Chapter 1556: Use of Rotten Words
During the next 18 days of the journey, the fleet encountered 17 waves of alien forests.
Three of the waves were not only large in number, but also surrounded by other alien forests, so it was not appropriate to start a war.
It was not that they could not fight, but once they started fighting, if they could not annihilate them all, it would cause greater trouble.
But if they did not fight, they would not be able to resist the pursuit of the other side, right?
It took them four days just to get rid of these forests.
Some soldiers in the military could not bear it and actively asked for a fight - with so many warships, how could they chase them?
However, this application was suppressed by the colonel: Digital Phantom decided not to fight, do you think it is stronger than them?
Or do you think that our few warships can dominate the alien race?
The colonel suppressed this emotion, but the fragments of the small lake were all over the fleet, how could he not know?
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei just nodded, "It is a good thing that the military can be used."
He never minded the belligerence of the soldiers. What is a proud soldier? Those who can fight are never the kind of people who can only obey orders.
As long as you can obey orders, you are a good soldier. Isn't it normal to have some ideas of your own?
After fourteen battles, nearly four thousand small ships were lost, nearly one hundred company-level ships were lost, and even two battalion-level ships were lost.
The losses mentioned here are completely unable to fight again, not including the injured ones.
Their losses alone for small ships have exceeded one-tenth, and this is just the price of rushing.
But Qu Jianlei didn't feel distressed. They had killed more than 16,000 alien forests!
The forests that besieged Baozhi Star at the beginning only had hundreds of thousands of trees.
Based on the current record, if he killed all the small ships, he could basically rescue half of Baozhi Star.
Unfortunately, they almost emptied the war reserve of Keqi Star to get so many small ships.
So the alliance did not save Baozhi Star. Although there was an unknown enemy situation, it really couldn't afford to fight.
For the superiors who are high above, it is okay to lose unimportant places, and preserving strength is the right thing to do!
From a military perspective, it is to rely on one's own depth to tire out and defeat the enemy.
Unfortunately, this enemy is not ordinary brutal. Wherever it passes, no grass grows, and there are endless backups...
But this is all off topic. For Qu Jianlei, the most important thing is that his main battleships have not suffered much loss.
In the future large-scale battles, small ships will not have much use, and the main battleships will still be the focus.
On the nineteenth day, they finally approached the space fluctuation point.
When the distance was 40 to 50 million kilometers, Xiao Hu sensed the strong space fluctuation, "We are almost there."
But after more than 5 million kilometers, a large forest appeared in front.
Densely packed... Well, this word has been used too much, but there are about 1,700 to 1,800 trees, which looks absolutely shocking.
Among the alien forests that Qu Jianlei has encountered, this scale is enough to rank in the top ten.
The key is that these top ten are basically guarding the mother tree of Sihai Star.
There are forests of this scale in space, and this one can rank in the top three!
He asked silently, "Can we go around it?"
"No," the big-headed butterfly turned around, "There are similar forests around, forming a protective circle."
After breaking through this protective circle, there are almost no aliens inside, and you can face the huge forest inside.
At the beginning, Xiaohu's clone and Yinshan smashed around for ten days and released countless monitors.
But the aliens are also very sensitive to the monitors, and very few can get in.
In the end, they didn't gain much, but they could roughly determine that the number of alien forests inside should be between three and four thousand.
Qu Jianlei also knew the situation from Yinshan, and now he asked this question just because he was unwilling, "Is there no new monitoring feedback?"
The big-headed butterfly turned around, "No at present, wait another day."
Facts have proved that there is no waiting for another day, so Qu Jianlei had to make combat deployments.
This large forest of aliens in front of him cannot be attacked by force, but can only be taken by wits.
The forests around this protective circle are adjacent. If the war starts and lasts a little longer, they will definitely be discovered by the surroundings.
If you want to quickly annihilate the enemy, you must use the outflanking tactic.
In the previous 14 battles, they have used this tactic a lot - who told the aliens that their speed of movement is not as fast as the starship?
So this tactic, they and the army have cooperated quite well.
But it can't be used now. If you really want to outflank, the surrounding aliens will find you before the battle begins.
Xiaohu didn't even dare to sneak in directly, which is very telling.
So Qu Jianlei's decision is... to lure the enemy!
He sent out a battalion-level ship and three company-level ships, as well as corresponding standard small ship configurations, all of which are alliance-standard.
It's not that the alliance wants to take the blame, the key is that the alliance has fought with the aliens too many times, and there must be some related hatred memories, right?
A company-level ship led the way, followed by a battalion-level ship, and there were two company-level ships around to guard, rushing straight towards the aliens.
When they were two million kilometers away, the alien Lin Hai discovered them and showed a trace of restlessness.
Then more than a hundred trees came forward to meet them - this was not to underestimate the human starship, this scale was already considered very important.
However, the battalion-level ships were not polite either, and went straight forward to engage in battle, and also released small ships to guard the flanks.
Yes, small ships are only auxiliary combat forces, not the main combat forces.
But even so, the eighteen small ships still destroyed twelve trees.
The battleship even blew up more than 80 trees, but its own battalion-level ship and two company-level ships were also seriously injured.
Only one company-class ship was slightly damaged, and fifteen small ships were damaged.
This battle loss ratio is much worse than the previous battles, mainly because... the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered.
In previous battles, Qu Jianlei and the others had used the crowd to dominate the minority, so that they could achieve a better battle-loss ratio.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the company-class ship grabbed all the starships and fled quickly - one by one.
Lin Hai, a foreigner from the rear, had already sent reinforcements, and the remaining twenty or so trees were hot on their heels.
At the critical moment, nine more small ships flew out from the battalion-level ship, directly annihilating the more than 20 trees.
This is when Qu Jianlei and the others set up a teleportation array on the battalion-level ship, and sent Qinghu and Tianyin to guard it.
The trees behind saw that the first wave of attacking teams in front were wiped out, and they couldn't bear it anymore.
There are more than 300 trees in pursuit, which is supposed to be enough to destroy the enemies in front.
They don't fly very fast, but the enemy in front only has one capital ship that can still be used, and their speed can't increase.
However, the next moment, nine attack ships flew out from the battalion-level ship again and attacked fiercely.
This wave of attacks took away eight more trees, and four small ships were lost.
Lin Hai from behind continued to chase, and then they were surprised to find that the other party... actually had an ambush!
Three more battalion-level ships and nine company-level ships flew in from the depths of space.
According to the previous battle loss ratio, this wave of enemy reinforcements can basically eat up their reinforcements.
At this point in the battle, Lin Hai at the rear could no longer sit still and pressed forward with his entire army.
Aliens are intelligent beings, but the inevitable retribution is something deeply embedded in their genes.
——If you make me suffer such a big loss, then I will fight you till death.
The alien race probably doesn't know the term "fueling tactics", but it's obvious that they know that a lion uses its full strength to fight a rabbit!
However, this wave of enemies continued to flee after causing damage to more than 200 trees.
This alien forest was completely enraged, and they rushed to catch up regardless.
Just like the pursuits that Qu Jianlei and the others encountered many times - they may not be able to catch up, but their attitude must be made clear.
They were in hot pursuit, but the protective circle behind them revealed a considerable gap.
But Lin Hai, the other alien race, is not suitable to rush to fill his position.
Whether in the animal world or the human world, there is a word called sphere of influence.
So on the side, there was a huge fleet, sneaking in like this.
After chasing this alien race for a long time, they found that they were getting further and further away.
After a day and a night, they found that they were out of reach and could only turn around in frustration.
Qinghu looked behind him, then smiled at Tianyin, "It seems that you don't need to continue to attract hatred."
Tian playfully shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile, "That's really a pity. I don't wish I was so useless."
Qinghu looked at her deeply and said, "Don't be so hypocritical. The boss said that you may be the decisive fighting force of the human race in the future."
Tianyin shook her head simply, "I'm not. Let alone competing with the boss, senior Jing Yuexin... is someone I can't wait to catch up with."
Qing Hu smiled, but she was muttering in her heart: Want to compete with Jing Yuexin? Little guy, your thoughts are a bit dangerous...
The aliens in this forest are returning slower, probably because they want to save energy.
However, less than two hours after they decided to return, a gray ruler appeared more than a million kilometers ahead.
The ruler is very inconspicuous in space. After it appears, it shakes slightly.
The next moment, a company-class ship suddenly appeared in space. Unlike the ruler, it was quite conspicuous.
Immediately afterwards, Qinghu and Tianyin teleported to the company-class ship, and then warships appeared one by one.
In Qu Jianlei's words - "You have already adjusted them out, don't put them back again."
Fifteen hours later, the battle ended and the two of them joined the main force.
Only the people in Digital Phantom knew that the two of them had left briefly. Others didn't know that such an incident had happened.
During these two days, the huge fleet quietly cruised around the space fluctuation point, observing carefully.
The diameter of the wave point exceeds two thousand kilometers, and there are strong and unstable energy fluctuations.
The radius affected by the fluctuation exceeds one million kilometers.
The observation instruments on the starship show that there is a bright red warning zone at least from the core point to 100,000 kilometers.
