Hand-to-hand battles are always extremely cruel, especially after Li Xingqi ordered the formation to be contracted, the fleets of both sides were entangled in a very limited area, and no one could easily leave.

Previously, the two sides fought for two weeks without any results, and today's battle immediately caused a lot of damage to both sides.

This situation was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Jin, he didn't expect Li Xingqi to dare to be so tough, originally he was just trying to test the loyalty of the Thunder Dragon Fleet, but it turned out to be a war of attrition in close quarters.

However, things have happened, and Zhang Jin can only find a way to deal with the situation in front of him first.

"Out of the armor troops! Hit me hard! The harder we are, the less they are our opponents! Zhang Jin loudly cheered up the soldiers through the internal broadcast.

The current situation is somewhat unfavorable to Zhang Jin, although the troops invested by the two sides are about the same, but the difference in tactics gives Li Xingqi's side a numerical advantage in a short period of time.

As the vanguard, the Thunder Dragon fleet took the lead in breaking through the opponent's military formation, but the follow-up fleet was entangled with Li Xingqi's fleet and it was difficult to get out of trouble.

After the Thunder Dragon fleet breaks through, it must accelerate forward, and then turn around and go back, it is impossible to turn around on the spot, only going back in a circle is the fastest way.

Therefore, what is now entangled with Li Xingqi's fleet is actually two-thirds of the entire fleet, and Li Xingqi's side is the whole.

Although such an advantage will not last long, in this kind of brutal battle like a meat grinder, a short period of time can cause a lot of losses.

Of course, Li Xingqi understood this, and he took advantage of his local advantage to order the fleet to open full firepower and consume the other party as much as possible.

Under the command of Li Xingqi, his fleet was completely desperate, not only with full firepower, but also sent out as many mecha troops as he could, as if he was going to fight Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin was frightened by this desperate posture, he didn't plan to fight Li Xingqi today, in fact, it was in his best interest to prolong the war, and a quick victory was what Li Xingqi wanted.

"Hell! The efficiency of the Thunder Dragon fleet is also too poor! Give them the order that within half an hour they must complete the U-turn and participate in the battle! Zhang Jin sprinkled all the anger in his heart on the head of the Thunder Dragon Fleet.

Zhang Jin stubbornly believed that if it weren't for the fact that the Thunder Dragon Fleet had spent too much time to complete the turnaround, his fleet would never have fallen into such a passive situation.

The order was conveyed, and Zhuang Sheng, the commander of the Thunder Dragon Fleet, was actually very anxious, originally just wanted to scare and scare Li Xingqi, but he didn't expect Li Xingqi to dare to fight like this, but it made Zhang Jin's side fall into passivity.

However, it is not so easy for the fleet to turn around, it has to be accelerated, and then a little bit of turn, and a big circle back, usually it takes an hour or two.

The giant battleship in the universe is not as simple as driving, it involves many complex technical details, in fact, Zhuang Sheng has done his best to reduce the time spent in this process, but there are some things that cannot be interfered with by human beings.

Zhuang Sheng urged his men to keep the time as short as possible, while keeping a close eye on the situation on the battlefield, at this time the fleets of the two sides were still densely entangled, and from a distance, it seemed as if countless stars were constantly twinkling.

However, Zhuang Sheng knew that these flashes of light, which looked bright and moving, were actually battleships that had been blown up, and every flicker of light meant that a large number of soldiers had lost their lives in battle.

Zhang Jin looked at the increasing loss numbers on the big screen, his heart was already bleeding, these ships were his capital, and once he lost it, it would take a long time to make up for it.

He was not ready for a decisive battle, but now that he saw that the losses were so serious, Zhang Jin had no intention of fighting any more, he just wanted to leave the battlefield immediately and reorganize the fleet.

"It's all because of the Thunder Dragon Fleet, otherwise why would there be such heavy losses! Damn it! The anger in Zhang Jin's heart became more and more intense, and he had already subconsciously regarded the Thunder Dragon Fleet as the reason for all this.

Zhang Jin said sharply: "Order, all ships try their best to break out of the enemy formation, now is not the time for a decisive battle, get out of the battlefield as soon as possible!" ”

When the surrounding officers heard this order, they were all a little worried in their hearts, and they were afraid that leaving the battlefield desperately would cause even greater losses, and the general was really anxious.

However, what Zhang Jin said was an order, and no one dared to disobey, so all the ships no longer followed the original queue and formation, and began to find a way to get out of the current situation.

Li Xingqi saw that Zhang Jin was already in a hurry, and began to desperately want to leave the battlefield, so he ordered: "Let them go, don't be too entangled, today is not a decisive battle." ”

Although it caused a lot of losses to Zhang Jin's fleet, the losses on Li Xingqi's side were not small, after all, this was a hand-to-hand combat, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, which really forced Zhang Jin to be anxious, and no one could take much advantage.

I saw that Li Xingqi's fleet began to expand the formation while fighting, leaving room for Zhang Jin's fleet to have a gap to break away, so that the other party would not grit his teeth and fight desperately.

As Li Xingqi's side expanded the formation, Zhang Jin's fleet suddenly felt much less pressure, and the captains seized the opportunity and immediately accelerated out of the battlefield.

When the entangled military formations of the two sides gradually separated, the Thunder Dragon fleet finally arrived, but Li Xingqi was very experienced, and divided the original formation into two, accelerated and flew in different directions, preparing to circle back in a big circle.

The Thunder Dragon Fleet had the opportunity to follow and pursue from the rear at this time, but because Li Xingqi divided the fleet into two parts, once the Thunder Dragon Fleet pursued too much, it would be easy to be surrounded by the fleet that had come back from the other part, and it would fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

Because the Thunder Dragon fleet only pursued for a while, it took the initiative to give up, and turned around and rushed to the large force that was regrouping in the distance.

"Li Xingqi is really amazing!" Zhuang Sheng stood on the command seat of the bridge and sighed: "When retreating, you can still leave the means to counterattack at any time, and you can indeed be called a famous general in the world!" ”

The officers beside Zhuang Sheng also admired Li Xingqi's performance, and praised one after another: "This Li Xingqi does have the ability, no wonder he can rise so quickly!" ”

"Yes, I didn't believe it before, but today it's not easy!"

"It's rare that Li Xingqi is only in his thirties, and his future must be unlimited!"

While Zhuang Sheng and the others were full of praise, Zhang Jin's side was furious, and the preliminary loss statistics had come out, Zhang Jin's fleet had lost nearly 18% of the ships, while Li Xingqi's side had a loss rate of about 10%.

When Zhang Jin saw this number, he was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand to the ground, and scolded: "Damn! It's all to blame on the Thunder Dragon Fleet! If it weren't for their slow progress, how could we have suffered such a big loss! I'm going to have to fix it! ”

Zhang Jin's gang of people knew his temper very well, once he lost the battle, Zhang Jin would definitely find his subordinates, but fortunately, this time Zhang Jin pointed the finger at the Thunder Dragon Fleet.

These people are secretly glad that this time the pot will be carried by the Thunder Dragon Fleet, and we can just take less responsibility.

So someone added fuel to the fire and said: "The general is right, if it weren't for the Thunder Dragon Fleet to delay the fighters this time, we would have had every chance to form a flank attack!" ”

"That's right, the general's tactics are very ingenious, and if you suffer a loss, you will suffer from the Thunder Dragon fleet, and the combat effectiveness and execution of this fleet are really enough......"

With everyone's fanning of the flames, Zhang Jin was even more sure that the responsibility was on the Thunder Dragon Fleet, he had doubts about the Thunder Dragon Fleet, and now he had a deeper impression.

Zhang Jin asked angrily, "How much has the Thunder Dragon Fleet lost?" ”

The officer in charge of the statistics replied: "Their losses were minimal, less than 5 percent. ”

"What?" Zhang Jin was suddenly stunned after hearing this, this loss rate is indeed very small, and it is a little abnormal.

Seeing that Zhang Jin suddenly fell silent, everyone didn't know what he was thinking, but they were afraid that Zhang Jin would praise the Thunder Dragon Fleet, so that there would be no place for him to shake off this pot.

Therefore, everyone began to raise doubts in unison: "This is too little, not normal!" ”

"That's right, it's really abnormal that the assault troops who fought the vanguard lost fewer losses than us."

"Could there be any problems? Why did the enemy not fight the Thunder Dragon Fleet, and specifically hit our fleet? This is so abnormal! ”

The more everyone said, the more it seemed to be true, as if they had already mastered the secrets of the Thunder Dragon Fleet, and they were just waiting for Zhang Jin to make a judgment.

The doubts and worries in Zhang Jin's heart quickly fermented into real distrust under the addition of everyone. Originally, he was angry, but now the more the audience said it, the more it seemed to be the real thing, and it seemed that everyone had already noticed that there was a problem with the loyalty of the Thunder Dragon Fleet, and now he finally said it.

"Humph!" Zhang Jin suddenly sneered twice and said, "I have long found out that there is a problem with the Thunder Dragon Fleet, but I didn't expect that as soon as I made a real move today, they would be exposed!" ”

When everyone saw that Zhang Jin was already suspicious of the Thunder Dragon Fleet, they suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and now this cauldron Thunder Dragon Fleet is on their backs.

I heard Zhang Jin say: "Pass my order, once the Thunder Dragon Fleet returns, let Zhuang Sheng come to see me immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The herald agreed, and immediately sent Zhang Jin's order to the Thunder Dragon Fleet.

At this time, the Thunder Dragon fleet had already approached the location of the large force, and Zhuang Sheng suddenly received an order from Zhang Jin, asking him to rush to Zhang Jin's flagship immediately.

Zhuang Sheng didn't suspect anything, after such a fierce hand-to-hand fight today, there must be many things that need to be summarized and discussed, which is completely normal.

Zhuang Sheng said to his subordinates: "The rest is up to you, I'm going to rush to Zhang Jin's flagship for a meeting." ”

"Okay, General!" Zhuang Sheng's subordinates said in unison.
