Chapter 629 Headache
When Yang Jiewei, once one of the three stars of the empire, arrived with two regiments, only roasted insects were left at the scene.
Fortunately, all members of the elite reconnaissance team survived.
However, the team leader told him a bizarre story.
Yang Jiewei frowned.
Beating up the insects with your physical body and transforming into a god of fire to save the world, isn't that nonsense?
County Chief Lin is a human, not a god. How could he do such a thing?
"You should go to Mr. Li for some guidance," Yang Jiewei said.
The captain's hazy thoughts suddenly cleared, and he thought, "That's right. How do I know that Sheriff Lin won't wear transparent air armor? How do I know that there won't be a portable Super Gundam F91? Are the legendary nanorobots and invisibility functions impossible? The realm of science is endless. Sheriff Lin is already far ahead of us. I should strive to catch up. How can I doubt science itself?"
He made up his mind to study hard, research science, and catch up with County Governor Lin.
Yang Jiewei called the headquarters directly, and the headquarters then passed the call to Lin Wen.
"Hey, County Chief Lin, I want to confirm something with you."
"Oh, the Fireball is the Gundam F91. Have you flown one before? Is it portable? Okay, okay, no problem."
"Well, I've already set up a siege. There are no insect people in Zhongzhou, so they are most likely lying in ambush nearby. I sent out thirty reconnaissance teams, and they found two ambushed insect people units."
"So there are four? Okay, okay, let's leave it to Fili. He likes aggressive offense and is best at expanding his advantage when he's in an advantageous position."
"Okay, I'll contact Mr. Zhao about the supply issue. I have no problems here. Chief of Staff Qin has already joined the battle. Her Strike Freedom is unstoppable. We only need to provide long-range fire support."
"By the way, County Chief Lin, where's my big robot? Since we're both three-star, please help me first... Hey, hey, damn, this is so biased. There are guys who are inhumane to the opposite sex. Isn't Miss Qin just a little prettier? Are you guys any less so?"
——
Soon, all four ambushed insect troops were defeated.
According to post-war statistics, more than 100,000 insect people were killed, and about half of them escaped.
This is also the most disadvantageous point for the Mecha Corps - they cannot catch up with the fleeing Zergmen.
The Zergman's burst speed can reach up to two hundred yards, and the exoskeleton armor cannot run that fast. If it is a long-distance pursuit, unless the battery is replaced, its endurance will not be as long as the Zergman.
Yang Jiewei was well aware that all indicators of the exoskeleton armor were actually weaker than those of the Zerg. Its only advantage was that it could use weapons, knew how to utilize tactics, and could cooperate with each other.
In a nutshell, there are many good brothers.
Therefore, Yang Jiewei and Xu Feili did not pursue the defeated insect people with force, so as to avoid the formation being scattered and the good brothers being unable to take care of each other and being picked off by the insect people.
Only Qin Luoshuang could pursue for a while, but he didn't gain much and usually returned after using up his electromagnetic cannon.
This time the battle did not have the help of "good luck", and the losses were much greater than the last time.
More than 3,000 exoskeleton armors were damaged, more than 2,000 people were injured, and more than 1,000 people were killed in the battle.
Under the chairmanship of Yang Jiewei, the officers held a brief farewell ceremony for the dead, and then cremated them. The ashes were placed in the "Eternal Survivors" cemetery specially set up in Changshan County.
Corresponding pensions were also distributed to the families.
Changshan County has no problems in this regard.
The tragic loss made Lin Wen intuitively feel the power of the insect people.
This was when he personally participated in the battle. The enhanced [Fire Magic] was extremely powerful. The small fireballs erupting everywhere greatly disturbed the insect people, burning and injuring countless people.
It’s just that his soul was consumed too quickly, so Lin Wen had to turn it off early.
In subsequent statistics, Lin Wen's number of kills was not as high as Qin Luoshuang's.
This also made him understand a truth more deeply: without cultivation, the power of offensive spells is very limited, far from the level of clearing the world with a wave of the hand.
On the front battlefield, it would be best for him to use his soul for auxiliary work and let the soldiers be the main output.
This is true even if the attack spell is strengthened.
He actually understood this principle a long time ago, but now that he is stronger, he is a little arrogant.
Mentality is indeed very important. Otherwise, if you are feeling proud and then accidentally get overturned by the yellow-haired guy and NTR the senior sister in front of her, wouldn’t that be the end of you?
This kind of thing that causes death from poisoning must never happen to him.
However, although Lin Wen was deeply reflecting on himself, others did not think so. They were all very envious of Lin Wen's mecha.
The big fireball jumping in the air subverted their image of conventional mecha and gave them a magical sense of miracle.
Many generals came to ask Lin Wen about the situation, trying to get information about the new mecha in a roundabout way, trying to obtain the right to drive it.
Of course, Lin Wen refused, claiming that this was his car and he would not let anyone else drive it.
This caused great dissatisfaction. The generals had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally waited for the new mecha, but it was not for them.
What does this make people feel?
Their resentment was so strong that even Qin Luoshuang came to persuade him that as a leader, he should treat them all equally and not show any bias.
Even if there is, don't be so obvious.
Giving only two people a mecha would easily lead to misunderstandings.
Lin Wen was annoyed to death.
In the end, Li Linyue came out to help him out. She announced that the first mecha would be built for Xiao Qin because she was the strongest mecha operator besides Lin Wen.
The experimental machine must be operated by a strong person other than the manufacturer to ensure its safety and discover its hidden problems.
The second one was given to himself because he was the strongest among those who did not own a mecha.
There is no problem in distributing mechas smoothly according to their capabilities.
After this explanation, the situation was finally calmed down and it also inspired everyone to practice their skills hard.
It has to be said that Li Linyue understands how organizations operate very well. In a stable and large organization, subordinates are not afraid of the absence of such things, but are only afraid of unfairness, lack of transparency, and lack of rules, where everything is done based on the mood of the superiors.
Once she explained Lin Wen's methods, they could feel at ease.
Li Linyue also considerately told Lin Wen that when giving her the third mecha, he could claim it was a proposal gift for the princess, so that they would not have any complaints.
Lin Wen was overwhelmed by this and could only put these things behind him for the time being and focus on the front line.
After this battle, Zhongzhou officially changed its owner. Wang Boan returned to the Governor's Office and directly announced that he had joined the Changshan Group. His former subordinates quickly took control of Zhongzhou and, with the assistance of Changshan County, made every effort to rescue refugees, carry out disaster relief, restore order, and resume production.
The mecha corps did not stop its pace. Under Guo Feng's command, they quickly repaired and distributed new batteries to every soldier. The exhausted batteries were sent back to the energy factory for recharging.
Large amounts of ammunition and supplies were also transported quickly.
This is the real test of war - logistical supply capabilities.
It has to be said that Guo Feng and Mr. Zhao cooperated very well, but due to the limited vehicles in Changshan County, it still took some time.
After the repairs, the mecha army continued to advance and launched an attack on Dongqinzhou on the other side.
Lin Yabo Group came to its senses after suffering a crushing defeat.
Lin Yabo and Luo Nuo finally figured out that Changshan County was serious about this.
Not only did he take real action, but he also saw through their plan. Even though the insect people were hiding so secretly, they were still found.
Luo Nuo was really unbelievable. In the end, he could only get away with it by beheading five of his close confidants on the pretext that they had discovered a traitor and leaked information that led to the disastrous defeat.
But the furious Lin Yabo no longer trusted his allies.
He personally took command, gave up the dispute with Luo Yuanwuyao in Xiyanzhou, withdrew his troops, divided the insect people in Dongqinzhou into thirty-six groups, and sent troops from thirty-six directions, successfully achieving the great achievement of zero results.
He stuffed the big meat bun into Lin Wen's mouth.
Changshan County concentrated its superior forces to defeat the enemy one by one, achieving zero losses and zero casualties for the first time, and occupied Dongqinzhou without bloodshed.
Ling Huayue and Cheng Hexin, former members of the Dongqinzhou Governor's Office, led a large number of former officials back to Dongqinzhou, and quickly restored their rule over Dongqinzhou with the strong assistance of the First Princess Li Linyue and members of the royal faction.
The rescue team from Changshan County also entered Dongqinzhou to clear the flood and rescue the affected people.
The pseudo-government office established by Lin Yabo in Dongqinzhou was eliminated, all oppressive laws were suspended, and Dongqinzhou quickly restored its old order.
In the eyes of many leaders of the empire, the power of Changshan County expanded countless times almost in the blink of an eye. The Changshan Group headed by Lin Wen emerged in an astonishing manner and became the overlord dominating the area.
Li Linyue almost immediately realized that Changshan County's previous management model could no longer be used. She immediately formed a new organization, the "Alliance Front", with the slogan "Oppose tyranny and restore the glory of the empire", and incorporated Changshan County, Dongqinzhou, and Zhongzhou into the alliance front.
Lin Wen is the leader of the organization and she is the deputy leader.
In this way, the transformation of Changshan County's power was completed, breaking free from the constraints of the old mold and facilitating subsequent expansion.
I have to say that when it comes to playing this kind of political game, it still depends on Li Linyue.
In this regard, neither Zhao Minggong, Qin Luoshuang, Xia Xiaoxiang, nor Yang Shaohu are good enough.
Lin Wen was naturally even less capable. His original idea was to merge Zhongzhou and Dongqinzhou into Changshan County and rename them Zhongzhen and Dongqinzhen.
This idea was opposed by everyone. Only Lin Wen could come up with the idea of a town with a population of more than 80 million and more than 100 million.
The strong rise of Changshan County was beyond everyone's expectations, and the empire was changing so fast that everyone was overwhelmed.
Not long after the "Alliance Front" was established, Changshan County fought a tough battle with Lin Yabo's insect army at Hantong Pass on the border of East Qinzhou.
Unlike before, this is a head-on confrontation.
Lin Yabo assembled his main forces, no longer dispersed to attack on multiple fronts, no longer played tricks, and attacked Changshan County in a head-on manner.
The Changshan County Mecha Corps was fully mobilized, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides at Hantong Pass.
In this battle, all the major generals of Changshan County showed their prowess. The chief of staff fought in the front line, the deputy chief of staff commanded from the rear, and the commander-in-chief took advantage of the geographical advantage of Hantong Pass to repel Lin Yabo's insect army.
Lin Yabo suffered a huge loss.
The mecha corps of Changshan County is different from all other conventional troops. In terms of troop numbers, they have only 250,000 men, and in terms of heavy firepower, they are not top-notch.
But they are the most difficult enemy for the Zerg troops to fight.
Lin Yabo observed for a long time before finding the key:
——Their heavy firepower output points can be moved.
Unlike other forces, once the Zerg break through the blockade and come to close range, heavy firepower becomes useless and they can only be slaughtered.
In the war with Changshan County, his insect people rushed to the front with great difficulty, but when they saw that the heavy firepower was not right, they ran away.
Not only did he run, he also fought while running.
The Zerg chased farther and farther, deeper and deeper, and finally always rushed into the enemy's encirclement or firepower network, and was destroyed by the enemy in multiples.
Even if they were lucky enough to catch up, the insect people would not be able to complete the harvest.
Soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor can also resist and fight against the insect people.
Even if the resistance is broken, the insect sickle will need multiple consecutive attacks to tear through the armor. In most cases, the enemy's support has already arrived, and the insect people will be shattered by the subsequent firepower before they can break through the armor.
What’s worse is that there are some powerful soldiers who are not afraid of close combat at all, and they cannot defeat the insect people even if they get close.
Therefore, all advantages of the Zerg in the face of modern firepower are gone, and their weaknesses are exposed instead.
——You must get close to the target to attack.
In front of Changshan County's mecha army, their long-range weapons can unleash firepower at will, move firepower points to extend the depth, and use the advantage of range to form a local multi-man defense.
The weapons used by each of their soldiers are machine guns, or more powerful weapons, which can cause damage to the insects.
The insect people have no advantages over them, only disadvantages.
But if that were all, it wouldn't make Lin Yabo give up the fight.
You know, even after suffering continuous heavy losses, his insect army still has more than 700,000 people, his biochemical base is also accelerating the production of insects, and the gray zombies will soon take shape on a large scale.
Changshan County only has 250,000 troops, and their battle with the Zerg was not without losses. Changshan County has a weak foundation and weak overall strength, and its military supplies and logistics are certainly not able to keep up.
As long as he keeps fighting, he will definitely win.
However, during the fight, some very disgusting things kept happening.
There were things like the ground suddenly cracking when the insect people were charging, the mountain suddenly collapsing when the insect people were climbing, the insect people suddenly falling into a mud pit when they were chasing, an earthquake suddenly occurring when the insect people were retreating, and so on and so forth. It was really annoying.
In addition, all ambushes, sneak attacks, surprise attacks, and encirclements have become ineffective.
Changshan County always knew their tactics and took advantage of them.
Lin Yabo had no choice but to charge forward; any other tactics would only have the opposite effect.
The other side enjoyed ambushes, sneak attacks and encirclements.
The longer the battle went on, the more frustrating and depressing he became. Seeing that the insect army suffered heavy losses, Lin Yabo had to give up the attack and withdraw the insect army back to Zezhou.
He lost two major states in a row, and even spit out Xiyanzhou, which he had already got in his hands. Lin Yabo's power and territory were greatly reduced.
Changshan County occupied two major states and established an "alliance front". Its territory increased dozens of times and it has become a powerful group.
After this battle, the territory of Changshan County was finalized. No matter how unwilling Lin Yabo was, he had no choice but to accept defeat.
They can only accumulate strength again, create new insect people, accumulate a large number of gray zombies, and then plan for the future.
But unexpectedly, Changshan County did not stop after its victory.
After a short rest, Changshan County's main mecha corps took a train along the Zhongzhou Railway to the junction of Zhongzhou and Zezhou, and took the initiative to attack Lin Yabo.
——
While Changshan County was fighting with Lin Yabo, other forces in the empire were also not idle. The Qin Group attacked Hezhou and Lingzhou, and defeated Luo Yuan's direct troops.
Hezhou was captured within three days, and Lingzhou was captured within seven days.
Yunzhou Governor Zhao Chaoyang announced his surrender. Qin Gang occupied three states in a row and continued to assemble his army, heading straight for Mengzhou, officially starting the war with Luo Yuanwuyao's group.
The army of the Narima Third Empire marched south, and the Golden Lion King led his troops to join forces with Luo Yuanwuyao to launch a counterattack against Qin Gang.
Ren Zhengqing, the imperial elder in charge of the Northern Alliance, was also not idle. He took advantage of the fact that the Golden Lion King was busy fighting on the western front and the rear was empty, and took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Xiyanzhou, declaring that he would drive the low-class people out of the empire.
The Golden Lion King was attacked from all sides. At the critical moment, the Supreme Council suddenly sent troops to attack Mingzhou, Ren Zhengqing's base. At the same time, the main force of the Imperial Army slammed the heartland of the Northern Alliance to the north.
The Great Elder publicly announced that Ren Zhengqing was an old thief who rebelled against the empire. He was the one who killed the emperor Li Longxing. All the current chaos in the empire was caused by him. He was a traitor to the emperor and must be killed.
The Supreme Council's treacherous attack also gave the Hughes Crassus Empire an excuse. The Divine Emperor Augustus officially declared war on the empire, and a large number of naval forces set out from the mainland and sailed towards the empire in a mighty force.
The army group crossed the Hellenistic Strait and approached the empire from the north.
Countries around the world, including Sarah, Jersey, Montreal, Virginia, and Connecticut, also announced their intention to join the war or support one side.
The empire was in chaos, with smoke everywhere, burning flames of war spread across the land, and the sound of gunfire resounded through the sky.
This marked the beginning of an unprecedented war in human history.
