Chapter 114: Strangling
The battle is gradually closing in on the system of Pholena, the capital of the Tinasin Empire.
The Great Qin battleship has not yet approached the capital system, but has just pierced the outer defense fleet of Tinasin, and is still advancing inward.
Different from the formation of Daqin, which was separated by less than 100 kilometers or less, according to the requirements of interstellar warfare, the interval between each warship in a fleet is usually hundreds or thousands of kilometers, which is convenient for maneuvering and avoids being hit by the main guns with powerful attack capabilities to hit more warships.
In addition to the above reasons, it is also associated with the coordinated operation of warships.
There was also a large gap between the Tinasin fleets, as they were divided into different territories and commanded by different commanders. The commanders of these fleets are either the lords of each territory or there is a lord of the territory standing behind them, so naturally they will not completely achieve unified dispatch and unified command.
The formation of the Great Qin Fleet, which had broken through the first layer of defense, also changed, and it was divided into countless small fleets and scattered to both sides, and the Tinasin First Layer Defense Fleet, which had never had time to react, strangled away.
This is to greatly consume the opponent's warship.
The scattered range of the Great Qin warship was not large, and it still maintained the shape of an arrow on the whole, like an arrow full of spikes. There was constant friction in the range of advance, and each change was accompanied by the explosion of the warships of both sides.
In just three days, most of the defensive ships on the first layer of Tinasin were destroyed, and the routed fleet fled inward. Having lost its depth, the Tinasin fleet had to shrink further inward.
In the past three days, Qin Feng has basically not rested except for eating some food sent by Vilnatri, just standing quietly in front of the star map and the situation map projected on the battlefield, and occasionally switching to the image of the scene to check.
He didn't say a word, his brow furrowed.
In the first round of the three directions, the Great Qin fleet advanced only a few light years, and the first layer of defense fleet was destroyed by a full ten thousand ships, and countless debris and battleship wreckage were scattered a hundred light years away from the Vlena system, forming a wreckage belt about tens of millions of kilometers wide.
The Great Qin fleet once again formed three strands of arrows, and did not pause to attack towards the Fulena system. This made the Tinasin fleet, which fled to the inner circle, a little panicked, and was terrified of the attack efficiency and attack ability of the Great Qin fleet.
The most important thing is that the Great Qin warships did not need to replenish their energy between battles, which made the Tinasin Imperial fleet dare not stop at all.
The first wave of attacks caused heavy losses to the Tinasin fleet, and each of the warships that were opportunized had thousands of men, and the loss of at least tens of millions of men made the fleeing commanders feel distressed, knowing that those were their own fleets.
The second wave of attacks began, and the Great Qin fleet was going deeper into the area closer to the interior, and every time it penetrated into the opponent's defenses, the three fleets invariably changed the tactics of attacking and killing only in a small area for the first time, and detoured to a larger area, using the advantage of warships to divide and encircle the Tinasin defense fleet.
This time the attack was more thorough, and he didn't want more warships to flee inward at all, this was to carry out Qin Feng's order to take Tina
The Xin fleet hurt, allowing Tinasin to expose the last hole card --- the Divine Army.
The colonizers on the Great Qin side on the battlefield were already preparing for the attack, and even the Ying Rui in the hyperspace was already waiting to attack.
The Tinasin fleet has a total of seven layers of defense within a radius of a hundred light years, and the closer you get to the interior, the more elite the empire becomes. Obviously, those commanders of the Tinasin Empire are not idiots, and in the face of the fierce offensive of the Great Qin Empire, they also want to continuously consume and delay the Great Qin fleet through the peripheral fleet.
Then a decisive battle with the remaining Great Qin fleet in front of the defensive circle close to the capital.
Seven days passed, and the high-intensity combat made the nerves of both commanders tense, and even the Protoss, Meath, couldn't help but feel a little tired.
As a result, the fleet of the Great Qin side slowly changed from an attacking arrow formation to a ring defense state. Seeing this, the commander of the Tinasin fleet breathed a long sigh of relief.
These waves of attacks made all the commanders of the Tinasin fleet dare not breathe. Worse still, nervousness and exhaustion caused some commanders to faint.
The previous high-intensity combat had left the Tinasin fleet severely undersupplied. The suspension of the Great Qin fleet, the commanders of the Tinasin fleet only then remembered this serious problem and urgently resupplied from the rear.
Unlike the unmanned warships of the Great Qin Empire, which use hedron energy and only require a small amount of personnel and materials, although the warships of the Tinasin Empire have the assistance of systems and brains, the Protoss rarely provides high-quality warship brains for the subordinate races in addition to their own warships, which also leads to the warships of the subordinate races requiring a large number of crew members to control.
Because of the previous chaos, many supply ships were either destroyed or moved in the direction of the capital system, resulting in the current supply speed is not fast, which makes the commanders very annoyed.
It was not long before the Tinasin side realized the problem, which was caused by the lack of unified scheduling on the battlefield. Empress Pochia, who was concerned about the situation on the battlefield in the capital system, realized this problem and immediately sent Zella, the famous general of the Emperor's ** Department.
Zella, the younger sister of Empress Pocia, was spared because she was too young to participate in the struggle for the throne, and when Pozia was stabilized by the throne, she also lost the confidence to compete.
Zeela did not have a territory of her own, which was very rare in the Tinasin Empire, and as long as the daughter of the reigning empress was an adult, she would be given a territory for her own development. On the one hand, it was to strengthen the rule of the Tinasin Empire, and on the other hand, to cultivate its ability in the actual governance of the territory, so that it could have the strength to compete for the throne.
The struggle for the throne of the Tinasin Empire, as a matriarchal society, was both reasonable and cruel.
Zeela was a special case, and it was because of her indisputability that she gained the trust of the empress Pokia. As a subordinate race of the Protoss, Zeela has led the fleet of the Tinasin Empire to assist the Protoss in various battles several times, and has rich command capabilities.
I don't know what Empress Pokia's purpose is, but this time she was appointed commander of the defensive fleet, and the fleet that was now almost divided into two battles was under unified management.
Zella was in danger
As soon as she appeared, she would kill some nobles who tried to break into the capital system for refuge, and supply the materials in their hands to the fleets fighting in front.
This also greatly alleviated the current situation of the Tinasin Empire. With a series of orders from her, the Tinasin Empire's defensive fleet finally stabilized within thirty light-years of the Capital System's defensive circle.
However, at this time, there were less than 30,000 defensive fleets left in Zella's hands, and there was no way to form a tighter defense, so she had no choice but to retreat further and shrink, forming a new defensive circle at twenty light years.
In addition, she has transported some defensive fortresses from the capital system and deployed them in the weak areas of the fleet's defenses. Fixed defensive turrets on planets in the star system along the way are also activated. Zeela was a little puzzled by what Empress Pokia thought if she hadn't defended in all directions before.
Just when Zella urgently adjusted the defensive fleet and defensive measures, the Great Qin fleet had already begun a new round of offensive.
This time, the VII Sector Fleet did not participate in the battle, if the VII Sector Combined Fleet was allowed to participate in the battle under such a tight defensive situation, the loss of warships would not matter, but the loss of personnel in it Qin Feng thought that it would be very large, and it was not necessary at all.
In the previous attacks, the Great Qin Empire's fleet was also a little badly damaged, and the most important loss was the crystal battleships, and tens of thousands of crystal battleships were blown up in each direction.
This is mainly caused by the hull material of the crystal battleship, although this kind of battleship has good combat power, but in large-scale battleship conflicts, the opponent's artillery fire is often very dense, and the crystal battleship is easy to be hit and exploded as an assault battleship.
According to the deployment of Feng Jue in the Black Prison Star, most of the crystal battleships were taken away by Yan Shiyi to lurk in the direction of the Protoss Hub Star, in case the Protoss controller Dirog unexpectedly appeared. At this time, there were less than 20,000 crystal warships in the fleets of Fengjue and Mees.
This made Feng Jue and Mees just familiar with the use of crystal ships in battle, and they had to adjust their tactics because of the lack of such warships.
Great Qin's unique multi-ship combination method was adopted, and the Blade Battleship and the Thorn Battleship became the main force of the attack.
The impact between large fleets, the role of individuals and individual warships was weakened to the extreme, and in order to guard against the Shenshi forces that were likely to appear suddenly on the other side, Daqin also concentrated all the colonists in the direction of attack. The manned warships also all retreated behind the attacking fleet.
Qin Feng's point of view is that when he can use unmanned warships, he will never use manned warships, compared to the situation where the Tinasin Empire's fleet has tens of millions of people participating in the battle, Great Qin does not have many soldiers in total, and compared with those old large empires, Great Qin's strength is not even a fraction of it.
"Commander Meath, I request that my fleet be included in the attack."
The newly formed Thivelta Legion had performed well in the previous battle, and now Cawilla asked Mies to fight, but was directly rejected by Mies.
"You need to rest now, and when you break through the Vlena system, you will start a starfall operation, and the capital of the Tinasin Empire is waiting for you
Let's go occupy it. ”
Meese also had a rare sense of humor, but what he said was really good, unmanned warships cannot occupy planets, which is also the most direct reason why the Protoss cannot occupy more systems to establish the Protoss empire and territory.
Even Qin Tie, who had been fighting with Feng Jue, couldn't sit still. He prefers to lead the fleet in charge, which makes him a little uncomfortable to command from behind, and he constantly begs for wind to fight.
"This is His Majesty's arrangement." Feng Jue glanced at Qin Tie, and immediately made Qin Tie have nothing to say to be honest.
"You have to carefully experience this kind of fleet combat, which is also Your Majesty's intention."
Feng Jue was in charge of the Great Qin Emperor's ** Mansion, and naturally had a power that others could not match, after he explained Qin Feng's intentions, Qin Tie had to sit down, his eyes were firmly fixed on the battlefield situation, but seeing that he was a little restless, Feng Jue was also helpless.
"As a corps commander, you should understand that charging into battle is the business of the generals, and the corps commander needs to dispatch and command and deal with all the situations faced on the battlefield."
The Great Qin fleet suddenly jumped out from two directions, and since it was still an arrow-type offensive, Zella, who had long studied in the capital galaxy and was familiar with the combat methods of the Great Qin fleet, ordered other fleets outside these two directions to assemble in the Great Qin Fleet's attack point star field.
