Chapter 1,429: Tens of millions of troops, not a single hero
There is a saying that the destruction of Cuiling Fortress really had little to do with the two imitation fortress cannons of Yu Company. Even if the reactor of those two huge cannons exploded on the spot, it would at most turn into a tragic space fire scene.
Overall, it will not have a direct or fatal structural impact on the fortress.
But the problem is that this fortress has structural hidden dangers.
The empire did not provide the Bakvi people with a Sky Castle-level core reactor or a super-large and complete life-support system. The Cuiling Fortress that the Birds spent a lot of money to build is not so much a Sky Castle, but is actually seven or eight sub-levels.
A green leather cargo assembled from a fortress. In a sense, it is similar to the large immigration ship built by the predators... In detail, the technical content may not be as good as the immigration ships of the predators. At least their large ships can sail.
, can jump, and can also conduct a great expedition of two million light years.
Of course, in order not to make this fortress look too green, the Bakvi people still spent a lot of money to install overall mirror armor and a fluid metal shell.
At least from the appearance point of view, the overall style of the fortress is finally not so green-skinned, and the external defense is indeed robust. Unfortunately, under the protection of thick and round fluid metal, the safety hazards in the main structure of the fortress have always been
It exists objectively.
Therefore, Yu Lian and his friends just planted a large amount of high explosives at the important junctions of the fortress. Once detonated, the fortress with a total mass of several trillions would be entered as quickly as possible.
Collapse state. However, before the main structure inside the fortress completely collapses, the balance and attachment gravity system will collapse first.
The fluid metal liquid wrapped outside the fortress will break away from the constraints of gravity and turn into metal waves, surging towards all the surrounding gravity sources. Immediately afterwards, the splashing fluid metal waves will quickly cool down in the low temperature of the starry sky.
, but the kinetic energy will not dissipate.
At that moment, every drop of the metal wave pushed and pulled out by gravity was a sharp shrapnel that was solidifying.
Of course, to achieve this step, all explosions require precise calculations.
Assure the spirit of the universe that Xiao Hui really didn't help this time. It was completely arranged by Yu Lian and executed by Essen French. After all, no one in the entire fleet knew greenskins better than him, nor did he
People understand this Cui Ling Fortress better than themselves. As the originator of the "Bulk Sky Fortress", the later generations of this thing in another timeline have inspired many fortress builders.
...Of course, we all know that the so-called "originator" basically means that the technology is unreliable.
In this way, when the menacing Lieutenant General Lenia Tanleyan led his fleet and prepared to bypass the Cuiling Fortress and give Yu Lian a sandwich of cheese between two buns from behind, the explosive device had already been prepared.
Then it exploded. A wave of several megatons of fluid metal broke free and rushed towards the nearby source of gravity, especially towards the passing Imperial fleet.
Of course, after all, this is just a replica of the Sky Castle, and it is dealing with a fleet that is moving at high speed. In any case, it cannot have the same effect as the "Fortress of Unity" in the New World.
Vice Admiral Talyan immediately discovered the high-energy reaction of Cuiling Fortress and ordered the entire fleet to immediately avoid and keep distance. As a result, only seven or eight unlucky ships were hit, and they were all thick-skinned and special.
Slow guard ships will not affect subsequent battles and cruises.
But even so, work such as avoiding, dodging, being shot, rescuing and regrouping still takes a lot of time.
In terms of the damage caused to the fleet, this is just a small episode. The damage is not even as harmful as daily navigation in some galaxies with bad weather conditions.
However, its actual strategic effect was even more explosive than Lieutenant General Biffick, who was in urgent need of reinforcements, imagined.
This high-speed assault fleet under his command, which is good at attacking but not at defending, has really become a pitiful and lonely army. Although it is only temporary, it is very likely to be fatal.
As they retreated step by step, two battle cruisers and more than ten battleships of various types had been sunk. Even Wang Hu, where he was, was hit by two orbital artillery shells.
"We can't go on like this. When the Tanleyan fleet regroups, we will collapse first. This time, we were caught by the enemy because of the time difference!" Lieutenant General Biffick said unwillingly.
"Is it possible to turn defense into offense?" the chief of staff asked.
"attack?"
"If we continue like this, we are likely to collapse after an hour of fighting. If we attack, we may not be able to hold on for half an hour, but we will definitely cause greater losses to the enemy," said the chief of staff.
To be able to serve as the chief of staff of this fleet, although his duties require him to be mature and prudent, he is actually very crazy at heart, sometimes even crazier than the commander.
Lieutenant General Biffick struggled briefly.
The fleet he commanded was the Empire's strike squadron affiliated with the Second Fleet of the Guards. It was nicknamed the "Nightmare Lancers" in commemoration of an ace cavalry regiment from the home planet era. As you can imagine, this was a fleet of
What kind of fleet they are, and what kind of fierce generals their commander is.
If it were in the past, even if they encountered a giant wall made of light and heat, Lieutenant General Biffick would lead his soldiers to crush it with a decisive and swift charge.
But now, the fierce general began to hesitate.
The Royal Rabbit was spinning in circles, the Natural Crest was still burning, the life and death of Admiral Hegober was unknown, the Cuiling Fortress was destroyed, and the Talyan fleet was intercepted, all made this resolute and brave man
The general became suspicious.
Earthlings, aren't there any more traps?
...I don’t know what happened to that guy Yeager, but he must not die.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lieutenant General Biffick finally made a decision: "Wang Hu, Black Rock Deer, Wolf King Monu and the third and fourth heavy cruiser detachments, start preparing to charge! Cover the retreat of the remaining battleships
.”
He was ready to use himself and the flagship to cut off the rear, and of course he was ready to sacrifice.
However, at this time, someone came to report that reinforcements had arrived. This time it was Admiral Misaro who personally led the fleet.
In fact, as early as two hours ago, when the Biffick fleet sent a report to the general flagship Shikishen, asking whether to continue advancing or withdraw, Marshal Ikenluojia had already noticed that something was wrong.
Needless to say, Admiral Hegober's offensive plan was ruined.
For a steady and down-to-earth veteran like the Marshal, the first thing to consider at this time is to stabilize the situation and not suffer any more losses.
So, his eyes passed through a group of imperial generals with different expressions, and finally stopped on the face of General Misaro, and ordered: "Go and assist Lieutenant General Biffick. Don't be too eager to fight."
Even if I want to love fighting, I must have this ability, right? I am not an expert in fleet command. Admiral Misaro took the order with a wry smile.
Facts have proved that although this general, who was an armored grenadier and a psionic fighter, was not professional in fleet command, his team was very professional. His fleet finally arrived on the battlefield before the situation completely deteriorated.
However, even after receiving reinforcements, Lieutenant General Biffick had no idea of counterattack.
"Maybe there is still a trap. We must be cautious and not attack immediately. We need to observe again." He said to Admiral Misaro.
"I had no intention of fighting back." Admiral Misaro said in a matter-of-fact tone: "We have fallen into traps three times today, and I don't want to be the fourth unlucky guy."
As one of the first three unlucky ones, Lieutenant General Biffick felt that his soul had been greatly damaged, and his face began to turn pale with anger. However, he still forced himself to calm down.
