Under sudden attack, the Imperial Navy quickly recovered from the initial chaos and launched a fierce counterattack. With the cooperation of the ground and air fleets, several Evernight battleships were shot down in a matter of seconds. Although two Imperial battleships were also shot down.
, but the exchange ratio still favors the empire.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Yongye Fleet immediately raised its altitude again and returned to the clouds. The Imperial Fleet did not dare to pursue it rashly and cautiously sent a high-speed ship out of the clouds to find out.
As soon as the frigate emerged from the clouds, the captain was so shocked that he almost fell down. Above the clouds, there was actually a tightly-organized fleet, with a giant ship in the center. The emblem was unfamiliar, but it was so huge that it was chilling. Even if it was not a Grand Duke-class ship
, at least at the Duke level.
After losing control of outer space, the Eternal Night Fleet has rarely seen Duke-class ships. Even if it does, most of them operate alone to avoid being dragged down by the fleet.
Now that such a fleet has appeared majestically, is it possible that the empire has regained control of outer space?
The Yongye Fleet saw the Imperial frigate emerging, and the two warships behind them made a wide turn and rushed over. Fortunately, the frigate was cautious enough and kept a safe distance. Seeing that the situation was not good, they turned around and ran away.
The frigate returned at a faster speed and delivered this shocking news. After all, the Fourteenth Prince was young and no longer knew what to do, while Duke Wei's face was as dark as water and he was silent.
The Central Army has changed from a marching formation to a defensive formation, while the escort fleet is entrenched in the sky above the army, not only to protect its wings, but also to protect itself with the help of ground firepower.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly rose and rolled away the clouds, making a corner of the huge fleet visible to everyone. For a moment, all the generals in the empire were shocked.
Seeing that the fishing was unsuccessful, the Yongye Fleet simply lowered its altitude slowly, fully displaying itself in front of the empire.
The flagship captain finally spoke, saying only three words: "Can't beat him."
The captain came from the Guards Fleet and was also an expert in outer space fleet warfare. Therefore, after hearing these words that clearly shaken the morale of the military, Duke Wei just frowned and did not get angry. He said slowly: "Can we fight?"
"It is possible to fight, but in the end we will still fail. The difference in combat power is too big, that is a complete outer space squadron!" The captain did not dare to speak out because of his identity as Duke Wei.
Duke Wei pointed at the eye-catching Duke's ship and asked, "Can you shoot it down?"
The captain shook his head and said, "It will be the only thing left until the end."
Weiguo Zhengyi: "In other words, we can kill all the warships except it?"
"The price is that our entire army will be wiped out."
Duke Wei's expression gradually turned cold, and he said: "This loss is more than justified. Send the order, march on!"
The captain was shocked and said: "Absolutely not!"
Duke Wei was displeased, "Why not! Even if our entire fleet is annihilated, Yongye's losses will exceed ours. They have already lost two entire outer space fleets, how many more mobile fleets can they mobilize at this moment?"
?The best strategy is to engrave the currency. No matter what, we cannot let this fleet go back to the void!"
The captain knew this was true. If the Eternal Night Fleet was not destroyed here, the pressure on the empire's ground forces would increase exponentially, and if it was more serious, it might affect the entire war situation. However, it was still a bit uncomfortable to sacrifice a battleship that had been driven for many years.
Duke Wei glanced at the Yongye Fleet in front and ordered: "The fleet remains above the legion, slowly moves forward, and assumes a wing-protecting posture. Without my order, it will always maintain its position and will not engage in free exchanges of fire. In addition, the
The news has been sent back to the Unfallen City. If what I have predicted is correct, the real decisive battle will begin, and it's time for those old guys to take action."
A high-speed contact boat flew towards the rear, and the Yongye Fleet made no movement, just blocking the front of the Imperial Fleet.
The Central Army, under the order of Duke Wei, once again moved forward as a whole. On the ground and in the air, it was like a ball of steel, slowly pressing towards the opponent.
The emperor's body is as one as the ground and the air, like a hedgehog with sharp thorns all over its body. The Yongye Fleet has only two options. One is to fight decisively. However, no matter whether it wins or loses, the visible result will inevitably be heavy losses. The other is to not fight and just watch.
Let the Central Army pass. If this happens, the Baicheng in front will never be taken back, the airport and the airport will fall, and most of the Yong Ye army on the floating land will be annihilated.
The emperor pressed forward step by step, and the Yongye fleet immediately formed a battle formation, retreated slowly, and revealed their response.
As a strange roar sounded in the sky, floating warships continued to emerge from the clouds and quickly descended behind the Yongye Fleet, looking at the posture that was about to land!
More than ten meters above the ground, the battleship hatch opened wide, and countless warriors fell like raindrops. These warriors jumped from more than ten heights and landed steadily. Their movements were not affected at all. They were obviously elite.
Countless equipment boxes were dropped along with the soldiers. The Eternal Night warriors swarmed forward and took out pieces of steel armor plates that could be spliced from the equipment boxes. They were connected to each other, and in the blink of an eye, a chest-high barrier was built in front of the emperor.
A low armored wall. In the wild, there is a huge difference between having this wall and not having it.
The first row of dark race warriors were already standing ready, and transport ships began to appear behind them, continuing to spit out soldiers and equipment. In the blink of an eye, a row of heavy artillery was ready. Although the number was small, only twenty or thirty, among them
Several ballistae capable of firing giant crossbows are a huge threat to the Imperial fleet.
The Fourteenth Prince was finally moved, "What are the Guards Fleet doing? How could such a large fleet be let in like this?" Just the battleships, if the transport ships can come in, then the outer space situation in the empire will be extremely serious.
situation.
The answer came quickly.
The Duke of Wei, who had been silent all this time, looked up at the sky as if he was aware of it. In the clouds several kilometers away, there were some places faintly showing the color of fire. Suddenly some wreckage fell from the clouds, burning and falling on the ground.
On the ground.
Those are the remains of floating battleships. Just looking at the thickness of the ship walls, one can tell that they are at least the main outer space battleships of the cruiser level.
The wreckage has been burned and almost completely deformed, but from the external style, it is still possible to distinguish that some belong to the Empire and others belong to Eternal Night.
Duke Wei sighed and said, "It seems that the Imperial Guard Fleet has done its best."
The Fourteenth Prince also saw something strange in the sky and immediately understood that a battle was going on in outer space. The battle was so intense that the wreckage of a battleship had fallen.
The Fourteenth Prince looked up at the sky and asked: "Even if the Guards Fleet wins, they will not come down. They will only set up a blockade in outer space. But what should we do?"
Duke Wei smiled bitterly. In the current situation, perhaps the Imperial Guard fleet did not expect Yong Ye to suddenly make a heavy bet. The main force is not here. Perhaps it is because the combat power is simply not enough to completely stop the opponent who is determined to break through. The first type is fine, and the second
The second option is too bad, it means that Yongye may still have the energy to invest troops on the ground.
Moreover, the Imperial Guard Fleet is a pure outer space fleet, and ground support is not what they are good at. From the types of troops to individual equipment and heavy weapons, they are not of the same type.
The most reasonable strategy is to intercept the Eternal Night Fleet when it breaks into the floating land, causing as much blood loss as possible, and then sealing off the outer space and waiting for the Eternal Night Fleet to come out. When the fleet enters and exits the void, it needs to adjust its formation. The side waiting for the enemy can wait and see.
A brilliant result. As for what the Yongye Fleet did during the period after it broke into the floating land, it has nothing to do with the Imperial Guard Fleet.
Duke Wei said slowly: "At this moment, I am commanding the Imperial Guard Fleet, which is probably blocking the void and waiting for the Yongye Fleet to come out."
The fourteenth prince looked at Duke Wei, waiting for the next step.
At this moment, the situation is no longer something he can handle. With the emergence of a large number of ground troops in Yongye, it is now the emperor's turn to be in a dilemma. If he attacks, he will suffer heavy losses, and if the two armies are allowed to confront each other, Baicheng's side will suffer heavy losses.
You can know what will happen.
Yongye placed such a heavy bet on intercepting the Central Route Army, and obviously placed an even greater bet on Baicheng. It was obvious that he wanted to wipe out all the Baicheng troops and completely remove the nail that threatened the airport.
Duke Wei's face gradually became serious as he looked at Yong Ye's troops, who were not attacking, but were just constantly improving their defenses. Yong Ye's intentions were too obvious. After a moment, he slowly raised his right hand, and an adjutant immediately came over to wait for instructions.
"Send the order..." Duke Wei paused for a long time, then continued: "Attack with the whole army, and create a passage at all costs!"
The adjutant was startled, but did not dare to say anything. He left in a hurry and conveyed the order.
Duke Wei looked at the fourteenth prince again and said: "Your Highness, please come out as the human emperor!"
"Human Emperor? Now?" The Fourteenth Prince was obviously a little surprised.
Wei Guozheng said: "The Human Emperor is a soldier in the battle formation, and this is the time to show it. Only by defeating the ground position in one fell swoop can we hope to break the opponent's ground-air formation and penetrate the passage to Baicheng."
"Why so anxious?"
"If my prediction is correct, Baicheng is probably at a critical moment of life and death at this moment. We can only attack with all our might. Even if we cannot arrive in time, we must find a way to contain more powerful people and reduce the pressure there."
The Fourteenth Prince had heard something about it and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Isn't it too risky for Yong Ye to do this? If it fails, the loss will be even greater."
Duke Wei showed his determination and said: "That's exactly what happened. That's why we are going to destroy the opponent in one fell swoop. If we try too slowly, we may have fallen into the opponent's trap."
"I understand, please wait a moment, Lord Duke, I will go get the Human Emperor right now."
"Okay! The first blow will be up to His Highness later."
A moment later, all the battleships in the Imperial Formation sounded their horns in unison, and the Empire's unique distant horn sound resounded across the battlefield. On the ground, all Imperial troops formed an offensive formation, following the fleet in the air, and slowly moved forward.
Yongye seemed not to have expected that the empire would still attack under such an unfavorable situation. For a moment, there was a slight confusion in the rear area where the reinforcements were reinforced. Some transport ships that had unloaded their cargo began to speed away, but there were still transport planes arriving one after another from the sky.
As a result, the order of low-altitude navigation within a limited range was affected.
"Now!" Duke Wei gave the order, and the imperial fleet suddenly accelerated and pounced on the Yongye Fleet.
The chaotic order at low altitude in the rear also affected the formation of some Yongye battleships. After one round, Yongye suffered a moderate loss. Some battleships opened fire hastily before they even flew out of the range of their own ground positions, and then suddenly
An Evernight frigate was hit, burning and falling, smashing into our own position.
At this time, the imperial flagship suddenly accelerated and swooped down, facing the Yongye ground troop position below under a heavy rain of bullets. The fourteenth prince stood on the bow of the ship holding the Human Emperor. There was a faint light around him, regardless of the original reason.
Whether it's a bullet or a crossbow arrow, it will be bounced off if it lands on the aperture.
Duke Wei personally took action to protect him, and even the highest command of the dark force on the ground, the Marquis, could not break through his protection for a while. The fourteenth prince calmly and sincerely held the Human Emperor in his hand and fired a shot at the densely packed dark warriors below.
Blast out!
In an instant, wherever the flowing fire passed, a blank space appeared in the dark race's military formation.
