Large-scale wars were the time to test every outstanding commander.
In a long war, all commanders had to constantly face mistakes, mistakes made by themselves, mistakes made by their subordinates, and countless mistakes gathered together.
That was why the military paid special attention to execution.
But even elite forces like the Kyung Clan had to face the same problem.
But the artificial intelligence seemed to not make any mistakes. In the first long night, the army controlled by the artificial intelligence did not make any rash moves. Their precise command and individual execution were displayed to the extreme.
Qing Yi had never seen this kind of war before.
He could not plant spies to obtain information about the enemy, but the enemy had a strong air control ability. Originally, the Kyung Clan's Mountain Fall Metal Storm had an active defense system, but now the defense system was useless.
He could not find the enemy's mistakes because the artificial intelligence rarely made mistakes. After a night of fighting, Qing Yi even had a feeling that if he found the enemy making a mistake, he should not attack the mistake because that was what the artificial intelligence expected him to do.
If he could not find a shortcut from these two aspects, then all Qing Yi could do was to fight a war of attrition with real swords and guns.
However, each of the enemy's mortars was limited range, and even the soldiers' firing range was limited.
The Kyung Clan had large-caliber artillery, 152 mm caliber, with a range of 30 kilometers, which was enough to cover the range of the enemy's mortars.
There was a saying that the truth was everywhere within the range of the artillery.
However, the artificial intelligence controlled troops were hidden in the dark, and it was difficult to lock onto the enemy with the 152 mm howitzer.
Helpless, Qing Yi could only order the artillery to cover the entire range, and carry out a round of destruction within five to seven kilometers regardless of the cost.
Although the cost was huge, there was no other way. The enemy's mortars were even outside the range of their heavy machine guns, and they could not keep letting the enemy hit them without being able to retaliate.
But the artillery plowing the ground was only theoretical. It referred to the coverage of the matrix fire, and there would inevitably be gaps that the artillery could not cover.
On the other hand, Zero only needed to observe from the air to adjust the firing range, and she had already calculated the accurate trajectory.
In just a few seconds, the artificial intelligence soldiers within five to seven kilometers all hid in the gaps that could not be covered.
The cannons landed more than ten meters away from these AI soldiers. From time to time, shrapnel would fly out and knock the soldiers down. The soil on the ground was lifted up, and these soldiers were all covered in dirt.
However, when the artillery barrage ended, only 20% of the soldiers controlled by the artificial intelligence had died. Although there were still some soldiers injured, they could still fight.
Moreover, when there was a gap in the establishment of this troop, there would immediately be someone from the crowd at the back to fill it. There was no need for handover, no need for running-in. This soldier would immediately become the most qualified screw on this war machine.
After the bombardment, the positions of the Kyung Clan's 152mm howitzers were exposed to the air. Fortunately, the Kyung Clan troops were not stupid. The cannons were protected by layers of defense behind the defense line. No matter how accurate the enemy's mortars were, it was impossible to affect these cannons.
The AI could not transport the artillery with a longer range.
As a natural barrier, the Southwest Forest actually limited Zero's power, but it also crippled the Kyung Clan's military system. Compared to the peak combat power of both sides, it was like they were fighting with one arm tied together.
The war was still going on. Qing Yi sent someone to submit the frontline battle report to Qing Zhen.
At this time, Luo Lan was reading the document that had just been delivered. He sat next to Qing Zhen and said, puzzled, "That's strange. It clearly has the strength to flatten the Sanshan defense line. Why is it fighting like this? Under normal circumstances, only a commander who loves the people would choose this kind of battle method. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't fit this kind of character. "
Qing Zhen said, "I'm guessing that it now has a high degree of dependence on these human servers. So, it doesn't want its' servers' to have too many casualties, which would affect its operation. On the other hand, it probably wants to defeat the Kyung Clan on the battlefield with its commanding ability, not the human wave tactic. "
Qing Zhen, Luo Lan, and the others knew very well how many people there were in the Southwest Forest. All it would take was a wave from that terrifying horde to destroy the Three-Mountain Defense Line. However, Zero did not do that.
Luo Lan was even more puzzled. "What's the point of defeating the Kyung Clan head-on?"
"Maybe it's the AI's competitive spirit, or maybe it's Wang Shengzhi's last wish? Who knows? None of that matters, "Qing Zhen said as he shook his head.
"How long do you think the Sanshan defense line can last?" Luo Lan asked.
"Three days." Qing Zhen replied, "Last night was just a test. The real war has just begun. I'm guessing that AI has already found the weakness of the Sanshan defense line. "
Zhou Qi was listening at the side when he suddenly interrupted, "Wait, why does it sound like the two of you never thought we could win from the beginning?"
"Yes." Qing Zhen nodded. "It's not shameful to admit that we're weak. The other party came with the entire Central Plains, so it's only natural that the Kyung Clan would lose. So, the outcome isn't that hard to accept."
"You're Qing Zhen." Zhou Qi said with an exaggerated expression, "You're Qing Zhen. If even you think we're going to lose, then aren't we doomed? Aren't we doomed for humanity? "
Qing Zhen said, "That's not the key to winning this war."
"Where is it?" Zhou Qi asked.
However, this time, Qing Zhen did not answer Zhou Qi's question. Since he had been keeping this secret for so long, how could he reveal it now?
Only when all the opportunities presented themselves would the answer be revealed.
Zhou Qi curled his lips and said, "Then what do we do now? Sit here and wait for death? Hey, although you've already given me the money, I'm not going to sit here and wait for death. If the AI really manages to cross the Sanshan defense line, I'll just dive into the water and run away. I don't believe it's that powerful underwater. "
"No." Qing Zhen shook his head. "We're going to leave together."
"How? Where are we going? "Zhou Qi asked.
"To the Northwest," Qing Zhen suddenly said.
This time, not only Zhou Qi, but even Luo Lan was stunned. "Are we going to retreat to the Northwest? Are we going to abandon the entire Kyung Clan? But the Kyung Clan can't even win, so what's the point of hiding in the Northwest? You should also know that the forces we're facing in the Northwest are no less than ours. "
Zhou Qi frowned. "Why? Are you planning to rely on Ren Xiaosu and the other superhumans?"
Qing Zhen shook his head. "In the past, when there were no superhumans in human civilization, didn't they still pass on the torch to this day? We just need to unite our forces to create an opportunity. "
"Then why didn't we just retreat right from the start? What are you waiting for? Why did you still set up the Sanshan defense line? Why did you have to let the Kyung Clan's soldiers reach the human tide?" Zhou Qi asked.
Qing Zhen said, "Because we have to make the AI think it has defeated the Kyung Clan."
Just for this purpose alone, the Qing Consortium would probably have to sacrifice more than a hundred thousand soldiers one after another.
