Currently, tens of millions of Annihilators are launching an offensive from five different directions simultaneously.
If we fight against the five-pronged Annihilators at the same time, it's not that we can't win the pioneering fleet, but the price we have to pay is too high.
According to pre-war simulations, at least 30,000 to 40,000 battleships must be lost before this battle can be won.
Obviously, such a result was unacceptable to Jiang Xingchen.
Therefore, repelling them one by one became the only option.
Of course, it would be best if the mechanical civilization had a brain attack and continued to attack against the deceleration network.
The pioneering fleet can end the battle simply by practicing target practice on the spot.
But this was a bit too idealistic after all. After killing less than 800,000 Annihilators, the opponent had already decisively started to retreat.
In the end, we still have to go back to the original basic tactics.
It is undoubtedly very difficult for one Pangu II battleship to defeat fifty.
However, if you reduce this value to one to ten, it is completely different.
At this moment, what Jiang Xingchen wants to do is to rely on his own advantage of hyperspace navigation to form an all-round encirclement of the opponent before it completely breaks away from the deceleration net.
Then rely on all-round crossfire to quickly defeat it.
As for whether the other party still has a hyperspace engine.
Jiang Xingchen believes that the possibility is very small.
Otherwise, when they get stuck in the deceleration net, they should directly use hyperspace navigation to escape.
Even among the dozen or so plans prepared by Jiang Xingchen, three were formulated for the Annihilator to be able to go beyond space.
However, after fighting for so long, these Annihilators have not shown that they can use hyperspace.
This made Jiang Xingchen firm in his determination to use Precaution No. 7.
Use all of your strengths to target your enemy's weaknesses.
This is the basis of all tactics.
Of course, the premise is that you know yourself and your enemy, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
It can be said that the previous battle was a trial.
In order to find out the other party's temptation.
"The first legion has arrived in area e5."
"The second legion will arrive at the scheduled location in 7 seconds!"
"The Third Legion..."
...
"Report, all legions are in place!"
"Start attacking!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Six legions and eighteen fleets.
At this moment, it is divided into eighteen different directions with those annihilated along the way.
And the distance is only twelve light seconds.
The next moment, all-round and extremely fierce crossfire appeared.
Not just the space cutting or space penetration attacks that have been used since the beginning.
The distance of twelve light seconds has completely entered the range of the space compression cannon.
This thing is the weapon that poses the greatest threat to the army of mechanical civilization annihilators.
When we were in the Sid system before, the First Legion alone had less than one fleet and 9,000 warships, and it had killed more than 100,000 Annihilators in a very short period of time.
But now, there are 180,000 warships, and they are still under crossfire from all directions.
Just one wave of attacks had already caused heavy losses to those Annihilators.
Then the second wave, the third wave, and even more attacks came one after another.
Within a few minutes, more than 1.5 million Annihilators were wiped out.
As for the other four lanes of Annihilator support?
Jiang Xingchen expressed that he was not worried at all, because he had deployed a jump interference system in the center of the traction speed reduction network, where the pioneering fleet was previously located.
They cannot jump. Even if these Annihilators can accelerate, the speed is added up bit by bit, plus the distance is tens of light seconds.
It would be at least ten minutes before they could reach the battlefield.
Let alone ten minutes, Jiang Xingchen might not be able to stay even for one minute.
"Commander, we have destroyed 1.68 million Annihilators from the opponent, and the annihilation rate has exceeded 80%!"
"Stop the attack and order all fleets to move to the battlefield in ten seconds. The target is the Annihilator who has just entered the e5 area."
"Yes, Commander!"
Kill them all and then deal with the next group?
Jiang Xingchen would only arrange it like this unless he was out of his mind.
It's enough to kill 70% to 80% of the Annihilators on each route.
Wait until all five routes are disabled, then go back and finish.
The strategy of defeating them one by one is all about speed, but there is no time for you to play total annihilation here.
At the same time, Jiang Xingchen was also very particular about the target he chose.
Where is zone e5?
That is the other end of the traction speed reduction net, and that path of Annihilator is also the path farthest from the battlefield at this moment.
Once the pioneering fleet appears in area e5, it will launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the annihilators along the way.
Then, there are only two options for the remaining three-way Annihilator.
The first one is to ignore the 2 million Annihilators that were surrounded and suppressed in area E5, but continue to advance along the original route and join up with the remnants of the previous route.
Even after gathering the remaining troops, they continued to wait where they were and merged with the other two groups, eventually integrating an army of more than 6 million Annihilators along the way.
The second one is to give up progress and immediately turn around and go to area e5.
Speaking of which, no matter how they choose, Jiang Xingchen doesn't care.
Because, for these two options, he has already prepared the corresponding preparations.
Of course, the second option will definitely make subsequent battles easier.
"Commander, according to calculations, of the three routes of Annihilators, two have already set off for Area E5, with arrival times of 778 seconds and 825 seconds respectively. The other route continues to advance towards the remnants of the previous route of Annihilators, with an estimated arrival time of
Time 425 seconds."
"Want to have both ends?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen was slightly stunned.
It's not that he didn't expect this situation, it's just...
This choice was so bad that Jiang Xingchen didn't even make corresponding plans for this situation.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Xingchen was a little confused.
He really wanted to know how mechanical civilization calculated to arrive at such a result.
"Notify all fleets to continue maintaining firepower and end the battle within five minutes, and then we will return to area r11 (the location of the previous battlefield)"
"Yes, Commander!"
Since this road has been separated from the speed reduction network, it is a little more troublesome than the previous road.
But it's just a little more troublesome, that's all.
Control the range difference and use space compression cannons to continuously harvest.
At the same time, although the other two space weapons are not as effective as the space compression cannon, they can still achieve a lot at a distance of more than ten light seconds.
------
Five minutes later.
More than 80% of the Annihilators in area e5 were also wiped out.
Looking at the actual model of the battlefield showing the other two armies of Annihilators approaching, Jiang Xingchen paid no attention to their plans.
"Instruct all fleets to move the battlefield immediately and target area r11!"
"Ignore the remnants of the previous army and carry out interception operations against target No. 3!"
With a wave of his right hand, the order was given.
