869 Unexpected
"The Star God blew itself up!"
After the Ceres and the Rain, the Star became the third human warship to self-detonate, and the remaining fifty crystal missiles of the Thor were not launched after all.
Ye Fei's face tightened, his two hands tightly clasped the armrests of the command chair, and the cyan veins on the back of his hands swelled like earthworms: "How is the Zhishen?" β
"The Wisdom God is moderately damaged and is being evacuated...... The latest news from the Homo Sin, the enemy used concentrated fire in battle, increasing the effective range of the disintegration beam by one and a half times. β
"Reply to the Homo Chinensis, persist in the battle, and order the second and third echelons to immediately move closer to the Homo Sin...... Command them to survey the neighborhood as quickly as possible to find a safe space available; Order the sixth and seventh echelons to move towards the fifth echelon, shrinking the spacing to within two light seconds! After surviving the initial panic, Ye Fei quickly made the decision that was most beneficial to the battle situation.
According to the news sent back by the reconnaissance ship, the Star God entered a superluminal state before the self-explosion, and the position of the self-explosion happened to be in the enemy's warship group, so it killed the enemy ships besieging a large force, and brought a ray of life to the Zhishen - as many as forty enemy ships besieging the two battleships, and directly blocked the Star God and Zhishen in the first echelon in the case of a close raid, otherwise the two battleships directly entered the speed of light, and the Atlanteans may not be able to block them.
The Fengshen and Vesta, which were in the second echelon, and the Tenjin and Shuishen, which were in the third echelon, were only attacked by a part of the enemy ships, and were in a much better situation than the first echelon in front and the fourth echelon behind, given that most of the enemy forces in front were annihilated. The situation in the rear was still unclear, and Ye Fei gave up his intention to regroup the fleet.
War is the process by which the commanders of both sides guess each other's intentions, and after the battle begins, the enemy in charge of interception in the rear is concentrating, but there is no sign of approaching, and it is likely that he is waiting for the concentration of the advancing fleet.
Forty light-seconds is not far for both the enemy and us, and blocking the retreat of the advancing fleet is only something that can be done in minutes.
Originally, the advancing fleet had always held the initiative in the battle, but all of a sudden everything changed, and it was just a successful counterattack. The whole shape is completely reversed.
You can see it. The enemy's plan is very thorough, Ye Fei is a wrong step, if he continues to fight according to the enemy's combat rhythm, this battle will lose the last hope.
Deal with the situation. The most effective way is to disrupt the enemy's arrangement by surprise.
Of course, there is another possibility. It is the enemy who wants to concentrate on eating the first four echelons after cutting off the fleet. However, if this is done, there is no need to divide forces to block the retreat of the advancing fleet.
In the end, the enemy did not even carry out any interfering offensive against the ships after the fifth echelon. The reason is most likely the insufficient strength of the enemy forces.
If we continue to think along this line, it is also possible that the Atlanteans' intention is to compress the living space of the advancing fleet, and eventually force the fleet out of the safe passage, taking advantage of the unknown dangers in the reef area to destroy the advancing fleet.
Ye Fei couldn't guess the enemy's tactics for the time being, but he knew that there were not many enemy ships left near the Zhishen, so instead of risking turning around and rushing back, he didn't have to continue to advance into the depths of the passage - any sane commander would make escaping the passage their first choice, and Ye Fei was no exception.
However, the enemy expected that Ye Fei would lead the fleet to continue deeper, so that there would be a chance to get rid of the enemy's entanglement and regain the initiative.
All thoughts flashed through Ye Fei's mind, and he immediately ordered: "Inform the Thor to retract the suspension shield and immediately move towards the fifth echelon, and our ship will be responsible for breaking off." β
The Thor immediately took the initiative to ask for the break, but Ye Fei felt that his commander was not so expensive that he needed to escape, so he immediately rejected the Thor's request and sternly ordered the Thor to set off immediately.
After the Thor flew over the turn, the enemy forces in the rear began to move, and there were signs of movement towards the God of War, Ye Fei hurriedly ordered: "Gather the suspension shield, Jiang Xue, can you drive the turn backwards?" β
"Small!" Jiang Xue suddenly turned the bridge one hundred and eighty degrees and switched the order of the manipulation signal.
Since the magnetic engine replaced the traditional recoil engine, the most vulnerable tail of the human warship has become the same strong place as the bow, and the movement of the magnetic engine is not divided into front and back, left and right, it does not matter which direction, so as long as the signal from the bridge is adjusted, you can achieve free switching between forward and backward flight.
Nearly a hundred enemy ships gathered together and began to approach the Arest, and the Aress gathered its twelve levitating shields at the bow of the ship, and made a smooth turn.
Judging from the detection results of the optical system, the distance between the two sides is still more than 30 light seconds, but considering the lag of light propagation, Ye Fei estimated that the actual distance between the enemy and the God of War should be only 20 light seconds, or even less than 20 light seconds.
He suddenly felt a feeling of extreme remorse, why didn't he put a few satellites to monitor the situation behind him just now, knowing that the enemy was behind him?
But it's not too late.
Ye Fei just had a thought, and a reconnaissance satellite only the size of a watermelon and disguised as an asteroid flew out of the gravity cannon on the port side of the God of War.
Although it was fired from a gravity cannon, the speed of the disembowel of this thing was comparable to the flight speed of a battleship, which meant that the satellite would not fly away after being disemboweled, but would remain suspended in place.
Don't look at the small size of this thing, but the function is very powerful, and the cost is directly proportional to the function. The small resonance communicator inside the satellite alone consumed 95 percent of the cost of the entire satellite.
But it was completely worth it, and after the satellite flew away from the battleship for ten light-seconds, it crashed head-on into the Atlantis fleet, and dozens of location information were quickly transmitted to the fire control system of the Ares,
A beam of disintegrating light flashed, and the defenseless satellite vanished in an instant.
Asteroids that fly around are very eye-catching, asteroids that don't fly...... Catch the eye in this place as well!
This passage is flanked by extremely dangerous airspace, and as far as the eye can see, if the fragments of the battleship are still reasonable, where did the asteroid jump from?
Don't think of the Atlanteans as stupid, on the contrary, their average intelligence is stronger than that of humans, just not as lucky as humans.
The positions of dozens of enemy ships were enough, and the moment the number of jΓΉ was transmitted back to the God of War, Ye Fei decisively gave the order to shoot at the scissors. (To be continued......)
