Chapter 460: Buying Time
The heavy shelling lasted a full fifteen minutes, and by the time the last shell had fallen and everything had calmed down, even Otis was almost exhausted.
In just fifteen minutes, those projectile cannons dropped at least a thousand Atomic Energy shells.
In order to protect the command center of the barracks, Otis used her own original energy to prop up the energy barrier. Although several female warriors were on her side to help, Otis was unable to withstand the repeated bombardment of the Atomic Cannonballs. The point is, she has to not only block those shells, but also absorb and convert the original energy in the shells. If the original energy inside the cannonball is allowed to spread, the entire barracks will be blown into ruins.
The heavy weapons of the Lei Ling Clan are definitely not to be underestimated.
Seeing Otis's exhausted appearance, Yang Yi didn't feel a good feeling in his heart. If it weren't for his overconfidence, or the fact that he thought that taking the initiative would buy more time, the battle would not have broken out immediately, and the barracks command center would not have been shelled by the enemy.
"It should be the Fourth Legion."
Hearing Carlson's words, Yang Yi looked back at him.
"Over there, that guy is Hank, he's the commander of the Fourth Legion and one of the best. Only the Fourth Army under his command could have been thrown into battle so quickly, and if it were any other legion, it would certainly not have moved so quickly, let alone attack immediately after the reconnaissance force was attacked. Carlson gestured towards the enemy's camp. Obviously, we're in trouble. ”
"He's amazing?"
Carlson nodded and said, "He's a new generation of soldiers, and he didn't fight in the Fifth Greenwich War, so it's hard to figure out. ”
Yang Yi's brow jumped a few times and looked towards Hank.
"Fortunately, only half the strength of the legion. If it was the entire Fourth Army that arrived. We can't hold it. ”
"Is he powerful, or is his Fourth Legion powerful?"
Carlson was slightly stunned and looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.
"In other words, would the Fourth Army still be able to launch a decent offensive without him?"
"Probably not."
This time, it was Yang Yi's turn to be puzzled.
"It stands to reason. A legion without a commander is a mess, but this is only for other legions, and this is not necessarily the case with the Fourth Legion built by him. ”
"Anyway, it's worth a try."
Carlson pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. Now there is no other way, and even if it doesn't work, it can only take the risk and try.
Yang Yi didn't ramble and called Yuyang over.
The situation was urgent, and the approaching enemy could attack at any time after the shelling was over. Otherwise, they will continue to bombard the barracks command center with heavy artillery. The enemy's commander must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otis was exhausted, and the situation of the other female warriors was not much better, and the combat power of Yuyang and the others was really limited, and they were definitely not the opponents of the commander of the Lei Ling Clan. At this time, only Yang Yi was able to deal with Hank.
Of course, Yang Yi has to make arrangements before then.
It would be great to be able to take out the Legion Commander named Hank, even if the Fourth Legion did not collapse because of this, it would temporarily stop the attack due to the loss of unified command. All that is needed now is time, as long as the battle underground is over. Shen Chengwen returned with twenty legions, not to mention the enemy of only half a legion. Even if all the Lei Ling clan legions who entered the barracks came, they would not be afraid.
The problem is, if you can't kill Hank, you have to be prepared.
Fortunately, after discovering that it was several main legions that entered the barracks, Yang Yi was prepared. discussed with Yuyang how to deal with the unexpected situation.
"Remember, if our operation fails, the primary purpose is to preserve the troops."
Yuyang nodded and agreed, but it was not a taste in his heart.
When discussing with Yang Yi, Yuyang knew. Yang Yi didn't think about his own safety at all, and his main concern was the officers and soldiers of the twenty legions. In Yang Yi's words, these twenty legions are the hope of the Human Federation, and they must not be buried in this ghost place. As long as the officers and men of these twenty legions are still there, even if only a few are lucky enough to survive, there is hope that one day in the future, they will lead the human legion to defeat the invading enemy. Although Yang Yi did not say it explicitly, Yuyang knew very well in his heart that Yang Yi was ready to make sacrifices for his soldiers at any time. It's just that before that, Yuyang didn't believe that he would come to this point at all, no matter how bad the situation was, it would not be the commander's turn to fight the enemy.
"I'll go with you."
The words that suddenly came from behind him startled Yang Yi, but Yang Yi reacted immediately.
"Otis, you're in a bad state right now, and you're ......"
"No matter how bad my state is, I'm better than you." Otis was resolute. "That guy is a real master, his combat power is definitely above the human warriors, and even on par with your earth soul warriors, and you are only a tenth-level warrior, not his opponent at all."
Yang Yi sighed secretly and said, "Don't worry, if you can't beat it, I will escape." ”
"With your ability, you can escape from him?"
Yang Yi was a little speechless, but it was difficult to explain.
"Yes, in my current state, I may not be his opponent, but we can definitely beat him together. Obviously, it's much better than if you went on an adventure alone. ”
"Otis ......"
"All I need is some time, and once I'm recovered, it's going to be easy to take him off."
Otis said so resolutely that Yang Yi didn't even know what to say.
"How much time do you need?" Yuyang asked at this time.
"Half an hour at most."
Yuyang nodded slightly and said, "I have a way, maybe I can get half an hour." ”
"What's the solution?" Otis immediately asked.
"Attack the enemy's fleet."
Otis was stunned for a moment, and Yang Yi didn't quite understand Yuyang.
"Of course, instead of attacking according to the plan that had been made, it was a swift, fierce attack with a quick solution."
"What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, it is to convince the commander of the Lei Ling fleet that the enemy has not only been ambushed on the slag star for a long time, but also sent a fleet." Yuyang paused slightly, and then said, "Don't forget, the enemy's capital ships have left, and now there are only a few capital ships, and the others are all small warships. As long as the fleet commander is timid, he contacts the ground forces and prepares them for a hard battle. As long as that Hank is not too arrogant, after receiving the message from the fleet command, he will stop the attack. ”
"Or an immediate all-out offensive." Yang Yi answered.
"If he has enough troops at his disposal, he will definitely launch a full-scale attack immediately. The problem is that he only brought half a corps of troops. What's more, he didn't know how many enemies there were in the barracks command center. If we launch a counterattack at this time, even if it is only a limited counterattack, he will conclude that the previous shelling has not had any effect, and that we have enough troops. Yuyang smiled faintly and said, "Obviously, with insufficient troops, he will definitely not rashly launch a full-scale attack." ”
"The problem is, we don't have the forces to launch a counterattack." Carlson said next to him.
"Staff officers of the headquarters."
Carlson was slightly stunned and looked at Yang Yi.
After Yuyang finished speaking, Otis also looked at Yang Yi.
In fact, Otis knew very well that Yang Yi's decision to deal with the enemy's commander was mainly due to self-blame, that is, to make up for the mistakes he had made before.
As the enemy advanced towards the command center of the barracks, Yang Yi had Otis launch a tentative attack with several female warriors. Although the battle went well, and the female samurai easily took out the reconnaissance troops that came forward, but it also exposed their presence. Immediately after that, the enemy's large forces stopped and began outside the barracks command center, followed by a fifteen-minute artillery bombardment.
If there had not been that battle, there would have been no shelling at first, at least not so soon.
The question is, what's the use of Yang Yi blaming himself?
After pondering for a while, Yang Yi sighed and nodded slightly.
Yuyang didn't ask much, and immediately went to give orders.
Yang Yi is indeed blaming himself, and he wants to make up for his mistakes through actions. It's just that he didn't lose his mind because of this, and he knew that there was little point in doing so. More importantly, the method proposed by Yuyang is indeed feasible. Even if it was only to temporarily repel the enemy, it was enough to fight for half an hour.
When Otis recovers, she can easily kill the guy named Hank.
In addition, half an hour later, maybe Shen Chengwen arrived with a large army.
In a short time, Yuyang organized hundreds of staff officers from the headquarters.
Although the manpower is not very large, and most of the staff officers have no actual combat experience, they are all soldiers and have received combat training from the special reconnaissance team.
At the same time, Otis also gave orders to the ten Shadow Ships.
According to Yuyang's request, the ten Shadow Ships will concentrate on their actions to launch a swift and fierce attack on the Thunder Ling Clan's fleet, and retreat as soon as the attack is complete. Yang Yi also made some additions, that is, the target of the attack was mainly the transport spacecraft with poor defense capabilities. It doesn't require many ships to be destroyed, as long as it can destroy a few transport ships and let the commander of the Thunder Clan fleet know about their existence.
It took only five minutes to give orders and schedule tasks.
It's just that it will take some time to adjust the battle plan, especially to let the ten Shadow Ships converge together to attack, and Yang Yi and the others can only wait patiently.
According to Yuyang, it is necessary to let the Shadow Ship attack first, and then launch a counterattack.
Only in this way will Hank be able to receive a message from the fleet command before Yang Yi and the others launch a counterattack, and will he have reservations in the battle.
So, will the attack of ten Shadow Ships be successful?
Not to mention Yang Yi, even Otis is not completely sure.
If it is only against those small warships that remain, the problem is not very big. But before that, several capital ships arrived with the convoy. In other words, ten Shadow Ships have to face the main ship of the Lei Ling Clan, and it is not one. Even if you use hit-and-run tactics, you may not be able to achieve your goal. You must know that in front of the capital ship of the Lei Ling Clan, even the Shadow Ship does not have an absolute advantage. (To be continued.) )
