Chief of Staff Xiao He said, "Thanks to your two highnesses for turning the tide of this battle, I am still a little curious. Do we still have support? Otherwise, why would the other party's troops suddenly evacuate?"
Xiang Chen and Dongfang Hongying looked at each other and both smiled. Dongfang Hongying smiled and said, "That Guo Zijun was completely deceived by my junior brother."
"ah?"
Everyone showed doubts.
Commander He Zang also had a thoughtful expression on his face. Xiang Chen smiled and said, "Commander, Chief of Staff, can you see our interstellar spacecraft?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment. Yes, they didn't see an interstellar spaceship or a battleship or plane when they arrived. They just flew across directly.
Xiao He suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Is it possible that you separated the battleships and planes from you and created a group of fake suspects?"
Xiang Chen nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. We really don't have much support, so when we are about to arrive at the battlefield, we will hand over all the spaceships and fighter planes to the systems on the battleships and fighter planes to control them and act separately."
"When enemy reconnaissance planes go to conduct reconnaissance, they will mistakenly think that we still have a large army, and scare them away."
Everyone suddenly understood and laughed immediately.
"Haha, the people in Kunlun will be furious if they know the truth."
"Yes, yes, I was actually scared away."
"Your Highness has unparalleled strategies, I admire you, I admire you!"
The crowd was full of compliments, and Marshal He Zang asked doubtfully, "Kunlun's reconnaissance planes have a life detection system. They can detect the number of people and horses through this system. How did your highness hide this?"
Xiang Chen smiled and said, "I have a magic treasure that can create an environment that is fake and real to interfere with the opponent's life system detection. Unfortunately, it is a one-time consumable. I also relied on that magic treasure to hide the opponent's life detection system."
He gave an explanation casually, and Marshal Hezang and the others all nodded suddenly, and then felt it was a pity. Qibao that can hide from the life detection system is a good thing, and it can be used in the military to achieve many unexpected surprise attacks.
Xiang Chen said it was a one-time consumable, and they had no way of investigating whether it was true or not, and they would not be stupid enough to do so.
At this time, a roaring sound came from the sky.
Xiang Chen's interstellar spacecraft has arrived, and a large number of battleships and fighter planes are flying through the sky, all of which are unmanned at the moment.
Xiang Chen said to Commander Hezang, "Commander, we'd better retreat quickly. We can take away as much of the mineral deposits here as we can in a short time. It won't be good until the other party comes to their senses."
Marshal Hezang nodded, "I will arrange for people to go to the starry sky for reconnaissance and warning. The whole army will start mining for me with all their strength. I will take away as much as I can!"
"yes!"
Then all the soldiers of the army entered the mining area and started mining frantically. Commander Hezang only gave him one day, and even if he mined, he couldn't extract much.
One day later, the people from the Dongsu Empire also left here quickly and abandoned the mining star directly.
Because when the opponent comes to his senses, he won't be able to hold on with this small amount of troops!
Commander Hezang's troops suffered heavy losses this time. Seven million people, not counting the people brought by Xiang Chen, there were still more than three million alive, so more than half of them were lost.
Now including Xiang Chen, the four million people brought by Dongfang Hongying, the total is only over seven million.
In the command room, Xiang Chen, Marshal He Zang, Dongfang Hongying, Xiao He and others gathered.
Looking at the star map, Xiang Chen took the initiative to ask, "Commander, what are you going to do next?"
Commander He Zang sighed, "We can only reorganize our troops. On Line 1, we have two million troops to ambush the support of Line 1. The leader is Ao Yue Shengzi. However, Ao Yue Shengzi realized that something was wrong and had already led his men to break through and kill him.
He went out and fled toward the border guard, but there should be at least one million people on his side."
"Hmph, His Royal Highness the Holy Son Ao Yue runs very fast." A general snorted dissatisfiedly. "If they hadn't just given up on containing the enemy, the more than three million enemy reinforcements on Line 1 would not have arrived so quickly."
Obviously, Ao Yue's behavior made the generals in the army extremely unhappy.
He Zang was also unhappy. Although he expected that Ao Yue would act like this in the end, Commander He Zang did not say anything and continued, "On the second line, Luo Dong, the deputy chief of staff, is in charge of commanding the interception. He only has one million troops and encounters two enemy armies."
The counterattack of millions of people cost a lot of money. After buying us some time, I asked him to switch to guerrilla warfare and not to fight head-on. At this moment, we still have about 600,000 troops."
"Deputy Commander Long Yuan, who is in charge of the fourth line, also helped us delay and contain it for a lot of time. The other party also counterattacked with two million troops. His people also suffered heavy losses, which was similar to that of the second line."
"Including the people brought by Holy Son Ao Yue and the support you brought, we can probably gather around ten million people after regrouping our troops."
Xiang Chen rubbed his chin and said, "Tens of millions of people are not enough. For this war, Kunlun has at least 16 million people deployed in advance to set up this huge trap."
He Zang nodded and said, "Yes, judging from the network laid out by the other side, so many people are needed. The other side's goal is to eat all our tens of millions of troops. If it were not for the help and wisdom of the two His Highnesses, I am afraid that this time we will not be able to
Even if the entire army is not wiped out, there will still be about eight million casualties—hey—"
"In the final analysis, I rushed in in a hurry and fell into the opponent's trick. I will write a detailed battle report on this matter."
Xiang Chen said, "If we face each other head-on, our current manpower is unlikely to be able to compete with the opponent. I suggest that the empire support us with six to eight million regular troops to fight against the opponent and seize the mineral stars. However, the enemy
We may also send more troops here.”
Marshal Hezang nodded, "I will apply to His Majesty the Dragon Lord in this regard. Holy Son, I have looked down on you before. Please don't take offense."
At this point, the other party took the initiative to salute.
Xiang Chen quickly supported the other party, and then he also held his hands and said, "The commander-in-chief is trying to offend me. I was only thinking the worst about the situation at that time, so I made preparations in advance to prevent any eventuality."
Two days later, Guo Zijun also received information. After knowing that he had been deceived by Long Chen using the unmanned pilot of the interstellar spacecraft, he was so angry that he smashed the tea table with his palm.
"Damn it, Long Chen, Long Chen!!" His eyes showed fierce hatred, and the duck he got flew away. If he hadn't been tricked into retreating, his support would have arrived a day later and he could have completely annihilated them.
"It seems that we are going to fight a long-term confrontation," Chief of Staff Wang Xing said.
Guo Zijun quickly restrained his emotions and sighed softly, "Yes, the Dongsu Empire will definitely increase its troops and it will be a long-term tug of war."
Deputy Commander Zhao Shi asked, "Do we need to replenish our soldiers?"
Guo Zijun thought for a while and then said, "Additionally, these veins are related to the future destiny of Kunlun, and they are worthy of our investment of maximum manpower and material resources to fight for them."
