40. Xuanwu War (6)

In the face of the surging emotions of the low-ranking officers and men, the high command also had to comfort them, how to comfort them? If it was a head-on battle, the officers and men would not have such a strong sense of resistance, but such a mysterious enemy was terrifying, yes, it was the fear that came from the bottom of the heart, such an enemy was really terrible, you don't know when they would appear by your side to give you a fatal blow, you don't know what they are, and not everyone can calm down in the face of the threat of death.

Therefore, the headquarters also had to order the army to retreat, first withdraw and then say, in addition, because the Heavenly Tiger Army had to form a group, it was only assembled in a few galaxies, so that there would be no sufficient local supplies in the occupied area, and the supplies had to be transported from the rear.

Sun Tzu has a saying in the Art of War: "Therefore, the wise general will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty minutes; "Well, now that we can't get supplies from the spot, the pressure of logistics and transportation is not ordinarily large, even if it is food, what is needed is an astronomical amount of transportation, so even the pressure of logistics is enough to suppress the Tianhu Army.

The logistics supply characteristics of the Tianhu Army are generally to capture a galaxy, and then, build a production base, anyway, the Tianhu Empire has people, manpower can be pulled from the rear at any time, how many or how much, when the logistics base is built, it can provide all kinds of supplies for the troops on the front line, but this time, because of the attack of the mysterious enemy, all the occupied galaxies cannot build a logistics base at all, so that all the supplies need to be transported from the rear, so it is no wonder that the transportation pressure is not great.

The pressure of transportation is high, and the huge manpower and material resources of the Tianhu Army can still afford it, after all, the Tianhu Empire has people and some transport ships, even if the transport ships are not enough, countless merchant ships can be drawn from the private sector to support it, so there is no need to worry about the lack of transportation capacity. However, when the mysterious enemy appeared on the logistics supply line, the command of the sweeping army had to consider the possibility of the supply line being cut off, although the mysterious enemy only appeared twice on the supply line, and the transportation troops of the Tianhu Army did not suffer much losses, but the panic caused by it could not be eliminated.

Because of this, the high command of the sweeping army had to order the troops to retreat, first retreat and retreat, and at the same time, shorten their own logistical supply lines, as long as there are no problems with the supply lines, everything will be easy. The merit is high but the driver is saved, and the poison is not the food, this is the words of the Yanhuang Clan, the Heavenly Tiger Empire does not have this sentence, but the absence of this sentence does not mean that the people of the Heavenly Tiger Empire do not understand this truth, in the universe, there has never been a hungry army that can win a battle.

In the past six months, the general command has not only eaten, they have also discussed a little reason, for this mysterious enemy still did not even catch a shadow, but it does not mean that they are completely ignorant, inform the staff and the marshals of the analysis, they got the following information.

1. The enemy's stealth technique is very powerful. With the Celestial Tiger Empire's radar technique, there is no way to find out the enemy's location, the enemy can appear where he wants to appear, and he can disappear at any time when he wants to disappear, and the enemy's stealth technique is really strong to the point of defying the sky.

Second, the enemy's intelligence capability is very strong, every appearance of the enemy army is to correct the key point of the Tianhu Army, either the patrol force of the Tianhu Army, or when the Tianhu Army is carrying out tasks, every time if the small unit of the Tianhu Army is alone, it is impossible without sufficient intelligence support.

Third, the enemy's combat effectiveness is very strong, it should have some kind of skill that the Heavenly Tiger Army does not know, otherwise, it is impossible to annihilate a large number of Heavenly Tiger Army in a short period of time, at least, the enemy army has the strength to completely annihilate the Heavenly Tiger Army in two or three aspects within a few hours, such strength is already very strong, at least, in the history of the Heavenly Tiger Army, there has never been such a strong enemy.

Fourth, the overall strength of the enemy army should not be very strong. If the strength of the enemy army is strong enough, the Heavenly Tiger Army has been defeated by now, and the enemy army does not need to play a game of hide and seek with the Heavenly Tiger Army.

Fifth, the command of the enemy army is very shrewd, not greedy at all, every time he is absolutely sure of the attack, and retreats immediately after the battle, so as not to give the Heavenly Tiger Army the slightest opportunity. The enemy is strong and it is not terrible, what is terrible is that the other party has a shrewd and rational commander, a reckless lion and a cunning fox, I believe that everyone is willing to face a reckless lion and does not want to face a cunning fox, but now the enemy has the strength of a lion and the cunning of a fox.

There are many more, but, based on this information, there is still no way to find a way to deal with the enemy, and get the supreme commander of the sweeping army, the commander of the 1201st Front Army, the one-star marshal Tianhu Tiefeng, slapping the table and scolding his subordinates: "You are really stupider than pigs." However, scolding and scolding, he is also the same.

Although the Heavenly Tiger Army has retreated, but the days are still not good, or from time to time by the enemy attack, until they retreated more than 500,000 light years away, retreated to their nearest supply base, with the help of a perfect reconnaissance system, this group of mysterious enemies has never appeared again, to confirm that the enemy has really completely disappeared is already in September 157 of the cosmic calendar.

From April 156 to September 157, for a full year and a half, the Tianhu Army suffered a heavy defeat, the number of direct losses of the army was as high as five front army groups, and a large number of galaxies that had been occupied were forced to vomit out, and the galaxies that had established a certain foundation were all abandoned, so to speak, the Tianhu Army was equivalent to two years of hard work in vain, and lost manpower and material resources I don't know how much Lu Dao, for which Tianhu Tiefeng was scolded by the emperor of the Tianhu Empire to the bloody head, and almost dismissed, but fortunately, he was powerful in the Tianhu Empire, and he was the emperor's cousin, so it was okay。

However, under the threat of the mysterious enemy, the Heavenly Tiger Empire's sweeping army was still unstable for a while, and it was impossible to attack again, before figuring out what kind of person this mysterious enemy was, I was afraid that these officers and soldiers were not so bold to go to the battlefield, after all, in this war, the number of generals who had lost a full five front army groups, the number of generals killed in the battle had reached seventy, hundreds of generals, thousands of generals below the rank of lieutenant general, and senior officers were all killed, and their small soldiers still had life support。 Therefore, I am afraid that the sweeping army will stop for a few years.

Where did such a mysterious enemy come from, and because what was it that was against the Heavenly Tiger Empire? The Intelligence Department of the Heavenly Tiger Empire invested a lot of manpower and material resources to find clues, but as a result, it was still a blank slate, and this mysterious enemy did not even have a shadow at all, as if it had never appeared, and this made the bigwigs of the Intelligence Department under tremendous pressure from the Military Department, and when they saw the eyes of the families of those officers who died in battle, they wanted to eat people, and the people of the Intelligence Department had a hard time.

In December 157, the Ministry of Intelligence synthesized the situation of all parties, and sent a message to the garrison of the Winged Actress to ask for their opinions. Although Tianhu Tiezhi already has an independent heart, it is not without independence now, so he still invited a group of generals to ask if they have heard of this mysterious enemy.

The generals talked a lot, but they didn't have a clue, but they saw the wind iron armor smiling silently. Tianhu Tiezhi asked curiously: "Your Excellency, looking at Your Excellency's expression, it seems that you have some understanding of this mysterious enemy. ”

Tempest Iron Armor smiled: "Prince Tiefeng was frightened by the enemy, but he didn't analyze it carefully, but the result was that the enemy chased a loophole, this mysterious enemy is actually not mysterious, if I guessed correctly, they should be our old opponent Yan Huang Clan's troops in the Xuanwu Star Region." ”

Everyone was shocked: "Your Excellency Tempest, how is this possible? The Yanhuang Clan is hundreds of millions of light-years away from the sweeping army in the Xuanwu Star Region, how can they reach it? Besides, we have 13 army groups guarding in front of the Xuanwu Fortress Group, and their strength is already insufficient, so how dare they mobilize a large army to fight our sweeping army? It is absolutely impossible. ”

Desolate Tiger Zhen also asked a little incomprehensibly: "Your Excellency Tempest, you said that this mysterious enemy is the Yanhuang Clan, I don't know what evidence there is in the Dao?" Of course, Desolate Tiger Zhen doesn't really know if there is any evidence in the Iron Armor of the Tempest Iron Armor Now these two people are grasshoppers on the same rope, so they naturally deliberately raise the Iron Armor of the Tempest.

Tempest Iron Armor said: "Of course I don't have direct evidence in my hands, I just guessed some clues to guess, as everyone said just now, it is impossible for the Yanhuang clan to reach the front line of the sweeping army, it is precisely because everyone thinks it is impossible, so this is the most likely thing." General Sun Tiejian, the commander of the Yanhuang Clan, just thought that everyone would think so, thinking that the Yanhuang army was already in the Xuanwu Fortress and couldn't move, so he didn't know what method Lu Dao used, transferred the army out of Lu, passed through the wormhole that didn't know where Lu Dao led, and then arrived at the battlefield on the side of the sweeping army, giving our sweeping army a heavy blow, so bold. ”

From the Xuanwu Fortress Group to the front line of the sweeping army, the distance in the middle is more than 100 million light years, more than 100 million light years, think about it is a terrifying distance, even with the space jumping technique of the Tianhu Army warship, it will not take a few years to reach such a distant place, in the case that his own defense line is facing the enemy's heavy troops, and it is possible to attack at any time, the commander actually dares to put most of his troops (of course, the Tianhu soldiers would never have imagined that Sun Tiejian did not transfer most of the troops, but transferred all the formed troops out of the army, during this time, there was no warship in the Xuanwu Fortress Group to defend。 Transferred to such a distant place to start a war, the entire fortress is basically empty, and he really doesn't know if he is bold or stupid to do this. The risk was too much.

It is precisely because everyone thinks that Sun Tiejian does not dare to do it, Sun Tiejian just did it, therefore, it happened for so long, no one thought that this mysterious enemy would be the Yanhuang clan, if he had known the Dao and launched an attack on the army of the Xuanwu Fortress Group, he would have already captured the Xuanwu Fortress Group in the morning. After all, no matter how strong the defense of the Xuanwu Fortress Group is, but without the defense of the fleet, there is no mobile force, there is not enough mobile force, and the power of the fortress is reduced by at least half, which is the best opportunity to break through the Xuanwu Fortress Group.
