The reinforcements arrived in time and smashed this round of offensive led by the Kunyang Legion.
Of course, it is not the ground battlefield that determines the outcome, but the space battlefield.
In order to support the defenders on Yanxing and to defend Yanxing, the Human Federation not only dispatched five hundred legions, but also sent a main fleet. Although it is still inferior to the Armed Forces fleet, the main fleet of the Human Federation has achieved a key victory through a surprise attack.
In fact, this fleet decisive battle is also related to Yu Qingyu.
At that time, in accordance with the order issued by the military headquarters, when the Kunyang clan army began to attack the second fortress, Yu Qingyu issued a breakout order, to be precise, he began to prepare for the breakout. Before the arrival of the main fleet of the Human Federation, the defenders formally launched a breakout operation. Although it was just a feint, it effectively contained the Bingyu fleet, that is, allowing the Bingyu fleet to scatter to chase the spacecraft that broke through. As a result, by the time the main force fleet of the Human Federation arrived, the military area tribe fleet had already dispersed and could not compete with the main force fleet of the Human Federation at all. When the Armed Forces Fleet discovered the main force of the Human Federation, it was too late to organize and mobilize. In the case of the scattered warships of the Armed Forces in separate formations, let alone contending with the main force of the Human Federation, even resistance can't be achieved.
Without the support and cover of the Bingyu Clan fleet, the Kunyang Clan Corps obviously cannot capture Yanxing.
Of course, the battle surrounding Yanxing is not over.
Since then, the Bingyu fleet has made a comeback and fought several decisive battles around Yanxing with the main fleet of the Human Federation. Both sides have their own victories. The Kunyang clan army and the Bingyu clan army did not leave either, but instead rely on the fortress they captured to contend with the human legion. Because neither side has an absolute advantage, at least there is no way to prevent the opponent's warships and spaceships from arriving, so both sides have nothing to do with their opponents.
This situation lasted for nine years, and it was not until the next round of full-scale offensive launched by the four second-rate top civilizations.
Although Yu Qingyu did not leave Yanxing immediately after the reinforcements arrived, he still commanded the siege of the Kunyang army as the commander of the Yanxing garrison, but after three years, the army was temporarily helpless against the enemy. A note from the Ministry made Yu Qingyu leave this place of fame.
At this time, Yu Qingyu was already a well-known hero in the Human Federation.
Strictly speaking, the battle that Yu Qingyu commanded on Yanxing was actually not the key, at least not up to the point of determining the survival of the human confederation. Just based on the situation at the time, the Human Federation urgently needed to create a hero that could inspire people and let everyone see hope, a hero similar to Xiao Wentian. Yu Qingyu lasted for a year with a small number of troops on Yanxing, which reminds many people of the original Beacon Star offensive and defensive battle. Besides, Yu Qingyu is the son of Yuzhen, a descendant of Yu Tingxuan, and he has a high reputation. Combining these factors, the military department took a fancy to him and carried out a lot of publicity, making him a great hero to save the human confederation.
Of course, in contrast, Yu Qingyu also received an exceptional promotion and was promoted to major general.
According to the relevant regulations of the Human Federation, the rank of major general corresponds to the commander of the legion, that is, he has the qualification to command multiple legions to fight together.
However, it was not the military department that really liked Yu Qingyu at the time, but the Yu Family, to be precise, it was Yuzhen.
The key is Yu Qingyu's defensive tactics in Yanxing.
Although the federal authorities and the military have never admitted, and the two previous large-scale battles have been the final victory of the human confederation, or blocked the enemy’s attack and ended, but in terms of overall strength, the human confederation is still Absolutely weak. The human federation was able to win in two large-scale battles, not because it was strong, but because it benefited from the preparatory work and the solid foundation laid by Yu Linglong. More importantly, while achieving victory, the Human Federation also suffered huge losses and paid an extremely heavy price. By the time Yu Qingyu left Yanxing and returned to the homeland galaxy, the human federation was already at the end of the battle.
At that time, less than one-fifth of the main army formed by the Human Federation before the war had relatively complete combat capabilities, and only half of the reserve army mobilized and formed during the war had enough troops. Almost all corps have the problem of lack of personnel, and the recruits mobilized by the Human Federation are not enough to make up for the huge battle consumption, unable to provide supplements for the various corps, and even the main force cannot be guaranteed. It can even be said that the attack and defense of Yanxing will become the last straw to overwhelm the human federation. Because the loss is inevitable, even if you can hold the star, it will only return to the light, and it will not last for a long time.
Simply put, based on the circumstances at the time, if the Human Federation did not seek change, then after the enemy launched the third round of large-scale offensive, it would be completely annihilated.
The question is, how should it change
In fact, the federal authorities and senior military officials have been seeking changes, but they have never found the right direction.
Yu Qingyu's tactics during the Yanxing offensive and defensive battle, especially the initial tactics, pointed out the direction for these people.
At that time, Yuzhen was the first to realize this.
For the next six years, Yuzhen has been active, using his influence to support and assist Yu Qingyu. When the Yanxing offensive and defensive battle ended, that is, when the Bingyu and Kunyang tribes took the initiative to withdraw their troops, Yu Qingyu had been promoted to general and was the youngest general at the time.
At this point, the era of Yu Qingyu officially began.
In the second year of the end of the Yanxing offensive and defensive war, four second-rate top civilizations launched the third round of offensive, which is what the Human Federation calls the third full-scale battle.
In the early days of the battle, Yu Qingyu only obtained limited command power, which was responsible for guarding a section of the defense line. During this period, the human army still adopted the previous tactics, that is, to fight the enemy on all main fronts, never abandon any star system, and will not take the initiative to retreat. As a result, despite the tremendous sacrifices made, although thousands of officers and soldiers succeeded, the human legions in all directions were still unable to stop the advance of the enemy. At that time, the only exception was the front guarded by Yu Qingyu. Because on this front, Yu Qingyu adopted the tactics of guarding Yanxing. When the enemy launched an offensive, it destroyed all nearby star systems within hundreds of light years, forcing the enemy to attack only those guarded by the human legion. Planet, thus making full use of the advantages of the human army that is good at fighting defensive warfare. More importantly, because the forces are concentrated on a battlefield, it is not difficult for an enemy with a military advantage to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, at least it cannot fully utilize its military advantage and cannot quickly win victory.
At this time, the military had to admit and accept the defensive tactics proposed by Yu Qingyu.
Next, in the second half of the third full-scale battle, the human legions followed suit on all lines of defense, successfully curbing the enemy's advancing speed. By the end of the third full-scale battle, Yu Qingyu had become a general and was nominated as a marshal. According to unwritten rules, after being promoted to marshal, Yu Qingyu will gain command of the human legion and become the commander-in-chief of the human legion.
At that time, not only the military department, but also the federal authorities will have to obey his orders.
Because of his outstanding performance in the third full-scale battle, especially in the case of not suffering heavy losses, he stopped the enemy’s attack and defended the original line of defense, so if there is no accident, Yu Qingyu will definitely be in the third After the end of the second full battle, he became the first marshal of the human federation in this war. If Yu Qingyu commanded the human legion and strictly implemented the defensive tactics proposed by him, then in the following hundreds of years, even if the human confederation could not win, it would not be completely defeated. More importantly, as long as the main star system in the North Fourth District can be held and the enemy is severely damaged, there is hope that the enemy will be forced to agree to a truce.
Obviously, Yu Qingyu has ignited hope for the human confederation, and it is the first hope of truce since the beginning of the war.
In fact, this is also Yu Qingyu’s greatest contribution, that is, to point out the direction for the human federation, and let everyone realize that only by adopting this tactics of standing firm and clearing the country, they can be mentally prepared for the last battle, rather than thinking about how to preserve vested interests. Only the Federation can resist powerful enemies and hope to persist until the day of victory. It is with this hope that the human federation can unite as one.
Just this, Yu Qingyu is qualified to become the commander of the human federation.
In fact, at the end of the third full-scale battle, Yu Qingyu was not only a well-known hero, but also a role model and idol for everyone. Not only the officers and soldiers in the army, even the civilians also regarded him as an object of imitation, and believed that he was the current Xiao Wentian. It can be said that even without the support of the Yu Family, Yu Qingyu can still sit on the throne of the Marshal by virtue of his prestige.
However, whether to grant the rank of Marshal Yu Qingyu, to be precise, the absolute power to command everything, was still controversial at the time.
The key is that Yu Qingyu's tactics are too extreme.
Although this set of tactics effectively resisted the powerful enemy, the price was too great. During the third full-scale battle, more than 10,000 star systems were destroyed by the human army alone, and most of the inhabitants of the star systems failed to escape, and all became victims of the war. It is also true that there are voices against Yu Qingyu in the federal authorities and the military. Some people even believe that Yu Qingyu should be sent to a military court to be executed on the charge of returning to humanity. It was also suggested that Yu Qingyu was not defending the human confederation at all, but was a spy sent by the enemy. Everything he did was attacking the human confederation, and the ultimate goal was to destroy the human confederation.
These opposing voices eventually turned into a disaster.
Soon after the end of the third full-scale battle, the federal authorities passed with majority support a resolution to promote Yu Qingyu as a marshal and grant absolute rule.
At that time, no one thought that someone would regard Yu Qingyu as an enemy and would assassinate him during the award ceremony.
Perhaps someone thought about it, or expected it, but the insiders did not take action to stop it, and no one even came forward to issue a warning.
