90. The End of the War (3)

On January 31, 1584 in the cosmic calendar, the Middle Route Army commanded by Ouyang Tielong and the Tianhu Tiehai Department commanded by Tianhu Tiehai met in the 98th Star Field. This is the battlefield chosen by both sides by default, in this star field, there are hardly any stars and stars, there are no special stars within a radius of thousands of light years, it can be said that the emptiness is abnormal, and such a star field is also the most suitable battlefield as a large army.

The meeting of the two armies was at 11:23:58 p.m. on the same day. The beginning of this battle was unusually ordinary, although the Yanhuang clan had many attack methods, but they adopted the most common combat method: the main artillery salvo. The many warships of the 2173rd Front Army Group, which served as the vanguard, concentrated their firepower and fired the first shot, firing the first shot of what was later named the Tiger Extermination Campaign.

Although the battlefield was huge, the troops invested by both sides at the beginning were not too much, so as not to be unable to exert them, so they slowly added troops to the battlefield. From one front army group at the beginning of the battle, it slowly increased its troops to ten front army groups, and then to hundreds of front army groups. This is not a tactic to add fuel to, because the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not much different, and with the same number of troops, the Yanhuang clan has a slight advantage in equipment, but it is an insignificant advantage, and it has no strategic significance.

In the face of such an ordinary start, see the artillery fire on the battlefield. Tianhu Iron Wing asked a little strangely: "The Yanhuang Clan has two thousand special warships, and the strength of these special warships is strong, why don't they use them on the battlefield?" "That's because they are still counting on their left and right armies to come up and concentrate all their main forces to fight a decisive battle with us. This Zhou Tiehu wouldn't be so stupid? Knowing that Lu Dao himself had a huge number of troops, would he not know how to use it? Our army no longer has any reinforcements to count on. But he still has plenty of reinforcements to rely on. It's not about fighting with our army to lose both. It is better to wait for reinforcements to come up and then concentrate superior forces to eat our army, so that their casualties will be much less. Tianhu Tiehai saw through Zhou Tiehu's plan at a glance.

It's just that after seeing through it, Ouyang Tielong fought unhurriedly, and the Heavenly Tiger Army was going to advance, so he commanded the army to retreat slowly. Anyway, there weren't too many troops he sent to the battlefield, but the two thousand Zerg Mother Emperor's troops were untouched. It's just that the forward troops are desperate. If the Heavenly Tiger Army wants to attack faster and defeat the Middle Route Army before the left and right armies of the Yanhuang Clan come up to support, Ouyang Tielong will not give them a chance. And when the battle began, there was basically no possibility for the Tianhu Army to get rid of the entanglement of the Middle Route Army and retreat.

Tianluo Zhong frowned and said, "Your Excellency, if we can't quickly defeat the main force of the enemy army in front of us, then our army will not have any possibility of victory. Their armies on the left and right were only five days' journey from us, and we only had five days. ”

Tianhu Tiehai shook his head: "Our army has little hope of winning, this is a predestined thing for a long time, faithful, speaking of this." You might as well see as far as I do, don't take the time of five days too seriously. Because, this time doesn't mean anything. Tianluo was faithful, but he didn't know: "Your Excellency, what does this mean?" "It doesn't mean much, it's just a reminder. ”

"War is really the devil, and once it starts, it is not under our control. Ouyang Tielong sighed and said, "Mobilize the 2245th, 2269th, 2758th and other three military groups to intercept from the east, don't let them come." Transferring ten more front army groups to the frontal battlefield, these guys, they really want to win this battle, it's really naïve. "In the face of the continuous increase in troops of the Heavenly Tiger Army, it is difficult for Ouyang Tielong not to increase his troops, so he can only transfer his own troops up.

To tell the truth, such a battle between the two sides was very lively, but it was only lively, because, due to the limited power of the main guns of both sides, it was not easy to break through the defensive force field cover of the opposing battleship. Except for the elite division of the Yanhuang clan and the battleships of the main division, the other battleships did not have a final cannon, so the firepower of the main gun bombarded the battleship, which only caused a shaking of the force field cover, so that the strength of the force field cover was reduced, and that's it, as for the others, it did not have much effect. If you want to break through the force field cover, it is not something that can be done by three or a few cannons, and it is impossible to hit one or two hundred cannons, so it is not easy to die in such a big battle.

Faced with such a situation, Ouyang Tielong smiled, smiling very happily, in fact, this was also within their consideration, even if the army of the Yanhuang clan did not fight back, but just opened the force field cover here and let the Tianhu army attack, it was not easy for the Tianhu army to destroy the Yanhuang army, not to mention the artillery of the two sides. Therefore, it has been five hours since the start of the battle, but there are not many warships sunk by the two sides, the warships lost on the Yanhuang Clan's side are only tens of thousands, and the Tianhu Army's side is less than 100,000, which can be regarded as a draw.

This is the problem of space warfare, a result of being limited by the power of the main guns of both sides. The reason why the Yanhuang clan was able to repeatedly defeat the Tianhu Army on the battlefield, defeat the Tianhu Army, and sink a lot of warships is that they have powerful weapons that can sink the battleship with one blow, this is the most critical place, if there is no such ability, just rely on the main guns on the battleship to bombard, that is, I am afraid that I can't sink many warships for a year.

The two sides exchanged artillery, and the time passed minute by minute. Fighting such a battle is extremely dull. A battleship, as long as it is not sunk on the spot, will retreat back when the force field cover is reduced to a certain level, retreat to a position that the enemy cannot attack, and wait for the force field cover to recover before fighting. If the force field cover is not broken, the battleship will naturally not be able to sink, of course, the damage to the hull is a small problem, and if it is repaired, it will have to wait until there is a life after the war to repair it.

Whenever a fleet is attacked by too much firepower, the commander of the rear will transfer the troops on the front line, and the battleships in the rear will be transferred forward for a while, and everyone will take turns to go into battle, so that there will naturally not be many battleships sunk.

Fighting, such a way of playing. It can be said that it is more lively and not cruel enough. Therefore. An hour has passed, a day has passed, and the forces put into the battlefield on both sides are less than thirty front army groups, not that the Tianhu Army does not want to invest more troops, but the Yanhuang clan will not accept the recruitment at all, once you increase the number of troops too much, the fleet of the Yanhuang clan will retreat and open up the distance. So. Such a battle can only be regarded as a farce.

After all, Ouyang Tielong and the others said first: "We have two armies on the left and right that can provide support, so we only need to drag their main forces so that they can't escape, so we can concentrate the main army to annihilate them." "Therefore. The Yanhuang clan is not so depressed yet, but there are also a lot of bright-eyed people on the side of the Tianhu Army. They all knew that their only hope for victory was to defeat the main force of the enemy army in front of them first, and then attack the enemy's left and right armies on the left and right, only in this way would they have a chance to win. But now that the war is like this, and time is being wasted every minute and second, how much time do they have to waste?

The Heavenly Tiger Iron Wing also didn't understand the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea's plans, and asked, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, why are we wasting time here with them? We don't have much time to waste. Tianhu Tiehai smiled bitterly: "You don't think that the Yanhuang Clan will really give us five days. Everyone was stunned, these five days were accurately calculated by them, calculated at the speed of the Yanhuang clan's fleet, and the five days were only more than less.

Tianhu Tiehai sighed leisurely and said: "You have fought with the Yanhuang clan for so many years, you are still so naïve, what kind of race is the Yanhuang clan? Do they only rely on their regular fleet to support the middle route army? If it was before, it is not wrong to think like this, but now it is different, they can give up the regular fleet and not call it, and then just transfer those special warships over, as long as we add 1,000 special warships within two to three days, we will not be able to eat and leave." ”

Everyone realized, yes, the forward speed of the conventional fleet will be greatly limited, but those special warships are not very limited by this forward speed, and the regular fleet will only be able to complete the distance in five days, and they are afraid that they will be able to complete it in two to three days. Once the Heavenly Tiger Army is fully pressed and the middle route army of the Yanhuang clan is inseparable, a thousand special warships suddenly enter the battlefield, and the consequences are not to be known.

Tianhu Tiehai smiled bitterly and said: "So, this time I have no intention of fighting with them at all, I just want to delay time, and in two days, we will lead the army to retreat, so that their plan to encircle the two armies will fail, and we will choose another battlefield to fight with them, so that they will flee while fighting, and drag their main force here, it will be as long as it can be delayed, and it is impossible to win." ”

The generals can be regarded as understanding, but this delay is not a good strategy, and it will not have a decisive impact on the battle situation, but some of them are smart enough to understand that the Heavenly Tiger Iron Sea is to buy more time for the Heavenly Tiger Empire to evacuate the Yanhe Yellow River system.

The royal family of the Heavenly Tiger Empire had already wanted to retreat from the Yanhe Yellow River system early in the morning, but because of the change in the battle situation, because the Yanhuang clan had been constantly transferring troops for hundreds of years, giving the Heavenly Tiger Empire an illusion that the Heavenly Tiger Empire thought that the Yanhuang clan was tight on another battlefield, so there was no more energy to pay attention to the team of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, therefore, they did not evacuate immediately, and after hundreds of years, although they were basically ready to evacuate, they had not yet made the trip. However, this time, the Yanhuang clan is not moving, and every move is a war on the premise of destroying the Tianhu Empire, which makes the royal family of the Tianhu Empire have to evacuate, but it also takes time to evacuate, so the idea of Tianhu Tiehai is that they delay time here, so that more troops and people loyal to the royal family can evacuate the Yanhe River system.

In other words, they are here to give the royal family and others time to evacuate, and saying this will naturally affect the morale of the army very much, so Tianhu Tiehai has never said it, and now, it is not a big deal to say it, even if the generals know the way, but their families believe that they have also joined the ranks of evacuation, so for the safety of their own families, they have to stay here and fight hard.
