Chapter 272: Farce
The hydra surprisingly didn't make a move on the convoy, much to the confusion of the canopy.
At first, it was okay, although the nine-headed insect didn't make a move, the Tianhe water army could at least sense that the nine-headed insect was nearby. As long as the enemy does not give up, then they have a reason to hold on. But the problem is that after a day, they can't even see the shadow of the hydra.
"Did you really give up?" thought to Tencanopy, frowning.
Judging from the fact that the Hydra would follow the convoy for a distance at the beginning, Canopy could at least conclude that the Hydra had not given up, and the current situation could only show that the other party was cautious at best.
Fishing, it's all about patience.
Against the influence of public opinion, Tianpeng is determined to carry out this "fishing" operation.
As a result, the core combat power of the Tianhe Water Army, those heavens above the Individualized God Realm, were divided into four groups, and they were transported back and forth between the Cloud Domain Sky Harbor and the Guanyun Sky Harbor.
At the beginning, the generals were very cooperative, after all, everyone knows the current situation. But after a long time, most of them feel like a joke.
Think about it, these generals, who are the commanders of the first army, were summoned and thrown into the cramped cabin of the ship, saying that they were going to set up an ambush. Everyone must have tensed their nerves for the first day or two, waiting for the attacker to appear. What about after two days?
Nothing happened, and faintly, the generals began to question such a strategy. Of course, due to the high authority of the canopy, they must not dare to say it.
Immediately after, three, four, five, six, seven days passed, and nothing happened.
The generals, who are still in the cabin and being transported around like cargo, have become resistant to this pig-like life. Of course, they still didn't dare to openly question the canopy, so they began to openly ridicule their miserable state of life. Curse the damned hydra at the same time.
The canopy still insisted. So the "fishing" operation continued.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. There were still no new attacks. At this time, all kinds of complaints had been euphemistically written into military newspapers and placed on the desk of the canopy.
Looking at the ten military reports that were sent from the cabin, Tianpeng thought about it and finally decided to personally approve it to show appeasement.
However, his decision was clearly wrong.
After being appeased by him, this kind of military repercussion did not cease, but intensified as if encouraged. Think about it, the hundreds of generals who were left in the cabin every day in addition to teasing and farting, if they didn't change their ways to complain to the canopy. What else can they do?
And so, a funny scene appeared.
In the cabin, the heavenly soldiers could see a bunch of heavenly generals sitting on the ground, holding bamboo slips and holding brushes there to meditate, quoting scriptures, talking about the past and the present, using the most euphemistic language possible in the hope that the canopy would end the operation as soon as possible, and intermittently erupted into arguments about whether a certain word should be used or not.
Some generals even suddenly felt that the ink in their stomachs was not enough, and asked someone to get a few books to study in the cabin.
And in the study of the canopy, there are mountains of meaningless military newspapers waiting for his approval.
As these are involved. Whether it's the canopy as the supreme commander, or the generals who are housed in the cabin. All belong to the highest level of the Tianhe Water Army. Those lower-level heavenly generals and heavenly soldiers who did not participate in this operation began to study their articles in a similar way, and even formed a trend.
During this period, the intellectual and cultural level of the Tianhe Navy was unprecedentedly improved. Of course, the canopy does not think this is a good thing, because the whole "fishing" operation already looks like a farce.
In order to put an end to this meaningless space confrontation, on the twentieth day after the start of the "fishing" operation, Tianpeng directly ordered a ban on the supply of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other supplies to those ships involved in the operation.
With such a clear attitude, those generals naturally know what to do.
However, there are a lot fewer bamboo slips on the desk, which does not mean that there are fewer opinions, and if there is no suitable reason, even the canopy, as a marshal, will not be able to push it forward for a long time.
For a while, Canopy even anxiously wished that the hydra would attack somewhere, even if it couldn't catch him. As long as the attack actually took place, there would be plenty of reason to continue the operation.
He always believed that the hydra would take the bait sooner or later.
Unfortunately, the nine-headed worm didn't reappear as if it had disappeared.
On the thirtieth day after the start of the "fishing" operation, that is, a full month, the supply of 200,000 troops stationed in Guanyun Tiangang finally turned on the red light, and the bamboo slips requesting the resumption of normal transportation flew like snowflakes to the study of the canopy.
I can't hold it, I really can't hold it.
In desperation, the canopy had to issue a document to restore normal transportation, but it did not issue a document to resume normal cruising, and as for the "fishing" operation, it did not stop.
For this reason, the four small fleets that served as "bait" could only be mixed in the other fleets and continue to travel back and forth between Guanyun Tiangang and Yunyu Tiangang, and those heavenly generals could only continue to be transported back and forth like piglets.
Of course, that's fine. Normal transportation has resumed, will the rest be far away? The generals who were locked up in the cabin finally saw a glimmer of light.
However, it was at this time that tragedy happened.
With a massive increase in transportation, the Hydra once again led a sneak attack on one of the ordinary fleets.
Due to the previous experience, the generals of the transport fleet are now fully prepared to prevent sneak attacks, and in this incident, they were not wiped out as before, but more than 400 heavenly soldiers were killed and wounded. The remaining 400 or so managed to escape.
More than 400 heavenly soldiers are a fraction of a fraction for the Tianhe Water Army, which has an army of 600,000, and it is harmless at all, but the impact of this incident is extremely bad.
He is tantamount to Huaguoshan reminding Tianpeng that the war is still going on and will continue forever!
Holding the bamboo slip of the battle report, Tianpeng's hand trembled slightly.
"Heavenly Court, is there no news yet?" he asked.
Tiansuke, who was standing behind him, pursed his lips and replied, "Not yet." It should be soon, though. Expected to be up to ...... Half a year to ......"
"Half a year?" Tiancang's eyes widened, and he slammed his fist on the eaves of the window.
There was a muffled thud, sawdust splashed, and the entire eaves cracked.
"Half a year, do you have to live like this?" Tianpeng laughed coldly.
Tianfu lowered his head slightly, but did not answer.
For so many years, in the face of monsters, he had never seen Tianpeng so out of shape.
Before the war officially began, the entire Tianhe Water Army had been forced into such a situation, and this time, the opponent, both mentally and cultivated, far exceeded their expectations.
After a long time, Tianpeng suddenly spoke: "You can't 'attack it and defend it', you can only 'defend it'." ”
"What does the marshal mean ......?"
"Inform Nantianmen, and say, we will send someone to pick up Tiantian. Let the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom be sure to reveal this news to Huaguo Mountain. He said through gritted teeth. (To be continued......)
