Showdown, my deck is from the East.

Chapter 1194: Battle for Guangling

After the defeat of the Demon Navy, the sea power fell into the hands of others. The Heavenly Court fleet advanced in a pincer movement, and two shuttles moved forward. The Heavenly Laws have already eroded the four planets at the forefront of the Demon Realm (the star officials named them Zuoyun Star, Yungang Star, Hunyuan Star and Guangling Star) and the surrounding star regions. The geographical and hydrological data within a radius of 4 stars are at risk of exposure.

The Battle of Clouds broke out. The total mass of the army that both sides had invested in preparations before the war was nearly 9 stars. Such a large-scale mobilization of troops even caused celestial anomalies. It was foreseeable that the scale of the war would inevitably exceed the Battle of Cybertron.

This will be the largest land war between alien races since the Second World War.

The order from the Worm Queen was not to give up an inch of land, but the demon commander guarding here was the Living Scourge, the Scavenger, the Colorful Shell, Exus.

Exus killed its eight older brothers and sisters in the ovaries of the insect queen. Among the same generation, it only allowed younger brothers and sisters than itself to be born and used by it.

Before becoming an adult, he fought in many battles and participated in the fall of the Third Dynasty. After becoming an adult, he became a fierce star. During the civil war among the demons, he killed six generals under the command of the King of Plague and gradually took the position of commander of the army group.

Exus is not a three-dimensional life form, but it is currently located on the erosion planet. Under the influence of the Heavenly Law, it unfolds on the cloud harbor carpet, and its breath sounds like thunder.

"Stupid, what does a reproductive tool know about fighting?" He could not hide his disdain in his tone when he thought of his mother's order.

(When two armies fight, rules collide first. The mathematics, humanities, geography, physics rules, etc. of both sides have been contested. Yujing civilization has the upper hand in cultural rules. The pheromone communication unique to the insect swarm sounds like language to humans, and they can understand it both by hearing and reading.)
Although his subordinates felt that the Worm Queen was supreme and inviolable, Exus was definitely not a merciful general, so it was better not to express their opinions.

"Pass on my order. Uproot the plants, prepare to migrate, and abandon Zuoyun, Yungang, Hunyuan, and Guangling. All ejectors launch stealth worms and spore mines into the planetary orbit. Before leaving, completely acidify the atmosphere, parasitize the water source, pollute the star core, and destroy all available resources! Quick, the Tianjing people are coming!"

Exus's order was quickly transmitted back to the big nest, and the insect queen was so angry that she had contractions!
Damn it!

It was asked to defend its territory, and the enemy just made an attacking gesture, so it gave up four whole planets.

Pain, heartache to the point of blurring out.
In order to produce more powerful combat power, he has to eat a large amount of planetary materials every day, and then work hard in the harem of the nest. In order to carefully select high-quality components and genes, he has to visit so many strange-looking concubines!
"Rebellious son! You have really grown your wings and dared to disobey me!" The insect mother trembled all over: "You are still useful now, but when my child is born, I will take away your military power and twist off your shell to use as a birthing basin!"

At the same time, in Tianjing’s Tianji Tower and Junshu Pavilion.

"Investigate further and report back!" Northern Expedition Commander Lu Cheng, Generals Wei Qing and Li Jing, Yulin General Huo Qubing, and strategist Jia Xu all looked at the report in front of them with solemn expressions.

Just now, the Tissot naval observer reported.

Floating clouds and flying insect migration activities were detected between Zuoyun and Hunyuan stars. The atmospheric and hydrological conditions in Zuoyun are rapidly deteriorating, and the habitability is rapidly falling from suitable to extreme.

This news was first known to Sima Yi and Jiang Ziya, who unanimously decided to let Kuafu leap forward to stop it all, but was blocked by a minefield and it was estimated to take 164 years.

"What do you think?" The generals looked at each other.

"Scorched earth strategy." Huo Qubing and Jia Xu said in unison. In the pre-war military exercise, they played the role of the demon army group, and Uncle Jia used this tactic: "He is a good fighter. It's a bit tricky."

This time, the demon general is definitely not incompetent!
With sea power in hand and the Xia army at its peak, it would not be difficult for them to land on the four stars of Yunzhou under the cover of naval guns. As long as they captured at least two stars as supply stations and transit stations, they could move a large amount of industry and logistics forward.

The subsequent deployment will be extremely fast, the moves will be continuous, and the troops will soon radiate to the central part of Yunzhou, threatening the rear of the demons. However, being too strong will break easily, and all the generals present know that this time, their foundation is not very stable.

Having just suffered a blow to agriculture, it is still in the process of recovery. After expanding its military, although its strength is strong, its resource consumption is greater than before.

If the enemy cuts off one of its own arms, abandons the frontier star zone, and creates an unlandable zone of nearly 50 stars, it means that the enemy will have no springboard and the supply line will be greatly extended.

To give a simple example, if the Pansy Cave runs out of spiritual energy and returns to the supply station for replenishment, it can quickly support the army. If there is no transit station, it can only return to Shaling Port!

If this punch hits cotton, there will be nothing you can do next and you will have to call it a day.

From a strategic point of view, we did gain something by destroying four stars of the enemy without losing a single soldier. However, subsequent military operations could not be carried out, and not only could we not expand the victory, but we also had to disarm. The landing weapons were also produced in vain, right?
In the end, after all the efforts, it was considered a small victory.

Can this little profit offset the enemy's upcoming air superiority?

not necessarily
"Commander, the situation is urgent. It is not easy to completely destroy the planet. According to the military simulation, our army should respond immediately and abandon the other three strategic targets. We should seize one of them at all costs before the enemy does."

If you are decisive, I am decisive too. If you give up, I give up too!
Lu Cheng thought about it for a moment.

According to the plan, in order for the subsequent attack waves to be fully launched, at least two intact transit stations are needed. However, if we fight for both transit stations at the same time now, we may end up getting nothing.

Plans are plans, but the enemy is not a puppet and it is impossible for them to follow all of our plans.

To be able to destroy so many civilizations and still stand today, in addition to cheating, there must be a lot of talented and ambitious people. The scorched earth tactic, exchanging a small loss for space, is simply brilliant.

Abandon three and keep one, the question now is, which one to keep?
Lu Cheng's psychological activities were intense.

As the Chief Engineer of Heaven, he is usually responsible for planetary transformation, battleship and landform carving, etc.

After reviewing the hydrological data yesterday, I have gained a preliminary understanding of the materials, landforms, and climates of the four major planets.

Zuoyun has medium-sized resources, but its atmosphere is thin, its geology is hard, and its ecosystem is strong, making it the most difficult to destroy.

The enemy general seemed to have anticipated the tactic of abandoning three to protect one, so he concentrated his forces to destroy the most difficult one first, and was determined not to leave any behind.

Lu Cheng simply closed his five senses and deduced frantically.

Where will the enemy start and how will they disrupt the gradual evolution in the spiritual platform?

Every profession has its specialties. You are indeed very knowledgeable about military tactics, but I guess you don’t know as much about geology as I do. There are still three left. Which one has the best chance of escaping the clutches?
"Guangling!" Lu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. "The navy from all regions is gathering towards the Guangling waters. The first troops to board are advancing at full speed! There is only one chance to strike, hurry!"
