Chapter 58: Active Defense
The interstellar pirate tactics have been exposed, and the bridgehead of Iron City has been removed, and it would be a little unwise to follow the original plan.
Iron Blood City is the location of the mission target, and it belongs to the first sequence of interstellar pirate attack targets. In order to ensure absolute superiority over the defenders of Ironblood, the attack plans for the other cities were slightly delayed. Now, the interstellar pirates who have gathered a large army to suppress the realm have a very clear goal, that is, to destroy the defense system of Iron Blood City with the momentum of destroying and decaying, and capture the mission target as quickly as possible!
On the way to retreat quickly, because of internal communication, Zuo Zhe did not encounter an attack by the vanguard of the interstellar pirates. Speaking of which, just by looking at the military discipline of this group of interstellar pirates comparable to that of the regular army, you can know that there is something wrong with the identity of these interstellar pirates. According to Ruiya, most of the interstellar pirates in the documentary are very chaotic in terms of command and management, and even more chaotic in terms of discipline. And this kind of large-scale invasion battle is often jointly launched by many pirate gangs, and the battle is more chaotic and chaotic, and there will be no such scene as it is now, with a degree of advance and retreat, and strict discipline. If it's a real pirate invasion, it's time to rush into the city.
As an impostor member of the Crow Order, Zuo Zhe would not go to the area where the members of the Crow were assigned to rest and recuperate, as ordinary members of the Crow Order would do. In this sandwich cake-like battle, the only advantage of the weak Zuo Zhe is his flexibility. When the torrential rain in the sky was about to stop and the dark clouds in the sky were about to disperse, Zuo Zhe, who had retreated to the southeast corner of the safety zone in advance, found a pile of ruins and started the excavation machinery to drill into it.
If the situation is not chaotic enough, there will be no chance of fishing in troubled waters. The opportunities left for Zuo Zhe to make a move are very limited, and every shot hides an unknown danger. So unless necessary, Zuo Zhe will not make a move easily. Of course, once Zuo Zhe decides to make a move, he must hit in a critical place.
The dark clouds cleared, and the smoke and fog on the surface of the "safe zone" were also swept away. At this time, the "safe zone" is like a huge Go chessboard. The "players" of the attacking and defending sides have taken their positions and the game can be declared to have begun. In this chess game, the chess pieces become invading interstellar pirates and the defending garrison of Iron City.
The vanguard of the two interstellar pirates, one on the left and one on the right, took the lead, and along the undestroyed construction areas on both sides of the security zone, they scattered and quickly advanced under the cover of the pirates' fire in the sky.
At this time, high-powered weapons such as missiles have become useless. Even when flying close to the ground at ultra-low altitudes, the missile will be captured by the cameras of mechanical hummingbirds, which are not much larger than sparrows. Once the enemy launches a missile, the other side's energy weapon will fire as soon as possible, detonating the enemy's missile in the shortest possible time. At that time, there is a possibility that a missile that explodes with a bang will explode in the position of the launching party. Therefore, high-powered missiles are no longer the first choice for both the offensive and defensive sides. Small-caliber artillery with relatively little power, but with an extremely high frequency of fire, has become the darling of the surface battlefield. The machine guns were like chattering street shrews, and the barabala-barra spewed out a dense barrage that made the enemy angry but helpless. Energy shields are very weak against material attacks such as bullets, shells, and missiles, but they have targeted resistance to energy weapons that do not have much kinetic energy, such as high-energy lasers and high-energy particle beams. In a similar vein, armor defenses such as Super Alloys have very low defense against energy weapons, but they have relatively strong defense against material attacks. Therefore, people will use energy weapons to destroy enemy missiles, mechs, warships, and fortress armor, and missile weapons will be used to destroy the generators of energy shields.
Because of the suppression of firepower in outer space, the stragglers of the interstellar pirates advanced very quickly. If there were no accidents, the defenders of Iron Blood City, who could only hide under the energy shield and fight back, would not be able to last long at all.
However, accidents are the most common on the battlefield. In the underground of the city center of Iron Blood, an underground prison used to hold felons, the prisoners have been injected with special drugs. Coupled with thrills such as electric shocks, these felons piloted the war mechs used to launch suicide attacks in the chaos of the night, and under the command of a small number of dead soldiers, they made their way through secret passages beneath the surface and sneaked southeast of the city.
At this moment, the command of Iron Blood City is not in the hands of the commander of the Iron Blood City garrison. Before the arrival of the interstellar pirates, in order to capture Zuo Zhe, a user of the super-god space, scientists from all over the Cave Star were rushing in the direction of Iron-Blood City. Originally, their plan was to enter Iron Blood City early in the morning of the second day after capturing Zuo Zhe to study what difference Zuo Zhe's body was from ordinary people. It's a pity that the Shuo Rat Lab messed things up and let Zuo Zhe run away. When a well-known scientist travels, it is naturally impossible to only bring an assistant, and he will inevitably be accompanied by elite security personnel. Coupled with the elite troops who captured Zuo Zhe from various cities, the real decision-making power of Iron Blood City is now controlled by the high-level figures of the various forces in Iron Blood City. Therefore, the original tactic of passive defense of cats in the depths of the earth has been replaced by a more active way of coping.
If the attacking side is really an interstellar pirate, then it's okay to say. After all, the goal of pirates is to rob supplies, and even if they rob people, they will only target ordinary people. Although the elite and the top are more valuable, the protection around them is also stronger. Fighting beneath the surface, small groups of elite troops can exert stronger combat power, and it is not easy to take. Therefore, if you want to capture the elite and high-level to obtain a large ransom, this practice is not a small risk, and it will also lose your wife and soldiers.
There are all kinds of indications that the interstellar pirates who invaded the Cave Star this time are likely to be "part-time". And if the other party is not simply an interstellar pirate, but a regular army somewhere, the other party's plan will be much bigger, and it will not only be for the supplies of the cave star. To deal with this kind of enemy with a greater appetite and stronger strength, adopting a passive defensive posture at the beginning will make the opponent look down on him, and then pinch himself as a soft persimmon. Only by making the enemy feel that they are not easy to bully, will the other party turn to bully the "soft persimmons" of other cities. Even if the opponent's attack target is very clear and the will to attack is very firm, it is necessary to obtain better negotiation conditions through this active defensive method. If the enemy's main target is Zuo Zhe, everyone can sit down and negotiate, there is no need to fight and kill as if they don't share the sky.
