But when Dugu Junjie started his attack plan, on the Minghui Empire side, Commander-in-Chief Jiang Nanshan finally had a direct conversation with Li Shu.
Jiang Nanshan needs Li Shu and the Weilong fleet here to create pressure on the Tianshui Empire from the flanks, so that the western part of the Minghui Empire can get some breathing time to reorganize and prepare for war.
Li Shu agreed. Originally, these unmanned warships were actually prepared consumables to collect data. As for the intelligent life that controls the spacecraft, they can only be regarded as 'semi-intelligent life' for the time being. They are all considered a ray of eternal division.
program', and are not afraid of death.
Cooperating with Li Shu and the Weilong unmanned fleet, there was also Huang Fei's legion. Taking advantage of the Skynet system, Huang Fei began to advance the front line step by step in a planned manner. With an upright attitude, he squeezed the enemy's
living space, causing strong psychological oppression.
With the Skynet detection system, the Minghui Empire was ambushed in many sneak attacks. Huang Fei also created many "spies", which caused a lot of impact on the Tianshui Empire.
In response, the Tianshui Empire also "identified many spies" from the captured Huang Jian's legion and publicized them.
Faced with the Tianshui Empire's move, Huang Fei immediately launched a response strategy: We have detained Huang Jian, the general manager of the "problem fleet". What about you? Your general manager of the "problem fleet" seems to be still at large.
So far, I have not heard of any important military officers being detained by the Tianshui Empire.
This move was a bit heartbreaking. But having said that, since Huang Fei dared to make a move, he was naturally prepared. And because Huang Jian was detained, the counterattack was even sharper.
Since his 'research' at Dayang Group, Huang Fei has learned the idea of information warfare - the core of a war of words is not to curse (which will arouse the same hatred of the enemy), but to make something out of nothing, draw inferences from one instance, and make a point!
Use evidence-based and clear methods to discredit the other party, confuse the public, shake the other party's internal trust, etc.
Sometimes in order to better confuse the other party, you have to learn to use "unnecessary" abilities!
After all, the Minghui Empire has a strong foundation. With the pressure from Li Shu and Huang Fei on the Eastern Front, and the support of the Great Xia Empire, the Western Front quickly took a breather and began to plan to rebuild the first line of defense and move forward for five more years.
Ten light years.
Especially when Li Shu commanded the unmanned fleet to launch a suicide attack, the Tianshui Empire suffered a huge loss.
After the last raid on the western defense line of the Minghui Empire, the Tianshui Empire also thought that the Minghui Empire would counterattack, so it was well prepared and even more prepared to ambush again.
But what they didn't expect was that since they wanted to set up an ambush, there would naturally be a lot of legions and they would have to gather together! So, this was not an opportunity!
Li Shu took advantage of this. Of course, there was also an unmanned fleet that was not afraid of casualties and took the initiative to get into the encirclement. Then at close range, there was a battleship-to-battleship exchange of fire.
This time the ambush was in the third star cluster affiliated with Juutongue Star Officer. Originally, Li Shu decided to raid here even without the request from the Minghui Empire. However, after receiving the request from the Minghui Empire, Li Shu adjusted the battle slightly.
Way.
First, it was confirmed that there was indeed an ambush here, and then Li Shu decided to try a super bold attack plan - actively entering the ambush circle.
It is a good tactic to ask you to enter the urn, but the premise is that your 'urn' is strong enough! Otherwise, if you burst yourself, the loss will be huge.
For example, a broken 'urn' will obviously not be complete and orderly. The same is true for the fleet. Once someone breaks through the encirclement, the encirclement may fall apart and completely lose its unity. At that time, the fleets that were gathered together would instead
It’s easy to become someone else’s pet.
This is what Li Shu had in mind. The remaining 1.6 billion unmanned warships in his hands are the most favorable guarantee for attacking and surrounding them.
There have actually been quite a few intermittent wars over this period of time. The Tianshui Empire is not a soft persimmon, and there are still counterattacks. Li Shu has also suffered a lot of losses one after another.
The subsequent development was indeed the same as Li Shu's plan - except that the losses were a bit bigger.
In this 'ambush', the unmanned fleet lost as much as 700 million. However, the 300 million elites and one billion ordinary fleets that the Tianshui Empire came to surround lost more than 100 million elites, and more than half of the ordinary fleets were lost! The Tianshui Empire was the last to fight.
Had to take the initiative to retreat.
This is the so-called fear of being stunned if you are too arrogant, and you are afraid of losing your life if you are stunned!
As a result, in the end, the unmanned fleet chased the enemy for trillions of kilometers, resulting in less than 300 million of the billion-strong ordinary fleet escaping. And most of those who escaped were the kind of 'deserters' who retreated in an orderly manner.
, were all overtaken - ordinary warships could not escape the pursuit of unmanned warships.
But those who scattered and fled were actually deserters. Li Shu not only did not chase them, but took the initiative to let them go.
Of course we cannot accept deserters. But the enemy's deserters... the more the better! As long as you dare to escape, I will let you go! You will never attack. That's why 300 million ordinary fleets escaped.
After this war, less than half of Li Shu's Dragon Fleet was left. The 2 billion fleet at the time of departure now has less than 900 million left.
But the remaining 900 million drones have already frightened the Tianshui Empire.
This ambush caused the Tianshui Empire to lose its troops. Less than 170 million of the 300 million elites returned. Many warships needed overhaul. Warships hit by rail guns cannot be solved by ordinary overhauls!
After suffering this big loss, the Tianshui Empire's military strategy also began to change. They also gradually began to try the idea of blitzkrieg and tried a purely elite fleet. The ordinary fleet stayed at the defense line.
At this point, the Tianshui Empire and the Minghui Empire fell into a stalemate. The two sides had many small collisions, with each other winning, losing, and hurting each other, but they entered a relatively calm stage. As everyone knows, this is probably the calm before the storm.
In fact, everyone is also paying attention to the sudden war between the Beifeihu Empire and the Longyuan Empire. Reinforcements from the Tianqi Empire and Tianchi Empire are already on the way.
But these reinforcements did not arrive at the imperial capital of the Longyuan Empire, but at the front line. Even the reinforcements from the Tianchi Empire were not allowed to pass through the imperial capital, but went straight to the front line in a circle.
Due to the distance, it will take about 20 days for reinforcements from the Tianqi Empire to arrive. However, the Tianchi Empire is a little far away and has had a feud with the Longyuan Empire since ancient times, so the movement is even more delayed. In addition, it has to go around in a circle, so the time given is
Two months.
To be honest, two months has been very efficient.
But on Dugu Junjie's side, because the fleet technology is more advanced and the super beasts have been strengthened through cultivation methods, even if they advance at half speed to preserve their combat effectiveness, it is estimated that it will only take 12 days to reach the 700 light-years above Linhuang Mansion.
.
What will follow will be a full-speed sprint, estimated to take five days - if everything goes well.
During these 17 days, the legions stationed on the front lines of the Tianqi Empire and the Longyuan Empire obviously had no time to withdraw. As for the legions of the Tianchi Empire, needless to say, it seems that it is definitely too late now.
The vast starry sky is the best cover. The fleet advancing in the 'outer space' does not attract any attention at all. In fact, more than 1 billion battleships and more than 200,000 behemoths sound like a lot, and they are indeed a lot. Added together,
The mass is at least the mass of 35 planets with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers.
But in the vast starry sky, this mass is really not enough. The mass of a medium gaseous planet is seventeen or eighteen times the total mass of the fleet. Even a gaseous planet is insignificant in the vast starry sky.
Not to mention that more than 1 billion warships and more than 200,000 behemoths are cleverly dispersed, forming a formation with a front-to-back distance of more than 5 billion kilometers and a width of more than 2 billion kilometers. The mass is dispersed, and the impact is smaller. Plus all
Spaceships and battleships have turned off their lights and turned on their stealth formations, making them even more difficult to detect.
Under such conditions, it took the fleet only 11 days to reach the first predetermined position - directly above Linhuang Mansion. However, there is no so-called up and down in the interstellar world, and it does not matter if it is directly below. Anyway, it is the direction perpendicular to the disk of the large galaxy.
superior.
The reason why the time moved forward by a day was because Dugu Junjie saw that the road was safe and sped up a little. After the fleet arrived at the first scheduled position, Dugu Junjie gave everyone a half-day off to rest, drink some wine, and prepare.
After a small get-together, everyone meditated together for half a day to adjust their mental state to the best state. The fleet finally started to sprint.
Forward! Forward! We must move forward all the way and never stop! We must overthrow Linhuang Mansion before the enemy's reinforcements arrive. The time is expected to be less than 8 days! If it exceeds eight days, it will likely fall into a stalemate and the fleet will fall into the enemy's hinterland.
and heavily surrounded.
The fleet and the behemoth combine to form a super battle formation. This battle formation has strong defensive capabilities, but more importantly, the behemoth and the fleet are combined into a whole:
Use the giant beast's ability to jump through the stars to hurry up, and use the fleet's acceleration ability to speed up.
In this state, the fleet's forward speed will be slightly slower, and the overall progress will eventually be affected; but it will not be too slow. After all, it will have a technical advantage.
There is another problem: once it forms a whole, the mass is greater, and the space fluctuations during movement are a bit large, which makes it a bit ostentatious. But Dugu doesn't have a good solution.
If they do not form a whole, they will be easily defeated individually. The technology of the battleships and the abilities of the behemoths are different. If they do not form a whole, they cannot form a unified battle formation and cannot advance as a whole.
Although it's a little arrogant to move forward like this, I'm arrogant, you bite me~
Because the forward speed is too fast, exceeding the speed of light, coupled with sophisticated calculations and powerful intelligence work provided by the Bei Feihu Empire, coupled with the crazy war on the front line, it is actually a cover, and the fleet has been safely advancing for about 380 seconds.
Light years.
Dugu Junjie was a little stunned.
It was less than 330 light-years away from Linhuang Mansion when it was discovered by a very small fleet on routine patrol - only five small spacecraft in total.
This ultra-small fleet was very lucky, because the Blue Star Group coalition forces were advancing too fast and could not stop at all. So this small fleet was safe like this, witnessing the huge fleet suddenly jumping out of the void, then accelerating crazily, and then again
Entering the space-time jump, it just disappeared from sight.
Utilizing the space jumping ability of the behemoth, the fleet can move forward at a very good speed.
In the expedition fleet, a giant beast is at least 8,000 kilometers away, and has undergone complete spiritual modifications and scientific and industrial modifications. Battleships are generally only a dozen kilometers away. A large number of battleships surround the giant beast like satellites, forming one whole body after another.
Then more than 200,000 giant beasts surrounded each other to form a larger whole. This whole just rolled forward.
It wasn't until the Blue Star Group's joint expedition fleet disappeared for a long time that the captain of the patrol team exclaimed, "No, there is a strange fleet heading straight for Linhuang Mansion. Report the situation to the rear!"
The soldiers next to him were hurriedly sending messages, and the team leader continued to speak blankly, or perhaps to himself: "Which of you just saw clearly how big the fleet is?"
Another little guard next to him also said blankly: "What a big... ball. I didn't see it clearly, but it seems that there are many giant beasts in the starry sky, forming a 'ball' with a diameter exceeding the diameter of a star!"
The message was sent out quickly, but the message delivery process was not very efficient - the country has been at peace for a long time, who would have thought that a huge 'legion' would suddenly appear here. Such efficiency is inevitably lower.
When the news finally reached the Linhuang Palace, it was already a day later. At this time, the fleet had already reached the first line of defense outside Tianhuang Star Palace, which was less than 80 light years away from Linhuang Palace.
At this time, more news has been flowing into the palace; critical intelligence, battle reports, and warnings are flying in like snowflakes.
The Emperor of the Longyuan Empire was a little numb in shock: "Where did this... fleet come from?"
Wu Qian, the commander of the Imperial Guards who had just arrived next to him, was already anxious: 'Your Majesty, no matter where the fleet came from, it's obviously coming from a bad person! Order the attack quickly!'
