Chapter 590 Guerrilla Warfare
The situation on the battlefield developed very quickly. After the violent attack of the Future, the enemy flagship was completely paralyzed and lost its ability to resist.
The sky-high flames and massive electromagnetic pulses prevented the new humans from rashly using too sophisticated observation instruments, but a small cheer had already erupted in the captain's room. From a distance of millions of kilometers, it seems that the wails of these alien mantises can be heard.
Yu Yifeng clenched his fist fiercely.
"There are still some drones left!"
"...Be careful of the D7 area on the flanks!"
The military channel was busy and orderly, with orders from various senior officers coming and going. The current overwhelming war situation has also made the morale of grassroots soldiers high.
At the same time, the observatory continued to receive threats and insults from the Antek civilization. The other party wants to find out who is this civilization that attacked them...
Well, it’s better to talk than to do it, and the new humans are too lazy to reply. It doesn’t matter what the Antek civilization thinks.
Silence is golden. If any important information is exposed, it will be very troublesome for the other party to directly massacre lizards in large numbers or use lizards as hostages...
However, the thought of the large group of aboriginal lizards kidnapped also gave people a slight reminder.
According to technological analysis some time ago, during the Nix era, the warp speeds of the spacecraft that fought with people could reach 3.2 times the speed of light, and it would take 68 days to get here...
Subtracting the 11 days that have passed, that is to say, people still have 57 days to resolve this war.
If those spaceships arrived with news and let the other party know that the new humans were the "enlighteners" that the lizards longed for, then things would be bad, and a large number of abducted indigenous lizard people might be in danger.
After all, the lizards have an inexplicable connection with the Enlightened Ones.
Although, even if all these indigenous lizards are slaughtered, it will not affect the safety of the Future Ship. But from a grand strategic perspective, if such a thing really happens, it will definitely be unsuccessful.
"Captain, they're here! There's still 1 light minute from here... no, 48 light seconds!"
In just a short time, the support troops of the Antaike civilization had arrived from a distance, and ultra-long-range attacks had been summoned to the vicinity of the Future.
The Future's ion shield kept lighting up, which was a sign of being hit by a laser or ion cannon.
"We are approaching the danger zone!"
Looking at the two danger alerts that lit up on the screen, Yu Yifeng frowned. If they were given another minute or two, they could completely blow up the flagship.
Not enough. There is no if in the world...
"Pity."
"Retreat, let's retreat first!" Although he was a little reluctant, he still issued the emergency retreat order without hesitation and did not try to expand the victory.
There are too many enemy spacecraft in this batch. Even if the Future has good performance, it may not be able to take advantage if it really fights hand-to-hand with a large number of spaceships.
"This decision is very reasonable. There are still so many enemies. It is definitely not cost-effective for us to blindly consume them." Xu Yunjin, who was standing in the captain's room, also nodded and said.
Obviously, he did not feel uncomfortable because the flagship was not destroyed.
"From a tactical point of view, the flagship of the Antaike civilization is paralyzed here and has basically been scrapped. Oh, there are still a large number of people alive and waiting for rescue. Even if they are allowed to survive with some people, it will not be beneficial to the entire war situation. Will have any impact...even cause a lot of burden!"
"This also brings up a big problem. Should the other party rescue these people, or not? We can just stare at the ruins of the spaceship and wait and see!" Xu Yunjin touched his chin and said with a smile.
Focusing on this nearly paralyzed flagship, the expert team even came up with an inhumane strategy, which they called: "surrounding the corpse to provide reinforcements."
During Earth's World War II, the tactic of "surrounding the corpses and attacking with reinforcements" was quite common. Crafty snipers will often wound an enemy soldier without killing him outright. At this time, if anyone wants to rescue this wounded person, they have to risk being sniped!
The current situation is similar. With such a large flagship and a population still alive, it has certain rescue value. But rescue is not easy, nor can it be completed in a few minutes.
As long as a spacecraft attempts to rescue, it will risk being attacked by the Future!
"So, are you going to save him or not?" Yu Yifeng was vaguely looking forward to the other party's choice. Obviously, the rescue time cannot be delayed indefinitely. If the opponent's antimatter storage warehouse is leaked, the entire spacecraft will inevitably be destroyed. It is not as simple as being blown up.
War itself is cruel, with the pursuit of killing the other party as the first goal. If it is a war within a civilization, there will be some reservations due to factors such as humanity. But between civilizations, where can we control so much?
Even if it was a group of lizard puppet soldiers who were killed, it could only be said that it was because of their different stances, not the New Humans.
While discussing the tactic of "surrounding the corpse for reinforcements", the Future began to retreat rapidly. At the same time, some gun ports were focused on the flagship from a distance. There are still a large number of drones fighting there...
Next, "Future" tried to rely on its own mobility to fight a guerrilla war.
That’s right, guerrilla warfare!
In order to expand the patrol area, the Antek civilization distributed the spacecraft within an area of 20 astronomical units.
20 AU is about the distance from the sun to Neptune, and the actual distribution is quite sparse.
Because of the limitation of the speed of light, there are still a large number of lone enemy teams scattered around, and they did not observe this war.
In other words, the new humans can use the performance advantage of the "Future" spacecraft to crush it one-on-one.
The Future can even bully the flagship of the opponent, not to mention other spacecraft with slightly worse performance.
"That's it, this level 1 threat target, give priority to elimination!" Yu Yifeng excitedly pointed to the nearest spacecraft on the screen and ordered.
"Rush at full speed within the observable speed!"
A large number of enemy pursuit spacecraft also discovered the intention of the Future and hurriedly chased after it. All spacecraft began to use the curvature engine, accelerating madly, trying to compete in maneuverability.
Bright heat beams kept passing by the spacecraft. Usually lasers are colorless, and these colored ones must be ion cannons or their variants.
But soon, these pursuing spacecraft were left far behind.
The spacecraft of the Antech civilization can only run in a straight line with conventional curvature navigation. If it wants to turn, it must stop and readjust the direction. However, the Future can run in an arc with the help of the dark matter deflection shield. In this way, it can get rid of the opponent with just a slight turn.
Moreover, once the speed of curvature navigation is fast, even at sub-light speed, there is no way to observe the outside world. This is also a competition of algorithms and computer performance.
Six minutes later, people finally approached this line of lone spacecraft.
The largest one is about 28 kilometers long. They have observed the battle between the Future and the flagship, and are accelerating with the curvature engine to try to rescue the paralyzed flagship.
Because of the sub-light speed navigation, the redshift and blueshift of objects are extremely large. Everything looks like it has been pulled into the shape of noodles, and the picture on the entire screen is like drifting. If it is not processed by a computer, you can't see what is in front of you at all.
"Closer!"
"Closer!"
As the two spaceships approached, Yu Yifeng's heart beat faster and faster. This was simply too exciting...
The people around him were all livid and silent.
The two spaceships were moving towards each other, and the risk was extremely huge. If a collision really occurred, even the Future might not be able to survive!
But there was no other way. Only by getting closer could they cause greater damage.
