While some ships are capable of short-range space jumps, most of the thousands of ships in the Silicon Fleet do not have this ability. In addition, there is a great risk of organizing thousands of warships to make short-distance space jumps, so after entering the Wolf Smoke Galaxy, the Silicon Charm fleet will turn to normal sailing. Even if the Silicon Fleet reaches a speed of one-tenth of the speed of light, it will take three days to get from Menshen to Mars.

Of course, this is still the time required under ideal conditions.

The first battle took place shortly after the Silicon Charm fleet arrived in the Wolf Smoke system. The attack was carried out by the four Shadow Ships that had been left behind to spy on the Silicon Fleet. The battle was not very intense, and all four Shadow Ships adopted hit-and-run tactics, destroying less than ten Silicon Phantom ships. Although it did not cause much damage to the enemy, it achieved the purpose of the attack, that is, to disrupt the lineup of the Silicon Charm fleet, so that the enemy had to regroup, and it took some more time. It was this attack that delayed the departure of the Silicon Charm fleet from Menshen by about twelve hours. What's more, after being attacked, the Silicon Charm fleet adjusted its deployment, and instead of immediately speeding up to Beacon Mars, it sent reconnaissance ships and divided the fleet into four groups. As a result, the advance of the Silicon Fleet has slowed down considerably.

Just one attack bought Yang Yi and them at least half a day, and if you count the adjustment and deployment of the Silicon Charm Fleet, they won at least a day.

Actually, this is just the beginning.

After the Silicon Charm fleet set off from Mengjin, the ten Shadow Ships launched a second attack.

This time, the battle was fought more intensely. Although the ten Shadow Ships still adopted a hit-and-run strategy, the Silicon Charm Fleet was already prepared. In the battle, which lasted half an hour, dozens of Silicon Charm warships were destroyed, and many more suffered heavy damage. Although the ten Shadow Ships were also damaged, none of them were serious. It's just that the effect of this attack is not very ideal. The Silicon Fleet didn't slow down because of this.

Over the next three days, the ten Shadow Ships launched several more attacks, but none of them had a very obvious effect.

In fact, this is enough to prove that the commander of the Silicon Charm Fleet has realized that the continuous attacks are not aimed at depleting the strength of the Silicon Fleet. Rather, it is to slow down the advance of the Silicon Charm fleet. As a result, instead of slowing down, the Silicon Charm fleet increased its speed despite the constant attacks. After the last attack, the Silicon Fleet was less than half a day's journey to Mars.

Yang Yi was not surprised by this result.

Counting the last half a day, it took almost six days for the Silicon Charm Fleet to travel from Men God to Mars, a little more than the five days that Yang Yi had expected before.

After giving the order to withdraw ten Shadow Ships to stand by. Yang Yi issued a combat order, so that all the officers and soldiers in the four fortress barracks entered the combat state.

Half a day, not long, not short.

Although Yuyang had already made arrangements, and Shen Chengwen, Jackson, and Otis were also doing their best, Yang Yi still went to the legion below for a turn as before. Not to find out about the situation in the corps, but to let the officers and men of the corps know. He is here to meet the coming fierce battle with everyone.

By the time Yang Yi returned to the headquarters, Yuyang had already organized all the staff officers. A pre-war meeting is underway. Shen Chengwen and Jackson were also there, but they were not staff officers of the headquarters, they did not attend the pre-war meeting organized by Yuyang, and there was no need for that.

"Where's Otis?"

"I was still there just now, so I should have arranged a mission for the female samurai guards."

Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "If it's okay." Go and rest, too. After a few hours, we were busy. ”

"We're fine, why don't you contact Lin Feng?"

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shen Chengwen incomprehensibly.

"To be honest, we're willing to stay. It's not that you can defeat the Silicon Charm army here, but you're here. Shen Cheng pursed his mouth when he heard this, and said, "There are no outsiders now, and I'm not afraid to say it directly." We have no chance of winning this battle, and I am afraid that we will all have to die here by then. ”

"What do you think?"

Shen Chengwen smiled reluctantly and said, "I am careless, and I am also a hero if I die in battle, no one will cry sadly because of my death." You're different, at least you're young, and someone will grieve for you. There's nothing to be embarrassed about about this kind of thing, Jackson and I are both from the past. ”

Yang Yi was speechless, but he had nothing to say.

"Lao Shen is right, how should he contact Lin Feng. After the arrival of the enemy, it will definitely blockade the beacon Mars, and there will also be communication jamming. Jackson paused for a moment before he said, "If there is anything you want to say, it's still too late, lest you regret it when you have time." ”

"You two, you're so unconfident?"

Now, it was Shen Chengwen's turn to be speechless with Jackson.

"Even if you don't believe in yourself, believe me. If nothing else, we've been through so many battles together, how many times not like this? At least until then, we all won and had the last laugh. Two old brothers, have I ever let you down? ”

"That was before, not now."

"In the past, we only faced strong opponents, and it was the ability of the individual, especially the strength of the individual, not the strength of the army. Even if Lao Shen and I are both human warriors, your strength is even above us, but in the face of thousands of Silicon Charm Legions and thousands of Silicon Charm warships, let alone us, even if Xiao Wentian is reborn, he may not be able to defeat the battle. In regular warfare, the abilities of individuals are insignificant. ”

Shen Chengwen nodded, indicating that he also meant the same.

"At least, we have five hundred legions."

"The enemy has thousands of legions."

Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and did not refute.

At the previous meeting, Yuyang mentioned that the enemy had only two thousand legions, which was a conservative estimate. After several attacks by the ten Shadow Ships, Yuyang had already remade his judgment based on the results of the attacks. The enemy had more troops than he had predicted, and much more. According to Yuyang's judgment based on the latest situation, even if there are no 8,000 legions, there are 5,000, not including the officers and men of the fleet.

You must know that in the Silicon Charm Alliance, the officers and soldiers of the fleet are also warriors, and they can be replenished to the legion at any time to participate in ground battles.

If the officers and men of the fleet are counted, then the enemy's superiority in forces must be more than twenty times.

"Don't worry, we're going to win." Yang Yi let out a long breath, glanced at Shen Chengwen and Jackson, and said, "Although I can't convince you, please believe me again." This is not the end of the line, we will be in the North Alpha system in the future. ”

"Brothers......

"Otherwise, let's make a bet."

"Bet?"

Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "When the battle is over, no matter what kind of request I make, you have to agree." If I don't wait for that moment, I promise to hold on until the last moment, and after doing my best, I will join you under the Nine Springs and continue to be brothers. ”

"You ......"

"Okay, you're so confident, we have to give you face." Shen Chengwen agreed first. "However, bets are bets, and you kid don't take it seriously. If we don't hold out until the moment of victory, you have to live, and remember to burn some paper money for us every year from now on. ”

When Shen Cheng heard this, Jackson nodded, indicating that he also meant the same.

"Okay, then we'll make up our minds and never give up no matter what the situation is. Even if there is only one man left, keep fighting. ”

Yang Yi stretched out his hand, Shen Chengwen and Jackson also stretched out their hands, and the three hands were tightly clasped together.

After Shen Chengwen and Jackson left, Yang Yi did not contact Lin Feng.

Yang Yi didn't want to tell Lin Feng, but he knew that at this time, there must not be the slightest distraction, because even a trace of distraction could make him waver. If he just fought side by side with Jackson and Shen Chengwen as before, Yang Yi would not have many concerns. But now it is different, Yang Yi is responsible for the five million officers and soldiers of the five hundred legions under his command, and he is responsible for the entire Human Federation.

Of course, Yang Yi believes that Lin Feng will definitely understand.

In fact, Yang Yi and Lin Feng are not only lovers, but also comrades-in-arms. From another point of view, if it was Lin Feng on Mars, Yang Yi would also understand.

For Yang Yi, all he has to do now is to keep his spirits up and prepare for the upcoming battle.

For this reason, after Shen Chengwen and Jackson left, Yang Yi fell asleep and soon fell asleep.

This night, Yang Yi slept soundly.

In fact, this is also the most comfortable sleep he has slept in since he came to Beacon Mars.

The battle is about to start, everything that needs to be done is done, all that remains is to fight the enemy and never have to worry about the trivial things again.

As a soldier, Yang Yi is more willing to face a tough enemy than to fight with his own people.

The battle against the Silicon Charm army relies on strength and ability.

A few hours, not short, not long.

When Yuyang arrived and woke Yang Yi up from his sleep, the Silicon Charm Fleet had already arrived and was regrouping in low-Earth orbit outside the atmosphere of Mars.

The battle has begun, but it has nothing to do with the legions on the ground.

According to Yang Yi's arrangement, the ten Shadow Ships launched a final attack, and Otis also led the female warrior guards into battle.

Not to buy time, but to give the enemy a dismount.

To put it simply, if nothing is done, the enemy will be able to calmly complete the preparations before the attack and then launch a full-scale attack. If the enemy is allowed to grasp the initiative in the first round of attack, even if Yang Yi and the others can hold the barracks, they will fall into a situation of being passively beaten. Launching this attack, even if it can't inflict heavy damage on the enemy, it can't stop the enemy from attacking, and it can make the enemy have some scruples.

The key is to let the enemy know that it is not only the human legion that guards Mars, but also the female warrior guards of the Weaver Clan.

As long as the commander of the Silicon Charm fleet realizes that the powerful female samurai guards are also on Mars, then they must be thoughtful when planning the attack. In the case of reservations, it is naturally impossible to go all out, and it is impossible to grasp the initiative on the battlefield at the first opportunity.

Yang Yi's plan is very thorough, but how effective it will be depends on the outcome of the battle. (To be continued.) )
