The Imperial forces on the ground are gradually tightening the encirclement network, intending to annihilate the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force team hiding in the jungle in one fell swoop.

Although Stanton led the team to launch a wave of breakout charges and take out one or two AT-AT Pacers, it was still a drop in the bucket for the entire battlefield situation.

The Imperial Army was supported by a steady stream of reinforcements and armored troops, but the casualties of the expeditionary force soldiers were mounting and the ammunition was running out.

Especially after the death of Stanton, Lieutenant Colonel Yang Rui took over the command. What was before him was a dire situation, the troops were short of guns and ammunition, the wounded were left unattended, and the enemy attacked again, not knowing how to respond.

At that moment, a figure descended from the sky and fell straight into the ranks of the Imperial forces.

I saw a flash of blue sword light, and the neck of an AT-AT Imperial walker broke in response.

The massive skull, containing the cockpit, two heavy laser cannons, and two blaster rapid-fire cannons, slid off the flat section like a massive falling rock, killing the hapless Imperial Stormtroopers below.

This figure is none other than Qiao Lu, who jumped from the tower fort, relying on the symbiote-armored jet device to glide all the way here to join the surrounded Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force team.

On the other side, 2B and Genji also committed suicide, breaking the encirclement network of the Imperial Army from both flanks, and cooperating with the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force to fight a wave of central flowering, successfully repelling the attack of the Imperial Army again.

Qiao Lu wielded a lightsaber to fight his way out of the encirclement, and finally successfully rendezvoused with the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force team.

It's just that when he saw that it was not the original Colonel Stanton who was in charge of the command, he couldn't help but ask:

"Where's Stanton?"

"He died." Yang Rui replied with a little sadness, and then his eyes fixed on Qiao Lu and saluted:

"Lieutenant Colonel Yang Rui of the Orbital Airborne Army of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force is taking over the command, please instruct!"

"Yes."

Qiao Lu glanced at the rest of the people, half of the dead had passed, and the rest of them were still wounded, and it was already a miracle that they could continue to fight.

At this time, the commotion above caught their attention, and it was the fleet of the Rebel Alliance attacking Scarif's planetary shield field.

Although the sound could not be transmitted, the ripples on the shield caused by the laser cannon were clearly visible on the ground.

A large number of Rebel Alliance's X-wing fighters fought fiercely with the Empire's TIE fighters, and the red and green laser beams intertwined in the dark space, making it a dazzling sight to behold, and a magnificent sight to see on the ground.

"Is that our reinforcement?" Yang Rui asked curiously. As far as he knew, the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force should not have been equipped with such X-wing fighters.

Compared with single-shot laser cannons, the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force prefers extremely fast aviation cannons and densely launched cluster missiles, and will not use this kind of laser weapons that look quite small.

Qiao Lu nodded and said, "That's right, our reinforcements have arrived." ”

Above Scarif's orbit, the X-Wing fighters were entangled like annoying flies with the Reich-class Star Destroyer, and for the Rebel Alliance, which was not very strong in industry, these X-Wing fighters were the backbone of their fleet.

They are known for their pair of X-shaped wings, with four identical laser cannons scattered across the wingtips, and proton torpedoes against large targets, but the warheads are relatively expensive and generally not used lightly.

The X-Wing's high maneuverability and biased shield make it a good survivability against the Imperial Star Destroyer.

The Empire-class Star Destroyer's shipboard weapons, such as the Heavy Turbocharged Laser Cannon and the Turbolaser Turret, will always have a sense of being a cannon hitting mosquitoes when facing these X-wing fighters like a swarm of bees, and can only be counterattacked with a point defensive laser cannon.

However, the firepower of the X-wing fighter is not to be feared by the Imperial-class star destroyer. Even if it is a proton torpedo, it has to hit the vital point to be able to cause damage, and it can only be said that each other cannot help each other's situation.

In contrast, the Reich's TIE fighter was much faster and more agile, and the dual-ion engine fighter was able to catch up with the X-wing fighter in terms of maneuverability, but the lack of a bias shield made it more vulnerable, and a single inadvertent abrasion could destroy a TIE fighter.

Its only advantage is that it is extremely cheap, and it can not be worth as much as a few Imperial Stormtroopers, so it always swarms out like locusts when it fights, and it fills the entire battlefield in an instant.

The main result of the Rebel Alliance was to shoot down these TIE fighters, as it would not be easy to take out an Imperial Star Destroyer.

In addition to the X-Wing fighters, the Rebel Alliance's fleet consisted only of small ships such as corvettes, light cruisers, and vigilant escorts.

The smallest is only a few hundred meters, and the largest flagship heavy cruiser, the Radus, is only about 3,000 meters long, and it is the only warship that can compete with the Empire-class Star Destroyer.

However, there is far more than one Imperial Star Destroyer, and follow-up reinforcements continue to arrive. The Rebel Alliance has only one Radus, and no matter how you look at it, you don't have much chance of winning.

For this reason, Admiral Radus of the Rebel Alliance decided to do his best to find a way to break the shield and find a way to get the blueprints of the Death Star.

It's a pity that their firepower is really weak, and even with all their strength, there is still no sign of being able to break through the planet's shield force field.

As more and more Imperial Star Destroyers arrived, the disadvantage of the Rebel Fleet would only become greater, and so far they had not been able to destroy any of the Imperial Star Destroyers, how could they imagine being surrounded by an Imperial fleet composed of Star Destroyers?

As long as the density of fire reaches a certain level, the maneuverability of the X-wing fighter is meaningless.

Just when they were at a loss, several Imperial Star Destroyers in front of them were suddenly pierced by the fire from a distance, and the armor, which was difficult for even proton torpedoes, was pierced and torn through a large hole like a blank sheet of paper in an instant.

After these fires penetrated the Imperial Star Destroyer, they still fell on Scarif's planetary shield force field, and the untouched shield of the rebel fleet was distorted and deformed, almost shattered.

Admiral Radus of the Rebel Alliance was stunned by this scene, what could destroy several Imperial Star Destroyers so lightly, and then almost break Scarif's planetary shield force field?

If it weren't for the attack on the Imperial Star Destroyer, which caused the power to be spread out to several points, this round of bombardment would have been enough to destroy Scarif's planetary shield!

The Rebel Alliance definitely does not have a weapon with such powerful firepower, what is it that has turned the situation in front of them in one fell swoop?
