Chapter 674 Opening of the Battle of Asti

 Knowing that I am just a member of the official observation team, why do you keep yelling at me?

Yu Lian rolled his eyes in his heart, but said: "Since he is an academic, he is naturally used to looking for tactics from war history."

"Yu Lianqing, don't forget, you are also an academic."

That’s weird! I’m a standard barbaric growth sect. If you add in my previous life’s experience, even if I attended the Lunar Military Academy, it would be more like attending an adult training class. Have you ever heard of people studying in a training class?

What about academics?

"All in all, the opponent's formation is very similar to the Battle of Daqa Star Territory during the Fifth Galactic War." As soon as Yu Lian said this, many people present had bad looks on their faces, but he treated it as something different.

Knowing, he continued to talk: "In that battle, the alliance gathered a total of 2,400 warships from 12 allies to fight against the 1,100 warships of the Imperial Guard's Second Fleet. From the comparison of military strength,

Said, it is very similar to this time. In this case, one side's strength has already taken advantage, and the difficulty is not winning or losing, but how to annihilate the other side."

Then, in that battle, the famous alliance general Marshal Emilys Berenkeist adopted this arrangement of dividing his troops into three groups, deliberately giving the Imperial Guard the illusion that they would be defeated individually, and attracting others to do so.

He went straight to the Chinese army that he personally led.

Marshal Emilys Belenkeist adopted flexible mobile defense tactics, allowing his side to absorb the imperial warships into the chaos like a sponge, creating a powerful opportunity for the other two groups to encircle and suppress them. The final victory

As a result of the battle, nearly 80% of the ships of the Second Fleet of the Imperial Guard were sunk, and the fleet commander, Admiral Pius, died in the battle.

This was almost the most tragic faux pas in a decisive battle since the founding of the empire, and Queen Magana, who was in power at the time, learned of the bad news at a military intelligence meeting in the Infinity Palace. In the presence of all the important ministers, she yelled out loud

Roaring "Plius, give me back my fleet!", then fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Speaking of which, Marshal Emilys Berenkeist, the famous Alliance general who led the predator fleet to a glorious victory, was also the direct ancestor of the white-haired fox.

This is a feud from generation to generation!

"So, the predators want to imitate the ancestors of the First Alliance and completely annihilate us?"

"Maybe I'd like to invite you to the Silver Center as a guest." Yu Lian shrugged: "Of course, if you really feel offended or provoked, then there is no doubt that this must be the other party's intention."

Brunhild looked at the star map, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Oh? In other words, if I kill them directly, I will fall into their trap?"

"At least judging from the current situation, the predators hope so." Yu Lian thought that he had already arrived, so he had to reluctantly perform the duties of the staff officer. He took a step forward and pointed at the three-dimensional star map with his fingers.

I hooked up a line: "What type of warships are the predators? Everyone knows that their warships pay more attention to protection and speed, as well as the crew on board. Rather than being a regular legion, I think it is more like a larger scale

A group of pirates."

Again, all actions of the plunderers are for the purpose of seeking wealth and survival, so the first goal of the battle is not to sink the enemy ships, but to board and plunder them. Their warships need firepower, but the firepower cannot be too high.

Fierce, if you accidentally sink your prey, it will definitely be very embarrassing.

"Since General Huitan is an academic, he should be very familiar with the standard tactics of the Alliance Navy. I dare not say anything else. At least their formation can be understood as an elastic turtle shell, which is really hard."

As soon as these words came out, except for those who still had some idol baggage, the rest of the officers laughed. Major General Misaro, who was more than two meters tall and had a strong man's hair, laughed especially happily.

It's normal. In the empire, the Black Alliance is politically correct. Compared with the imperial navy's war-mad style of attacking like fire and destroying the enemy at the first sight, the alliance is indeed better at preserving its own strength. The first priority in fighting a war is to be safe.

, anyway, the alliance's population, territory and economic strength are well-deserved to be number one in the galaxy. As long as they don't make mistakes, they can always drag the opponent to death.

"However, if we get entangled in this turtle shell, we may really be dragged into a chaotic battle. In this case, the enemy's squadron can completely cut off our retreat."

Brunhild nodded slightly and motioned for Yu Lian to continue speaking.

"Of course they can also gather the entire army into a cluster. However, as I said just now, the Predator warships themselves are not good at long-range firepower, and cannot fully utilize the three-dimensional depth of the battlefield. An overcrowded fleet queue,

It will also prevent them from taking advantage of the advantages of interleaving, collision and gang-hopping. Their strength is indeed more than twice ours. If they all pounce on us, they will win, but the losses and results will not be satisfactory. If the opponent's

Commander, as you said, he is an academic from the Alliance, so he should be able to do this kind of arithmetic problem."

Brünnhilt took a deep look at Yu Lian, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips: "Your Excellency, did you hear this too?"

"I heard it, excellent analysis." A voice sounded on the bridge, but it was Admiral Farrell: "Even the best staff officer can only do so."

Yu Lian thought about winning the prize, and I think what you said seems to be saying that your staff has already made the same analysis, and in a subtle way, I feel like you are trying to mislead others.

Now that the war is about to begin, according to the regulations of the Imperial Navy, Admiral Farrell, as the deputy commander of the fleet, naturally cannot continue to stay on the Angel of Dawn, but goes to the dreadnought ship Marshal Barrecas. If Dawn

If the Angel is lost and King Sulyuka can no longer perform his duties as commander-in-chief of the entire army, he will take over the command.

...Well, although most of the Imperial Army officers still feel that the young and beautiful Queen Sulyuka does not look like she is very good at fighting, she should just be a gold-plated mascot. From the beginning, the commander of the fleet was still France.

Admiral Riel.

At this time, I heard the general say: "So, Your Highness, you have also heard Colonel Yu Lian's opinion. Our situation should be clear, right?"

"I have been very aware of our situation from the beginning. General Farrell, you are not here to persuade me to retreat, are you?"

"At this point, those who retreat are either stupid, bad, or both. If it is the first offense, that's fine. But if there are still people who use this slander to destabilize the morale of our army, please engage in military law, Your Highness!" Admiral Farrell's words

The voice suddenly became more chilling.

Admiral Farrell is obviously just a "mortal", but his aura is stronger than many extraordinary beings who have experienced hundreds of battles. This is probably the bloody bravery and pride of the famous general.

Yu Lian had a similar feeling when he was with Father Paris. So, he clearly saw that among the senior officers on the bridge, there was clearly a commodore and two colonels. He trembled and saw that it was Fa Rui.

Among them, the colonel who is in his early thirties is acquainted with the subjects of "military law" by your admiral. He is Colonel Aitaka of the Fleet General Staff, an "enlightener" and a psyker with the third ring of "wisdom".

.

Yu Lian and he "ran into" each other several times in the officers' mess and leisure salon. Since they were both psychics, there was naturally something to talk about, so they sat down and drank a few drinks and chatted several times.

Tsk, so cowardly? It’s really a disgrace to psykers!

...What, you said that "wisdom" is a general psychic ability, basically people are engaged in research, and there is no "exploration" to play? So cowardice is the norm?

The white-furred fox opposite is also "intelligent"! I have never seen her become timid, and she has even downloaded a copy of the Void Realm.

At this time, I heard the admiral's voice soften: "However, now that we have understood the intentions of the enemy fleet, we must not let them lead us by the nose. In my opinion, the entire army will launch a full-scale attack within ten minutes!

Destroy the enemy fleet in front of you as quickly as possible!"

This time, there was a hint of astonishment on the faces of Giafel and others, but only Brynhilt showed an interesting expression: "Ten minutes is not even enough to hold a victory prayer ceremony.

!”

Yes, you have to pray for victory before starting a battle. This is a sacred and elegant ritual! No, look at the crew members who are building a brazier in the center of the bridge, and the one who is so tall and exquisite that he can be placed in a high-end

The "Queen" dolls sold as works of art in luxury stores include dozens of fake "artifacts" from the myths and stories of various civilizations. I feel that the scale of this ceremony, the aura, and the level of magnificence are comparable to the last battle at West End.

The previous one was much higher.

It is indeed the birthplace of the victory prayer ceremony! To be honest, Yu Lian is quite looking forward to this kind of ceremony.

"It's not necessary." Admiral Farrell said to everyone: "In the time for this prayer ceremony, our Fearless and your Angel of Dawn have already completed seven or eight rounds of main gun salvos. Besides, human beings can't travel across the galaxy.

It has a history of more than 3,000 years, but this victory ceremony only lasts for 1,100 years, so there is no reason why we must do it."

Probably because he felt that what he said was a bit subversive of common sense, he added: "Of course, the opponent is also a plunderer anyway, so there is no need to talk about battlefield honor."

"Your Highness..." The chief navigator, Lieutenant General Luo Ruian, probably wanted to persuade him. According to tradition, he will be the one to host this prayer ceremony. This is a great honor. Moreover, some veteran spirits

Those who are capable believe that this ritual can communicate with heaven and earth, communicate with the spirit of the universe, and benefit their own practice.

However, before he could speak, Brünnhilt said directly: "Very good, there is really no need to talk about justice in dealing with this kind of guy! Cancel the prayer ceremony and prepare for battle!"

Co-authored: The doll-burning ritual in my previous life no longer existed, it started with you! The case has been solved! Yu Lian thought.

Brunhildt said to the chief navigator who was hesitant to speak: "Well, General Lorien, I need you to help me predict the enemy!"

A trace of helplessness flashed across the lieutenant general's face, but he instantly switched to a solemn and awe-inspiring battle state: "Understood!"

The "cartographer" of the Five Rings has already moved to his position. Unlike other senior officers, his position is not a chair surrounded by terminal screens, but a circular platform with five steps.

, which is the second highest bridge height after Brünnhilt's command position.

It is located at the very front of the uppermost level of the bridge, facing the vast sea of ​​stars outside the huge window. Each step of the platform is patterned with simple patterns, and each floor is filled with bright and unique stones.

the space between.

As Lieutenant General Luo Ruian led the three psykers onto the platform, the warm spiritual light began to flow along the carvings like living water. The vast moisture seemed to be immersed in the stone slabs, and suddenly became hazy.

of water mist.

As a result, the painting style at the front of the bridge suddenly changed from science fiction to fantasy.

However, immediately after, the fantasy method was embodied in the science fiction method. Then the three-dimensional galaxy sandbox in the center of the bridge was moved to one side, and the large group of red that originally represented the location of the enemy fleet became clearer.

.The temperature changes around the battlefield, stellar force fields, and cosmic radiation are being fed back in more precise numbers on the prompt icons around the star map.

"The enemy's frontal fleet consists of 6 dreadnoughts, including 4 Spitfires and 2 motherships! 20 battlecruisers and 45 assault carriers." Lieutenant General Luo Ruian answered as he already ordered all the dreadnoughts.

The position is marked on the star map: "In other cases, we need to keep moving forward!"

"Approval for execution!" Brynhilt has already stepped into his command position: "The entire fleet, enter the second forward speed! Admiral Farrell, before bringing the enemy fleet into range, I want the fleet to change to 3

Formation number, can it be done?"

The communication from the Marshal Barrecas seemed to pause for a few seconds, but then it turned into a very sincere "Understood! Please feel free to worry!"

Although the communication came from kilometers away from the casualty, Yu Lian could feel a hint of relief in the other party's tone.

Admiral Farrell is almost the leading master of fleet operations in the Imperial Army, a fact that has been proven in the previous "Glory Mission". Brunhilt was of course very relieved, and she even calmly acted calmly.

He sat back in his chair and asked the orderly to order a glass of ice honey for himself, not forgetting to pour a glass for all the senior officers on the bridge.

If it were a male commander, this behavior might be a little frivolous. But now it is a bright and charming beauty. Everyone will only think that she is a lively, chic and fearless beauty. We cannot let these beauties see it.

When it was low, morale suddenly increased.

Of course, if Brunhild really grows up to be the world's most powerful and invincible military god in the future, no matter how unreasonable his actions may be, they will all be interpreted as the true nature of a famous general.

And now, Miss Suliuka Wang, who is still just a fledgling and is regarded as a mascot by everyone, continues to pay attention to the changes in the star map while shaking the ice honey wine in the crystal cup.

Perhaps in this timeline, she became the first battle of the military god at that time, and she will definitely be included in history textbooks in the future.

For some reason, Yu Lian never doubted that she would be swallowed up by the changing power of history just like he killed those future celebrities.

However, just when Yu Lian was caught up in his thoughts for a moment, Lieutenant General Luo Ruian's voice suddenly came from the bridge: "The enemy fleet has opened fire."

"The enemy fleet has opened fire!" He repeated it again in a louder voice, as if to confirm his judgment.

This range? Not to mention the others, even Yu Lian was surprised.

Vice Admiral Lorien can make such judgments before the radar detects the reaction of the enemy fleet. This is actually the space perception ability of the "exploring" star ring psykers. They can explore new channels in the vast universe and identify gravity.

It can detect the load-bearing limit and collapse frequency of the well, identify deadly cosmic radiation and other dangers, and of course, it can also sense the attack of the opponent's naval gun in advance.

Moreover, some psychic facilities on large battleships can further enhance capabilities in this area.

From Yu Lian's point of view, this is actually the same concept as predicting the opponent's attack when extraordinary beings fight each other, but it's just a little bigger and more macroscopic.

The really surprising thing is that it was the predators who actually fired first.
