Him and their stars

Looking at the position, it should be the Imperial fleet, fighting with the automatic turret array deployed in the formations of the two armies.

The battle was indeed fierce, but Yu Lian always felt that something was wrong.

You know, I have deployed tens of thousands of automatic turrets of various types at the front of the fortress, divided into 25 areas by sectors. If the enemy really wants to break through these artillery formations, the best effect would be achieved if all the troops are deployed together.

Or a tentative attack? Yu Lian made this judgment. However, as the supreme commander, one should not make arbitrary comments at will.

Yu Lian pondered this, but when he hurried back to the fortress headquarters, the battle was already over.

So, Yu Lian, who had just stepped off the transport boat, was stunned for several seconds before he couldn't help but said: "This is too fast. Why don't you send a cook over and teach them some kidney-tonifying medicinal meals?"

"Yes, sir, you can even send some prescriptions and ingredients. This will give you the demeanor of a famous general in ancient times. In the future, it will definitely become a grace that will be passed down to future generations." Feifei, who came over, agreed with her face.

However, she still rolled her eyes at the latter from an angle that only Yu Lian could see, and then reported: "The attack was launched by the battlecruiser Shen Goose and eleven cruisers, preparing to attack us with ultra-long-range sublight speed missiles The automatic turret array then engaged the patrol led by Brigadier General Fiennes. The enemy did not want to fight, and the artillery battle within the effective range did not last more than half an hour before it naturally broke away from the battle line. "

The combined fighting time between the two sides did not even exceed an hour.

"They are not war-loving at all, more like they are here for a fight," Feifei said.

Yu Lian nodded slightly. Yes, this is not too fast anymore, it is obviously too slow to get in.

However, even if you really don't go in at all, if you rub it too often, you will still get bald.

The war has progressed to this point. Even if you think with your toes, you can tell that the Imperial Army has retreated this time, but they will be back soon.

"Is this the situation you have been avoiding?" Feifei asked.

Yu Lian nodded: "What I don't want to see the most is for the empire on the opposite side to form a stronghold with us and end up fighting. All the previous combat purposes were to slow down the progress as much as possible. However, there will still be consequences in the end. The limit. Feifei, the longer I serve as the commander of the First Army, the more I discover this truth... A person's power has its limits after all. The power of a soldier also has its limits. "

Feifei couldn't help but her eyes lit up: "So, what do you understand? Yu'er, are you ready to surpass the soldiers?"

Yu Lian couldn't help but shuddered, wanting to observe the reactions of the people around him, but then he realized that the other person was using his words.

"The gap in national power is reflected in all aspects." Feifei said.

"It's a really dangerous topic. The more I think about it, the more it makes people anxious and confused. And my mind and energy have their limits. I can still only focus my limited energy on the things in front of me." Yu Lian Shaking his head: "Is there any news from Brigadier General Bazin?"

Feifei shook her head.

Yu Lian suddenly became a little worried.

The last time he received news about Commodore Bazin's attack fleet was more than forty days ago.

According to the report on that call, if everything goes well, their fleet should have penetrated into the Hubo sector on the border of the empire. However, judging from the information currently available, the empire should have already known about the existence of this fleet, and they will definitely try their best to encircle and suppress it.

This attack fleet made many achievements, but after all, the main active area was within the territory of the Imperial Association Army. Actually. The forces they have at their disposal have always been very limited. On paper, they are not even a match for a sector patrol fleet of the empire or the border lord.

It is conceivable that Father Bazan's life will not be easy. In other words, the closer he is to the empire, the greater the pressure he will bear.

Yu Lian was even mentally prepared to receive the bad news that their entire army had been annihilated.

Feifei said firmly: "We will receive the latest news soon. This is my intuition."

If it had been in the past, Yu Lianyue would have thought that she was comforting himself. After all, she was such a good woman. But now, since he already knows that the other party is the powerful Black Moon, it might be the intuition of the psychic.

Although Yu Lian himself didn't have the intuition in this regard, he was still a little hurt.

Soon, everyone in the staff came up with a feasible combat plan. The rough content is to put the highly maneuverable Yinglong-class battlecruisers on standby, which can lurk behind Fortress No. 3 and stand by. Once the enemy sends out such a small fleet to harass them again, they will attack with all their strength to eat them up.

"If every time the enemy harasses us on the same scale as today, how long will it take us to complete the total annihilation?" Yu Lian asked rhetorically.

"...It will take at least half an hour." Chief of Staff Tovey replied bravely. Of course he knew that what he reported was a very conservative theoretical data, which was almost impossible to see in reality.

"However, they can also retreat immediately. Just like we have done in past wars."

Having said that, after all, it is the strategy formulated by everyone in the staff department, and it is also the most executable plan. Of course Yu Lian ordered everyone to start executing it.

He is also thinking now, if there really is a super fortress gun that can hit one or two astronomical units in this universe, it would be great. In this way, any enemy fleet that dares to show its head and cross the center line will be directly bombarded.

...However, in this way, all war ethics and behavior patterns are actually completely different.

So, should I thank the Galactic Empire for not even thinking of using the Colossus now? Doesn't this mean that they still have martial ethics?

However, having said that, the comrades have always been emotionally stable for the huge threat that the Colossus may pose. Although they know that this is an epoch-making strategic weapon, they have never had any intuitive understanding of its true destructive power, so they will naturally ignore it subconsciously.

In short, in the following period of time, Yu Lian also gathered the few arsenal ships in his hands. These warships have now been used by Yu Lian as semi-mobile turrets, but at this time, they have returned to the position of warships, which is a bit like the Renaissance.

These warships equipped with high-power rail guns quickly crossed the conventional center line and launched a fierce bombardment, trying to attract the opposing imperial fleet to attack.

You know, after the appearance of the torpedo ship, the setting that the arsenal ship is a thin-skinned and large-stuffed prey has almost become a recognized by the military leaders of various countries.

Therefore, how many design departments and shipyards have been tossed around, and how many designers and technicians who have been deeply involved in the field of arsenal ships for a lifetime have become the tears of the times, but this is no longer important.

The highly mobile empire even ordered the suspension of the construction of all arsenal ships and guard ships. The site on the slipway was modified in the direction of light mothers and heavy cruisers, and those that could not be modified would rather be dismantled. Of course, what they wanted was this kind of decisive killing with wealth and power.

Now that I have thrown out so many prey, perhaps I have attracted some of the enemies. At that time, as long as I pit the other party a few times, I may be able to disrupt the empire's offensive rhythm.

However, it was obvious that Marshal Ikenroga and his high-ranking officers on the other side had already unified their thoughts. With the consistent military quality of the Imperial Army, once the upper-level thinking was unified and the orders were enforced, they would never be fooled by such tricks.

Such a huge Imperial fleet was not in chaos at all, and all kinds of tactical maneuvers were precise and efficient, as regular as the movements of robots.

The more they acted like an immovable mountain, the more anxious the Earthlings on the other side would be.

Then, on April 5, the Imperial Fleet launched another attack. This time, they changed their previous immovable attitude and directly mobilized more than 200 warships to cross the center line in one fell swoop.

At that moment, the fortress was in chaos. Everyone even felt that this was a full-scale general attack by the Imperial Army on the other side.

However, when the lookouts and monitoring departments put the latest situation on the star map, even Yu Lian couldn't help but frown.

"Is this... well, the so-called "flower rain" tactic?"

On the star map, the triangular arrows representing the battle fleets were indeed scattered into the monitoring range of the team. That scene really had the flavor of a hidden weapon being thrown into the scene.

The Imperial Army seemed to have been inspired by the battle the day before, and formed more than 30 groups of ships with battlecruisers and aircraft carriers as the core, and then launched raids on the No. 2 and No. 3 fortresses on the front line in a round-robin manner.

This is one of the largest sub-fortresses in our hands. Although the construction time is limited and only 70% of the old senior's plan has been completed, the quality is only half of the No. 1 main fortress, but it is still equipped with high-power fortress guns.

To be honest, with the composition of these light warships of the Imperial Fleet, once they are hit by the main guns of the fortress, they can only be killed in a string of two or three. Some small boats are even likely to burn, melt, or even evaporate violently in the energy heat wave measured in megawatts, and the boats and the people inside will be turned into atoms in pain.

Yes, no matter how fast and maneuverable these lightly equipped small fleets are, they can't completely avoid the counterattack of the Earthlings. However, they still stepped into the battlefield without hesitation.

In Yu Lian's opinion, this is more or less a bit like a skirmish line charge.

In an instant, the blazing white light waves projected by both sides, like the raging waves of hot air, entangled fiercely and madly.

This was a very fierce battle. The density of firepower brewed per unit time in an hour even exceeded the two-wing attack that started with a bang but ended with a whimper the day before yesterday.

However, after more than two hours of artillery battles, the Imperial Fleet still did not gain a phased advantage, so it symbolically gave a burst of dense volleys, and then retreated step by step behind the line of fire.

The ordinary soldiers on the Earth side were all cheering for their successful repulsion of the enemy, but the commanders did not dare to relax at all. Under Yu Lian's order, they quickly led their subordinates to start repairing equipment, collecting wounded, replenishing ammunition and energy, and did not dare to relax at all.

This is indeed the case. Less than twelve hours later, the mighty Imperial Fleet returned once again with a swagger, this time with a fleet size of more than 200 ships.

However, this time, in addition to battlecruisers, there were also aircraft carriers of considerable size that appeared on the battlefield. A large number of attack aircraft equipped with powerful bombs appeared on the battlefield. It can be seen that the empire has no intention of deciding the winner in the battle of fighter planes. It just wants to knock off the community's turret array like a walnut.

It was not just the purple lightning dragons of the empire that were covering their actions, but also the Aegis cruisers that were advancing under gunfire.

This battle still lasted less than two hours. The Imperial Army's losses this time were a little higher than last time. Those attack aircraft were also intercepted by the Phantom aircraft.

Facts have proved that the modification effect of the ghost aircraft equipped with light wings is not satisfactory for the time being. Although there will be problems such as the body deflection and the shield function being reduced after it is turned on, it can still have a good effect when used in a desperate charge when the bayonet is red. The empire's attack planes were overwhelmed.

But even so, they succeeded in tearing apart the turret array at the F12 area point.

"We lost 1,284 automatic turrets, 2 light cruisers, 2 destroyers and 3 assault ships, and 86 fighter planes... On the other hand, it is conservatively estimated that at least 200 imperial military planes were shot down. In addition, Eight Aegis cruisers and three Ruby-class light carriers were sunk. In addition, the battlecruiser Flying Fish was sunk. Judging from the current exchange ratio, the performance of the Imperial Army is indeed very ugly," Feifei reported. .

"However, with their size, they can bear such losses many times." Yu Liandao: "This is actually a siege. The fear is not the loss, but the lack of determination to fight."

However, the Galactic Empire dared to pile up three Titan ships in a small galaxy. Of course, it definitely lacked determination.

In the following period, the imperial fleet launched its sixth attack wave of the same scale and intensity. Conservative estimates suggest that they indeed suffered more than twice the casualties of the Blue Star Community, but the "middle line" agreed between the two armies was constantly approaching the direction of Said.

In the "asteroid belt" formed by various types of automated turrets, the fight between fighter planes has entered a fierce stage.

Yu Lian and the others soon received news from the front line: the empire had invested in a new type of fighter plane.

At first he thought it was a counter-weapon specially designed for light wings, and was immediately startled. Fortunately, images subsequently sent from the front line can confirm that the so-called new fighter is just an armored and firepower-enhanced version of the Purple Lightning Dragon.

This is not so much a new design to counterattack, but more of a compensation that is better than nothing.

But even so, after strengthening the firepower, armor and shield, the original mobility of the Purple Lightning Dragon can still be guaranteed. It should be replaced by a new engine and energy core. However, it is precisely in these fields that the technological reserves of a country can best be reflected.

Obviously, there is still a big gap between the Blue Star Community and the Empire in this aspect.

...Having said that, why is the sense of déjà vu getting stronger and stronger with the thickly armored and powerful Imperial fighter jets, as well as the high-speed, high-attack X-Wing fighter jets that may even jump in the future? Yu Lian couldn't help but pat his forehead.

Of course, there's more to the bad news than just that. The frontline soldiers received the latest report, confirming that the new "Purple Lightning Dragon Kai" were engraved with the logos of the Winged Knights United and the Purple Viscount United respectively.

"Oh, the emperor's loyal lackey... a walking bird! Finally he's here." Yu Lian thought it was reasonable.

"However, these new fighters are clearly being used as cannon fodder by the Imperial Army."

"Because they are, after all, you are from Kyeyang. Your Majesty's kindness and information are endless, so you can only risk your life." Yu Lian sighed: "Send the order to the fighter unit. There is no need to take risks to fight with the enemy's superior aircraft fleet, and make more use of the artillery array." space. The most important thing is not to fight.”

Yu Lian never thought about fighting a war of attrition with the enemy. However, since he chose to retreat, he was bound to give up considerable combat space to the enemy on the opposite side.

Therefore, the automatic turret array that Admiral Sylvester spent nearly a year building finally reached its limit after repeated attacks by the Imperial fleet.

More than seventy percent of the turrets were destroyed.

The remaining turrets stood sparsely in the vast starry sky, firing at all enemy ships that entered their attack range. But this level of bombardment will have almost no stopping effect once it fails to form a tight fire net. In the end, it will only become the prey of fighter planes and small warships.

Of course, the dangerous situation doesn't stop there.

The lookouts at Seide Fortress saw with their own eyes that the Empire destroyer, which was swooping down rapidly, was hit by a turret, lost power in an instant, and was then seized by the artificial gravity of the fortress.

The small warship seemed to be caught by the invisible clutches of the devil. Like a stinging bird, it staggered and circled several times, but still crashed into the outer wall of the fortress.

Then, the empire's destroyer finally hit the outer layer of the fluid metal, causing a series of explosions to form ripples of fire on the fluid that reflected the starlight.

As a result, a battleship and more than 400 crew members on it disappeared in an instant. I have seen too many things like this in the past two weeks.

However, this happened on April 21, 833 of the Common Calendar, at 16:47 galactic standard time, at Fortress No. 2 of Seder. The straight-line distance from the No. 1 major race was less than 100,000 kilometers.
