"Surrender?"

Hearing Yun Yi's words, Lin Jiaoyang was not only not happy, but frowned slightly. As if sensing the change in Lin Jiaoyang's expression, Yun Yi asked in a low voice, "Marshal, is there anything wrong?" ”

"No, nothing." Lin Jiaoyang said lightly: "It's just that I didn't expect them to surrender so soon." The last step of our plan has not yet been realized, and now the enemy still has more than 40,000 warships, and if they surrender, they will inevitably make a lot of demands. ”

The plan was jointly customized by Yun Yi and Lin Jiaoyang, and of course he knew what the last step of the plan was.

Inside the fortress, there are also four main fleets ready to go. Originally, according to Yun Yi and Lin Jiaoyang's plan, after the main artillery bombardment of the fortress was over, these four fleets would be sent out to attack inside and outside, as long as the New Americans did not plan to die here, they would inevitably surrender. But now such a change has taken place, and there are still many remnants of the new American fleet, and it is obviously impossible to surrender unconditionally, and many conditions are bound to be put forward.

"So what should I do, do you need me to refuse?" Yun Yi asked in a low voice.

Lin Jiaoyang groaned slightly, shook his head and said, "No, let's hear what conditions they will put forward first." If the conditions weren't too harsh, I wouldn't want to kill too many people. ”

After Chu Tang agreed to talk to the New American Fleet, the two sides quickly ceased fire, on the one hand, they cautiously stared at each other's movements, for fear that the enemy would take the opportunity to attack, such a thing is not uncommon in space warfare; On the other hand, the two sides unanimously eliminated mechs and warships to rescue the destroyed warships nearby. The battleship was destroyed, and as long as it was not directly powdered by the main guns of the fortress class, some of the crew could be rescued. As long as you are alive and your brain is not damaged, you can return to normal after treatment with current medical conditions.

"That's their condition?" Lin Jiaoyang looked at the information transmitted on the screen, his face full of disdain. "Are these new Americanes all pig brains? How could he put forward so many conditions, thinking that our Chu Tang was so easy to talk to? Look at it, if you don't say anything else, I can't accept the first one! We were asked to return all the captives within three months, and we had to return half of the captured ships! It's funny, why send it back, wait for the next time to be sent to the battlefield? There is also this article, they actually want us to compensate for military spending, have they figured out their own situation? Even if it is a sky-high asking price to bargain, this opening is inevitably big! ”

After the various officers sitting below saw these conditions, they all felt a little funny. Even the orderly who brought tea to these officers could see the exaggeration of this condition, and stood aside and smiled secretly.

"Tell McLean. I, Lin Jiaoyang, gave them 5 minutes to think about it, and if we didn't come up with a sincere surrender condition, we would open fire immediately. ”

Yun Yi suddenly said: "Marshal, the [Sea Serpent] that McLean was riding on has disappeared from the battlefield after the main cannon of the fortress was fired. Subordinates estimate that there is a more than 99% chance that the Sea Serpent has been hit by the fortress's main guns. ”

"Huh? So, McLean is dead? Lin Jiaoyang pinched your chin, sighed slightly, and after a while, he waved his hand and said: "Now the two deputy commanders in charge of the fleet should be the two deputy commanders, probably because of disagreement, otherwise they would not have put forward such unacceptable conditions at first glance." Just send it as I just said, hmm...... As an added note, if they can't come up with terms that are satisfactory to me, I don't mind waiting until they have only one deputy commander left. ”

"Yes, Marshal."

……

That's right, McLean did die during the main artillery attack on the fort. The flagship he was riding on, the Sea Serpent, was at the center of the entire fleet at that time, and it was also the central axis of the blue pillar of light emitted by the main guns of the fortress. Now in charge of the fleet are two deputy commanders-in-chief whose positions are only below McLean.

Under McLean's strength, the two deputy commanders-in-chief did not have the slightest power, not even the right to advise and command, and were squeezed out of the fleet in charge of the two wings by McLean. But it is precisely because of this that the two deputy commanders-in-chief are lucky to survive. After the purgatory-like blow of Chu Tang, they had already been frightened and chose to surrender unanimously.

With the current strength of the new United States, surrender could be partially conditional.

But on top of the conditions, the two had serious differences. It cannot be said to be a disagreement, but a prevarication. No one would be willing to let that condition that was so unfavorable to the new America come out of his mouth, in which case, even if he returned to the new America, he would be the object of national revival, and the other would be a hero because he stood up for the interests of the new America. That's why there are so many conditions that make people laugh.

After receiving the reply, the two were once again mired in endless arguments.

Both of them knew that they had to put forward some conditions that would satisfy Chu Tang, but for the sake of their future political careers, no one was willing to put them forward first. Soon, the five-minute time was up. In desperation, they had to send over the terms of surrender with some minor modifications.

In the fortress, Lin Jiaoyang only glanced at it, then waved his hand and said, "Tell them that the negotiations are broken." Ordered, the ten main fleets outside the fortress to continue the offensive. The four main fleets inside the fortress were also sent out to strike from behind! ”

"Wait." Lin Jiaoyang said again: "Let them concentrate all their firepower to attack the left flank of the enemy, and there is only one commander left, I believe he will understand what to do." ”

After passing the order, Yun Yi looked at the two fleets in space, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Marshal, we can try to destroy the battleship that the enemy commander is riding with the main guns of the fortress." ”

Lin Jiaoyang said with a smile: "You are whimsical, now the fortress is less than forty percent charged, with the combat effectiveness of our fourteen main fleets, the battle can be resolved in five minutes at most." When he said this, Lin Jiaoyang didn't see Yun Yi's hands tapping rapidly on the keyboard.

Yun Yi: "[Sakura], how sure are you that what you said will work?" ”

A line of words immediately appeared on the screen: "Boss, people can now integrate the super artificial intelligence of the [Kirin] host, you don't look down on others like this." ”

Yun Yi: "Then tell me, how sure are you?" “

A line of dots appeared on the "......" screen, as if something was being calculated, until the end a number and a line of words popped up: "85.190432%, boss, no one has used the caliber of the main gun and the energy compression system of the fortress since the day the fortress was built, and the maintenance has been continuing, and I don't know if the accuracy can meet the standard." ”

"Eighty-five percent? It should work! Thinking of this, Yun Yi immediately said: "Marshal, I found out from the [Qilin] information that the main cannon of the fortress can compress the caliber of the main gun and carry out small-caliber attacks when the energy is not full. Although the caliber was reduced, the firing range did not decrease much. At this distance, you can kill the enemy commander directly! ”

Listening to Yun Yi's words, Lin Jiaoyang was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of this technology of reducing the caliber of the main gun. But he also understood that Yun Yi could not deceive him, so he set his sights on Yan Zhongfei, the commander of the fortress.

Yan Zhongfei looked confused, thought for a moment, and then patted his thigh and said, "Marshal, the main gun of the fortress does have such a function. When it was first built, it was designed to be able to form a precise strike on some important targets without completing the charge. However, from the day the fortress was built to the present, it has not been used, and no one knows how effective it is. ”

Lin Jiaoyang hesitated slightly, turned his head to Yun Yi and said, "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes!" Yun Yi replied.

For Lin Jiaoyang, he understood very well that the reason why the enemy was unwilling to surrender immediately was because of the mutual bargaining between the two commanders. Just kill one of them, and the other will soon be able to do what he wants. But the commander's flagship is almost all under the layers of protection of the battleship, and it is not something he can kill if he wants to. Even if Chu Tang now has the upper hand and wants to storm and kill a flagship that the commander is riding, he will lose at least more than five thousand warships.

"Hehe, then you can try it. Anyway, when the main cannon is fully charged, this battle will definitely be over. ”

Yun Yi was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you Marshal for your trust." ”

After saying that, he crackled and started operating on the keyboard. Lin Jiaoyang glanced at him a little dotingly, although it was strange why he would control the main gun here, instead of going to the weapon control center to use the advanced equipment there, but he knew very well that Yun Yi had never been an adventurous person, and he would never do things that he was not sure of, so he had to go.

In the middle of space, the two deputy commanders of New America looked at the main fleet of Chu Tang that was surrounded in a semi-arc, and then looked at the warships that kept pouring out of the fortress behind them, and their hearts were full of despair.

But now, none of them dared to open their mouths to surrender first.

Whoever brings it up first will be ruined! This has been proven many times in the history of the New United States.

After the four fleets that poured out of the fortress were in place, the fourteen Chutang fleets had formed an all-round encirclement, encircling the remnants of the New American fleet. When the encirclement is closed, it gradually approaches it, and when it is within range of the main gun, it will open fire.

And just then, the terrifying main cannon of the Unicorn Fortress actually stopped charging. But if you look at it from the front of the main gun, you will see the subtle changes that are taking place in the dark alloy barrel, and the muzzle is getting smaller and smaller. Although no changes can be seen from the outside, in fact the diameter of this main gun has been reduced to about ten meters.

This is already not much different from the main gun of an ordinary flagship-class battleship.

The change in the muzzle of the gun was so subtle that almost no one could see it. Suddenly, the change stopped, and then a beam of blue light erupted at an extremely high and very fast speed, this blue light was extremely short, but the rich blue told everyone who saw it not to underestimate it.

The speed of the blue light was extremely fast, and it crossed the starry sky in an instant, like a lightning bolt in the starry sky, and before people could see it and capture it, this short and thin blue light passed through Chu Tang's encirclement and plunged straight into the left side of the New American ship group.

The beam was so fast that few people saw it at all. Even if someone sees it occasionally, it's just a glimpse of it, and they don't know what's going on.

Yun Yi nervously looked at the new American ship group on the screen, and the blue light shot in from one end close to the fortress, and then from the opposite end, and finally disappeared into the vast starry sky. Three or four seconds passed, and the time was still increasing by second. However, there was no change in the ship, which made him itch, but he could only look at the screen and wait.

Suddenly, several battleships in the encirclement were preparing to resist the violent shaking of several battleships on the left flank of the New American Fleet of the Chu Tang Army, and then, as if a chain reaction, the explosions of these shaking battleships one after another, and the flames continued to emerge from the New American Fleet, and if you look closely, you can find that these battleships in the explosion are actually connected in a line.

"It's finished?" Yun Yi looked at the screen with some uncertainty, the electromagnetic interference generated by the explosion made him unable to see the screen clearly, and he didn't know if he had hit the target.

"Congratulations boss, the mission has been successfully completed, and the commander of the enemy's left flank has been killed!"

A line of words immediately appeared on the screen, and without guessing, Yun Yi knew who sent it. As if to verify this line, a communication connection came in, and Yun Yi was happy when he saw it, because this communication was sent from the flagship of the New American Right Wing Commander.

"Marshal, the enemy army has announced its unconditional surrender!"

……

The sixth unicorn battle finally ended with Chu Tang's victory.

As the losing side, a total of 77,000 warships were completely destroyed, 53,000 warships were damaged to varying degrees, and 46,000 surrendered. At the cost of tens of millions of New American officers and soldiers, the losses can be said to be extremely heavy. This is tantamount to a fatal blow to the new United States, which has only 250,000 capital warships. In the entire New American Federal Government, except for the 50,000 troops who suppressed the rebellious subhuman tribes in the eastern starry sky, the main fleet that the entire Federation could use was only two fleets, that is, 30,000 warships!

The so-called defending Chu Tang Empire only paid the loss of less than 10,000 warships, as well as the engines of 50,000 old warships, and hundreds of strong alloy fortress passage gates.

In this battle, Chu Tang once again announced her strength to the whole universe, and also told everyone what kind of existence the Unicorn Fortress is.

Of course, this battle once again pushed the reputation of Marshal Lin Jiaoyang of Chu and Tang to a point. Almost everyone in the Southern Universe believes that Lin Jiaoyang is the most outstanding military commander in the history of the Southern Universe. Such a proud record, and only such a famous player, can be created.

The entire Chu and Tang Dynasties, whether it is the northernmost Songzhou Star Domain, the southernmost Xingzhou Star Domain, or the Zhongzhou Star Domain where the capital is located, all celebrated and sang the praises of Lin Jiaoyang.

As everyone knows, on the occasion of the arrival of the New American Army, Chu Xiuling, as the representative of the royal family, did not say anything, and Prime Minister Qin Shou only symbolically sent two fleets, and the entire fortress was said to have won the final victory completely by relying on Lin Jiaoyang's amazing military command.

The people of Chu and Tang who lived for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe took to the streets to celebrate, and with the guidance of well-intentioned people and the praise of TV stations, Lin Jiaoyang's reputation suddenly rose sharply, even surpassing the former emperor Chu Tianyun. Now all over Chu and Tang, you can not know who Chu Xiuling is, you don't know who Qin Shou is, and you can even not know who Chu Tianyun is, but you can't not know who Lin Jiaoyang is!

In this battle, what Lin Jiaoyang gained was not only prestige and popular support.

Before the battle, there were only ten main fleets that declared obedience to Lin Jiaoyang's command. Among the other main fleets, Chu Xiuling has four fleets, Qin Shou has eight, Unicorn Fortress has six, and the other six fleets, although they are independent. After the battle, Lin Jiaoyang directly received the six fleets of the Unicorn Fortress and the four fleets that came to support, plus the forces he originally controlled, the strength of his troops quickly expanded to twenty fleets, and he became the undisputed uncrowned king of Chu Tang.

Among the eight star domains of Chu and Tang, because Lin Jiaoyang's voice is extremely high, the entire five star domains of Weizhou, Xingzhou, Kuangzhou, Juzhou, and Guzhou, plus half of the Hanzhou star field, are completely in Lin Jiaoyang's hands. In addition, one-third of the Zhongzhou Star Domain and one-fourth of the Songzhou Star Domain were also controlled by Lin Jiaoyang.

These places were either controlled by Qin Shou before, or they were independent. After the victory of the unicorn war, the control of these regions could already see that the future of Chu Tang was definitely in the hands of Lin Jiaoyang, so he sent someone to surrender to Lin Jiaoyang without saying a word.

……

In the unicorn fortress, Lin Jiaoyang sat quietly in his office, not knowing what he was thinking.

The door of the office was suddenly pushed open, Lin Jiaoyang raised his head, and when he saw that it was Yun Yi, he got up and smiled: "Just sit down." ”

Yun Yi sat down casually, chatted with Lin Jiaoyang for a while, and noticed that Lin Jiaoyang was a little absent-minded. This made Yun Yi feel very strange, the victory of a big battle, no matter what, Lin Jiaoyang, as the commander, should also be happy.

After he asked the doubts in his heart, he got a wry smile from Lin Jiaoyang.

Lin Jiaoyang didn't tell him what he was thinking, just stood up and came to the window to look out.

As soon as the battle of the Unicorn Fortress ended, Lin Jiaoyang ordered the people he had arranged on various planets in advance to build momentum for this victory and promote him Lin Jiaoyang through remote communication, which caused a wave of celebration that swept the entire Chu Tang Dynasty and pushed his reputation to the top.

But even so, Lin Jiaoyang had a trace of hesitation in his heart.

In the first half of his life, he has been working for this empire and the Chu family. But now, asking him to seize this country is really an extremely difficult thing for Lin Jiaoyang.

What's more, he wasn't completely sure.

Chu Tianyun has an extraordinary relationship with him, and as an emperor, he has done quite well even in the entire history of Chu and Tang. This directly led to the fact that among the people of the empire, there were not many people who had a good impression of Chu Tianyun. Coupled with the long-term imperial education, the idea of "this empire belongs to the Chu family, and I am the slave of the Chu family" has been deeply buried in everyone's mind.

So, if he wants to build his own business, it's not an easy thing to do.

The best way is to take a prince into his own hands like Qin Shou and achieve the effect of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the world". can control a prince, before Lin Jiaoyang left the Chang'an department, it can be said to be an extremely simple matter. But now, he can't enter the Chang'an department at all. And not because of those four fleets. It is undeniable that the four royal fleets are the best in the entire empire in terms of equipment and personnel, but Lin Jiaoyang, who has experienced a hundred battles and has twenty fleets under his command, can completely attack the Chang'an system with an overwhelming victory.

But in that case, he will also become the target of scolding from the people of Chu and Tang, and it is better to declare independence directly.

"How do I get a prince......

Lin Jiaoyang looked out the window into the distance, pinched his chin, and muttered.
