483 The basic skills of pirates, tricking the regular army
Half an hour later.
The two wings of the array that were attacked by the self-disciplined Annihilator combat weapons were all cleaned up by Liu Tao in the same way.
Even for mechanical civilization, when seeing this scene, its thinking stopped for a few seconds.
After all, according to pre-war calculations, this kind of thing should be impossible to happen.
Together, the two wings destroyed nearly 700,000 battleships, just to kill more than 200,000 combat weapons?
Obviously, this is extremely unreasonable from the perspective of mechanical civilization.
But the facts are facts. Even if it is beyond calculation, the mechanical civilization will soon come to its senses and take corresponding countermeasures.
The countermeasure is also very simple, that is, no longer break into the enemy's position, just keep a distance and conduct long-range artillery fire.
Liu Tao, on the other hand, did not hesitate at all and evacuated his entire army.
Based on post-war calculations.
The Pirate Alliance lost 870,000 warships, and even the Scorpion Pirates lost 27 Zhurong II warships.
As for the mechanical civilization, it lost 37 Slayer warships and 280,000 autonomous Annihilator combat weapons.
Although both sides suffered heavy losses.
However, in total terms, the mechanical civilization's fleet only lost less than 30% of its ship-borne weapons, while the Pirate Alliance actually lost most of its fleet.
At the same time, when the two sides fight next, it is unlikely that Liu Tao will bring such casualties to mechanical civilization again.
After all, no one will fall for the same trick a second time.
------
Inside the star ring channel.
A huge fleet is advancing rapidly among them.
Inside one of the battleships.
"Commander, I just received an urgent message from Commander Liu Tao!"
"Urgent news? What happened to this kid?"
Jiang Xingchen raised his eyebrows and asked immediately.
After all, Liu Tao’s understanding of the word emergency...
There seems to be some misunderstanding!
Over the years, he has sent back a lot of urgent information, but most of it was trivial.
"Commander, the mechanical civilization in Balt suddenly sent a fleet and invaded the Sid system."
"According to the report of Captain Liu Tao, the mechanical civilization's fleet consists of 1,000 Slayer warships, and the Interstellar Pirate Alliance lost nearly 70% of its warships after its first battle."
Ling Xiao said with a solemn expression.
He has naturally seen the briefing on Bart's mechanical civilization, and he is also very clear about the strength of the Slayer battleship.
To be honest, a thousand Slayer warships are not very strong. Let alone a certain legion in the pioneering fleet, even a main fleet can easily annihilate them.
However, this is for today's pioneering fleet.
And what about Liu Tao?
There are only 300 Pangu-class battleships and 1,000 Zhurong II-type battleships.
This is an old ship from decades ago.
Compared with the Pangu II and Alda II battleships currently used by the pioneering fleet, its combat effectiveness is significantly lower.
Poor combat power and small quantity!
Naturally, there is no way to deal with this fleet of mechanical civilization.
Lasted for nine months...
This is somewhat difficult.
"Is there a battlefield briefing?"
"Yes, it has been sent to your command terminal, Commander."
"Um!"
Jiang Xingchen nodded and touched the armrest of the command chair a few times.
Then, a virtual window appeared in front of me out of thin air.
What was displayed was the battlefield briefing sent by Liu Tao.
"Interesting, this guy did quite well!"
"Commander, although you conducted this battle well, the same method will no longer be effective against that mechanical civilization."
"Don't worry. Although this guy is unreliable, he is very clever. He will not rush forward and fight the enemy head-on."
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand, not caring at all.
The hard power is not comparable, but if Liu Tao wants to run away, that mechanical civilization will never be able to catch up.
The worst case scenario is that just like when he went to Balt before, he would take a bunch of mechanical civilization warships and wander around the galaxy for nine months.
This is that boy's strong suit.
Speaking of which, Liu Tao had boasted about Jiang Xingchen before.
Teasing a certain civilization's regular military fleet is the basic skill of interstellar pirates.
Talk about escaping!
He is professional.
"Reply to Liu Tao, I don't care what he does, but we will open up the fleet's landing area in nine months and no problems will be allowed!"
"Yes, Commander!"
------
At the same time.
The Sid galaxy, the Totobar star field.
This is the current home base of the Scorpion Pirates and the location of all warship production lines of the entire Interstellar Pirate Alliance.
"How's it going? How many escaped?"
Inside the battleship, Liu Tao sat on the command chair and asked his deputy.
"Captain, when you issued the evacuation order one day ago, there were 3,725 pirate groups with a total of 370,000 people following us to evacuate. However, they did not have hyperspace engines and could only use jump engines to escape in all directions."
"According to the information we have received so far, 158 pirate groups have been eliminated because they were pursued by Balt's mechanical civilization!"
"It will take at least half a month for the remaining pirate group to reach the Totobar Star Territory, and by then..."
By then, I'm afraid not much can be withdrawn, and this place may even be exposed in advance.
Is there anything bad to say?
"Currently, the production of Barbatore has been completed. How many warships have not yet been delivered?"
"There are 160,000 Tier 3 civilized battleships and 50,000 Tier 4 civilized battleships."
"Well, then I asked you to deliver the message to the pirate groups. Have they responded?"
"At present, it has been clearly stated that only about 20% of the pirate groups are sending people over."
Is it 20%...
That’s enough!
After hearing the deputy's answer, Liu Tao was not too surprised.
One day ago, when the Scorpion Pirate Group had just withdrawn from the battlefield, he sent an order to all the pirate groups, asking them to send all their hidden elite combat forces to Barbaatar.
Previously, Liu Tao forced all pirate groups to send at least 90% of their combat strength to follow the Scorpion pirate group in their expedition to Balt.
Although they did not dare to disobey Liu Tao's orders.
However, this does not mean that they will implement it honestly. There must be some small tricks behind the scenes.
And these little actions are...
Ninety percent of the battleships have been deployed, but most of the people driving these battleships have been replaced by new recruits.
As for those elite soldiers, they all stayed behind.
After all, warships can be purchased again, but elite veterans will die one by one.
Therefore, although these pirate groups do not have warships now, they still have a lot of troops.
Just call in all these troops.
So...
The more than 100,000 warships in Liu Tao's hands can immediately form combat effectiveness.
And the countless production lines all over Totobar are still rolling out brand-new warships one after another.
Of course, even with these more than 100,000 battleships.
Even if we add another zero, there are more than one million battleships.
Liu Tao was not interested either and ran to have another head-on fight with the mechanical civilization.
What he needs can still meet the needs of his plan...
cannon fodder!
That's right, the same method will not have a second effect on mechanical civilization.
But Liu Tao never said that this was his only method to deal with mechanical civilization.
To use this new method to severely damage the fleet of mechanical civilization again, Liu Tao still needs a lot of cannon fodder.
At least a dozen or two hundred thousand battleships are still necessary.
If there are more.
That’s naturally better! This chapter has been completed!
