I Told You To Manage The Reserve Unit For Me Instead Of Turning It Into A Special Troop-Chapter 954 - 655: Showdown! (Two chapters combined)

Chapter 954: Chapter 655: Showdown! (Two chapters combined)

The old man’s face revealed a smile of satisfaction.

“Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t let you down,” he assured.

Qin Yuan responded with a confident smile of his own.

Qin Yuan rose to his feet, gave the old man a military salute, and left the room.

Outside, Green Snake and He Chenguang had been waiting for him for a while, bickering and joking as usual.

“So, what did the old gentleman tell you?”

Green Snake asked impatiently.

“Nothing much, just some nonsense,”

Qin Yuan said casually.

“What do you mean, nothing? You were in there for so long; he must have said something important,”

He Chenguang, standing nearby, didn’t believe Qin Yuan’s dismissive comment.

“Why would I lie to you? Am I that kind of person?!”

Qin Yuan was starting to get annoyed.

“We are here to discuss tactics, not to talk about other irrelevant things.”

“Don’t forget, our comrade Geng Hu is still in their hands!”

Qin Yuan said with a grave tone.

Hearing this, both fell silent.

Qin Yuan was right; they didn’t have the time or reason to discuss anything else. Geng Hu was somewhere in a dark corner, waiting for their rescue.

“So, have you thought of a plan?”

He Chenguang asked.

Qin Yuan nodded.

“If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have come looking for you.”

“This time we face them head-on,”

Qin Yuan answered gravely.

“Head-on?”

“You can’t be serious?! We, a few hundred people, going against thousands?”

Green Snake looked incredulous.

“Yeah, are you feverish? Or do you just feel too stifled fighting under pressure like this?”

He Chenguang also looked at Qin Yuan with a puzzled expression, full of confusion.

“Your views are all too one-sided,”

Qin Yuan said with a smile.

“You should know, what we lack the most right now is not soldiers, not combat strength, but a resounding victory.”

“I know you’re worried about our combat power, but I want to say that, although we’re flying the banner of an open and honest fight, that doesn’t prevent me from dispatching a small team to act as a strike force,”

Qin Yuan said, narrowing his eyes.

“Oh, there’s such a plan?”

He Chenguang said with a half-smile.

“Of course, all is fair in war, and we’re not going to be as naive as to take on the enemy in a head-to-head clash,”

Qin Yuan countered.

“So, what’s your arrangement then?”

They all knew that the real point of the discussion was coming.

“Well, after considering, I’ve decided… you will take on the task of leading the strike team,”

Qin Yuan said solemnly, looking at Green Snake.

“Me?”

Green Snake was surprised because he was used to operating alongside Qin Yuan, and the idea of leading a team on his own was somewhat unfamiliar.

However, he understood that Qin Yuan had to appear with the main forces, or else the opposition would surely become suspicious.

“Isn’t Captain He here as well? Why not let him undertake this important task?”

Green Snake inquired.

“Don’t worry, you all have your tasks, and I have another arrangement for his unable-to-move role,”

Qin Yuan said with a smile.

“What task? Why the secrecy?”

Green Snake asked, curious.

Having thought for a moment, Qin Yuan saw no problem with assigning tasks then and there, and spoke directly:

“I’m planning for him to track down Geng Hu’s whereabouts during the chaos of battle,”

Qin Yuan stated seriously.

“Hmm, you’re playing your cards pretty well.”

“Though we might not necessarily have the advantage on the battlefield, in the silent field of warfare, you are indeed a top-notch talent!”

Green Snake said, laughing.

Qin Yuan’s expression was stern, with no room to pay attention to his praise.

The time they had was not plentiful, it was now two o’clock in the afternoon, and he had to reorganize all his troops within half a day. They needed to set out by evening at the latest.

“I will lead the main forces to the front line to battle them, Green Snake will be responsible for leading a small team to disrupt the enemy’s rear, and He Chenguang will lead the second team to find Geng Hu’s location. Everyone has their own assignment; do you all understand?”

“Go back and get your troops in order, the operation begins promptly at dawn,”

Qin Yuan directed.

“Wait, how will our forces be distributed?”

He Chenguang hastily asked.

“Distribute freely, you decide for yourselves, I won’t direct your actions.”

“We only have a total strength of around three hundred. How about fifty to each small team, and the rest with Qin Yuan?”

He Chenguang suggested.

“Fine.”

Green Snake agreed readily.

“Then it’s decided, go back and get ready, we don’t have much time left,”

Qin Yuan stated.

Afterward, the three of them left the room and returned to the main camp.

Qin Yuan gathered all the soldiers with combat capacity in front of the formation.

“Soldiers! I know you have been exceptionally hard-pressed these past few days, but so have I! Exhausted in both body and spirit!”

“Please muster your last bit of energy, because the upcoming battle concerns the life and death of everyone here!”

“Today, there is a great possibility it will be our final showdown with Daybreak Organization!”

“We will divide into three teams! I will lead the main forces and initiate an attack on the enemy’s regular army!”

“Captain He and Green Snake will each lead a small team to ambush the enemy’s rear!”

“Do you all agree with this tactic?”

Qin Yuan asked the soldiers loudly.

Although he was the commander, and by rule, the troops should follow his orders without question, the situation was critical, and unity was essential. There was no need for Qin Yuan to be as stickled for protocol as before.
