"Less than ten thousand." Sun Dianchen said a number with difficulty.
This is an extremely uncomfortable result, but it is also a statistic that almost everyone present can think of.
Although Sun Dianchen has a high reputation in the Elan Star Military Headquarters, when he decided to turn Xiqiang into a war planet, it was actually equivalent to splitting from the Wupuxing Province.
At that time, the Wupu Star Incident had not yet broken out, and in that context, the troops he brought were actually not many.
In fact, the biggest contributor to the stability of the situation on Xiqiang Star in the early stage was Chen Ge, who risked his life and death to challenge the Dark Star Realm expert from the Tianluo Empire.
In the following time, Sun Dianchen had to adopt Qin Xiao's plan to restrict the mercenaries on Xiqiang Star, and then gradually develop them into members of the Xiqiang Star garrison.
It was through this method that the Xiqiang Star garrison team quickly grew.
But such a team also has a very important flaw, that is, once morale is low or suffers heavy losses, the entire team will quickly become a mess.
To describe the Xiqiang Star defenders as lacking cohesion would be a compliment. In fact, the current internal situation within the Xiqiang Star defenders may be more complicated than the joint relationship between the Tianluo Empire and the Star Clan.
Sun Dianchen's method has become much older in just this battle.
Not only was his hair now gray, but his eyes that were so sharp in the past were now flat and a bit cloudy.
This is a sign that he has become confused.
Even someone as strong as Sun Dianchen has fallen into deep self-doubt.
Faced with the chaotic situation on Xiqiang Star, how can we save it now?
"If the Tianluo Empire's army attacks again..."
Sun Dianchen was just about to analyze what might happen next, but Qin Xiao suddenly interrupted what he was about to say.
"There is no need to consider the Tianluo Empire's subsequent attacks now. What we need to do most now is to eliminate the synthetic beasts on Xiqiang Planet."
Qin Xiao said calmly that this matter was the most important to him.
If these synthetic beasts are left alone, I believe it won't be long before a large-scale poisoning incident breaks out.
More importantly, Qin Xiao was worried that the Tianluo Empire would continue to capture ordinary people from the Xingji Empire and make them into synthetic beasts.
This kind of thing has basically formed a vicious cycle, and Qin Xiao can only try his best to prevent this almost circular thing from having too much impact.
Sun Dianchen can also figure out the key. Although it is also important to analyze the situation and make next combat arrangements, it is obviously more secure to deploy according to the situation that can be seen now.
But the so-called targeted arrangement is nothing more than dividing the troops in his hands again.
After seeing this situation, even Qin Xiao felt that they seemed to be falling into the traps set by the Tianluo Empire.
Now it seems that the Tianluo Empire's offensive is very likely to be similar to this war. Although the frontal battlefield is not strong, it has continuous victories.
After investigation, it can be basically known that the main force of the Tianluo Empire still has good combat effectiveness.
After they paid a heavy price for a tragic victory, they continued to hide in the defense line of Qingqi Airport with great arrogance.
"It shouldn't be called a defense line now, right?" Qin Xiao said in a low voice while looking at the intelligence that was sent back.
Sun Dianchen nodded subconsciously. His mind has now shifted to destroying the synthetic beasts on Xiqiang Planet.
With a severe shortage of troops, it was extremely difficult for him to do this well.
As for continuing to attack Qingqi Airport head-on, this kind of thing is completely impossible in his opinion.
Whether judging from the current frontal combat capabilities of the Xiqiang star defenders or the overall morale of the team, this kind of thing is no longer possible.
But Qin Xiao seemed to be born to be different. After understanding the situation in Qingqi Airport, he finally said: "Just leave Qingqi Airport to me."
"No, the combat power over there can no longer be underestimated. If you go, you will die!" Before Sun Dianchen could object, Lin Feng spoke first.
He could understand Qin Xiao's current mood. The situation that was originally good suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Not only cannot the previous victories be transformed into an advantageous situation, but even the hard-won consolidated results will completely collapse.
It is understandable that Qin Xiao wants to do some extreme things at this time, but understanding does not mean that he needs to agree with him.
Qin Xiao didn't explain much. After explaining his decision, he directly left the command post with his men.
It was all the members of his team who left with him. Even Guan Shanyue, who had always been calm and composed, gave up command at this time and followed Qin Xiao out alone.
"What are you going to do?" Haishan asked impatiently after walking out.
"Attack Qingqi Airport and find their secret base." Qin Xiao said expressionlessly.
Guan Shanyue had some confusion on her face and asked in confusion: "Are you so sure that the secret base must be in Qingqi Airport?"
Qin Xiao shook his head frankly and said with a wry smile: "How could I possibly know such a thing, but I am certain that the person leading all of this must be in Qingqi Airport now."
"Even if we can't catch the real mastermind, we can definitely find some important participants." Qin Xiao finally added.
He didn't explain any more, but took his team on the road as quickly as possible.
This time the battle in the Nantu Wetlands caused heavy losses to the defenders of Xiqiang Star. Under such high battle losses, it was naturally easy for the Tianluo Empire to change their battle plan.
Qin Xiao judged that maybe the Tianluo Empire had thought about leaving after a fight to the death.
But after seeing such a situation, it can be imagined that the senior officials of Tianluo Empire in Qingqi Airport will definitely stay in the airport with illusions.
After all, as long as they can stay here for one day, they can ask for more resources from the Tianluo Empire and let the situation here develop again bit by bit.
And once they return to the Tianluo Empire now, no matter how much merit they have made here, they must accept the sanctions of the Tianluo Empire.
Qin Xiao's understanding of the Tianluo Empire is profound enough. Although he was slapped in the face not long ago, at least he is still relatively accurate in matters of life and death.
The people of the Tianluo Empire are also human beings. Although they have the characteristics of animals, they also have the human desire to survive.
As long as they can still seize a glimmer of hope, they will naturally not give up the chance to survive easily.
Now that things have happened, the only way they can make the situation on Xiqiang Planet even more chaotic is the secret base they have been operating.
The reason why Qin Xiao was eager to fight back was to end everything before they caused more chaos.
At the critical moment, he even directly called back Paulin, who had just been sent away.
After calling Bolin back, Qin Xiao got straight to the point: "Can you confirm whether there are other star clan royal families on Xiqiang Planet now?"
