At this time, mechanical civilization has actually reacted.
But, it's too late!
Three of the five routes have been attacked.
The remaining two roads are on both sides of the traction speed reduction net. If you want to get together, you have to follow the periphery of this spherical speed bump and go all the way around.
And there is no way to merge through the shortest distance in a straight line.
The whole process takes at least twenty minutes.
Obviously, this time is too long and cannot be completed before Jiang Xingchen can solve the third road and then go straight to the fourth road.
Finally, after repeated calculations, the mechanical civilization gave up on the confluence of the remaining two routes, and instead allowed the remaining two routes to contain about 4 million Annihilators, some of which rushed into the speed reduction net again.
As for the remaining ones, they were completely scattered in different directions.
Of course, the mastermind of mechanical civilization did not have a seizure.
Its purpose is simple, to destroy the machine located in the speed reduction net...
Warp disruption equipment.
As long as it is destroyed, all Annihilators will be able to regain their ability to jump, thus gathering the remaining troops in the shortest possible time and temporarily withdrawing from the battlefield while minimizing losses.
After all, compared to annihilating the entire army, retaining more than half of the troops is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
Of course, this move was also caught by the pioneering fleet.
"Commander, it seems that the mechanical civilization is preparing to destroy the jump jamming device and then retreat!"
"Should we deploy another jump jamming system?"
Inside the bridge, Adjutant Ling Xiao asked.
Destroy the warp disruptor?
Don't be stupid, this thing is worthless. Even if you deploy another 1,000 sets, it won't be a problem at all for the pioneering fleet.
"It's useless. Of the remaining 4 million Annihilator war weapons, 1 million rushed into the traction and speed reduction network, while the other 3 million were completely broken into pieces and scattered in all directions."
"Obviously, the mechanical civilization knows that destroying only one jump interference device will not completely eliminate the crisis, so they only let some of their troops do the work, and the rest are probably planning to spread throughout the entire area."
"This has two benefits."
"First, as long as these Annihilators are spread far enough, no matter where we deploy them, they can quickly destroy them. After all, the range of these Annihilators is a full ten light seconds."
"Second, the complete dispersal of the 3 million Annihilators also makes it impossible for us to engage in a direct encirclement and annihilation battle like the first three groups did, which can delay time and reduce casualties."
"And as long as the jump ability is restored, they can rely on the jump to instantly return to their respective motherships and finally leave the battlefield."
"Of course, it may not be to finally escape from the battlefield, but just to allow those five mechanical planets to escape. After all, the military has speculated that these mechanical planets, that is, the Predator mothership, may have production lines for Annihilators.
.”
...
Hearing this, Ling Xiao also understood.
Indeed, there are approximately 2 million Annihilators per line.
The reason why the first three routes can be solved so quickly is that these 2 million Annihilators are all concentrated together, making it easy for the pioneering fleet to rely on hyperspace advantages to quickly complete the encirclement and suppression, and then defeat them one by one.
But if all the Annihilators were completely dispersed, the Federation would have to be passive and switch from encirclement and suppression operations to mopping up operations.
The time required may be dozens or even hundreds of times.
At the same time, it is not only the last two groups that have dispersed their forces, but the two groups that have been dispersed before are also breaking into pieces and spreading in all directions.
This means that in a short time, Annihilators will be distributed everywhere in the entire battlefield area.
At this time, no matter where you deploy the warp disruptor, there will be many Annihilators that can directly attack it.
"Commander, what should we do next?"
"Well, it's actually very easy. Since mechanical civilization wants to prevent us from deploying more jump interference devices, then we won't deploy them."
"If we don't deploy it, then once the jump interference device in the deceleration network is knocked out, wouldn't it be..."
Ling Xiao suddenly became anxious.
In such a great situation, is it necessary to allow half of their troops to successfully evacuate in the end?
"Ling Xiao, please don't lose your mind, okay? You can't think the other way around. If mechanical civilization can't destroy this jump jamming device, then all other actions will be meaningless?"
"Commander, what do you mean..."
"Ignore it for now. Give them five minutes to spread out the three million Annihilators. At the same time, we also seize the time. In these five minutes, we can fight as many as we can along this route!"
...
Next, Jiang Xingchen explained the entire plan.
Ling Xiao's eyes widened immediately.
Can it still be done like this?
So, the current operation of mechanical civilization is purely seeking death?
------
Five minutes later.
The third line of Annihilators suffered more than 50% losses under the crossfire of the pioneering fleet.
As for the other two groups, as well as the remnants of the previous two groups, except for the one million Annihilators who rushed into the deceleration net, the remaining nearly four million have been completely broken into pieces and dispersed.
Spread over a large area.
If this continues, I am afraid that within ten or twenty minutes at most, there will be annihilators everywhere in the entire combat area that spans hundreds of light seconds.
"It's time to take action!"
"Yes, Commander!"
The next moment, the fleets that were still firing with all their strength stopped attacking in an instant.
Then they all started the hyperspace engines and disappeared.
The next second, the direct army and the elf army appeared in the center of the deceleration net, which is where the pioneering fleet was at the beginning of the battle.
To deal with one million Annihilators whose speed is limited, two legions of 60,000 battleships are enough!
As for the other four main legions, there is no trace...
Well, it's not that there are no traces, but when these four legions and 120,000 Pangu II battleships appear again, they do not appear in legion arrays, but...
It was also divided into parts, with every one hundred Pangu II ships as a combat unit, a total of 1,200 combat units appeared everywhere on the battlefield.
They have only one mission, and that is...
Mopping up operations!
If it were before, let a hundred battleships form a combat unit to fight the Annihilators.
That is undoubtedly seeking death, and even the Federation's Pangu II battleship is simply impossible to do it.
But now, the situation is completely different.
Because, millions of Annihilators have completely dispersed.
No matter what position they are in, there will not be too many Annihilators that can engage one combat unit of the Pioneer Fleet at the same time.
This is why, after listening to what Jiang Xingchen said, Ling Xiao discovered that the mechanical civilization was really looking for death.
Use the strength of two legions to directly kill your 1 million Annihilators who rush into the deceleration net to ensure that the jump jamming device is not destroyed.
At the same time, the troops of the four legions were divided into thousands of combat units to launch mopping up operations throughout the entire battlefield area.
The Annihilator's attack is indeed a threat to the Pangu Type II. This is true.
Because of the special attack it uses, each hit can destroy 7-8% of the Pangu II's shield integrity.
The premise is that you have enough Annihilators to focus fire at the same time.
But now?
How could there be so many Annihilators who were completely broken into pieces and concentrated fire at the same time?
On the contrary, those Pangu II-type battleships that form small combat units can no longer have any scruples and can just go to work.
After all, the number of Annihilators that can be encountered and attacked is extremely limited.
It is simply impossible to instantly break through the Pangu II type space shield.
Since it is equal to invincibility, why worry about the range? Just go all the way and kill all the Annihilators within your attack range.
In short, Jiang Xingchen's thinking is very clear.
If you gather together, I will engage in an encirclement and suppression campaign; if you spread out, I will clear up the enemy!
If you want to break this situation, you must gather all the remaining 5 million Annihilators together.
But it is a pity that since the beginning of the war, the mechanical civilization has dispersed its forces in five different directions, and at this moment, it is unable to gather them quickly due to the problem of jump interference.
Therefore, the initiative has been held in Jiang Xingchen's hands.
No matter how you change your tactics, he can handle it calmly.
------
Three hours later.
The last Annihilator autonomous war weapon was destroyed.
During this period, although mechanical civilization thought of many ways to reverse the situation on the battlefield.
But as mentioned just now, the initiative is completely controlled by Jiang Xingchen. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, no matter what mechanical civilization does, it will be meaningless.
Obviously, Jiang Xingchen can't make mistakes.
Therefore, in the end, these five million annihilators still cannot escape the fate of being gradually annihilated.
After taking care of the Annihilators, Jiang Xingchen set his sights on the five mechanical planets and the five thousand Slayers outside the battlefield.
These are big guys who have no resistance but cannot escape.
Do you want to annihilate them all in one fell swoop?
still...
How about annihilating them all in one fell swoop?
