Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1098
Reinforcements arrived in time, crushing this round of attack led by the Kunyang Army.

Of course, it is not the ground battlefield that determines the outcome, but the space battlefield.

In order to support the defenders on the Shan star, and to defend the Shan star, the Human Federation not only dispatched [-] legions, but also sent a main fleet.Although it is still not as large as the fleet of the Bingyu clan, the main fleet of the Human Federation achieved a key victory through a surprise attack.

In fact, this fleet decisive battle is also related to Yu Qingyu.

At that time, according to the order issued by the military department, when the Kunyang army began to attack the second fortress, Yu Qingyu issued an order to break out, and to be precise, he began to prepare for the breakout.Before the main fleet of the Human Federation arrived, the defenders officially launched a breakout operation.Although it was just a feint, it effectively restrained the Bingyu clan fleet, that is, let the Bingyu clan fleet disperse to chase the spaceship that broke out.As a result, when the main fleet of the Human Federation arrived, the fleet of the Bingyu clan had already dispersed, and it was impossible to compete with the main fleet of the Human Federation.When the Bingyu clan fleet discovered the main fleet of the Human Federation, it was too late to organize and mobilize.With the scattered warships of the Bingyu clan fighting independently, let alone contending with the main fleet of the Human Federation, they couldn't even resist.

Without the support and cover of the Bingyu clan fleet, the Kunyang clan army was obviously unable to capture Shan Xing.

Of course, the battle around Yan Xing is not over.

After that, the fleet of the Bingyu clan made a comeback, and fought several fleet decisive battles around Shan Xing and the main fleet of the Human Federation, with each winning and losing.The Kunyang Clan Legion and the Bingyu Clan Legion did not evacuate either, but relied on the captured fortress to contend with the Human Legion.Because neither side has an absolute advantage, at least there is no way to prevent the arrival of the other side's warships and spaceships, so both sides have nothing to do with their opponents.

This situation lasted for nine years, until the four second-rate top civilizations launched the next round of all-out attacks before it came to an end.

Although Yu Qingyu did not leave Shan Xing immediately after the reinforcements arrived, and still commanded the siege of the Kunyang Army as the commander of the Shan Xing garrison, but three years later, when the enemy was temporarily helpless, the army A transfer order from the Ministry made Yu Qingyu leave this place of fame.

At this time, Yu Qingyu was already a well-known hero in the Human Federation.

Strictly speaking, the battle Yu Qingyu commanded on the Shan star was not really the key, at least not to the extent that it could determine the survival of the Human Federation.However, given the circumstances at the time, the Human Federation urgently needed to create a hero who could inspire people and let everyone see hope, a hero similar to Xiao Wentian.Yu Qingyu persisted with a small number of troops on the Shan star for a year, which reminded many people of the original lighthouse star offensive and defensive battle.Besides, Yu Qingyu is the son of Yu Zhen and the descendant of Yu Tingxuan, and he is also very famous.Combining these factors, the military department took a fancy to him, and carried out publicity, making him a great hero to save the human federation.

Of course, on the contrary, Yu Qingyu was also promoted exceptionally to major general.

According to the relevant regulations of the Human Federation, the rank of major general corresponds to the commander of a legion, that is, he has the qualification to command multiple legions to fight together.

It's just that it was not the military department that really took a fancy to Yu Qingyu at that time, but the Yu family, Yuzhen to be precise.

The key is the defensive tactics used by Yu Qingyu in Yan Xing.

Although the federal authorities and the military have never admitted it, and the two previous large-scale battles have ended with the Human Federation winning the final victory, or blocking the enemy's attack, but in terms of overall strength, the Human Federation is still Absolute weakness.The Human Federation was able to win the two large-scale battles, not because it was strong, but because of the preparatory work and the solid foundation laid by Yu Linglong.More importantly, while winning, the Human Federation also suffered huge losses and paid an extremely heavy price.By the time Yu Qingyu left Shan Xing and returned to his home galaxy, the Human Federation was at the end of its battle.

At that time, less than one-fifth of the main legions formed by the Human Federation before the war had relatively complete combat capabilities, and only half of the reserve legions mobilized and formed during the war had sufficient strength.Almost all legions have the problem of lack of personnel, and the recruits mobilized by the Human Federation are not enough to make up for the huge battle consumption, unable to provide supplements for each legion, and even the main force cannot be guaranteed.It can even be said that the offensive and defensive battle of Shan Xing will become the last straw that overwhelms the Human Federation.Because losses are inevitable, even if you can keep Shan Xing, it's just a flashback, and it can't be maintained for a long time.

To put it simply, based on the situation at the time, if the Human Federation did not seek changes, it would be completely destroyed after the enemy launched a third round of large-scale attacks.

The question is, how to change?
In fact, the federal authorities and top military officials have been seeking changes, but they have never found the right direction.

Yu Qingyu pointed out the direction for these people during the offensive and defensive battle of Yanxing, especially the early tactics.

At that time, Yuzhen was the first to realize this.

For the next six years, Yu Zhen continued to be active, using his influence to support and assist Yu Qingyu.By the time the offensive and defensive battle of Shan Xing was over, that is, when the Bingyu and Kunyang tribes voluntarily withdrew their troops, Yu Qingyu had been promoted to general, and he was the youngest general at that time.

At this point, Yu Qingyu's era officially began.

In the second year after the Yanxing offensive and defensive war ended, the four second-rate top civilizations launched the third round of offensive, which is the third full-scale battle called by the Human Federation.

At the beginning of the battle, Yu Qingyu only obtained limited command authority, that is, he was responsible for guarding a certain line of defense.During this period, the human legion still adopted the previous tactics, that is, to fight the enemy to the death on all the main fronts, never give up any star system, and will not take the initiative to retreat.The result is that although huge sacrifices have been made, and thousands of officers and soldiers have followed suit, the human legions in all directions still have not been able to stop the enemy's advance.At that time, the only exception was the battle line guarded by Yu Qingyu.Because on this front, Yu Qingyu adopted the tactics of guarding the star. When the enemy launched an attack, he destroyed all the nearby star systems within hundreds of light-years, forcing the enemy to attack the key guarded by the human legion. The planet, thus making full use of the advantages of the human legions who are good at fighting defensive warfare.More importantly, because the troops are concentrated on one battlefield, it is not difficult for the enemy with superior military strength to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, at least they cannot fully exert their superior military strength, and they cannot win quickly.

By this time, the military had to admit and accept the defensive tactics proposed by Yu Qingyu.

Next, that is, the second half of the third full-scale battle, the human legion followed suit on various defense lines, successfully curbing the enemy's advance speed.By the end of the third full-scale battle, Yu Qingyu had become a general and was nominated as a marshal.According to the unwritten rules, after being promoted to marshal, Yu Qingyu will gain command of the human legion and become the commander-in-chief of the human legion.

At that time, not only the military department, but also the federal authorities will have to obey his orders.

Because of his outstanding performance in the third all-out battle, especially when he stopped the enemy's attack and held the original line of defense without suffering heavy losses, so if nothing else, Yu Qingyu will definitely win in the third battle. After the end of the first full-scale battle, he became the first marshal of the Human Federation in this war.If Yu Qingyu commanded the human legion and strictly implemented the defensive tactics proposed by him, then in the following hundreds of years, even if the human federation could not win, it would not be a crushing defeat.More importantly, as long as the main star system in the fourth northern region can be defended, inflicting heavy damage on the enemy will hopefully force the enemy to agree to a truce and peace talks.

Obviously, Yu Qingyu has lighted up hope for the Human Federation, and it is the first time since the start of the war that there is hope for a truce.

In fact, this is also Yu Qingyu's greatest contribution, that is, to point out the direction for the Human Federation, and let everyone realize that only by adopting this kind of tactic of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, and being mentally prepared for a last stand, instead of thinking about how to keep vested interests, human beings Only the Federation can resist a powerful enemy, and only then can it hope to persist until the day of victory.It is with such hope that the Human Federation can unite as one.

With this alone, Yu Qingyu is qualified to be the commander of the Human Federation.

In fact, at the end of the third all-out battle, Yu Qingyu was not only a well-known hero, but also a model and idol for everyone.Not only the officers and soldiers in the army, but even ordinary people regard him as an object of imitation, and believe that he is today's Xiao Wentian.It can be said that even without the support of the Yu family, Yu Qingyu could still sit on the throne of marshal by virtue of his high reputation.

However, it was still controversial at the time whether to award Yu Qingyu the rank of Marshal, or to be precise, the absolute power to command everything.

The point is that Yu Qingyu's tactics are too extreme.

Although this tactic effectively resisted powerful enemies, the cost was too high.During the third full-scale battle, more than 1 star systems were destroyed by the human legion alone, and most of the inhabitants of the star systems failed to escape, and all became victims of the war.It is also true that there are voices against Yu Qingyu in the federal authorities and the military. Some people even think that Yu Qingyu should be sent to a military court and executed for crimes against humanity.Some people also suggested that Yu Qingyu was not defending the Human Federation at all, but a spy sent by the enemy. Everything he did was to attack the Human Federation, and his ultimate goal was to destroy the Human Federation.

These voices of opposition eventually turned into a disaster.

Shortly after the end of the third full-scale battle, the federal authorities passed a resolution to promote Yu Qingyu as a marshal and grant absolute ruling power with the majority support.

At that time, no one thought that someone would regard Yu Qingyu as an enemy and would assassinate him at the award ceremony.

Someone may have thought of it, or expected it, but no one in the know took action to stop it, and no one even came forward to issue a warning.
