On the flagship, Li Xin said, "Weng Hua's left-wing army is already preparing to attack the enemy's logistics lines."
"But their main fleet is still entangled with us on the front line. This is somewhat unreasonable."
"Based on previous intelligence analysis, it's impossible for them to store too much logistical supplies to accompany the fleet."
"Normally, their fleet should have begun withdrawing by now, but intelligence indicates they are still lingering here."
"Everyone, tell me why this is happening?"
Li Xin's questions were not only directed at many commanders and senior staff officers, but also at himself.
The General Staff Headquarters summarizes the intelligence sent back by various reconnaissance units.
A high-ranking staff officer analyzed: "Grand Marshal, commanders!"
"The General Staff has analyzed the intelligence and concluded that there is a 31% chance that the Yelong Empire's fleet, with its main fleet, will remain at the front lines to confront us."
"There's a 40% chance. Mobilize the fleet and prepare to attack the group's left wing."
"There's a 29 percent chance they're retreating."
After hearing this, Li Xin shook his head and said, "Not every civilization is as cowardly as the Tanni Empire!"
"Zangwill of the Tane Empire was able to hold onto the Star B system because they were waiting for reinforcements from the Yeron Empire."
"The main force of the Yelong Empire is lingering on the front lines. They should know why. Now no one can come to support them."
"With their logistics hampered, they can't possibly stay on the front lines. Otherwise, they would collapse on their own in no time, without us even having to fight."
“So, they might be trying to find a way to attack Weng Hua.”
Li Xin stared at the star map and said, "But how did they disguise themselves so that we would think their fleet was still here?"
A staff officer asked, "Could it be like how we once had the Yaru Alliance disguise their ships to deceive Moranok?"
The staff officer's words reminded Li Xin, and he said, "That's possible."
Li Xin looked at the star map and said coldly, "Since you have doubts, let's give it a try!"
Li Xin turned to look at Li Chengyue and Zhang Jiu and said, "Third Security Defense Battle Group, Fifth Unerring Defense Battle Group, move forward and attack their pursuing forces!"
"I want to see what's hiding behind them!"
"Also, have the reconnaissance team get closer and scout out their main assembly point!"
"Yes! Marshal!" Li Chengyue and Zhang Jiu responded loudly.
Afterwards, the two fleets, totaling 6,000 main battleships, moved forward and separated from the central army.
Li Chengyue's Third Security Defense Battle Group fought a battle to annihilate the Tanni Empire, and all of its members are veterans with rich combat experience.
Zhang Jiu's Fifth Unerring Defense Battle Group has a lot of combat experience. Zhang Jiu has also fought many battles with Li Xin, so his command experience is definitely not bad.
The two fleets rushed directly into the area where the disguised fleet of the Yelong Empire's front line was located.
The Yelong Empire's disguised fleet, with three to four thousand ships, cruises in the surrounding galaxies, sweeping away small-scale fleets and reconnaissance ships of the galactic defense.
This time, I hit a wall.
The two battle groups attacked all the way and rushed directly to the location of the Yelong Empire's fleet.
This scared the commander of the disguised fleet to death.
The commander quickly reported to his superiors through psychic power, Kipling Yeron:
"Your Majesty, the enemy seems to have discovered our disguise. They have sent a fleet straight towards us!"
After hearing this, Kipling Yeron sighed and said, "Sure enough, the commander of the Galaxy Defense Group is not a stupid guy."
“It’s normal for them to notice.”
"Since they have discovered it, then you can just play along with them."
"Turn around and lead the main fleet towards the enemy assault fleet to scare them!"
After hearing this, the commander felt a little scared, but still carried out the order.
A large number of transport ships of the disguised fleet began to assemble and entered the jumping state.
They headed straight for Li Chengyue and Zhang Jiu's attacking forces.
This time, Li Chengyue and Zhang Jiu couldn’t do anything about it.
Because their reconnaissance system showed that more than 40,000 enemy warships were coming towards them.
But they only have 6,000 warships. If this really happened and they collided, they would be killed instantly.
Therefore, as a last resort, Li Chengyue and Zhang Jiu's fleet began to turn backwards.
But they have deployed a large number of passive reconnaissance components within the galaxy.
The forward troops withdrew, and the main force of Li Xin's central army has not moved for the time being.
He was waiting, waiting for the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance component.
As a result, before any news came from here, Weng Hua had already sent back information.
Weng Hua's left-wing army attacked the Yelong Empire's logistics lines from behind.
Normally, after the fleet is dispersed, it should be able to intercept a large amount of enemy logistical supplies.
But when the fleet began to attack the enemy's logistics lines, it found that they had interrupted the logistics transportation.
The left-wing army attacked all the way and pursued them to a logistics transportation node, only then did they discover it.
After receiving the news that the Left Route Army was going to attack the logistics lines, the enemy stopped the logistics transportation.
All subsequent logistical supplies were piled up in the nodes.
The logistics ships that were previously taken away may now be gradually taken over by the fleet of the Yelong Empire.
This means that for a long period of time, the enemy fleet will not receive supply ships.
On the flagship, after receiving the report, Weng Hua analyzed it with the General Staff Headquarters.
As Li Xin's chief of staff at the beginning, analyzing this intelligence was his forte.
"The enemy's logistics have been disrupted for several months, which is obviously not right," Weng Hua said.
"Intelligence shows that their main fleet is still confronting the Central Army, but if the logistics are not continuing, what can they use to confront the front line?"
"Even if we were considering attacking their transportation routes, we should have dispersed the transportation or arranged for a fleet escort. How could we just stop the supply?"
"Unless... they're not in a hurry to resupply."
A senior staff officer said, "Commander, what do you mean!?"
"The enemy isn't in a hurry to resupply because their fleet is turning back and approaching these supply points, so they're not in a hurry to arrange for the logistics fleet to depart?"
Weng Hua made a bold guess, and combined it with what Li Xin had noticed, he said, "I guess the Yelong Empire fleet currently at the Central Army's front line is a disguise!"
"The Yelong Empire's fleet must be chasing us!"
When Weng Hua thought of this, he ordered: "Quickly report our army's situation to the Grand Marshal and the Central Army!"
"Order the fleet to destroy this logistics base, and we will move in immediately!"
