Chapter 163 The Function of a Wise Man
The enemy fleet dispersed, which was the best news for Qi Yiming. This way, he would have more opportunities to defeat the enemy fleet one by one.
Wang Ruiling was of course also worried about this problem. Although he ordered the fleet to disperse and search, the distance between the teams was not far. As long as one team was attacked, the other teams could reach the battlefield in a few minutes.
However, Qi Yiming's deliberate weakness in advance made him underestimate the combat power of the small fleet in front of him.
Not long after the fleet dispersed, a warship was suddenly attacked.
When the support fleet arrived, the battle was over.
Although the whole army was not annihilated, two battlecruisers were lost.
This made Wang Ruilin feel deeply frustrated.
Since he became the fleet commander, this was the first time he encountered such a difficult opponent.
In fact, Qi Yiming's life was not easy. Although the Ares could clearly control the battlefield information, every attack had to risk being surrounded by the enemy fleet, so every time he attacked, he could only do his best to eliminate the enemy. As for how many warships could be sunk, it all depended on luck.
However, after many sneak attacks, Qi Yiming and his team also achieved considerable results.
Originally, eight of the ten battlecruisers in the enemy fleet were lost in Qi Yiming's sneak attack, and only eleven of the twenty-five cruisers remained. Although the destroyers and frigates did not suffer much loss, they did not pose a great threat to Qi Yiming and his team, so they were no longer the focus of Qi Yiming's sneak attack.
Wang Ruilin looked at the battle losses reported by each team and immediately realized that he could not continue to fight like this. If he was always led by Qi Yiming, sooner or later his fleet would become a shame for the Commercial Alliance.
A fully staffed interstellar fleet actually had no way to deal with a small fleet of only four warships. It was not shameful enough to say it.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Ruilin immediately gathered the fleet and withdrew to the border, and honestly became a gatekeeper.
When he returned to the border to count the fleet's losses again, Wang Ruilin's face turned pale.
Now only one and a half of the five battleships remain, and only seven battlecruisers that survived the sneak attack can continue to fight, and the rest are just barely holding on without sinking.
This made Wang Ruilin doubt whether he could still intercept this small fleet.
In fact, Qi Yiming's losses were also very large. In the battle, in order to cover the Redemption and repair the outer armor for Qi Yiming's Ares, the Lightning used its own ship body to resist the attacks from enemy ships many times.
At this moment, several main guns on the ship's hull have been destroyed and completely lost their combat effectiveness.
Ares was not much better. In the last sneak attack, it was hit by an enemy ship at the torpedo launch port of the Heavy Hammer. Now the Heavy Hammer can only breathe out of one nostril, and its combat effectiveness has also dropped sharply.
When Qi Yiming found that Wang Ruilin was gathering the fleet and retreating to the border, he knew that there was no chance to weaken the enemy, so he changed the battle plan again.
Several warships were combined again, and the Xuefeng returned to the battlefield again.
"Now we can only fight head-on. Even if the enemy commander is slow to react, he should have guessed our battle plan by now." Qi Yiming looked at the extremely tired people and spoke slowly.
"We have done enough. We have killed so many enemy ships..." Wang Shuhua licked his dry lips and said.
He Zhenzhu and Wang Sen looked at Qi Yiming silently, but their eyes revealed an indomitable momentum.
"Then each of us will return to our respective posts. Whether we can escape from here today or not, we must always leave a deep impression on the enemy."
Soon, the Xuefeng accelerated into the jump channel, and her figure appeared in front of Wang Ruilin again after more than ten minutes.
This was the first time Wang Ruilin saw the Xuefeng's body with his own eyes. Her slender hull was covered with main guns that were no less than those of her own battleships, and the two super-heavy main guns with surprisingly large muzzles put Wang Ruilin under great pressure.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring a drone this time, otherwise I could have defeated you scum in a minute." Qi Yiming looked at the neatly arranged enemy troops and couldn't help but regret his decision at the time.
Before leaving, Ye Lu had suggested that he use a transport ship to bring some drones just in case, but Qi Yiming disliked the slow movement of the transport ship and did not agree.
However, there was no drone pod on the Xuefeng, and the ship's warehouse was also filled with various supplies. Qi Yiming simply didn't bring any drones. Now that he remembered the drone swarm, it was a pity that it was too late to regret.
While Qi Yiming was thinking wildly, the warships of both sides finally entered the range of each other's main guns.
Qi Yiming came to his senses and ordered the Xuefeng to directly start the fortress mode and prepare for a fight to the death.
"Whether we can escape depends on this hammer deal."
The tail flame of the Xuefeng's engine suddenly became smaller, and Wang Ruilin looked like the warship had lost power.
Wang Ruilin, who had long been furious at Qi Yiming's harassment tactics, could no longer bear the anger in his heart, and directly ordered all the warships, whether they could fight or not, to attack.
"Today we will use ramming to sink you." At this time, he had already forgotten the order issued by the military.
What capture or not? He sank so many of my warships, and so many of my brothers died. If he wants to live, it depends on his mood.
As soon as the general attack order was issued, all the warships pushed the engine power to the maximum, and rushed out in a swarm.
The Xuefeng, which entered the fortress mode, no longer estimated the bursting laser flying towards her, relying on the solid outer armor to withstand all attacks.
Even so, the integrity of the outer armor of the Xuefeng dropped by 53% after the enemy's first round of attack.
Since it was a desperate battle, Qi Yiming no longer paid attention to the injuries of the Xuefeng, and only asked to tilt all energy to the nanorobot production line inside the Guardian as much as possible while ensuring that all main guns were charged normally.
The rest can only be left to luck.
The Xuefeng first launched a round of missiles and also sent a heavy torpedo.
But this time the missile attack seemed to have eyes, shuttling back and forth in the enemy's air defense firepower network. Only dozens of more than 300 missiles were intercepted by air defense firepower.
Wang Ruilin watched the missile rain fall into his fleet, and instantly a bloody storm was set off.
"How is it? How does the precision guidance of the Wise taste?" Qi Yiming slightly raised the corner of his mouth and showed a satisfied smile.
The reason why the Wise is called the Wise is not because she can carry out battlefield electromagnetic suppression. This is only one of her functions, and the other function is to guide all the ammunition with guidance equipment on the battlefield to attack.
In addition to a high-power electromagnetic suppression device, the rest of her interior is filled with high-performance intelligent brain chips, forming a chip array, all serving an intelligent brain.
On a complex battlefield, she can judge the enemy's firepower vacuum zone in just one hundred thousandth of a second, and smoothly guide weapons such as missiles through the firepower network, which can bring a lot of surprises to the enemy.
