Chapter 810 Battle of Phoenix City (3)
Search the entire "Khanos", and replace it with any army general, it is impossible to do better than Archimonde, otherwise, Song Will will not deploy a quantum teleporter underground in Phoenix City, Consider this a sanctuary.
A smile appeared on the faces of the staff and staff of the command center. Some of them heaved a sigh of relief and gave high-fives to their colleagues in congratulations. Some of them were finally able to free their hands to wipe off the sweat from their foreheads, and took the water glasses placed next to them and gurgled. Gulp drink it clean.
Archimonde was still calm, neither joy nor sorrow could be seen on his face.
His assistant was also very calm, and he didn't forget to touch up his makeup and tidy up his messy long hair when he went out to set the wine glass.
Of course female soldiers are not allowed to have long hair, she is not, she is Archimonde's assistant.
Archimonde also has another identity, the mayor of Phoenix City. Although it is more like an honorary title than real power, there are only a very small number of scientific researchers and their families here.
"Tell the front-line command posts of the city defense brigade in the west, south, and north areas not to be careless, and be careful of Tang Fang's tricks of playing east and west."
Not only was he calm, but he was still cautious, and he was not dazzled by the great situation.
"How far is the charging progress of the natural disaster system?"
Intelligence official reported: "53%"
"Tell them to hurry up." Archimonde looked up and scanned the battle images on the big screen, and continued to order: "Close the Internet cafe."
Retracting the net... The words that the fisherman used when he was fishing are now spoken from his mouth, with a calm expression, a gentle speaking speed, and a steady and powerful pronunciation, which makes people feel at ease.
He is the leader of the Third Army, and he is the mainstay under the surge.
The communications team staff didn't hesitate. The command to "close the net" was issued to the front-line combat units as soon as possible.
At the same time, in the east of the pit area that separates the trench position from the buffer zone, the impact tanks were under the pervasive attack of the "Randerer". Had to switch back to tank stance and use movement to avoid those goo.
Behind the shock tank. The 16 Immortals were divided into two groups, 6 units moved forward to cover the retreat of the shock tanks, and 10 units spread into a fan shape to deal with the armed vehicles surrounded by the 1365 Armored Brigade.
The Protoss troops themselves have strong defensive capabilities, not to mention the heavy units equipped with fortitude shields like the Immortals,
Especially in the face of super-caliber tank main guns and rocket bombardment, it has a perfect defensive effect.
Likewise, in terms of attack. Even main battle tanks like the Getter Tank can't resist the Immortal's Phase Fragmentation Cannon. They can only rely on mobile warfare to fight, consuming the energy level of the fortitude shield bit by bit.
When Archimonde said "close the net", his eyes were on the Immortals. These weird machines with four legs are no less destructive than the large siege mechs that are nearly 10 stories high behind them. The only drawback is that The weapon system is relatively monotonous.
The ground in the area where the Immortals and the Shock Tanks were located began to shake violently, far exceeding the effect caused by the Regret God of War missiles, just like when the human, Zerg II melee troops, and Shock Tank units were isolated just now. The yellow sand trembled and flowed into the rapidly expanding cracks in the ground.
As the ground shook violently, pits formed one after another. Divide the originally flat terrain into countless modules.
The shock not only spread in the area where the shock tank and the Immortal were located, but also subverted the area where Thor and War Wolf were located. However, the areas where the main forces of the 1365th Armored Brigade and the 1386th Armored Brigade were located did not change at all. There was only a slight vibration, which slightly affected the shooting accuracy of the guns and did not cause any real damage.
On the other hand, the attacking force composed of shock tanks and immortals is almost a mess. Immortals are better, they can do emergency evasion with their flexible mobility, but shock tanks can't.
Originally, their performance has been greatly reduced under the action of resonance weapons. 3 shock tanks were directly swallowed by the rift that appeared on the ground, and fell into the spike hell.
Although those spikes that can shrink up and down are difficult to break through the outer armor of the impact tank. They can't even pierce the chassis, but they can paralyze their ability to move. Even wait until the battle is over to capture them.
Archimonde is a person who is good at maximizing benefits.
Of course, with the width of the pit, at most combat units such as impact tanks and immortals can be swallowed up, and it can't do anything to Thor, but they are too heavy, and two of them fell to the ground with a bang because they couldn't avoid it, splashing dust all over the sky. It was also dispersed by the shock wave formed by the explosion of the shells falling on the armor, and turned into a khaki wave, spreading to farther places.
Until the moment before the fall, the Punisher artillery was still emitting fire, but the high-explosive shells lost their aim and landed on the pitted battlefield, splashing waves of sand.
The Wolf Warrior also couldn't keep its balance. The driver could only spend most of his energy on stabilizing the body, unable to fight back at all, and was hit by the armored brigade armed vehicles walking around and suffered varying degrees of damage.
The state of Goliath armed robots is even more miserable, because they have long been unable to stabilize their formation under the attack of God of War missiles. A bunch of cripples.
This is what Archimonde called "closing the net". The positional battle outside the east city seems to be taking the initiative from the coalition forces of the three races. In fact, everything is in his expectation. First, use the 2013 Mechanized Infantry Brigade to hold the coalition forces of the three races in front. To attack, when the armored brigades that have detoured to the two wings enter the battlefield, and the flying combat units of the special combat arms and the two aviation brigades come out in full force, the most critical part of the battle plan will be launched immediately.
In fact, the defense of Phoenix City is not just a circle of tall city walls armed to the teeth, even the entire buffer zone is a part of the city defense system. Under the soft sand layer, there is a modular steel structure phalanx, which can be freely contracted , Transformed into a more rugged terrain, in order to prevent the offensive of corps-level ground units.
The reason why Archimonde didn't turn the buffer zone into the first line of defense at the beginning was to lure the enemy into deep, cut and surround the troops of the three tribes, and then deal a devastating blow to disrupt the opponent's offensive. Completely win this offensive and defensive battle.
From analysis to deconstruction. From comparison and reference, to deduction, decision, and issuing orders. Archimonde almost completed this battle plan alone, using his ingenuity. Overcoming the huge gap in the quality of the arms, the troops of the three tribes who will commit crimes in the future will catch up with the dead end.
He is a smart man, a qualified general, and a loyal subordinate that Praise Will can trust... Therefore, he can be called a famous general, and he is also a leading figure in the military circle of the entire Turanx United Kingdom.
Archimonde is not an ordinary person, nor is Phoenix City an ordinary city. It is a military fortress.
There is a natural disaster system in the sky and the ground, and a transformation system that stretches for several kilometers underground. It is so powerful that it is chilling in terms of defense and combat effectiveness.
Willie Smit did not push Tang Fang to this point, nor did Gordon Lombard push Tang Fang to this point, Archimonde did it.
Yes, this is rejoicing, Archimonde should be proud of himself, and all the soldiers of the Third Army should also be proud. Because being able to defeat that powerful Tang Fang is definitely something worth showing off, whether it is used as a talking point. It's not bad for the capital of becoming an official, or the bait for picking up girls.
Conversely, Tang Fang should be depressed, regretful, and ashamed, because he lost. After a series of actions by the military, the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces of the three races has been weakened by more than 30%, and it is impossible to form an effective formation to fight against the armored brigade and the city defense system. And with the firepower of the sky, the rout has become settled.
Not to mention 50 kilometers away. The combat forces of nearly two divisions are rapidly approaching the battlefield, and there will be a moment. The vanguard and air units can join the battle order and become another boulder on the camel's back.
In fact, Tang Fang was neither depressed nor regretful, and naturally he would not feel ashamed.
It was Churchill who was frustrated, Churchill who regretted it, and Howson who was ashamed, because the voice belonging to Captain Tang was full of banter, resounding in the cockpit of Thor and the laser drill tank.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you know, your faces are really ecstasy now, I should take a screenshot of this scene and upload it to the bridge of the Angel, so that the crew can appreciate what is called a little red in a green bush. "
The faces of Howson and Churchill are full of green, and the green is unique, only the eyes are bloodshot, and the red is bright and wonderful.
Obviously, Captain Tang was talking ironically, making sarcastic remarks in a very ungentlemanly manner, and rubbed a handful of chili powder on the wounds of the two, and sprinkled a bag of salt.
On the slopes on both sides of the high ground, mixed troops of Hellfire Chariots, Vulture Chariots, Predators, Stalkers, and Aberrants, which are going to be used for mid-term harassment and containment, are swarming out as the last force of the troops of the three races , into the frontline battlefield.
The sand behind the laser drill tank was empty, and there was no backup.
Mixed forces of Hellion Chariots, Vulture Chariots, Predators, Stalkers, and Aberrations can be a desperate fight between the two. They are not stupid, they know to leave some highly mobile units to contain and intercept the enemy's troops when the battlefield is in a stalemate situation. It's a pity that their opponent is Archimonde, a famous army general that Tang Fang also admires very much.
"Will it work?" he said, referring to the duo's desperate move with a mix of Hellion Chariots, Vulture Chariots, Predators, Stalkers, and Aberrations.
Churchill's face turned greener, and he didn't dare to speak.
Howson is a guy who pierces the sky just to hear the sound, even if he knows he is stupid, he still tries his best to pretend to be a very sentimental idiot.
"It's not my style to retreat in spite of difficulties. It's Uncle Howson's true nature to go against the trend... You must know that I have always been a standing man, not a squatting coward." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Churchill on comm monitor #2.
Even though he knew that the mixed troops were only going up to make dumplings for the two mechanized infantry brigades, one armored brigade, and one ranger regiment that came quickly, he still chose to do so.
Tang Fang clapped his palms and said, "Okay, you have backbone." Then he paused and said, "Are you standing now?"
Howson swept out the window, suddenly like a deflated ball, the impassioned and full of blood disappeared in a blink of an eye.
He didn't stand, although he didn't squat, he just lay down in a very humiliating manner... like a dead body, but there were countless enemies outside launching violent storm attacks and whipping him.
Yes, he was one of those two unlucky Thor pilots.
Churchill felt ashamed, so he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't bother to look at Howson's old face pretending to be funny. Because it would aggravate the humiliation in my heart, I simply pretended not to know that idiot, even though this situation was the result of the joint command of the two of them.
He felt that his IQ and EQ were much higher than Howson's. Even if he can't compare to characters like Captain Tang and Kelenia, he is still a normal person.
Yes. This battle was not directed by Tang Fang, but a siege battle led and carried out by the two of them.
Howson once turned on the mocking mode on the way to "Cabreto" on a special operations transport ship, mocking Tang Fang for having a powerful tri-ethnic army but still playing tricks and tricks, coquettishly, like a bitch. A man should use upright methods to defeat his opponents in an aboveboard manner.
He also said a word at the end --- "It's a pity, only Mr. Howson is such a person on the "Angel"... Lonely."
Aros didn't bother to share his knowledge.
Byron was well aware of his two-hundred-five nature. Thinking that being fussy about such a person will seriously lower your IQ and identity, so you also choose to remain silent.
Churchill wanted to speak, but he was organizing his words. When he was about to fight back, Tang Fang, who had just thrown Iger Stetman into the battlefield, made a proposal that was somewhat mischievous in the eyes of the veterans and Byron.
Then Howson had a chance to prove that he was a man, then he had the arrogance at the beginning, and now he had the stubbornness, the stubbornness, the stubbornness... and the stubbornness of the duck.
"Are you convinced?" Tang Fang's voice reached their ears through the communicator.
Churchill nodded earnestly, and said, "Archimonde is a difficult man to deal with, and we are no match for him."
Howson curled his lips: "We just underestimate the enemy...underestimate the enemy! Do you know? If we can advance steadily and consider it more carefully and comprehensively, what is Phoenix and what is Archimonde!"
Churchill admired him. Even in the face of such a situation, he was still able to hold his head high and say such things without shame or impatience. If he was not an idiot, he must be a good actor, at least he couldn't be so brazen.
Back then on the special operations transport ship, the two of them had issued military orders, as long as Tang Fang let them be commanders for a while, and experience the addiction of being generals. Guaranteed to successfully take Phoenix, and draw an end to the ground campaign of "Cabreto".
Howson thought Churchill had no idea. But in his opinion, Tang Fang was with the help of the human, insect, and god tribal units. There are many amazing things that can be done in the Hillenburg region, and they should be able to.
Taking a step back, even if there is no way to reach the level of Captain Tang, it should not be difficult to handle the ground battlefield of "Cabreto".
Kelenia is good at dancing and resourceful; Elena is noble, sincere and kind; Freya is innocent and lovely, with high skills; Bai Hao and Roy are loyal and are Tang Fang's best guards; Howson and Aros Tang Fang, Byron, and Zhou Ai had made good friends with Tang Fang in the Mengya Empire, and they could be called veteran figures; even Grant and Walton, who joined him at the same time, became figures who could be independent.
Only him, what he was like in the past, and what he is still like now, is a character who is neither high nor low, and has no sense of existence. He really wants to find an opportunity to prove his ability and value, and gain more people's recognition.
It happened that Howson's big talk on the special operations transport ship made Captain Tang excited, so he took the opportunity to jump on Howson's thief ship, planning to do a big job, take down Phoenix City, and let the people on the "Seraphim" know , They have a strong potential to be tapped, and they are rare generals.
According to Howson's style, the combat units must be sent out all at once, destroying Phoenix City by violent means, and overturning the Third Army.
Churchill was different. Although he had a grumpy temper, he was not as single-minded as Howson. He knew some knowledge about formation and formation, and knew how to use methods such as containment, multi-line harassment, and hidden strength to wage a war.
Facts have proved that his small accomplishments and small strategies are all on paper and castles in the air. They really let them command a large-scale battle to face a famous general like Archimonde. The native chicken and tile dog in Howson's mouth was defeated.
He overestimated his own level, while underestimating the enemy's IQ.
A famous general is a famous general, even though Archimonde represents the interests of the nobility, is a member of the evil ruling class, and has an ugly, hypocritical, and hateful face in the hearts of the common people. A righteous, brave and fearless soldier like him, even if he gets enough troops, is no match for the former.
The stories of ordinary heroes defeating evil forces on TV can only be stories forever, and it is difficult to become reality. Hot blood sometimes makes a hero, but more often it doesn't.
He was very ashamed, so he felt ashamed, he was convinced by Archimonde, and even more convinced by Tang Fang.
Howson was not convinced, so he could confidently respond to Tang Fang's ridicule: "I don't accept." Then he showed an expression of indignation and confusion, and muttered in a low voice: "When we were in Rector, we did the same thing. , why is the result completely different?"
When he was in Rector, he once drove a siege tank into the military position, killed the armored brigade commander who was protected by heavy troops, and then walked away. (To be continued.)
