The reason for the last defeat was very clear: it was due to his unfamiliarity with command.
When Zhu Shijiu was watching from the side, he thought that Bingbing Laogui's command was very simple, and he should be able to get the hang of it after getting familiar with it a few times. However, he did not expect that he would be so bad at actually performing on the spot. At least he felt that his command was very bad.
Of course, in the eyes of others this is already an unparalleled talent. Being able to reach this level in his first contact with command, Zhu Shijiu's performance is worthy of the title of genius.
But Zhu Shijiu was not satisfied.
Not to mention completely annihilating the alien insects, even zero casualties would be enough to satisfy him. Unfortunately, the death rate of the black soldiers reached 50%, which was a failure for him.
"Hey, were you listening carefully to what I said just now? I was teaching you, why were you distracted?"
The dissatisfied voice of the sick ghost came.
Zhu Shijiu finally reacted: "Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't listen carefully just now. You should have mentioned the 35th formation, right? Please continue."
The sickly ghost was silent for a while and expressed his concern about Zhu Shijiu's current condition.
Unfortunately, the team leader asked him to hand over the work to Zhu Shijiu, so he had to do it.
"Zhu Shijiu, let me tell you, if you insist on carrying out the bait plan and end up destroying the entire defense base, then you are a complete sinner!"
Zhu Shijiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."
“So don’t be distracted anymore…” The old ghost sighed helplessly.
In fact, Zhu Shijiu was not distracted just now. He was just reviewing his last command process. He started thinking after the replay and began to review all the mistakes he made in the previous round and all the details of his plan.
It was his routine operation to sort things out after each rollback. However, the command process was really complicated and he couldn't figure it out in a short period of time, so he was still thinking about it until he arrived at the command center. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking was regarded as distraction.
Zhu Shijiu just couldn't ask the sickly ghost about such practical operation questions, because it was purely due to his unfamiliarity with command. The simplest and most direct way for him to improve his command ability was to die more times.
However, what Zhu Shijiu did not expect was that he thought that this time the command would be like the previous two times, and the sickly man would go back to rest temporarily.
But the development of facts was beyond Zhu Shijiu's expectations. The tuberculosis ghost was first shocked that Zhu Shijiu could memorize all the handover work in just a few hours.
After being shocked, the sickly ghost thought about how Zhu Shijiu was distracted during the whole process. The shock in his heart was no match for his worry. He hesitated for a moment and did not leave, even though he was very tired now.
Zhu Shijiu was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you leaving?"
The sickly ghost shook his head: "No, I'm going to watch you command. I'm not very confident in your command ability. You know there is a gap between actual combat and theoretical basis."
"..." Zhu Shijiu never expected that his little distraction could lead to a change in the situation.
But... let the sickly ghost stay there. Anyway, Zhuo also believes that he can't succeed in one go. Since it's impossible to succeed in one go, let the sickly ghost watch the battle from the side. Maybe he can help and cooperate at the right time, which will increase the possibility of success.
Thinking of this, Zhu Shijiu no longer cared about the sickly man watching the game.
At about 13:30, Zhu Shijiu began to prepare.
The sickly ghost just watched at first, but halfway through he couldn't help but speak: "Wait... What do you mean by this place?"
He was referring to the operation in which Zhu Shijiu arranged for the black soldiers in Areas A and B to tie up the remaining cattle and sheep somewhere outside the defense base.
The tuberculosis ghost is different from the smoker. In the previous round, the smoker didn’t quite understand all of Zhu Shijiu’s operations, but the tuberculosis ghost understood almost all of them, except for this operation of Zhu Shijiu, which he didn’t quite understand.
"This is because we took into consideration that after the first attack, the black soldiers stationed at the defense base would be under too much pressure to fight, so we arranged some cattle and sheep here to attract the attention of the alien insects."
The sickly ghost rubbed his brows sickly and said, "Then I'm afraid your consideration will not come true."
Zhu Shijiu thought back to what happened in the previous round. He was so busy giving orders that he didn't notice whether the Zerg were attracted by the cattle and sheep. But after recalling the incident, he was embarrassed to find that he seemed to have no memory of it.
However, this also indirectly proves that his preparation did not work, otherwise he would not have neglected it to this extent.
The sickly ghost was right. The remaining cattle and sheep could not help the black soldiers in areas A and B relieve the combat pressure.
Zhu Shijiu humbly asked: "Why?"
"I understand your general plan. I have to say you are very bold. You directly divided the entire battlefield into three areas, and used cattle and sheep as bait to divert the alien insects..."
"... But unfortunately, some of the Zerg in the basin may really be left there as you planned, but I'm afraid that the Zerg that come to the defense base aggressively will not pay attention to the batch of cattle and sheep you prepared."
"The reason is simple, because cattle and sheep are just substitutes for black soldiers. If there is a choice, the Zerg will never hesitate between black soldiers and cattle and sheep. If both foods are placed in front of them, they will choose black soldiers without hesitation.
"The reason why the Zerg 'grievedly' accepted the cattle and sheep released into the basin was only because they had not taken advantage of us for a long time, so they had to settle for the next best thing."
"Also, the Zerg's IQ is not high, but they are not stupid. They can know through pheromones that you have divided the black soldiers, so they will naturally think that their chance has come. Do you think that the Zerg, who have attacked the defense base in one go, will 'set aside for the second best'?"
“…No.” Zhu Shijiu answered honestly.
The sickly man looked teachable, which helped him regain some of the confidence that had been shaken by Zhu Shijiu.
"That's right."
"So the remaining cattle and sheep are actually useless? We can only let them continue to stay in the defense base?"
The sickly ghost thought for a moment and said, "That's not the case. I think your overall plan is still very risky. Let's not talk about whether the insufficient number of cattle and sheep you put in will cause a riot among all the Zerg. Let's just assume that you can succeed. Let me ask you a question. How do you plan to command two battlefields at the same time?"
The two battlefields that the tuberculosis ghost refers to are naturally Area AB and Area C.
Zhu Shijiu actually already had the answer to this question in his mind, which was to solve one problem first by going back to the previous point, and then command the second battlefield when he could give various instructions without thinking. In this way, he could solve the command problems of both battlefields.
Zhu Shijiu would not answer like that, but said: "Of course, we should let the black soldiers in Area C resist with all their strength first..."
The sickly ghost laughed and interrupted directly: "Give me the cattle and sheep, and let me help you command the black soldiers in Area C. I can try to see if I can destroy the alien insects that the black soldiers in Area C are going to deal with after cutting off the alien insect flow."
Zhu Shijiu's heart was slightly shaken. Regardless of how confident the proposal of Bing Kugui was, another meaning was that he took the initiative to take responsibility for him. After all, this plan was proposed by Zhu Shijiu, and the leader of the command team had handed over all command authority to him. It could be said that what happened next had nothing to do with Bing Kugui.
Naturally, the final blame had nothing to do with him.
The sickly ghost could have just watched from the sidelines, but he chose to intervene. Although he was not optimistic about the plan, he still stood up...
The sickly ghost snorted coldly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for you!"
... Well, it's disgusting that a grown man can be so arrogant.
Zhu Shijiu laughed awkwardly twice: "Okay then, I'll give you the remaining cattle and sheep, which means I only need to deal with the black soldiers in areas A and B, and the black soldiers in area C will be left to you."
"Alas." Zhu Shijiu heard the tuberculosis ghost sigh.
Sure enough, this guy still didn't believe in his plan.
…
14:00, the program started on time.
After all, this was his third actual combat command. Zhu Shijiu skillfully commanded the special operations brigade to release estrus gas and then evacuate.
The first challenge he faced was to command the special operations brigade to resist the Zerg until the black soldiers from Zone C came to support him.
What kind of answer will he give this time
