Chapter 176: Attack and Defense of the Blue Galaxy

The Xuefeng and the Azure, which had evacuated from the alliance fleet, rested for a while in a safe position. When the strength of the small-scale energy shield supported by the Azure was restored to more than 9,000 points, the two warships entered the jump channel again.

Taking advantage of the time when the Azure evacuated the battlefield to restore the shield strength, Zhou Can confidently adjusted the fleet formation.

He even ordered the remaining thirteen special warships to shuttle freely within the fleet as long as they did not affect the fleet's operations, with the original intention of preventing the Xuefeng from finding them.

With this order to shuttle freely, the thirteen special warships completely let themselves go, causing Zhou Can to confirm their location through fleet communications.

But when Zhou Can found that the Xuefeng and the Azure entered the jump channel again, he knew that the other party must have caught the whereabouts of a special warship.

Sure enough, when the Xuefeng and the Azure left the jump channel again, a special warship just passed by them.

Like the first raid, the Xuefeng sank a special warship in less than twenty seconds.

Zhou Can also ordered the fleet to focus on the Xuefeng again, but this time the attack intensity and density were obviously not as high as the first time.

The defensive strength of the Azure's energy shield only dropped by more than a thousand points. With this little damage, the Azure only needed more than half a minute to completely repair the defensive strength of the energy shield by relying on its own recovery ability.

After learning the specific situation, Qi Yiming decisively gave up the plan to evacuate again, and instead asked the Wise to calculate the track of the next special warship.

The two warships attacked the surrounding warships frantically under the cover of the energy shield.

At the same time, Wang Shuhua, who took over the temporary command of the fleet, also found that Qi Yiming had changed his strategy, and immediately ordered the fleet to approach the enemy to provide fire cover for the Xuefeng and the Azure.

Zhou Can is worthy of being the most promising fleet commander of the Commercial Alliance. When he found that the Xuefeng could easily destroy the dozen special warships, he decisively gave up the electromagnetic suppression combat plan.

He no longer required more than a dozen special warships to launch electromagnetic suppression when the main guns of all warships in the fleet were charged to prevent the enemy from attacking friendly ships, but ordered them to leave the battlefield quickly.

Then he asked the Ninth Fleet and the other two fleets that were put together temporarily to launch a general attack on Qi Yiming's main fleet at the same time, completely leaving the Xuefeng and the Blue aside.

Zhou Can's direct attack caught Qi Yiming off guard.

Qi Yiming really didn't expect Zhou Can to be so decisive. Seeing that the special warships would be eaten by the Xuefeng sooner or later, he simply asked the remaining dozen special warships to withdraw from the battlefield, and then fought a positional war with Qi Yiming.

Of course, Qi Yiming was not afraid of a head-on decisive battle with the enemy. But not today, because the number of warships on both sides was too different.

Qi Yiming had no way to make up for the lack of quantity by the quality of the warships, so he had to follow Zhou Can's footsteps to change the battle plan.

In this way, Zhou Can took the initiative on the battlefield, and at this time he could attack however he wanted.

Zhou Can looked at the real-time battlefield dynamics displayed on the battlefield monitor and said to his adjutant with a smile: "I was thinking wrong. We have enough advantages. Even if we use the number of warships to crush the opponent, we can win. Why should we use electromagnetic suppression that hurts the enemy by 1,000 and hurts ourselves by 800 to restrict the opponent?"

The adjutant also understood at this time, nodded to Zhou Can and said: "Indeed, we are too concerned about the electronic suppression capability of Xuefeng. The so-called concern should be like this."

Zhou Can also nodded and continued: "I have never fought such a rich war in my life. Order each attack group to abandon the difference between the main attack and the feint attack. This time it is all the main attack. I only have one request, which is to defeat the enemy in the shortest time."

The adjutant repeated Zhou Can's order loudly, the communications director quickly recorded the order, and then quickly began to distribute instructions to each warship.

After the order was issued, the warships of the Commercial Alliance were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, and they frantically attacked Qi Yiming's fleet.

Even if the Xuefeng immediately turned on the electromagnetic suppression after returning to its own fleet, it could not stop the enemy's crazy attack.

Qi Yiming had no choice but to retreat again and move the fleet to the orbit of the first planet in the Lando galaxy to reorganize the array.

After discovering that Qi Yiming led the fleet to evacuate the defense line, Zhou Can did not order the fleet to pursue immediately.

After all, the formation of the attacking alliance was completely messed up this time. If Qi Yiming rashly pursued, he could order his fleet to entangle with the alliance's attack fleet and use the chaotic battlefield to offset the disadvantage of insufficient number of warships.

Zhou Can knew very well that if the fleets of both sides were caught in a melee, it would be disadvantageous for them to play the advantage of a large number of warships. The neatly lined-up impact and long-range artillery battle were the most advantageous combat methods for the alliance fleet.

But he never thought that the protection range of the Azure's energy shield could be adjusted.

When Qi Yiming reorganized the array and asked the Azure to expand the protection range of the energy shield to the maximum, the entire fleet arranged in a dense formation was completely protected by the huge energy shield generated by the Azure.

Although the maximum range of the Azure's energy shield defense strength was only 4,000 points, it was just enough to support a round of main gun salvos from the Alliance fleet.

This alone cost Zhou Can his life.

Don't forget that the Snow Peak can transmit energy to the Azure through the Redemption's special weapons.

That is to say, the Azure can not only provide sufficient energy for the shield generator, but the Snow Peak can also provide energy for the shield generator at the same time.

With the energy blessing of the two warships, the shield strength recovery speed of the Azure reached 600 points every ten seconds.

When the alliance fleet launched another attack, they suddenly found that they could not defeat the enemy's energy shield.

Although the light blue energy shield would flash a few times after each salvo of the fleet, it only flashed a few times and then stabilized again.

Qi Yiming commanded his warships to fight back in an orderly manner.

Each attack could sink hundreds of enemy warships.

Zhou Can, who had no better way to deal with it, could only bite the bullet and keep urging the warships to speed up the attack frequency.

But no matter how the alliance fleet attacked, the thin energy shield could not be defeated.

And as time went on, Zhou Can found that his losses were getting bigger and bigger.

Dozens of battlecruisers, which were the backbone of the enemy, had been sunk by the enemy.

Moreover, the few battleships in the fleet were attacked fiercely one after another, and some battleships had already lost their crews.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Can did not lose his mind. It was a wise choice to stop the loss in time.

He immediately ordered the three fleets to stop the attack, quickly gather the fleets and withdraw from the battlefield, and sent warships to ask for help from the Alliance Academy of Sciences, asking them what kind of weapons can quickly defeat the energy shield.

So far, the offensive and defensive battle of the Lando Galaxy has entered a stalemate stage, and neither side can do anything to the other in a short time.

Zhou Can didn't know if he could get the answer he wanted from the Academy of Sciences, but Qi Yiming had already found a way to break the deadlock when the Alliance Fleet retreated.

After arranging the defense task, Qi Yiming immediately contacted Wang Sen, who had not gone far, with a deep space communicator, and asked him to organize the transportation capacity to transport the drones produced by the Engineer to the front line of the Lando Galaxy in large quantities.

Qi Yiming's idea was very direct. Since you want to play the human wave tactics with me, then I will let you redefine what the human wave tactics are.
