Chapter 223 Space Version of Trap
Fire?
How could Qi Yiming do that? Those were his comrades...
Even if those people were willing to sacrifice themselves to buy time for the evacuation of the transport fleet, Qi Yiming would not agree to Wang Shuhua's suggestion.
"I don't have to attack you at this angle."
As he spoke, Qi Yiming commanded the Xuefeng to use the ecliptic plane of the Lando galaxy, forming an angle of nearly 30 degrees with the ecliptic plane.
From this angle, Qi Yiming could still attack the enemy ships hiding behind the asteroid, but shooting from this angle would create a small path for the enemy to pass through the minefield.
It was absolutely impossible for him to sacrifice his comrades.
Soon, a piece of airspace in the minefield was cleared again because of the shooting of the Xuefeng.
And the enemy warships hiding behind the asteroid were instantly sunk by the powerful firepower of the Xuefeng.
With the attack of the Xuefeng, the several cruisers that had just hit the asteroid felt the pressure suddenly reduced, and quickly pushed the asteroid forward a distance in the direction of the enemy.
However, as the enemy's backup warships caught up, the struggle in the passage was staged again.
Qi Yiming was not in a hurry to shoot at this time, and he just stayed at the position just now and waited for the enemy ship to pass.
In this way, Qi Yiming felt that this way of fighting was better than the way he fought at the beginning.
Because although the attack method at the beginning could delay the enemy's advance speed, the enemy was always advancing from beginning to end.
But now it is different. As long as an enemy ship passes through the shooting window of Xuefeng, it will be destroyed instantly, and our warships will seize the opportunity to push the asteroid towards the enemy for a distance, making the enemy's efforts just now come to nothing.
This time, Lu Zhenyang's self-proclaimed clever approach actually shot himself in the foot.
In desperation, Lu Zhenyang had to improve his combat methods.
He ordered the warships in front not to risk passing through the attack window of Xuefeng, but to split into two routes at this position, so that Xuefeng had to change its shooting position again.
The fleet of the New Federation also did the same. When the enemy split into two groups, several frigates of the fleet of the New Federation took the initiative to enter the channel and form a new wrestling point with the enemy.
The Xuefeng also changed its position naturally.
After a while, the minefield in front of the Xuefeng was hit into a sieve, and it was about to be undefended.
However, these were all problems that Qi Yiming had thought of before implementing the new combat plan. After commanding the Xuefeng to conduct another round of shooting, he immediately ordered all friendly ships that were wrestling with the enemy to withdraw from the minefield.
The order was not issued by Qi Yiming to abandon this line of defense, but there were already enough local warships in the minefield at this time, and it was time for the coalition forces to taste the real power of the minefield.
In fact, the whole plan was very simple. When Wang Shuhua laid the minefield, the air mines placed were not all proximity fuses. There were also a large number of movable remote-controlled air mines among these air mines, which were the real killer of this minefield.
The reason why Qi Yiming didn't use this trick at the beginning was just because Qi Yiming wanted to make a big move.
In fact, the situation that Lu Zhenyang is facing now is very similar to the beach landing in the ground war.
If there are fewer warships, it is easy for Qi Yiming to kill them with superior forces.
If there are more warships, they can be deployed quickly after passing through the minefield.
But I didn't expect Qi Yiming to make a stupid move and destroy himself. In order to attack the coalition warships, he took the initiative to open up multiple passages in the minefield.
Lu Zhenyang seized the opportunity to form multiple points of blossoming, and soon sent a large number of warships to fill the safe airspace cleared by the Xuefeng.
Just when Lu Zhenyang was complacent, he suddenly found that all the warships of the New Federation had withdrawn from the minefield. He thought Qi Yiming was going to run away.
But the next second he found something wrong.
Some of the air mines that were originally floating quietly in the minefield suddenly moved, and there were quite a few of them.
Seeing this, how could Lu Zhenyang not know that he was deceived.
It stands to reason that he should have thought that there would be such movable air mines in the minefield.
However, Qi Yiming's performance from the beginning made Lu Zhenyang mistakenly believe that the air mines in this minefield were all old models, and they were all air mines that could not be moved once anchored.
Otherwise, why did Qi Yiming have to let the Xuefeng stay at the other end of the passage and shoot at the coalition warships desperately? Wouldn't it be better to use movable air mines to hit the enemy ships?
It can only be said that Qi Yiming is really patient. He took a great risk to let Lu Zhenyang completely dispel the doubts in his heart and boldly sent his fleet into the safe passage in the minefield.
Now Qi Yiming finally couldn't hold back. Of course, the number of warships that can be accommodated in the minefield has reached the upper limit, and the number of movable air mines is not enough.
When Lu Zhenyang saw the movable air mines, he closed his eyes painfully, because he knew that what was going to happen next would be extremely tragic.
And the captains who commanded their warships to enter the minefield were already panicking at this time.
The movable air mines were obviously prepared for them.
So some captains commanded their warships to leave the safe passage and enter the core area of the minefield regardless of the danger.
But they found desperately that no matter where they went, there would be one or two air mines moving towards their warships.
In a panic, the warships that entered the minefield either collided with each other or touched the air mines.
Tens of thousands of warships were sunk one after another in front of Qi Yiming.
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, many warship commanders simply sent a message to the Xuefeng that they were willing to surrender.
In fact, Qi Yiming was willing to accept their surrender, but the current situation did not allow Qi Yiming to recover the captured warships.
However, letting these warships go would make the subsequent defensive war of the New Federation very difficult.
In the end, Qi Yiming gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to kill tens of thousands of warships trapped in the minefield.
The coalition forces were completely dumbfounded. In this battle, only one of their total warships was lost.
The most important thing was that the morale of the coalition forces was severely hit. Many captains were afraid to face the fleet of the New Federation directly, fearing that they would use some tricks again.
As the commander of this battle, Lu Zhenyang was pulled down from the throne of the coalition commander and thrown back into the dark prison. Only death was waiting for him.
With such serious casualties, the governments that made up the coalition forces must find a scapegoat.
The sudden change in the minefield bought enough time for the transport ships to retreat, so Qi Yiming was happy to lead his fleet to withdraw from the front line after discovering that the coalition seemed to have stopped attacking due to huge casualties, to escort the transport fleet evacuating the Landu galaxy.
The loss of the Landu galaxy became a matter of time with the active evacuation of the New Federation, but the New Federation left the coalition with a devastated violet New. The nearly three billion people who originally lived there only left less than one billion for the commercial alliance.
It was not that Qi Yiming did not want to take these people away, but they did not want to leave, and Qi Yiming respected their choice.
