Volume 1 Chapter 141: The Siege of Sarah
7 February 438 A.D. at 6 a.m
Early morning.
In the original world, the sky should have been white, representing hope that the morning light would sprinkle on the earth, and the birds would begin to sing.
But at this time, Ergou looked out of the gray window, dark clouds were thick, sporadic snowflakes were falling, and a nameless sense of depression fell in his heart.
Ergou is stationed in Sara City, and 7 days have passed, and these 7 days are actually extremely torturous for Ergou.
It is necessary not only to deploy defense, but also to arrange the living and working of the aborigines of Sara City.
Although there are relevant people to assist Ergou in completing these tasks, Ergou's mood is not easy.
Since the day of the capture of the city of Sara, the orc troops have sent several batches of troops.
There are ground troops, unmanned attack aircraft formations, and even orc infantry carried by airships, harassing and causing trouble at various ground bases in Ergou.
The number of enemies dispatched by the orcs each time is not large, and they are all sent to death, obviously the enemy army is testing the true strength of the two dogs, looking for flaws.
But in the past three days, the orcs have completely disappeared.
Why didn't the orc troops come to investigate?
Sara City, with such an important strategic position, is it possible that the orc troops are afraid of us?
Don't dare to come? Gave up? Or is it that the enemy has our intelligence and is preparing a real counterattack?
A series of questions surfaced one by one in Ergou's heart.
Ergou's heart became more and more uneasy.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles, and Ergou's uneasiness at this time comes more from his unknown to the enemy.
The strategic military city, Sara City's strong production and technological capabilities, is undoubtedly a powerful boost for the Ergou side.
But the importance of Sara City, for the fledgling Ergou, has just become a hot potato, how to face the counterattack of millions of orc troops?
That's a problem!
Soon, Ergou's worries were no longer a problem, and his worries became a reality.
Morning 7. 30 o'clock
In Sara City's huge underground command center, operators in neat military uniforms are busy with various instruments.
Ergou was called by Anna, and the eighteenth sister, Zuo Wei, Captain Liu, Captain Li Yang, Daniel, Xiaohong, and other officers all arrived.
On the big screen, the split screen displays the real-time picture transmitted back by the reconnaissance plane in front.
Looking at the four split-screen areas on the big screen, all of them were crammed with enemy airships, and Ergou, who woke up for more than a month, finally knew what it meant to regret.
The four split screens are the quadrangular airspace outside the city of Sara, east, west, north and south.
This shows that at this time, the city of Sara was surrounded by an army of orcs in all directions.
"What area is this hostile situation?"
Ergou calmed down and asked the operator.
"Report to the General! In the airspace of 300 kilometers east of the city of Sara, unmanned reconnaissance planes have discovered large-scale enemy air targets, and 200 transport airships and 20 large variable-rotor unmanned reconnaissance planes have been discovered, and the number is still increasing.
Report General! In the airspace north of the city of Sara, 300 kilometers, unmanned reconnaissance planes have discovered large-scale enemy air targets, and 190 transport airships and 21 large variable-rotor unmanned reconnaissance planes have been discovered, and the number is still increasing.
Report General! To the west of the city of Sara, the enemy was found to be the same....
Report General! South of the city of Sara, the enemy is the same....."
Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, operators, constantly report on their airspace and the enemy situation they have discovered.
Everyone present at this time was shocked in their hearts, even if they predicted the enemy in advance, they might have a million troops.
But on this day, I saw with my own eyes the dense enemy flying machines on the big screen, which instantly surrounded Sara City, and I felt terrible in my heart.
Each of those behemoths was a green hard airship that Ergou had captured in Sara City.
Hard airship: Also known as "monocoque" and "heavy airship", it has a complete metal skeleton that maintains its external shape regardless of whether it is inflated or not.
The orc's single cargo airship, an oval airship with a length of 200 meters and a width of 50 meters, carries a huge light metal cargo compartment under it, and is 60 meters high.
Ergou's fully equipped mecha warriors can carry more than a hundred at a time, and if it is an orc soldier, it is estimated that there will be no less than 400 fighters.
On a large screen, there is an overwhelming number of cargo airships, the number is still increasing, and the faster variable rotor transport aircraft has begun to land, ready to unload the fighters.
"Are there really so many enemies? Now it's fun! ”
Anna was not at all intimidated by the number of enemies and was gearing up, looking forward to the upcoming battle.
"Thousands of flying machines? Are orcs really so powerful? What would happen if so many airships flew directly to Sara City? ”
The eighteenth sister was also shocked.
"Our anti-aircraft missiles can at least shoot down more than half, 1,000 ships, but it seems that the enemy's cargo airships will not be less than 1,500."
Zovi estimated how to deal with such a large number of enemies.
"The electromagnetic cannon deployed in our Sara City has a range of 400 kilometers, and it can be attacked now, the problem is that the electromagnetic cannon needs to be stored, and the rate of fire is only three rounds a minute, such a number of flying machines."
Captain Liu is obviously also worried about the next countermeasures.
"It's over, it's only been a week since Sara City was freed, and it's time to return to orc rule, let's retreat, General Dog!"
Looking at the enemy troops on the screen, the fat Daniel directly made a suggestion to escape.
"Drone operators, pay attention to our drones to hide and keep reconnaissance.
I need all the data of enemy aircraft, flight speed, carrying capacity, unloading speed.
Signal Corps, give me all the ground bases, command centers. ”
General Ergou directly ignored the proposal of the fat Daniel and calmly gave the order.
"Yes, General!"
The correspondent quickly connected to the command center of the base in various places.
General Gaia at the stadium base, Lieutenant Claire.
General Peter Pan of the C City Base, Captain Liu Guoguang.
Captain Zhang Fei of the City A base, Lieutenant Ray-Ban.
Captain Tang San of the B City base, captain of Sanbao.
Captain Xia Yinggui of Benjamin's Town, and Lieutenant Mia.
appeared on the big screen, in the major split screens, and greeted Ergou in unison.
"General Ergou!"
"Okay, the military situation is urgent, so I won't be polite to everyone.
We predicted before the war that the enemy might attack at the million-level level, and now that it has really appeared, have you found the enemy situation in your bases at present? ”
The two dogs directly inquired about the enemy situation at each base.
"No, no.." Reports came from various bases.
"No news is the worst news, the enemy is completing the projection of troops besieging the city of Sara at this time, and it is expected that when it is completed, it will not be less than a million troops.
We previously estimated that the enemy was stationed in Armstrong City, with a million troops, which was a serious underestimation of the enemy, and now that it is easy to dispatch a million strong divisions, how many troops will they have in their base?
I announced that the entire base, activated the emergency plan, entered the first level of combat readiness, and all non-combatants were urgently evacuated to the small town of Benjamin.
If Benjamin's town is also attacked, Captain Xia Yinggui, you are responsible for activating the S-class evacuation plan! ”
General Ergou, who had fine beads of sweat on his head, announced that he would go to the base in various places and enter the first level of combat readiness.
"Millions of orcs? Don't you need our support for the siege of Sarah? ”
In an instant, the command hall was noisy, all worried about Sara City, where the two dogs were stationed.
"Everyone, be quiet, Sara City doesn't need you to worry about it at the moment, do a good job in the defense of your base, Captain Xia Yinggui? What are you going to say? ”
General Ergou tried his best to maintain order, such a large-scale battle was the first time General Ergou had commanded, and he found that Captain Xia Yinggui seemed to have something to say.
"Report to General Ergou, I contacted Chairman Musk in advance, and Chairman Musk is sending an official letter to the orc organization in the name of the World Chamber of Commerce.
The detailed briefing, Chuxin Farm, belongs to the World Chamber of Commerce and is protected by the World Chamber of Commerce.
I believe that this move can protect the town of Benjamin from the attack of the orcs. ”
Captain Xia Yinggui reported on the progress of the work at hand.
"Very good, World Chamber of Commerce, sure enough, is not afraid of orcs.
In this way, our ground combat personnel will really have a way out.
I repeat, the large-scale attack of the orcs, most likely, is irresistible to us this time, and all bases are to evacuate non-combatants immediately.
Once a large-scale attack is discovered at each base, we must not fall in love with the war, and the safety of our fighters is the first priority!
If you find out about the enemy situation and report it immediately, do you understand? ”
General Ergou, tell each base in every detail.
"Roger! Honor! The commanders simply replied to the general's orders.
"Team Liu reports, the enemy's movements in Sara City!"
Ergou asked, Liu team, who had been paying attention to the enemy situation on the outskirts of Sara City.
"General, the terrain around Sara City is open and flat.
Such a position, although favorable, the city of Sara was defended against the attack of the enemy by the city's fortifications.
It is also beneficial for the stationing, offensive of a large-scale enemy, especially mechanized corps.
It has now been proved that the enemy has dispatched 2,500 large aircraft, all of which are carrying out troop projection.
It is expected that after half an hour, the enemy will complete the ground delivery of a million troops. ”
Team Liu's tone was not difficult to hear his nervousness.
"On such a large scale? It looks like the enemy will not be less than a million troops!
Anna, send the command.
Start the lone wolf plan immediately, the sky wolf is waiting for the opportunity to start, and the water wolf is out at full speed!
Was the presence of an enemy commander, or a suspected command ship, detected? ”
General Ergou's face became more and more difficult to look at.
"Execute it now! Dogs! ”
Anna Howe didn't procrastinate, walked to the console and started the operation.
"At present, no enemy commander has been found, did the general dispatch our drones to take the enemy by surprise when they are unable to counterattack?"
Team Liu asked.
"How many unmanned attack aircraft can we use at the moment?" Ergou asked.
"Complete drones, eight hundred, but there are not enough air-launched missiles that can be equipped, 400 and less than 600 rockets." The eighteenth sister replied.
