Chapter 254: Thunder and Lightning
After the conflict broke out, Nestor Luhman and Gu Ming had to reconcile under the pressure of reality because they were in the same boat.
They responded more quickly and gathered a stronger army to deal with the crisis.
Of course, their goal is very clear: to deal with the suburban town.
The reason is very simple.
They had already experienced the fighting power of the people of Angry Owl Star. Gu Ming couldn't understand why his nephew, who had only been on Angry Owl Star for less than two years, could have trained a strong army on that planet?
Before he went there, it was even difficult to pay imperial taxes on that planet!
But no matter how incredible he found it, this was an established reality and he could only lament and obey.
They dared not underestimate the powerful Angry Owl Star People. If tens of thousands of new troops came from the sky, it would take a long time and cost a lot to annihilate them all.
To put it bluntly, even if the two great marquises and powerful nobles that Nest Luhman mentioned listened to him and obeyed his orders and started to assemble troops immediately, they might not have time to do anything now.
How strong can a feudal country's military organization be? The Angry Owl Star's troops have already crossed the sky and started to descend in orbit. It would be too late to mobilize troops from all over the country at this time.
At best, they could squeeze out some troops from the nearest places, and the remaining troops would at best serve as reinforcements and reserves.
The newly recruited troops will be divided into two parts.
Some of them will be mobilized to the outskirts of the capital, Pinser, to join the siege of the suburban town.
They could also sense that the soldiers of the Angry Owl Star in the suburban town were already at the end of their rope. With a new force and a little more effort, they might be able to capture the entire town one day.
In the past few days, they were able to confirm that Ms. Wang Qi had not escaped in the town. As long as they could capture or kill Wang Qi, there would still be room for discussion.
Another part of the army had to be organized to deal with the new reinforcements from the Angry Owl people who landed.
Based on the flames streaking across the sky, they could roughly tell that the landing craft that landed from orbit were still two to three hundred kilometers away from the capital of Pinser.
They speculated that the reason why the Angry Owls did this was mainly to avoid the sky above the capital area, which had the most powerful firepower in the Luman Kingdom's orbital defense system.
Indeed, Gu Ming's nephew probably found the right opportunity and used the Imperial Navy's name to make sure they would not dare to attack the Imperial Navy's official fleet. But the landing spacecraft that landed on the surface was another matter.
If the ground-based orbital air defense firepower attacks a starship, it can barely reach it if the relative position of the starship is within the shooting angle of the orbital air defense firepower and the distance is really in the orbit of the planet.
But the firepower on the planet is always immobile, and it is impossible for it to be strong enough to destroy the frigate in the sky with a sudden round of artillery fire. Wouldn't they just run away?
As long as they run away, they will be charged with attacking the Imperial Navy. No matter whether it is Gu Ming or the Luman Kingdom of Black Arrow Star, they will not be able to get rid of the charge of attacking the Imperial Navy and being traitors to the Empire.
But landing ships are different. They cannot escape while flying towards the surface.
Gu Hang was probably a little scared, worried that if someone dared to attack during the landing, the loss would be too great. Moreover, there would be room for wrangling later.
With a distance of about 300 kilometers, they can break through the atmosphere from other airspaces, and when they fly lower and out of the attack angle of orbital air defense firepower, they can land, which will be much safer. They can't attack even if they want to - unless the Kingdom of Luman is so powerful that it can integrate the orbital firepower of all other countries on the planet and carry out a joint attack, then they can achieve full coverage. Otherwise, they alone cannot cover the airspace of the entire planet.
After landing, orbital air defense will be of little use when the army advances.
Although a distance of about 300 kilometers was not too far for a mechanized and motorized army, and it would only take a few days to reach the destination if they really rushed forward, Ness Luhman and Gu Ming still decided to do something.
The new troops recruited are used for this purpose.
This force will carry out strict defense along the way, setting up checkpoints at every level to block the Angry Owl Star's army from arriving at the source.
We don't seek victory or annihilation, we just want to slow down their marching speed and buy more time for the battle outside Pinsel.
Until we win the battle outside Pinsel, we will be successful.
They feel that this strategy is still very meaningful, at least if it is implemented, the probability of success is quite high.
Although they would have to face the problem of an allied army within the territory of the Kingdom of Luman afterwards, as long as Wang Qi died, many things could be resolved later.
However, the next three pieces of news that reached their ears were not good news.
First, the remnant of the alliance army in the suburbs town showed a strong will to resist. They seemed to have sensed the arrival of strong reinforcements, and with their morale high, they became even more tenacious.
The second was that the newly arrived coalition army did not take any rest after landing. With hundreds of Lion tanks as the spearhead, many armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and troop transport trucks followed closely behind, charging fiercely all the way, and the speed of the advance was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
The checkpoint troops hastily gathered together halfway had little effect at all. They scattered as soon as they were attacked and collapsed as soon as they were attacked.
Even in a small-scale battle, the twenty Sentinel Mechas gathered by the Luman Kingdom Army dug out a solid position and brought the two thousand infantrymen they had gathered with great difficulty, ready to resist for at least a few hours. However, they were completely defeated in just twenty minutes.
Of course, if that were all, it would only make them look bad and would not cause them to completely panic.
What really made them panic was the two armies that were so fast that they had no idea what to do with them.
When the two of them just received the news about these two troops, they were about to reach the outskirts of Pinser City!
These two forces consist of fifteen red-armored giants and more than one hundred Wind Falcon speedboats!
