748. Quagmire
The fighting broke out on the 17th day.
Jedi Master Nocuna's army was slowly retreating, more of a rout than a retreat.
Thanks to the good training and discipline of the clone soldiers, if it were any other ordinary army, they would have been destroyed long ago after everything they have experienced in the past few days.
Ever since they retreated from Chuka City, they have been continuously pursued by the Jabim National Army and the Robot Legion. These pursuers were not eager to catch up and catch them all. Instead, they let them continue to retreat while fighting, and then pursued them closely like a cat and a mouse.
This will be a road to death.
Except for the Zephyr-G hoverbike and a small number of hovercars, all the heavy equipment of the clone army was paralyzed in the mud and was destroyed or captured by the Jabim National Army. They could only rely on their own feet in the endless heavy rain and mud. walk.
For a way out.
In contrast, the robot army of the Jabim National Army is sleepless, and the anti-gravity sliding boots of the Yunyu Commando hardly consume any physical strength.
It's not that they can't catch up, they're just waiting for their prey to be exhausted and vulnerable before killing it in one fell swoop.
Nocuna's clone army numbered 8,000 people. During the battle in Chuka City, they stubbornly evacuated more than 4,000 people despite being besieged internally and externally. Of course, Master Nokunna's desperate battle played a key role in allowing the clone troopers who had been scattered by the A-series robots to regroup and break out.
But even if they break through, there is still another hell waiting for them.
In the endless heavy rain, even a small wound will quickly become inflamed, infected, and suppurative after being soaked in water. Then, it will lose the ability to move and be trampled to death by the robots following behind.
In the past few days, they traveled a total of more than 50 kilometers. This was a road of death for more than 50 kilometers. The number of people was reduced to less than 1,000. Almost everyone who survived was exhausted and ran out of fuel.
As for the wounded, there are none...
Because of the wounded, they all fell behind and died.
And now, the last moment has finally come...
Alto Stratus led the Yunyu Commandos, who had recharged their batteries in the past few days and had enough to eat and drink, to start the attack again.
Facing 1,000 clone troopers who could barely move their legs, this was a massacre!
Master Nokunna dragged his exhausted body and rushed to kill again and again, but in the end he was unable to do anything and fell to the ground exhausted.
Alto Stratus walked over and grabbed the tentacles above the Twi'lek's head and lifted him up.
Master Nokunna's consciousness has become confused. He has not eaten for several days in a row, and has been continuously injured in continuous battles. He has almost lost his ability to judge. He just muttered the Jedi's creed with his only strength, "Don't Need passion, calm the mind...Don't follow ignorance, obey true knowledge...Don't indulge in lust, calm down and understand...There should be no chaos, tranquility still exists...There is no death, only the original force..."
"No death? Ha! Another Jedi lie!!" Alto said loudly, "Wherever you Jedi have passed, all you have left behind is the smoke of war and corpses littering the fields! But you keep saying there is no death. die?"
He grabbed Master Nokunna's tentacles, exposed his neck, and roared loudly, "When I saw my sister died in my arms, and her legs had been completely crushed by your walker, Is this death?! When our people fall one by one under the ravages of interstellar pirates and cerebral plague, is this death?!?!?!"
Uh-huh! ! He cut off Master Nocuna's head with a sword and roared: "The Jedi and the Republic have brought us endless suffering, and now! All this pain will be returned to every Jedi who invades our homeland! !”
…
On the other front, Jedi Master Cyrus finally made up his mind to retreat.
In the past few days, they destroyed countless Jabim national army blocks and killed tens of thousands of Jabim soldiers and the robot army of the Independent System Confederacy that came for reinforcements.
But they are still struggling in the heavy rain...
These Jabim soldiers were delaying their progress with their lives.
What is even more troublesome is the race they have now confirmed to be called jackals!
These jackals have excellent eyesight and can see targets clearly from a long distance even in heavy rain. This is something that even their instruments and equipment cannot do. Therefore, every Jackal is an excellent sniper. They run extremely fast, have extremely accurate marksmanship and are cruel in nature. Many clone troopers were killed by their snipers.
In order to eliminate these Jackals, Master Cyrus had to organize a fast mobile force composed of Jedi Knights, driving the Zephyr-G hoverbike to drive away and kill the Jackals.
But even so, they still suffered heavy losses.
Several troops that had lost contact before were confirmed to have been wiped out. Only two Jedi sent out to find them returned, and they also brought back new news.
Count Dooku's dark disciple, Asajj Ventress, is on the battlefield in this direction!
With this powerful killer here, every Jedi attack is a bet on life! Even if the Jackals pose no threat to the Jedi, Asajj Ventress can!
Master Cyrus's clone army also has 8,000 people, and has lost about 1,400 people during the constant fighting. The remaining people began to retreat in an organized manner, and they did not leave many openings for the pursuers.
The Jabim National Army's army has also joined forces with the Robot Legion and Jackal Legion to form a powerful military force and began to launch continuous attacks on Master Cyrus' troops!
This army does not have much heavy equipment, because the main large-scale combat machinery is basically reinforced to the battlefield on the other side to encircle and suppress Master Nocuna. However, this is still the case. The ordinary soldiers of the Jabim National Army fought with the B-1 The army dominated by robots still launched a determined offensive.
In this way, the two sides launched a bloody battle in the heavy rain of Jabim. Even though the powerful Republic clone army caused heavy losses to the Jabim national army, it still did not stop.
Until the news came that Master Nokunna's troops had been completely annihilated...
When Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived for reinforcements, they received this almost desperate news.
Master Nocuna's 8,000 clone warriors were wiped out. Master Cyrus's army lost more than half and was gradually returning to their headquarters, the Cobalt base.
The number of dead and wounded Jedi Knights has reached 18.
Moreover, they also lost most of their heavy equipment, and now there are no more than 10 AT-TE walkers left in the army.
This battle has completely turned into a bottomless quagmire.
