Chapter 17: Overture to the Dead 2
Pingzu Pass, the horn-shaped pass is getting bigger and bigger on the side facing Kamon, which also creates a certain degree of conversion in the difficulty of attack and defense on both sides, if you want to attack Pingzu Pass to retake the level, then the Kamon people are much easier to do than the Blue Domain people.
In the last Carmon invasion battle, the Blue Domain also paid a bloody price for winning this level, and after that, the army was like entering a no-man's land, and attacked until the Bill Line, only because the Bill Line's resistance was too fierce, and the whole line was defeated.
But what really made the Blue Domain pay a heavy price was the long interstellar journey from Pingzu Pass to the Bill Line during the evacuation, and before the Blue Domain's fleet was completely defeated, the Kamon troops recaptured Pingzu Pass ahead of schedule. With such a long front cut off from the back road, it has to be said that the unstable morale of the army is also one of the reasons for the rout of the entire Beale Line.
The defeat was like a mountain, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the retreat of the Blue Regions as a one-sided massacre. The back roads were cut off, the passes were blocked, and serious clashes broke out when the generals with the troops were faced with the problem of dispersed retreat and concentrated march. Several generals who were unable to resist the commander-in-chief risked disobeying orders and fled separately, but as predicted, more than ninety percent of the warships were shot down by seeker missile systems hidden in the shadows during the acceleration phase of faster-than-light flight.
But the worst thing was the fleet that retreated with the commander-in-chief. After capturing the pass, the Kamon did not choose to deploy at the wide horn surface, but used 2,000 warships to get stuck in the pass at the end of the mouth.
If the team wants to enter the pass, they must go deep into the trumpet, and when all the warships have penetrated the pass, the fleet that has pressed over from the Biel Line will appear from the rear.
The Blue Domain people who are attacked on their backs can only keep moving forward and seize the pass, but the further they advance, the narrower the pass, and the more their firepower is attenuated.
I don't know who was the first to spread rumors that the rear passes were routed on all fronts, and everyone evacuated freely!
The entire fleet dispersed, which immediately made the breakthrough team, which had already had the upper hand, lose its advantage immediately. The escape of the battleship and the space-time distortion caused by the faster-than-light flight interfered with other warships that did not keep a safe distance, causing a series of explosions in the originally narrow pass, and the concussion of the explosion seriously damaged the army formation that was still stubbornly resisting the enemy on its back, and the fleet army from the Beale Line was like harvesting leeks, and the encircled Blue Domain fleet was all knocked down. The entire fleet was almost completely annihilated.
He Yongnian, who replaced Chu Tiankuo Pingzu Pass, has been promoted to the rank of general guarding the pass. Taking history as a mirror to know the rise and fall, the history of the Carmon invasion war has been analyzed countless times by many historians and military scientists. There are many reasons for this, such as:
[Insufficient control of the army by the general leading the troops: The first defection that disobeyed the military order attenuated the offensive and defensive strength of the capture team to a certain extent, which greatly extended the time to capture the pass and shortened the attack time of the fleet defending the Birr defense line in the rear. γ
[The morale of the army is scattered, and rumors are spreading: The most direct factor that led to the collapse of the whole front is the rumor of the defeat of the rear army, which exposes the cohesion of the team, the way of information reporting, and the ability to deal with emergencies There are huge mistakes, and it also lays the foundation for the later army to strengthen the response to emergencies and refute rumors in information sharing. γ
But in He Yongnian's view, none of the above factors are important. The most important factor is that there are huge hidden dangers in the arming of Pingzu Pass.
After seizing Pingzu Pass for the second time, Chu Tiankuo, the former general guarding the pass, used the Skynet project, which combined attack and defense, so that the Kamon fleet could not reach Pingzu Pass before it was intercepted and consumed. However, with the triggering of the stellar storm, under the decision of the Blue Domain House of Representatives and high-level officials, the Skynet project also officially came to an end, which directly led to Chu Tiankuo, the planner of the Skynet project, falling to Dewey.
At the beginning of He Yongnian's tenure, he had a fleet of 50,000 troops stationed at the Horn Wide Pass. It seems that Chu Tiankuo, who is a non-military scientist, really doesn't know how to arrange troops.
50,000 warships may seem like a huge scale, but they are nothing to mention in the face of the tail end of the horn, which is measured in astronomical units.
"After all, he is a navigator, and he may have the opportunity to use his professional advantages to intersect robbery. But the real arrangement of troops still requires real military scientists, maybe when the Kamon people attacked Pingzu Pass, it was basically this kind of defense! β
As soon as He Yongnian took office, he withdrew the deployment at the wide mouth of the horn, and all the warships retreated to the thin mouth in the pass.
Of the 50,000 warships, 30,000 are V86 warships, and 20,000 are traditional composite warships. Chu Tiankuo ordered all the composite warships to release the airships and divide them into two groups to patrol and guard outside Pingzu Pass and light years away according to a complex set of routes and frequencies designed by himself.
In this way, even if the entire Kamon battleship is sent to capture the pass, it is more than enough to support the arrival of reinforcements with the reaction time won by the patrol boats in advance observation and the guardian warships in the pass.
Doing this is enough to make people feel at ease, but He Yongnian is far from being satisfied with this, in his opinion, it is only a matter of time before the Blue Domain enters Kamon again, once the battle line is extended, the Carmon people will definitely outflank from behind again, and retake the level is the only choice on the road to outflanking.
In order to avoid this situation again, it was necessary to fundamentally change the topography of Pingzu Pass, and as a result, the "wide-mouth shrinkage project," which was even more extensive than the Skynet project, began. Countless engineering ships departed from the home planet and gathered here, busy day and night under the command of He Yongnian.
He Yongnian has already surveyed the terrain here, and the black hole created by the Kamon people on the side of the pass in the last battle of Pingzu Pass can be used as a huge obstacle to attacking across the Pingzu Pass from the direction of Kamon, taking advantage of these advantages, He Yongnian has calculated that without changing the density and continuity of the celestial bodies outside the Guangkou Pass, shortening the pass by a quarter can achieve the same effect as the narrow end of the pass, in that way, the entire Pingzu Pass will change from a trumpet type to a shuttle type with two narrow ends and thick middle.
At that time, it has become a fool's dream for the Kamon people to go around the customs without knowing that there is no defense map of the pass. However, an incident happened today, which greatly hit He Yongnian's confidence in his well-designed arming. A Kamon orc piloted a large warship, and actually bypassed the patrol boat team and the border road defense, and swaggered in front of the guard fleet. If it weren't for the Kamon star emblem engraved on the battleship with the words "God holds up the sun", the soldiers guarding the gate would have thought they had met their own people.
The comer's expression was relaxed, his demeanor was natural, and he told the guards lightly. He wants to rebel, he wants to surrender.
He Yongnian listened, and was stunned for a while, since dealing with the Carmon people, the Blue Regions people have tried every possible way, both soft and hard, coercion and temptation, and there has never been a case of the Kamon people surrendering after all the methods have been exhausted. For this first defector, He Yongnian decided to meet in person.
The person who came was a cow man, the horns had been cut in half, one leg was lame, and he was dressed in rags, only a fine, smooth silver belt with a cold light was tied around his waist, so that He Yongnian knew at a glance that this was not an ordinary thing.
"What's your name and why did you come to defect?"
"I am Wujiang, and I believe that I am the first Kamon person to come to surrender, but I firmly believe that there will be more and more such people in the future. A great flood that drowned the whole of Carmon and completely washed away Gulista's pseudo-theism. I'm a person of courage, I'm not afraid of Gulista's directional instant killing skills and don't surrender, I just want to save our orcs, I'm the first to surrender, there will be more and more such people in the future. β
"Okay, tell me how you got in. Don't tell me that by chance, the probability of happening to get around is no less than the probability of a galaxy giving birth to an ecosystem. β
"This man has told me a way to release Carmon's information to the Blue Domain before." Wujiang said, and took a photo of Hanis on the table, He Yongnian looked at it fixedly, and then thought carefully: it was Hanis who died heroically on a mission in Kamon
"But, even he won't tell you about the defenses here, he doesn't know."
"Yes, he doesn't know, but he knows the star map he imported into the getaway battleship! I took it from there! β
He Yongnian was shocked, and then grabbed the neck of the cowman, but the neck was too thick to hold at all, so he could only pull the ear of the cowman and ask sharply: "Who else has seen that star map?"
"No one has seen it, after your spy had an accident, I happened to be ordered to clean the scene, and I unplugged the storage, but I'm not sure if Aimo had seen it."
"Aimo?" He Yongnian felt a little shocked, this is the god of war who has always been feared, and it is said that the wars he commanded have never been defeated.
"Yes, Carmon's Battle Angel, he got to the volley before me, I guess he saw it." Seeing that He Yongnian didn't speak, Wujiang carefully said an even more shocking news: "Because Camon is attacking Pingzu Pass with the whole team."
"Attack Pingzu Pass?" He Yongnian was shocked as he wished, "How many fleets." β
"100,000 warships of all Carmon."
After He Yongnian listened, he swept away the nervous expression just now, and laughed: "One hundred thousand? You orc really dare to say, have you ever seen the world, the Camon fleet reserves, just take out a formation to more than that. β
But the cattle man had a serious face, a calm expression, and was not happy or angry, "I know you don't believe it, but what I want to tell you is: Carmon has consumed too much over the years, in what you have seen before, Carmon does not have so many ships, but in recent years, energy is scarce, resources are depleted, science and technology are stagnant, orcs cannot be transformed, resulting in loss of productivity, the battleship is bad, and the damage cannot be repaired, even if it is repaired so much, there is no energy support, there are only 150,000, 100,000 attack here, and 50,000 defend the home." β
Hearing this, He Yongnian's expression returned to seriousness, and at this time, Wujiang continued to speak: "I know you don't believe it, but I tell you, you have enough reason to believe me, because I conspired with your spies from the Blue Domain to plan the big riot, and I am also one of the contacts you have with our Dark Moon Special Operations Team. We will tell you exactly what your communications are about and how your information is progressing. β
"Well, if what you say is true. What conditions do you want. β
"I, there is only one condition, after eliminating the insects, I will carve out a piece of land for our orcs in Gaia!"
He Yongnian did not let Wujiang go back, but "protected" him in a closed room of the command ship. He said that the information of the traitor of Carmon was transmitted back to the Blue Domain home planet, but he received a reply: "The FΓΌhrer has been forcibly elevated, and all affairs are handled by the front line".
He Yongnian felt that something was wrong, and at this moment, a patrol boat hurriedly connected to the general's special emergency caller: "Report to the general, the movement of the large-scale fleet of Fakamon marching towards Pingzu Pass."
"How many ships?"
"A lot." The patrolman paused, then went on to report: "About 100,000."
