In fact, there are not many large star systems near the star. Even if the range is expanded to 500 light-years, there will be no more than ten star systems of great value.
It’s just that what Yu Qingyu needs is not the large-scale, resource-rich, and position-important star system, but a relatively remote star system with not many enemies garrisoned, because with the few warships in his hand, there are less The poor troops can't bite hard bones.
At that time, Yu Qingyu chose a star system about three hundred light-years away from the star.
The scale of this star system is not very large. The main sequence star is a yellow dwarf, and there are fewer than one planet, and there is only one planet in the life zone. More importantly, this star system is far away from the main interstellar routes and has little strategic value, so it is not taken seriously.
After making full preparations, Yu Qingyu set off with the fleet and legion.
Although Yu Qingyu can only form a squadron-sized unit at most according to the military ranks granted by the military, and the military can only provide so many places, Yu Qingyu is not restricted. In fact, before being promoted, he The recruited refugees formed a corps, and the officers and soldiers of the corps were armed with the captured weapons and equipment. However, these refugees can only be regarded as militias at best until they are recognized by the military.
Of course, whether or not it is recognized by the military has nothing to do with combat effectiveness.
Yu Qingyu's capital is this legion, and several battleships, including the battleship, which he seized from the enemy during the battle.
Strictly speaking, this is not a fight at all.
The main thing is that this star system is too remote and has no precious resources. If there is anything worthy of Yu Qingyu's fight, it's just food. No matter how capable Yu Qingyu is, the refugees on Yanxing need food and enough food.
Of course, Yu Qingyu uses a hit-and-run tactic.
Although this star system is extremely remote and barren, it is within the enemy's sphere of influence, and on the only planet with inhabitants, there is also an army of military territories stationed. Fortunately, it is the Bingyu clan, if you encounter Kunyang clan or wild beast clan, Yu Qingyu will definitely end in a very tragic manner.
After eliminating the garrison, Yu Qingyu took control of the garrison's warehouse, transported the food stocked by the garrison onto the spacecraft, and then left with the army.
In fact, the Bingyu clan controls this star system only for the food produced here. It's not that the soldiers cannot produce enough food, but the transportation supply line is too long, and the cost of transporting supplies from the rear is very high. In addition, the extreme races are not very cooperative, so getting food at the front line can greatly reduce the logistical support. burden. In addition, the Bingyu fleet suffered heavy losses in previous battles. It had to concentrate on building more warships, and it was unable to build enough transport spaceships, which had a great impact on logistical support. For this reason, the Bingyu tribe can only try to seize some star systems, and to provide security protection, that is, to send troops to station in the way to make the residents of these star systems pay taxes. According to the regulations of the Bingyu Clan, under normal circumstances, local residents must turn in half of the harvest. As for whether the rest can make a living for the residents, the Bingjuan tribe doesn't care at all, because these star systems originally did not belong to the Bingjuan tribe. In fact, most of the residents of the various star systems in the northern region are closely related to the human federation, and are forced to surrender to civilizations such as the military clan after the human legion is withdrawn. Although they did not rise up to resist and did not have this ability, it did not mean that they would willingly accept the rule of civilizations such as the military clan. It is also true that the Bingyu Clan obviously did not treat the residents of these star systems as their own. It can be said that if someone were not to cultivate the land, I am afraid that the Bingyu tribe would have wiped out the original inhabitants long ago.
After understanding these circumstances, Yu Qingyu did a very important thing.
Before retreating, Yu Qingyu issued a call to all residents on the planet, saying that they welcome them to join the human legion and follow the human federation to resist the invasion. Subsequently, the representative sent by Yu Qingyu to the residents stated that the cost of providing safety guarantees for the planet was only one-tenth of the harvest. Although not many residents followed Yu Qingyu to leave, after all, it was the human legion who took the initiative to abandon this star system and abandoned the residents here, but they accepted the protection conditions set out by Yu Qingyu with only one prerequisite, that is, After helping them to drive away the invaders, they will pay the protection fee, which is one-tenth of the harvest that year.
At that time, many people thought that Yu Qingyu was joking, after all, this star system is three hundred light years away from the star.
Besides, Yu Qingyu is commanding a miscellaneous army, and there are not many warships. Not to mention encountering the main force of the Bingyu clan, even if you encounter a regular legion, you can only escape for your life. What's more, the harvest of this operation was extremely rich. The food obtained filled the cargo compartments of all warships, enough for the refugees on the planet to consume for several years. In other words, in the short term, there is no need to consider the problems caused by food scarcity.
However, Yu Qingyu was not joking.
In the next half a year, the fleet and legion commanded by Yu Qingyu attacked several star systems, seized food and medicine-based materials, and obtained some valuable engineering equipment. Through this plundering action, Yu Qingyu can not only do some construction on Yanxing, but also expand the size of the army. He did exactly that, that is, after having sufficient resources, he recruited refugees to form three legions.
In the end, Yu Qingyu returned to the starting point with a legion four times the size of the original, that is, the protected star system.
It’s just that this time it’s not to plunder resources, but to help the local residents resist the invasion and deal with the resurgent military regiments.
Here, Yu Qingyu commanded a battle in the true sense as a legion commander.
In fact, this was also the first battle conducted by the regiment since Yu Qingyu was exiled. As for Yu Qingyu's commanding ability, obviously needless to say. The combat effectiveness of those few miscellaneous legions is actually barely passable. What determines the outcome of the battle is not Yu Qingyu's commanding ability, nor the combat effectiveness of the legion, but the strength of the enemy. Obviously, as long as the enemy is strong enough, Yu Qingyu will not be able to eat.
Fortunately, the enemy is not strong enough.
Perhaps this star system is indeed too remote, there are not many products, and it is of little value, so it has not received the attention of the Bingyu clan. Although the previous garrison had been wiped out a long time ago, the Bingyu tribe didn't seem to think much about it. They just sent a legion to restore their rule here, that is, let the residents here continue to hand in food. Obviously, a corps is enough to deal with unarmed civilians.
However, Yu Qingyu did not have the chance to get a surprise attack this time.
When he led the army to arrive, the army of the Bingyu tribe had landed and was suppressing the local residents and maintaining a fighting state. Although under the personal command of Yu Qingyu, the attack flag against the Bingyu fleet was victorious and quickly destroyed the warships of the Bingyu fleet, but it also alarmed the Bingyu army that had landed. Next, Yu Qingyu had to go to the ground to deal with the remaining enemies.
Of course, this is also a one-sided battle.
After losing the cover and support of the fleet, there is no advantage in military strength. Even if the individual combat strength of the Bingjuan Legion is stronger, it is difficult to grasp the initiative. After Yu Qingyu landed with the four legions, the Bingyu legions retreated into the city, preparing to make the final resistance.
It's just the last resistance.
If it were not to avoid hurting the innocent, Yu Qingyu would not entangle with the enemy, let alone go to the city to fight the enemy in the street. Just to win the trust and support of local residents, Yu Qingyu had some concerns, and he would inevitably pay a relatively huge loss.
Of course, through this battle, Yu Qingyu gained the trust of local residents.
After the battle, Yu Qingyu recruited enough recruits on the spot to form ten legions, but for the time being there was no way to arm all the recruits. When he left, Yu Qingyu also brought one million tons of food, which was the protection fee paid by the local residents that year. After that, the local residents also asked Yu Qingyu to send a spacecraft, which carried away another three million tons of food. It's just not the protection fee given to Yu Qingyu, but let Yu Qingyu take care of them for them. Quite simply, after eliminating the Legion of the Bingyu Clan, the local residents didn't believe that they could win the next battle, and they began to find a way for themselves. If you eventually have to leave the homeland that has been built for generations, you must also prepare for escape. For these residents who once again took refuge in the Human Federation, the only option is to go to the Stars and seek the protection of the Human Legion.
Obviously, retaliation is an inevitable result.
If the attack on the previous garrison was accidental, then it is definitely not accidental that a legion was annihilated in battle.
What's more, there are more than a dozen warships that transport and support the corps.
Those who will arrive next time will definitely not only be a legion, nor will it be just a dozen warships. As long as the Bingyu Clan is determined to retaliate against the disobedient residents, it will take decisive measures. It can even be said that the Bingyu family has enough reasons to directly destroy this unimportant star system.
However, the Bingyu Clan did not do this.
At this time, Yu Qingyu didn't know that he had gotten into a big trouble, and that the star he was on was about to become a hell on earth. By that time, everything he did in Yanxing, even every second of his persistence, would affect and change the fate of the human federation.
It was not until three months later that he received the news again and rushed past with the fleet and legion, only to realize that he was facing an enemy that was not operating as a legion.
Quite simply, as the enemy changes its offensive deployment, this remote star system is no longer ordinary.
