Voyage of the Stars

The so-called plan in Yue Yuan's mouth was actually the tactics he formulated to fight the enemy.

Since the interstellar trading market already knows that the human fleet is controlled by strong artificial intelligence and is controlled by multi-threads, there are only two ways for them to win. One is to go head-to-head with numerical superiority, which has been gradually lost. The second is to go straight to the Huanglong strategy, go straight forward, kill the center of the human fleet, and kill the flagship of the human fleet.

But before that, Yue Yuan believed that they would not attack Huanglong directly as soon as the war started, but would conduct a period of fighting and observation first, with the natural purpose of finding out where the flagship of the human fleet was.

After the first battle and many years of small-scale battles in this starry sky, the two sides understood each other well. In this case, the center of the opponent's formation may not necessarily be the location of the flagship.

Therefore, if you want to find out the location of the flagship, you must first conduct a probing attack. Only in this way can you infer the location of the flagship from the reaction delays of each battleship.

And Yue Yuan's tactics are also simple. When engaging the enemy, the two fleets equipped with strong artificial intelligence, Donghai and Xihai, as well as the warships originally assigned to their command, are temporarily under the unified command of Tianqin and given to the interstellar trading market. One party created the illusion that its fleet only had the command center of the Lyra.

When they launched a surprise attack, they assigned part of the battleship command to Donghai and Xihai to catch the other side off guard.

The battle between the two sides is about to break out.

The first one to fire was still the laser energy cannon with the longest effective range and the fastest speed, and it still used the salvo method of a group of battleship formations.

Countless warships shot out invisible laser energy beams. When these beams intersected in the void, it also marked the beginning of the second large-scale battle between the two sides.

Obviously, one side of the interstellar trading market was very cautious this time. As expected, they did not launch a surprise attack from the beginning. Instead, they split the 12 million battleships into two and stuck them 20 to 30 light seconds away from both sides of the human spherical formation. Weave through and launch long-range shots at the human fleet from two directions at the same time.

This distance gives them enough reaction time. Even if the human fleet changes direction to chase one of the fleets, they can turn and accelerate to distance themselves, while the other fleet can bite the human fleet in another direction.

This tactic is very effective against fleets that cannot be divided, and can determine the approximate location of the opponent's flagship in a very short time.

As the battle progressed, both fleets began to suffer losses. On the fifteenth day of the battle, the losses on both sides were close to three digits.

During this period of time, the first fleet of mankind has shown an obvious combat method centered on the Lyan. It can be said that the position of the Lyan has been exposed.

But the interstellar trading market side was obviously very cautious. They still did not take any raids, but continued to fight in this way.

Yue Yuan was not in a hurry about this. Anyway, in long-distance battles, humans and warships undoubtedly had the absolute upper hand. Laser energy cannons are the absolute main force in long-range combat, and electromagnetic railguns equipped with ultra-micro nanorobots can hardly hit warships at such a distance. Even if they are lucky enough to hit the target, they can easily be used by warships that have long discovered the trajectory of the cannonball. All layers of close-in defense artillery were destroyed.

In fact, Yue Yuan knew what the other party was waiting for. He knew from the shining icon on the star map that had been in the field of view of the human detector that he was waiting for the three million warships coming to support him.

Before the fleet arrived, Yue Yuan believed that the other party would not launch a surprise attack.

The development of the matter was indeed similar to what he thought. Although the fleets of the two sides officially fought, for a long time in the future, the strategy of one side of the interstellar trading market was still mainly pulling.

Yue Yuan, who knew that the other party would not be easily fooled, was also very patient. Under his instructions, the Donghai and Xihai in the First Fleet were like two unmanned warships, accepting the command of Tianqin's strong artificial intelligence. .

The entire fleet seemed to be supported by a strong artificial intelligence, being pulled back and forth by the two squadrons on the side of the interstellar trading market in a coordinated manner, with no intention of splitting off the squadrons to pursue them separately.

One day later, the three million warships finally arrived on the battlefield and attacked the first human fleet from another direction.

At this time, the first human fleet was attacked on three sides.

But even so, the first human fleet still showed no intention of dividing the fleet to deal with the enemies in each direction. Instead, it just let the entire fleet shoot at the enemy fleet in one direction, and then changed directions. , shooting at the enemy fleet approaching from another direction, looking like he was being teased.

The interstellar trading market was also cautious enough. After the three million warships it supported arrived, they did not directly launch a surprise attack on the human flagship. Instead, they adopted a wandering division tactic. Each squadron quickly moved away from other fleets. It passed by the edge, shot for a while, then moved away, then made a big turn in space, and then waited for an opportunity, waiting for the own squadron to perform the same action on the human fleet from another direction, causing the human fleet to adjust its attitude and turn the muzzle. After that, do a second round of cutting strikes.

The three squadrons were like three flies darting in and out of a ball of dung, which was very annoying.

However, relying on their advantage in long-range combat, humans are not in a hurry and just waste their time with the opponent.

"Shuai Yue, it seems that the other party has no intention of being fooled. I think we might as well let the Donghai and Xihai attack directly. There will be a good opportunity in three hours." The second officer of the Tianqin was a little impatient and couldn't help but suggest road.

The opportunity he was talking about refers to the moment when the human fleet chases a squadron in a certain direction of the interstellar trading market, and then another squadron on one side of the interstellar trading market accelerates towards the human fleet from another direction.

If at this time, humans suddenly split the fleet into two, and then rushed forward, closing the distance to about 10 light seconds to attack the enemy squadron, they would definitely be able to get a head-on attack.

But Yue Yuan had no intention of agreeing.

Seeing this, the first officer spoke again: "Shuai Yue, if the opponent keeps using this tactic to fight us, we will not react. In the end, it will only end with both sides' fuel bottoming out. This area is close to the opponent. Second Planet Base, we can’t take advantage of supplies.”

"Hmm. Don't be impatient. What you said makes sense, but it's still early. Let's see first." This time Yue Yuan nodded in agreement, but still did not immediately divide the fleet into two or two. Three means.

The battle has just started, and it will still be a long time before the fuel is exhausted, so there is really no need to be too anxious. And even if the two sides have reached the bottom of their fuel in this way, it can be seen from the actions of the other side's fleet.

For example, a fleet will return for supplies, or all of them will return for supplies.

At most, they can just turn around and return home when the time comes. The First Fleet is not afraid of being surrounded and annihilated here. On the contrary, it might still be an opportunity at that time.

In short, in one sentence, humans are not in a hurry. They cannot defeat the second planetary base this time. Come back next time.

Under this thought, the first human fleet continued to cooperate with the three fleets in the interstellar trading market in the starry sky. The interstellar trading market was also cautious enough. Even though they knew the location of the human flagship, they spent almost a year with the human beings at a disadvantage in terms of battle loss ratio before they finally couldn't help but make tactical changes.

They are indeed determining whether the human fleet only has one strong artificial intelligence.

Because before this time came, another of their fleets fought on another battlefield with the human fleet staying on the thirteenth planet, and the human fleet showed no signs of the existence of a second strong artificial intelligence.

It wasn't until the remaining human fleet changed their tactics and divided the large fleet into three that were commanded by the Hanhai, Deepsea, and Beihai fleets. Only after this news reached here, did they make a tactical change.

Perhaps, they thought that multiple strong artificial intelligences of mankind had appeared in another battlefield, and then they determined that there was only the Tianqin flagship equipped with strong artificial intelligence.

However, what they didn't expect was that humans had been waiting for a year for them to raid the Lyra.

Ever since, the first human fleet saw the three squadrons on the interstellar trading market pulling away from each other almost at the same time, then making a turn in the starry sky, and then fully pushing the fleet towards it from three different directions. The first human fleet came at the same time.
