088 Interstellar Blitz
After taking Houghton and annihilating the Fourth Legion of the Praetorian Guard, Lin Fan's battle plan entered the second link, interstellar blitzkrieg!
Its core strategy is to make full use of the high mobility of the curvature engine, and quickly take down Lils and Coelio before the Oaks Empire can react, completely isolating the hinterland of the Oaks Empire from the outer frontiers.
After all, according to the information obtained, in the hinterland of Oaks, there are only 200,000 guards in the capital area and 100,000 defenders of Rao.
Lin Fan was confident that he would completely sweep through these areas within three months, and by the way, he would take Rao and completely besiege the Oaks capital area.
On the second day after the total annihilation of the Fourth Legion of the Praetorian Guard, the interstellar blitzkrieg kicked off directly!
Lin Fan and Liang Xingchen led the fleet to Lils and Coelio respectively, while Jiang Hai left 5,000 warships to garrison Horton, and then divided into three groups with five sub-fleets and swooped straight into the three star systems around Horton.
Lils and Coelio are located close to the Io-Ian Federation, and there are not only many star systems on the periphery, but also a frontier legion stationed on the outermost side of the territory.
Therefore, these two are low-risk areas, and there are not many defenders, each with only 10,000 warships.
Twelve days later, the First Fleet under Lin Fan's command arrived at Lilles 19.2 light-years away, easily routed its defenders, and left 5,000 warships to garrison.
Immediately after splitting the fleet, he launched an attack on the surrounding star system.
Fifteen days later, the Fourth Fleet under the command of Liang Xingchen arrived at Coelio, 24 light-years away, and with only 10,000 defenders, it was very easy to take the star system.
Then, according to the plan, 5,000 warships were also left, and then quickly pounced on the surrounding star system.
For a time, in the hinterland of the Oaks Empire, a blitzkrieg in the interstellar era was completely launched.
Takes advantage of the curvature engine's unmatched interstellar speed, the ultra-high defense of the Energy Shield, and the slow communication speed of the Oaks Empire.
Before Ramiro and Ross could receive any information, they swept through the surrounding star systems.
During this period, almost every 2 or 3 days, a star system will be incorporated into the hands of the Human Federation, which is evident in the speed.
Until the 32nd day of the interstellar blitzkrieg, the 15 star systems in the hinterland of the Oaks Empire, except for the Oks in the Capital Circle and Rao in the confrontation with Tianyuan IV, the remaining 13 star systems have all fallen into the hands of the Human Federation.
The capital area of the Oaks Empire has become completely isolated, however, at this time, Ross has just received a message from Issa.
After reading the content, Rose's face changed drastically, and he immediately ran towards the palace!
"Your Majesty, it's not good, something big has happened!"
"Royalty, what's wrong? Could it be that the Kabat Empire has broken through Horton? ”
Looking at Rose's pale face, Ramiro was also taken aback.
What happened to scare Uncle Huang like this? Could it really be that Horton was breached?
If Horton is gone, then the empire will be half finished!
"Your Majesty, this is a message from Isa, take a look!"
As he spoke, Rose began to operate, and after a while, the audience room played the last video message that Isa's had recorded.
It's okay not to look at it, but at first glance, I was shocked by the information inside.
"Uncle Huang, is this information confirmed?"
"I know Isa, he doesn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, Your Majesty, this is a message sent by Isa more than a month ago! The human fleet, with its curvature engine and energy shield, will definitely not stay in Houghton this month! ”
"Uncle Huang, do you mean that the star systems near our capital area are likely to have all fallen?"
"Your Majesty, that's what I meant, if my guess is correct, we're probably an island here!"
Ramiro looked incredulous, there was no warning, and you suddenly told me that except for the capital area, it is likely that all of them have fallen?
Are you sure this isn't a joke?
Looking at Ramiro's somewhat disbelieving expression, Rose shook his head and sighed.
It would be terrible if it was what I thought.
Besides, what a desperate situation it would be like this to have an iron-blooded soldier like Issa, who was not even afraid of death, send a message to persuade the emperor to surrender before he died!
"Your Majesty, I think the most important thing at the moment is to confirm the situation, I have sent a message to all the star systems in the hinterland of the empire before I came, let them report the situation, several star systems directly connected to the capital circle should have information within a week, but if not.... Please also consider Commander Aisa's final suggestion! ”
"Uncle Huang, you!"
Ramiro was furious, and Rose even told himself to consider Isa's suggestion!
What is Isa's suggestion? Surrender yourself! I am the emperor of the Oaks Empire, and you told me to surrender to the human race? Or even a subordinate civilization of humanity, if it is possible?
How can you say this kind of thing?
Looking at Ramiro as he was about to erupt, Rose sighed and continued.
"Your Majesty, I naturally hope that everything is my crankiness, but if it is true, then nothing is more important than the survival of the empire!"
"Get out!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Get me out!"
Ramiro shouted so loudly that even the guards outside the audience could hear each other clearly.
Everyone was speculating about what had happened, and it was the first time that His Majesty had yelled at Lord Ross like this.
Although the emperor was tyrannical, he had always respected his royal family and had never seen a situation like today.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll report back to you when the news is confirmed!"
When Rose had finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and withdrew.
Looking at Rose as he left the audience room, Ramiro's eyes were cloudy.
Want me to surrender? Even if the speculation just now is true, it is absolutely impossible, I would rather lead the entire empire to destruction together, and it is impossible for me to surrender to the humans who killed Doron!
Just when Ramiro became more and more crazy, Lin Fan and the others did not stop.
Each of the three fleets left 5,000 warships to guard the outer node star system, and the rest of the world left only a mech brigade to garrison.
After all, as far as Oaks uses the marching speed of the Star Path, it is absolutely impossible for the Guards Legion to appear outside the capital area in more than a year, so the star system that is not an external node only needs to leave a group of mecha troops for the time being, and it is also necessary to prevent the resistance on the planet where the fleet has not been cleaned up.
After arranging the garrison of each star system, the three fleets each rushed to Rao with 15,000 warships, a total of 45,000.
