Humans began to quickly gather the outgoing troops and redeploy their forces.
Afterwards, the human fleet still had more than 6 million warships.
Among them, more than 20,000 large warships that were almost intact ignited at the same time, pulling the engine power to the maximum, and exploded in succession towards the two war fortresses. The aftermath swept out a nearly 1,000-kilometer-diameter empty zone.
Behind the large warships were hundreds of thousands of medium warships and more than 2 million small warships.
The rest, led by Caesar's column, more than 3,000 large warships, hundreds of thousands of medium warships, more than 2 million small warships, and more than 23 million ordinary enhanced Eagle Strike Warriors, all stayed behind.
A total of 170 million people.
Their mission is to cover the rear and intercept the enemy forces that are eight times their own.
Due to the need for confidentiality, near-field quantum communication during wartime is limited to a smaller range.
When the distance between the front fleet and the rear fleet exceeds 10 million kilometers, Tang Tianxin has to hand over the command of the rear fleet to Gaius.
Although Gaius is also very good, the gap between him and Tang Tianxin is at least half as much as the gap between Lin Bu and Chen Feng.
It will take another eight hours for the vanguard fleet to reach the earth.
This means that Gaius must lead this temporary joint column of less than three million warships and more than 23 million Eagle Strike Warriors to block the advance of the enemy army eight times its size for eight hours.
This battle is destined to be bloody in space.
The fate that awaits Gaius and others is that no one will survive.
The vanguard fleet rushed past, breaking through the flames of the explosion, and moving forward.
Tang Tianxin, who was in the Tianxin flagship in the center of the large fleet formation, had beads of sweat on her forehead.
She was still concentrating on controlling the battle situation, even working harder than before.
She only had one hour left to command.
She had to do her best to control the rear-end fleet at medium distance within this hour to tear off as many of Lei's troops as possible, and slightly reduce the pressure that Gaius, who took over, had to face.
Five minutes later, with continuous acceleration, the vanguard fleet advanced more than 600,000 kilometers.
The vanguard fleet went farther and farther, and looking back, only a bright light spot could be seen in the dark space.
Tens of millions of combat units belonging to humans and Lei were fighting in the universe. In the vast and vast universe, they were just fragile light spots that could go out at any time.
And this light spot would continue to shrink as the distance increased, and eventually go out.
Veins began to pop out on Tang Tianxin's forehead, and her throat became a little hoarse.
"Inject me with energy liquid! Emergency atomic robot repair liquid!"
Tang Tianxin suddenly shouted without turning her head.
She had been commanding the battlefield at a very high intensity for more than 20 minutes, which put a lot of pressure on her body.
In addition, her physical fitness is far inferior to that of warriors like Chen Feng, and now she needs emergency treatment.
Scott, a professional medical officer who had been waiting on the side, rushed forward and opened the medicine box that he had prepared in his hand. Two extremely thin fibers spread out on their own, one on the left and one on the right, and instantly pierced into Tang Tianxin's shoulders and began to inject the medicine.
During this process, her hands controlling the virtual buttons and tactical diagrams never stopped for a moment.
In order not to affect the command operation, she didn't even have the chance to sit in the portable quark therapy device.
To maintain a perfect state, one must adjust to the most comfortable situation for oneself.
Chen Feng has been standing beside her, feeling a little reluctant, but he did not persuade her.
There are so many comrades in the rear, and people lose their lives every minute and every second.
How can Chen Feng bear to be so selfish?
In these five minutes, she controlled the battle loss ratio and narrowed the gap in combat power between the two sides to 7.5:1!
Ten minutes passed.
She injected the drug again.
The combat power gap is 7:1!
Twenty minutes.
The combat power gap is 5.5:1!
But as Lei's combat units continue to decrease, her control accuracy seems to be getting higher and higher, and Tang Tianxin's difficulty in exchanging less for more is increasing.
Half an hour later, the difference in combat power became 5:1.
After a full hour, the signal was about to be interrupted.
Tang Tianxin injected the drug eleven times in total, and finally suppressed the combat power ratio of both sides to 4:1.
"Gaius, I leave it to you."
After Tang Tianxin said this, she didn't wait for Gaius to answer, and fell on her back with a pale face, just lying in the reclining quark therapy instrument that had been placed behind her.
When Tang Tianxin commanded the battlefield before, Chen Feng was almost always charging outside. This was the first time he stood beside her and watched a full high-intensity command.
Her job did not require her to be in the artillery fire, but it was a tragic battlefield without smoke and bloodshed.
Every decision she made would change the lives of countless people in an instant.
She seemed to casually draw a simple curve on the tactical map, and thousands, even hundreds of thousands or even more people might launch a life-threatening attack without hesitation.
Even if this was for victory, her hands were still stained with blood.
But if there really were gods in the sky, and there was karmic fire after death, every top commander would be burning with karmic flames.
The psychological pressure involved was so great that it was difficult to describe, and it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In Chen Feng's original era, let alone such an order, even if he deliberately let dozens or even a few people sacrifice themselves voluntarily due to mission needs, he would be in danger of being sent to a military court.
The current era has become like this, and we can only say that each era raises a generation.
The Hundred Years of War has forged hundreds of millions of heroic souls.
"Chen Feng, Captain Tang has fainted, right? But I, Gaius Julius, swear here that I will lead everyone to fight to the last moment! Never retreat!"
Gaius said, and the real-time information of near-field quantum communication was instantly interrupted.
Next, Tang Tianxin will spend at least six hours in the quark instrument for rapid recovery and treatment. Chen Feng will temporarily take over the position of commander, but he doesn't have to do anything, and he can't do anything.
He can no longer intervene in the rear battlefield, and can only pay attention to the battle report through the simple battle report that can be published in the quantum information network.
Another hour passed.
There are still 1.6 million human battleships and 14 million Eagle Strike fighters in the rear-end fleet.
The enemy's force ratio became 3.5:1.
Three hours passed.
There were still 860,000 human warships and 7.3 million Eagle Strike Warriors, with a force ratio of 3.2:1.
Lei's control was getting better and better.
Six hours later, Tang Tianxin woke up.
There were only more than 300,000 human warships and 4.2 million Eagle Strike Warriors, with a force ratio of 3.3:1.
The distance did not close, but was gradually left behind.
Chen Feng's eyes were red.
Tang Tianxin came over from the side and turned off the real-time broadcast.
Chen Feng asked her, "Why?"
"No reason, just trust them and do our job well."
After Tang Tianxin finished speaking, she still put her hands behind her back and stared at the blue planet that was getting closer and closer in front of her.
Chen Feng turned around silently, found a chair and sat down.
Another hour passed, and a quantum bulletin message was delivered back.
Gaius was killed in battle, all members of Caesar's column were killed, and the last column's flagship, Captain Chekov of the Sevi column, took over as the commander of the rearguard fleet.
Humanity only had 50,000 battleships and 3.1 million Eagle Strike Warriors left, with a force ratio of 5:1.
Eight hours later.
Chekov was killed, the rearguard fleet was completely destroyed, and the Eagle Strike Warriors were completely destroyed.
They fired every last bullet, fought to the last drop of blood, and won the precious eight hours for the vanguard fleet.
The remaining enemy forces began to integrate and chase in the direction of the vanguard fleet, but it was in vain.
A huge human fleet of nearly 8 million warships approached the earth from four directions almost at the same time.
Yes, the original plan was to arrive with 22 million ships, but only 8 million ships came in the end.
Ray's space-based weapons have changed direction, and more than 3 million triangular spike battleships have been launched. More than 8,000 fortress motherships and four war fortresses are hiding behind these triangular spike battleships.
Hundreds of millions of black light war beasts and triangular fighters are still quietly suspended in the sky above the earth.
This is all the combat power that Lei has unleashed in just four months after exhausting the resources she had plundered for a hundred years!
The commanders of the four fleets had a brief exchange and reported on the results of the previous interception battles.
Tang Tianxin overwhelmed the three commanders of other war zones, Lu Xianfeng, Lawrence, and Philpes, with an overwhelming advantage.
She "only" sacrificed less than half of her troops to break through Lei's blockade.
The Mars Fleet alone brought a total of nearly three million warships of different models and 32 million Eagle Strike Warriors.
The remaining three forces combined brought a total of five million warships and 710,000 Eagle Strike Warriors.
Tang Tianxin, who had recovered to her full strength, naturally became the commander-in-chief.
She took a deep breath, and her eyes flashed with brilliance again, "General attack! Charge! All high-frequency gamma-ray jammers are fully activated! Dongfeng 193 heavy nuclear missiles will cover and strike, destroy Lei's space-based weapons first! The Venus fleet will adopt an arrow formation, with medium-sized battleships in the front, small battleships in the middle, and large battleships hidden in the back. Large battleships are ready to increase power and complete the rendezvous at any time! The Mercury fleet will adopt a cantilever formation..."
With her order, the four fleets in the far-outer orbit of the earth began to circle and move, as if the galactic cantilever was moving around the center of the galaxy.
"All ordinary enhanced Eagle Strike Warriors, stand out! Those named will be injected with Meteor Enhancement Potion! Prepare to engage the Black Light Battle Beasts and triangular fighters! No longer use chain defense, all members will fight individually and be prepared for space-based artillery sweeps at any time!"
"Small battleships will hold up the three-force shields, form a red cliff deck formation, and move horizontally to block the enemy's large triangular battleships from advancing! After approaching the enemy ships, fire gamma-ray jammer blasting bombs in clusters!"
"Medium battleship K4 main guns are ready to charge! Small battleship jammers will open fire immediately after the jammers take effect!"
On the other side, Lei's new battleships were not to be trifled with. They all burst out with incredible flying speeds, dispersing and interlacing towards the human fleet to surround it.
Yes, although Lei's new warships are few in number, they can use a new propulsion method that has never been seen before, combining the curvature engine and the ordinary medium engine, to gain an absolute speed advantage.
She wants to use the advantage of the high-speed maneuverability of the warships to surround the human fleet with a small number of troops!
At this time, Chen Feng was not idle either. He had already brought many elites to quietly blend into the ranks of ordinary Eagle Strike Warriors, maintaining the speed of ordinary warriors, and quietly approached the Black Light War Beasts and the Triangle Fighter Corps that were rushing forward first.
The final battle between humans and Lei was a blast.
