What the giant fleet wants to bet on is how soon the opponent will discover their whereabouts. From gathering information from all aspects to confirming it, it also requires a process.
For Zhou Yang, there were people who deliberately concealed information from him, making the discovery even longer.
Fortunately, with the full efforts of the entire Ming Clan to investigate, and the intervention of the Fourth Young Master Long Jin, the 24th Fleet finally arrived ahead of schedule, but the lead time was not long. The key was that the enemy fleet was too strong. .
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
"The enemy fleet is approaching fiercely, how should we arrange it?" In the secret room of the flagship, Zhou Yang asked Qi Qian.
"We'll wait a few more days. We must figure out the enemy fleet's attack echelon. If we attack in batches, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"You mean..."
Two days later, the temporary combat fleet left the mine star for about three days' voyage, and then quickly deployed its defenses. More than 300 warships were arrayed in a "pin" formation, and more than 100 warships were spread out on both wings, ready to attack.
There are also more than 70 warships left on the mining star, mainly to prevent sneak attacks by the enemy's small fleet.
One day later, a large black cloud-like fleet appeared in the starry sky four days away from the mining star. It was roughly estimated that there were more than three hundred closed star warships.
This is similar to the message sent back by the scout ship. The enemy fleet is divided into three echelons. The first echelon has 350 ships, the second echelon has 350 ships, and the third echelon has the least, only 200 ships.
In order to maintain maximum confidentiality, these three batches of fleets minimized their targets and used ten warships as a formation, and the distance between them was not small.
Precisely because they sail in formation, there is about a two-day voyage between the three batches of fleets in the Giant Gate Star Region.
The cost for Taiwei to obtain this information was the destruction of six scout ships.
Not only that, with so many scout ships appearing, the possibility of the Giant Gate Fleet being exposed greatly increased, and they began to speed up their voyage.
Among the attack fleets of the first echelon of Jumen, there are more than a hundred God-class ships alone, and the rest are all God-class reinforced ships.
"The latest information is that that damn Qi Bin is just a puppet. The actual commander of the enemy's twenty-fourth fleet is Senior Deacon Qi Qian. This woman played an important role in the last war. If she hadn't taken action in time, Shan Song would have There should be only a few ships left with the fleet that picked up Ling."
In a high-level flagship of the Royal God, the general of the third fleet of the Giant Sect Holy Sect reported to the commander-in-chief Wudi.
There are two super clans in the Giant Gate Star Territory, namely the Giant Clans and the Gate Clans. Ju Invincible is a member of the Ju Clan.
"Well, I fought against this girl several times, but I didn't get much advantage. Especially last time, we were about to win, but her fleet was too fast and we had to retreat. By the way, any other information? ?" Men Wudi frowned.
"Although some of the war fortresses outside Mineral Star No. 91 have been rebuilt, they are much smaller than before." The fleet admiral said.
"That's inevitable. In the last war, all those fortresses were destroyed. It's not that easy to rebuild them." Men Wuwei disagreed with this.
"In addition, we need to capture the mining star as soon as possible, otherwise the enemy's 18th auxiliary fleet will arrive and there will be some trouble." The general said again.
"Together the two auxiliary fleets, the number of ships that can participate in the battle is estimated to be no more than ours, but the number of other ships is far greater than ours. Pass the order, all speed up the voyage, and order the second echelon to rush as soon as possible Come on." Men Wudi pondered for a moment and then ordered.
"Yes." The general took the order and left.
"Report to the commander, the scout ship has sent news that the enemy fleet, which looks like about 300 ships, has been deployed in front, preparing to intercept our army." A moment later, the flagship captain came to report.
"How many God-class battleships are there?" Men Wudi asked.
"It is estimated that there are seventy or eighty ships."
"How much combat power can the battleships of the auxiliary fleet have? Order the forward squadron to pounce on them with all their strength and defeat them. In addition, keep an eye on their flagship and concentrate your firepower to blast it!" Men Wudi ordered.
That damn Qi Bin actually killed tens of thousands of Jumen prisoners of war. This time he will be killed no matter what.
"Yes." The flagship captain took the order and left.
In the starry sky in the distance, Zhou Yang released his spiritual consciousness with all his strength, and his eyes focused at the next moment.
"Are you here?" Qi Qian raised her eyebrows.
"We're here, we've entered the range of hundreds of millions of miles, and the enemy ships have also discovered us."
Zhou Yang nodded.
"Well, it's good if you find it. Give the order." Qi Qian said.
"Send the order, the rear team will become the front team, and all warships will be withdrawn!" Zhou Yang immediately issued a military order.
In the flagship of the third fleet of the Giant Saint Sect, Men Wudi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled contemptuously.
"My lord, retreat before fighting to prevent fraud." The general added.
"Well, order the forward squadron to pay attention to the search and release all the scout ships." Men Wudi has commanded the army for many years, but he is not an arrogant person and is very cautious in doing things.
Half a day later, Zhou Yang ordered the battleship to slow down and wait for the enemy fleet.
The enemy's forward squadron was very fast and had already broken away from the entire first echelon to catch up.
"All Royal God-class battleships enter the designated positions."
"Target enemy fleet, fire!"
Zhou Yang issued military orders one after another, and all the Yushen-class battleships rushed towards the enemy ships in a crescent-shaped battle formation. When the two sides were millions of miles apart, they ordered the heavy artillery to open fire.
"Boom boom boom!"
Dozens of Yushen-class warships opened fire violently, blasting rays of light towards the enemy's forward formation.
"Seeking death!" The enemy fleet changed its formation and began to attack in horizontal formation.
Amidst the deafening noise, streaks of light exploded in each other's fleets, each battleship trembled, and the starry sky tens of thousands of miles around turned into day.
There were more than 300 warships on both sides, all firing super heavy artillery, and all trying their best to defend.
"All god-level reinforced ships, give me a blast!" Zhou Yang once again ordered the follow-up fleet to quickly press forward. The number of warships greatly exceeded the enemy's forward formation.
The first result of the battle appeared. The two Yushen-class warships of the Jumen Fleet were fiercely attacked by six or seven warships of the Taiwei Fleet, completely breaking through the defenses. Hundreds of rays of light exploded violently on the ship, and then broke into several pieces.
"They actually installed super heavy artillery. It's really abominable! All the first echelons are pressed in, destroy those bugs!" Several more battleships were blown up. Men Wudi didn't expect the opponent's artillery fire to be so fierce, and he shouted angrily.
The subsequent battleships accelerated forward to encircle Zhou Yang's fleet.
"Alternately withdraw from the battle!" Under Qi Qian's instructions, Zhou Yang ordered each battleship formation.
"Sir, they are luring our troops into the fortress attack area!" the Admiral of the Giant Gate Fleet said urgently.
"What's the use of such a small war fortress!" Men Wudi waved his hand and ordered the fleet to continue charging.
The forward squadron suffered a loss and frantically pursued it, once again keeping distance from the follow-up fleet.
