Chapter 700: The counterattack begins
A few hours later, Xu Lin set off again with a huge fleet, and the nine legions rushed to the battlefield with a surging battle.
One thing that made Excellence quite regrettable was that this time he also did not go to battle with the army, and the condition of his soul made him unable to exert much combat effectiveness, so he could only wait for them to return triumphantly in the station.
However, although he did not directly participate in the war, he and Xu Lin spent a few hours together, formulated a detailed battle plan, and indirectly participated in the battle, which can be regarded as making up for a little regret of excellence.
"Our battle this time is a retaliatory attack, not a frontal battle, so we can't go head-to-head with the main force of the demon race, it's not worth it and it's not appropriate!"
"In this case, we can't act collectively, otherwise the target is too big, which is not conducive to flexible movement, and it is also easy to stimulate the fragile nerves of the demons.
Therefore, the nine legions must be separated, divided into parts, and the area of harassment must be expanded, not to achieve much success, but to make enough noise, and at the same time to show our determination. Xu Lin then analyzed.
"Separation must be separated, but whether to fight as a corps unit or as a fleet unit still needs to be discussed in detail!" Excellence asked.
"If you fight with the legion as a unit, then the basic combat effectiveness can be guaranteed, and it is easy to cause a huge sensation and attract the attention of the demons!" Xu Lin analyzed.
"Don't forget, in addition to harassment, training is also an important task, if the legion fights, there are not many targets that are worth fighting and are not too dangerous, and in addition, if the target is too large, it is easy to lead to a greater crisis!"
"But if the fleet is used as a combat unit, the combat effectiveness is too weak, and the strike surface can be expanded, but it is not easy to attract the attention of the demon high-level, and compared to the action of the legion, the fleet's self-protection ability is far worse!" Xu Lin then analyzed.
"That's right! Both legion and fleet operations have their own advantages, and of course, they also have their own disadvantages, so why don't we take both!"
"Both? Some of them act as a unit, and some of them disband into a fleet and act alone?" Xu Lin asked.
"That's right! The legion units choose key targets to attract the attention of the demons, while the fleet units are free to attack, with actual combat training as the main goal.
However, the fleet should not be too scattered, and it is better for the fleet of the same legion to operate in another area, so that they can be reunited at any time if necessary!"
"This is good, we can give full play to our flexibility, attract the attention of the demons and disrupt the judgment of the demons, and at the same time, we can also take into account the purpose of actual combat training!" Xu Lin nodded in agreement.
"Since this is the case, the combat method is so decided!" Excellence directly finalized the combat method, and then asked another question: "The next thing is the choice of the target!"
With a wave of his hand, a three-dimensional star map of the small galaxy appeared in the sky, and the huge sub-galaxy was split in half from the middle, and the closer it was to both sides, the denser the stars became.
This is the result of the perennial war between the two sides!
"This is the front line of the confrontation between our two sides!" said Excellence, pointing to the blank section in the middle.
Then the half of the galaxy occupied by the demons expanded instantly, and it was full of marks on the distribution of the fleet of the demon legion, and the closer it was to the federation, the more detailed and accurate the marking, and when it came to the rear of the demons, there were only some approximate guesses!
"This part of the star field is a star field that we can move to think!" Superior pointed with his hand, and the rest disappeared, leaving only a part of the star field with accurate information and detailed labels.
"This part is the star field that can be used as our target, but the scope is too large, the nine legions are scattered, and there will be no waves at all, and we must find the key target!"
There are only nine legions in his hands, and he hopes to take this opportunity to train them well, but he also doesn't want them to lose too much, so the choice must be a star field that knows the details, and it is impossible to blindly take risks.
However, even with this prerequisite, the area to choose from is still very large, and further screening is required.
"Remove the places on the edge, there are no important targets, and it is difficult to attract the attention of the high-level demons!"
"Then, the most core area is also excluded, the power of the demon clan is too big and too dangerous, and one or two legions will definitely fall into it in the past!"
"The rest of the star fields are fine, but we only have nine legions, so it is impossible to spread them too widely, so you can delineate a specific range of action!" Excellence handed over the final choice to Xu Lin.
After all, in the end, it was Xu Lin who led the legion to fight, and in the end, the choice of the target was excellent, and he felt that it was best to hand it over to Xu Lin, and he hoped that Xu Lin would be able to form a preliminary battle plan in the process of selection.
"Okay! I'll think about it carefully!" Xu Lin knew what this final choice meant to him, so he didn't hesitate to take on this arduous task.
"Don't worry, you take your time!" Zhuo Zhuo sat aside, not affecting Xu Lin's thinking, he knew that Xu Lin needed a lot of time.
The star map in front of Xu Lin seems simple, but it actually contains a lot of information and intelligence, including a detailed distribution of demon forces, as well as an introduction to strength, and so on!
In the end, after three hours of all-out thinking and analysis, Xu Lin finally determined the combat target and formulated a detailed combat plan.
In order to ensure safety, the target star field chosen by Xu Lin was far away from the core of the demon distribution.
However, the power of the demons in this area is not weak at all, after all, whether it is to attract the attention of the high-level of the demons, or to exercise the combat effectiveness of the legion fleet, it is impossible to choose some simple targets.
There are nearly ten key targets in this area that the demon clan attaches enough importance to, and it is very difficult for a legion to target them, but the distribution of these key targets is not concentrated, which is conducive to Xu Lin's strategy.
"My plan is that the Demon Slayer Legion will attack these two targets first!" Xu Lin pointed out two of the targets that were relatively close, the location was moderate, not close to the front line, nor close to the rear,
"This is the station of the two demon ace legions, and it is also the maintenance base of two warships, the importance is self-evident, a sneak attack is impossible, but a frontal attack is no problem!"
"At the same time, the other eight legions are scattered into a fleet, and they are free to choose suitable targets, anyway, there are many separate demon fleets or patrolling demon fleets in this area......"
Xu Lin's plan was not complicated, he began to attract the attention of the Demon Slaying Legion, the fleets of the other legions seized the time to develop, and then the Demon Slaying Legion dispersed the Shenyin, and then one or two other legions gathered to make trouble, attracting the attention of the demons and then dispersed again, and the other legions ......
"Yes, let's go!" Excellence smiled and gave the order to go!
