Chapter 272: Farce
The Nine-Headed Worm unexpectedly did not attack the transport fleet, which made Tianpeng very confused.
It was fine at the beginning. Although the Nine-Headed Worm did not take action, the Tianhe Water Army could at least notice that the Nine-Headed Worm was nearby. As long as the enemy did not give up, they had a reason to persevere. But the problem is that after a day, they could not even see the Nine-Headed Worm's shadow.
"Did you really give up?" Tianpeng frowned and thought.
Judging from the actions of the Nine-Headed Worm following the transport fleet for a distance at the beginning, Tianpeng can at least conclude that the Nine-Headed Worm did not give up. The current situation can only mean that the other party is cautious at most.
When fishing, you are trying to be patient.
Against the opposition, Tianpeng was determined to carry out this "fishing" operation.
Therefore, the core combat power of the Tianhe Water Army, those heavenly generals above the God Transformation Realm, were divided into four groups, and they were back and forth between Yunyu Tiangang and Guanyun Tiangang.
At the beginning, the generals cooperated very well, after all, everyone knew the current situation. But after a long time, most of them felt like a joke.
Think about it, these generals, who were the chief generals of the army, were summoned and threw them into the narrow cabin and said they were going to set up an ambush. In the first one or two days, everyone must have been tense and waiting for the attacker to appear. What will happen in two days?
Nothing happened, and faintly, the generals began to have questions about such a strategy. Of course, due to Tianpeng's always supreme authority, they would definitely not dare to say it out.
Immediately afterwards, three, four, five, six and seven days passed, and nothing happened.
The generals who were still staying in the cabin and being transported around like cargo have become resistant to this kind of pig-like life. Of course, they still dare not question Tianpeng publicly, so they began to publicly tease their miserable life state. At the same time, they cursed the damn Nine-headed worm.
Tianpeng still insisted. So the "fishing" operation continued.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Still no new attack occurred. At this time, all kinds of complaints had been written in a tactful manner as military newspapers and placed on Tianpeng's desk.
Looking at the ten military newspapers sent from the cabin, Tianpeng thought about it and finally decided to personally approve it to show comfort.
However, his decision was obviously wrong.
After receiving his comfort, this military newspaper did not stop, but instead became more and more intense as if it was encouraged. Think about it, hundreds of generals who were thrown in the cabin would tease and spank every day, if they didn't complain to Tianpeng in a different way. What else could they do?
So, a funny scene appeared.
In the cabin, the soldiers could see a bunch of generals sitting on the ground, holding bamboo slips and holding brushes, thinking hard, citing scriptures and talking about the past and present, using as euphemistic language as possible, hoping that Tianpeng could end this action as soon as possible, and intermittently broke out debates about whether a certain word should be used.
Some generals even suddenly felt that there was not enough ink in their stomachs, so they asked someone to get a few books to study in the cabin.
In Tianpeng's study, there were mountains of meaningless military newspapers waiting for him to approve.
Because of these participation, whether it was Tianpeng, who was the supreme commander or the generals who were loaded in the cabin, they all belonged to the highest level of the Tianhe Water Army. Those who did not participate in this operation began to follow their articles and even formed a trend.
During this period, the knowledge and cultural level of the Tianhe Water Army was improved unprecedentedly. Of course, Tianpeng did not think this was a good thing, because the entire "fishing" operation looked like a farce.
In order to end this meaningless air-to-air quarrel, on the 20th day after the "fishing" operation began, Tianpeng directly ordered a ban on providing supplies such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone to ships participating in this operation.
With such a clear attitude, those generals naturally know how to do it.
However, there are a lot of bamboo slips on the desk, which does not mean that there are fewer opinions. If there is no appropriate reason, even Tianpeng, as a marshal, cannot push it forward for a long time.
For a while, Tianpeng even anxiously hoped that the Nine-Headed Worm could attack wherever it was, even if it could not be caught. As long as the attack actually happened, there would be enough reason to continue the operation.
He always believed that the Nine-headed worm would take the bait sooner or later.
But unfortunately, the nine-headed worm seemed to have disappeared and did not appear again.
On the thirty day after the "fishing" operation began, that is, a full month, the supply of the 200,000 troops stationed in Guanyuntian Port finally turned on a red light, and the bamboo slips that requested the restoration of normal transportation flew to Tianpeng's study like snowflakes.
I can't hold on anymore, I really can't hold on anymore.
In desperation, Tianpeng had to issue documents to resume normal transportation, but did not issue documents to resume normal cruise. As for the "fishing" operation, it did not stop.
For this reason, the four small fleets as "bait" could only mix in other fleets to continue to travel back and forth between Yuntian Port and Yunyu Tiangang. Those generals could only continue to be transported back and forth as piglets.
Of course, this is also good. If normal transportation is restored, will the rest be far away? The generals locked in the cabin finally saw a glimmer of light.
However, at this moment something tragic happened.
With the large-scale increase in transportation, the Nine-Headed Bug once again led a team to attack one of the ordinary fleets.
With previous experience, the generals of the Transport Fleet have now been prepared to prevent sneak attacks. In this incident, they did not completely wipe out the entire army as before. They only killed and injured more than 400 heavenly soldiers. The remaining more than 400 people successfully escaped.
More than 400 heavenly soldiers were just a fraction of the Tianhe Navy, which had an army of 600,000, and it was not harmful at all, but the impact of this incident was extremely bad.
He is equivalent to Huaguoshan reminding Tianpeng that the war is still going on and will continue!
Holding the bamboo slips for the battle report, Tianpeng's hand shook slightly.
"Is there no news yet?" he asked.
Tianfu, who was standing behind him, pursing his lips and replied, "Not yet. But it should be soon. It is expected that at most...again another half a year..."
"Half a year?" Tianpeng widened his eyes and punched the window eaves with a punch.
With a muffled sound, wood chips splashed and the entire window eaves cracked.
"Do you have to spend half a year like this?" Tianpeng smiled coldly.
Tian Fu lowered his head slightly, but did not answer.
After so many years, he has never seen Tianpeng lose his composure in the face of monsters.
Before the war officially started, the entire Tianhe Water Army had already forced it to such a situation. This time, the opponents, both mentally and cultivation, were far beyond their expectations.
After a long time, Tianpeng suddenly spoke, "If you can't 'attack him, you must defend him, you can only 'attack him, you must attack'."
"What the marshal means..."
