367. Battle of Naboo (eight)
Time goes back to one day ago, when Palpatine was still enjoying Mon Calamari's song and dance performance with Hego-Damask II, a life and death battle was also taking place on Naboo.
With the help of Qui-Gon-Master Jin, Queen Amidala and his party escaped the pursuit and interception of Trade Federation - this is actually not accurate, because Newt Gunray had already dispatched all spaceships to contain Queen Amidala who had escaped before. Now in the outer orbit of Naboo, there is only one armed Luukri-Hok-class freighter as a robot control ship, controlling all the combat robots that invade Naboo.
And in fact, for both Das-Sidious and Das-Pregas, the Naboo incident has completed its historical mission so far, so they don't care about the outcome at all. So I never thought about reminding Nute Gunray, I just told him that Queen Amidala returned to Naboo. As for other mistakes and omissions, I didn't bother to talk at all.
And Newt Gunray had already brought trouble to the parliament because of this matter, and it seemed that it actually led to the resignation of the speaker Phineas-Valorum, so he did not dare to call back the other scattered warships Naboo.
So the current situation of Naboo has become a very abnormal situation, with a giant armed cargo ship controlling 2 million robots.
The military observer Xiao Guanghua sent by Fourth Civilization said four words: the way to death.
After Queen Amidala evaded the pursuers, he went directly to the holy land where Gungan took refuge under the leadership of Gungan Jar-Jar Binks. In a very low profile, he begged the humans of Gungan and Naboo to form an alliance and send troops to resist Trade Federation.
Facing the invasion of Trade Federation, Gungan was originally angry. The population accounted for the majority on Naboo. With a total population of nearly 3 billion, they had maintained a large army because they had many conflicts with humans before.
But they themselves also understand that their technology is too backward and they are definitely no match for Trade Federation, so they have been hiding underwater.
However, hiding is not an option. When Queen Amidala came to the door and knelt down on the spot to request an alliance, Gungan Grand Leader Rugor Nass (Rugor Nass), whose self-esteem was greatly satisfied, agreed to Queen Amidala's request and was willing to send troops to help the humans of Naboo.
In fact, at this time, resistance movements broke out one after another everywhere in Naboo. Naboo's regular army was broken into pieces and harassed Trade Federation's robot army everywhere. Moreover, with a large number of spaceships evacuating, Trade Federation's army did not have enough aircraft to ensure air superiority.
If the number of Naboo's N-1 starfighters were not extremely limited, maybe they could really use this excellent and very expensive starfighter to launch a counterattack against Trade Federation.
But no matter what, Trade Federation's 2 million robot army is still unshakable, not to mention that this army is also equipped with a large number of tanks and personnel carriers, and has a high degree of mechanization. After all, they came in 60 spaceships.
Queen Amidala, Qui-Gon-Jin and Luger-Nass agreed on a strategy. They divided their forces into two groups, and Gungan assembled an army to pretend to attack Naboo Human Capital Theed City attracted the attention of Trade Federation robot army, and then Qui-Gon-Jin led an elite team to sneak into Theed City.
Then this elite team will be divided into three. One team will contact the resistance forces near Theed City and constantly harass the Trade Federation army; the other team will go straight to the palace and capture Newt Gunray and their adjutant Rune Harkou; the last team will assault the apron, seize the N-1 starfighter squadron there, and then launch a desperate assault on the robot control ship in outer orbit.
This is a desperate battle plan. No matter who is on the road, there is almost no chance of winning, but this is all they can do.
Afterwards, Gungan Grand Leader Luger Nass assembled an army of 100,000, appointed Jar Jar Binks as Grand General, and attacked Theed City occupied by Trade Federation.
After receiving the news, Newt Gunray responded immediately. He mobilized the surrounding robot legions to fight. The first batch of troops includes an army of 50,000 B-1 combat robots, 36 AAT assault tank (Armored Assault Tanks), 48 MTT cargo transport, and 50 PAC attack transport (Platoon Attack craft).
At least 300,000 robot armies are coming soon.
At this time, military observer Xiao Guanghua, who heard that there was going to be a war, could not restrain his excitement. He was also annoyed by the small-scale guerrilla warfare before, but now there is finally a large-scale battle. He put Tang Xiao's words behind him and took the initiative to ask Newt Gunray to participate in this battle in person.
Newt Gunray, who thought he had a chance to win, naturally agreed and gave Xiao Guanghua command rights, allowing him to convey tactical instructions to the robot control ship through the captain robot, and then the operators would complete his combat command.
However, this battle does not require Xiao Guanghua to command anything. Although Gungan's 100,000 army has a large number of people, its equipment is extremely backward. The infantry is equipped with Booma made of plasma ore, a sphere similar to a plasma grenade, which can directly destroy the B-1 combat robot. However, this kind of attack method that relies on hand throwing is not the opponent of the Trade Federation army with tanks.
Xiao Guanghua gave an awesome order and commanded the 50,000-strong army of robots to attack across the board. After breaking through Gungan's shield position, AAT assault tank covered PAC attack transport and drove straight in, directly dividing Gungan's troops into several parts, and they were immediately defeated.
On the other hand, the team that broke into Theed City made relatively smooth progress.
With the cooperation of the underground resistance forces, they broke into the palace directly. After a fierce battle, Queen Amidala successfully captured Newt Gunray and Rune Harkor who were completely unprepared. However, they were also blocked in the King's Hall by the robot army who came after hearing the news and did not dare to go out.
When Qui-Gon-Jin and Obi-Wan-Kenobi were covering the pilot team to occupy the apron, they were chased by who had been chasing them. Sith Lord Das-Maul was blocked, and the master and apprentice attacked Das-Maul, but Das-Maul was undaunted and did not lose at all with one against two.
Naboo's pilot team also successfully grabbed a squadron of N-1 starfighters on the Royal Air Force tarmac. This was Naboo's last possession.
More than 20 N-1 starfighters flew directly into the outer orbit of Naboo, and had a fierce exchange of fire with Vulture droid fighter that was escorting the Luukri-Hok-class freighter that was the robot control ship.
The navigation robot R2-D2 of Anakin-Skywalker and Queen Amidala was originally hiding in an N-1 starfighter. Later, by some mistake, he actually started the plane and flew towards the robot control ship under the influence of autopilot!

PS: I tried to keep the content of the movie as brief as possible, but I still have to write what needs to be explained. First, not every reader has watched the movie, and second, if you skip it directly, the plot will appear incomplete. Please be patient with these types of chapters. Anyway, Clone Wars is only three movies before and after, but the time span is as long as 13 years, and there will not be too many chapters that overlap with the plot of the movie.
