Chapter 1464 Turning Into a Bolt of Lightning 1
"The star cluster has fallen?" The news from Liu Hong quickly spread to all the fleets of the "Juan Tong 2 star cluster", causing an uproar for a while.
Especially the reinforcements from all over the world were a little dazed: We were defeated before we went to the battlefield? Moreover, the loss of our fleet is actually not that big, and the number is only 50 million at present. How did it fall?
To say that the reinforcements from various countries come to support, of course, they cannot be the most elite in the country, but they are also top-notch in the second echelon; since they can go abroad to support, they must not be too bad, otherwise it would not be shameful enough. What's more, there are Jinxian in the fleet.
Da Luo Jinxian generally will not dispatch casually, which will affect the actual combat capability of his country. But Jinxian can still use it.
But in the 'Juan Tong 2 Star Cluster', reinforcements from the four empires of Beihe Empire, Tianqi Empire, Tianchi Empire, and Longyuan Empire gathered. The total number is about 620 million warships.
Perhaps 620 million is not much compared to the warships on the battlefield that cost billions; even the Veyron fleet has 2 billion warships. But these 620 million warships are the 'sub-elite' fleets of the major empires.
Considering the technology and practice of each empire, even a small empire with tens of billions of warships would not be able to stop the unilateral massacre of these 620 million warships.
Moreover, the elite fleet of the Minghui Empire is only 1 billion—it is claimed to be 1 billion, but only the top management of the Minghui Empire knows the real situation.
But in any case, the 620 million warships supported by various countries, and about 5 billion elite fighters, especially many of them who are still in the virtual realm and a few in the golden fairy realm, are a powerful combat force.
Everyone was full of confidence before they came. A few days ago, they were still discussing sending 270 million warships to attack the Minghui Empire fleet from the side. However, a few days later, everyone got this message:
Sorry, the star cluster you are stationed in is completely lost!
Or to be more specific, it should have been smashed!
Crazy rail guns are not only powerful in attacking battleships, but also good at hitting planets and demolishing houses.
Warships are small, nimble, and fast, so they are hard to lock on; it takes tens of thousands of attacks to hit a warship; even if it hits, it may not necessarily have an effect. The defense of the warships of the Great Empire is not bad, especially there are masters.
With adequate preparations, and with magic weapons, etc., practitioners in the Void Realm can resist the attack of the two railguns head-on.
But the planet is different! The structure of the planet itself is not as strong as the top battleship. The planet is large and bulky, and can be easily locked. And because the planet is too big to defend, the defense of most planets is weak.
As for war, the purpose is to destroy the enemy's vital forces. What is vitality? Not just the narrow army, but also the industrial base, logistical supplies, etc.
It is not easy to fight warships and fleets, but it is not easy to fight planets! Moreover, hitting planets is more likely to cause chaos and disrupt the enemy's rear!
It is in this way of thinking that under the command of Li Shu, the decoy fleet will not let go of planets as long as they encounter planets in addition to attacking warships.
The diameter of the Retroflex star cluster is 12 light-years, with a total of about 420 galaxies; inhabited, including mineral galaxies, 102; galaxies with complete life planets are 37.
According to pre-war intelligence, there should be 516 mineral planets and 58 life planets here. The entire galaxy has a total of about 7600 rocky planets and large satellites with a diameter of more than 2000 kilometers.
So here comes the question, even if the fleet crushes every rocky planet and large satellite one by one, how much work can be wasted!
In fact, the decoy fleet does three things: eating, sleeping, and beating Doudou... No, it is running around and attacking battleships frantically; firing railguns everywhere when idle, regardless of the direction of the railguns; and encountering galaxies Finally, go in and smash all the rocky planets.
Regardless of the size of the rocky planet, whether it is a living planet, or whether it has industrial value, as long as the rocky planet is crushed, it is definitely a mistake.
When Li Shu gave such an order, he couldn't bear it. But this is war. Since the Tianshui Empire's reinforcements are stationed here, the industrial system and social system of the entire star cluster will inevitably provide absolute support for the reinforcements. In other words, there are no innocents in a true national war, and everyone needs to work for the prosperity of the country.
Unless there is a surrender here, or the reinforcements are withdrawn from here. Otherwise, this is a war zone. When the Tianshui Empire and the Minghui Empire declared war on each other, and when the Tianshui Empire seized the merchants and money from the Blue Star Group, they had to pay for what they had done.
Now the first price is: all the rocky planets in the second star cluster affiliated to the Tongue Star Officer are being smashed one by one. Then this star cluster will naturally fall. It's pointless to keep going.
It's just this kind of fighting method that made the Tianshui Empire stunned: Is this a war in the new era?
Wait, after such a war is fought, what can the victor get? This is not war at all, but destruction!
Where the decoy fleet passed, only the stars and large gaseous planets remained intact. The rest of the planets were all turned into wreckage.
While retreating, Liu Hong, the right minister of the Tianshui Empire, frantically sent information to the rear: Your Majesty, the situation is wrong. We have encountered lunatics here. These bastards will not spare even a single planet, and smashed them all. I suspect they are flipping the chessboard... This is not the correct posture for chess.
During the frantic escape, Jinxian among the reinforcements calmed down first, and proposed: Why should we escape, we have Jinxian! Eleven Golden Immortals can be gathered from a few legions, and there are nearly a million people who have returned to the Void Realm. Everyone can completely abandon the battleship and have a master duel in the Void!
This is the world of practice, besides battleships, we also have masters. In fact, in past wars, expert duels accounted for 70% of the wars. Why do we have to learn how the other party fights with spaceships?
Liu Hong explained: Isn't this afraid that the opponent also has masters? But thinking about the war along the way, the other party really didn't have a master! So, maybe try it?
You Jinxian immediately said: We use the star array to trap the opponent and capture the coach alive! Look how divine this is!
Speaking of which, until now, although everyone has obtained many battleships of the bait fleet, complete and incomplete, they have not found a single prisoner. In fact, a battleship is a prisoner, but before the battleship is damaged, the real The warrior' has just crawled along the wireless network.
In short, the emergence of intelligent life has caused the war situation to change in an unknown direction.
…………
But the main fleet in the rear, Li Shu and Weilong swept this small star cluster with the remaining less than 2 billion warships. But after racing for a while, Cyclonus suddenly realized—where is the person?
Although the planet has been blown up, but here are reinforcements from all the big empires, how can it be so fragile? Is there a trap?
In Li Shu's vision, there should be a fierce confrontation, no one can be found no matter what. Hey, this is a war, let's be serious, it's time for a decisive battle, let's go to 300 rounds first.
However, the actual situation is that the entire starry sky is silent, only railguns flying around, broken spaceship wreckage, etc. Oh, and planet debris. But the remains of planets are orbiting stars.
Fortunately, Li Shu was quick-witted after all, and combined with the news from the bait fleet in front, he probably guessed the real situation: the move of lifting the chessboard, that is, the move of smashing all the planets, seemed to have achieved an unimaginable success.
The shattering of the planet resulted in the loss of industrial bases and logistical supplies, and forced the reinforcements of the Tianshui Empire to retreat.
Seems like a good way to go to war? !
Li Shu's eyes gradually brightened, but he was a little wary in his heart. Life planets in the interstellar world are limited after all, and there are still a large number of people on them. It may be okay once or twice, but if there are too many, it will easily cause the Dayang Group and the Blue Star Group to fall into injustice.
Besides, after victory, they will always be occupied. All the planets have been smashed, so what the hell is it occupied.
After thinking and thinking, Li Shu still made a rational decision: the planet can no longer be fought indiscriminately, but it can be stored as an emergency tactic, and after a detailed introduction of the situation here, it will be sent to the rear.
Afterwards, Li Shu commanded the fleet again, launching a pursuit and sprinting to try the pursuit.
However, as a commander in chief, Li Shu is very cautious in doing things. She did not command the fleet to follow and pursue directly, but took advantage of the fleet's fast acceleration, and according to the data provided by the decoy fleet, she circled an arc and prepared to attack the target's flank.
"Accelerate 120 light-years. If you can chase the enemy, fire a salvo of railguns from a distance, and you can't get close. The opponent has a master. After such a battle, the opponent has already reacted, and the possibility of another sneak attack is unlikely. .
But if there is no opportunity to attack after 120 light years, immediately shift the target, move laterally, and copy the back route of the Tianshui Empire army.
Remember, no matter what, never love to fight! "
…………
On the frontal battlefields of Tianshui Empire and Minghui Empire, the situation is quite different. Among them, the most dazzling one is the fleet led by Prince Rui's eldest son Huang Fei.
Huang Fei's fleet, in addition to the substantial improvement in technology due to the Blue Star Group, also has talents from the Dayang Group.
The regular fleet of Dayang Group and the joint fleet of Blue Star Group have not arrived yet; but Huang Fei hired a top-level staff group, or instructor group, from Dayang Group through Huanglong.
The staff group provided by Dayang Group brought the interstellar blitzkrieg tactics that Dayang Group has carefully studied for more than ten years, as well as matching technologies.
The traditional way of war in Interstellar is to send a scout fleet to the surrounding starry sky to investigate the situation and find the opponent's main fleet based on intelligence.
Or if you are close to the border, you can scan the situation within a range of 30 to 50 light-years by building an imitation 'Tiantian Mirror'. Of course, you can also build a celestial mirror to scan the surroundings while advancing.
However, in order to have such functions, the Tongtian mirror needs to be built large enough to reach thousands of kilometers; moreover, this kind of sky mirror cannot be operated alone, and it needs to cooperate with the corresponding formation. The construction cost is high and the target is large.
There is another method of investigation, which is to scan the surrounding void through masters of cultivation, more precisely at the level of golden immortals, who hold a more advanced imitation 'Tiantian Mirror', which reaches the level of golden immortals.
But the high level of the fairy artifact does not mean that the scanning range is wide, and ten light years is the limit. Moreover, it is not easy to activate such an immortal weapon, and it consumes a lot of money for the golden immortal. It will not be used casually in non-emergency situations.
And because of the high level of fairy artifacts, the difficulty of refining and the high cost, the quantity is not large.
Imagine how much information there is in a starry sky with a range of ten light years, and how long even Jinxian can bear it.
Therefore, in an actual war, to find the target, more is to rely on the scout fleet, which is not efficient.
But Dayang Group has found an excellent solution - ultra-small nano-satellites. Before the war, spaceships had been quietly dispatched to drop countless small satellites to the pre-set war zone.
These satellites are not large and their functions are simple. Each one is no more than half a meter in size, disguised as wreckage, meteorites, etc. Its functions are only basic infrared observation and simple spatial fluctuation detection capabilities. The arrangement density of satellites is about 100-300 million kilometers away, which is not conspicuous.
Then there is communication. Its communication capability is directly simplified into binary code by Dayang Group, and there are really only two signals:
0 and 1, if the signal is 1, it means that space fluctuations are found, if the signal is 0, everything is normal. If the signal is '01', it means that it is suspected of spatial fluctuations, or too weak. If the signal is 10, both spatial fluctuations and spaceships/fleets have been detected.
Because the function is so simple, the cost is extremely low; the energy core directly uses radioactive nuclei instead of nuclear fusion. Such an energy core only needs to be three centimeters in size and can easily work for hundreds of years. Simple and reliable.
The only unsatisfactory thing is probably the communication speed. Because the function is simple, the communication ability is not enough. Fortunately, only two numbers are sent, and the signal can be sent to the 'reconnaissance plane' fifty light years away.
The reconnaissance aircraft provided by Dayang Group is a super-simplified version of its own sky-eye technology, or a derivative technology in the research process of sky-eye technology.
This technology greatly enhances the signal reception capability, but has no active detection capability. But in this way, a signal receiving area with a diameter of 100 light-years can be formed.
This kind of technology also ensures that the 'reconnaissance plane' is small enough and the energy consumption is low enough, so it doesn't need to be so 'glamorous'. A simple practice formation can hide it. Of course, the cost is also very low.
It's just that the time delay of the whole system is a bit too much, almost only one-third of the speed of Dayang Group's latest technology. But this speed is basically close to the general communication technology of the Minghui Empire more than ten years ago.
In fact, this technology itself is also one of the technologies researched by Dayang Group to defend the country. Now the 'high price' contributes.
In this way, Huang Fei has a panoramic view of the territory he is responsible for guarding, which is almost 1,000 light-years away. With the work of the engineering ship, the detection range continued to extend forward and spread around.
Now Huang Fei's scout fleet has transformed into a construction team. Huang Fei only needs to sit in the flagship, and he can determine the position of the enemy fleet through a simple three-dimensional map marked with 0 and 1 on the screen. Through the scale marked with 0 and 1, the target quantity can be roughly determined.
Afterwards, Huang Fei directly activated the main force of the fleet and turned it into a bolt of lightning to harvest the target.
Within ten days of the war, Huang Fei accurately sniped two enemy fleets. Because it is the main fleet against the branch fleet, the result is that the two branch fleets are completely wiped out.
This directly aroused the vigilance of the Tianshui Empire, but it was more panic-what happened?
However, Huang Fei is also ruthless in doing things. In order to confuse the enemy, he even found out among the prisoners that the position is not very high, but there are some key officers, especially those who are lonely and have been treated unfairly. , recruited them to surrender, and then publicly interviewed them under the attention of the military's own media, recognized their contributions, and finally dragged on and disappeared.
These captured officers were not stupid, they knew that they were afraid of being 'spies', but so what if they were in the barracks. They wanted to send a secret signal, but every word, tone of voice, and tone of voice must be strictly in accordance with the requirements of the enemy, otherwise... change it. With so many prisoners, are you afraid that you won't find anyone to cooperate with?
What's more, all the video materials will be edited and modified in the later stage, and even a bright smiling face can be made for the spokesperson before it is released.
And among these "spies" captives, Huang Fei found a captive named "Jiang Tian" even more wickedly. This captive had the same name as the prince of the Tianshui Empire!
Huang Fei turned this "Captive Jiang Tian" into a star figure, became the leading figure in "Spies", and even appeared in Minghui Empire's newspapers and news from all over the world.
After these 'news' are broadcast, one can imagine how much impact it has had on the Tianshui Empire. When the soldiers heard the news, their first reaction was that 'Jiang Tian' was a traitor; wait, the prince is also called Jiang Tian...
Is it surprising? Surprised or not?
When the news spread to the Tianshui Empire's military camp, the prince Jiang Tian, who was the warlord, rose up against the case, shouting "how can this be reasonable" several times. However, he was stunned for a long time, but sat down slumped, powerless. What's the use of scolding him now? Instead, it makes the enemy laugh more happily.
It seems that the reason why these two fleets were completely wiped out was because of a traitor!
At this time, the news that the flanking "Tongue Rolling Two Star Cluster" was lifted from the chessboard also reached the frontline general headquarters. The news was placed on the desk of Prince Jiang Tian and in front of Commander Wan Shansong.
The so-called house leak happens to rain all night, and that's probably what it's talking about!
Jiang Tian and Wan Shansong looked at each other, and both saw the seriousness in their eyes. After a while, Jiang Tian tentatively said, "You don't need to tell the rest of the generals about this news, do you?"
Wan Shansong frowned and thought for a long time, but did not answer this question, but changed the subject, "It seems that the Minghui Empire and the Blue Star Group may have planned it for a long time. It's just... I have doubts about those 'spies' !"
Since Wan Shansong can be the commander in chief, he is certainly not an idiot. He still found something unnatural in Huang Fei's operation. A fake is a fake after all, and there are always telltale signs.
Huang Fei made too many 'spies', and the rewards in the later stage were too high-profile, which is a bit unrealistic. Whose spies will appear in tens or hundreds, and it is really impossible to deploy other people's anti-espionage systems.
Besides, if there were to be spies, they should be protected and concealed. How can there be such an openness, I wish the whole world knew that we had arranged spies.
Especially the 'captive Jiang Tian', at first glance, is the kind of honesty; in the 'interview' and 'honoring' videos, there is a bit of stuttering. Although the smile in the video is bright, I always feel that there is an indescribable unnaturalness. In short, after watching the video several times carefully, you can find that Jiang Tian is more like being forced.
It’s just an old saying: when a fake is true, it’s also true, and when it’s true, it’s true when it’s fake! For the majority of soldiers, they do not have the ability to distinguish between true and false, the only thing they can do is: believe, and then feel uneasy.
Two fleets in a row went in, but none of the spaceships could escape, and the Tianshui Empire was rewarding 'spies' on a large scale. It is conceivable that the generals were panicked for a while.
Now, the flanking Tongue 2 star cluster has fallen, and the planets have been blown up. Zhu Guo's general Wan Shansong feels the pressure of 'Tianqing'.
Looking up at the star map in front of him, Wan Shansong gritted his teeth: he had to fight back. But where to start?
Now there has to be a counterattack, a victory is needed. As for the spies, Wan Shansong was skeptical. Turning around on the star map, Wan Shansong's eyes gradually locked on another direction: the defense zone of Huang Jian, the eldest son of Prince An of the Minghui Empire!
