Rumble!

The entire battleship shook violently, forcing Duke to hold on to the console in front of him with both hands, and also withdrew his gaze from looking outside.

"What time is it?" He asked lightly, his face, which was already naturally a little gloomy, became even more gloomy because of the battle going on outside, and even his voice was a little lower.

A soldier on the side immediately responded: "5:37, sir, 15 minutes have passed since the battle began!" ”

"15 minutes? It's already the appointed time. Duke muttered to himself, "However, Qin Yuanshan's kid is playing tricks, I can't worry about it, so I'll buy you more time!" ”

He suddenly looked up at the herald beside him and said: "Pass my order, let the soldiers hold for another 5 minutes, and after 5 minutes, take the battleship as a unit and land freely towards the lower Famsta, and there is no need to assemble after landing, so as to maintain the main combat strength, fight separately, and wait for the order!" ”

"Yes!" The herald quickly moved forward to deliver the order.

This battle was fought very hard, this is inevitable, although in the face of the Fifth Support Fleet of the Argus Empire that pursued Qin Yuanshan, the Duke Fleet, which had joined with a part of the Fourth Expeditionary Fleet warships, had to occupy some advantages in terms of number and strength, and it was a sudden attack, which caught the other party off guard, but don't forget, behind them, there was also a Fourth Expeditionary Fleet of the Argus Empire that had been entangled with them for many days!

After the initial Shun, the Second Expeditionary Fleet led by Duke soon fell into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy from both sides, but fortunately he had already prepared for it, and had already reserved a part of the warships to guard the rear of the fleet when he launched an attack on the Fifth Support Fleet of the Argus Empire.

It was these warships that successfully blocked the first and most powerful wave of attacks of the Fourth Support Fleet of the Argus Empire, allowing them to successfully pull the enemy's two fleets into the quagmire of melee, giving Qin Yuanshan a lot of time to go to support the planet Rebeta.

However, this kind of containment is at the cost of the flesh and blood of the soldiers, with a little more than 1 fleet, facing the two integrated fleets in the locality, and it is still attacked by the enemy, it can be said that Duke is in an absolute disadvantage, every moment there are battleships hit, every moment there are soldiers die!

However, the vice admiral, who has always liked surprise soldiers and has always avoided frontal battles, and the fleet he led showed amazing resilience at this moment, and even under such a disadvantage, they still dragged the enemy for more than 15 minutes, and their own damage was still within an acceptable range, if this battle spread, Duke's reputation would definitely rise, and even his ranking on the list of famous generals could rise a little.

But these are obviously not what he wants to think about at this time, what he wants to think about is how to lead his troops to successfully escape from the enemy's pursuit after delaying enough time!

A general's ability, of course, is to strategize before the battle and decide the outcome without a fight, but at the same time, it is also a manifestation of the improvisation in the battle, and this time, Duke has a far surprising improvisation ability that surpasses the previous one!

In the original plan, it should have been that after enough time had been delayed, the entire fleet would be scattered and leaned towards the Planet Rebeta, because according to Qin Yuanshan's estimate, this time was enough for them to finish the battle on the periphery of the Planet Liberta, and then go back and clean up the two support fleets of the Argus Empire.

But at this moment, Duke completely vetoed the one that Qin Yuanshan had set before, and instead ordered the fleet to forcibly land, which has to be said to be a risky act, but it is also the most appropriate behavior at this moment!

The reason is simple.

After the initial precise attack of the Third Expeditionary Fleet led by Qin Yuanshan, and after so many days of occupation, there is almost no guard force of the Argus Empire on the entire Farmstad planet, so if you land here, you don't have to worry about being hit from the ground.

At the same time, this planet is not small, if you act on the planet with a warship as a unit, the enemy in the air will not be able to do it at all if you want to aim and carry out a precise strike similar to the precise positioning before the Kona Federation, and even they dare not directly attack the Kona Federation army that fell on the ground from the air, because if you are not careful, it is very likely to attack civilians, with the power of the warship's naval guns, one shot down, the dead people are not as simple as a few dozens.

Faced with this situation, all the Argus Imperial fleet could do was to follow the landing, and then either destroy the enemy on the ground or force them into the sky again to solve it, but no matter what they did, Duke's purpose of delaying time was achieved.

Even after such a long time, maybe the Planet Rebeta has already ended the battle and rushed over to help.

And the only danger of doing this is that during the process of landing, during the time between entering the atmosphere and landing, there is no fire support from the ground or space, and the battleship is almost a live target, and Duke's way to deal with this situation is to completely disperse the entire fleet, and the more scattered the targets, the better.

At this time, he also showed his ruthless side, because this order meant that in the process of landing, some people would inevitably fall victim to the artillery fire of the enemy fleet! Even the flagship in which he himself is located may well become the first target of the enemy!

But Duke didn't care, or when he gave this order, he had already figured it out, what he had to do was to sacrifice the lives of a small number of people and save more of the fleet's strength!

"Sir, it's been 5 minutes!" The soldier on the side suddenly reported, dragging Duke back from the battle in outer space once again.

Duke nodded and said, "Follow the order, get out of the battle, start landing, put away all your weapons, and channel all your energy into the energy shield!" ”

"Yes!"

The heavy battleship, which was still in the midst of fierce battles, suddenly turned, accelerated violently, and with its powerful outer armor and energy shield, it smashed through the three enemy warships that were blocking its way, and rushed towards the atmosphere of the planet Farmstad.

"Are they trying to escape?" On the flagship of the fourth support fleet of the Argus Empire, the colonel, who was the commander-in-chief, looked at this scene and muttered, and then said in horror: "They want to force a landing, damn it, they can't let them land so lightly, pass the order, all the fleets will fire to the maximum, give me a hard beat!" ”

The artillery fire in space did not weaken by the ceasefire retreat of one side, but became more and more intense, and the battle here is still stalemate, and I don't know when it will end......
