At this time, 8 Lucrehulk-class Battleships left the geosynchronous orbit of the Geonosis and joined the formation of 15 Kol-class Battlecruisers led by Severance Tann.
Tang Xiao's figure appeared on the screen in front of Tann, and he smiled lightly and said, "You've done a good job, Tann. Let's go, we've already helped Count Dooku a lot, the war has already begun. It's according to plan."
"If the Commanders of the Republic are only at this level, I think we can indeed plan more." Sev'rance Tann stretched out her index finger and twisted her hair around her fingertips, "It's just a few shots and they were finished. There's really nothing interesting here."
Tang Xiao smiled, indeed, what Sev'rance Tann said was true. Their own Fleet of the Fourth Civilization really only fired a few shots, whether it was involved, mobilized, or melee, all of them were the Fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The 15 Kol-class Battlecruisers here even the Deflector Shield didn't even touch it.
And this time the goal has been achieved. During the Battle of Geonosis, it was impossible for the Republic to destroy the Transport Fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Although the battle situation on the ground was still the same as in the plot, it lost the support of the Fleet in space. The results they can achieve will definitely be very limited.
Even speaking, in order to take the 200,000 Troops back, the battlefield here may involve more Troops and Fleets from the Republic, making this battle a war of attrition.
If this is the case, then the next step of the plan can indeed be a little more adventurous.
Tang Xiao looked at a Planet on the Star Map, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
...
At this moment, on Geonosis, the frontal battlefield of the Main Lair, the battle situation has begun to become more and more cruel. The Confederacy of Independent Systems assembled an army of 1.1 Million Droids on the front and launched wave after wave of offensives against the landing sites established by the Clone Army of the Republic.
Moreover, there are a large number of Heavy Armor Units in this Droid Army, including 7,500 OG-9 Homing Spider Droids with a height of 7.32 meters, 15,000 DSD1 Dwarf Spider Droids that can walk on upright walls and mountains, 4,100 IG-227 Hailfire-class Droid Tanks and more.
But this Army of Droids didn't have much Tactical Command, they only knew how to charge forward foolishly, and were soon destroyed in pieces under the firepower of the Clone Army.
The ground troops of the Clone Army deployed hundreds of solid positions relying on 2160 AT-TE All-Terrain Tactical Walkers and deployed more than 8000 E-Web Heavy Repeating Blasters. E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster which combines reliability and portability, is a very cost-effective weapon that the Republic has rarely seen in recent years.
Behind the position, 100 SPHA-T All-Terrain Self-Propelled Artillery provided terrible long-range firepower. This Self-Propelled Artillery was 140.2 meters long and 20.6 meters high. Even firing can directly blast a sea of fire hundreds of meters long and more than 20 meters wide in the steel torrent of the Droid Army!
After the 1,000 LAAT/I Gunships transported all the Troops, they also began to rely on air supremacy to bombard the positions of the Droid Army unscrupulously.
In addition, the Clone Army also deployed more than 100 TX-130 Saber-class Fighter Tanks as a mobile force, focusing on cleaning up those high-threat units in the Droid Army.
Faced with such a luxurious firepower configuration, even if the Droid Legion of the Confederacy of Independent Systems had five times the number, it would not be able to shake the strong position of the Clone Army. Hundreds of Droids were destroyed almost every second.
The destruction of those expensive Heavy Combat Machines also gave Count Dooku a headache in the Command Center.
In the sky, Jedi Master Adi Gallia led a team of 15 Jedi Knights flying Delta-7 Fighters and 40 Clone Pilots flying V-19 Torrent Fighters against the Sabaoth Squadron that had invaded the atmosphere.
After a long period of combat, the Fighters of the Sabaoth Squadron were shot down in large numbers. Faced with the extremely fierce Jedi Fighters rushing towards them, they panicked and wanted to escape. As a result, one of the Battleships accidentally entered the range of fire from the Ground Troops of the Clone Army and was intensively bombed by more than 30 SPHA Self-Propelled Artillery, and crashed within 5 minutes.
The remaining two Warships were also shot down by Adi Gallia later.
After Sev'rance Tann's Fleet departed, the forces of the Galactic Republic regained the upper hand.
In order to save the defeat, General Grievous, who was busy commanding the Transport Fleet to pack and leave as soon as possible, ordered Trabo's 10 Munificent-class Frigates to immediately enter the atmosphere of Geonosis to support the operation.
At the same time, Count Dooku also began to mobilize Fleets from other directions to rush over for reinforcements. After learning that Master Windu and Master Yoda were here, he also wanted to win the battle and send off the core of the Jedi Knights headed by them.
The remaining 50 or so Jedi Knights led by Master Windu also took over control of the Clone Army, with each Jedi Master commanding a separate force. Although these Jedi Masters have never attended Military Academies, they have the ability to predict danger, and with the professional assistance of Clone Officers, their combat capabilities are further enhanced.
The Clone Army destroyed a large number of Droids along the way, and then they stepped on the Droid wreckage to fight back. The 200,000 Clone Army broke through the Droid Army's battle line from 7 directions to form a gap, dividing the Droid Army.
In the previous attack, the Droid Legion, which lost most of the Heavy Combat Machines, was defeated, but these Droids who did not know fear continued to attack, and were then destroyed by the powerful firepower of the Clone Army. This actually accelerated the destruction of the Droid Legion.
As the front continued to advance, even the Spherical Core Ships of some Lucrehulk-class Battleships were destroyed by the firepower of the SPHA Self-Propelled Artillery that entered the range because they were too late to take off.
Seeing that the battle situation was not good, Nute Gunray, San Hill and others hurriedly escaped by spaceship, and Count Dooku also left the Army to the battered General Grievous and left. The Geonosian Archduke Poggle led the Geonosians to hide in the city network they built underground, and dared not come out for the time being.
At this time, Trabo's Fleet finally arrived late, and launched an air battle with 13 Acclamator-class Assault Ships, finally saving a little bit of defeat.
Here, General Grievous finally sent the Transport Fleet away, and he also came to the scene to command all forces. Under his strict orders, Poggle once again dispatched 150,000 Geonosian Soldiers and more than 400,000 Droids from other places to join the battle.
