Chapter 99 Throwing a stone to test the waters, finding a way out
Xu Xizhen, who was scouting to the left, soon brought back the news.
"They set up an ambush on that relatively easy-to-travel road. Seabuckthorn's S-rank individual soldier, Pengyue, was there. I saw her from a distance and immediately hid. I circled around to make sure I wasn't discovered or followed, and then I came back."
Xu Xizhen had a talent for scouting, and her eyes lit up. "We didn't fall into their ambush. They must be getting anxious now, right?"
Jin, who was scouting to the right, also came back and got the news that there was no ambush point set up on the right, but there were Seabuckthorn's people patrolling.
Guan Chuanjun predicted that they would choose to attack from the left rear, so he set up an ambush there.
This operation is normal. After all, the main force is still fighting in the front, and there must be personnel protection around the command point. There are only a hundred people in total who can be mobilized. He can withdraw personnel to ambush in the left rear, which means he has gained a huge advantage in the front.
"They will be anxious, but we are the ones who are more anxious right now." Xu Lingqu pondered for a moment and made a decision, "We must take the initiative to enter their ambush point now."
"Ah?" Xu Xizhen was confused.
"He sent the S-rank soldier Pengyue to ambush us at the ambush point, didn't he? After successfully ambushing the enemy, Pengyue will definitely be transferred back to his side to protect the command point. This is the fastest way for us to find him directly."
Just as Feng Bu was reluctant to let Wang Qihu leave his side, it is a commander's instinct to ensure that there are reliable people protecting him on the battlefield, especially a commander who is under the conditions of a decapitation victory.
The fact that Guan Chuanjun was able to mobilize Pengyue to ambush directly shows that he has a big heart.
"We're now disguising ourselves as the most common infiltration and circuitous tactics, dispersing our actions and attacking multiple locations to create chaos in their post-war areas." Xu Lingqu took the basic topographic map drawn by Tang Muwen and began to divide the areas for the men. "Let Guan Chuanjun guess that our goal is to penetrate and cut off the enemy, conducting guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines rather than decapitation."
Liu Zheng wondered, "Will he recall troops from the front lines after making such a guess?"
"No, the purpose of making him speculate like this is to make him more certain that we are going to behead him, thus making him feel uneasy." She pointed at Shen Shouli and said, "You are the most important. After Jin and you take the initiative to enter the ambush area, you must break out alone and quickly move towards Liu Zheng and Xi Zhen's position."
"After defeating Jin, Shen Shouli is still alive. With the psychological preparation we gave Guan Chuanjun before, he should have called Pengyue back to a position near Guan Chuanjun to stand guard. After confirming Guan Chuanjun's safety, he will lead his men to encircle Shen Shouli, Liu Zheng, and Xizhen." Xu Lingqu glanced at the others, "As for me, I will personally behead Guan Chuanjun after finding out his whereabouts."
In this situation where the enemy is hidden and we are in the light, the enemy is numerous and we are few, all they can do is to test the waters and have absolute faith in their own abilities and the abilities of their teammates.
The communication channel was occupied by Feng Bu, and they were unable to communicate and improve the plan temporarily during the entire process. This time, Xu Lingqu's command must be completed without any error.
"Believe in yourself and your teammates. There is nothing we can't accomplish by ourselves."
Her voice was neither loud nor passionate, but in this time of crisis, she infused others with a calm and firm strength.
The decapitation plan, a trial by fire, was officially implemented.
Xu Lingqu took Tang Muwen with him.
"Don't you think I will hold you back?" Tang Muwen asked, pursing his lips as he looked at the girl in front of him.
"Do you really need to pretend in front of me?" Xu Lingqu looked back at him and continued to move forward. She wanted to take Tang Muwen to the place where Xu Xizhen had detected Pengyue's movements.
"Hmm?" Tang Muwen's heart skipped a beat.
"I don't know what your purpose is or what you want to test from me. Although I hate you, I need you now. If you insist on pretending, you can leave now." She and Tang Muwen didn't have much personal relationship. In her current judgment, Tang Muwen's real level was better than Lin Xiao, so she chose to take him with her.
"...It's so annoying... Is this the reason why you don't want to reply to the message I sent you?" Tang Muwen relaxed a little and looked at Xu Lingqu.
"I thought that people who have covered themselves with many layers of disguise would not care about these things." Xu Lingqu saw Pengyue's figure. She should have noticed that someone was approaching her ambush position.
Tang Muwen's eyes flashed, but in the end he said nothing and hid himself with Xu Lingqu.
Guan Chuanjun sat at the command post, listening to the report on the channel. They had won a great victory on the front battlefield. They had broken through Moye's second line of defense with only ten casualties, while 60 people on Moye's side had been clearly killed.
He was in a good mood, but then came the bad news.
After the battle, someone opened fire on them and two artillerymen were killed on the spot in one artillery position.
Is this the purpose of Shen Shouli and the others' circuitous intrusion?
But what's the point of killing two artillerymen now? It can't change the situation on the front battlefield at all. Guan Chuanjun shook his head, and became more convinced that their purpose of the circuitous movement was to behead him.
"Pengyue, after successfully ambushing them, immediately return to defend and be on guard."
He wanted to see how these people would escape from his arrangement.
At this time, Skynet's director finally noticed the movements behind Seabuckthorn and quickly cut the camera to this side.
Professor Zhuang hesitated for a moment. "Mo Xie and the others have indeed infiltrated the enemy's rear, but why are they dispersing now? Shouldn't they form small teams and start guerrilla warfare against Sea Buckthorn... And why do I see two of them heading towards Sea Buckthorn's ambush point?"
Colonel Ren was silent for a moment, his tone filled with admiration. "It's pointless for Mo Xie to conduct guerrilla warfare now. After all, the losses on the front lines are so heavy... So their purpose in dispersing wasn't to conduct infiltration, but to test Guan Chuanjun's location through some actions."
Throwing a stone to test the water may lead to a chance of survival.
Moye was beaten so badly on the front battlefield that every one of Moye's students had a bad expression after coming out of the competition cocoon cabin, but after they recovered, they all walked up to the three teachers and said.
"We haven't retreated a single step."
Just as Kion had taught them during the special training these days, no matter what happened, they would not fight among themselves, but would defend their positions and would never surrender or retreat until the last man standing.
The three of them reached out and hugged the students. At the same time, Xu Lingqu appeared in the Skynet live broadcast for the first time.
She followed Pengyue silently, and her concealment was so good that even an S-level soldier was unaware of her.
Su Li looked at Xu Lingqu's figure, his eyes full of disbelief.
Why did she still want to win? Even if she won, it wouldn't be under Feng Bu's command, and they were right. But if Feng Hui was a little more shameless, he could still use this to cling to the position of commander-in-chief for a long time.
The eyes of the Moye students who had been eliminated beside Su Li lit up, especially the freshmen who were in the trial period.
Their sacrifice and stubborn resistance in Seturi were not in vain, which was more important than anything else.
