The federal troops had lost their unified command and had completely turned into a mass of scattered sand. However, Guangnian was orderly and commanded accurately. Troops were weaving on the battlefield, constantly dividing and surrounding. Soon, ten groups of troops were formed on the battlefield. Several large and small encirclements.
Although Chu Jungui and Kai Tian were both on the front line, there were wise men at the rear to command. Its body had only lost less than 20%, and its thinking power had dropped by 40%, but it was still higher than Crassus.
At the edge of the battlefield, the fastest escaping federal troops had merged with the responding troops from the rear. However, there was still an obstacle between the large federal troops and the responding troops, which was the troops used by Chu Jungui to raid the mobile command center. Now that the two raiding forces from the north and the south have merged, Chu Jungui built a defense line on the spot, forming a circular defense line with a diameter of 2 kilometers. There are 6 fire support arks and 4 ammunition trucks inside the defense line, with an absolute strike radius of 50 kilometers. Any federal troops entering this range will encounter a devastating blow from Ark's firepower, and the area between 50 and 70 kilometers is a dangerous area. Ark may not be able to fire accurately, but the probability is unlikely. Only 70 kilometers away is relatively safe. If you pass quickly, even Ark's hit rate will not exceed half.
In this way, Chu Jungui established a control position with a diameter of 140 kilometers, lying between the responding troops and the fleeing troops. After the northern and southern armies merged, there were less than 3,000 tanks left. This was all the power Chu Jungui had in his hands. The federal response force has a total of 8,000 tanks and a total strength of 70,000. After integrating some of the troops who escaped early, the number of tanks exceeded 10,000.
However, 120 kilometers away, the responding troops stopped advancing. After hesitating for half an hour, the frontline commander actually began to build a defense line on the spot!
In other words, even with three times the force in hand, the federal frontline commander did not have the courage to attack, even though he knew that destroying Chu Jungui's position would free more federal troops.
The supporting troops did not dare to attack, and the fleeing federal troops were in danger. They had to go hundreds of kilometers around Chu Jungui's position from both the north and south ends before they could escape. Not to mention that this has reached the endurance limit of many federal tanks. After all, the battle has been fought for most of the day. What's even worse is that there are countless small groups of light-year troops lingering on the escape route. The troops who could have fled back were blocked by Chu Jungui, so 20% of them could be considered lucky to escape.
As the federal response forces hesitated to move forward, the fate of the large federal force was determined. A large number of the surrounded troops surrendered, and then Lightyear built a solid encirclement, heavily surrounding the rear-end troops of the Ninth Marine Corps. Unexpectedly, after three days of fighting, they were unable to capture the ninth army.
There are only 50,000 federal troops left in the encirclement, including many temporarily gathered troops. Lightyear's troops deployed in the encirclement were already three times that of his opponents, but half of them were human warriors. Brother Dao had reached his limit, and any further losses would damage his foundation.
In this case, the wise man has to take into account the morale and damage of the human troops, so the attack is organized meticulously, with layers of attacks, one link inside the other, trapping the opponent at all times. But the commanders in the encirclement were not fooled, and their defenses were watertight. The Ninth Army also showed no less bravery than the Seventh Army, and was not afraid of death. Many times, Guangnian had clearly broken through the defense line, but was beaten back by the enemy's counterattacks regardless of life and death.
In the end, Chu Jun returned to take command and directly pushed the Princess of the Underworld to the front line. Unexpectedly, the other party actually prepared a surprise attack force, rushed in front of the underworld princess and successfully destroyed one. This raiding force was eventually wiped out, but it also silenced Lightyear's headquarters for a long time.
After a long silence, the wise man asked: "Does it make sense for them to do this? What difference does it make to persist for one more day and one less day?"
Kaitian also said: "Don't they know that the response team has returned?"
No one can answer this question.
Faced with less than 40,000 federal troops left, Chu Jungui once again entered war mode. He asked the last princess of the underworld to come forward and sweep away the federal army's defense line layer by layer. Although the defense forces have dug out fortifications deep underground, there will still be constant casualties under the raids of the Underworld Princess. At the same time, Chu Jungui mobilized two more missile arks. In a short period of time, 100,000 missiles would fall on the heads of the federal army. This is enough power to cover thousands of square kilometers, and it is now used intensively in this small position of less than 10 square kilometers.
The missile coverage lasted for a full hour. According to Chu Jungui's calculations, it was enough to drop 10 meters from the ground. I believe that even if the garrison general is a fortification maniac, he will not dig to 10 meters. Besides, they don't have time at all.
After this round of missile coverage, the white flag finally rose on the federal position.
Half an hour later, several federal soldiers covered in dust and blood appeared in front of Chu Jungui. They came to surrender on behalf of the garrison. The leader was a middle-aged general with a beard all stuck into strands. His head was wrapped in thick bandages, many of which were soaked in blood. He was also limping when he walked, the bandage wrapped around his thigh was already quite dirty, and the blood stains oozing out were already purple-black.
But his body was still upright, and although his voice was hoarse, it was full of blood and fire: "Lieutenant General Grant, commander of the 81st Division of the 9th Army of the First Planetary Marine Corps of the Federation, surrenders to you on behalf of the remaining troops. According to the Interstellar Prisoner of War Convention, our requirements are as follows..."
Chu Jungui interrupted him: "We do not belong to the dynasty, the federation or the community, so the Prisoner of War Convention is invalid for us."
Grant was startled and said: "According to the Prisoners of War Convention, the affiliated forces of the dynasty are also part of the dynasty and are also bound by the convention."
Chu Jun returned: "We are not an affiliated force of the dynasty."
Grant was truly surprised: "Are you an independent force? Damn it, then what are we fighting?"
"To be honest, I don't know. Maybe you have to ask your Lunar Commander Phil. He seems determined to wipe us off the planet."
Grant narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If the cause of this battle cannot withstand scrutiny, then wouldn't the deaths of tens of thousands of our brothers be worthless?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid that's the truth. General Grant, I want to confirm, was it you who commanded the defensive battle?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Grant's eyes, and he said slowly: "It's General Lee, and I'm just his subordinate."
"Why doesn't General Li come?"
"The general died for his country, just half an hour ago."
