Chapter 100: The Battle of the Imperial Capital
"General, the other two fleets have already sent a message, agreeing that the implementation of the battle plan will officially begin in 8 hours." The intelligence officer said to Cai Qi.
Cai Qi nodded and said that there was no objection, the battle plan was formulated long before departure, and now there is no problem at all in terms of time, the only thing that is more worrying is the lack of energy, but this is also a matter of no choice, and it is the only way to do it quickly.
Seeing the Tianhan Star in front of him getting closer and closer, Cai Qi's mood couldn't help but start to get nervous, to be honest, he didn't have a complete grasp of this battle.
After all, the imperial capital is different from other places, the imperial teams of other galaxies can fight and surrender if they can't, and there are few armies that really dare to fight to the death.
However, the imperial capital is different, everyone knows how tightly defended the imperial capital is, and this is a place that the empire will never allow to give up, if the imperial capital is lost, I am afraid that the entire Xinghan Empire will collapse.
Cai Qi's mood at this time was very delicate, he hoped to take the imperial capital in one go, but he was a little unbearable, he was a general of the empire about ten years ago, but he didn't expect to challenge the empire he once served today.
In fact, it's not just Cai Qi, probably the commanders of the other two fleets, Li You and Deng Yuanqing, are also in the same mood, after all, most of the generals of their Freedom Alliance Army originally served in the emperor.
"What about the Tiger Fleet and the Flying Wolf Fleet? How much was lost on the way to the march? Cai Qi asked his adjutant.
At this time, he must contain his thoughts, lest he fall into the memories of the past, and the great war is imminent.
The adjutant looked at the intelligence records and replied, "The losses of the Flying Wolf Fleet are similar to ours, and they have also encountered attacks from high-energy weapons, losing almost a quarter of them at once, plus the attacks encountered in the asteroid belt, the number of losses is a little more than ours." ”
"What about the Tigers? Didn't they meet the attack? Cai Qi asked.
"The luck of the Tiger Fleet is really good, except for the loss of some on the periphery of the galaxy, it did not encounter the attack of high-energy weapons, and the loss in the asteroid belt is not large, the overall loss is less than one-fifth." The adjutant replied.
"Humph! Li You is really lucky, he is so lucky! Cai Qi said with some indignation.
"There's no way around it, after all, luck isn't in anyone's hands." The adjutant reassured: "However, their energy reserves are very problematic, and the next battle will depend on us." ”
"It's not surprising that if we don't take special measures like we do, there will be problems with our energy reserves." Cai Qi said.
The adjutant said: "I hope to take the imperial capital in one go, if the time drags on for too long, I'm afraid there will be big trouble." ”
Cai Qi nodded, this problem was always what he was most worried about, don't look at the relative emptiness of the imperial capital's defense now, once the time drags on for too long, and the other imperial fleets come back to reinforce, their plan to attack the imperial capital this time will be in vain.
Cai Qi said: "Pass the order, all the staff eat and rest in advance, and when they arrive in the imperial capital, they will attack with all their might, and they must take it down for me at all costs!" ”
"Yes!"
At this time, the major cities on the Sky Han Star had already sounded a piercing siren, and people ran out of their homes in panic and rushed to the nearby shelter with the old and the young.
The infrastructure of the imperial capital is very well-developed, and there are shelters built underground throughout the city, so that in the event of war or major natural disasters, people can immediately enter the shelters to take refuge.
In the Imperial Capital Military Academy, Yu Wensong hurriedly sent an email to Liu Yi before leaving home, in which he told Liu Yi that once he unfortunately died, he hoped that Liu Yi could take care of his family for him.
After sending the email, Yu Wensong hurried to the underground shelter of the academy, but before he reached the entrance of the shelter, two heavily armed soldiers had already stopped him.
"Is it Professor Yuwensong?" The soldier asked coldly.
Yu Wensong nodded and said, "That's right, I am." ”
The soldier said, "Professor Yuwensong, please come with me, the Supreme Command has it." ”
Yu Wensong sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect it to be blocked, I already knew that the headquarters would definitely send someone to invite, and sure enough, ......"
"Okay, I'll go with you, but you'll have to pick up a few of my students, and I need their help." Yu Wensong said.
"There's no problem with that, we've already had people go and ask for them." The soldier said.
"Alright then, let's go." After speaking, Yu Wensong followed the two soldiers to the vehicle that had been parked on the side of the road a long time ago.
The Imperial Supreme Command is located in an extremely secret underground facility outside the city, which can be called a huge underground city, which is the center of the entire emperor, and controls the entire empire's army remotely.
In this vast underground facility, there are not only countless equipment and machines, but also a large number of secret weapons, and even the emperor himself does not know how many secrets are hidden here.
Yu Wensong has not come to the Supreme Headquarters once or twice, he has been here many times in the past when he was working on the defense system of the imperial capital.
As one of the main designers of this system, there are many details that are only clear to Yu Wensong and a few core personnel, so the military will definitely find him anyway.
However, Yu Wensong didn't like to deal with these people, and wanted to pretend to be confused, but he was still found.
The vehicle drove all the way into the underground facilities, and even though there was still a wide and straight road underground, there was no difference from the ground at all, but this was already tens of meters above ground.
Yu Wensong was escorted by the soldiers to a conference room, and when he entered the door, he saw that he was an acquaintance, and several of the main designers of the defense system were inside, as well as several of his students.
Everyone smiled bitterly at each other and sat down one after another, all with reluctant expressions on their faces.
At this moment, a tall young officer pushed the door in, stepped up to the crowd and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the battle is about to begin, and I have invited you here in the hope of providing us with some more valuable advice." ”
At this time, everyone couldn't say anything, so they had to nod their heads and say that they would fully cooperate with the military.
While he was talking, another officer hurriedly walked into the conference room and said, "The rebels have arrived, please come to the staff room." ”
Yu Wensong and the others were taken aback when they heard the news, and said in their hearts: "The rebels are coming so fast!" It's all here! ”
Everyone followed the officer to the staff room, saying that it was the staff room, but it was actually a hall, in which various large screens and holographic projections were dazzling, as if they had arrived at a colorful entertainment venue.
On the largest screen in the center is a real-time image transmitted back from the front of the battle, and a large number of luminous dots are coming towards the celestial stars in the background of the starry sky.
Needless to say, these lights are the rebels' fleets, and there are probably thousands of them.
A staff officer was briefing the crowd: "This is one of the rebel fleets, and judging by the data returned from the front, the number of ships is about a thousand. And the number of the other two fleets is about 700 and 600, that is, the total number of the enemy is about 200 ships. ”
Yu Wensong and the others were somewhat surprised when they heard this number, and said in their hearts: "In just half a year, the rebels can build so many warships, it seems that the rebels are very strong now......"
Suddenly, a red glow flashed on the big screen, followed by the sound of an alarm.
"It's a firefight!" I don't know who shouted.
Everyone fell silent and focused their attention on the big screen in the center, and saw a red light light light in the dark universe, if a red glow suddenly appeared in the universe.
The first battle occurred when the Flying Wolf Fleet of the Free Alliance Army and the Imperial 1st Fleet did not adopt any special tactics, and each side opened up all their positions and attacked each other with all their firepower.
As the 1st fleet guarding the imperial capital, it is impossible for them to take any battle, behind the fleet is the imperial capital, they can't retreat a single step, no matter how fierce the opponent's firepower is, they must grit their teeth and hold on until one of them completely annihilates the other.
In order to achieve the goal of a quick victory, the three fleets of the Free Alliance Army have already been discussed, and as soon as they come up, they will discharge all the fleets and output them with the strongest firepower.
The more than 600 warships of the Flying Wolf Fleet were all lined up, and they did not adopt the safe way of rotating operations, and fired a salvo at all the warships as soon as they came up.
The red beams of thousands of particle cannons shot towards the 1st Fleet together, illuminating the combat airspace in a patch of red, a strange phenomenon that people in the Sky Stars could observe even with the naked eye.
The 1st Fleet didn't expect that the other party would not consider the consequences at all as soon as they came up, and they were desperately stance, and they were a little unprepared in a hurry.
According to the 1st Fleet commander's assumption, it was best to take a safe approach to engage in a war of attrition with the enemy, so he did not send all the warships at first.
When the enemy's thousands of particle cannon beams came together, Hu Wei, the commander of the 1st Fleet, realized that something was wrong.
"Suffered!" Hu Wei shouted, and immediately realized that something was going to happen to his forward troops.
As he expected, although the hundreds of warships at the front of the formation opened their defensive shields, the defensive shields were also limited, and under such fierce attacks, the defensive shields only lasted less than ten seconds before they were breached.
This was followed by a series of huge explosions, and all the hundreds of battleships in front of the formation were destroyed, giving the 1st Fleet a blow to the head.
Hu Wei hurriedly ordered, the fleet adjusted its formation, and all the battleships immediately lined up and fired a salvo at the enemy.
The crowd who were watching the real-time images in the staff room of the General Headquarters exclaimed in surprise when they saw the adjustments made by Hu Wei: "This is too risky!" ”
Yu Wensong shouted excitedly in the crowd: "What are you waiting for! Why not activate Planetary Shield now! ”
Hearing Yuwensong's shout, a staff officer hurriedly asked, "Professor Yuwen, do you mean to activate the planetary shield now?" ”
"Of course! Planetary shields are designed to work with fleets to be the most effective! How long will you have to wait? Yuwen Song said angrily.
