Chapter 355: The battle is deadlocked

After a period of stalemate, Li Xingqi thought of a way, on the one hand, he sent a reserve fleet to threaten the War Horse System to achieve the role of containment, but the rebel fleet stationed in the War Horse System did not dare to leave easily.

On the other hand, Li Xingqi let several of his fleets break into the Lion King system from different directions, making it difficult for the rebels stationed to deal with themselves.

However, the rebels were very strategic and experienced in defense, and Li Xingqi's methods did not stump them, on the contrary, the weaknesses in Li Xingqi's tactics were seen through by the other party at a glance, and they quickly seized the opportunity.

Instead of placing both fleets near the colonized planet for defense, as Li Xingqi expected, the rebels adopted more proactive tactics.

The two rebel fleets acted together and launched a fierce attack on one of Li Xingqi's fleets, because Li Xingqi let the four break into the galaxy from different directions, resulting in a long distance from each other, unable to rescue each other, and had to fight alone.

However, the rebels seized one point, and with the numerical superiority of the two fleets, they attacked one of Li Xingqi's fleets, and needless to say, the result was naturally defeated by Li Xingqi's fleet.

Having defeated one of the fleets, the rebel fleet immediately turned around and hurried towards the second target, and soon the second fleet of Li Xingqi encountered the same situation.

The two fleets of the rebels surrounded Li Xingqi's fleet and stormed, but fortunately, the admiral of the fleet was very experienced, and when he realized that the situation was wrong, he immediately changed the original battle plan.

Taking advantage of the fact that the fleet was not surrounded by the rebels, the fleet admiral immediately relented, leaving a part of the fleet to continue to resist, while he led most of the warships to escape, and finally was not annihilated by the rebels.

Li Xingqi's other two fleets successfully reached their target, including the fleet under Li Xingqi's own command.

According to the original battle plan, Li Xingqi's two fleets successfully entered the orbit of the planetary winged lion, and theoretically speaking, this can be regarded as occupying the planet.

Although there are many rebel ground troops on the Winged Lion, they cannot pose a threat to Li Xingqi's two fleets, and as long as Li Xingqi is willing, it only takes a short time to turn a planet into a devastated scorched earth.

However, Li Xingqi came here for the sake of the richness here, so naturally he would not do such a thing that harmed others and himself, and he ordered the rebels on the Winged Lion Star to surrender immediately through an open radio broadcast.

But these rebels turned a deaf ear to Li Xingqi's orders and did not respond at all, which made Li Xingqi a little helpless.

So Li Xingqi had no choice but to send ground troops to occupy important cities on this planet. As soon as Li Xingqi's ground troops arrived, they immediately encountered a powerful ambush, and the two sides fought very fiercely, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

Li Xingqi sent air forces to strike, but these rebels were more slippery than loaches, and as soon as the air troops arrived, they immediately scattered in all directions, and all of them hid in the city.

Unless Li Xingqi ordered the city to be blown to the ground, it would be difficult to completely wipe out the ground forces of these rebels, so the ground war was pulled into the way they were good at it.

Li Xingqi didn't have much time to spend here, one of the four fleets he brought was disabled and had lost its combat effectiveness, and the remaining remnants had to return to the Sea Eagle Galaxy first.

The other fleet lost nearly a third of its strength due to the admiral's wise decision, so Li Xingqi ordered this fleet to temporarily stand by on the outskirts of the galaxy.

Although the other two fleets controlled the Winged Lion Star, they had not yet achieved the real occupation, and at this time, there were still two colonial planets in the Lion King System waiting for Li Xingqi's attack.

After defeating Li Xingqi's two fleets respectively, the rebels' two fleets did not directly rush to the rescue of the Winged Lion, but returned directly to the White Lion Star for defense.

Now that each side has two fleets in the galaxy, the military strength has become evenly matched, and Li Xingqi's numerical advantage has been gradually dissolved.

This result makes it difficult for Li Xingqi to accept, he has such a big advantage, and now he is just a draw with the other party. Although the rebels lost a colonized planet, they didn't seem to care much about their appearance, not to mention that it would take a lot of work for Li Xingqi to completely occupy this planet.

The rebels did not take the initiative to attack, Li Xingqi decided to continue to march to the White Lion Star after resting, the battle has reached this point, whether it is to stop or retreat, it means defeat, and he can only grit his teeth and knock down the entire galaxy.

A few days later, Li Xingqi's two fleets arrived near the White Lion Star, and the rebels' two fleets had long been in battle, apparently intending to defend here.

White Lion is the best developed planet in the Lion King system, and it has a complete and good industrial system, not only can produce various weapons, but also has as many as five space cities in orbit.

These space cities themselves have strong defensive capabilities, and with the strengthening of the rebels in recent years, they are actually military fortresses with high defensive capabilities.

Therefore, the two fleets of the rebels planned to rely on the defense capability of the space city to form a very strong defense system, and consume Li Xingqi all the way to the end.

In the face of such a tough defense, Li Xingqi also felt very tricky. This kind of tactics of stubbornly defending and defending against the space city made it difficult for Li Xingqi's flexible and varied combat methods to play a role.

In addition to attacking Li Xingqi, he couldn't find a better way, and tried to attack several times, but he was forced back by the powerful artillery fire of Space City.

Li Xingqi held several combat meetings, but no one could find a better way, and some suggested other means, such as rebellion or sabotage from within.

Unfortunately, unlike other colonies, it is almost impossible for the rebels to infiltrate the rebels in a short period of time, and such plans often require a long time of preparation and implementation.

Thinking about it, it seems that there is only one way to attack, and Li Xingqi can't attack too much, if he destroys the White Lion Star too much, the meaning of this war will be lost.

So Li Xingqi also transferred the fleet that was on standby on the outskirts of the galaxy, and the three fleets launched a fierce attack on the White Lion Star together, hoping to reduce the number of the other party as much as possible through a war of attrition.

It is difficult for such a positional battle to achieve obvious results in a short period of time, not to mention that the rebels have the space city as their support and assistance, and Li Xingqi's fleet is fighting very hard and stalemate.

Since the rebels were fighting on their own soil, the lost weapons and troops could be replenished in time, but Li Xingqi came from afar, and it was difficult to replenish the consumed troops and weapons in a short time.

As a result, the war between the two sides completely fell into a state of insolvency, and Li Xingqi could neither win quickly nor return home, and the situation became very passive.

What annoyed Li Xingqi the most was not the current battle situation, but those who took the opportunity to fall into the ground, because the war against the rebels had reached a stalemate, some people began to fight the idea of colonizing the alliance.

Although Li Xingqi had expected such a thing, these people did not dare to fight the rebels, but they dared to fight Li Xingqi, who was fighting against the rebels.

News came from the rear that several galaxies under the Colonization and Security Federation had been attacked by other military alliances, but fortunately, Li Xingqi had already made arrangements in advance and deliberately left several fleets to deal with these invaders.

In order to prevent his subordinates from being greedy for merit, Li Xingqi specially instructed these generals that in the face of the enemy fleet that came to intrude, they must first put defense first, and they should not attack easily without full certainty, as long as they hold the territory and do not lose it, and other things will be talked about when he returns.

Faced with the unfavorable situation of multi-front operations, it became very difficult for Li Xingqi to transfer the fleet from the rear, and he did not dare to transfer the reserve fleet used to contain the War Horse Galaxy, for fear that the rebels of the War Horse System would come to support.

After studying for many days, Li Xingqi found that there was only one fleet that could really be mobilized, that is, the original Yaqiu fleet that Liu Yi had snatched just now, and it was now called the Eagle Fleet.

There are no other problems with this fleet, except that the officers and men of the fleet have just taken over, and there are still many things that are not suitable for the fleet, and the training has just begun.

However, now Li Xingqi urgently needs more fleets to be sure of capturing the White Lion Star, otherwise it will continue to be consumed endlessly.

This is the territory of the rebels, and the longer it takes, the more unfavorable it will be to him Li Xingqi, no matter who understands this truth.

"At the beginning, I should have brought the soldiers and officers of the fleet together, and now I won't be so stretched......" Li Xingqi regretted a little that he didn't stick to the end at that time, and let Liu Yi only hand over the fleet but not the people who handed over the fleet.

But now it's too late to regret it, Li Xingqi must make the next decision, whether to transfer the Eagle Fleet to the battlefield.

After some careful consideration, Li Xingqi still decided to transfer the Eagle Fleet to the Lion King Galaxy. Although this fleet is still too reluctant to fight now, it is still a new force, and if you don't use it at a critical moment like now, you may regret it in the future.

After making up his mind, Li Xingqi immediately ordered the Eagle Fleet to rush to the Lion King Galaxy as soon as possible to participate in the battle against the rebels.

Li Xingqi gave the highest level of emergency order, and the Eagle Fleet that received the order did not dare to delay, and did not have time to make full preparations, so they immediately set off for the Lion King Galaxy.

It took more than 20 days for the Eagle Fleet to finally arrive at the battlefield, and Li Xingqi didn't care about letting the fleet rest, so he immediately incorporated the Eagle Fleet into the battle sequence.

Now Li Xingqi's strength in the Lion King Galaxy has recovered to four fleets, if you take into account the losses of both sides, in fact, the rebels are now one and a half fleets, and Li Xingqi's side is more than three fleets.

Li Xingqi didn't plan to wait any longer, now that he had transferred all the fleets he could use, he had to take advantage of the current numerical advantage to end this campaign as soon as possible.
