Chapter 114: Encircling a Point and Attacking Reinforcements Textbook 3
Renault was sweating profusely at this moment, and he and the deputy commander looked at each other, but neither of them could say a word.
After he realized that his idea of keeping himself safe was completely wrong, he had actually expected that Moye and Cimei would definitely come after him later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
After all, this is just a five-point point. According to common sense, they should first cause trouble for Dongwen and Zhicheng.
Renault sighed. He didn't know how many people they had sent. No matter how many people they sent, he felt nervous. After all, although they had a hundred people, the quality of each soldier was there. Even with the protection of the energy shield, as long as the number of the opponent exceeded 70, Renault would have no confidence at all.
"Commander..." the deputy commander spoke hesitantly.
"You don't have to say anything." Renault waved his hand. He knew what he had to do now and immediately started the request to establish a communication channel with Xu Lingqu.
At this time, the defenders of Dongwen Fortress Point 2, who had finally mustered up the courage to take a gamble on whether they could create a miracle, were killed as soon as they showed up. 13 of the 40 people were gone.
The sub-commander who survived the disaster luckily retreated with his men and hurriedly activated the energy shield, frantically calling for the Wild Sun Spring.
Xu Lingqu was sitting in the command vehicle. At this time, there was continuous artillery fire outside the vehicle. He asked Cimei's people to lead the test of the energy shield's firepower tolerance. Once they could accurately measure it, the energy shield would be like a light bulb to them, and they could turn it off at will.
Yunyao, sitting next to her, sighed, "It's a good thing I came to support you. If we were huddled in the fortress and bombarded like this, I would be suffocated to death."
"If you hadn't come, we might not have been able to drive others away." Xu Lingqu stated the objective facts.
"That's not necessarily true. I feel like your one versus three is actually three heroes versus Chen Bu..."
"Who?" Xu Lingqu was startled and interrupted Yunyao. "Chen Bu?"
"Yes, Chen Bu, what's wrong?" Yun Yao was curious.
“…Who are those three heroes?” Xu Lingqu asked after calming down the shock in his heart.
"Sanying... no one told me." Yunyao was stumped for a moment, feeling very strange. "Hey, now that you ask this, it seems there is something wrong. Who is this Chen Bu? I have never heard of him. Why do you say this to him..."
Xu Lingqu fell silent. Interstellar humans didn't know the story of the Princess and the Pea, but they knew the battle between the three heroes and Lu Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, they had inexplicably tampered with people's surnames and didn't even recognize Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
Is this true for a single empire, or is it true for the entire galaxy?
She wanted to ask again, but at this moment, Renault's communication request popped up.
As expected, Xu Lingqu agreed to his request, and Renault's hesitant voice came from the other side.
"Commander Xu, I'm sorry."
Xu Lingqu said nothing, and Renault became even more panicked.
"I was confused from the beginning. I thought we couldn't help you much, so I just left. I've realized my mistake. I guess there will be a lot of people who hate me now." Renault smiled bitterly, "But my original intention was to hope that Stuoke wouldn't be at the bottom, not to say that I had any objection to Moye..."
Xu Lingqu listened quietly to him confessing himself. With the sound of gunfire outside, Renault spoke until his mouth was dry and he finally finished. He felt even more uneasy when he heard the sound of gunfire from Xu Lingqu's side.
As expected, they did not miss out on attacking Dong Wen and Zhicheng!
The sound of gunfire outside the car also ended at this moment. They had mastered the fire power needed to break the energy shield. Yunyao changed her voice maliciously and pretended to be reporting to Xu Lingqu.
"Congratulations, Commander. The fortress point has been captured."
Renault's heart was beating wildly.
"So since you're here to apologize to me and beg for mercy, shouldn't you show your attitude and sincerity?" Xu Lingqu finally spoke.
When Renault heard her say that, he felt very conflicted: "We only have a five-point fortress point."
Xu Lingqu said directly: "If you want us not to attack you, then I will need 70 of Stuke's men plus 80% of your heavy firepower."
Renault was shocked. Xu Lingqu's demands were outrageous. How was this any different from pawning them to him? The final score was still based on points plus headcount. How was Xu Lingqu any different from simply asking for their lives?
"This is too much. It's equivalent to you recruiting us. We also need points to support the final ranking." Renault said in confusion, and he knew very well in his heart that Xu Lingqu took Stuke's soldiers over most of the time to use them as a suicide squad.
But he couldn't stand on the moral high ground to accuse her, as he himself had dragged all the Stoke students into desertion.
"You think I'm asking for too much, but this is actually the lowest level I can accept after careful consideration." Xu Lingqu said directly, "If you don't want to give it to me, then I can only fight on my own. For me, it's better to eliminate one person first. As long as I'm not at the bottom, it's fine. Don't you think so too?"
"Uh..." Renault wiped the sweat from his forehead in panic.
"I asked you to send men to join the attack on Dongwen and Zhicheng. You think I'm using your soldiers to draw fire, but in reality, you're the ones who benefit, aren't you?" Xu Lingqu continued. "According to your thinking, you simply don't want Si Tu Ke to be the last one standing. In other words, you've defined Dongwen and Zhicheng as your main opponents, and you must defeat them."
"Every time I eliminate Dongwen and Zuozhi's troops, I'm actually narrowing the gap between you and them. A simple request like this, not being at the bottom, will soon be granted." Xu Lingqu switched from this channel to the normal channel and informed the soldiers about to attack the fortress: "Once you enter the fortress, maintain absolute vigilance until all Dongwen defenders are annihilated."
She then switched back to replying to Renault: "Finally, in my plan, I can give you 10 points for free. You can decide whether to do this deal or not."
Renault was very thoughtful. He sighed and finally agreed to Xu Lingqu's high proposal. He asked the deputy commander to integrate the team and count the heavy firepower equipment, and then send this "big gift" to the wandering Cimei Moye team.
Renault finally agreed reluctantly, and Xu Lingqu directly informed Jin: "Now it's your turn to take the stage. Wait for Renault to hand over the men and weapons to you for command."
"Hmm." Jin was stunned for a moment: "Hmm? No way, what did you do to make Renault just give you weapons and people?"
"I said a few words." Xu Lingqu replied: "Hurry up! We are about to launch the next round of attack."
Yunyao was a little confused: "Are we pretending to surround and then really fighting this time, or are we really surrounding and then pretending to fight?"
"At this time, it's Tansen Meilin's turn to guess."
