Chapter 222 Critical Moment

The coalition forces concentrated their forces to pass through this gap, which Qi Yiming had long expected.

So Qi Yiming didn't panic when he saw this situation. He knew that as long as the Xuefeng concentrated its firepower to attack this gap in the mine field, it would be basically impossible for the coalition fleet to come through this gap.

Even though the first few battleships were advancing rapidly against the wreckage of friendly ships, the width of the minefield was very wide. It would take more than ten minutes to pass through this channel without interference.

If the Xuefeng continued to interfere without interruption, it would take at least twenty minutes to go up through this minefield using the passage.

If you also include the fact that the Xuefeng launches a particle light spear every ten minutes, the time it takes to pass through the minefield will be longer.

Under the command of Qi Yiming, the Xuefeng maximized its firepower output.

The battleships at the forefront of the coalition fleet have been changed several times.

The wreckage of the battleship has almost blocked the channel. Sometimes, in order to pass through, the coalition fleet has to take the initiative to smash the wreckage in front of them or push it away from the channel.

"Reporting to the captain, the vanguard fleet of the third wing has lost nearly 90% of its combat power. If this continues, we will pay an unimaginable price for passing through this minefield." The liaison officer of the coalition looked at this man who was parachuted to the coalition command. department boss.

Lu Zhenyang, on the other hand, said to him unmoved: "Keep moving forward. Without my order, even if all the warships are sunk, you are not allowed to take a step back."

"I will issue orders, but at the same time I will truthfully report the war situation to the top leaders of various countries."

"This is your right, but before that you must truthfully convey my orders to each regiment, otherwise I will use military law."

The liaison officer's face was a little ugly. Although he worked at the coalition command as a liaison officer, they were from the Republic of Turing. Of course, they would be selective when conveying orders to others.

What's more, the reason for forcibly breaking through the minefield this time is that the Business Alliance did not want to see a large loss of population, so that's why the commander was asked to forcibly break through the minefield.

There is no benefit to winning this kind of battle, and he certainly doesn't want to let his own fleet be at the forefront if he loses.

Fortunately, Lu Zhenyang also knows that it is impossible for other countries' fleets to fight in front of such a thing.

Therefore, the biggest casualties so far are the main fleets of the Commercial Alliance.

Originally, he thought that there was a battleship wreckage in front of him, which would provide some protection. No matter how heavy the casualties were, he would still be able to pass through the minefield.

However, when Xuefeng completed another particle light spear launch, more than 70% of the warships in the channel suffered varying degrees of damage, and dozens of warships in the front row were vaporized again.

Only then did Lu Zhenyang wake up. If he continued to fight like this, even if he was given another coalition fleet, it would be impossible to break through the minefield in front of him. He would have to think of another way.

As a result, the coalition's seemingly suicidal attacks temporarily stopped.

This made the captains who were preparing for the next wave of attacks breathe a sigh of relief.

"Send an engineering ship to the asteroid belt to capture a few asteroids of suitable size and put them in front of the fleet." After thinking for a while, Lu Zhenyang ordered to his adjutant.

Soon several engineering ships broke away from the rear group and flew quickly towards the asteroid belt.

Qi Yiming was still wondering why the enemy's attack had stopped.

A few hours later, when he saw several engineering ships dragging an asteroid back to the battlefield from Xuefeng's battlefield monitor, he immediately understood.

Seeing the enemy engineering ship pushing the asteroid at the front of the fleet and entering the passage again, Qi Yiming once again ordered the particle light spear to fire.

But the effect of this attack was greatly reduced.

The asteroid at the front had only the lower layer melted on its surface, but the battleship hiding behind was not damaged at all. Qi Yiming knew something bad was going to happen.

So he immediately contacted Wang Shuhua: "Pull your fleet over, I can't hold on anymore."

Soon, Wang Shuhua, who originally guarded the transport fleet, commanded the fleet to appear next to the Xuefeng.

However, the shooting window in front of them could not accommodate so many warships to form formation. In desperation, Qi Yiming could only let a few warships with stronger firepower come to the vicinity of Xuefeng.

Under Qi Yiming's arrangement, several warships quickly opened fire one after another.

The effect this time was better than before, but it was still unable to stop the progress of the coalition fleet.

Wang Shuhua also saw the current situation clearly at this time and knew that the situation was not optimistic.

So he stopped asking any more questions and immediately turned to Violet Star to urge everyone to speed up their evacuation.

However, they were all old people and children, and the already chaotic evacuation became even more chaotic under Wang Shuhua's urging.

Fortunately, everyone also learned from Wang Shuhua that the situation was not good. In order to speed up, some old people simply threw their luggage to both sides and rejoined the evacuating crowd empty-handed.

Now everyone else is following suit, and the speed has indeed accelerated a lot.

However, Wang Shuhua estimated that at the current speed, it would take at least 4 hours to complete the evacuation.

Wang Shuhua knew that it was useless to rush, so he could only say to Qi Yiming: "The retreat is too slow. If it doesn't work, just take the first step, and I will lead the fleet to deal with them."

Qi Yiming said, "Don't even think about letting me leave first. If I leave in this situation, what's the difference between leaving you and sending you to your death?"

Unable to persuade him to do anything, Wang Shuhua could only command his ship to return to the minefield.

At this time, the coalition fleet had already passed half of the passage, and Qi Yiming and his men had only smashed two asteroids.

However, under the urging of Lu Zhenyang, the coalition forces had been picking suitable asteroids to transport to the front line.

Just when Qi Yiming was at a loss, several cruisers suddenly came out of the fleet that was originally responsible for guarding the Lando galaxy and flew into the passage at a high speed.

I saw that the cruisers followed the enemy's example and held the asteroids in the opposite direction, trying their best to slow down the opponent's speed.

The two sides began a rare struggle in the space battleship war.

However, the coalition side was a battleship. Although the engine thrust of several cruisers could delay the opponent, it still could not stop the opponent's progress.

"For Violet Star, for the New Federation, fire at us..."

Qi Yiming did not expect that these people were willing to sacrifice themselves to buy time for the evacuation of the transport fleet.

But Qi Yiming could not do it, and hesitated for a moment.

"Don't hesitate..."

A firm voice came from the communicator again.

At the same time, the cruisers slowly adjusted their positions, leaving a firing window for the Xuefeng.

However, with such a small gap, the Xuefeng's artillery fire would inevitably sink the cruisers no matter how accurate it was.

"The Führer... fire. Their families are on the transport ship behind us..."
