Nine hundred and twentieth chapters difficult to attack
Even though he said this, everyone present did not even have experience in conquering Qingtian Castle, let alone ten of them combined.
Having said that, Optimus Castle is the largest space fortress built by the Galactic Empire, which has a fanatical obsession with giant construction. Each one can undertake the repair and maintenance of Titan ships, and can produce almost all weapons for the fleet and marines.
Energy and various types of consumables and accessories can be used to build large and medium-sized warships above heavy cruisers, with barracks and living facilities that can accommodate three to four million soldiers and civilians. There is even a large-scale orbital commercial city with supporting civilian facilities and a large number of ecological farms.
.
In addition, even the smallest Sky Fortress is equipped with more than a dozen fortress main guns that can tear apart Titan ships.
Everyone really lacks intuitive imagination about what would happen if there were ten such fortresses stacked on top of each other, but they were indeed frightened.
However, perhaps just because they were frightened, more and more treasure hunters came up with many bold suggestions.
So, on July 20, Prince Charon Mane of the Cathay Kingdom gave a suggestion to use small and medium-sized warships to carry assault landing craft in a skirmish formation to charge. In this way, the enemy fortress's cannons
No matter how powerful it is, it will only have the effect of beating mosquitoes with the cannon, and it is unlikely to cause too much damage to one's own fleet.
King Thorane said that this was a very creative idea, and approved Prince Charon Mane and his Kaitai fleet to implement it. After all, although the Kaitai big cats are not very good at sailing ships, they are indeed
The very brave warrior nation is suitable for this kind of work. If they can really charge forward, the battle rhythm may enter their home field.
We should be able to guess the subsequent results. During the attack, the Cathay Kingdom dropped more than 100,000 corpses that turned into space dust and 12 battleships. Even the flagship Liewang battle cruiser was severely damaged.
Of course, it was not that there were no results at all. It is said that nearly 5,000 Cathay stormtroopers wearing special space power armor boarded the fortress, but they were all destroyed without even breaking through the outer wall.
After the battle, the seriously injured Katai Prince Charon Mane was crawling in front of King Thoraine and wailing in a thick bleeding bandage. While crying, he said that those who died were all heroic warriors of the kingdom, but for
For the great cause of the empire and for the well-being of the entire galaxy, we are not afraid of this small sacrifice.
Such a scene of loyalty made King Thoren a little intolerable, so he ordered a banquet to be held in honor of him.
"No, we Iron-blooded Claws fight for the victory of the entire army. We will not eat before boarding the fortress!" A group of generals under Prince Katai shouted loudly: "Let's charge again!"
At that moment, all the Cathay people present seemed to be possessed by the loyal Xue Yong, and each of them seemed to turn their life and soul into a beacon that lit the way forward for the entire army. The scene could not be called burning.
, it’s simply heroic.
Even if the commander-in-chief of the empire had no more blood or tears, he was too embarrassed to let the Cathays continue to charge, so he asked them to retreat and repair. In order to prevent these murderous big cats from getting too far, the intact battleships were even turned into
The escort fleet is responsible for the security of the supply lines in the rear.
At this time, other countries who watched the whole performance of the Catai people suddenly realized how reckless these big cats were! They were obviously extremely smart!
But no matter what, the empire and the community gathered their friends and mobilized a large fleet of this size to attack the city. They couldn't give up on the spot and return to the court just because of the existence of an ancient fortress. So, on July 21, after After a full twenty-four hours of mobilizing troops and generals, the expeditionary force launched its first general attack from two fronts.
The attackers succeeded in tearing a hole in the outer wall of the fortress. After the first outer wall, which looked like a meteorite shell, was peeled off by tens of thousands of siege nuclear missiles, the subsequent metal shell was exposed.
Hundreds of large arsenal ships concentrated their salvos of light lance main guns, seemingly forming a thick beam of light that was comparable to the main guns of a fortress, successfully creating the first dazzling explosion on the fortress.
Subsequently, there was an even larger-scale gang-hopping attack.
This general attack lasted for a full forty hours. From the beginning to the end, there were no unpredictable tactical operations, it was just the most appropriate, yet majestic use of force to suppress it.
This brutal battle did cause considerable casualties to the marauders. The stormtroopers even successfully broke through to the interior of the fortress, occupied a large cabin equivalent to the size of a city, and brought back a lot of intelligence.
However, our side's losses were still so great that even the bloodless and tearless Dragon Kings were moved. Even the Titan ship Dragon of Time and Space was hit by the main gun of the fortress.
Facts have proved that the empire's shipbuilding technology is indeed the best in the world, and the battleships were not sunk by fortress artillery.
Facts have also proved that there is a reason why this fortress is regarded by the plunderers as a trump card to defend their homeland. The Titan ship, known for its hard turtle shell, was seriously injured on the spot, and even the maintenance personnel inside the ship The health system was incapacitated for more than five minutes.
More than eight thousand sailors lost their lives in excruciating pain.
During that five-minute period, the Space-Time Dragon could only stagger out of the battlefield. During this process, several predator warships thought they could take advantage and pounced on it, like a group of hyenas. Preparing to hunt a severely injured lion.
Fortunately, the Angel of Dawn arrived at the critical moment. A barrage of cannons drove away the Predator warship, threw out a tractor beam, and pulled the friendly ship, which was even larger than itself, out of the battlefield.
By the time the general offensive ended on July 23, the attackers had lost hundreds of battleships, including two battlecruisers and a dreadnought, and more than 700,000 dead. At the end of the last Galactic War, 50 In recent years, there has been no battlefield of this intensity.
The casualties paid by the looters should not be small, but when it comes to the exchange ratio, it is our own side that will definitely suffer.
Especially Countess Giafel, who was under Brunhilt's command, when she led a group of stormtroopers to attack the formation, she saw with her own eyes a young Eero warrior with pale brown skin holding a bundle of ion salt bombs. , perished together with a squad of Wolflin stormtroopers.
The Elor warrior's skin was very light, and the horns behind his forehead were not hardened. This was a sign that the Elor people were underage.
"If one-third of the enemies in this fortress are like this, such a strong attack is meaningless." The countess advised King Suliuka: "We must take a long-term approach."
King Sulyuka admitted that his best friend was right, and made a suggestion to King Soleyon to withdraw his troops.
If the opponent was a hot-blooded young man, he might have gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to hit him with their heads, and he would also knock the armor of the enemy fortress away. However, King Thoraine, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was very calm.
Accept the fact that this battle is disrespectful.
"These barbarians are really showing the courage to defend their country!" King Soleyn said with a smile: "None of the nationalist rebels within the control of the empire has shown the same fighting spirit."
"How were the Earth rebels led by Marshal Victoria Lee back then?" Brynhilt asked with great interest.
"I don't know, I was still a child at that time." King Soleyn shrugged: "However, people on Earth are also human beings, and Marshal Li is also a hero that is rare to see in a century. At that time, even if the number of Earth soldiers was limited,
Naturally, they are a strong army that can compete with us. Unfortunately, Brunhildt, perhaps the most terrifying weapon in the world is time!"
The young King Suliuka immediately understood what the other party meant, nodded and said: "I will negotiate."
Then, naturally, the troops were withdrawn.
The Imperial Guards were indeed very particular about their operations. When retreating, they still tried their best to take all the stormtroopers who had boarded the fortress back to the ship. You know, more than half of these stormtroopers were not even human. This would be replaced by the majority.
The big Cat Cat, who did not treat the lower-level soldiers as human beings, immediately abandoned the soldiers as abandoned ones.
However, in order to pick up everyone, the empire even paid the price of two more frigates.
In the eyes of the top leaders of most civilized countries, two large battleships with thick skin and thick shields that can withstand meteor showers are much more valuable than tens of thousands of stormtrooper cannon fodder. However, an empire with strong martial arts and rich wealth has never been
Don't hesitate to use any method to shape the military spirit at any time.
At the military meeting afterwards, he told the generals of his own side and all "allies" that he was responsible for all failures. He had engraved in his heart all the efforts everyone had made in the battle and all the military exploits they had made.
The injured will be properly accommodated, and the war dead will naturally be able to enjoy moxa.
"This is indeed a hard nut to crack. However, gentlemen, you all should understand that the predators have rarely been willing to fight us, but now they have done so. This will not let everyone
Do you think of the Eero Empire that dyed half the universe red with blood and fire a thousand years ago? Do you really want to see that era come back?"
Bloodshed and war, it seems that your Galactic Empire has less fun than others. Isn’t the reason why the Eero people were promoted because they threaten human supremacy? Even for this goal, you can still hold it in check
Nose is cooperating with the old rival Alliance. In addition, if you think about it carefully, the reason why the Eero people can become big is because they sit on the wall between the Empire and the Alliance. To put it bluntly, isn't it because your Empire personally supported it? Now
Are you pretending to be a messenger of justice here?
I have never seen such a shameless person in my life.
Among the generals from various countries present, there should still be smart people who are familiar with history books and sober-minded, who would think so.
It is a pity that the literate are only a minority after all, and group memory can be shaped. After nearly a thousand years of writing and propaganda in the Spring and Autumn Period, most people cannot remember how the Eero Empire emerged, but only know that they once were The biggest villain in the entire galaxy and the source of all evil.
Even the predecessor of the Galactic Civilization Council was established to destroy this evil empire.
Everyone has thought of the "Universe Demon Realm" thousands of years ago. Many people seem to have been awakened from the shadows of their childhood, with solemnity and even fear flashing in their eyes. Of course, there are also quite a few generals who seem to have been injected with chicken blood. They should have thought of it. After the Third Galactic War that destroyed the Ero Empire, there is a list of generals and stars whose names will go down in history.
King Thoren nodded with satisfaction in his heart, and said: "But, from another perspective, the Ero people, trolls and long-bearded demons are as crazy as a group of female beasts protecting their cubs at this time. What does this mean?"
What else could it represent? The legacy of enlightened beings that promotes the progress of the entire society, the habitable planet like gems, as well as countless rare minerals and fascinating unknown resources.
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet has never publicly stated that he will share the "trophies" with everyone, but everyone is a decent person, so it is enough for this purpose.
"This fortress is also a legacy left to us by the Enlightened Ones. If we cannot take it back from the plunderers, it will be our betrayal of the Enlightened Ones who guide us, and it is also a betrayal of the spirit of the universe! I mean, everyone Do you understand?"
Of course everyone understands that the reason why King Solane said this means that he is not going to use the terrifying colossus weapon against this fortress.
...Of course, with the power of the Colossus weapon, careless operation may wipe out the "Devil's Throat" galaxy. Although the main force of the predators is finished, everyone may lose the only way to enter its hinterland. .
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The next day, everyone regrouped and prepared to fight again.
This time, they changed to a standard siege tactic. The imperial fleet concentrated one hundred and twenty heavy arsenal ships and began to conduct intensive bombardment towards the enemy fortress from an extremely long distance. You know, the theoretical range of the rail gun It's infinite, and the opponent's fortress is as big as a planet, so it's much easier than fighting a battleship.
This is also one of the most effective fortress attack tactics in this era when shields are far stronger than spears. Such continuous ultra-long-distance bombardment, even if its lethality is limited, creates great psychological pressure on the fortress defenders. , it is more likely to force the fortress garrison fleet out. In this way, a chaotic battle among the fleets can occur, and the fortress cannons will not dare to fire their rat-defying weapons easily.
This time, the ultra-long-distance bombardment was ineffective. Within three hours, not one of the tens of thousands of shells fired by the 120 arsenal ships hit the fortress.
Even with an average ultra-long-range artillery strike of five million kilometers, this hit rate is really impressive.
On the other side, a group of fast fleets were preparing to bypass the fortress and find the passage to the hinterland of the "Devil's Labyrinth". Although they broke through the interception of the predator fleet and finally won a small victory in the fleet battle, they did not have any established tactics.
Target.
"We did not capture any gravity well signals." The pilot of the returning fleet said.
"This is impossible! We saw with our own eyes that Predator warships came in and out from that direction." A general said that this is really unscientific and he can't believe it.
"It's hard for me to understand, but it's true." The commander of the squadron also looked as if he had encountered a ghost. The empire had discovered the traces of the Predator fleet entering and leaving the system, and was ready to go and find out.
After all, our own fleet still holds an overwhelming advantage. As long as we control the incoming and outgoing channels and directly attack the hinterland of the star field, no matter how powerful and solid this ancient fortress is, it will be nothing more than an isolated and dead city.
But the problem is, neither the most advanced detectors nor the experienced psychic navigators have found anything.
King Solei was also a little surprised, but he was not particularly surprised. Instead, he fell into deep thought thoughtfully.
At the beginning, when our own reconnaissance fleet discovered the enemy's traces, it was also ready to escape, but failed, and could only send out the signal of encountering the enemy at the last moment. If not every former enemy reconnaissance ship was bound to the "God of War Board"
It may take a month for the headquarters to receive the news that they were sunk.
