Chapter 242: The Battle Situation Develops
In the territory of the coastal planet, the battle has been going on for several hours, and the alliance's confident attack has also lost its original edge due to the continuous surge of Zerg from inside the planet, and the warships have been seriously injured and falling, and a tug-of-war is inevitable.

And the time-consuming tug-of-war is exactly what the alliance wants to avoid. They have gathered too much strength for this battle, and they are only doing to ensure that their side can fight quickly.
In order to complete the task assigned by the upper peak, as the main force on the assault front, those heavy warships no longer care about their own defense, and began to concentrate on strengthening the attack and advancing speed.
In the face of such a first-line unit that sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, even if the results they achieved were not good, it was really difficult for the command headquarters to supervise them, not to mention that people with a discerning eye could also see that the reason why the battle situation became such a situation had nothing to do with these front-line officers and soldiers who fought bloodily.
The royal fleet came quickly, rushed to the range boundary of the alliance fleet that was being assembled, and directly carried out a wave of firepower output, which made the alliance that had not yet completed the formation a mess.
The fourth detachment is currently the most intact detachment in his hands, and with the addition of the fifth detachment, the entire detachment has reached one hundred and thirty warships, and these warships are still almost able to annihilate the Wang family's detachment, but if they only carry out the blocking mission, they can still easily do it.
The majority of Area X is composed of a large meteorite group, which is very unfavorable for the operation of large warships such as the royal fleet, which facilitates their evacuation.
Soon, the coalition army completed its assembly and began to retreat in accordance with the formation, and the fourth detachment that left behind the resistance also retreated while fighting, following the pace of the large army, slowly approaching the X area.
Although the performance of the warships on the side of the royal fleet is superior, the number is too small to confront them at all, and they can only watch the alliance fleet disappear one after another in the meteorite group in the X area.
"Let's get away with it!" In the command center of the Wang family, Su Qingxuan was looking at Zhang Yunfan with a gloating expression, just now, under Zhang Yunfan's personal command, most of the alliance's fleet withdrew into the meteorite group in such a grand manner, and successfully completed the retreat operation.
"Isn't there another detachment at that end of the meteorite swarm? Turn them over! Zhang Yunfan said.
"That fleet is smaller than the one just now, can they hold back so many warships?" Su Qingxuan asked.
"It's okay! As long as you can drag them out of space jumping! Zhang Yunfan said. You should know the characteristics of the chain battle array, that is, one link after another, and there are three lines of defense behind those three fleets! ā
"That's true, yes!" Su Qingxuan shrugged. "However, I'm sorry to tell you that there was a problem with those battleships when they were assembled, and they couldn't reach the battlefield on time!"
"Oh~~" Zhang Yunfan didn't say anything about it, his eyes refocused on the projection in front of him, and slowly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "If you can't get there, forget it, how long will it take for the other departments to arrive?" ā
"Twenty minutes...... What's wrong? You don't want the main fleet to chase it, do you? Su Qingxuan was a little surprised. Impossible! The Alliance fleet can break away from the meteorite group in ten minutes, and the space jump can be carried out in three minutes, and if you want to chase it, you can only chase it into the alliance's defense line! ā
"So there's a lot more to learn!" Zhang Yunfan said lightly: "The meteorite group is very dense, which is very unfavorable to the actions of these large warships of our Wang family, I believe that even the commanders of the alliance can easily observe this problem!" ā
"That's right! Huh~~ You mean......" A bright light flashed in Su Qingxuan's eyes.
"Yes!" Zhang Yunfan nodded. "Do you think a commander who has already suffered more than half of the casualties, but is still willing to seize the opportunity to attack, will give up this opportunity to ambush?"
"So what are you going to do? Will it be counted? Su Qingxuan asked.
"The alliance fleet is only more than 300 warships at full strength, and it would be a shame if such a big gap in combat power was playing any tricks!" Zhang Yunfan said. "Just push it without brains!"
"Didn't you say that Area X is not suitable for large fleet operations? Why do you have to assault head-on! Wang Xian, who had been listening, asked puzzledly.
"Since what you can think, the commander of the alliance is probably the same!" Zhang Yunfan replied. "You haven't seen the Grand Fleet, and you don't know the limits of the power of large-caliber naval guns! It's not enough to just see the gunfire of a low-level battleship! ā
"That's right! 356mm, 280mm and calibers below this are indeed difficult to use in this area, but this does not include ships above 400mm! Su Qingxuan added. Large-caliber naval guns like those on the Nightwind-class battleships can completely ignore the effects of these terrains, and the laser beams fired can directly pass through the meteorite and hit the enemy ship! ā
"Wouldn't the Alliance think so? What if they knew in advance? Will there be an early evacuation? Wang Xian asked.
"I don't know...... Maybe! Zhang Yunfan replied simply. I can't do everything right, either! ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
In about twenty minutes or so, the main battleships of the Wang family finally arrived and dispersed directly, scattered on the periphery of the meteorite group.
However, they did not rush into the meteorite group, first releasing a small camouflage reconnaissance electronic eye from the battleship, allowing it to explore the way ahead, and the battleship was behind it, keeping a certain distance from it.
The one hundred and fifty Nightwind-class battleships of the Wang family slowly entered the meteorite group, while the nearly eighty high-speed cruisers that had suffered losses after the last great battle were arranged to patrol freely as a mobile fleet on the periphery to prevent the alliance fleet from escaping.
Sure enough, after early exploration, the royal fleet quickly found the trace of the alliance fleet.
When the alliance fleet entered this meteorite group, the commander-in-chief Lin He's mind changed again. In his opinion, this narrow area, which is naturally suitable for ambushes, is an absolute weapon against large warships like the Wang family. As long as he relies on this meteorite group, he can attack and retreat, and he has no scruples at all.
As Zhang Yunfan said, he did not take into account the huge changes brought about by the caliber of naval guns.
If the Wang family enters this area, he can use this location to fight an ambush on the other side, and once the battle situation is unfavorable, he can also use the meteorite group as a cover and retreat calmly. And if the Wang family didn't enter, then there would be no other loss on his side except for a little delay.
Moreover, if the main fleet of the Wang family retreats, his side can also attack the rescattered royal fleet again. After the battle just now, I believe that this time it will be successful. Therefore, Lin He did not choose to retreat, but stayed.
But such a stay directly blocked the last trace of safe passage for the alliance fleet.
