Oaks' 90,000 battleships, under Adams's order, quickly rushed towards the human fleet in front of them.
"Commander Adams, 10,000 warships in the human fleet are retreating, and the remaining 5,000 warships are in a defensive formation, seeming to want to cut off the rear!"
"Well, our warships are faster than humans. Let the fleet destroy the human fleet in front of us as quickly as possible, and then pursue the 10,000 warships that escaped!"
"yes!"
At this time, Adams thought that his guess was correct. It was indeed a coincidence. It seemed that Liang Xingchen's luck had also been exhausted.
In this case, let's destroy humanity's last resistance in one fell swoop!
Therefore, Adams directly ordered all the battleships to be crushed together, and with the absolute difference in numbers, they directly tore apart the opponent's rear fleet from the front.
The distance between the two sides is getting shorter and shorter, and they are about to enter the range of fire.
"Commander, a human fleet appears on the left side of our fleet, numbering about 10,000 ships!"
"Commander, a human fleet also appeared on the right side of our fleet, numbering about 10,000 ships!"
"Commander, the 10,000 battleships that humans retreated have turned back again!"
Listening to the report from his men, Adams was confused for a moment. What is going on? That adds up to 35,000 battleships!
Could it be that humans have been hiding their strength just for this moment
Adams looked at the tactical board. In front of his fleet, there were 15,000 human fleets, and there were 10,000 warships on the left and right sides. They were all approaching his position. Soon they would enter the crossfire circle from three directions. .
No matter how you look at it, this situation is quite bad.
"Quick, before they enter the local fire range, immediately turn all the warships 180 degrees, and then move forward at full speed to escape the human encirclement!"
A few minutes later, before being brought into range by humans, the Third Guards Corps completed its turn and fled at full speed.
However, you must know that not every type of warship has the same speed. When escaping at full speed, the formation of the entire fleet will be chaotic, which is slightly better than a rout.
Adams didn't care about this. As long as he got out of this three-sided encirclement, he could reorganize the fleet's formation, and it wouldn't be a big problem.
However, the accident happened again.
"Commander, a human fleet appeared on the left front of our fleet, numbering about 10,000!"
"Commander, a human fleet has also appeared on the right front of our fleet, numbering about 10,000!"
"What? This is impossible! How can humans come up with so many fleets? Adding in the previous ones, there are already 55,000 warships."
"Commander, the human fleets appearing on the left and right front have launched crossfire on the front of our fleet!"
"Ignore the casualties, continue to move forward in a straight line, and rush out first!"
Looking at the 35,000 warships approaching from the left, right and rear on the tactical board, Adams gritted his teeth and ordered.
You can't stop at this time. If you stop, you will be finished. Once you are bitten by the three fleets on the left, right and behind, you will have to face crossfire from a total of 55,000 warships from five directions.
In that case, the Third Guards Corps would definitely be wiped out. It would be better to lose 30,000 to 40,000 warships and rush out first.
If it were normal times, Adams would definitely be keenly aware that the firepower on the left and right fronts was obviously weaker than the strength that 10,000 battleships should have exerted, not even half of it.
However, Dolan's death and the sudden appearance of 55,000 human warships completely disturbed his heart, making him unable to calmly judge the details on the battlefield.
In this way, 90,000 warships stared at the crossfire from two directions, and quickly fled towards the vacant position in the center in a scattered formation.
At this time, Lin Fan was maintaining communication with Liang Xingchen inside the Ouranos flagship.
"I admire you a little now. You used mechas to disguise nearly 50,000 battleships. Adams was also upset, otherwise it would be difficult to deceive him."
"Well, Duolun's death and the unexpected number of warships suddenly appeared in front of him. Taken together, I don't believe that he is calm. Psychological warfare is also an important part of war!"
"But there are still too many warships in the Ox Empire. It is not realistic to completely annihilate them all!"
"Commander, we don't need to completely annihilate him, we just need to kill a large number of his active forces and scare him back to Jupiter."
"Well, you are right. As long as we can kill half of his fleet this time, our goal will be achieved!"
"Commander, it's time for your performance soon!"
"Well, I will take action when half of Adams' fleet passes your ambush point."
"Hey, there are still too few battleships. If there are 10,000 more battleships, we can definitely keep them all!"
"Okay, the past few years have not been easy for the Federation. They can only build more than 2,000 warships every year. But now with your industrial robots, it is no longer a problem to build 10,000 warships every year. It will get better in the future. Let's fight now. Let’s have a good fight!”
"Yes, Commander!"
While the two were talking, Adams was feeling extremely uncomfortable!
"Commander Adams, 1/3 of the fleet has passed through his crossfire network!"
"How many casualties are there so far?"
"About 7,000 battleships were lost!"
Adams's heart was bleeding. 7,000 warships were just gone, and even the main ship guns of the entire fleet did not fire a single shot!
After all, in order to attack the opponent, you must turn, because the main ship gun cannot rotate 360 degrees and can be fine-tuned within a range of 15 degrees at most.
This is also the reason why warships must face the enemy ship head-on when attacking.
But in the current situation, the two fleets in front of him on the left and right were engaging in crossfire. He could only quickly pass between them and then distance himself.
If you turn to attack any of the fleets, your warships will inevitably slow down. Once they slow down, the 35,000 warships chasing behind them will bite them directly. At that time, they will not be able to escape even if they want to.
Therefore, now Adams can only evacuate quickly while using the secondary naval gun to fight back.
Ten minutes later, 2/3 of the fleet had passed through the crossfire net.
"How is the battle damage now?"
"Report to the commander, approximately 15,000 warships have been lost so far!"
Well, 15,000, which is much better than I expected.
Adams had originally planned to lose 30,000 to 40,000 battleships to pass through the fire net, so he should have lost 20,000 to 30,000 now. However, his subordinates actually reported a loss of only 15,000, and Adams was also very surprised.
If the losses were so small, perhaps after breaking away from the encirclement and gaining distance, they could regroup the fleet and turn to another decisive battle. After all, they still had more fleets than humans.
But why is the loss so small? A firepower network composed of 20,000 warships, it took so long to kill 15,000 of our own warships
But before Adams could think about the reason, the change happened again.
"Commander Adams, another human fleet appears directly in front of our fleet, numbering about 5,000, and has deployed a thickened array. It seems to want to block us!"
