Chapter 167: The Honest Man's Trap

Returning to the spaceship where they had fought and lived for decades, the Southern Star warriors had mixed feelings. At the same time, there was some fear in my heart, not knowing what the enemy wanted to do by bringing him here again.

In the face of these diehards, Chen Yue was not polite at all. Some anesthetic gas was released into it, and the Southern Star warriors immediately fell unconscious. After that, Chen Yue manipulated the robots and placed them one by one in the original combat positions, such as the observation position, the electromagnetic energy cannon observation position, the shooting position, the emergency repair room and other places.

After everything was done, this small fleet of 84 warships—one of which was intercepted by Chen Yue for later reverse research—quietly set off into the vastness of space.

On the way, this small fleet was dispersed into 12 smaller fleets, each with only seven ships.

The 12 mini-fleets went in different directions.

The target of each fleet is a heavy transport ship of the Blue Moon civilization. In his previous covert observations, Chen Yue had confirmed the navigation orbits of these 12 transport ships.

After a period of time, they will be loaded with all kinds of supplies and set sail from Resource Planet Six to certain logistics bases. There they would unload their cargo for the rest and treatment of the personnel at that base, the maintenance of the warship, and the replenishment of war supplies.

In the most covert way, with the lowest power, after sneaking up on the edge of the shipping ship's route, the 12 miniature fleets began to wait silently.

It didn't take long for 12 heavy transport ships to set sail as scheduled, accompanied by three escort warships.

Originally, their route was also top secret, and it was almost impossible for outsiders to find out under normal circumstances. However, in front of Chen Yue's detection network composed of hundreds of billions of spy detection satellites, it was still clearly investigated.

Under precise calculations and advance arrangement, almost at the same time, the 12 heavy transport ships entered the attack range of the 12 mini-fleets at the same time. At this moment, Chen Yue did not hesitate at all, and immediately remotely manipulated these 84 warships to attack.

A large number of electromagnetic cannon projectiles poured over, laser cannons, electromagnetic interference bombs, miniature interstellar missiles, etc., all kinds of weapons, full firepower. This dead interstellar space immediately became lively.

However, in the face of the sudden attack, these 12 heavy transport ships did not panic in the slightest. Chen Yue saw that long before his own attack arrived, those heavy transport ships had already held up their energy shields, and the three escort warships immediately launched a counterattack, as if they had already taken precautions.

Pitfall! It's a trap!

This thought immediately flashed through Chen Yue's heart.

Just as Chen Yue had predicted, as soon as the battle began, the detection network immediately detected more than twenty bright flashes of light in the surrounding interstellar space, which was originally empty.

That's the flash of light that a starship can only emit when it maneuvers with all its might!

At this moment, even a fool can know that those three escort warships are just escort forces on the surface. There are also at least 20 warships hidden in the shadows, and once they encounter an ambush, these warships will immediately maneuver with all their strength to escort them!

If you can lay an ambush, we can lay a trap and then have a counter-ambush!

In just one or two hours, 12 of your own warships could not break through the energy shield of the heavy transport ship at all. And an hour or two later, the projectile of electromagnetic energy cannon from the anti-ambush battleship has arrived!

Chen Yue decisively manipulated these warships, gave up the ambush, and immediately maneuvered with all his strength, trying to escape.

But the Blue Moon Civilization's escort fleet was obviously unwilling to let it go. They also maneuvered with all their might, chasing and fighting at the same time, Chen Yue who hit was panicked, and Chen Yue who hit had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

Just kidding, after being prepared for so long and on guard for so long, this trap has finally attracted enemies, how can it be easy to let you go?

In the end, under "helplessness", these 84 warships were destroyed one by one and exploded into a brilliant fireworks in the dark space. Those Southern Star soldiers who were placed in combat positions by Chen Yue, but were all in a state of anesthesia and coma, also lost their lives along with the destruction of the battleship.

For this, Chen Yue can be 100% sure. Just kidding, if these people didn't die, how could Chen Yue let them fall into the hands of the Blue Moon Civilization?

At this moment, Chen Yue's arrangement came to an end. Things developed step by step, and there was nothing unexpected by Chen Yue.

Next, it's time to wait for things to unfold.

Chen Yue's action this time seems simple, but there are profound strategic considerations behind it.

To put it simply, Chen Yue has given up the purpose of directly instigating a war between the two sides through a sneak attack at this moment.

This is unrealistic in the face of leaders on both sides with extremely high intelligence and strategic vision.

The only thing Chen Yue could do was to change his methods and achieve his goal through another, more tortuous plan.

This kind of scheme has been studied in the original human world. Chen Yue called it the honest man's trap.

At this moment, regarding the incident of the Southern Star Fleet's sneak attack on its own side again, its impact is slowly fermenting in the Blue Moon Civilization.

When he received the news that his transport fleet had been attacked again, the commander-in-chief of the Blue Moon Civilization Expeditionary Corps, Red Mountain, was full of anger in his heart.

This Southern Star civilization is simply endless! The last sneak attack caused such heavy losses to our side, and our side forcibly suppressed it in order to negotiate the overall situation, and now, the other party is still sneaking attack!

"Thankfully, we were prepared. In this battle, our side completely annihilated a total of 12 small fleets and 84 warships. One of our transport ships and warships suffered serious damage and needed major repairs, while the rest of the warships were damaged to varying degrees, but none of them were serious. One of the combatants died and 96 were injured in the rush to repair, which was not life-threatening. ”

The total destruction of 84 enemy ships at the cost of serious damage to one battleship is undoubtedly a major victory.

Hongshan's mood slowly improved.

"Immediately salvage the wreckage of the enemy warship and carry out a detailed analysis."

For a long time, Hongshan has always had a question in his heart. He had never said this question, but it had always lingered in his heart and could not be eliminated.

With the intuition of a front-line military commander, he has always wondered if there is another unknown military force in Wang Liang's three-star system, and whether the sneak attack on his logistics support base some time ago was done by that unknown force, not by the Southern Star Civilization?

If that's the case, it seems like everything makes a lot more sense. Because no matter how Red Mountain thought about it, he couldn't find a reason for the Southern Star Civilization to do so at this stage.
