The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

637. Ahsoka Tano

"Assault by the whole army! I want to capture Crystal City within today!" Worm Lostham sat on his command vehicle transformed from an ATT armored assault tank and gave an order angrily.

He understood that this was his last chance.

He put all his armored troops on top, and a large number of NR-N99 Persuader-class robot tanks rushed along the central main road of Crystal City, followed by the Octupala three-legged robot to provide fire support. Condor droid fighters were all concentrated on this battlefield, providing air cover for his legion.

In the sky, hordes of vulture robot fighter jets and Republic V-19 light fighter jets strangled frantically, and fighter jets were shot down almost every second. On the ground, the B-1 battle robots lined up and advanced, firing continuously at the same time, raining blast energy beams pouring into the defenders' positions in Crystal City.

The crumbling position was guarded by Republic clone troopers and Christophusian militia forces, with a total of 30,000 clones and over 800,000 Christophersis militia guarding Crystal City.

In fact, those militiamen are not very useful except for hiding behind the bunker and firing randomly without daring to put their heads on the ground, but on such a battlefield, it is better to have one more person who can shoot than none. Because there are too many robots pressing from the front!

Clone soldiers are always the first to arrive at the position, and they are always the last to leave. They often enter the fortifications first, and then let the militia troops enter after building a preliminary line of defense, preventing the fortifications from being damaged in a mess. . After the robot corps rushed over, they had to cover the evacuation of the militia who were basically in a state of rout when facing the endless waves of robots.

In this way, we fought and retreated, relying on the densely packed high-rise buildings in Crystal City for defense.

But the robot army is completely rude this time. If Worm Lostham had some scruples before and didn't directly open fire on the civilians, now he gives an order, and the robot army has entered a thorough killing mode!

As long as there is a place where someone may hide, a burst of rockets will be fired immediately, and as long as it is a building blocking the road, it will be completely plowed down. Whether it is a refugee camp or a shelter, as long as it blocks the marching route, it will be destroyed.

At this time, Anakin Skywalker finally arrived on the battlefield.

He flew a fighter jet over Crystal City to cooperate with the Home Defense Air Force of the planet Christofsis to fight against a large group of vulture robot fighters. After opening a gap, he landed on the planetary capital of Crystal City.

Modise, the Prime Minister of Christofsis, has long since disappeared, and only a few generals from the Home Defense Command and the clone commander are left here to direct the overall situation.

"How's the situation?" Anakin strode into the command center and asked.

"General!" A clone commander came over and gave him a military salute. Anakin knew this man. His name was Rex, and he was a captain of the 501st Legion.

Anakin saw him, nodded heavily and said, "I'm relieved to see you all come back alive from Planet Tess."

"This is our duty," Rex said.

"How is the battle going?" Anakin asked directly.

Rex replied: "To be honest, it's not good. The Separatist robot army is attacking like crazy, and there are too many of them. This morning alone, we have retreated 7 kilometers. Now we are building on the commercial square line The new position, here is a group of buildings with uneven heights, which is very suitable for the deployment of our three-dimensional firepower."

"What about self-propelled guns?" Anakin asked.

"At present all we can use is a batch of AZ-7 self-propelled artillery. We have established three artillery positions here, here and here, but these positions were bombed by separatist fighter jets this morning and have not yet fully recovered. .” Rex marked on the hologram.

Anakin thought for a while and said, "We can't just defend blindly. We must take the initiative to attack. We must destroy the Separatist armor units first." He stared at the holographic map and began to think about strategy.

At this time, another clone soldier came over and said: "General, we just received the news that another batch of reinforcements have been sent from the rear! They are now landing at the central spaceport of Crystal City."

Anakin said: "Very well, with the addition of this mobile force, our plan is more likely to be realized! Let's go to the spaceport first."

After speaking, he walked out quickly.

Another clone commander asked with some doubts: "I'm sorry, if I heard something right just now, General Skywalker didn't seem to say that he has any plans, did he?"

Rex picked up his helmet and said with a smile as he walked, "He said it was an attack plan."

When I came to the space port, I only saw more than a dozen Republic-class shuttles landing. In the case of small transportation, the Galactic Republic generally would not use the precious Cheer-class assault landing ship, but instead used this An 80-meter long, but more flexible and less expensive transport vessel.

Some clone troopers are stepping off the spaceship and directing construction machinery to transport all kinds of materials on the transport ship. In addition to 1,000 clone soldiers, the reinforcements sent this time were mainly some ammunition supplies and 50 AZ-7 light self-propelled artillery.

"Well, although there are not many people, these self-propelled artillery are very helpful for us to stabilize the position. A solid rear can make our attack more convenient, and I can't expect more..." Anakin said from an officer He took the list in his hand and signed on it.

At this time, a little girl from Toruga came over, came to Anakin's side, and asked a little cautiously, "Excuse me, are you Anakin-Mr. Skywalker?"

Anakin glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Oh, you are mistaken, you are Obi-Wan's new apprentice, right? I heard him say it, because my training is over. But now he is not here Here, fighting in space."

"Well, I think I'm not mistaken, you are my teacher." The little girl said very seriously, "My name is Ahsoka Tano, a Jedi apprentice, please give me your advice, teacher."

Anakin was taken aback, and then carefully looked at the little girl. She was thin and had healthy light brown skin. She looked only 13 or 14 years old. On her head were the characteristic striped tentacles of the Torugata people. Soft tentacles hung down from her temples like a wig, and there was indeed a lightsaber hanging from her waist. He cried out, "How is it possible, the Jedi Order must have made a mistake! It should be a mistake to accept a new apprentice." It's Obi-Wan! How could it be me!"

Ahsoka said: "I'm pretty sure I'm not mistaken. If you have any doubts, you should ask Master Yoda. Because he arranged it himself."

"It's impossible! When the battle here is over, I will personally reject the Jedi Order to confirm. Also, why did you, a child with no development, come to the battlefield!?" Anakin was obviously very unwilling to accept such a situation. An apprentice who looks like an oil bottle.

Ahsoka was offended, and said loudly: "If I remember correctly, you are not much older than me! In short, I am your apprentice, and this matter is settled like this, Tian Xingzi!"
