed a long snake formation and were abandoned withdrew from the cocoon cabin connection under siege.
Thirteen of them were Moye’s freshmen this year. After they came out of the cocoon cabin, each of them had pain and confusion on their faces.
When Seabuckthorn's men bombarded them with artillery fire and surrounded them from both sides, the only instruction on the communication channel was Feng Bu's order to let them fend for themselves.
The remaining seven senior students had numb expressions on their faces.
They had already experienced this kind of scenario in the league last year, where they were sent out into the desert to find their way but were inexplicably abandoned in the end.
The outcome was a crushing defeat, discrimination from students at other military academies, and ridicule from Skynet.
Kaiang, Instructor Chen and Su Li looked at the students with mixed feelings, and no one could speak.
Young people, especially young military cadets, should be full of vigor and high spirits. Such decadence is really heartbreaking to see.
"There's basically nothing we can do about this match," Su Li said with difficulty. "After the match, I'll have someone come and give them some psychological counseling. Xu Lingqu will be in charge of the next match. Let's review the situation and try to get some points in the next one."
Only she knew here that the victory of this battle had been replaced by Xu Lingqu before it even started, and Xu Lingqu and Feng Hui also had a bet about the overall command.
"Xu Lingqu, Liu Zheng, and Shen Shouli haven't appeared yet." Instructor Chen looked at the live broadcast camera, "They must be making a detour."
"But Seabuckthorn's headquarters has been completely encircled by a tight net." Kion sighed. "Guan Chuanjun may look unruly, but he's actually quite vigilant. He's even set up an ambush on the left rear, where it's easier to penetrate. Even if they manage to get around, they'll most likely be trapped by Guan Chuanjun."
"What if?" Instructor Chen turned to look at him. "What if we can really avoid all this and behead Guan Chuanjun?"
Kion's heart was touched, and he swallowed the words that were about to be refuted back at his lips.
Su Li said nothing and did not shatter his last hope.
-
The six people were sneaking in the forest right behind Seabuckthorn.
They could not take offensive measures when they penetrated deep into the enemy's rear like ordinary infiltration tactics, because the large army in the front was defeated and they were short of manpower. Their first goal was to hide and behead, so anyone who saw Sea Buckthorn here must not take action and must hide.
Be a patient hunter, looking for that one chance to kill with one strike.
Tang Muwen followed Xu Lingqu and reported the battle situation on the front to him in a low voice.
"Feng Bu chose to start a positional battle with Seabuckthorn, which played into Seabuckthorn's hands. Now their artillery positions are covering Moye's first and second lines of defense with fire. He... was cursing on the communication channel, scolding his own artillery for being slow. But we don't have Seabuckthorn's position to accurately strike us."
It was rare for Tang Muwen to frown while speaking. He couldn't stand Feng Bu just by listening to him.
Fortunately, Xu Lingqu had asked Jin and Xu Xizhen to turn off the intercom headsets long ago, otherwise they would have turned their guns around and killed Feng Bu after hearing what they heard.
Xu Lingqu nodded, and the six of them sneaked to a place with dense trees. She asked everyone to stop first. If six people moved together, the conspicuousness would still be too big. She asked Xu Xizhen to scout to the left first, and Jin to go to the right to investigate the situation.
Even if the enemy situation cannot be detected, it can provide effective information for Tang Muwen to produce a topographic map of this area in the shortest time possible.
She put on Tang Muwen's intercom headphones to listen to what was going on.
As soon as he put it on, Feng Bu roared, "You are not allowed to retreat from the first line of defense! What will I do if you retreat again? I have reached the border point and there is no room for retreat!"
The sub-commander in charge of the first line of defense said helplessly, "It's not that we want to retreat, we have absolutely no ability to fight back. You need to send reinforcements so we can hold on."
"No reinforcements," Feng Bu refused flatly. "The people around me are here to protect me at the last moment. I can't provide you with any reinforcements. I don't care what happens to you. In short, the first line of defense cannot retreat a single step."
The situation on the front battlefield was not optimistic. Xu Lingqu took off her intercom headset. She was now racing against death. Every bit of resistance on the front battlefield was buying time for her.
She lowered her eyes and thought about her actions for a while.
"Deploying defenses but not sending reinforcements—this current Moye problem is a serious one. Students who prefer textbooks to practical application should take a good look at it. They're basically looking in the mirror." Professor Zhuang, having seen things through, relaxed and cheerfully complained to Colonel Ren and the audience about some of his students. "They prefer formulaic play. They're completely stubborn. They deploy the number of troops you're told to on the first line of defense, and don't even give you one more. And then they ask me how I could lose even though I clearly copied this famous general's playstyle."
Colonel Ren shook his head. "A person who has absolutely no ability to make on-the-spot decisions on the battlefield will never become an excellent commander... But Moye's new generation still has backbone."
Watching the live broadcast of the battle, none of the people on Moye's first line of defense retreated or ran away.
Thanks to Guan Chuanjun's idea of a good casualty ratio, Seabuckthorn's team was not allowed to advance directly. They struggled in vain in the hail of bullets until the last man, the sub-commander who asked Feng Bu for reinforcements, was killed. Only then was the first line of defense captured by Seabuckthorn.
Feng Bu was still questioning him in the channel, but the only answer he got was that the channel signal of all members of the first line of defense disappeared.
"I still remember that they had an internal conflict in the desert race last year, but this year they are surprisingly united. I believe there are still people in Moye who are worthy of their trust." Colonel Ren said with emotion.
[This kind of tragedy really makes me angry. Moye, this commander, is really a piece of shit.]
[Wait a minute, isn't this year's Moye Commander Xu Lingqu, the one everyone's been talking about on the forums? Who is this Feng Bu?]
[I'm a student at Moye, so I'll answer directly. The conductor on the field right now is Feng Bu, the son of our principal Feng Hui. He was last year's Moye Chief Conductor and was determined to win this year's Chief Conductor. Who knew Xu Lingqu would show up?]
[Oh~ The principal's son, I understand, I understand]
[Hey, where are all those people on the forum who were scolding Xu Lingqu for stealing Shen Shouli's position? Can you explain to me how Xu Lingqu, with his connections, could still be robbed of his command by the principal's son?]
[Can you Moye guys please stop arguing? No one cares about your little campus fights. All I know is that Sea Buckthorn has already used a flying dragon to attack his face. How can he lose?]
[Hehe, don't set too many flags in front of you, what if something happens? ]
