Him and their stars

The battlecruiser Somin and its thirteen warships were responsible for the rearguard. Less than half an hour after the sublight-speed missile group from the Hyperion hit the array of the Mettig fleet, the fleet responsible for the rearguard put on a posture like a dead soldier and rushed directly towards the Hyperion. It didn't seem like they were breaking through or covering the rear, but clearly charging.

Faced with such a fierce enemy, the Yang fleet had to send them off with admiration. Even the new fighter planes flying out from the Enterprise changed their target of concentrated fire.

There was no way, the state of the Somin was too crazy. During the charge, the frequency of continuous firing exceeded the safety limit of the main gun. More importantly, perhaps because these imperial soldiers were mentally prepared to die, they gave themselves a layer of buff, and the hit rate of the artillery fire was inexplicably increased.

In this case, even Yang Xiyi could only order the target of attack to be shifted.

Of course, it is worth being proud of that even though the Yang Fleet had made plans to ambush and annihilate the enemy fleet, it always maintained a three-point margin during the attack, leaving enough firing range for the bow guns of almost all the main battleships.

Compared with the madness of the Suomin, the Yang Fleet's bombardment was equally fierce, but it seemed very methodical and layered. The continuous barrage was like a breathtaking rainstorm, and even the wind was suppressed so that it could not move forward half a step.

The imperial warships led by the Suomin were immediately ignited one by one.

It is worth being proud of that the intensive bombardment of the Yang Fleet did have a perfect denial effect. Unfortunately, in order to ensure the effect of the bombardment, their forward speed naturally slowed down.

On the other hand, the main force of the Mettig Fleet did not forget to leave some souvenirs for this universe during the retreat. During the process of the fleet turning, the three Sky-class heavy cruisers that were originally on the left wing naturally moved to the end of the team. While escaping at a charging speed, they dropped thousands of powerful antimatter mines into the deep space.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being the most perfect cruiser, and even the tactical action of dropping mines is full of professionalism.

The timing and direction of their mine laying are very clever, just opening up as if forming a network. The mines detonated by remote control opened a fierce explosion isolation belt in the void, forcing the Eleanor fleet that was carrying out the outflanking mission to re-modify the cruise orbit.

When the battlecruiser Somin and her friends were turned into dust in the concentrated fire of the Yang fleet, the main force of the Mettig fleet had already gone far away.

However, even at this time, the Eleanor Bonaparte, which was all high-speed warships, did not completely lose the room for pursuit. Even if her ship couldn't do it, the White Devil Squadron that had already taken off from the Saratoga could do it - they had already replaced the X33 fighters, and they were all very motivated, eager to kill one or two large ships of the Empire to sacrifice for the new fighters.

However, after a brief hesitation, Eleanor Bonaparte finally gave up this tempting possibility: "Let the fighters return. In addition, ask the Hyperion for our next instructions."

She got a response less than half a minute later. The headquarters instructed that after the Eleanor fleet assembled, it would immediately retreat from the direction of the No. 3 gravity well of this system without waiting for the main team to join.

Is this a temporary modification of the strategic plan? According to the original plan, if everyone can successfully annihilate the enemy Mettig fleet, Eleanor and Yang Xiyi will also split their forces.

The Eleanor squadron, composed entirely of fast battleships, will cross the Dawn Highway waterway to monitor possible movements of the Imperial Army in the direction of Unity Pass. Yang Xiyi's fleet will turn to Yaochi again, and maybe find an opportunity to sneak attack the Miracle Ring and take advantage of it.

But it is obvious that Yang Xiyi has changed his mind. He should be preparing to disperse everyone and move to the secret base operated by Major General Orwell and Colonel Michel.

If Yang Xiyi's prestige in this fleet is not almost equal to the spirit of the universe, perhaps his subordinates will have muttered something strange like "The commander is too particular about safety first".

But in fact, less than twelve hours after Elinu and Yang Xiyi evacuated the galaxy, the unmanned deep space probe that remained in place captured a new mass signal. It was another empire fleet, which should be the same size as the Mettig fleet.

After receiving the signal, Akina Yamahata and the staff department spent five minutes analyzing it, and it was basically confirmed that it was Major General Haslon's fleet.

Now, leaving aside the various Imperial Army that can serve as cannon fodder and spies, there should be about eight Imperial fleets that are playing hide-and-seek with the Yang Fleet in the Dawn Star Region, led by three lieutenant generals and five major generals, all of whom are experienced veterans. Mettig, who was ambushed just now, and Haslon, who just arrived, are among them.

In order not to be defeated one by one, the total force and combat capability of each fleet are above the Yang Fleet, so there will be no problems in the future. Of course, this is all understood by the Imperials at the cost of blood.

Of course, this was before the Yang Fleet received reinforcements and supplies through the Tower of Babel.

Of course, the Haslon Fleet saw the wreckage of the Mettig Fleet at the first time, and moved immediately without staying in the original place. It was obvious that it was going to join forces with friendly forces.

"If Mettig does not leave, the village will take the initiative to defend and hold on until the reinforcements of the Haslon Department arrive. It is still unknown who will win." Akinayama Hachiman pondered.

Yang Xiyi said: "Then, I will be happy to have another big meal. Twelve hours is enough to create a time difference. Obviously, Major General Mettig should have realized at the first time that we got reinforcements and battleships. He probably felt that this intelligence was more important than the battle itself."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Although this general is not well-known, he can entangle with us for so long. At the critical moment, he also has rational judgment and determination to cut off his arm. He is indeed a famous general! No wonder Yu Lian thinks so much of him. There are several generals of the Imperial Fleet who play hide-and-seek with me, but he is the only one who is specifically mentioned by name."

Yang Xiyi is a gentleman, and of course he is not stingy with praising the enemy. However, although his words sound like praising the enemy, they are more like boasting about himself.

So, after praising him, he sighed again: "Really, if only the enemy generals in the New World were the self-righteous fools that Yu Lian encountered in Xuemen and Saide."

This statement not only seemed to be boasting about himself, but also seemed to be a satire on Yu Lian.

If it is the logic of office politics, there must be people with dark minds who will think that there must be contradictions between the two commanders Yang and Yu.

Fortunately, people with dark minds will not live long in the atmosphere of Yang Fleet. Since you have the energy, you should think about the practical combat problems.

So, Major General Ducas, who had just joined the fleet, asked worriedly: "But, our original plan was to completely annihilate the Mettig fleet, right? But he still escaped, and he found the reinforcements. Soon, Marshal Farrell of the Miracle Ring will know about it, right?"

"Your concerns are of course the reason for our concerns." Yang Xiyi looked as if this was also part of the plan: "But, the reinforcements will be exposed sooner or later. The generals of the empire, even if everyone is as thick-skinned as the big cats in the blood gate battle, will sooner or later realize the problem."

Major General Ducas was slightly startled, and then showed a horrified expression: "You mean, Babel Tower will be exposed? But, this..."

"If all impossibilities are eliminated, no matter how incredible the matter is, it may be the truth." Akinayama Hachiman pushed his glasses.

"Besides, in a galaxy full of Enlightened relics, what does the appearance of one or two Enlightened Star Gates mean? Fortunately, the sky curtain of the star gate is controlled by us, and the law of opening and closing... well, at least we have begun to study it. Last time, Professor Zinov said that he had mastered the theoretical law?" Yang Xiyi said.

The theoretical laws discussed by theoretical physicists are about as reliable as the financial bloggers' discussions on finance. However, everyone has forgotten this, or rather, they don't want to think about it.

Akinayama Hachiman asked without hesitation: "So, if the Imperial Fleet guessed this, their main force would definitely come here in full force. In order to find the existence of the star gate?"

Yang Xiyi looked at his adjutant and praised: "Lieutenant Colonel Akinayama, Yu Lian also said that you are most suitable to be the Chief of Staff. Now it seems that it is true!"

This should be another compliment to himself, right? Akinayama Hachiman pushed his glasses expressionlessly.

"So, in such a short time, you have formulated a new tactic and made Babel your bait?"

"When playing hide-and-seek with an enemy with superior strength, you can only do everything you can. At the critical moment, anything can be used as bait, and I am no exception." Yang Xiyi said with regret.

Major General Ducas had to continue to be shocked. He now felt that Yang Xiyi was a wise general who used the brain-based tactics, but now it seemed that he was a madman who used the crazy gambling style.

Of course, he was even more shocked by what the two had just said. According to Akina Yamahata, Yang Xiyi quickly formulated a new combat strategy after discovering that he could not completely annihilate the Mettig fleet?

As for whether Babel was used as bait or not, I always felt that this guy was deliberately planning it.

Of course, as a veteran born in New Shenzhou, he dared not express any dissatisfaction. He only hoped that the sky curtain on the Babel Tower could really play the desired effect and could hide for a long enough time under the empire's search of mountains and seas.

At this time, he heard Akinayama Hachiman analyze again: "However, if we want to attract the enemy's main force to the vicinity, there will inevitably be gaps in the other routes of the Dawn Star Region. Therefore, the next step of the commander is actually to..."

"Hide and seek is not a strategic goal, and the purpose of guerrilla warfare is not to swim, but to attack. We were not strong enough before, but now that we have received reinforcements, we must be a little more dedicated." At this point, his expression was still not very happy, like a face like a social animal who received a hard job.

"I see, so you are really deliberate!" It was not Akinayama who said this, but Major General Ducas, who looked enlightened.

Of course, after he found out that he had spoken out of turn, he wanted to swallow a gun and commit suicide.

"You're right. When I had the Tower of Babel, I was thinking about how to use it. Even if there was no encirclement and annihilation campaign, I would have done the same." Yang Xiyi said frankly.

Major General Ducas quickly stood at attention and said, "So, sir, our next step is to launch a surprise attack on the Miracle Ring?"

Overall, there is still four to five points of sincerity in this statement. As a former officer of the local police fleet, he really never thought that one day he would also fight in the New World. But since you’ve already come, it would be a pity not to check in at the Circle of Miracles.

"If there is a chance... I will." As a gentleman with high emotional intelligence, Yang Xiyi will certainly not let the old general down completely, but he still said: "But, you should also know that even if we can deal with the miracle, Even if we cause some damage to the main force of the enemy fleet, it will not affect the overall situation. Moreover, we have no prerequisites for recovering the Ring of Miracles.”

In fact, in Yang Xiyi's view, the explosion on the 1427th plate of the Miracle Ring was not a signal sent by Major General Mallowan to everyone.

There are very few own fighters left in the Circle of Miracles who are still resisting. Their goal is to persist for a longer period of time, and they can still create big news and attract the attention of the empire.

In this case, there is no need for friendly forces to come and take risks to rescue you.

Of course, Major General Ducasse did not have any disappointed expression, and even looked a little moved and determined: "I understand. In fact...Sir Yang, although I am a common man with very shallow eyes, I am not a fool. I am not a fool." Understand that you and Chief Yu are actually the same kind of people, and our wisdom and strategies are as vast and far-reaching as the sea of ​​stars. I will never be able to follow your thinking in this life, but you only need to treat me as a useful tool. That’s enough!”

Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and felt that he had learned a lot again. He thought to himself, who said that the guard fleet in remote star areas does not have talents?

Yang Xiyi nodded. Now that everyone has unified their thinking, they can move on to the next step.

He pondered for a moment and then began to give the order: "Inform Eleanor Bonaparte's fleet that, under the premise of ensuring safety, they must rush to Watheim to join Major General Orwell before March 10th. "

There are still more than 10,000 pioneers and more than 5,000 marines farming in the underground caves of the planet Wertheim. They should also know the existence of the Tower of Babel so that they can persist for a long time.

In addition, the cabin of the battlecruiser Fafnir contains some special equipment and 10,000 tons of special cold-resistant grains, which are also very useful for the construction of underground cave bases.

"Then, before June, go to the vicinity of the Eunotia galaxy and meet with our troops."

Of course, this is on the premise of ensuring the safety of the entire fleet. However, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing all the time, Eleanor Bonaparte should know it well.

Akinayama Hachiman, who had been building and fighting in the Onotia galaxy for more than half a year, just glanced at Yang Xiyi through his glasses, but continued to record without stopping in his hands.

Major General Ducasse began to subconsciously open the star map. After all, he is still a "newcomer" and is not too familiar with geographical coordinates. However, when he found Onotia's location, he couldn't help but exclaimed on the spot:

"This, this galaxy? It's very close to the Unity Fortress!"

"Actually, it's a week's journey. Moreover, there is no Unity Fortress in the Dawn Pass Galaxy. However, this is still an important pass in the Dawn Star Territory." Akinayama Hachiman said while sorting out the orders: "We have not recovered the Miracle. Even with the power of Huan, it is impossible to regain Dawn Pass.”

"I have no such plan. If I hadn't blown up the Unity Fortress at once, we could still discuss it, but now..." Yang Xiyi seemed to regret it.
