Apart from leaving messy insect remains on the battlefield, the Zerg fleet did not pose much of a threat to the Beiyan defense fleet.
Only a few T3 Hive Motherships and T4 Hive Motherships can slightly threaten Beiyan's defense line, but when these threats appear.
The Beiyan Defense Fleet will dispatch a special operations fleet to encircle and kill them.
The first step is to arrange a round of missile bombing by the T2 Lion-class heavy interstellar missile ship, and then a fleet of T3 Snowstorm-class light interstellar battlecruisers will conduct a beheading operation on the threatening targets in the area.
This plan was proposed by Xu Yifan, drawing on the tactics used by Zhao Chen in the Battle of Morton Stargate.
"Report, so far our defense against the enemy has advanced less than one-tenth of the distance." The subordinate looked at Marshal Zhong Yan, who looked ugly.
Just now, Marshal Zhong Yan kept saying that he would wipe out the Beiyan Group within ten hours.
But now more than three hours have passed.
The number of interstellar battleships that were annihilated in the Beiyan Defense Fleet was only a few hundred.
On the other hand, the number of hive motherships they lost has reached thousands, and their offensive efficiency is extremely low.
According to this situation, let alone ten hours, it is estimated that a hundred hours may not be able to end this battle.
"There's no time to waste.
Form a breakthrough fleet, with the quasi-T5 Hive Mothership leading the charge, and the T4 Hive Mothership and T3 Hive Mothership accompanying the team.
We must tear open the gap in the enemy's defense line in the shortest possible time and destroy those damn interstellar missile ships first!" Marshal Zhong Yan ordered.
Although this may result in the loss of a group of elite Hive Motherships, in order to end this battle as soon as possible, Marshal Zhong Yan believes that such sacrifices are completely acceptable.
Subsequently, a group of elite insect nest motherships emerged from the Zerg fleet, formed a cone-shaped charging square, and launched an attack.
The slow moving quasi-T5 hive carrier is in the middle.
Although this Leviathan King-class hive mothership is huge and has amazing combat power, its sailing speed is its shortcoming.ωωw..net
In addition, there are a large number of hive motherships ahead, which are blocked by enemy artillery fire, making the movement even slower.
It's been several hours and they haven't entered the combat area yet.
"Report! The enemy has formed a group of stormtroopers and has a large number of elite hive motherships.
Among them is the Leviathan King-class Hive Mothership, and the rest include thirty T4 Hive Motherships and five hundred T3 Hive Motherships!
The most important thing is that according to the speed of the assault fleet, the Leviathan King-class hive mothership will enter the attack range in ten minutes, and the area covered will include one of our defense satellite bases." A subordinate reported.
Li Wei frowned. He knew very well that the most threatening enemy was the Leviathan King-class Hive Mothership, which was a quasi-T5 Hive Mothership.
Even if a thousand T2 Lion-class heavy interstellar missile ships on his side launch a fire attack on it, it is estimated that it will hardly pose a threat to its thick biological armor.
"Send my order, all personnel and star battleships in Defense Base No. 1 are ready to evacuate!"
For this situation, Li Wei had already made arrangements.
The defense bases he deployed in advance were to create a depth of defense, first relying on the fire bombing of interstellar missile ships to slow down the enemy's attack.
And when the Leviathan King-class Hive Mothership really threatens one's own defense base, it will first abandon the defense base and retreat to the back.
Li Wei has deployed as many as thirty defense bases like this!
These are the bridgehead bases outside the Beiyan Group’s industrial base.
If you want to enter the Beiyan Group Industrial Base, this is the only way you can choose.
Because the location of the Beiyan Group's industrial base is very special, the area around it is a stable and permanent cosmic disaster zone. Even if the T5 Hive Mothership enters it, it will be difficult to escape.
Therefore, the only route is a frontal attack.
ten minutes later
The Leviathan King-class hive mothership fired its bioplasma cannon, and the green beam directly penetrated the asteroid that had been transformed into a combat satellite.
The asteroid was torn apart and all the weapons and equipment on it were destroyed.
Seeing such a scene, Li Wei and Xu Yifan both felt nervous.
Although the terrifying combat power of this Leviathan King-class hive mothership has long been known from the information provided by the Xiaolong Legion, seeing it with one's own eyes is still frightening.
"Report, Combat Satellite No. 1 has been destroyed.
Twenty-seven people who had no time to evacuate died, and three T2 star battleships that had no time to evacuate were damaged and destroyed," reported a subordinate.
Although the evacuation order was issued early, it is still difficult to completely withdraw.
There were only a few dozen casualties, which was already a pretty good number.
"Pay close attention to the location of the Leviathan King-class Hive Mothership, and at the same time order the No. 2 Combat Satellite Base to be ready to evacuate at any time!" Li Wei said sternly.
At this time, Xu Yifan's video window asked from the side: "Brother Li, according to the battle in front of us, it is impossible for us to completely defend against the enemy's attack.
When will the support from the Xiaolong Legion arrive?"
Li Wei looked at Xu Yifan.
Xu Yifan added: "Brother Li, don't worry, I'm not afraid; even if there are no reinforcements, I, Xu Yifan, will fight here until the end.
I just...want to know the specific situation."
Li Wei glanced at Xu Yifan, and he told him something that only the top brass of their Beiyan Defense Fleet knew.
"The last command sent back by Lord Xiaolong before the communication was interrupted.
Let us persist for 72 hours no matter what, and reinforcements will surely arrive within 72 hours!"
Seventy-two hours, three days.
It doesn't look very long.
But Xu Yifan looked at the still huge Zerg fleet on the opposite side and realized that this was a very difficult challenge.
But no matter what, whether it is seventy-two hours or seven hundred and twenty hours, unless they fall, they will stick here.

"Report to Commander, all legions and fleets are ready." Secretary Lilith reported to Commander Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen decisively issued the order: "Pass my order, the Xiaolong First Legion, the Xiaolong Second Legion, and the Xiaolong Third Legion are preparing to make an interstellar jump. The coordinates and locations have been sent.
After arriving at the coordinate location, immediately launch an attack.
The Xiaolong Fourth Legion is on standby.
start to act!"
"yes!"
Three Xiaolong Legions and nearly 10,000 interstellar warships are preparing to blitz the Xueyan Starfield at this moment!
