2074. A Crushing Defeat
The shouts and gunfire around him gradually faded away, and the torrential rain poured down as if there was no end to it. Obi-Wan Kenobi struggled for a moment and raised his head from the ground. What he saw was not only countless corpses, but also a large number of wounded moaning on the ground. The mechanical legs were blown up, and the overturned AT-TE was still lying untouched on the ground. The pilots inside had all been dragged out and killed.
There was no doubt that the Republic army was retreating, and they were retreating without taking their wounded and heavy equipment with them. In other words, they were retreating in defeat!
At this time, a slender leg suddenly appeared in front of Obi-Wan. He raised his head with difficulty and saw the peacock that he had met once before standing in front of him.
"Long time no see, Master Obi-Wan," Peacock said calmly.
"If possible, I would prefer to meet in a spacious and dry office on Coruscant," Obi-Wan said self-deprecatingly. Obi-Wan mocked himself and continued, "Have you finally chosen to betray the Republic and join the ranks of the separatists?"
"And you, the Jedi Warriors, have finally become the messengers of war and slaughter? Just like the kind of people you swore to destroy. " Peacock replied tit-for-tat. She waved her hand, and a few Zealots walked over and dragged Obi-Wan up from the ground.
…
After the Republic army invaded the planet Jabim, they split into three groups, and they encountered the most resolute counterattack of the Confederation army from three directions. The commanders of the Republic found that they were facing a whole new group of enemies! New robot models, new tactics, new soldiers, and the most frightening thing was that the level of elite of these troops was no less than the clone soldiers!
It should be known that the genes of the clone soldiers came from the most outstanding and powerful bounty hunter in the galaxy, Jango Fett! Jango Fett had also personally participated in the training of the first batch of soldiers. Every clone soldier had the best physical fitness and combat instincts that could best adapt to various situations on the battlefield. They had also received all kinds of harsh training. Every clone soldier was a perfect killing machine!
But this time, they found that the army sent by the Jabim people to fight back was actually on par with them! First of all, there were robots that were extremely fast and could freely switch between bipedal and quadruped mode. Such robots were actually not uncommon in the Milky Way. However, the wide variety of functions also represented the complexity of the system, which also led to the robot not being able to deal with various unexpected events flexibly. However, these robots were completely different. They were actually as intelligent as humans! They were not as rigid as other Androids. They would often adjust their strategies according to different battlefield situations!
Moreover, there was also a type of soldiers who wore mechanized exoskeletons. These soldiers' performance on the battlefield was even more experienced than the clone soldiers, and their physical fitness was also stronger. With the help of the mechanized exoskeleton, almost every soldier was a mini superman!
In the face of such an army of humans and robots, the clone soldiers could not gain the upper hand at all. It could even be said that if not for the lack of armored units, the clone army would have long been defeated.
After Obi-Wan's army encountered a counterattack and had no choice but to retreat, the Jedi Master Hilas and Nokuna's army also encountered a counterattack. The strange robot troops and the army wearing mechanized exoskeletons were the vanguard, while the Jabim militia, who were poorly equipped but had high morale, followed behind them. They rushed towards the Republic army like a tidal wave.
The Jabim leader Alto Stratos and the Dark Jedi Knight Asajj Ventress led the other two counterattack forces. Under their resolute counterattack, the clone army had no choice but to retreat. Fortunately, the clone soldiers were all well-trained and extremely elite. Otherwise, this retreat would have definitely turned into a rout!
But that was just the beginning of the Republic army's nightmare!
The Jabim army had been chasing closely behind the Republic army. They tried to launch attacks along the way. Even though every tentative attack was repelled by the ever-vigilant clone soldiers, they were not in a hurry. They just continued to follow behind the Republic army.
In such a situation of chasing each other, the Zealots equipped with mechanized exoskeletons and the T-2 robots naturally had the upper hand. They chased after the Republic army without rest. But no matter how elite the clone soldiers were, they still needed to eat and rest! They could not be like the Zealots, who could move their exoskeletons forward while eating and drinking leisurely. They could even take a nap without worrying about falling.
Such a pursuit was hopeless. What was even more hopeless was that even though the two Jedi Masters, Nokuna and Hilas, kept sending messages to the rear for help, there was no response from Kass, the Jedi Master who was guarding the rear!
…
At the same time, the Republic's rear base built on a rocky land without mud, Cobalt Base, was under fierce attack!
Thirty levitating armored vehicles with a flat rhombus chassis and small turrets were advancing at high speed. At the same time, the ion cannons on the turrets were constantly pouring fire towards the base. It was the Horned Dragon Tank! This type of armored unit had served in Tang Yu's army for a long time. Although its firepower and defense could no longer keep up with the demands, it was a very reliable hovering unit. In the muddy world of planet Jabim, it was just the right choice to display its greatest power!
Following the attack of the Horned Dragon Tanks were thousands of T-2 Combat Robots! This armored unit had set off a few days ago. With their excellent mobility, they constantly circled the rear of the Republic army. Under the cover of the heavy rain, the Republic army did not notice their movements at all!
When this armored unit launched an attack on the Cobalt Base behind the Republic, Master Kass, who was defending the base, woke up from her daze. At this time, she only had hundreds of clone soldiers and two or three AT-TE Walkers that were being repaired!
Under the cover of the Horned Dragon Tanks' firepower, the T-2 Combat Robots surged forward like a tide. The clone soldiers resisted desperately with a few fixed turrets. There were even a few LAAT gunships that took off in the heavy rain to provide support. However, these gunships had to lower their altitude to effectively pour fire on the ground. Soon, they were all shot down.
Master Kass waved her lightsaber and fought on the front line. Even the JEDI apprentices who stayed behind at the base took out their lightsabers and joined the battle! However, these apprentices had not yet completed their training. They could not even effectively deflect the plasma cannons and energy beams fired by the enemy. When the cold-blooded and ruthless T-2 battle robots rushed up, these apprentices were killed one by one!
The attack on Cobalt Base lasted for an entire day. When the heavy rain finally stopped, the rare sunlight on Jabim pierced through the dark clouds. When the warm light shone on the world, Master Kass was finally exhausted. She was surrounded by hundreds of Combat Robots, and countless energy beams hit her body from different directions!
