"Good! From now on, you are the soldiers of the Empire, let us defend our territory together! Princess Hongyu said very excitedly.

The people's convoy was temporarily incorporated into the convoy, and all of them were under the unified command of the supreme commander of the convoy.

The commander is also a veteran general who has fought for many years, he is a general of Princess Hongyu's grandfather's generation, named Bohn, and he has rich combat experience.

Born quickly made a count of the people's escort fleet, and according to the different characteristics of the battleships, they were organized into three groups of attack forces.

High-speed mobile warships generally have a relatively close range, and these warships are specially responsible for covering the output of heavy warships.

Medium-speed warships were the most, and this was also due to the need for merchant escorts, too fast and too brittle, and too slow to meet the requirements of the convoy.

The attack, defense and range of medium-speed warships are relatively moderate, and the old general uses this type of battleship as the main force to carry the enemy head-on.

As for those battleships with heavy firepower, they will cooperate with the defense of the planetary orbit of the spaceport to resist the enemy's surprise attack on the capital star.

The enemy now has close to 200 million warships, plus one large flagship and two smaller flagships of the Zerg.

Compared with the combat power of the two sides, the Hongyu Empire's side is much weaker. The only thing we can rely on now is the automatic defense of the Capital Star and the Spaceport.

The mechanical warfare men on the front line and the rest of the fleet were hurrying back, and they were too far away from the gateway, and it would take at least twenty minutes to arrive.

Now not only Princess Hongyu, but also the other generals are very anxious. However, what they are most worried about is not whether the combat strength of the front line can rush back, but when Lin Yifan's support troops will arrive.

Lin Yifan told them to hold out for at least an hour before his troops could arrive. According to the agreed time, Lin Yifan's fleet should have arrived, but he has not seen the shadow of a battleship yet.

At this time, many generals were a little skeptical that Lin Yifan's fleet was not coming. It is no wonder that the enemy dispatched 300 million warships at a time, and ordinary forces simply could not fight against it.

And it is not clear whether the enemy has any reinforcements coming here. If there is, then the Hongyu Empire will basically be out of play.

The Zerg knew that the troops on the front line of the Hongyu Empire were rushing back, and they were going to seize this gap and prepare to wipe out the defense force of the Capital Star in one fell swoop.

Originally, the Capital Star only had a fleet of about one million frigates, and against this point of battleship, the swarm could be dealt with.

As for the defense of the capital star orbit and the spaceport, the Zerg can use the long-range firepower of special warships to deal with it.

But what the Zerg people didn't expect was that a ragtag army composed of tens of thousands of warships suddenly appeared.

Although the warships in the miscellaneous armies are of different shapes, the performance of these warships is very good, and some of the warships even surpass the performance of the regular army.

In addition, these warships have been improved many times, not only for their fast flight speed, but also for their strong defense and firepower.

General Bohn knew very well in his heart that what these convoys were good at was guerrilla warfare.

When escorting ships in peacetime, they face several times the enemy they face, and even under such conditions of unequal combat power, they can still win more with less.

If they are allowed to act in unison, they may limit their superiority and not reach the maximum combat power.

General Bohn only distinguished them according to the performance of the battleships, and as for the battle, it was still up to them to play.

However, General Born will give them a combat mission, and as for how to complete this mission, it depends on their ability.

The Zerg also didn't want to consume their own fighters as soon as they came up, and the first wave of attacks was still the use of swarms. Faced with a large number of biters, Vaughn opted for long-range sniping.

Tactically speaking, it's pretty much the same as the one used by the Tis clone. The only difference is that the Tis clone uses a battleship as a combat unit, while General Bohn uses a squad as a combat unit.

Those medium-speed ships are responsible for holding off the first wave of attacking swarms. I have to say that these people are indeed very shrewd, as soon as they enter the battlefield, they disperse according to the squad.

Viewed from a distance, the squads form a giant web in space. As long as they fire at the same time, they can form a crossfire network like in the tactics used by the Tis clone.

A few minutes later, all the squads were in place, and with Born's order, the main runners of all the ships were charged at the same time.

Because the performance of the ships of these escort fleets varies, the time it takes for the main guns to be charged is also different.

In order to be able to form a crossfire network, General Born could only fire at the slowest time when the main gun was fully charged.

"Fire!"

With Beaugh's order, all the battleships opened fire at the same time. Dense rain of light came from different directions, and the direction of the attack was exactly the direction in which the swarm was coming.

In the face of such a dense network of crossfire, the swarm had nowhere to hide, and could only hold up the shield as much as possible not to be directly hit.

And each beam carries a powerful energy, and even if it doesn't hit directly, in this space made of light rain, the intertwined shock waves can make the mechanical bug burst.

The hit mechanical insects were directly blasted to pieces, and those that dodged the beam were shocked by the shockwave and then crashed into the beam.

Just one salvo caused the Zerg people's swarm to suffer heavy losses. The hundreds of thousands of mechanical insects that rushed in front of them were reduced to nothing in an instant.

As soon as the battle began, the enemy army was severely damaged, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. The officers and soldiers, who were still a little worried, also came to their senses at this time.

The people on the capital star and the surrounding colonial stars all cheered in front of the big screen when they saw this scene. The veteran Bohn gave them hope, and the escort ships were very brave.

However, to the surprise of General Bohn, the enemy's main fleet did not rush to attack, but all flew around the flagship.

It stands to reason that the troops on the front line have not yet had time to return, and this is a good time for them to attack. And now they are just using the swarm to attack, and the main fleet seems to be waiting for something.

Thinking of this, General Bohn's face turned ugly. Could it be that the Zerg's reinforcements are almost there, otherwise why would their main fleet have stopped advancing?

However, the current situation of the battle did not allow General Bohn to think too much, and the first thing to be eliminated was the rushing swarm.

The swarms are very maneuverable, and they pose the greatest threat to escort warships. If they are allowed to get closer, the convoy will be wiped out.

While directing the operation, General Born ordered the reconnaissance team searching on the periphery to speed up the search and to find out as soon as possible the enemy's reconnaissance ship that was used to locate the coordinates.

In addition, the engineering ships near the spaceport are speeding up the deployment of space jammers to prevent the enemy from suddenly teleporting the swarm to the vicinity of the spaceport.
