After careful observation for a while, Yang Yi handed the telescope to Shen Chengwen next to him. After Shen Chengwen could see clearly, Yang Yi quietly retreated.
The two were lying in an ambush in a depression outside the plain, and not far in front was a crater on the periphery of the plain. On the highest mountain, with dazzling lights shining, a team of Lei Ling clan officers and soldiers are doing their best, and the defense formula based on the mountain is beginning to take shape.
Soon, Shen Chengwen also retreated to the bottom of the depression.
Although the depressions are not very deep, they are large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and they are large enough to block the enemy's sight.
In the depression, there are dozens of officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade. They are the elite of the special investigation team, all of them are Renkui fighters, and they all have two original energy converters, but only one is the S-level original energy converter, which is the one sent by Yang Yi, and the strength is a little worse than Shen Chengwen. It's just that they all have a wealth of actual combat experience, and they are determined, and they really want to fight no worse than the enemy's officers.
As before, Yang Yi and the others did not use the original energy converter, and they all wore protective clothing. In order not to be detected by the enemy, they also reduced the power of the protective clothing to a minimum, that is, only maintains the temperature and provides oxygen, and all other functions are turned off, because electromagnetic radiation may also be detected by the enemy.
When Shen Chengwen retreated, Yang Yi had gathered the officers and soldiers.
The situation was clear at a glance. Within ten kilometers, there was only this fortification under construction, and the enemy's construction progress was astonishingly fast. Yang Yi and the others arrived four hours ago, only to lay the foundation at that time. Although it has long been heard that the Lei Ling Clan Army’s engineering unit is very powerful, most of the construction work was completed in just a few hours, and Yang Yi and others were still extremely shocked.
Obviously, it's not just here.
Before coming over, Yang Yi and the others knew that after the Lei Ling Clan Army entered the Weeping Plain, it first built a high tower in the center of the plain, which was the command tower of the Legion, and then began to build fortifications on the crater on the periphery of the plain. According to the understanding of Yang Yi and others, this is the standard procedure for the Leiling Clan Corps to build a fortress-level barracks. As expected, there is a fortification every ten kilometers on the crater. Even if there are only three corps of engineering units, at the current construction speed, they can build a line of defense in about ten days. With the supporting fortifications and the heavy weapons sent by the spacecraft, three Lei Ling clan legions can defend this barracks. At that time, let alone Yang Yi only has twenty legions in his hand, and he has no heavy weapons to attack the fortress, even if he has, and more troops, he may not be able to take down the fortress. To put it bluntly, as long as the Lei Ling clan's army establishes a line of defense, even the Silicon Charm army commanded by the emperor can only sigh.
Procrastination is definitely not a solution.
Of course, Yang Yi and the others came here not only to observe the enemy, but also to look for opportunities.
"Obviously, the Leiling Clan Army is going to be stationed here for a long time, and judging from the layout of the outer defense line, the enemy intends to control the entire Weeping Plain." Yang Yi drew a circle on the ground. "The area of the plain is large enough to station hundreds of legions. Even if it is conservatively estimated, there is no problem with accommodating a hundred legions. From this, it can be concluded that the enemy is not only temporarily staying here, but must have made long-term plans."
"Also, judging from the construction speed of the outer defense line, the enemy's large forces will probably arrive soon, not more than ten days later." Shen Chengwen added.
Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "We can't do anything when the enemy's large troops arrive, even if there are not a hundred legions. In other words, if we want to fight, it will only be the past few days, and we can't delay it. It’s just how to fight, we have to think clearly."
"What else is there to say?" Shen Cheng looked at Yang Yi unclearly.
Yang Yi smiled faintly and didn't say much.
"Since we are here, the enemy's large forces have not arrived, and the enemy does not know that we are here, so the defense is very lax. Let alone, we have been here for four hours, but we have not found the enemy's patrol. All the guards near the fortifications have withdrawn." Shen Chengwen paused for a while, then said, "Destroy that fortification, and the enemy's guards will rush over. Even if you can't beat it, you can only retreat, and you can force the enemy to strengthen its defenses. , Naturally slow down the construction of the fortifications. Unsurprisingly, the enemy’s large forces will not come until the camp is fully built. Of course, it’s no problem to kill a few engineers with our strength."
"and then?"
"Then what?" Shen Cheng looked at Yang Yi with little understanding.
"Do you think that after being attacked, the commander of the Lei Ling Clan Corps would think that the Silicon Charm Alliance did it
"This… "
"Yes, the Silicon Charm army is nearby, and the commander of the Lei Ling Clan Corps may not know the truth, but as long as the battle report is sent back, the Wanluo War Emperor will know that it is not Kutum's silicon that attacked the Lei Ling Clan Corps. The Charm Legion, but us, is the Legion of the Human Federation." Yang Yichang exhaled, and said, "If the King Wanluo is cruel and decides that it is us, he will immediately withdraw the three legions and then destroy the slag star. At that time, even if we escaped by chance, we would certainly not be able to prevent the Lei Ling tribe’s fleet from leaving. More importantly, if Wan Luo Warlord was a little smarter, he would block the Slag Star and threaten the Star Soul Queen with us. Don’t forget, Star The Soul Queen established an alliance with the Human Federation through me. At that time, the Star Soul Queen will inevitably compromise with the Wan Luo War Emperor. Even if the Wan Luo War Emperor is not smart enough, or for other reasons, such as not knowing that he is hiding in the Slag Star It's us who will let the large troops arrive on time. We can't even fight three Leiling clan legions, so why do we fight with hundreds of legions?"
"Could it be that we don't do anything?"
"Of course not. If you don't act now, then you are waiting to die."
"so what should I do now?"
Yang Yichang exhaled and said, "Actually, your idea is not wrong. The top priority is to try to slow the enemy’s construction of camps. To put it bluntly, as long as this camp is built, even if the Lei Ling tribe’s large troops do not arrive, the three legions will also It can cost us a heavy price. It’s just that we can’t directly attack. When the battle begins, we will be discovered by the enemy no matter what the outcome is.
Shen Chengwen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
"We came in time, and the enemy's defenses are lax." Yang Yi glanced at the officers and soldiers around him. "It's not easy, we will do it now."
"how to spell?"
"What is this place?"
Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't quite understand what Yang Yi meant.
"This is the slag star, and we have already figured out the internal structure of this planet. If there is an earthquake and it happens to be near the Weeping Plain, even if it happens to be a little bit by chance, the enemy may not be suspicious. You know, this planet is early It was hollowed out, and the geological structure is very unstable." Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "As long as the intensity of the earthquake is high enough, it is not just a fortification that will be destroyed."
At this time, Shen Chengwen understood, and other officers and soldiers also understood.
Yang Yi didn't talk any more, and stood up first.
However, before Shen Chengwen got up, Yang Yi pressed his hand down.
"what happened?"
"The others stay here, let's go up and have a look."
Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, but then he thought that Yang Yi was extremely sensitive to fluctuations in the original energy, and he must have discovered something, so he followed.
Soon, the two returned to the place where they had lurked before.
On the distant mountain peak, the lights are still brightly lit, and there are still many engineers and soldiers of the Lei Ling clan busy, but it is not the same as before.
After observing carefully for a while, Yang Yi let out a sigh of relief.
"What did you find?"
"An officer came, the original energy fluctuated very obviously, and he organized other engineering officers and soldiers. It should be an officer of the engineering unit."
"What high-level officer?"
"That guy has an advanced power converter, at least AAA, maybe S grade." Yang Yichao Shen Chengwen looked over, "with this level of power converter, at least should be a mid-level officer?"
Shen Chengwen nodded and said, "If it's a mid-level officer, then this guy must be a veteran. Maybe he has been in the Lei Ling Clan Corps for hundreds of years, and may even have participated in the last Greenwich War. Otherwise, At most, I have only A-level primary energy converters."
"Are you sure?"
"At least in the last war, the Lei Ling clan didn't have enough S-level original energy converters. They were only distributed to generals, and it was difficult for intermediate officers to obtain them."
"Maybe, that guy is the commander of the engineering unit."
"It's possible." Shen Chengwen paused for a while, then said, "Only three corps came, and we did not find heavy engineering equipment, so these engineers are likely to be the corps' engineering units. In this case, their command The officer must be a mid-level officer."
"In other words, he is responsible for the construction of the entire camp?"
"If he is the commander, he must be in charge."
"So, does he know the reason for the construction of this camp?"
"This..." Shen Chengwen hesitated for a while before saying, "It should be unclear. He is only responsible for the construction of the project, so he only needs to know what kind of camp to build, and the purpose of building the camp is obviously nothing to do with him. The commander will not tell him either."
"He at least knows the specifics of this camp."
Shen Chengwen nodded and said: "He not only knows, but he knows. Simply put, he knows how big the camp is after it is built, and the deployment of various facilities. If you want to do If you know the layout of this camp, you have to capture him alive."
"It seems that we have to plan well."
"Catch him alive?" Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Yi in disbelief.
"He has at most one S-level original energy converter, and he is an engineer. The combat power is not too strong. You don't have confidence in yourself, right?"
Shen Chengwen rolled his eyes and was speechless at Yang Yi's remarks.
It is not that he has no confidence in himself, but rather captures a Lei Ling clan officer who has an S-class original energy converter alive, even if it is just an officer of the engineering unit, it is by no means simple.
