The fleets on the first line of defense have been fighting for eight hours.
Although there is such a big killer weapon as Chaos Ray, it cannot be used by the first line of defense.
After all, recharging also takes time. If the first line of defense is used up, the subsequent lines of defense will have to wait twelve hours for recharging before they can be used.
If there is an emergency and the charging is not completed, it will not be good.
Therefore, the first line of defense is assigned only three opportunities to fire.
But now, these three opportunities have been used up, and the Norea Empire fleet at the entrance of the passage has gathered more and more, with the number exceeding one hundred legions.
"Commander, the base camp ordered us to abandon the first line of defense and retreat to the rear to rest."
"Understood, order all fleets and warships not to turn around, but to retreat in an orderly manner while maintaining firepower."
"Yes, Commander!"
This retreat is also very particular. If you turn around and run away, there is a high probability that the opponent will chase you and hit you.
By the way, take advantage of this opportunity, use your retreating fleet as a cover, rush into the second line of defense to engage in a melee, and provide more time to assemble at the entrance of the passage.
However, Wang Hai would not give them this opportunity.
Although the speed will be much slower if we don't turn around and retreat, it doesn't matter.
As long as the firepower is maintained, the opponent cannot directly attack, and the second line of defense can be handed over smoothly.
At the same time, the alliance fleet base camp.
"Marshal, Wang Hai's fleet has begun to retreat."
"Well, have the first phase of battle damage statistics been completed?"
"Alright, Marshal, in the first stage, our fleet lost 68 warships and legions, and the local fleet lost 335 warships and legions!"
"Sure enough, relying solely on the alliance fleet is still a bit reluctant!"
After eight hours of fighting, the damage was almost 1:5, but Lin Fan showed that he was not very satisfied.
However, the fleets deployed in the first line of defense are all Alliance warships, not Federation warships.
In terms of combat power alone, although the combined battleship is slightly stronger than Norea's, its strength is limited.
After the opponent's fleet increases in number, our own losses will naturally increase as well. It would be great to achieve this result.
About ten minutes later.
The fleet on the first line of defense commanded by Wang Hai has retreated behind the second line of defense, and the defenders of the second line of defense immediately took over the battle.
Of course, since it is further away from the cross-border passage, there are more fleets on the second line of defense.
There are a full 500 legions, and there are 200 legions behind the defense line as reserves, which can fill the vacancies in the defense line at any time. The commander is Lin Yu.
Like the first line of defense, there are no federal warships here. They are all composed of joint warships from various alliances.
Five hundred legions versus 120 legions.
The troops that the Norea Empire had managed to close together were once again pulled apart.
The advantage of having fewer troops is formed instantly.
Lin Fan's goal for Lin Yu was to hold on to the second line of defense for at least 2 days and eliminate more than 1,000 of the opponent's legions.
At the same time, five Chaos Ray Carriers will be authorized for his use.
In two days, the Norea Empire can roughly transport 2,000 legions through the cross-border channel.
Although 700 legions versus 2,000 legions seems a bit unrealistic.
but...
The 2,000 legions of the Norea Empire did not arrive all at once, but gradually arrived over the course of two days.
Therefore, at least on the first day, Lin Yu will always have the advantage in military strength.
Gu Yan
As for the second day, the ability of the frontline commanders will be tested.
Generally speaking, it is not difficult to defend for two days. What is difficult is how to kill the opponent's more than a thousand legions.
After all, considering the number of legions, even if the command ability of 700 legions is poor, they will not all be annihilated in two days.
You know, the reason why Wang Hai was able to kill more than 300 legions in eight hours was because he blocked the opponent at the entrance of the passage and the other was because of the support of Chaos Rays.
The Norea Empire does not carry this kind of...
Strategic super weapon.
------
Soon, another whole day passed, and 32 hours had passed since the beginning of the war.
Within this day, basically the development was as expected by Lin Fan.
With the strength advantage and five Chaos Ray carrier ships, although the battle damage was higher than the first eight hours of the first line of defense, it still achieved a score of 1:3.6.
The Alliance lost 149 legions, and the Norea Empire lost 536 legions.
But as the battle on the second line of defense entered its second day, the fleet gathered by the Norea Empire was almost on par with the Alliance fleet on the defense line.
Strength advantage...
There are almost none left.
However, Lin Yu has been holding back, waiting to give the Norea Empire a hard blow.
"Commander, Chaos No. 1 to No. 5 have all moved into position!"
"Is the enemy making any moves?"
"No, it's still the same as before, keep the front side open horizontally!"
"Very good, notify the fleet on the ray to avoid it immediately!"
"Understood, the order has been issued and is expected to be completed in 57 seconds."
If we want to describe the current battlefield, then the Alliance has deployed a network defense structure with the cross-border passage entrance as the center.
As for the fleet of the Norea Empire, it faced the center of the defense line and spread out horizontally.
Logically speaking, this is not a very good formation, but why did the fleet of the Norea Empire choose this method?
This is about the trap that Lin Yu spent a day setting.
During this day, each of the five chaos ray carriers in Lin Yu's hands conducted two rounds of fire, which meant that they attacked ten times.
And this kind of strategic-level weapon is also something that the Norea Empire is paying special attention to now.
Then, it is obvious that the Norea Empire will definitely make various corresponding arrangements for this weapon in order to minimize casualties.
So, Lin Yu made a decision.
Ten shots were fired, all from the center of the defense line!
Since then, unknowingly, a wrong thinking has been left to the Norea Empire, that is...
The enemy's super weapon is permanently installed, but on the second line of defense, it is only driven in the center of the line of defense.
Therefore, after seeing this "weakness" of the Alliance fleet, the frontline commander of the Norea Empire immediately made adjustments, completely facing the center point of the defense line, and then spreading it horizontally.
In this way, the chaos rays on the Alliance's side can at best open a hole in its fleet and will not cause too much damage.
In the last two of the ten firings, the damage caused by the two rounds of irradiation did not even reach the level of five legions.
And this also proves the correctness of their tactics.
But they didn't know that all of this was just a trap set by Lin Yu.
