The dynasty was defeated at the Battle of St. Paul's Constellation.
When the news reached Chu Jungui, he didn't quite believe it. However, this battle is the focus of the entire human race, and there are a large number of civilians on the battlefield, so the information on all aspects is extremely detailed and rich, and it is also very timely. Less than 6 hours after the dynasty fleet retreated, the news had spread throughout the human star field.
In this battle, the dynasty suffered more than half its casualties, and the regular troops suffered more than 12 million casualties, of which 8 million were killed in battle. There were also 3 million ejected life capsules that could not be recovered, and they all became prisoners of the Federation. There were not many casualties among the logistics and auxiliary personnel, but the frontline retreated suddenly without any warning. As a result, a large number of bases were deployed but could not be recovered in time and had to be abandoned. The staff in the bases became prisoners of the Federation. According to incomplete statistics, more than 30 million logistics personnel were captured.
The Federation actually suffered a tragic victory, with 13 million casualties among the 19 million regular combat troops, and two-thirds of the troops were lost. The losses of the conscripted troops were an astonishing 40 million, most of which were killed in battle, with less than 10 million wounded.
Seven of the Dynasty's 12 capital ships were destroyed, and four of the Federation's were sunk. This achievement was actually due to the fact that many squadron flagships stayed behind to cover the escape of other starships. Four of the dozen generals who had been following Xu Bingyan died in this battle, including Du Yang, who had just been promoted to marshal. He took the initiative to stay and serve as rear guard for the entire dynasty fleet, and eventually led a federal capital ship to perish together.
This was the first marshal killed in the dynasty since the war began.
After reading the battle report, the wise man said: "It's a pity that Xu Bingyan is not afraid of death, so he thinks that others are not afraid of death either. But humans are just low-level species, and each individual tends to only care about himself. Obviously, as long as he persists for a while, he will give 15% more At the cost of casualties, we can achieve final victory and resolve the Federation once and for all.”
Chu Jungui sighed and said: "Humans are not the Mist Clan. Everyone has their own ideas and wishes. The troops led by Xu Bingyan are actually very elite. There are not many people in history who can achieve this level."
In the history of mankind, there are countless small-scale armies that fought bloody battles to the end, but there are only a handful of real battles where losses exceeded 30% in a battle without collapse. Xu Bingyan led an army of tens of millions to conquer the starry sky, and it was already a miracle that he could achieve close to 40% casualties before collapsing. The Federation is another matter. It is at a critical moment of national subjugation, and Xu Bingyan has aroused the anger of the people. They fought a miraculous battle with the same enemy. If the time is delayed longer, or they can be fought slowly in separate battles, the Federation Defeat is inevitable.
The wise man also agreed with Chu Jungui's statement, saying: "Xu Bingyan is very like our Mist Clan's thinking, but it's a pity that he thinks too highly of the troops he led. If his soldiers are all our Mist Clan, then Of course there is no problem.”
Chu Jungui's heart moved. The Mist Clan is an aggregation of single cells, and each cell is equivalent to a person, but if necessary, he can sacrifice more than 95% of his cells to protect himself at any time. This would be a bit scary if it happened to humans.
Chu Jungui glanced at the battle report again and came to a conclusion, feeling a little sad in his heart. He sighed and said, "I'm afraid there are not many elites left in the dynasty."
Although Xu Bingyan's reputation as a person is extremely poor and he is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, we have to admit that he single-handedly brought out most of the elites in the dynasty. Many troops were mediocre at the beginning, but after following Xu Bingyan in life-and-death battles and winning all the way, they became elite over time. But in this battle, all the best among the best were lost, especially Du Yang, who was left behind, and even a generation of famous generals after Xu Bingyan. Unfortunately, he had just withered away after he had just shined.
The irony is that most of the elites died in the battle, but many of the scum escaped. Previously, Xu Bingyan's success had covered up many problems in the dynasty, but now all the hidden dangers are about to explode. Chu Jungui thought about it carefully. Almost all the elite troops that the dynasty could count were under the command of Xu Bingyan. Although there were still many troops in the country, most of them were second-rate or third-rate troops like the Fourth Fleet. If they really wanted to be dragged into the battlefield, I'm afraid it would be Incompetent bungler. Many of the remaining generals are like the former commander of the Fourth Fleet, Su Jian, who is an outsider in foreign wars and an expert in civil wars. Those with some real ability, such as Lin Xuan Shang, have been sidelined, not taken seriously, and have no real power. Lin Xuanshang almost went to jail and was released after more than half a year.
Even if everyone knows that Lin Xuan Shang can fight and Su Jian is useless, it is definitely a big project to change the positions of the two. At such a high level, every appointment and transfer has an impact on the whole body, involving all aspects of interests, and there is no telling how much resistance there is. Just like the Fourth Fleet was beaten to a pulp by the Federation, and was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back by Chu Jungui. In the end, didn't Su Jian stay in his position? If it hadn't been for the efforts of others, it wouldn't have been taken down in the end.
Replacing Su Jian with Lin Xuan Shang is such a simple and clear thing. If you really want to accomplish it, I'm afraid it won't take a year and a half to defeat seven or eight people, big and small, before you can succeed. However, how could the Federation give the Dynasty so much time?
It was only at this time that Chu Jungui realized that the dynasty was actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and had been corrupted to a certain extent on the inside. It was a question of how much strength it could exert despite its huge size. The current prosperous scene is all based on Xu Bingyan's inhuman achievements.
In the front, Xu Bingyan devoted himself to expanding the territory and was invincible. Everyone in the rear naturally believed that he would never fail, so they fought for power and fought against each other, which turned out to be even more excessive than before the war. Not counting these, there are actually many people who are starting to think about how to dismember the Federation and how to distribute post-war benefits. Even before the battle was won, they began to think about dividing things.
But no one thought that Xu Bingyan would actually lose. Before the battle of the St. Paul Star Cluster, the dynasty already had a clear strategic advantage. Even if Xu Bingyan was not in a hurry to attack, as long as the main force of the Federation was pinned to the St. Paul Star Cluster, the rear fleet could sweep across a large area of the Federation star field. After all, most of the garrison fleets had been recruited. Ling was transferred away.
At this moment, Chu Jungui is not too worried about the dynasty. After all, the remaining military strength of the dynasty is still very large, and its strength is still stronger than that of the Federation. At most, it will erase the advantage that Xu Bingyan has gained before. As long as Xu Bingyan is still there, the defeat of the Federation will be a matter of time.
While he was thinking this, Chu Jungui suddenly received a message:
Xu Bingyan died of illness.
