"Order them not to pursue too hard, and be careful of war fortresses and raids by enemy formations." Ju Wudi asked the general to remind the forward squadron.
Sure enough, after a few hours, the war fortress outside Mine Star No. 91 opened fire, and the artillery fire was extremely fierce.
Moreover, the retreating Taiwei fleet was divided to the left and right, and carried out pincer attacks on both wings.
However, the Jumen Fleet had already anticipated this and responded calmly, launching a counterattack quickly.
Just these dozens of war fortresses play a very limited role and are not as powerful as the attack power of a battleship.
The Jumen Frontier Squadron rushed forward, turned on 100% defense, opened all artillery fire, and blasted the war fortress and Taiwei battleship.
The follow-up formation commanded by Ju Wudi also accelerated towards them at this time, getting closer and closer.
The Taiwei fleet changed from its normal state and refused to retreat even a step. The Zunzun super heavy cannon spit out tongues of fire and struck fiercely.
Zhou Yang's Yushen high-level flagship took the lead and directly locked onto an Yushen intermediate enemy fleet. Dozens of super heavy artillery bombarded it, and soon it was in a state of complete suppression.
"All heavy artillery, blast its left chord!" Qi Qian directly commanded the battle.
After dodging left and right, the Yushen mid-level enemy ship was finally spotted by Zhou Yang's flagship. Dozens of heavy artillery shells hit the left chord, breaking through its defense. There was a violent explosion, and not long after, it Start falling downwards.
The flagship continued its onslaught until the enemy ship was reduced to a giant fireball.
The flagship once again found the next target and bombarded it with super heavy artillery. The officers and soldiers inside the ship kept shuttling, commanding, loading, aiming, and launching in an orderly manner.
And one of the imperial high-level battleships in the enemy fleet has already locked onto Zhou Yang's flagship. Its mission is to work with other warships to blow up each other and eliminate the target Qi Bin.
"What's going on!" Just as Jumen's follow-up squadron pressed forward, thousands of cannons suddenly fired from behind them, blasting wildly from behind.
At this time, the fleet was in an offensive posture. The front ship and the left and right hulls were fully defended, but the rear was not. As a result, after only one round of gunfire, more than a dozen warships exploded, caught fire, and then crashed.
"Sir, it's a bunker, it's a bunker!" The fleet admiral's expression was extremely ugly. He didn't expect that the Taiwei Star Territory would be so sinister.
"Damn it, those fortresses have been arranged into phantom arrays! Quick, separate some battleships and blow them up!" Ju Invincible yelled angrily.
The subsequent squadron turned its direction and attacked the meteorites that spewed out brilliance.
The Taiwei fleet on the front was all pressed up. More than 300 warships plus those war fortresses stormed the Jumen forward squadron.
"Vice Commander Yi's flagship was hit by gunfire. It has withdrawn from the battle and is returning." At this moment, the captain of Zhou Yang's flagship reported urgently.
"The formation commander will take over, and his ship will be the flagship." Zhou Yang ordered.
Both sides were stunned. Hundreds of warships were flying through the starry sky. From time to time, huge explosions were heard, and then large balls of fire fell downwards.
The large-scale fleet battle of more than 600 ships has entered a fever pitch.
More than a hundred meteorite-shaped bunkers played a huge role. From the beginning of the sneak attack to the present, forty-eight enemy ships have been destroyed, but most of them were also blown up under the fierce bombardment of hundreds of enemy ships.
So far, both parties involved in the war have suffered heavy losses. Ninety warships of the Taiwei 24th Fleet have been destroyed, and thirty or forty ships have been damaged.
A total of 120 battleships of Jumen's main third fleet were destroyed and more than fifty were damaged. The losses of the entire first echelon had already exceeded half.
To achieve such results, the magic formation bunker played the greatest role.
Without these battle fortresses, the losses of the auxiliary Twenty-Fourth Fleet would have been even greater.
After the last bunker was blown up, the Jumen follow-up squadron finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to turn around and attack the Taiwei fleet directly ahead.
The rejoining of dozens of battleships has greatly increased the pressure on the Taiwei fleet.
"That's Qi Bin's flagship, why haven't you locked it yet!" Men Wudi stared at Zhou Yang's warship and roared. His flagship also began to turn its guns, preparing to blast hard.
The previous Yushen high-level battleship was entangled by several Taiwei battleships. At this time, it had just escaped and rushed towards Zhou Yang's flagship.
However, at this moment, as the Jumen follow-up squadron had just adjusted its direction, hundreds of rays of light suddenly lit up from behind, followed by a violent explosion.
The defense of the ship's stern is inherently weak. In such a long battle, the overall defense has been greatly reduced, let alone the ship's stern.
Amidst the continuous explosions, twelve battleships fell down in an instant, and seven or eight battleships caught fire, and then began to explode, including the flagship of the subsequent squadron.
The entire follow-up squadron was stunned and the formation was in chaos.
"What is that?" Ju Wudi suddenly turned around, his eyes blood red.
More than thirty huge meteorites were rushing toward his follow-up fleet at full speed. The brilliance emitted from the meteorites was as strong as the other.
In the Taiwei fleet directly ahead, dozens of giant ships suddenly joined the battle group and stormed the giant gate's forward squadron.
The two newly added forces became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The entire first attack echelon of the giant gate fleet had completely collapsed.
Ju Invincible never expected that a mere auxiliary fleet in the Taiwei Star Region would defeat his main force. Even if it was only a part of the main force, this would be too damn frustrating.
But the reality is cruel, and you have to leave no matter how unwilling you are.
"It's a trick played by that damn bitch Qi Qian!" Ju Wudi gritted his teeth and his face turned deep purple in anger.
"Sir, give the order quickly!" The fleet admiral's face turned even pale.
"Retreat!" The fleet flagship issued a humiliating retreat order to all remaining warships.
How could Zhou Yang and Qi Qian let them escape after they were all beaten to this point? They ordered each formation to concentrate their superior forces to annihilate the remaining enemies at all costs.
And his flagship is also eyeing the invincible flagship.
However, the speed of Yushen's advanced battleship was too fast and its defense was extremely strong. Even though he tried desperately to escape, he was still allowed to escape.
After several hours of fierce fighting, most of Jumen's first attack echelon was wiped out. Of the 350 warships, only 50 or 60 managed to escape, including the Yushen high-level warship that had locked onto Zhou Yang.
"Order all ships to quickly resupply and repair. The war is still to come." Zhou Yang passed down the military order.
The second echelon of the enemy fleet will soon arrive, and it is not time to celebrate victory yet.
Afterwards, Zhou Yang contacted Long Jin again, briefly reported the battle situation, and asked the auxiliary 18th Fleet to arrive as soon as possible, preferably within two to three days, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
Long Jin was very happy about this great victory and said that he would immediately report it to the Temple of Heaven and urge the 18th Fleet to arrive as soon as possible.
"Okay, I didn't expect you to be the master of the formation. I kept it a secret from my sister!" Qi Qian looked Zhou Yang up and down.
"Sister Qian, aren't these all forced?" Zhou Yang smiled bitterly.
