Chapter Thirty-Eight: The New Yi Xun (8)
Xu Rui, who ended the short military meeting, still looked preoccupied.
He knew very well that after this battle, the fleet that he had commanded for half a year would probably be wiped out.
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply. Ever since he accepted Chairman Liang Zecheng's order half a year ago and was withdrawn from Qi Daoxue's First Fleet and sent here, he still thought that he was being squeezed out by other factions. But Xu Rui, who was loyal to Zhao Song and the empress, was not discouraged by this, and accepted the order happily. In his heart, he still holds trust in the organization, hoping that one day, the organization will be able to transfer him back to the First Fleet and contribute his strength to the great cause of restoring the country.
But when he came here and knew everything, it dawned on him.
It was not that he had been pushed out into the middle of nowhere, but that it was because of his loyalty and ability that he had been entrusted with the interests of Berwick by the top brass of the Restoration Army.
What made Xu Rui even more excited was that the supreme governor of this hidden planet turned out to be Yunyi, who had protected Her Royal Highness the princess from Isseras and single-handedly laid the foundation for Berwick's development!
Everyone in the upper echelons of Berwick has a deep sense of gratitude and incomparable reverence for this young man named Yunyi. If it weren't for him, the current Restoration Army would have been wiped out by the army of Iseras, and even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be like lost dogs, wandering on the border between Iserras and other countries. And it is precisely because of this lord that the Restoration Army has today's huge territory and fleet, and has the strength to compete with Isseras.
Just like many people in the Restoration Army, the person Xu Rui respects the most is Princess Zhao Xiyue, the person he admires the most is Chairman Liang Zecheng, and the person he admires the most is Yun Yi.
Therefore, after seeing the name of Cloud Wing, he immediately realized that this was not the desolate place he had guessed before, but an extremely important military place for the future of the empire. After figuring this out, Xu Rui devoted himself to his work and tried to control his army. He knew the gap between himself and Chu Tang's veterans who had been through a hundred battles, and when he had time, he would ask others for advice, whether the other party was a general, a lieutenant or a veteran, he was not ashamed to ask, and tried his best to absorb knowledge. And he is usually approachable, and those officers from Chu Tang are also willing to be with him, in just half a year, Xu Rui not only firmly controlled this fleet, but also raised his military level to a pretty good level.
Qi Daoxue once said that Xu Rui has the potential to become a famous general, but lacks an environment for him to grow up.
Now the environment is there, although it is very simple, but it has greatly improved Xu Rui.
For the future, Xu Rui is full of confidence, and even predicts that in a few years, when the empire counterattacks Isseras, he may also be able to lead a fleet to overcome obstacles and dedicate his strength to the great cause of the empire.
But now, the appearance of a mysterious fleet has made Xu Rui's future collapse in an instant.
"Cloud Master...... If you were in my place, what would you do? I believe that there must be something extremely important about your Excellency at this moment, so that you will not be able to participate in the meeting, and it will not be the escape of the battle as Olohia said. My lord, I believe in you, no matter what, I will hold the line firmly and never let these enemies ruin your plans! ”
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Xu Rui's eyes, and he resolutely strode into the flagship command room.
He didn't notice that at the top of his spaceship, there was an orange-red mecha standing prominently. Not only did he not find it, but all the ships in the entire fleet did not find it, whether it was optical reconnaissance or electromagnetic reconnaissance, they could not find this mecha. Unless someone looks at it with the naked eye within a kilometer of the flagship, they can barely spot this mecha.
That's right, this mecha is the cloud wing of the pilot. Equipped with the New World Federation's most advanced stealth technology, it is impossible for these reconnaissance devices to detect its existence. It's not that Yunyi wants to hide anything, otherwise it would have gone into stealth before it left the atmosphere.
"I wonder what kind of expression the enemy will have when the two armies exchange fire, and suddenly find such a mecha jumping out of the weak opposing fleet?"
Among the mechas, Yun Yi said to himself, and after half a sound, he sighed: "I don't ask for anything, I just hope that nothing will happen to this experimental machine at that time......"
……
Twenty minutes later, the 2,500 warships led by Xu Rui arrived at the place where the safe space bordered the Shattered Star Belt, and immediately arranged for the fleet to form an arc formation most suitable for defense.
Ten minutes after completing the arming, a huge black shadow appeared in the front of the shattered star belt, and from time to time some blue beams could be seen shooting out, and a huge explosive aura erupted after contact with the high-speed flying shattered star.
"It's coming! Attention ships, after the enemy's advance enters the range of the main gun, use the No. 4 firing procedure to attack the enemy from a long distance! ”
Xu Rui's order was transmitted to the command room of each ship in an instant, and on each ship, everyone looked at the huge black shadow and couldn't help but sweat, and looked at the shadow of death approaching at high speed with great nervousness.
An old captain didn't look confused at all, his eyes fixed on the ever-changing data on the screen.
When that data reached a certain standard, the old captain smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly shouted: "Main gun, fire!" ”
At the same time, among the 2,500 warships, at least 700 of the front of the ships suddenly lit up, and 700 dazzling blue beams of light stabbed fiercely at the black shadow that had already appeared like sharp arrows.
Without sound, there is no sound in space.
However, it has a dazzling brilliance.
Clusters of dazzling flames ignited in front of the black shadow, each flame represented the explosion of a battleship, and also represented that most of the members of the battleship lost their lives at the moment of the explosion.
Only five seconds after the first round of shots, another line of beams came out.
After three rounds of firing, the 2,500 warships led by Xu Rui began to slowly retreat, seizing the time to recharge their main guns while retreating.
In the flagship, Xu Rui's cold voice sounded again: "The second and third fleets, carry out a missile attack on the target location!" ”
While the two detachments and 1,000 warships retreated, the top and belly armor bounced off to the sides, and one after another super-heavy missiles hundreds of meters long were sent out. Immediately, the small engines at the tail end of the missiles began to work, spraying back a stream of pale blue particles, propelling the missiles towards the black shadow.
Standing at the top of the flagship, Yun Yi, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but nodded. He was well aware that it was impossible for these slow-flying missiles to cause much damage to the enemy. However, this is the most accurate time to drop missiles, on the one hand, it can delay the enemy's speed and seize time to recharge the main gun. On the other hand, the explosion of missiles can cause certain splinters to change direction, and under the control of high-performance optical brains, these missiles can be used to transfer the direction of splinters to the enemy's large fleet.
From this point alone, Yun Yi could see that this officer named Xu Rui already had a good fleet command ability. Although it is not as good as veterans like Xu Tianyuan, Xiahou Undefeated and Qi Daoxue, it is already rare to get Berwick who lacks personnel. Yun Yi has already made up his mind, and after this battle is over, he will send Xu Rui to the Tower Shield Military Academy for training for a few years, and when he graduates from the Tower Shield Academy, he will become a rising star!
Time passed minute by minute in the constant firing and retreat of the First Fleet.
Finally, when the enemy's vanguard was about to reach the border of safe space, Xu Rui's fleet stopped retreating. Continue to retreat, although you can use the advantage of distance and speed to bombard with the main gun several times, but that is because the enemy has broken away from the shackles of the Death Shatter Belt, the two sides are in the same environment, and in the case of the enemy's numerical superiority, Xu Rui's fleet will definitely be wiped out in a very short time.
Therefore, Xu Rui must let the fleet be firmly nailed here like a nail, intercept the enemy in the shattered star belt, and use the battleship's main guns and shattered star stream to strike at the enemy.
But in this way, Xu Rui's fleet will also enter the range of the enemy's main guns, and the next thing is a brutal fire.
Xu Rui obviously didn't want to wait for death like this, and under an order, the side ejection channels of the two thousand five hundred battleships were all opened, and each Wumu-class battleship could carry ten mechas. In an instant, 25,000 Ares mecha with blue and white livery were ejected and fiercely pounced on the enemy fleet.
At the same time, the black shadow also expanded several times in a very short period of time, and those enlarged black dots each formed a small black mist, rushing towards the safe space.
Battleship vs. battleship, mech vs. mech!
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Yun Yi's mouth. In an instant, Yi Xun's appearance changed drastically, and the original orange-red appearance turned into the blue and white paint of the God of War mecha in a very short period of time, and with the support of the stealth system, it shot towards the black mist at high speed.
