In any confrontation there will always be someone who compromises. After seeing a new destroyer flying out of a base with a long vertical tail in the distance, the Moon Fleet finally gave up the confrontation and lowered its altitude.
Phil comforted himself that the one with the advantage was always the one who compromised, because the weak side had no way out and could only fight with its back against the wall. Only the strong could advance and retreat freely.
The young man disagreed but did not dare to say anything.
The Lunar Fleet refused to descend any further after it reached mid-orbit. Here it could barely reach the Lightyear Fleet, so the battle began. Both sides are affected by the beam cannon, and Yuelun mainly suffers from the shield. Their shields were an order of magnitude higher than light-years. As a result, they were reduced to less than 20% by the storm clouds, and the losses were far more than light-years.
The fierce battle lasted for three hours and ended with both sides losing two destroyers each. The Lightyear fleet retreated on its own initiative. Phil was anxious to clean the battlefield and ask for help from the crew, so he did not pursue it.
Phil's only gain this time was the complete wreckage of a light-year starship. He immediately ordered people to tow the starship to high orbit, and then led the main fleet to attack the orbital base where the destroyer was released.
10 hours later…
Watching the orbital base burning and falling into the storm clouds, Phil's face turned ugly, feeling humiliated again. The orbital base is empty. There is nothing else except a starship. It is considered a semi-solid target station.
"No matter how many false targets there are, I will kill every one he builds! It depends on whether he builds more or we fight faster!" Phil gritted his teeth.
The young man smiled bitterly and said nothing. He and Phil knew very well that Chu Jungui would never waste these 10 hours. After two consecutive high-intensity battles, the Moon Fleet's energy supply was about to bottom out, and it would have to go back to resupply if it could sustain another battle at most.
After forcing back the Lightyear fleet, Phil has urgently ordered the marine troops to come and gather together to prepare for the landing battle. This is a rare window of time. As long as the landing force is sent to the planet, Phil will have completed half of his mission.
On the other side of the planet, a large, stubby transport ship broke through the storm clouds and entered mid-orbit. Its shell slowly opened, and a destroyer emerged from inside. The destroyer immediately accelerated and merged with the waiting Lightyear Fleet. The huge transport ship submerged into the storm clouds again and disappeared.
The Lightyear Fleet regrouped, circled out from the back of the planet again, and pounced on the Moon Fleet aggressively.
Phil's face froze, and the light-year fleet that appeared in front of him was still 12 ships! But this time, 7 ships have the appearance of Champion Knight.
Phil was very calm and said: "Let the Marines continue to land, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons will fight, and the 3rd Squadron will cover the landing troops."
After allocating one-third of the force, Phil still had more fleet combat power than light years. As long as the combat power was slightly superior, Phil didn't mind fighting Chu Jungui head-on. This is also the confidence of a top commander.
Chu Jungui was also looking at Yuelun's fleet, silently calculating the possible battle progress, and figuring out how to trick Phil to the ground. At this time, as the distance between the two sides approached, Chu Jungui's flagship suddenly scanned a fleet behind the Yuelun Fleet. There were actually a large number of landing ships in this fleet, and they were rushing towards the storm clouds!
Chu Jungui couldn't help but be a little shocked: "It's a lie..."
As the scan data became more and more detailed, Chu Jungui discovered that Phil had really brought a huge landing force and was really landing on Planet 4!
"Is this because there are too many soldiers?" The wise man was also shocked.
Compared to the wise man, Kaitian's knowledge of history and politics is obviously much richer, so he naturally refuses to miss the opportunity to attack and ridicule his opponents: "Don't you understand? Human beings are very complicated. There is an operation called killing with a borrowed knife. He sent it down They must all be enemies!”
The wise man said: "As long as you are a human being!"
Seeing the landing ships rushing into the storm clouds one after another, Chu Jungui immediately led the fleet to attack. This time he no longer hid in the low orbit, and directly fought with the moon wheel in the middle orbit!
In a fierce and short battle, the Lightyear fleet kept trying to bypass the Moon Fleet, but Phil tried his best to block it, at the expense of the formation and some losses, and was determined not to give Lightyear a chance to attack the landing fleet.
Uncharacteristically, Chu Jungui made a rare mistake in his command and tried to bypass Yuelun's interception at all costs. Phil was tit for tat, dismissing the bait that was put to his lips, sticking to the defense line, and clinging to the Lightyear Fleet.
Both sides launched dazzling maneuvers, intertwined with each other, and bite each other. The situation was chaotic for a while. Everyone had countless targets to attack, and they were under attack from nowhere all the time. The melee did not end until two-thirds of the landing fleet had penetrated the storm clouds. The starships on both sides were scarred, and each cost a destroyer. The Moon Wheel and a light cruiser were severely damaged and had to return to the Federation for repairs.
Seeing that the landing fleet successfully rushed into the storm clouds, Chu Jun returned angrily. Phil's face was pale at this time, sweat appeared on his forehead, and a few strands of hair were stuck to his forehead, looking very embarrassed. At the most critical moment of the melee, most of his command of the fleet was ineffective, and he had to personally command the flagship. It was with great difficulty that he managed to inflict equal battle losses. It's just that the fierce battle for nearly an hour has far exceeded his body's load capacity, and the physical exertion is huge. At this moment, he just wants to have a good sleep.
It wasn't until Lightyear truly retreated that Phil relaxed, handed over command of the fleet to the young man, and hurried back to the cabin to rest.
The young man was directing the cleaning of the battlefield while watching the replay of the previous battle. His brows furrowed as he watched. He called the intelligence officer and asked, "Have those legions given us feedback on the evaluation of the Lightyear Army that we want?"
The intelligence officer had a strange look on his face and said hesitantly: "I have already given feedback, but..."
The young man was a little angry and shouted: "But what?! Why don't you report such important information as soon as possible?! Bring it to me!"
The intelligence officer did not dare to neglect and quickly sent the information to the young man. As the young man watched, his expression changed. Several relevant legions did reply, but the content of the replies was difficult to evaluate.
The reply from Jolly Roger is: the data is lost and cannot be evaluated.
The Lancer's reply was: the main brain was on fire and the data was damaged. Based on the existing data, it is estimated that the ground combat power of the Lightyear Legion is above the third level.
…
No matter how good-tempered the young man was, he couldn't help but curse. Those below the third rank of the Federal Legion are in reserve. The Lancers said this but did not say it.
Finally, there was Gan Bo's reply. He was already an admiral, and his reply was consistent with his status as an admiral: Yue Lun had insufficient authority and refused to provide information.
This series of abnormal answers made the young man instinctively feel that something was wrong. He connected to a private communication channel and asked: "Sister, haven't you dealt with Light Year before? We are now landing on Planet 4, do you have any suggestions? ?”
The other side of the channel was silent for a while, and then a voice rang out: "It's not too late to retire now."
