Chapter 85 Chapter 5 Making things worse

When the Tenth Combined Fleet reached the bottom of the double V and was about to move to the flanks, the flagship radar officer suddenly shouted in panic: "Enemy attack! Straight ahead..." He couldn't continue shouting the rest, because the hundreds of thousands of laser beams fired from the dark abyss of the universe had already hit his face. These 70,000 federal warships were hit head-on, and four-fifths of their troops were instantly destroyed. Also, because the front of the battleship faces the laser beam, it is less likely to explode after being shot, while the jets are facing people, and the other fleets in the double V formation are even more miserable. It can be said that their backs are facing the enemy. And they lined up and were beaten like idiots.

Almost randomly, if a laser beam hits the nozzle, it will explode immediately. Therefore, the other four fleets lost one-tenth of their troops because of this sneering trick. The rear formation of the Federation Fleet, which suffered heavy losses, immediately began to become chaotic. Seeing this scene, the commander of the 200,000 Reis Army chasing all the way couldn't help but shouted happily: "The enemy's command system has been destroyed! Give me a surprise attack." Following the commander's order, the 200,000 Reis troops immediately formed an assault formation and attacked the two federal troops that had changed from a V-shape to a U-shape.

The twelve federal commanders, who were startled by the bombardment of the rear army at first, immediately issued the same order when they saw the enemy approaching: "The undamaged warships immediately return to formation! All artillery is aimed at the front of the enemy army and fire!" With the sound of firing, the federal warships that had not suffered any losses immediately began to move while firing at the enemy's conical spire, and a new W formation slowly appeared in front of the enemy. The commander hiding behind the Lacey army saw that the conical spire of the self-army formation was smoothed out, and he couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Why are they still organized? Isn't their command system destroyed?"

What the commanders of the Reis army could not have imagined was that these young commanders did not place their flagships in the middle or at the end of the fleet according to the usual practice. At the end. When the fierce battle started ahead, the three commanders of the Tenth United Fleet, who were already in tears, wiped away their tears, and took the surviving subordinates to rescue the damaged warships. They originally followed the young men's motto of charging ahead and retreating behind, and serving as cover troops behind, but they didn't expect that they, who had already made sacrifices, survived because of this.

When the warships of the two sides are at the same level, the only way to determine the winner is the combination of formation, command ability, and troop strength. Calculated according to this standard, the Lacey army could not catch up with the federal army in all aspects, and the defeat was certain. However, when the federal army beat the rebels in front of them into chaos, the laser beam just fired In the direction, a densely packed Lacey army suddenly appeared. The appearance of the Lacey Army did not come as a surprise to the Federal Army. They had already realized it, because since there was a long-range laser beam attack, of course a large number of warships had arrived.

When the Federal Army attacked the Lacey Army just now and began to gain the upper hand, it had already slowly turned around the warships behind to be alert, so as soon as the new Lacey Army appeared, the Federal Army immediately greeted them with hundreds of thousands of laser beams. them. This group of troops numbered about 300,000 warships, and the Leisi army, which was advancing rapidly, was immediately stunned by the hundreds of thousands of rounds. Seeing the enemy ships start to explode, the officers and soldiers of the Federal Army couldn't help cheering, but their cheers stopped soon, because they found from the screen that among the pile of attacked enemy ships, the exploding warships There were only a few ships, and the others continued to pounce on themselves as if nothing had happened.

"Oops! The opponent's warship is more advanced than ours!" A well-informed radar officer immediately shouted in panic. "Don't panic, even if their warships are higher than ours, they are only a small part, and our army is three times stronger than the opponent! Attack me!" The three commanders of the Tenth Fleet, who were temporarily serving as the commanders of the rear formation, saw that the soldiers were a little panicked, and hurriedly said this to the entire rear formation. The soldiers thought about it, and that's right, the entire Leisi army only has 100,000 ordinary warships, and the remaining 800,000 are low-level warships like themselves, and there are millions of low-level warships on their side. An ordinary warship worth 100,000 would definitely be able to win.

After thinking of these, the soldiers' morale was boosted and they began to launch a fierce counterattack. The federal commanders who were fighting in the front saw that the rear was short of troops, and immediately prepared to send a fleet back to support, but as soon as this proposal was put forward, they immediately became chaotic, because the commanders felt that the enemies in front only needed to leave two fleets It can be solved, and the 300,000 army behind is the key point.Anyway, it's a sentence: Everyone wants to take a few bites of fresh bones. After discussion, these commanders decided to send the Eighth and Ninth Combined Fleets to the rear for reinforcements, and the Sixth and Seventh Combined Fleets continued to attack the enemy directly ahead.

The commanders of the two formations of the Lacey Army were not idiots. Seeing that the thick enemy array in the front began to thin, while the rear began to thicken, they immediately understood the intention of the Federal Army. The two commanders of the Lacey Army seemed to have a tacit understanding. When the federal army started to move, they opened their mouths and ordered at the same time: "All the army assault! Squeeze into the enemy's camp! Disrupt their formation!" Following the command of the chief, the Reis army's fearless engines were fully fired, and they rushed towards the federal army.

Feeling the enemy's fierce attack, the commanders of the Federation were not idiots, and immediately understood the enemy's intentions, so they hurriedly ordered: "Block the attack! While resisting, shrink and move into a ball formation!" At this time, looking from the sky above the universe, we can see that the Federation is under fierce attack from the front and rear of the enemy, and the W formation can no longer be maintained, but the Federation Army has not been squeezed into its own formation by the enemy, and began to resist tenaciously while slowly Retract the outstretched wings.

Soon, an all-round defensive spherical formation appeared in front of the Lace army. The two formations of the Reis army attacking front and back also changed their formation at this moment. The two sides of the two formations were connected together to form a wide ring formation to surround the federal army. Although the federal army was forced to form a defensive formation and lost many warships in the battle just now, it still had an advantage compared to the strength of the Leisi army in front of them. Although the federal commander wanted to organize a breakout before being surrounded, the quality of the federal soldiers did not allow them to do so. Most of the federal army are recruits who have never been on the battlefield. In ordinary battle situations, these soldiers can still fight under the command of the commander, and at the same time, they can carry out surprise attacks with excitement.But when the battle became fierce and complicated, the excitement of these recruits disappeared, and a sense of panic began to appear. When the battleships returned to defense, many warships collided with each other due to the nervousness of the pilots and sank. Now that the panic among the recruits has not calmed down, it is not a good time to attack. The Lacey Army was also weak in strength, and the recruits on its side also appeared in the same situation as the federal recruits, so the Lacey Army did not plan to make a surprise attack. The two sides just circled around and bombarded each other non-stop.Although hundreds of warships on both sides were killed every time the laser beam was shot, compared with the violent attack just now, this level of damage is just scratches on the skin. The Muli galaxy is close to the border of the Deira galaxy, and a battleship group with a number of nearly 100,000 is quietly moored here. In the flagship of the battleship group, Li Tao silently watched the image on the screen, and this image was the live projection of the battle between the Federal Army and the Lacey Army in the Deira galaxy. Tang Tres, who was gearing up at the side at the moment, said excitedly: "Your Excellency Commander, it's time to act?" Li Tao showed a weird smile, nodded and said, "Go out." As Li Tao's quiet words fell, the 100,000 warships immediately boiled up, and all the standby engines immediately started running at high speed. The tails of one hundred thousand battleships spewed flames at the same time, and quickly crossed the boundary of the galaxy and entered the Deira galaxy. The federal commanders who were directing the battle inside the sphere while rectifying their morale and preparing to break through, although they had already discovered from the radar that a fleet of 100,000 troops was approaching this way not far away, but because they thought the enemy would With an increase of 100,000, excluding the defeated enemy ships, the enemy is only about 400,000 now, while our own Federation warships have about 800,000 left, so there is no need to worry at all. Moreover, according to intelligence, the total strength of the rebels is only about 900,000. Now there are 400,000 in the Sven galaxy, and 500,000 from the Deira galaxy. Now the rebels have sent out the last bit of troops. Defeat them and head straight for the rebel capital! Thinking of this, the commanders immediately excitedly gave orders to their subordinates to prepare for an assault, but at this moment, they suddenly found that the Lace army in the outer circle stopped detouring, and a passage was opened. "Oops!" Just when this word came into the minds of the commanders, the fleet of 100,000 warships led by Li Tao, like an enraged wasp, rushed towards the spherical formation of the federal army. At the beginning, the shooters of the Federation warships attacked calmly as before, but they soon discovered in panic that the laser beams they fired could not cause any damage to the enemy ship, and a random laser beam fired by the enemy ship would just kill the enemy ship. The defense force of one's own battleship can be greatly reduced, and it will collapse soon. The battleship that loses the defense force is simply dead! The pilots who saw this panicked first, they didn't want to be bombarded to death!So it began to be out of control, conditioned to drive the warship to avoid the laser beam of the enemy ship. The warships under attack began to panic, causing cracks to appear in the dense spherical formation, and these one hundred thousand enemy ships seized this great opportunity, stepped up their efforts to tear open the cracks and squeezed in. Although the federal army that had been torn open was desperately preparing to mend the wound, these rebel warships serving as sharp blades were all higher-level than their own warships, and they watched helplessly as the tear became bigger and bigger. The commander of the United Fleet, who was in charge of commanding in other areas, found that the enemies on his side began to flock to the other end to concentrate, and was busy watching the entire battle image. The commander made the inevitable mistake. Due to time constraints, the commanders issued orders directly without discussion. Some commanders ordered the fleet to defend firmly; some commanders ordered to pursue the moving enemy ships; The captain of the battleship who received various orders at the same time acted according to the orders of his own direct-controlled commander without even thinking about it. In other words, each battleship of the joint fleet was divided into three parts to act according to the organizational structure of the original single fleet. up. If these combined fleets are not gathered together, at most one combined fleet will be divided into three parts, each fighting on its own. But now all the combined fleets are crowded together, and the warships of the same fleet are almost scattered everywhere, one in the east and one in the west; when the captains act independently according to the order, some of the fleets in the dense spherical formation go out. Assault, some stayed where they were, and some squeezed in. In just a moment, the entire formation became chaotic. If viewed from the top of the universe, the Federal Army is like a mouse wrapped in a round sack, constantly scurrying around, while the Reis Army, which was originally surrounded by the sphere, is like a swarm of wasps suddenly discovering that the original densely packed As if a piece of white and tender skin was exposed on the solid, helpless enemy, they moved to this place one after another, and then ruthlessly pierced towards this place. The sphere of the Federal Army was quickly split in half by a sharp knife that continued to increase in length, and then the Reis army spread out in the center of the sphere, quickly tearing the two hemispheres apart. At this point, the chaotic federal army could only be chased and beaten by the Leisi army who was chasing after the victory. In the end, some federal soldiers who had realized that they could not survive began to lose their minds and use battleships instead of artillery to hit the Lacey Army. Brought into the distorted space, into the black hole world that no one knows. The mad dog-like counterattack of the federal army shocked the Leisi army, thinking that he had already won, why bother to fight these madmen?Therefore, the Leisi army began to quickly retreat and gather so that the artillery could exert its power. Seeing this scene, the commander of the federal army, who had been supporting them painstakingly, of course would not miss this opportunity and immediately ordered a retreat. With the full cooperation of these remaining commanders, the Federal Army began an orderly retreat. But how could the Leisi army just give up the delicious food that he had already swallowed?Of course it is immediately pursued. No matter how powerful the federal commander is, he cannot control his subordinates from retreating at this moment. The commanders of the federal army, who had realized that there was no future, all drew out their guns and pointed them at their heads, ready to apologize to the comrades who died. But at this moment, the Lacey Army, which was crazily massacring the Federal Army, suddenly stopped, and then turned around and ran away as if their butts were on fire. galaxy. According to statistics afterwards, the Federal Army lost more than 850,000 warships in this battle alone. The remaining warships were all scarred, and none of them were intact. Of the fifteen fleet commanders who had just been promoted to lieutenant generals before the battle, only four remained after the war, and of the sixty generals who had just been promoted from colonel to major general before the war, only eleven remained after the war. The federal army suffered more than 257 million casualties in this battle, of which more than 20 million were missing, but being missing in a space war is tantamount to death. Compared with the federal army, the casualties of the Reis army can be said to be slight. None of the generals of the Leisi Army were killed in the battle, and more than 200,000 warships were lost, with more than 60 million casualties. So far, this battle that has been going on for more than 20 hours in the Deira galaxy, and the enemy and us dispatched a total of 1.6 million warships, has ended inexplicably like this... After hearing what had happened, Kamukki, who had collapsed on the ground, could only stare blankly at the front, and murmured, "It's over, it's over, everything's over..." Seeing the officer like this, the intelligence officer hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Sir, although our Della Front Army has failed, the Sven Front Army has achieved great success. The First Combined Fleet led by Lieutenant General Wei Fei not only destroyed all the rebels in the Sven Galaxy, Moreover, it has also invaded the rebel army's Wooden Plow galaxy, and is approaching the rebel army's capital, House Star!" Hearing this, Kamucci immediately jumped up in high spirits, stared at the intelligence officer and asked, "Did the First Combined Fleet defeat all the rebels in the Sven galaxy?" The intelligence officer corrected and said: "Sir, it is not defeat, but destruction. There is no longer any organized rebel army in the Sven galaxy." Of course, he dare not say that there is still a rebel army that led the two combined fleets out of the Sven galaxy, but according to the latest secret report he obtained, when the first combined fleet approached the capital of the rebel army, House Star, this rebel army He has already dropped the two joint fleets chasing him and ran back to the Wood Plow galaxy. In this way, even if I concealed the situation of the only rebel army that was not wiped out by the First United Fleet, I believe no one would pursue it. Kamucci nodded with his eyes shining, and asked again: "Has the First Combined Fleet approached the rebel capital?" The intelligence officer nodded sharply, and said affirmatively: "Yes, the First Combined Fleet has entered the alert range of the rebel capital and is destroying the air defense bases of nearby planets. I believe it will capture the rebel capital soon!" "Okay, okay! Hahaha, that's really great! Wei Fei is worthy of being an elite of the Young Men faction, worthy of me choosing him as the commander of the First Fleet, and worthy of my special allocation of 10,000 high-level warships! Okay, Order the entire army, reward the First Combined Fleet, and promote Wei Fei to the rank of general of the Federation Army! Tell Wei Fei to take the capital of the rebel army as soon as possible, and end this Federation civil war as soon as possible!" After issuing these orders, Kamucci felt better immediately. Although millions of warships were destroyed, the capital of the rebel army was about to be captured. As long as there was a medal to end the civil war and unify the Federation, it would be destroyed. Millions of warships are nothing at all! Kamucci, who felt his throat was a little dry due to excessive tension, poured himself a glass of wine, swirled the glass, and put the glass to his lips, ready to taste the wine that represented the imminent victory. Just as Kamucci's tongue smelled of wine, a sudden siren sounded in the command room. And when Kamucci was still drinking in a daze, unable to figure out what was going on, an intelligence officer ran over in a panic and shouted: "No, sir! The Silver Eagle Empire... The Silver Eagle Empire has invaded! It has already occupied galaxy!" "Kuang lang." With a sound, the wine glass in Kanmucci's hand fell to the ground, and the ground was immediately stained with a bright and dazzling blood red. Ten minutes ago, on the flagship of a certain patrol team patrolling the border of the Bone Cloud Dragon galaxy, the captain of the lieutenant colonel sitting in the command chair was chatting with the major's girlfriend in the distant communication station using a confidential channel. The female major said worriedly: "Be careful when patrolling the border. According to intelligence, the Silver Eagle Empire has a border guard fleet of 50,000 troops." The lieutenant colonel said carelessly: "Don't worry, the security force of the Silver Eagle Empire will never cross the border at all, and will only circle back and forth in their territory." The female major asked puzzledly: "Why are you so sure? Didn't the Silver Eagle Empire have a fleet invade last time? Can you guarantee that they will not invade again this time?" "Hehe, didn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explain it? The last time it invaded was one of the Imperial Guards of the Seven Great Emperors of the Silver Eagle Empire. The commanders were all princes and nobles. Of course they dared to rush in here and there. And the one on the opposite side of us Those Silver Eagle Empire security forces, how can they have the courage of those princes and nobles, if they dare to rush in, they will be executed immediately!" The lieutenant colonel said proudly. "It's better to be careful. There is a civil war in the country, and pirates are rampant. If another strong enemy invades from outside, our Federation will really be over." The female major sighed. "Okay, I'll pay attention. Well, to be honest, I really don't understand what the higher-ups mean. Why did you tell us northern soldiers to come to the east to garrison? The garrison will be garrisoned. There is no deadline set yet, so leave home I miss you so much." The lieutenant colonel sighed. "Didn't the superiors say that we would be sent back as soon as the civil war was over? Why didn't they set a deadline?" the female major asked in confusion. "Hey, who is our immediate boss? It's the King of the North. Do you think he will let go now that he has taken over the Bone Cloud Dragon Galaxy?" the lieutenant colonel asked back. The female major frowned: "How to put it so harshly, it seems that our Federation is divided by warlords." The lieutenant colonel curled his lips and said, "That's what it is, let me tell you, our Federation..." When the lieutenant colonel said this, he suddenly looked up and looked into the distance, and then said nervously: "It seems that there is something wrong, I won't be with you anymore..." As soon as the lieutenant colonel had said this, the video suddenly stopped, causing the female major to keep calling out in a panic. Soon, the female major immediately knew why the video was suddenly interrupted, because the Federation's fleet patrolling the border was completely destroyed by the Silver Eagle Empire. The Silver Eagle Empire took advantage of the civil war and pirates in the Wanluo Federation, suddenly went to war without declaring it, and invaded the Wanluo Federation on a large scale. The Third and Fourth Fleets of the Praetorian Guard led by Darrens and Kester followed far behind the main force, leisurely and leisurely entering the territory of the Federation. Kester, who abandoned his post and went to drink on Darrens' flagship, couldn't help laughing when he saw the wreckage of the destroyed federal warships: "The federal army is really stupid. When they found out that we had invaded, they didn't run away, but instead generated electricity in a daze. Warning, huh, this is how it ended up.” Darrens said nonchalantly: "They all look like this, not because we had a mission last time, the two of us alone can swallow this Bone Cloud Dragon galaxy." "Hehe, speaking of this, the Imperial Army should give us another medal. If we don't have the information we got back, how can we quietly wipe out the security points around the border?" Kester laughed. "Don't think about it, didn't we get promoted by one level when we went back? And we were also promoted to Viscount, what more do you want?" Darrens also laughed. After taking a sip of his wine, Kester said indifferently: "I said that those two old men are already so old, why do they still serve as the chief and deputy commander in person? Could it be that they can't trust us?" Darrens smiled and said, "What? You want to be the commander-in-chief? Don't dream, this time we dispatched 22 fleets, with a total force of 220,000. There are about a dozen generals with titles We are only a lieutenant general now, and the rank is so low, it is impossible to be the commander-in-chief. "And it can be said that apart from the two lords, only His Majesty the Emperor can be the commander-in-chief of this fleet, and any other person will not be able to convince the public." Kester curled his lips and muttered something, then looked around and asked, "Where is the Earl's daughter? Didn't you bring her?" Darrence shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "How dare I bring that young lady, I arranged for her to live in my manor." Kester nodded, looked at the wine glass and said, "Well, this is the best way. If we let her go back to the Earl's Mansion, I'm afraid she will be in trouble. That's right, is your manor stable? Are the protection facilities okay? " After pouring himself a glass of wine, Darrence said, "My manor is not within the scope of the imperial capital. No one knows about it. The guards are all robots." Kester was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but soon he was relieved. People from the outside don't know much about it, but people inside the empire know that it hasn't been a year or two since the empire used robots. In the beginning, the robots were made purely for testing new weapons. Later, some military officers who participated in the testing and were not very wealthy secretly took away a few robots to guard the manor for themselves. They did this to reduce the cost of hiring guards. You know, the annual salary of an ordinary guard can buy several armed robots. Speaking of this, you may feel strange, since there are a huge number of slaves in the empire, shouldn't the money to buy slaves be very expensive? Of course not expensive, some slaves can be bought for a hundred imperial coins, but be careful, this is not about looking for cheap labor, but about looking for guards!Every officer in the empire has more or less killed slaves, so he dares to let slaves be responsible for his safety?Aren't you afraid of having your throat cut by a slave while you're asleep? Therefore, robots that are obedient, strong in combat, and loyal have become the best candidates for these junior officers to choose escorts. Just because robots are cheap, available around the clock, and loyal, starting with a junior officer, almost all junior officers have several robot guards. Then, because of the robot's loyalty, middle and senior officers also slowly began to place robot guards in their bedrooms. Of course, since the robots represent a terrible past, the entire empire is unknown to anyone except the officers of the army. Seeing Kester smile, Darrence couldn't help laughing: "What? Is it strange to hear me using a robot? No way, I'm poor." Kester shook his head and said with a smile: "No, why would I be surprised, even our emperor uses robots. Hehe, to be honest, I also hide a few robots in my house." Darrens frowned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "The emperor also uses robots? Are his guards looking good?" He didn't doubt his friend's words, because he knew that his friend was different from himself. He could speak well and greet people with a smile all day long. He had many friends in the upper echelon of the empire, and he could get some gossip that others didn't know. Kester said with a smile: "Hey, I don't understand this, because the emperor doesn't trust the army controlled by the earl, nor the guards controlled by the duke, and there are no people around who believe it. "I heard that as soon as our fleet left the imperial capital of the empire, the emperor began to wantonly replace the chiefs of various departments, and even sent people to monitor near the Duke's mansion and Earl's mansion." "You didn't tell the two adults?" Darrence asked in a low voice. "What are you talking about? If they don't even know this, then they're too..." Kester stopped talking halfway, and drank a glass of wine slowly. Of course Darrence knew what Kester hadn't finished speaking, and drank the wine silently without saying a word. After a while, Kester refilled his wine and sighed: "Actually, there is no need to worry, because as long as the two adults firmly control one-third of the empire's troops and don't go back to the imperial capital alone, it will be fine." Even the emperor would not dare to do anything to them." Darrence didn't make a sound, just nodded. The 50,000 warships stationed in the Bone Cloud Dragon Galaxy immediately reported to Zhang Junlong instead of the Federation Military Department as soon as they sensed the empire's invasion. Zhang Junlong didn't show any panic when he heard the news, but asked lightly: "The Second City invaded?"How many troops are there? " "There are 220,000 warships, of which 140,000 are mid-level warships and 80,000 are high-level warships. And there are two fleets in the rear line consisting of 20,000 high-level warships. According to the serial number, one of them is The fleet that invaded our country last time. Please give me instructions!" An admiral reported with a pale face. It's no wonder that his face is so ugly, because his 50,000 warships are all mid-level warships, not only far behind the enemy in number, but also inferior to others in level.Just thinking that the other party has two fleets composed of purely high-level warships, I feel terrified. Zhang Junlong pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Withdraw all the troops to the north, that guy Kamukki, he clearly agreed that I would send troops to garrison the Bone Cloud Dragon galaxy and return the high-level warships to me, but in addition to giving the Sven Army 10,000 high-level warships, The other 50,000 high-level battleships collected from all over the Federation are gone. Let’s come back and hand over the defense line to Kamuch, and let him use the hidden high-level warships to compete with the Empire.” The admiral was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect the officer to let him withdraw. Isn't this giving away the Gu Yunlong galaxy?But over the years, he has developed the habit of obeying orders and let him do as they are ordered. Of course, he is unwilling to fight this doomed battle in his heart. If he is the supreme commander, he will definitely consider retreating immediately, and now it is best to have the retreat order from the chief, and he does not need to do anything by himself Come to take charge. Therefore, the invading imperial army just wiped out hundreds of federal patrol boats, and swallowed the entire Bone Cloud Dragon galaxy without any difficulty.
