120 Strategic Retreat
The last node of the Cloister of Seris, Serbia.
Now in the void here, various beams of light and energy bombs are constantly flashing, and the exchange of fire between the two sides is extremely fierce.
Originally, at the exit of the Way of the Stars, 200,000 warships of the Io Federation were struggling to block it, and another 100,000 warships were rushing to the defense line of the Way of the Stars, trying their best not to give Wells a chance to establish a bridgehead at the exit.
However, the defensive advantage of the Io Federation did not last long, and it was lost only when it eliminated the 50,000 warships of the Viles Legion, after all, Serbia was not Horton, and the star path between Serbia and Seris was very wide, enough to support thousands of warships marching at the same time.
Therefore, when it is not possible to completely clear each wave of enemy ships that descend, the enemy ships at the exit of the Star Path will accumulate more and more, and eventually form a strong bridgehead.
Once the bridgehead is formed, Wells can easily defeat the Fifth Legion of the Io Federation with his superior numbers and ships stronger than the opponent.
At the same time, in a virtual conference room.
"No, the other party has already established a bridgehead at the Xingdao Pass, and I can only hold out for 2 hours at most."
Joanna's face was bitter, the current situation was very clear, the other party was going to attack regardless of casualties, and Joanna was most afraid of this, after all, she couldn't compare to the other party in terms of the number of battleships and the performance of the battleships.
Moreover, the most important thing is the morale problem, the defenders in Serbia did not hear the name of Wells without changing color, and the title of Ceris Demon is not called in vain.
In addition, the other party is from ten deaths to life, opening up a path of nine deaths and one life, all warships, all soldiers have completely become outlaws.
At the exit of this narrow Star Road, there are not many tactics to speak of, once the bridgehead of the attacking side is erected, everyone will compete in the future who has more warships, whose firepower is stronger, and whose will is stronger!
Unfortunately, all three of Joanna's Fifth Legion were inferior.
"Commander Joanna, I advise you to retreat and abandon Serbia for the time being! Drain your Fifth Legion here, and get nothing! It will also take the lives of many angels in vain! ”
Li Cangqiong glanced at the Serbian Star Way tactical image shared by Joanna and spoke.
He could already see that if this situation continued, the Fifth Army would eventually be doomed to total annihilation, and at most it would only be able to destroy 15 to 200,000 warships of the Wells Legion.
"Retreat? If I retreat here, it's all defenseless areas behind! ”
"So, even if you hold out for 2 hours and then be completely wiped out, can you change the reality of defenselessness in the rear?"
"This..."
Joanna wanted to refute, but didn't know how.
He understood that what Li Cangqiong said was the truth, and if he continued to hold on, he couldn't get anything, and he couldn't change anything!
Can as the commander of the Io Federation, let him run away as soon as he starts? It's somewhat...
"Commander Joanna, I remember that your warships still have some advantages over the warships of the Oaks Empire, such as speed!"
That's right, although the warships of the Io Federation are significantly weaker than the warships of the Oaks Empire in terms of attack power and defense.
But only the speed of the battleship is much faster than it, it can reach a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second, which is even 2,000 kilometers per second faster than the current Snow Leopard-class battle cruisers of the Human Federation.
"What do you mean?"
At this time, a figure appeared in the conference room again, this is the new angel queen of the Io Federation, and the former leader of the Third Legion, Elfi!
"Li Cangqiong, this is the current queen of the Io Federation, Her Majesty Alfi!"
"Hello, Her Majesty Queen Elfi!"
"It's okay to be polite, now the situation is urgent, this person seems to have the idea of breaking the game just now, please hurry up!"
Even though Elfi became the queen, she still maintained the style she used to have as a legion commander, and she was resolute.
"Well, now that the Fifth Army is holding on to Serbia, according to my estimates, it will be completely wiped out in two hours at most, and it will only destroy about 15 to 200,000 warships of the Wells Army, which is very unwise from the perspective of war."
"My idea is that Commander Joanna can use his speed advantage to decisively abandon Serbia and retreat to the rear galaxy when the other side has established a bridgehead and his advantage is lost."
"According to the star map, there are two star systems connected to the rear of Serbia, namely Hirsey and Mihorton, which are 0.2 and 0.3 light-years away from Serbia respectively."
"Commander Joanna can lead the Fifth Legion to retreat to Hilsay and re-establish the defensive line, Wells wants speed now, his first target is definitely on Hilsay, but to be sure, Commander Elena can lead the fleet to set off for Mihorton immediately!"
"We're heading for Hills, but of course, we may not be able to catch up with the speed, after all, it takes about 27 days to get from us to Hillside!"
"But it doesn't matter, if Wells arrives in Hirsey before we arrive, then Commander Joanna can use the advantage of the Star Path to kill him with tens of thousands of more warships, and then continue to retreat when the other party has established a bridgehead."
"Everyone needs to see our advantages, that is, there is strategic depth, there is backup, there is supply!"
"And what about Wells? He can only go all the way, there is no rear, no supplies, and no support! Just 500,000 warships, well, it should be 420,000 warships now! ”
"Therefore, don't fight hard, if the first line of defense is not good, the second line, and if the second line is not good, the third line, in fact, even if there is no us, just the fifth legion, you can use the speed advantage and the initial advantage of the way of the star defense to eat the Wells legion little by little."
Li Cangqiong finished talking about his tactics in one breath, in fact, his strategic thinking is very simple and direct, since his side has depth, and every star system has the initial defensive advantage of the Star Dao, then why not take advantage of it?
When you have a defensive advantage, destroy the opponent's tens of thousands of warships, and then quickly retreat, continue to arrange the Star Road defense line at one node, and rely on the depth to eat the opponent alive.
If you don't do it yourself, the Third Legion of the Io Federation will not be on it, and the Fifth Legion alone will be able to consume the Wells Legion!
And since the loss of Seris, the entire miracle star field has become a high-risk star field, most of the people here have long been evacuated, and few angels have been willing to immigrate to this star field for decades, so there are not many people at all, and even the trouble of large-scale evacuation of people is saved.
The most important thing is that Wells wants speed now, to break through all the way as fast as possible, so he simply has no time to waste destroying planet by planet.
For the Io Federation, it is just a matter of giving up some territory in a short period of time, and it will be recovered after a few months, and there will not be much actual loss.
After listening to Li Cangqiong's words, Alfi pondered for a while, and then spoke to Joanna!
"Commander Joanna, I order you, in my capacity as the Queen, to immediately lead the Fifth Legion to retreat to Hirsai and rearrange the Star Path defense!"
