The staff replied, "Your Excellency, haven't you noticed?" As soon as the Dragon Bird Fleet arrived at Yaqiu, the other party was already prepared, otherwise how could it intercept the sneak attack of the Dragon Bird Fleet so effectively. ”

"What do you mean...... Someone tipped off? Zhang Jin asked with a frown.

The staff said: "We can't rule out this possibility, otherwise how can we explain the actions of the Yaqiu fleet?" ”

Zhang Jin nodded and said, "That's true, if no one leaks the news, the Yaqiu fleet will never be able to react so quickly!" ”

The plan to sneak attack Yaqiu was thought of by Zhang Jin a long time ago, and it has been kept strictly secret, and even the people around him don't know much about it. From Zhang Jin's point of view, the most reasonable explanation is indeed that the news has been leaked, so the Yaqiu fleet will take precautions early.

Thinking that someone around him leaked the news, Zhang Jin's heart was like a flame, and he couldn't wait to burn the person who leaked the news to ashes.

"Damn! If I were to find out, I would have this traitor torn to pieces! Zhang Jin gritted his teeth and said viciously.

Seeing that Zhang Jin had completely accepted his opinion, the staff was secretly proud in their hearts, and said in their hearts: "Now it's time for me to be promoted and make a fortune!" ”

Sure enough, Zhang Jin immediately said to this staff: "Since you first noticed this matter, it is better for you to be responsible for the investigation, and be sure to find out this traitor who reported the news and leaked the news to me!" ”

"Yes! Rest assured, my lord, I will definitely hurry up to investigate and will never let this traitor go unpunished! The staff agreed categorically.

After the meeting, Zhang Jin immediately contacted Fan Jun, the commander of the Dragon Bird Fleet, and criticized Fan Jun very harshly, and also asked Fan Jun to occupy Yaqiu as soon as possible.

Fan Jun agreed to Zhang Jin's request, but he was completely unsure in his heart, he didn't even tell Zhang Jin the true situation of the fleet, so that Zhang Jin thought that the Dragon Bird fleet still had an advantage.

Finally dealt with Zhang Jin, Fan Jun made a mistake in his heart, this is how to quickly occupy Yaqiu, the other party is already fully prepared, and the fleet is not weaker than the Dragon Bird fleet, if there is a protracted war, there may still be some slim chances, and a quick battle may only lose faster.

The most important thing is that now the officers under Fan Jun don't trust him, and even dare to openly contradict him.

The more Fan Jun thought about it, the more he felt that things were tricky, and in the end he even wanted to just pick and choose, who likes to be the admiral, and he simply went home to care for the elderly.

struggled inwardly for a long time, and finally Fan Jun decided to follow Zhang Jin's instructions, after all, he was given by Zhang Jin, no matter what, he had to show his determination, otherwise Zhang Jin would not spare himself.

Before the start of the war, Fan Jun convened a military meeting of important officers to share his thoughts with everyone.

"Guys, I talked to a few people yesterday and was going to make a tentative attack today. However, Chief Zhang Jin later contacted me, and due to the change in the war in the Sea Eagle Galaxy, we must take Yaqiu in the shortest possible time. Therefore, today we must attack with all our might, and we must defeat the Aqiu fleet no matter what! ”

As soon as Fan Jun finished speaking, the faces of the officers became much gloomy, no one in the conference room spoke, and the atmosphere became very depressing.

Having just suffered a defeat yesterday, and today they are going to attack with all their might, and the hearts of the officers are full of dissatisfaction, and although no one says it, everyone present can clearly feel this wordless resistance.

Fan Jun also knew very well in his heart that the people below did not agree with his thoughts, but the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back.

"Well, since you don't have any other opinions, let's follow this line of thought today!" Fan Jun saw that no one spoke, so he had to break the deadlock by himself and make a final conclusion.

After the meeting, Fan Jun ordered the fleet to start preparing for battle, and this time he did not dare to advance again, so he adopted a relatively conservative and stable formation, arranging the fleet in the usual phalanx, so as to avoid a repeat of yesterday's situation.

The battle officially started a few hours later, and this time Feng Kailong did not use any special tactics, and like Fan Jun, he also formed a phalanx, the purpose of which was to minimize variables.

Both sides were the same phalanx, and in this case the battle became very common for fleets to shoot at each other, and no one could take advantage of it.

Now Feng Kailong had learned from Liu Yi that Li Xingqi's troops would soon come to support, and he just had to hold on steadily, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive before thinking of destroying the Dragon Bird fleet.

In the first battle, Feng Kailong adopted a more risky tactic in order to frustrate the opponent's spirit, and now that the Dragon Bird Fleet was frustrated in the first battle, Feng Kailong did not have to take risks, just hold on to his current position.

Once the battle began, both sides shelled each other in a textbook fashion, and then the array was rotated, with no difference from start to finish.

The losses on both sides in the battle were small, but there was no progress in the war, and Feng Kailong was very satisfied with the result.

Defense was originally what Feng Kailong was best at, and today's battle power was regarded as training, only a few ships in the Yaqiu fleet suffered some minor damage, and the other ships remained intact.

However, Fan Jun was very disappointed with the result, he said that he wanted to attack quickly, but the formation he put on was very conservative, and he did not make any progress after a whole day.

Fan Jun's subordinates were secretly laughing in private, and they looked down on this commander even more in their hearts.

The battle continued for the next few days, and the morale of the Dragonbird fleet was getting lower and lower, and many people no longer had the expectation of victory in this war.

On the other hand, on the side of the Yaqiu fleet, every day of fighting is building confidence for the young soldiers, and the morale of the whole army is very full.

For the Yaqiu fleet, as long as the dragon bird fleet is not allowed to pass, it is a victory, not to mention that the news of the arrival of reinforcements has spread in the fleet, which makes the soldiers even more convinced that the final victory must belong to Yaqiu.

Soon, Fan Jun also learned from Zhang Jin that Li Xingqi had sent reinforcements to Yaqiu, and the Dragon Bird fleet must win as soon as possible, otherwise it would face a huge dilemma of being attacked by the two fleets.

Now Zhang Jin has no extra troops to support the Dragon Bird Fleet, even if there is time, it is too late, Zhang Jin is furious and urges Fan Jun to attack as soon as possible, there is no extra time left for the Dragon Bird Fleet.

Now Yaqiu's battle is very important to Zhang Jin, and only after taking Yaqiu can he have ample strategic space, otherwise he will have to fight Li Xingqi in the Sea Eagle Galaxy.

Fan Jun, who was under great pressure, had no choice, he had to take a strong attack and crush the Yaqiu fleet from the front, otherwise Zhang Jin would definitely put all the blame on him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Li Xingqi has sent reinforcements, we must defeat the Yaqiu fleet before the other party's reinforcements arrive, otherwise we will be watched by both fleets." Fan Jun said to his subordinates helplessly.

The officers have now completely lost the vigor they had before the war, and they all had the mentality of coping with errands, and basically did not say a word at military meetings.

Fan Jun agitated for a long time, but it had little effect, and the morale of the entire fleet was still low. The officers are not motivated, and how can the soldiers below have full morale.

However, there was no time left for Fan Jun to re-boost the morale of the fleet, and a few hours after the end of the military meeting, Fan Jun ordered the whole army to start a surprise attack to defeat the Yaqiu fleet in today's battle.

Under the command of Fan Jun, the Dragon Bird fleet once again set up a triangular formation, intending to break through the opponent's military formation.

Feng Kailong was worthy of being an experienced veteran, and when he saw that the Dragon Bird fleet once again put on a posture of intent to assault, he knew that the other party must not be able to wait and wanted to have a decisive battle with the Yaqiu fleet.

"If you want to fight a decisive battle, I don't want to, I'll continue to grind with you to the end and see what you can do!" Feng Kailong said secretly in his heart.

Having made up his mind to stick to the end, Feng Kailong immediately ordered, "If we don't fight with them today, we will retreat!" ”

Before the battle began, I saw that the Yaqiu fleet took the initiative to retreat, widening the distance between the two sides by thousands of kilometers, and then set up a very dense defensive formation.

Fan Jun saw that the other party did not intend to fight hard with him, and he was very annoyed in his heart, this is clearly to delay time, in this case, the dragon bird fleet can only advance cautiously while shelling, and at this speed, it will slowly and completely arch, and it will not be able to arch Yaqiu Star for a week.

"No matter, let's speed up and rush forward!" Fan Jun had already lost his patience and decided to pounce quickly and desperately, maybe he could get some unexpected results.

However, what kind of person is Feng Kailong, as soon as he saw that the other party was going to take a desperate approach, he immediately ordered: "Concentrate all your firepower on me and hit the opponent's vanguard fiercely!" ”

"Yes!" The orders were sent to each ship, and the captains ordered the soldiers in charge of artillery fire, and the other ships did not have to care, just aimed at the ships at the front of the dragon bird fleet.

The Yaqiu fleet originally adopted a relatively dense formation, and under the command of Feng Kailong, almost all of the firepower was concentrated on the vanguard of the Dragon Bird fleet to attack fiercely.

Due to the sufficient distance had been opened in advance, the assault force sent by Fan Jun was subjected to extremely heavy fire before it could get close to the Yaqiu fleet.

Although the battleships were protected by defensive shields, under such concentrated firepower, a large number of ships were soon destroyed due to the penetration of the protective shields.

The heavy losses of the vanguard force made those follow-up ships waver, and the morale of the fleet, which was already very low, and now seeing such heavy losses in the vanguard, many captains have slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and the speed of the entire fleet's assault is really unsatisfactory.

Seeing this, Fan Jun kept ordering the ships to speed up, but the more he urged, the slower those ships became, because no one wanted to be cannon fodder, and the faster he rushed forward, the greater the chance of being destroyed.
