Section 1 Bloody Day
May 1, 1558 in the Alpha calendar.
The entire Black Angel Army has arrived in the area near the "Instant Dusk", and Mo Cheng ordered Wu Lei to lead the light cruiser detachment to go around to the back of the "Instant Dusk", the Shenlong detachment led by Zaken appeared on the flank, and the command ship led a thousand heavy battleships to appear on the front.
The three detachments basically formed the shape of a circular triangle.
After the formation of this situation, which was basically an encirclement of the "Instant Dusk", Mocheng first ordered Wu Lei to lead 10,000 light cruiser ships to be automatically exposed first, and to make hostile movements outside the artillery fire range of the defensive buildings of the "Instant Dusk".
At this time, there were three fleets staying on the "Instant Dusk", namely Vice Admiral Cohen, Rear Admiral Karen, and Vice Admiral Phyllis.
There is nothing beyond normal logic in the relationship between the three, there is no bad relationship, but there is no life and death friendship. The Millennium Falcon is a standard 10,000-strong enemy, and every time he fights, he personally commands it. He was very concerned about the individual command ability of the captains of each ship, but he did not care about the quality of the formation commander who was his assistant. Because most of the time, their main task is to charge forward, so they only need to be brave enough, and the rest is done by his Millennium Falcon.
After all, brave people are also flesh and blood, and as a result of often rushing to the front line, the mortality rate is naturally greatly increased.
Therefore, the commander of the formation of the Millennium Falcon is not only not an order of magnitude with him in ability, but often dies, and even has to be constantly replaced.
It was precisely because he saw this weakness of the Millennium Falcon Fleet that Mo Cheng dared to take over Yuris's stubble.
The officer on duty was none other than the most senior lieutenant general Cohen, who had served as the commander of the formation under the command of the Millennium Falcon for more than five years. This is the highest record for the tenure of the chief officer of the Millennium Falcon Formation.
When such a fleet was discovered, Vice Admiral Cohen, who had become a veteran and serious, immediately raised the alert of "Instant Dusk" to a red second only to black.
At the same time, Vice Admiral Cohen, who was patrolling, sent a warning signal to Wu Lei's 10,000 light cruisers through his own mothership, asking them to withdraw from the realm of "instant dusk" as soon as possible, otherwise they would be attacked by destruction.
Wu Lei ignored Lieutenant General Cohen's warning and continued to wander on the edge of the cordon of "instant dusk".
Lieutenant General Cohen sent a letter to Major General Cullen and Lieutenant General Phyllis on the "twilight of the moment" almost immediately, activating the wartime mechanism and asking them to immediately take over the duties of the officers on the ground.
Upon receiving the activation of the wartime mechanism, Rear Admiral Cullen and Vice Admiral Phyllis immediately ordered their fleet to take off, forming two lines of defense behind Vice Admiral Cohen.
When he saw that the defensive line behind him was established, Vice Admiral Cohen immediately led the whole army towards Wu Lei's 10,000 light cruisers.
When he discovered that Vice Admiral Cohen was leading the formation to come, Wu Lei immediately headed for the ambush site of 40,000 light cruisers.
At the same time, Mo Cheng personally led the heavy battle formation, moving closer to the light cruiser formation, and at the same time ordered 100,000 Shenlong fighters to do the same.
However, when Lieutenant General Cohen approached the edge of the "Instant Dusk" interstellar radar detection, he did not hesitate to retreat.
Although his surname is old and serious, in his heart, Lieutenant General Cohen wants to rush over and kill these guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead. However, because the Millennium Falcon had left a message before setting off, no matter what provocation it encountered, it was only allowed to hold on, and all fleets were not allowed to leave the interstellar radar detection line of "Instant Dusk" at the farthest.
When he saw Lieutenant General Cohen retreating, Mo Cheng shook his head helplessly, "I know ......"
Tuo also nodded, "You guessed right, the Millennium Falcon must have left a message, or ...... Let's try again? ”
"It's useless, if you continue like this, it will only make them more alert." Mo Cheng said this, reaching out and pinching his eyebrows, "It's a pity that there is not enough time." If we have enough time, we can grind them slowly until they lose their patience. It's just a pity that we don't have time now. ”
"It's useless to say so much, you can only fight hard." Tuo Tuo frowned, looked at Mo Cheng, and said.
Hearing this, Mo Cheng looked at the support and asked, "Have you fought the Five Star River Fleet before?" ”
"Nope." Tuo Firm shook his head, "Even if I haven't fought in the simulator, the combat effectiveness of the Five Star River Fleet is absolutely secret. ”
"Me too." After Mo Cheng finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Let's try to find out first, and order Wu Lei to lead 25,000 light cruisers to re-enter the cordon, and all the command resources of the command ship are inclined to these 25,000 light cruisers." All other fleets are on standby and are not allowed to enter the 'Instant Dusk' alert range, and the captains of each ship will take over the command of each ship, and the command ship will temporarily disconnect the data connection with each ship. ”
Vice Admiral Cohen, who was returning home, suddenly saw that Wu Lei's fleet was back again, and the number had more than doubled, and he was immediately furious, "Bastard, it's just some cannon fodder ships, I think that if there are many of them, I can swagger in front of the Five Star River Fleet, damn it......"
At this time, the wartime mechanism has not been lifted, so Vice Admiral Cohen does not have to rearrange anything, just turn around and re-march towards Wu Lei's fleet.
What surprised him even more was that this time, not only did these light cruisers not retreat, but they advanced at a higher speed without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and when they reached the offensive line of the base ships, they immediately dispersed and formed a huge circle, encircling his fleet.
Although this method of arranging the formation was really unbelievable to Vice Admiral Cohen, he did not take it lightly, but immediately formed a circular defensive formation of 600 of the 1,000 base ships under his command, while maintaining 400 base ships as an assault force.
It was in this strange formation that the light cruisers of the Black Angels began to charge at Vice Admiral Cohen's base ship formation.
The Black Angels chose an attack point, then mobilized a full 10,000 light cruisers and began to focus on this point.
When he saw that 10,000 light cruisers were approaching, Vice Admiral Cohen unhurriedly deployed his fleet, and he made his circular formation spin.
In this rotation, each base ship changes its position.
And when these 10,000 light cruisers came to attack, these base ships rotated faster and faster. The attack of the light cruiser was already weak, and the damage to the base ship was already small. In addition, these base ships use amazing cooperation to share the damage caused by Wu Lei's fleet.
This makes each base ship less damaged, and even by the time the base ship is spun back, the damage they take has been fully repaired by their auto-repair system.
And the firepower of these base ships is even more terrifying than imagined.
Thirty light cruisers together can only cause damage to a base ship. One base ship can launch an attack on twenty light cruisers at once. And with the cooperation of the Five Star River Fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Cohen, the use of crossfire has reached a miraculous level, making the attack efficiency of each base ship even more numerous times.
After only three minutes of contact, Mer City immediately ordered all ships to withdraw.
And in just three minutes, more than 2,700 light cruisers have become cosmic dust, and the loss of Vice Admiral Cohen's fleet turned out to be a terrible zero.
After seeing this scene, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the commanders who stayed on the command ship couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
When Wu Lei's formation withdrew from the range of the Cohen fleet's firepower, he was ordered by Mo Cheng to stand by, and confronted the Cohen fleet in this way.
And Cohen's fleet was obviously quite satisfied with the results just now, and they still maintained their circular formation, as if they wanted to wait for Wu Lei's fleet to rush up again to send them to their deaths.
"Extreme Operations...... There's only one way. ”
After witnessing everything, he turned his face, looked at Mo Cheng, and said.
Mo Cheng did not also turn his head to look at the prison this time, but remained silent.
After a full fifteen minutes of confrontation, Wu Lei's formation began to retreat.
When it was determined that Wu Lei's formation was retreating, Lieutenant General Cohen immediately lifted the circular defensive formation and began to pursue Wu Lei's formation. Because the battle just now was too easy, all the captains were unimpressed with Wu Lei's formation, so everyone scrambled to be the first, making Cohen's formation form a one-line pursuit formation.
However, when they pursued the edge line of the "Instant Dusk" interstellar radar detection, something surprising happened, and a huge formation of a thousand heavy battleships, twenty-five thousand light cruisers, and countless Shenlong fighters appeared.
Moreover, the light cruisers that had just retreated were also integrated into this fleet in a very regular way.
When this fact was discovered, Lieutenant General Cohen did not choose to retreat, but immediately sent a signal for help to Major General Cullen and Lieutenant General Phyllis.
This is perfectly normal. As a five-star river fleet, it would be too shameful to run away in the face of a fleet of this size.
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for a fleet of this level to be annihilated by a five-star river fleet, how could it be possible to face it and flee? What's more, it only takes ten minutes for reinforcements from the rear to come.
However, Cohen miscalculated the situation by failing to figure out who the commander of the fleet was.
"Are you going to start a hyperspace jump?" Hold on to Mocheng.
Mo Cheng replied almost immediately: "No, we can't fight too hard, if we scare the reinforcements so much that they retreat." ”
"But...... The other party is the five-star river fleet, if you want to do what you say, you have to carry it for at least six minutes, and the loss is very large. ”
"At all costs." Mo Cheng said almost immediately, "We must destroy the three fleets in batches, as long as the currents converge, we will not have any chance." And our ships are all very early, hyperspace jumps are too damaging to ships, I don't know how long we can hold out. ”
"Okay."
Soon, Cohen's fleet and the Black Angel Army came into contact, as if they had learned from Cohen, and the Black Angel Army immediately formed a circular defensive formation.
It's just that the Black Angels' defensive position is more complicated than Cohen's.
The Black Angels protected most of their light cruisers at the core, with a thousand heavy battleships as external protection, and on the outside of these heavy battleships, there were a small number of light cruisers, as well as all the dragon fighters.
When the two sides came into contact, Cohen's fleet opened fire and poured mercilessly down on the Black Angel Army, and the entire exterior of the Black Angel Army was shrouded in flames.
The perfect attack power of the Five Star River Fleet was undoubtedly displayed at this time, although the Black Angel Army had dozens of times the opponent's ships, it was completely suppressed by the opponent's firepower and could not raise its head, and could only make some weak counterattacks. The scene looks really pitiful.
In fact, the main direction of the Black Angel Army at this time is not offense, but defense. Almost all heavy battleships drove their shields to the highest level. The outermost light cruisers and Shenlong fighters, under the command of the command ship, appeared in the sky over the soft underbelly of some of the heavy battleships at the right time.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five minutes, six minutes passed.
For everyone in the Black Angels, it's like six minutes in hell.
In just six minutes, despite the command of Mo Cheng and others, the Black Angel Army also lost more than 4,000 light cruisers, and as for the Shenlong fighters, they lost more than 30,000 aircraft.
And the loss of Cohen's fleet was no more than twenty-five base ships.
At this moment, the Black Angel Army has reached the limit of this seemingly worthless loss.
And at this time, Mo Cheng finally ordered, "Time and Space Jump......
Almost at the same time, tens of thousands of light cruisers turned into tens of thousands of rays of light, disappeared from the space where they had been, and suddenly appeared in various gaps in the Cohen Base fleet.
These gaps are fully calculated, just a safe distance.
Cohen was startled by such a swift jump, but what made him feel even more terrifying was that the fleets did not just jump once, but attacked once, and then immediately disappeared and jumped again.
Because of such a terrible attack by these light cruisers, the offensive system of Cohen's fleet was immediately disintegrated, and they simply could not deal with the enemy who was still in the front, they had to deal with the light cruisers that stuck to them like bloodsuckers.
However, the light cruisers jumped so fast that they disappeared into the air by the time they fired. Their artillery fire then mistakenly hit their teammates' ships.
Coming to the aid of Cohen's fleet was Rear Admiral Karen.
By the time he realized the horror of the hostile fleet in front of him, he was only a minute away from Cohen's fleet.
Although, at this time, Cohen's fleet had already been beaten to less than half of its fleet. However, it is really unbearable to see death in such a short distance.
And when they saw Major General Karen pressing on the whole army, they had been dodging in front of them, and the heavy battle formation of the Black Angel Army and all the remaining Divine Dragon fighters began to play their left and right.
Each of the Black Angels' heavy battleships carried about sixty dragon fighters and began to attack Cohen's fleet head-on.
The base ship, which had been massively reduced in attack power by the frantic leaps of the light cruisers, no longer had the ferocity to knock down a heavy battleship with a single salvo.
So, this time it was the turn of the heavy battleship to serve as a shield for the Shenlong fighter.
I saw that the heavy battleships of the Black Angel Army were constantly swimming in space, constantly sharing the cannon fire from Cohen's fleet, while those Shenlong fighters were in full swing, attacking the weak points of the base ships. They were in units of 500 and launched a frenzied attack on these base ships.
In terms of size, it's too much like five hundred ants to die and bite an elephant all the time.
However, the effect was also extremely terrifying, and in just one minute, almost a hundred base ships were killed by this ant colony tactic.
At the same time, the same number died in the movement battles of light cruisers.
The result of a thousand heavy battleships was twenty-one.
By this time, there were less than two hundred base ships left in Cohen's fleet, and the only consolation was that Rear Admiral Cullen had already caught up.
But soon, Cohen realized that it didn't help.
Because those light cruisers, which were entangled like ghosts and gods, were divided in half to pester Rear Admiral Karen. And this does not mean that his pressure can be reduced, because the strength on his hands is less than 20% of what he was at the beginning.
And because the Black Angel Army was eager to deal with him, they went all out to oppose Major General Karen, and their offensive spirit was even worse than just now.
Finally, three minutes later, with the latest and almost mythical tactics of hyperspace jumping, Lieutenant General Cohen and all his companions returned to the West.
He wasn't alone, and after another twenty hours, the Cullen formation had also become fellow travelers in Cohen's fleet.
Such a result is certainly brilliant, but the losses of the Black Angel Army are also huge, in the battle just now, they lost almost half of the heavy battle, 20,000 Shenlong fighters, and almost more than 7,000 light cruisers.
By this time, the Black Angel Army's combat power was less than 500 heavy battles, more than 36,000 light cruisers, and less than 50,000 Shenlong fighters.
And most importantly, the six commanders, including Mo Cheng, have all shed blood. The hyperspace jump station just now was done by overdrawing their mental power.
The half-hour battle just now had almost exhausted all of their mental power.
If Karen can still support even if it is only for a short minute, then it will definitely be the Black Angel Army that will collapse. The reason is simple, because their most important leader, will all die on the command ship.
Or if Lieutenant General Phyllis has a slightly deeper relationship with these two generals and rushes over desperately to take revenge, then the Black Angel Army will also fall into a catastrophe.
Because, the real loss of the Black Angel Army at this time was not only nearly forty percent of the battleships, but on the command ships.
Thankfully, however, nothing terrible happened.
Lieutenant General Philis was so frightened by the terrifying combat power of the Black Angel Army that he quickly cowered within the attack range of the "Instant Dusk" defensive structure, not daring to move.
Perhaps, it would be a little less pertinent to describe Lieutenant General Phyllis's mood with the word fear.
Actually, there should be extreme fear.
The most feared person in Lieutenant General Phyllis's life was his boss, Millennium Falcon.
However, even the Millennium Falcon had never seen such amazing command skills in all the years he had been following the campaign.
And Phyllis's mentality was already in Merce's plan.
"Order the entire fleet to form an offensive formation and approach towards 'Instant Dusk.'"
Mo Cheng, who was a little confused, ordered.
Fortunately, before this, he had barely calculated the positions of each ship, so when attacking, the Black Angel Army was still orderly and imposing.
"If Phyllis suddenly has a nervous attack at this time and rushes up, we will die here together." Holding up his hand as he slowly wiped the blood flowing from under his jaw, he said jokingly.
Mo Cheng also smiled weakly and said, "It's rare to hear you joking, but I hope it won't come true." ”
