In the communication channel, Mei Jielin interrupted: "The fighting style has changed a lot, but the strategy is still as insidious! First, use the new detection system to scare the rebels into doubt, then deepen this fear, shake the morale of the army, and cut off Donald's supply. After two consecutive battles, not only did they successfully intimidate and consume Donald's combat power, but they also found out the opponent's current level!"
She sighed: "Fortunately, we are in the same team with you."
Pojun said: "Miss Mei Jielin, 'Insidious' means being kind on the surface, but secretly scheming and cheating with ill intentions. I don't think this word applies to the general. "
Because of this "Miss", Mei Jielin was rarely humble: "Po Jun, why do you think it doesn't apply?"
Po Jun: "The general doesn't look kind on the surface."
Mei Jielin laughed so hard that she almost couldn't breathe: "Commander, look, Po Jun has a pair of wise eyes!"
Po Jun was very polite: "Thank you Miss Mei Jielin for the compliment."
Lu Fenghan realized that the once pure Po Jun was also corrupted by this group of people.
He couldn't help but look at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan looked back in confusion, his eyes as clean as spring water.
Under the table, the two people's fingers were still hooked. Lu Fenghan thought, people should not be greedy. At least he still has the pure land of Qiyan by his side.
In the communication channel, several people kept arguing, and they did not delay their business.
After Pojun accurately detonated eight enemy ships that tried to approach and self-destruct, the other side finally stopped its inferior tricks.
Du Shang, who was in the front, called out in the channel: "The vanguard of the rebels is shrinking in fear and dare not come up. Is there a magnet in this fucking turtle shell, sucking it and not letting it probe? Mei Jielin, let's form a team, I'll go around and seduce them, Once they stick out a little from the shell, you hit them hard!"
Mei Jielin immediately responded: "No problem!"
Long Xiyun said: "Wait until you lure the other side out, I will lead a team to cut in diagonally and cut off their retreat."
Du Shang: "We are all brothers!"
Long Xiyun: "The collected supplies--"
Du Shang immediately changed his words: "If we don't mention supplies, we can still be brothers!"
At the same time, under the curtain of space, Du Shang commanded the Jiangling to pretend to avoid the missiles flying diagonally, and "accidentally" entered the range of the enemy's vanguard, and then pretended to dodge in time, and the stern was hit by the incoming laser cannon, leaving a charred streak on the outer armor.
In a rather desperate manner, the Jiangling turned its bow and quickly retreated to the side. The entire fleet, including the frigates and destroyers, moved in unison, bending the formation, trying to get out of the range.
How could the rebel vanguard miss this good opportunity? The fleet that had been cautiously retreating finally opened its sharp beaks towards the Jiangling like a vulture trying to peck at someone's eyes!
In a flash, the Chanyuan and its followers pulled the power system to the maximum, and rushed forward like a long sword quenched with fire. The particle cannon cleared the way, and in an instant, the enemy ship behind the Jiangling was bombed to ashes. There was even a blank space in the enemy fleet, like a bald eagle with its head and neck cut off.
Before the rebels could make up their minds, Long Xiyun led a group of destroyers to arrive, piercing their abdomens like glaring arrows! Then the bows of the ships all turned back 90 degrees, and the laser cannons were thrown out without cost. After the silent explosion, only a pile of debris was left.
On the rebels' monitoring screen, the formation that was originally connected in the shape of an eagle lost its "head" and "chest and abdomen" in the blink of an eye, leaving only the wings and tail feathers intact.
Everything happened in just a breath!
Donald stood up with a sullen
face, "What's going on?" The person who reported the incident turned pale, "Report! The Chanyuan fleet came too fast, and we couldn't retreat in time. The attack fleet in the back blocked our way. The front couldn't retreat, and the rear couldn't support us!"
The voices got quieter as we went back.
What we didn't dare to say was that the enemy's morale was so high, and we were cautious to put it nicely, but we were afraid to move forward and couldn't win.
Seeing that the fleet was dispersed and there was no sign of restoration in half a minute, Donald accessed all channels and shouted: "If anyone dares to avoid fighting, the entire fleet will be executed!"
On the Dingyuan, Lu Fenghan looked at the multi-dimensional star map on the virtual screen and issued an order: "Du Shang and Mei Jielin, Wei Yin and Long Xiyun, turn to V-shaped encirclement, each encircle the enemy's two wings, stand up all the missile boosters, and roast chicken wings, understand?"
Mei Jielin smiled and responded loudly: "Understood!"
Long Xiyun also responded: "Yes!"
Lu Fenghan's eyes reflected the virtual starlight on the star map, "The encirclement is tight, don't let a single enemy ship escape."
"No problem!" Du Shang asked, "Commander, Donald, you do it yourself?"
"Well, I'll handle it myself."
Donald was thinking whether to fight hard or evacuate the battlefield.
His adjutant stood beside him, looking straight ahead, and reminded him secretly: "Captain, you don't have much time to think about it."
The front was completely destroyed by the expeditionary army, and the two wings were surrounded by the expeditionary army. He was at the back and still had time to breathe, but as long as he was included in the range of the expeditionary army, he would become a shining target.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, the adjutant continued to persuade him: "The battle is a foregone conclusion, but you can still make a comeback."
He said the three words "lost" in a tactful way.
Donald had his own considerations: "Everyone knows the ending of the previous army commander. I am not a direct confidant of the wise man."
The adjutant understood his concerns.
Unlike the army commanders of the Third and Sixth Legions, who were deeply trusted by the wise man, Donald crossed the Lisbon front in the two major battles last year and successively captured Turin and York, but his achievements did not make up for his mistakes. He still could not bear the anger of the wise man due to the defeat.
He will die.
Even not a very decent death.
Even though the wise man kept saying "God loves the world" and "God is tolerant", Donald knew very well that the wise man had no so-called tolerance.
The adjutant was Donald's confidant, and his voice was very low: "We don't have to go back."
Donald looked at him abruptly.
At this moment, Donald thought a lot. For example, he could temporarily avoid the limelight, and then use the excuse of being mistakenly involved in the space-time chaos when he returned, or negotiate cooperation with the interstellar pirates...
He quickly made up his mind: "Retreat quickly and leave the battlefield!"
The subordinate asked quickly: "Do we need to recall the remnants?"
Donald's expression was grim: "Time is urgent, we can't take care of them, let's go directly!"
The subordinate wanted to say something, but the fear he had for a long time made him dare not contradict his superior's order: "...Yes."
Once the retreat was confirmed, Donald's anxiety eased a little.
"The fleets on both wings can help us block the expeditionary force. If that doesn't work, the accompanying frigates can also serve as human shields. There is no problem for the main ship to withdraw from the battlefield."
The adjutant nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the entire surveillance screen was filled with red light, and a voice shouted: "Enemy attack! Has entered the range!"
Tang Na's voice was tense: "Dingyuan?"
"It's not Dingyuan, it's a medium-sized fleet! It's attacking from the side and rear. There is a meteorite belt over there, which interferes with radar detection!"
Tang Na breathed a sigh of relief - as long as Dingyuan didn't come and Lu Fenghan didn't show up in person, he would have a chance to escape!
He made up his mind: "The frigates will stay behind and use missiles to attack and cover the main ship's evacuation!"
After the order was issued, he realized that something was wrong.
If the Chanyuan and Jiangling besieged the left wing, and the Pingning and Feilian besieged the right wing, then the Dingyuan, which was cut off, could not stay where it was.
According to Lu Fenghan's combat habits, he was never afraid of death and always rushed to the front.
In other words, Lu Fenghan must be here!
He shrank his trachea and said hoarsely: "Check again! Dingyuan may be in the medium-sized fleet!"
Before he finished the order, the starship under his feet suddenly shook!
"Report! The main ship was attacked by high-energy particle cannons! The right wing turret was destroyed! Please give instructions!" "
Report! Encountered enemy fire, and there was a crack in the defense! Please give instructions!"
High-energy particle cannon?
Amid the noise, Donald's brain was struggling to work.
High-energy particle cannons can only be equipped on main ships, and medium-sized ships cannot bear them at all, which means -
"It's Lu Fenghan! Report! The attack comes from Dingyuan! The frigate has lost contact, and the stern is seriously damaged! The power system is affected! Please give instructions!"
The three words "Lu Fenghan" were called out, and the air was stagnant.
The gray-black Dingyuan was like a ferry floating on the Styx, and Lu Fenghan was the terrifying god of death.
No one would forget that the previous legion commander once seized a rare mineral star and then ordered all the miners to be slaughtered as much as possible. Within two days, Lu Fenghan led the fleet to the battlefield. Not only did he take back the mineral planet, but he also forced the former army commander to flee with no men or ships, and the emperor was in a panic.
The former army commander tried to negotiate with Lu Fenghan, saying that thousands of miners were nothing but grass, and there was no need to start a war.
Lu Fenghan replied indifferently that no citizen of our alliance had a life that was worthless, and that blood debts must be repaid with their lives.
It was also that time that Lu Fenghan ordered "clearing the ships" - clearing every enemy ship.
So for a long time, the three words "Lu Fenghan" were stained with a strong blood color, and even when they were read out, one could smell the blood.
The video call was forcibly connected to the ship.
In the screen, Lu Fenghan sneered: "After a year of no fighting, Commander Tang Na still hasn't made any progress. He only knows how to use people to pave the way for his own escape."
Tang Na gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, feeling angry.
This man's intention is too obvious.
Want to use a sentence to make him change his mind in front of the battle?
But when he turned his eyes, he found that the subordinates around him all lowered their heads and turned their faces away, and he couldn't see their expressions clearly.
Lu Fenghan stopped talking nonsense: "I've said it before, blood debts must be paid with lives. When you ambushed at the exit of the jump point, you should have been mentally prepared for my revenge."
His eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and his tone was understated. He ordered: "Fire."
Three seconds later, Dingyuan, hidden behind the medium-sized ship, calibrated the muzzle through the central control system and fired two high-energy particle cannons in succession, falling towards the enemy's main ship like a comet!
One completely broke through the defense and armor.
One blew the entire starship into gray smoke.
Silent explosion.
Layers of fire reflected on the dark gray body of Dingyuan, like the sunset and the morning sun.
The dust settled.
A few minutes later, in the communication channel, Mei Jielin turned to the camera with his back straight: "Report to the commander, the mission has been completed!"
At the same time, Long Xiyun, Wei Yin, and Du Shang also reported that they had completed the mission.
The wreckage after the explosion floated quietly in space.
Lu Fenghan ordered in all channels: "All expeditionary forces assemble."
Countless starships passed through the smoke and debris, and lined up in silence, like an impenetrable shield.
Eric, who stayed on the command ship, reported: "Wise Chadway and seventeen others betrayed the alliance and leaked secrets. They have all been killed."
In the vast sea of stars, with darkness as the curtain and unknown distant stars as the border, all the starships of the expeditionary force still carried traces of gunfire, indicating the fierce battle they had just experienced. The muzzles
of the guns, which were still warm, rose one after another.
After a command, countless missiles took off at the same time.
The fire was dazzling.
Lu Fenghan ordered in a deep voice: "Salute!"
On the ships, countless people, wearing white military uniforms, touched the heels of their boots and tightened their fingers at the same time.
Among the stars, they comforted the heroic souls, and the shame of retreating thousands of miles in the past was now washed away by victory.
Rest in peace.
After deciding on the station, Lu Fenghan requested a list of sacrifices and a report of the battle damage.
"The Jiangling was the vanguard, and its power system was damaged. It has been reported to the technical department. Six frigates, three medium-sized ships, four reconnaissance ships, and eleven destroyers were lost. The starships that were slightly damaged were not included."
"The Chanyuan suffered 25% damage to its bow, four frigates were lost, and three destroyers..." "
The Pingning main ship is intact, and the frigates..."
"Fei Lian... 27 destroyers were lost."
Lu Fenghan finally spoke: "The Dingyuan main ship is intact, two frigates were lost, three medium-sized ships were lost, and nine destroyers were lost."
After reporting, Mei Jielin touched his nose and said, "It's over. When I go back, Lorenz will definitely look down on me again. I'll be scared. I decided to stay away from the technical department for the next half month!"
Du Shang sighed: "It's the same, we share the difficulties and go through it together."
After a moment's silence, Mei Jie Lin suddenly said: "It's more comfortable to fight a battle like this. When you get the order, you just rush forward with all your heart and soul, and start the battle. Because you know that there are people to protect you, no matter on the left, right or back, you will never be hit by a shot in the back halfway through the charge."
Lu Fenghan knew that she was talking about the situation after a major defeat.
Weiyin continued: "Who wouldn't like it? I can only fight, but I can't handle tricks. At that time, it was unclear whether it was an enemy or a friend inside, and anyone could stab you. Long Xiyun also asked me to act with Weiss, Commander, you know, the First Military Academy really didn't teach acting classes!"
Long Xiyun glanced at him: "Is it so difficult to let you act dumb?"
Mei Jielin laughed out loud without mercy.
After communicating with Erich who stayed on the command ship, and arranging the latest deployment, Lu Fenghan turned off the communication channel and loosened a button on his collar.
Looking at the sofa placed aside again - during the time he was dealing with post-war affairs, Qi Yan's personal terminal's virtual screen was still on, but he had already put on the mute earplugs and fell asleep.
Knowing that Qi Yan couldn't hear him, Lu Fenghan still slowed down his steps. Half-kneeling beside the sofa, Lu Fenghan moved closer and vaguely smelled a crisp breeze on a snowy night.
Qi Yan woke up at this moment.
He half-closed his eyes, pulled Lu Fenghan's hand under his face, and spoke unclearly: "Are you going to Turan for class?"
A smile suddenly flashed in the corner of Lu Fenghan's eyes. He wanted to say, "You remembered it wrong again", but then he thought, it's okay if it's just for this moment, so that Qi Yan doesn't have to think about the separation of life and death that happened in the past.
He covered Qi Yan's eyes with his rough palms and whispered soothingly: "Go to sleep, I'll be with you."
