The last node of the Seris Corridor, Serbia.
Now in the void here, various beams and energy bombs are flashing continuously, and the exchange of fire between the two sides is extremely fierce.
Originally, 200,000 Io Federation warships were struggling to block the exit of the Star Road, and another 100,000 warships were quickly rushing to the Star Road defense line, trying their best to prevent Wells from having the opportunity to establish a bridgehead at the exit.
However, the defensive advantage of the Io Federation did not last long. It was lost only when it destroyed the 50,000 battleships of the Wells Legion. After all, Serbia is not Horton, and the star path between it and Siris is very broad and enough. Support thousands of warships moving at the same time.
Therefore, when it is impossible to completely clear out every wave of enemy ships that come, the enemy warships at the exit of the Star Road will accumulate more and more, eventually forming a solid bridgehead.
Once the bridgehead is formed, Wells can easily defeat the Io Federation's fifth army with its superior numbers and stronger warships.
At the same time, in the virtual meeting room.
"No, the other side has already established a bridgehead at the Star Crossing. I can only hold on for 2 hours at most."
Joanna had a bitter look on her face. The current situation was very clear. The opponent was going to attack regardless of casualties. This was what Joanna was most afraid of. After all, she could not match the opponent in terms of the number of battleships or the performance of the battleships.
Moreover, the most critical issue is morale. The defenders in Serbia have never heard the name of Wells without changing their expressions. The title of Seris Demon is not for nothing.
In addition, the other party has carved out a path of nine deaths from ten deaths, and all the battleships and soldiers have completely turned into desperadoes.
There are not many tactics at the exit of this narrow Star Road. Once the offensive bridgehead is erected, everyone will compete to see who has more warships, who has stronger firepower, and who has a stronger will!
It is a pity that the Fifth Legion under Joanna's command is at a disadvantage in all three aspects.
"Commander Joanna, I suggest you retreat and give up Serbia for the time being! You will get nothing if you use up your fifth legion here! You will also lose the lives of many angels in vain!"
Li Cangqiong looked at the Serbian Star Path tactical images shared by Joanna and said.
He could already see that if this situation continued, the Fifth Army was destined to be completely wiped out in the end, and at most it could only destroy 150,000 to 200,000 warships of the Wells Army.
"Retreat? If I retreat here, the entire back will be a defenseless area!"
"Then, even if you persist for two hours before being completely wiped out, will it change the reality that the rear is defenseless?"
"this"
Joanna wanted to refute, but didn't know how.
He understood that what Li Cangqiong said was the truth, and if he continued to stick to it, he wouldn't be able to get anything or change anything!
But as the army commander of the Io Federation, let him run away as soon as the fight started? This is actually quite a bit.
"Commander Joanna, I remember that your battleships have some advantages compared to the battleships of the Oaks Empire, such as speed!"
That's right, although the battleships of the Io Federation are significantly weaker than the battleships of the Ox Empire in both attack and defense power.
But the speed of the battleship is much faster than that, reaching a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second. This speed is even 2,000 kilometers per second faster than the current Snow Leopard-class battlecruiser of the Human Federation.
"you mean?"
At this time, a figure appeared in the conference room again. This was Elfi, the new Angel Queen of the Io Federation and the former commander of the Third Legion!
"Li Cangqiong, this is the current queen of the Io Federation, Her Majesty Elfi!"
"Hello, Her Majesty Queen Elfie!"
"No need to be polite. The situation is urgent now. This person just now seems to have the idea of breaking the situation, so please speak up quickly!"
Even though Elfie became the queen, she still maintained the same style as the commander of the army, acting vigorously and resolutely.
"Okay, now the Fifth Army is defending Serbia. According to my estimation, it will be completely wiped out in 2 hours at most, and it can only destroy about 150,000 to 200,000 warships of the Wells Army. From a war perspective, this is very unwise. of."
"My idea is that Commander Joanna can use her speed advantage to decisively abandon Serbia and retreat to the rear star system when the opponent has established a bridgehead and our own advantages have been lost."
"According to the star map, there are two star systems connected behind Serbia, namely Hirsey and Mihoton, which are 0.2 and 0.3 light years away from Serbia respectively."
"Commander Joanna can lead the Fifth Army to retreat to Hillsey and re-establish the defense line. What Wells wants now is speed. His first choice must be on Hillsey, but to ensure nothing goes wrong, Commander Elena The officer can lead the fleet and set off for Mihoton immediately!"
"We are setting off for Hillside. Of course, we may not be able to keep up with the speed. After all, it takes about 27 days from us to Hillside!"
"But it doesn't matter. If Wells arrives at Hilsey before we arrive, then Commander Joanna can just use the advantage of the Star Path to kill tens of thousands more of his warships, and then continue to retreat when the opponent establishes a bridgehead. .”
"Everyone needs to see our advantages, which are strategic depth, backup, and supplies!"
"And what about Wells? He can only advance all the way, with no rear, no supplies, and no support! Just 500,000 battleships, well, it should be 420,000 battleships now!"
"Therefore, don't fight hard. If the first line of defense doesn't work, use the second line. If the second line of defense doesn't work, use the third line. In fact, even without us, the Fifth Army alone can use the speed advantage to compete with the early stage of Star Way defense. The advantages gradually ate up the Wells Army."
Li Cangqiong finished talking about his tactics in one breath. In fact, his strategic thinking is very simple and direct. Since his side has depth, and every star system has the initial defensive advantage of the Star Way, why not take advantage of it
When you have a defensive advantage, destroy tens of thousands of the opponent's warships, then quickly retreat, continue to deploy the Star Way defense line at a node, and rely on depth to eat the opponent alive.
By doing this, even if you don't go up, the Io Federation's third legion won't go up either. The fifth legion alone can consume the Wells legion, right
And since Siris was lost, the entire Miracle Star Territory has become a high-risk star territory. Most people here have evacuated long ago. For decades, few angels have been willing to immigrate to this star territory, so there are not many people at all. , even the trouble of large-scale evacuation of people is saved.
The most important thing is that what Wells wants now is speed, to break out all the way as fast as possible, so he has no time to waste on destroying planets.
For the Io Federation, it was just a matter of giving up some territory in a short period of time and taking it back a few months later, without much actual loss.
After listening to Li Cangqiong's words, Alfie pondered for a while and then spoke to Joanna!
"Commander Joanna, as the queen, I order you to immediately lead the Fifth Army to retreat to Sirsay and reposition the Star Road defense line!"
