Chapter 474: Forward!
But it was said that the Northern Flying Tiger Empire, under the leadership of Dugujue, directly launched a fierce attack. The war was at its peak from the very beginning.
Although the Longyuan Empire had been prepared for a long time, it was still a little stretched in the face of the all-out attack of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire.
In fact, in the offensive and defensive strategy of the northern front, the Blue Star Group adopted a strategy similar to that of Tian Ji horse racing.
First of all, use the strength of the Minghui Empire, coupled with some of the support of the Blue Star Group, to contain the legions of the Tianshui Empire, especially the reinforcements from various countries.
Then, concentrate the superior forces to open up a second battlefield here in the Northern Flying Tiger Empire.
Because the Longyuan Empire supported part of the army to the Tianshui Empire, the already weak country became more and more overstretched in terms of troops.
So the question is, doesn't the Longyuan Empire know that it is small, why did it send troops to support the Tianshui Empire?
Quite simply, it was caused by greed! The Tianshui Empire drew a big cake, a golden cake full of diamonds!
There is also a country from the Sanyuan area, and I always feel that I am not ambiguous. And this was indeed the case in the past, the density of stars in the Sanyuan region was greater, the resources were more abundant and of high quality, there were more cultivation masters, and the cultivation foundation was more solid.
But...... But with the passage of time, the situation in the Sangaki area has actually changed. But the cultivators in the Sanyuan area were unaware.
With the development of time, the population has become more and more, and the resources have actually been thinned. In particular, a large number of mineral resources are non-renewable resources, and after many years of consumption, the resources have long been depleted.
There are also resources such as spiritual stones for cultivation, these are all things that can only be found on the transformed life planets, but the life planets that can be transformed in the Sanyuan area have actually reached their peak a long time ago, and they have begun to decline in these years, or in the last hundreds of thousands of years.
There are fewer and fewer planets with the potential to be modified. And the 'life' of the modified life planet is only a few hundred thousand or millions of years. So much so that the living planet became a consumable.
As the cores of the early modified planets of life gradually cooled, one life planet after another was deserted.
Perhaps the density of stars in the Sanyuan region is indeed large, but in terms of the overall level of the current livable living environment, it may really not be as good as the rising stars of the Minghui Empire, the Yujing Empire and other peripheral empires.
Not to mention that now the Blue Star Group does not transform the planets, everyone directly transforms the stars. Although it has only been a few years, the effects are already beginning to be felt.
Transforming the planets obtains the aura and cultivates the grassroots cultivators, but transforming the stars gives the power of the stars and cultivates the high-level cultivators.
The construction of the Junjing constellation has ruthlessly incubated a large number of middle and high-level cultivators who have reached the critical point.
The reason why the Blue Star Group started the war so simply is also an important reason. Catalyzed by the technology of Dayang Group, the development potential of Bluestar Group is constantly improving, on the contrary, the development potential of Sanyuan area is declining.
As soon as the war began, the Longyuan Empire paid the price for its arrogance. The fleet of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire has all been replaced with new weapons - rail cannons, as well as particle cannons strengthened by science and technology.
Coupled with a new communication system and reconnaissance system, the war command is more flexible. Ships with new engines are more flexible. Coupled with the guidance of the Blitzkrieg ideology, Dugujue carried out a 'super-mobile operation' on the battlefield that he did not dare to think of in the past.
Taking advantage of the battleship's better power, powerful defense, and furious attack, the battleship launched an attack from millions of kilometers, 350 million kilometers, or even hundreds of millions of kilometers away. Then directly rubbed shoulders with the enemy fleet, without stopping.
The fleet of the Longyuan Empire still wants to carry out 'close-range fire' attacks as it did in the past, close to three million kilometers, or even one million kilometers, and then send its masters to conduct 'broadside battles'. But suddenly I found that I couldn't get close at all.
The Longyuan Empire also wanted to send experts to raid remotely, but the masters who were separated from the assistance of the fleet, even if they could catch up with the fleet of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire, were faced with the dilemma of fighting alone. Not to mention, the Northern Flying Tiger Empire is not only a master who has killed here, but a master who is armed with mecha and battle armor.
In the case of the difference in cultivation between the two sides, the one armed to the teeth is obviously more powerful. Not to mention the fact that there are warships nearby to support it.
After half a month of fighting, the first line of defense of the Longyuan Empire collapsed.
The Northern Flying Tiger Empire did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. Because Dugu was stunned by this 'easy' victory.
New technology, new weapons, new strategic thinking, a new military merit reward system, and masters armed to the teeth have made the fleet of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire have undergone radical changes.
Of course, such a victory was also achieved because the Longyuan Empire was arrogant and arrogant, and even launched a positional battle with the Northern Flying Tiger Empire, while the Tianshui Empire was much smarter, using the vast starry sky to dilute the military strength of the Minghui Empire.
The Longyuan Empire retreated, and its commander slowly reacted that his strategic thinking was wrong. At the same time, a distress signal is sent to the rear.
Dugu never attacked again, and was still summing up the war, his fundamental purpose was to attract attention and provide opportunities for Dugu Junjie, a distant family.
However, it is said that Dugu Junjie led a huge fleet of more than one billion warships and more than 200,000 super monsters, and began the journey of 'taking an unusual path'.
The starry sky is vast, and there is no limit to it like the ground. Theoretically, it is possible to run around in the starry sky. Just don't get close to neutron stars, black holes, unstable supernovae, and other extreme objects.
But in reality, because of issues such as efficiency, energy, and time, whether it is business or war, everyone is generally concentrated in a fixed range.
For example, the location of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire and the Longyuan Empire, the 'thickness' of the upper and lower galaxies is more than 1,700 light years, not counting the sparse starry sky and thin nebula range in the periphery.
The Northern Flying Tiger Empire's territory is 700 light-years in diameter, but its sphere of influence, including vassal states, is more than 3,000 light-years horizontally (east-west, galaxy circling direction) and longitudinal (north-south, galaxy radiation direction), and vertically (up and down, that is, the thickness of the galaxy) is 1,700 light-years.
The core territory of the Longyuan Empire is 330 light-years in diameter, and the area of influence is also small, whether horizontally or vertically, the area of influence is 1700 light-years. However, the Dragon Yuan Empire is closer to the core of the galaxy, and its 'vertical' thickness has increased slightly.
Of course, considering that the closer you get to the core of the galaxy, the denser the stars become, so although the 'volume' of the Longyuan Empire is less than one-seventh of that of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire, the number of stars is almost half of that of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire.
In terms of the battle line between the Northern Flying Tiger Empire and the Longyuan Empire, it is mainly concentrated in the horizontal range of 400 light years and 200 light years vertically. Vertically, everyone is fighting for position.
War is all about efficiency, and going around in circles is certainly possible, but it takes more time. Maybe in the time you're circling around, they've already completed the sneak attack and returned, and the more efficient ones may have been ambushed halfway.
Moreover, long-distance detours, difficult communications, and slow response are all taboos on the battlefield.
Therefore, whether it is the Northern Flying Tiger Empire or the Longyuan Empire, outside the scope of the core battlefield, there is only simple vigilance, nothing more.
If you make a figurative analogy, it is equivalent to a battle on land, sea and air, and the core decisive battles are all battles on the ground, at a depth of 300 meters and above, and in the sky below 10 kilometers.
For altitudes above 10 km, there are only a few satellites, and below 300 metres above the sea surface, there are only a few scientific probes. None of these places are central to traditional combat.
But the Longyuan Empire didn't expect that Dugu Junjie was taking this path at this time.
The fleet led by Dugu Junjie first flew vertically (vertically) thousands of light-years to the outer periphery of the galaxy under the cover of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire, completely beyond the thickness of the galaxy. Then he flew longitudinally in the direction of the imperial capital of the Longyuan Empire.
The imperial capital of the Longyuan Empire is located in a star official called 'Tianhuang'. The star density of this star official is even one level higher than the "Pleiades Star Cluster" where the imperial capital of the Minghui Empire is located.
The Pleiades star cluster has an area of about 20 light-years and more than 3,000 star systems, while the range of the celestial star cluster is about 26 light-years and the number of star systems is as high as 12,000!
The imperial capital of the Longyuan Empire is 'Linhuang Mansion'. Half of the prosperity of the entire Longyuan Empire is located in the Tianhuang Star Official. As long as it can disturb the Tianhuang Star Official, the entire Longyuan Empire will be basically paralyzed.
However, because of the scope of influence, the distance from the outermost defense line of the Northern Flying Tiger Empire to Linhuang Mansion is still more than a thousand light years.
In the past, it was difficult to cross thousands of light years or in other countries. Moreover, thousands of light years is a straight-line distance, and it is obviously impossible to walk in a straight line during the actual march.
It's not that no one has ever thought of a sneak attack like Dugu Junjie. But ultra-long-range sneak attacks are extremely demanding on the fleet, not to mention that they still have to enter the galaxy in the final stage. As an empire, it is impossible to be defenseless against the imperial capital.
In fact, the existence of the 'Star Officer' is a 'formation' in itself, and it belongs to a core 'component' in the Zhou Tian Great Array.
Even if you reach the 'directly above' of the Imperial Capital of the Longyuan Empire, if you want to swoop in, you still need to pass a distance of at least 700 light years.
In other words, flying more from the outer space, the distance is almost doubled, but in the final raid, it can only cancel out the advantage of about three hundred light years.
The result is obvious: the cost increases significantly, but the effect is not significant.
On the contrary, a long-distance sneak attack will reduce the overall combat effectiveness of the fleet. In particular, traditional fleets generally pay attention to "1+3": one elite fleet carries three ordinary fleets. That's pretty much how it was composed. Such a fleet structure is even more unfavorable for long-range runs. And large-scale fleet movements generally cannot escape the eyes of spies.
However, the difficulties of the past have been overcome one by one with the advancement of technology.
The combined fleet led by Dugu Junjie is only elite!
At this time, with Dugu Junjie's order, hundreds of millions of fleets carried out an unprecedented attack in the vast dark starry sky.
