68. Storm Fortress (11)

Tian Luo faithfully continued: " Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I don't think that this is all their actions for the attack launched by the Yanhuang Clan now, and they will definitely have further actions, however, as far as I know about them, the Yanhuang Clan has extremely high wisdom in the war, and they are absolutely not inferior to our army in terms of strategy and tactics, therefore, I think that the Yanhuang Clan will have a greater conspiracy, because just defeating the three sides of our army's army group does not mean anything, such a battle does not fundamentally change their entire strategic situation, and they will only anger our army by doing so, and it will not do them any good。 The weak, take the initiative to pick the strong, this is not the work of a wise person. ”

Fierce Tiger Annihilation nodded again, this is true, only people whose heads have not been broken will not take the initiative to pick a person who is dozens of times stronger than him, even if he is forced to be miserable, unless he is forced to a dead end, although, under the strong military pressure of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, the environment of the Yanhuang Clan is not optimistic, but after all, it has not reached a dead end.

"If the Yanhuang clan wants to win this war, it is not just one or two battle victories, tactics must obey strategy, and this will never change. We can think about what the top leaders of the Yanhuang clan are thinking through analysis. Judging from the current situation, the Yanhuang clan is powerless to attack and have no way to retreat, unless they completely leave the Tianhu River system, otherwise, no matter where they flee, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of the imperial army, no, even if they escape from the Tianhu River system, the imperial army will also chase them to other river systems, in the face of a race with great potential, I think, the empire will not let them go. ”

"In the face of the pressure of the empire, if the Yanhuang clan wants to survive, there is only one way: delay time and use this time to become strong as soon as possible. But the empire will not give them any more time, besides, if the Yanhuang clan wants to rely on the cultivation system to gain the strength to compete with the empire, it is impossible to do it without tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years, so they can only use it to become strong in a short period of time, even if they can't reach the strength to compete with our army, they still have the strength to fight. Only in this way will it be possible to fundamentally change the strategic situation that is unfavorable to them. So, what can be done to make them strong in a short period of time?"

"There is only one answer, that is, as they did four hundred years ago, capture the equipment of our army and use it to strengthen themselves. Before our army was equipped with a space blockade system, use your advantage to rob our army's equipment. However, there is also a problem with this, of course, our army will not wait stupidly for them to rob it. Let's put it this way, as long as our army analyzes their intentions, our army can retreat, withdraw first, and then settle accounts with them after the space blockade system is installed, I think, the empire has been waiting for four hundred years, and it is not bad for this year or two. ”

Hearing Tianluo Zhongzhong's analysis, the nerves of the Fierce Tiger Annihilation suddenly tensed: "You mean, their purpose is to eat the seventy front army groups in our Western Theater, and take most of the equipment from them to arm themselves?" Yes, this is the only possible way for them to survive, if they can arm more than fifty front army groups, I think, the price that the empire will have to pay to conquer them will be very large, the scale of this war will expand by more than ten years, if they make some more storms in the empire, so that the empire can not free up its hands to deal with them, then they may drag on for another one or two hundred years, and at that time, they may really develop the strength of hundreds of front army groups. If this is the case, although the overall strength of the empire is still far above them, they already have the strength to fight. ”

"But it is impossible for them to keep the seventy front army groups in our own theater, do they have such a big appetite? Do they have such a great ability to swallow my seventy front army groups?" Fierce Tiger Annihilation said with some skepticism, Tianluo's loyal analysis is very reasonable, and it is also in line with the long-term interests of the Yanhuang clan, but the Yanhuang clan must have such strength if they have such an idea.

Tianluo's loyal expression became very serious: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I think that many of us have made the same mistake and have despised the Yanhuang clan too much. If it were me, I would first lay down the Storm Fortress and separate the imperial army from the empire itself, so that the army in the entire western theater would become a lone army, and the strength of the seventy front army groups was a lot, but the battle of Tianshui was already very revealing, our army lost the strength of six front armies, but the Yanhuang clan only lost the strength of one front army, and the losses were mostly warships, and the casualties of the soldiers were limited, but they also captured the equipment of the three front armies of our army, so that after the first battle, their strength was not weakened, on the contrary, there were two more front armies。 This is just one battle, and if there are a few more such battles, then they may have one more front army group, and in the long run, our army will become weaker and weaker, and they will become stronger and stronger. Under the circumstances, it is really possible that they will swallow up all the troops in our western theater within a year or two. ”

Tianluo's loyal words were like a basin of ice water falling on the head of the Fierce Tiger Extermination, which stimulated him to tremble all over: "Fight the Storm Fortress and destroy my Western Theater Army?"

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, we should contact Stormstorm Fortress, maybe something has happened to Stormwind Fortress by now. "Impossible, Storm Fortress is a fortress that will never fall, with the strength of the Yan Huang Clan, there is absolutely no way to capture Storm Fortress. The Fierce Tiger Extinction said this, but doubts inevitably arose in his heart.

"I think it's better to be safe, and it doesn't hurt to get in touch. "Okay, I'll send you. "Yes, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief. "Tianluo is more than happy to accept such a task.

Fifteen days later, a small fleet reached the southwest of Storm Fortress, which was the small detachment commanded by Tianluo Zhongzhong. Seeing the logistics supply ships and other warships coming and going in the wormhole outside the fortress normally, nothing was abnormal. Tianluo's loyal deputy said, "Tianluo staff, everything is normal in Storm Fortress. "Under normal conditions, there may not be no abnormalities. Stop me a few boats and ask. Be careful not to let the people in the fortress know about it. "Understood. ”

After interrogating more than a dozen merchant ships and logistics supply ships in the past, Tianluo faithfully commanded the small fleet and stayed in the Storm Fortress for another five days to observe, and then went back, along the way, his face sank so much that the little white face was almost black.

At the highest-level meeting of the whole army, Tianluo Zhongzhong, a small lieutenant colonel staff officer, was able to attend it, and the extermination of the fierce tiger made a great effort, but he was already ready to vigorously promote Tianluo Zhongzhong, this young man was indeed a very good talent.

After saluting the dozens of marshals present, Tianluo said: "Your Excellency, by the order of the commander-in-chief, I have already gone to the Stormwind Fortress to observe, and through interrogating the merchant ships passing and observing, I can already be ninety percent sure that the Stormwind Fortress has fallen. ”

One of the marshals said, "How do you know that the Storm Fortress has fallen if you haven't gone deep into the interior?" "Your Excellency, when I interrogated the merchant ships passing by, none of them were blackmailed by the patrolling soldiers, which in itself is very abnormal. I think it may not be clear to you that in the past, the merchant ships that passed through the storm fortress would definitely be extorted by the soldiers guarding the fortress, and one more merchant ship even had to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan in tolls, but in the past ten days, none of these merchant ships have to receive tolls, what does this mean?"

To tell the truth, these high-ranking marshals really didn't know that they still had to pay tolls when they passed by Stormstorm Fortress, so one of the marshals asked a little puzzled: "Do you have to pay for the ships passing by Stormwind Fortress?" "Your Excellency Marshal, this is not clear to you, the officers and soldiers stationed in the fortress regard the fortress as a tool to make money, they are stationed in the fortress, there is no other income except their own salary, and there is no place to make meritorious contributions, therefore, they have the idea of passing merchant ships, under the pretext of various checks, etc., to charge some fees to merchant ships, this is already an unwritten rule, of course, when our army crosses, those officers and soldiers are not crazy enough to dare to collect tolls from us, plus more than half of these tolls will fall into the wallets of officers at all levels in the fortress, therefore, the officers are also blind and will not care。 This has been the rule for hundreds of years, but why would the rules suddenly change? Obviously, the fortress has changed owners. ”

"That alone is not enough to say that the fortress has fallen. "Also, after observing for five days, I found that the number and number of patrols of the garrison fleet of the fortress are much less, in the past, the officers and men of the garrison fleet of the fortress saw that patrolling was the best opportunity to make a fortune, and they all vied to come out to patrol, so to speak, the storm fortress is the most heavily patrolled area, but now, the density of patrols is not as good as one-third of what it used to be, what does this mean?"

The faces of all the marshals sank, which means that the fortress has fallen, and only a race with insufficient troops like the Yanhuang clan will relax their patrols, and they will not charge tolls, thinking of the strategic situation after the fall of the storm fortress, all the marshals are not hairy in their hearts.

The commander of the 1168th Front Army Group, the one-star marshal of the Emperor Jue Tianming, asked in a deep voice: " Lieutenant Colonel Tianluo, there is no doubt that you are a very imaginative staff officer, but I don't understand, even if what you say is true, the Yanhuang clan has captured the storm fortress, and they want to wipe out all the troops in our western theater, but, don't forget, we have seventy front army groups, if our army does not retreat, but instead does something in the entire western theater, it is enough to destroy all the planets of the Yanhuang tribe, destroy all their production facilities and living facilities, etc., and wipe out their war potential in one fell swoop, can they afford such a big loss?”

"Your Excellency Marshal of the Heavens, I think this is the most fundamental reason why we despise the Yanhuang Clan. Indeed, our army can destroy everything in the Yanhuang clan when we have the greatest advantage, destroying their war potential, a loss that no race can bear. Therefore, we subconsciously did not think that the Yanhuang would adopt this strategic scheme. ”
