Asteroid belt area 027, bridge of the Uranus.
"Report, the main force of the Fourth Fleet has exchanged fire with the Oaks Empire Fleet in Area 016."
"Notify the fleet to turn to bearing 070."
"clear!"
"Send a message using confidential line No. 7, and the content is written to meet in area No. 019."
"yes!"
Although I have some doubts, area 019 is exactly where my fleet will go after turning around. Are there reinforcements
But since the commander won’t tell you, you shouldn’t ask around!
At this moment, on the main battlefield in Area 016, 5,000 warships of the Fourth Fleet have formed a tight formation and are making a high-speed assault in the direction of Fleet 010.
This was somewhat beyond the expectations of Cody, the commander of the Oaks Empire's vanguard fleet. After all, he had heard that Liang Xingchen's daughter was abducted aboard. He thought that humans would not dare to focus fire in this direction, so he only deployed 2,000 warships. The fleet is deployed in front of the Fourth Fleet.
While Cody was still hesitating whether to dispatch a fleet to support the left array, the assault fleet sent by Liang Xingchen had already opened fire.
The attack of 5,000 ships on 2,000 ships caused the Oaks Empire to lose more than 200 warships in an instant, and from time to time, energy bombs flashed past the transport ships that were escaping at full speed.
This scene made Cody's heart tremble. If they were hit by a stray bullet and the Ninth Prince was killed, they would not be able to escape the fate of being executed by the emperor even if they destroyed the human race.
As a last resort, they had to arrange 10,000 warships to support the left side, and ordered the remaining warships in the original left array to cover the transport ships to leave the battlefield and evacuate towards Jupiter.
A few minutes later, the remaining 900 or so warships began to escort the transport ship and slowly retreat. The 10,000 warships supported from the center filled the gap and faced the five squadrons that attacked.
At this moment, the entire battlefield has been divided into two parts. One is the right front of the Fourth Fleet, where there are five squadrons with currently about 4,700 warships, facing the 10,000 warships of the Oaks Empire.
The other place is the main battlefield in the center, where the main 10,000 battleships of the Fourth Fleet are facing off against the 18,000 battleships of the Oaks Empire.
"Order the assault ship to turn to 050 and make an arc detour!"
"yes!"
In the center, the fleets of both sides have opened up their postures and fiercely bombarded each other, but this cannot be decided in a short time. Liang Xingchen never expected victory in conventional bombardment. The key now is whether the enemy fleet on the right front can win. Will bite the hook.
After receiving Liang Xingchen's order, the assault fleet immediately changed its course and began to fly in an arc in the direction of 050.
This position is quite good. Why is it so good? Because after flying through the arc, it will just pass the 10,000 battleships in front and behind the escaping transport ship.
After discovering this situation, Cody immediately ordered the 10,000 battleships on his left to turn around and catch up, bite the tail of the human fleet, and completely eliminate them.
"Report, the 10,000 enemy ships in the 010 direction have begun to turn. It seems that they are going to bite the tail of the assault force. Once bitten by it, the situation will become very bad."
"Yes, I know. I gave the order for the main fleet to abandon the enemy in the front and also turn to position 050. Then bite me and hit me hard from behind."
After seeing the actions of the main force of the Fourth Fleet, Cody was a little confused. What on earth is that guy Liang Xingchen doing? Is he planning to let me bite his tail
Indeed, if Liang Xingchen bit the tail of the 10,000 battleships on the right front, the main fleet led by Cody also turned to the left and pursued the tail of the fourth fleet.
However, what Cody did not expect was that the 5,000 battleships that the Fourth Fleet initially attacked did not pursue it when they arced around behind the escaping transport ship. Instead, they continued to fly in an arc until they circled back in a big circle. Biting the tail of the main fleet led by Cody.
Then a strange scene appeared. The entire battlefield formed a circle, and a total of four fleets from both sides were chasing each other.
The 5,000 battleships of the Fourth Fleet's assault fleet were chasing the 18,000 battleships led by Cody.
The 18,000 battleships led by Cody are chasing the 10,000 battleships of Liang Xingchen's fourth fleet.
The main force of Liang Xingchen's Fourth Fleet is 10,000 warships, chasing the 10,000 warships that originally intercepted the assault fleet.
In the end, Oaks's 10,000 warships chased the 5,000 warships of the assault fleet.
The whole scene was like four snakes biting each other's tail, falling into a pure war of attrition.
"Commander, this is purely a war of attrition, and our numbers are smaller than the opponent's, which is quite disadvantageous for us!"
"I understand, let's do this for now, I have my own opinion!"
At this moment, Jiang Hai couldn't figure out why the commander wanted to engage in a war of attrition with the other party. Now he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to.
The four fleets chasing each other, no matter which one wants to withdraw, will inevitably expose its side to the enemy fleet behind it when it turns. In a space battle, what does it mean to expose the side of a fleet? It means being massacred by the enemy.
But if we simply maintain this war of attrition, although the Fourth Fleet will not lose immediately, it can last for a long time, even dozens of hours.
After all, the total number of battleships is almost half of the opponent's, and they will eventually be cannibalized by the opponent's fleet. Even if not, dozens of hours later, the Oaks Empire's follow-up fleet crosses the asteroid belt and arrives at the battlefield. The fourth fleet cannot escape the fate of total annihilation. .
"The game has been completed, now it's up to you, Lin Fan!"
Liang Xingchen spoke softly again in a voice that only he could hear.
Without the pursuit of the Fourth Fleet, the transport ship hijacked by Wood and the nearly 900 warships escorting it flew toward Jupiter unimpeded.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Fleet has been blocked by the Empire's fleet. No one can pursue us anymore."
"Well, Adams did a good job this time! You are also very good. What reward do you want?"
"Your Highness, if possible, I want this woman!"
With that said, Wood pointed to Liang Xue, who was tied up and still beside him.
"This woman? Okay, I'll give it to you in my decision!"
Duolun glanced at Liang Xue twice and agreed without thinking. After all, the appearance of humans is seriously inconsistent with the aesthetics of Oaks people.
I even despised Wood in my heart for wasting His Highness's promise of reward and only wanted this ugly female creature.
And Wood did look at Liang Xue with a proud look on his face. Speaking of it, he lusted after Liang Xue for more than a day or two, but he just endured it for the mission.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Liang Xue looked at Wood with murderous eyes.
But the more Liang Xue acted like this, the more she seemed to satisfy Wood's perverted psychology, and the smile on her face became even more evil!
