Maybe Wilvis really lacks experience in large-scale interstellar wars, especially in this type of battle for ocean currents, which is almost zero.
But it is undeniable that Wilvis is not a mediocre person. Otherwise, the Silas fleet would not have lost just 20 million battleships in the attack just now.
This result also surprised Lin Kexin.
Except for the first five hours, when the enemy seemed to have no command and was quite chaotic, in the following period, the fighting was remarkable. If nothing else, at least the marching formation was well-organized.
As for why the other party was relatively confused in the first five hours, Lin Kexin could actually guess the general reason. After all, in the special environment of cosmic ocean currents, commanders are generally not placed at the front of the fleet.
Of course, Lin Yu's unreasonable behavior does not count.
Then this question is interesting. As for Lin Kexin himself, after discovering that the opponent was a ninth-level technological civilization, he made many targeted arrangements, which actually included interfering with the mouth of the ocean current so that the opponent could not
Smooth operation of the hyperdrive.
This is just the most basic. It should be said that no matter which senior commander of the Federation comes, he will do this as soon as possible.
And this is the so-called interstellar war experience.
However, the other party did not do this, which allowed his ten zero-point missiles to break in so easily.
He obviously has a strong fleet command ability, but there are omissions in this most basic place...
This is really strange!
In the end, Lin Kexin came to the conclusion that the opponent's commander was a very capable commander, but also a commander with almost no experience in large-scale interstellar wars.
Only in this way can this contradictory situation be explained!
Of course, there are ways to test whether this is the case, such as...
Holding her chin with her right hand, Lin Kexin couldn't help but think so.
"Well, that's it!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Kexin suddenly had an idea. However, before implementing it, he needed to further confirm whether his guess was correct. The simplest way to confirm is...
"Combat team, prepare ten zero-point missiles again, launch them immediately after preparation is completed, and attack the same coordinates as last time!"
"Yes, Commander!"
A few seconds later, ten missiles were quickly fired from the belly of the battleship again. However, when they flew a certain distance and started to start the hyperspace engine, something abnormal happened.
A special energy directly interfered with the running hyperspace engine, preventing it from starting normally.
"Commander, the zero-point missile hyperspace engine failed to start. The reason is unknown!"
"really...!"
After hearing the report, Lin Kexin was not surprised at all. This proved that the other party's commander was indeed not mediocre. Even if there were omissions due to lack of experience, he immediately reacted after being used by himself once, and then
This omission was blocked and did not give me a second chance to succeed!
Lin Kexin couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth as she looked at the Silas fleet that had restored its array and was lying like a tortoise.
It's really bearable...
No, this guy must be eliminated first, otherwise his steady and steady approach may be fine in the short term, but over time, the defense line will be in danger.
For Lin Kexin, what he hopes most now is for the opponent to rush out instead of staying there all the time. If they can get enough numbers and then concentrate on rushing out to form a single point of breakthrough, the entire defense line may really be destroyed.
It was completely torn apart.
After all, in order to maintain enough firepower to form an all-round blockade of the ocean current outlet, Lin Kexin deployed a cluster of five fleets directly centered on the ocean current outlet to form a hemispherical defense line.
In other words, while forming sufficient firepower, the thickness of the defense line is also sacrificed. No matter which point on the defense line is attacked by the opponent, it will definitely be like paper and be broken with one poke.
Therefore, when communication cannot be carried out inside and outside the ocean current, Lin Kexin believes that as the defender of the ocean current exit, the best way is to kill the opponent's commander and let the fleet fall back into chaos without commander-level command, or even complete commandlessness.
state.
The idea was good, but the thick turtle formation in front of her really gave Lin Kexin a headache. What she hated the most was this capable but very cautious commander, who made Lin Kexin feel like she had no idea where to start.
"How long does it take for the Nether Fleet to arrive?"
"Six minutes, Commander!"
"Well, order the first and second fleet groups to give up the defense area and thicken the array in the remaining defense areas of the defense line!"
"No, Commander, doesn't this give the other party a chance to rush out?"
The adjutant was immediately shocked. Now the entire defense line relied on all-round strikes to form a dense firepower network, thereby blocking the opponent at the mouth of the ocean current.
And what are the 1st and 2nd Fleet Groups responsible for?
That is the most critical central area of the entire array, located at the central point of the hemisphere. If these two fleet clusters are withdrawn, it will be equivalent to leaving a big hole in the defense line of the entire hemisphere. This is not laissez-faire.
Did the opponent break out of the encirclement?
"Have you forgotten the scheduled arrival location of the Nether Fleet?"
"Commander, what do you mean..."
"Yes, that's what I mean. Send a message to Wang Hai, send him the location of the other party's flagship, and tell him that I have already set up the stage for him. How he wants to perform depends entirely on him.
!”
"Yes, Commander!"
At the same time, 2 au away, the location of the exit of the cosmic ocean current.
"General Wilvis, the opponent's formation has begun to change. It is speculated that they are preparing to give up part of the defense area to thicken the array in other defense areas!"
In the bridge, the adjutant reported this information to Wilvis immediately after the Dreadnought Fleet began to mobilize.
Frowning, Wilvis was a little confused about the other party's tactics.
It stands to reason that the previous hemispherical defense line was definitely the most oppressive deployment for one's own side, but what are you doing now? Have you removed all the defense areas directly in front of you just to strengthen the thickness of the array in other surrounding defense areas?
This is somewhat unreasonable!
"General, I think this is an opportunity. No matter what the purpose is, as long as we attack forward now, although we will suffer heavy losses due to the attack from other surrounding defense zones, the opponent will definitely not have enough time to re-block this gap. At least we will have
There’s an 80% chance that you can stand out!”
The deputy looked at his unresponsive general and was a little anxious. The fighter plane disappeared in a flash, so why did he speak again?
In his opinion, even if the other party had some plans, the warships that had gathered here quickly protruded, and the other party would never have enough time to move those fleets back.
Moreover, once you successfully stand out, you can turn around and form a pincer attack on the enemy's defense zone with the fleet coming out of the ocean current. This is definitely a rare opportunity!
How could Wilvis not know what the adjutant was thinking? To be honest, he was a little moved.
