Volume 1 Chapter 85 The Spark Li Yuanben's choice
General Dinan looked at the four wormholes near his encirclement and was really puzzled, could it be that the encirclement and suppression were successful so quickly? According to the news sent by Rear Admiral Helt before, it will take at least five days, so how to explain the wormhole in front of him, the scale of the wormhole tells him that this is less than the size of four standard fleets, could it be that Rear Admiral Helt really completed the task ahead of schedule? This is very likely, Rear Admiral Helt asked the human fleet to put on a very big anger before, and it is also in his temper to complete the task ahead of schedule, but the final result will not be known until they come out.
"General! The human fleet has a new move," shouted Adjutant not far from Admiral Dinan.
General Dinan really has a headache for this human fleet, and he obviously used three fleets of the Kajia tribe plus two Esside tribal fleets to complete an all-round encirclement that is almost iron-clad, but the other party can always find some trouble for himself, but fortunately, his encirclement is in place, otherwise it is really possible to run away from this human fleet.
The core of his entire encirclement is a sphere less than a light year in diameter of the human fleet, and this range is still shrinking under his continuous efforts, and around the core of this sphere is his iron bucket array, a large circular net woven with dense interference wormhole jump equipment, in which his five fleets are evenly distributed, if the human fleet wants to pass through this net, it must use the fleet's own engine and the time needs a full ten hours, which is enough for him, Because under his arrangement, the human fleet will inevitably be attacked by at least two fleets in less than five hours after entering the defensive network, and two more fleets will join after two hours, and one fleet will be five hours later at the latest.
But under such a near-perfect defense, he still suffered a loss, before there was a human fleet of three battleships out of front of one of his main fleet, about two hours away, he did not hesitate to order the fleet to take the initiative to attack, but it turned out to be a trap of the other party, the three battleships were just a decoy, the human fleet hid five battleships behind it, at that time he didn't know how the human fleet managed to hide the fleet, As a result, he lost three cruisers and fifteen frigates, and if it hadn't been for the quick arrival of the support fleet, the human fleet took the initiative to withdraw from the battle, and he was afraid that his fleet would have lost battleships.
After that, General Dinan completely gave up the active attack, and honestly narrowed the encirclement, but this did not go very well, every time he sent a frigate to deploy jamming equipment, he could always encounter a lot of drones to interfere, but after all, in such a large range, the human fleet still can't interfere everywhere, time is standing on him, and the big net woven by the jamming equipment will be set around the neck of the human fleet sooner or later, and the antimatter of the human fleet will be exhausted after this consumption, And in many battles, he finally discovered the flaw in the hidden technology of the human fleet, or the jamming device, which was originally only by restoring the distribution of dark energy in the universe to interfere with the formation of the wormhole, and the monitoring function was added in the later improved version, although it was only a small function, but the human fleet completely lost the opportunity to use the method of hiding the fleet to escape, the hidden technology is not omnipotent, and it still shows its original form under the high-density surveillance of so many jamming devices.
"General, what are you thinking?" The adjutant reminded himself of the somewhat distracted general.
"Oh! What's going on? General Dinan smiled with relief and ended his thoughts, looked at his adjutant and asked.
"General, their movement this time is a bit big, and they have not yet entered the detection area of jamming equipment and started to clean up with drones, although they have turned on the kind of shield that is free from detection, but judging from the number of drones, there should be at least four battleships, so ......," the adjutant analyzed.
"So you think they're going to be breaking through, not the kind of temptation they had before," General Dinan said.
"Yes, I think they also detected the four wormholes, so they chose the direction of the penetration on the opposite side of the wormhole, which also confirms that they are penetrating from the side, but in this case, they will not have a chance after our fleet converges."
"Well, there is some truth in your analysis, but if that's the case, then it's not interesting, the other commander is not stupid, I think this is just a trick, the fleet you see now is definitely not a whole formation, it must be hidden somewhere in another fleet"
"That'...... If that's the case, if they break through from the opposite direction, our fleet won't be enough, and it will leave a big defensive vacuum for the other side."
"Hehe, I've thought of this a long time ago, why don't you have ten hours of jamming equipment defense network, order the fleet of the Ethiopian tribe not to move, the nearest Kaja fleet rushed over to intercept him, and the other two fleets gave me a two-hour delay to leave, but the target is not the enemy fleet but the periphery of the encirclement, and stop there after three hours of sailing"
"General! Do you mean that you want to let them go, and if the other party does not implement the division of troops under such an arrangement, some of them will run out," the adjutant asked puzzled.
"Run, run, how many can they run out, where can they run out, you take a good look at my arrangements for the fleet, if the other party is really desperate to put the fleet here, even if I make such an arrangement, I am afraid they will not be able to run a few, at most we will lose a fleet, and they will be completely annihilated"
"Wait, I'll calculate the time carefully, if you follow this arrangement, we will definitely know the details of this outstanding fleet in five hours, if the enemy fleet is full and we lose one fleet, the other two delayed fleets will arrive in less than four hours, not counting the fact that it takes at least an hour for the human fleet to destroy a fleet, our fleet can definitely snipe him in the defensive net."
"And what if the human fleet chooses to divide its forces?"
"If we divide our forces, it will be meaningless in the face of this kind of deployment, the fleet that divides our forces is not the opponent of one fleet at all, its purpose is only to attract support from other fleets, but we didn't go to support, we just leaned back, which has no chance at all for another hidden fleet"
"Well, yes, you fully understand the core of my deployment, now it depends on what the human fleet is."
And just over two hours later, when Li Ao saw that the two enemy fleets responsible for supporting did not choose to attack the salient fleet, he ordered the assault fleet to quickly withdraw, and his move from the mountain was a complete failure.
"General, they retreated, and it seems that their plan has completely failed," the adjutant said with joy.
"It seems that the commander of the human fleet still wants to run out of more warships, otherwise he will not take the method of dividing the troops, I guess the other commander did not expect that I would really have the intention to let them go, after all, it is still possible to run out of some warships if the concentrated fleet is strong."
"Yes, I completely agree with your judgment"
"But that's all for later, anyway, we're not in a hurry now, once the fleet on the other side of the wormhole arrives, what awaits the human fleet will be completely destroyed."
"Exactly, how should the fleet be deployed now?"
"Raise vigilance, restore the previous deployment of the fleet, replenish the jamming equipment destroyed on the human road, we rely on this to limit the human fleet, and we want everyone to work hard for a day, as long as we hold on until the support arrives, we will launch a general attack"
Everyone in the command of the human fleet Li Ao was depressed, the previous assault plan had completely failed, Li Ao kept comforting everyone, and now he had to implement the final evacuation plan and the most dangerous plan.
"Okay, don't be discouraged, cheer up, now we can only implement Plan B, I believe everyone knows the danger of this plan, so please prepare early, especially the fleet responsible for the broken must do a good job of evacuating personnel"
"Commander Li Ao, I still ask to be the commander of the Broken Fleet," Li Yuanben said.
"This ...... It's really hard for me to agree to your request, I can't explain to the leader if something happens to you," Li Ao was a little embarrassed.
"Nope! You have to listen to me, the leader's fleet has not had any news for more than a month, I think you know very well what this means, and the appearance of those four wormholes shows that Li Jiben's fleet is probably also more than lucky, so at this critical juncture, we may be the only flame of the human fleet, I beg you to take this fleet out"
"This doesn't conflict with your departure," Li Ao continued.
"Li Ao, you are really a genius, I really don't praise you, everyone present must have the same feelings as me, not to mention that we have zero casualties in the battle along the way, who can do this kind of command" As Li Yuanben's words fell, everyone in the command headquarters nodded in agreement.
"That ......"
Li Yuanben stretched out his hand to signal Li Ao that he didn't need to explain anything, and then said: "This fleet needs anyone with combat effectiveness, only in this way can it go further, so I, a big idler, should give full play to my strength, don't underestimate me, I have also commanded battleships."
"That's not going to work either! I must not fail the leader's entrustment," Li Ao retorted resolutely.
"Li Ao! Do you think you're commanding me, you look at the captain next to you, who can't give me a few thin noodles, okay, it's decided, I'm saying that I have too much apologies for the leader, so he can look at me a few times."
"What do you say, the leader definitely trusts you very much"
Listening to Li Ao's words, Li Yuanben had to smile bitterly, the matter between him and the leader was only a few people knew, after joining the fleet fighting behind enemy lines, he had already held the determination to die, then again, who is not, but under the magical command of the leader later, and under the extraordinary performance of the fleet, he saw a glimmer of hope, maybe this fleet can really create a miracle, and then after the leader's division of troops came out, he came to Li Ao's side, he knew the leader's intentions, it was to let him assist Li Ao well, This can be seen from the fact that the fleet assigned to Li Ao by the leader is the best performing captain this time, but it is a pity that the leader's fleet suddenly disappeared, and in his heart he has already decided that the leader's death will die, but he did not give up hope, because he found a genius, a real genius.
Li Ao's performance along the way can no longer be described as amazing, it is a miracle, a miracle, a real miracle, he not only gave full play to the advantages of his own fleet's speed and flexibility, but also took advantage of the contradiction between the Kajia fleet and the Ethiopian fleet responsible for the local defense, not only successfully got rid of the encirclement and interception of the three Kajia fleets in the rear, but also eliminated an Ethiopian fleet in the case of almost no damage to his side.
He ordered the fleet to fully mobilize the local guerrilla forces on various habitable planets, and turned the habitable planets in the entire human fleet activity area upside down, and the three battleships also plundered the museum at some time, if it weren't for the restrictions of antimatter, they could have absorbed more, and the Ethiopian fleet had to divide its troops to suppress the resistance movement in full swing, but this fell into Li Ao's strategy, as long as the Ethiopian fleet was not strong enough, he would take the initiative to attack, During this period, he even used a false report to ask the enemy's small fleet to be ambushed, after the Ethiopian fleet lost their only battleship, they wisely chose to retreat, the Ethiopian fleet and Li Ao's human fleet fought for so long, and the fight was not good, but this rapid retreat was very slippery, which also required Li Ao's human fleet to begin to reduce in the subsequent operations, while the three Kajia fleets that had been following behind had maintained their full combat strength, invisibly constantly putting pressure on Li Ao's human fleet.
The Ethiopian fleet wisely chose to concentrate its forces when it saw that it could not do both, and did not pay attention to the rebellions that occurred on various habitable planets to concentrate on the human fleet pursuing Li Ao, and Li Ao, who saw the rapid development of the situation, chose to wait, he had to wait for his opponent to make a mistake, but unfortunately Li Ao made a wrong judgment this time, or if the human fleet could not eliminate the pursuing enemy behind him, it would inevitably come to this point, and the gradual reduction of antimatter would inevitably affect the mobility of the fleet, Time is always on the enemy's side.
Just as Li Ao was waiting for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, using all the warships to concentrate on destroying the enemy's standard fleet and creating a more relaxed combat environment for his fleet, a bad news reached him, the enemy not only regrouped the two Ethiopian fleets, but also used a jamming device to form an encirclement ten light-years away from the outer periphery of his fleet.
Li Ao really regretted that he had not been at the beginning, if he had launched an attack earlier to destroy an enemy fleet, it would not have caused the difficult situation now, and if the human fleet at this time rashly forced through, there would be an embarrassing situation where there was no antimatter use just after rushing out of the jamming network, now he can only wait for the encirclement formed by the jamming equipment to shrink some enemy fleets and concentrate more, and then wait for an appropriate time to break through the blockade in one fell swoop, and then he can only choose to hide the fleet, and then he will go to find the leader, he firmly believes that the leader must still be alive, Because the battle behind enemy lines is far from over, the flag planted by the leader of the human fleet on the planet Ossinai shows his determination, and he believes that the leader will hold out until the last moment.
