Chapter 1374: Whose Deer Falls
Chapter 1374: Whose Deer Falls
Lou listened to Ji You’s brief explanation and suddenly saw the light. At that moment, as he looked at Yue Qiguang, who seemed to have a great "advantage", he felt quite complicated inside.
Although Yue Qiguang appeared to hold the advantage, he had actually already fallen into Sheng Qingyan’s "lure the enemy into a trap", and when the two sides faced off, just as Ji You said, it was uncertain whose victory it would be.
Lou rubbed his chin and said, "Ah! These two are really like two equally matched players in a chess game; even if they have to battle, it will definitely be an exhilarating fight, unlike me—"
At this, Lou felt very frustrated. He glanced at Ji You, who was still intently focused on the screen. Ji You sensed something and turned around: "Unlike you what?"
Lou put on a straight face and said, "Unlike me being so handsome."
Ji You mercilessly exposed his disguise, saying, "Unlike you being so dumb, perhaps?"
Lou: "..."
Lou pouted and said, "Competing with you is no fun. I won’t compete with you anymore."
Ji You chuckled and said, "Alright then, I’ll let you win from now on."
Lou: "..."
Lou felt pretty troubled.
The showdown between himself and Ji You couldn’t even be called a showdown. It was like an adult beating a child, purely oppressive.
Ahem...
Lou put on a serious face and stubbornly said, "Hmph! I don’t need you to let me win."
Ji You suddenly spoke up, "Shh——"
Lou immediately stopped.
At the same time, both turned towards the screen.
On the screen, Yue Qiguang, who was gradually moving deeper into the enemy territory, wasn’t foolish. He already understood that what he was doing was like walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff, very risky.
Despite encountering fierce resistance from the enemy, after Yue Qiguang led his army to successfully capture another stronghold, the morale of the entire team soared!
The army’s morale was high, and everyone was roaring enthusiastically to continue attacking the next stronghold.
Affected by this fiery atmosphere, even all the think tanks behind Yue Qiguang couldn’t help but want to set out immediately. However, as the chief commander—Yue Qiguang, he was uncharacteristically a bit silent.
After a brief silence, Yue Qiguang’s most important deputy, the real ’beautiful girl’ of Battalion 7, Xia Dandan himself, needs to be highlighted here. Xia Dandan is a guy, a rough-and-tumble iron man not at all associated with beauty. Precisely because of the lovely name ’Xia Dandan,’ he had his original name adopted by Yue Qiguang from the start.
Ahem... We’ll skip those details.
After waiting for a while, seeing Yue Qiguang still showing no reaction, Xia Dandan tugged at his short black hair and said with urgency on his rugged, flamboyant face: "Commander, now that our morale is high, let’s push on and attack the next stronghold in one fell swoop?"
Hearing this, Yue Qiguang pondered for a moment and then waved his hand, saying: "Wait for now."
Xia Dandan was slightly confused: "Why? According to our plan, as long as we capture the outpost in the Northwest direction, we’ll have a campsite to settle. This area is high terrain, with great visibility, and is easy to both attack and defend. Once we take it, it’ll make personnel dispatch and supply transportation very convenient."
Xia Dandan’s tone became a bit anxious as he spoke: "We should take this place as soon as possible."
Their rapid assaults earlier were to quickly seize this land. Once they occupied this checkpoint, the whole area of Battalion 8 would truly become their own backyard, allowing free passage...
After Xia Dandan finished speaking, several key members next to Yue Qiguang turned their heads, waiting for Yue Qiguang to make a decision.
With all the power gathered, Yue Qiguang radiated a sense of high-spirited confidence, deserved because every decision and battle he led since entering the competition had resulted in great victories.
The key members around him and the vast army behind him were all conquered by his personal capabilities.
They all obeyed him.
Without any resistance.
Yue Qiguang squinted his eyes, watching the spreading light at dawn breaking across the horizon.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
Under everyone’s gaze, Yue Qiguang gently raised his hand and said: "What you said indeed makes sense. Our goal is to capture this place quickly. But I guess the enemy is surely quietly preparing a big gift for us ahead.
And this gift might cost us some manpower." He paused slightly and said, "Let daddy guess, he’s probably going to make me lose a third of my forces."
Ssss——
Some people gasped, but most of them continued to focus intently on Commander Yue Qiguang.
Xia Dandan’s heart tightened: "Are we still going to fight then?"
Yue Qiguang lowered his gaze and said, "Go for it!"
Huh?
Everyone’s hearts trembled, then they heard Yue Qiguang say: "This is an open strategy, but we have to step into it. Brothers, listen up, full attack——"
The enemy wants to take down a third of his troops?
Come on!
Let’s swap!
Let’s see who has the bigger bite, who takes more!
On his side, they must chew down half of the opponent’s main force!
By then, holding the fortress and surrounding Sheng Qingyan’s main army, with only a few of Sheng Qingyan’s men left, how could he still fight against him?
After Yue Qiguang gave the order, the army immediately set off towards their destination!
As the great battle between Battalion 7 and 8 was imminent, the outcome of this battle even affected the outcome of the entire faction battle, and in an instant, it drew the hearts of countless spectators outside the field.
Players’ dormitory.
Ji You sat upright, quietly watching the prelude to the upcoming battle. Beside him, Lou sat on the sofa a meter away, and when Yue Qiguang gave the order, the Battalion 7 army quickly set out, the scene was grand and inspiring——
Lou, tension tightening his heart, quickly stood up. Seeing that Ji You still sat calmly, he thought for a moment and moved a little closer to Ji You.
"Hey—" Lou moved a step forward, reached out, tugged Ji You’s sleeve, and asked, "4444, who do you think will win?"
"Who will win?" Ji You, hearing this, gently smiled and said, "Just keep watching."
Lou was stifled and rolled his eyes: "Aren’t I just trying to ask for your opinion?"
Ji You shook his head and said: "My opinion doesn’t matter, what matters is them on the field."
Lou: "..."
Lou let go of his hand and pouted: "This conversation is going nowhere."
Ji You squinted his eyes and said, "If I were Yue Qiguang, I wouldn’t issue an attack order so quickly. I’d make sure the retreat path is secured first."
"Hmm?" Lou was surprised: "You mean Yue Qiguang is going to lose then?"
But!
That doesn’t quite seem accurate.
Lou thought for a moment and said: "To be honest, as an observer, I find that his performance this time really opened my eyes, his progress is really fast."
