“Weiwuxing? Is there an image of this planet?” Sally asked with a frown.

Liu Bin first recalled an image of the planet from the computer, and then said according to the information displayed on the computer: “Because our country has no trade relationship with the Li family, there is no detailed information on the planet of the Li family, and this planet was still photographed with a remote camera. of.”

“Well, I can see it.” Sally nodded. The image was so blurry that it was obvious that it was taken remotely. Looking at the planet, Sally suddenly exclaimed, “Why does this planet have no atmosphere?” Hearing Sally’s words, Liu Bin and others also carefully observed the image. What atmosphere exists, the blurry layer on the image is like the afterimage of a planet.

“Are there any moving images? Let’s have a look at the broadcast.” Sally said.

“Yes.” After Liu Bin tapped the computer, the originally stationary planet began to rotate slowly.

After watching for a while, Sally stood up with a sigh and said, “Hey, I really don’t know what our intelligence officers did. Didn’t they find that the climate and temperature of this planet did not change when they secretly photographed it? Where is this ordinary planet? , this Wei Wuxing is the star fortress of the Li family!”

“Planet fortress?!” Liu Bin and the others cried out in surprise, and Weiss murmured, “Impossible? There are only a few planets in the Li family, so it is possible to transform a planet into a planetary fortress?”

“It’s not difficult to convert a planet into a fortress, and the Li family has been entrenched in that star field for hundreds of years, so it’s not a big deal to have one or two fortresses.” Sally said this and ordered: “Notify the news to the front. Pursue the troops, if the enemy enters the fortress first, let them stop outside the attack range of the fortress, and risk attacking is strictly prohibited!”

“Yes!” Of course Liu Bin and the others knew how much risk a warship would take to attack a fortress. Without a dedicated fortress attack ship, it would be impossible for an ordinary warship to take down a fortress with a super-thick defense and super-powerful firepower.

“What? There is a planetary fortress in the direction of the enemy’s advance?!” Tang Long’s eyes widened when he heard the news. No wonder he was so surprised, because he had never heard of which force in the Wuchaan Galaxy had such a planetary fortress. thing.

Planet fortress? Liu Sihao and the others all showed grim expressions when they heard this. Generally speaking, few people attacked the fortress hard. Unless the fortress blocked the way forward, they would surround the fortress and wait for the planet to which the fortress belonged to be occupied. Later came to persuade him to surrender. The reason for this is because the attack and defense of the fortress is too powerful. A reorganized fleet with tens of thousands of troops, as long as it stays within the range of the fortress and sweeps the main guns of the fortress, the fleet will be finished. . Even if you have a fortress attack ship, without a large number of troops to attract the firepower of the fortress, you can only sacrifice in vain. According to Tang Long’s current strength, he couldn’t bear such a sacrifice at all. It seemed that he could only watch the enemy hide in the fortress.

With this understanding, Liu Sihao looked at Tang Long quietly. He hoped to see Tang Long’s helpless look, but he was disappointed because Tang Long’s eyes were shining brightly and he shouted: “Order the whole army, I, Tang Long. Here! Order the entire army to pursue the enemy with all their strength, as long as the enemy is wiped out before they enter the fortress range, it will be our victory!”

When this order was spread, the reserve officers were surprised to find that their supreme commander was actually on this battlefield, and he was fighting side by side at the forefront. So cheers immediately sounded from all the battleships. Although they had no command, they were still ready to show their abilities well in order to impress the Supreme Commander. Those robots may also feel their feelings. Without their suggestion, the robot captain ordered to execute Tang Long’s order and chase them at full speed!

When the three of Liu Bin on the Sari boat heard Tang Long’s self-reporting identity, they looked at each other with the same expressions in their eyes. Sally heard Tang Long’s words and knew that the command of these battleships would automatically return to Tang Long’s hands after Tang Long revealed her identity. Sally felt that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, so she said to Liu Bin and the others: “The battleship’s The command will be handed over to you, and obey the command of the lord.” After she finished speaking, she left the command tower, and she had to dispatch troops. You must know that the six planets that occupy the Li family, especially one of them, is a fortress star. , these battleships alone will not do.

“Yes!” The three of Liu Bin saluted Sally excitedly. They didn’t expect that they would be able to re-command the battleship so soon. Although only one battleship can be commanded this time, this is directly under the command of the Supreme Commander, and maybe the partners of other battleships have not yet obtained such an opportunity as themselves, and are still serving as temporary staff. They all secretly made up their minds to show themselves well and let the Supreme Commander understand that they are very good commanders.

The soldiers of the Li family were told that there was a super safe fort on their side not far ahead. As long as they entered the shooting range of the fort, they would not be chased and beaten like being chased by a dog, and they could rely 100% on the fort. The strength gives a good look to the bastards who are chasing after him. So they all drive the engine to the limit without thinking about what the engine can afford. The people of the Li family have only one thought now, to enter the fortress and give a good look to the pursuers behind.

The soldiers of the Datang Army, of course, knew very well that as long as the enemy entered the protection range of the fort, they would have nothing to do. To make this battle even more glorious, be sure to take them out before they get into firing range of the fortress! Therefore, they all chased after them with a breath of air, and kept shooting.

Those reserve officers who only have command ability know that there is nothing they can help at this time, so they can only stay at the command tower and watch the chase. Seeing that the enemy didn’t even have a counterattack now, they were completely chased and beaten by themselves, so they yelled at the enemy for being daring bandits while talking to their partners from other warships. Whenever a trailing enemy ship was destroyed, they shouted excitedly, and jumped up and down on the battleship to clap their hands to celebrate. No matter how good their abilities are, they are still only teenagers, and their ability to control their minds is still very tender.

So a tense chase was staged in this star field. The three hundred warships in front ran desperately, and the four or five hundred warships in the back chased desperately. One side can only concentrate the protective cover at the rear, hoping to block the artillery fire coming from behind.

Li Jialao has no time to care about how much his troops will be killed like this. He has only one thought: “As long as he hides in the fortress, he will be safe.” Not only did he have this idea, his subordinates, his soldiers , that is, all the people in the Li Family Fleet have this idea.

I don’t know how long it took, Li Jialao’s radar soldiers suddenly cheered: “I see, there is Wei Wuxing in front!” Without waiting for Li Jialao’s consent, he expanded the image of Wei Wuxing and displayed it on the main screen. , and also transmitted this image to all friendly warships.

Hearing the voice of the radar soldiers, everyone turned their eyes to the screen, and a planet like an ordinary planet was reflected in front of them. Seeing this life-saving straw, all the Li family soldiers were excited, the whole battleship made a roaring sound, and the speed unexpectedly accelerated. Among them, the most excited were the members of the battleship who were attacked by the artillery fire at the last moment of the Li family.

“Have you calculated the range of the main artillery of the fortress ahead?” Tang Long asked the radar soldier anxiously. When he knew that the other party was about to enter the fort, he ordered his subordinates to calculate the range of the main artillery of the fortress, because if it entered the fortress’s main artillery range If you don’t know it later, it’s just death.

“Report, lord, due to insufficient data, it is impossible to calculate the range of the main artillery of the enemy fortress.” The radar soldier said in a somewhat eager tone.

“Insufficient data?!” Tang Long was surprised. The databases in these battleships were entered by Mrs. Tang Xing, and they could not be found in them, indicating that few people should know the data of the fortress star of the Li family, otherwise it would be impossible to escape. The terrifying collection ability of the old lady.

As he got closer and closer to that planet, Tang Long became more and more anxious. Now that he didn’t know the firing range of the opponent’s fortress cannon, he was terrified to catch up. The helpless Tang Long only ordered the ships to start intercepting the communications of the Li family battleship to see if they could pass on the information of the fortress star at this time. I can only hope that the other party will be so idiot that they did not enter the information of the fortress star into all the battleship computers. If all the battleship computers have the information of the fortress star, I am afraid that these people will stop their pursuit immediately.

At this time, I don’t know if the people of the Li family are very happy and sad or something. Anyway, because the pilots of several battleships also joined the ranks of jumping and screaming because of the excitement of seeing the fortress star, let the battleships jump. The speed slowed down and was destroyed by the Tang artillery fire. The explosion of these battleships made the soldiers of the Li family suddenly realize that they had not yet entered the range protection range of the fortress!

Thinking of this, the pilots who were checking the information and preparing to confirm the range were immediately frightened, because there was no information about the fortress on their battleship, and they didn’t know where the protection range of the fortress was. material. Because the plan to come to Fortress Star was decided on an ad hoc basis, only Li Jialao had the information on Fortress Star, and the information on Fortress Star was also entered into the flagship when Li Jialao changed his orientation. As for the other warships why not? Who told that the flagship’s correspondent was too nervous and forgot to pass it on, and the other warships only remembered to ask for information at this time, but they forgot to be chased too closely.

The flagship’s correspondent was taken aback when he received the request from other warships. Afraid that these people would make trouble and expose their crimes of dereliction of duty, they hurriedly released the information on the effective range of the main guns of the fortress star with clear codes. In his opinion, those partners only need to know where the safe zone is, saving them from sending them a lot of information and wasting time looking for the safe zone.

This clear-coded message has been released three times in a row, not to mention Tang Long’s Beluga battleship, even a tattered civilian spaceship can intercept this message. After getting what he wanted, the anxious Tang Long and the officers and soldiers of the Li family showed smiling faces.

Soon, it was displayed on the screen that the Li family battleship was about to enter the effective range of the main guns of the fortress star, Tang Long immediately shouted in a hurry: “They haven’t entered the range protection range of the fortress, kill them for me!” Tang Long’s order was issued, and all the warships not only fired laser beams continuously, but also fired a salvo of missiles. Although the speed of the missile is not as fast as the laser beam, it is faster than the speed of the warship, and as long as the missile is not destroyed or the energy is not used up, the missile will keep chasing the target set before the launch.

Everyone on the Li family’s old flagship in the front row held their breath, nervously looking at the red line on the screen that showed the fortress range protection range. When their spaceship entered the red line area, they all boiled and shouted desperately. But the only one who was not happy, Li Jialao, not only stood up with an ugly face, but also shouted in a hurry: “What are you happy about? We’re not really safe yet, let me hurry into the fortress!” This is what Li Jialao said. The words proved that there were several Li family battleships that exploded behind.

After Li Jialao’s flagship entered the range protection range of the fortress, other warships also entered the range protection range of the fortress. The captains of these battleships were not as worried as Li Jialao, but cheered with their subordinates. At this time, the tracking missiles fired by Tang Long’s battleship just now slammed into the target, and several of the battleships in the back were immediately blown up. This explosion followed Li Jialao’s words and spread throughout the entire Li Family Fleet, immediately causing the Li Family Fleet to rush towards the bird’s nest of Weiwuxing like a bird in shock.

“Damn!” Tang Long slapped his palm with his fist fiercely. Although he was so arrogant that he didn’t know how high the sky was, he wouldn’t be so idiotic that he would let his subordinates rush into the fort’s range. So he ordered angrily: “Stop the whole army and shoot as much as you want!” Since he couldn’t stop the Li family’s remaining troops from entering the fortress, it would be better to shoot indiscriminately, so that there may be hope of killing a few enemy ships to relieve their anger.

So hundreds of Datang battleships gathered outside the effective range of the fortress and opened fire on the Li family battleships who were desperately running towards the fortress. Countless laser beams and missiles were sprayed out like a shower. Of course, beautiful is beautiful, but the effect is not ideal. This round of shooting did not kill any enemy ships. Tang Long was so angry that he scolded his mother.

As he got closer to the fortress, the old adjutant of the Li family became more and more suspicious, because the fortress didn’t respond to the battle situation here at all and remained there quietly. He couldn’t help but speak to the radar operator: “Ask what happened to the fortress, why don’t you cover us? Where is the garrisoned fleet at the fortress?”

After hesitating for a while, the communications soldier looked at Li Jialao who closed his eyes and said nothing, and then whispered in the adjutant’s ear: “Sir, the garrison fleet in the fortress is among us, and now the fortress is not enough to activate the laser cannon. what.”

The adjutant’s cold sweat immediately flowed down, and he whispered with a trembling voice: “Don’t spread this news.” The signal soldier nodded, he was not a fool, if the enemy on the fortress cordon knew about this news, they would be Absolutely finished.

The adjutant returned to Li Jialao, glanced at Li Jialao secretly, and sighed inwardly. As the lord’s adjutant, that is, the most trusted person, he didn’t know that the lord had dispatched the garrisoned fleet and artillery personnel in the fortress into the sequence of this expedition. Oh, why would your lord do this? Could it be that this fortress can be arbitrarily recruited in his territory, and that this fortress is located in the inner area of the Li family, so there is no need to leave defensive troops? I hope the enemy will not realize that there are not enough defenders in this fortress.

Thinking of these, the adjutant couldn’t help but think of the history of the fortress: Weiwu Fortress was originally the planet where the Li family started. At that time, the Wuchaan Galaxy was almost a planet and a force, and some even had several forces on a planet. At that time, the Li family, who had just started home, had no chance of attacking others, so they focused on defense and started the project of transforming this planet.

With the passage of time, the Li family has slowly risen, and the biggest guarantee for the rise of the Li family is that his capital will not be captured at all. In view of this, the transformation of Wei Wuxing has been greatly strengthened. However, when Wei Wuxing was transformed into a planetary fortress, the Li family, who had obtained 6 planets, suddenly discovered that the scope of the forces of the Wuchao Galaxy had been determined, and they could not continue to expand. They turned their attention to developing the economy. Of course, the Li family cannot avoid this trend. However, at this moment of economic development, Wei Wuxing, which was covered with a layer of armed metal shell, was no longer suitable for being the capital, and it was even less suitable for developing the economy, so the capital was moved.

And the war after the capital was moved, because it was a decisive battle outside the country, and the defense capability of Weiwuxing was not used at all. It can be said that the value of Weiwuxing has been completely lost. So this planet that has no strategic and tactical value, let alone economic value, is almost forgotten. In addition to storing a certain amount of energy and ammunition, the entire Weiwuxing has only 200 garrisoned warships and tens of thousands of maintenance Weiwuxing for daily operation. Veterans over the age of 40 or 50 are no longer suitable for boarding battles. So far, this Wei Wuxing, which has been transformed into a fortress star with the rise of the Li family, has become a retirement place for lonely veterans.

When the adjutant was thinking wildly, the extremely embarrassed Li family battleship finally entered the Weiwuxing fortress. When the battleship was parked, Li Jialao, who had kept his eyes closed, immediately stood up and ordered, “All personnel immediately take over the fortress console, and I want to give those bastards a good look!”

When the ordinary soldiers heard this order, they immediately ran off the battleship, and then under the guidance of the veterans guarding the fortress, they took over the various consoles of the fortress. And those officers immediately broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this order. It is no wonder that the fortress did not take cover action at all. I dared to say that there were simply not enough people in the fortress to activate the defense system. “If the enemies that followed just now didn’t have the brains to chase in recklessly, I’m afraid all of them would have to…” Thinking of this, all the officers shuddered.

Watching the enemy run into the fortress, not to mention that Tang Long was jumping and scolding his mother, the reserve officers were also annoyed and cursed. Of course, they didn’t scold Tang Long, but the people who scold the Li family for their shit luck, and they all escaped like this. The follow-up troops who had not joined Tang Long and the others until this time, especially Liu Bin and the others, were so annoyed that they wanted to hit the wall. He rushed here desperately, without even firing a shot, the enemy hid in the fortress. These hundreds of battleships were firmly guarded behind the range of the fortress in a crescent shape. Before Tang Long decided what to do, they could only wait here.

On Tang Long’s flagship, Tang Long helplessly looked at the fortress star on the screen, what should I do now? What if this fortress refuses to surrender after occupying another planet in the Li family? Is it enough to trap them tightly? You must know that the various facilities in this kind of fortress are very complete, and people who have been trapped in him for thousands of years will not have any problems, and the planetary resources in the fortress can make them live happily.

How can there be planetary resources in the fortress? Looking at the appearance of this fortress, you can see that it has covered the entire planet with a shell, not a metal ball made of metal. In such a fortress, the planetary resources in it are still there. When humans didn’t go out of space, didn’t they rely on the resources of the planet itself to live for tens of thousands of years? But these are nothing. The most fearful thing is that there are military factories in such fortress stars, and it is not difficult to rely on the resources of the planet itself to manufacture thousands of warships. If you give them a certain amount of time, I am afraid that these people will give him food instead.

Li Lijun looked at Wei Wuxing bored on the screen and said, “However it looks like an ordinary planet, how can you say it is a fortress star?” It is not surprising that Li Lijun would say this, because he can see the earth and ocean on the surface of this planet. .

“Idiot! Don’t you even understand camouflage projection?” Chen Yi patted Li Lijun on the shoulder and scolded with a smile. Camouflage projection is a kind of camouflage technology that has existed for a long time. It is a technology designed to prevent the enemy from peeping at the military from a high altitude using a high-power lens. It used to be used to cover up some secret bases and things like that, but now it’s used to cover up the entire planet.

Hearing this, Tang Long saw that Li Lijun didn’t quite believe it. He pressed a button on the console, and the scanned image of the planet immediately appeared on the screen. Li Lijun was immediately dumbfounded when he saw it, this is still a planet, it’s just a big iron ball, and it’s still a big iron ball with black spots all over his body.

Seeing a huge black dot in the center of the planet, Li Lijun shuddered. The idiot also knew that it was the main gun of this fortress. The huge energy was shot from the muzzle larger than dozens of warships. Just imagining that kind of power would make you shudder.

Li Lijun shook his head, and while trying to put away the uncomfortable feeling, he muttered to himself: “What a huge main gun, if a cannon is fired, no matter how powerful a battleship will be finished. But it’s strange. , why didn’t the fortress attack us when we were chasing just now, so as to cover their troops?”

“Stupid! If their main guns are fired, we may be fine, and their troops will be doomed, because we are chasing them in a straight line.” Chen Yi slapped Li Lijun again, Chen Yi’s voice It was so loud that the entire command tower could hear it. When they heard this, everyone smiled and looked at Li Lijun, who was scratching his head.

“I didn’t say they wanted to fire the main artillery to cover, I meant why they didn’t help so many secondary artillery and fortress garrison fleet.” Li Lijun muttered dissatisfiedly.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Lijun’s words, yes, why didn’t the fortress be covered? From their own battleships chasing and killing the Li family battleship until the Li family battleship entered the fortress, the fortress did not fire a single laser beam, nor did it send a single battleship. What happened?

“Could it be that there is no one in the fortress to activate the system?” Tang Longhe stood up and said, but he quickly sat down in annoyance, patted his head and said, “Oh, if I knew this was the case, I would follow them closely. Enter the fortress to fight!”

Li Lijun didn’t understand how Tang Long would say that he knew this was the case, he said eagerly: “Sir, give an order, since they are short of manpower, we will go forward to fight, I Li Lijun will definitely take this fortress for you. of!”

Li Lijun had just finished speaking when he was beaten again by Chen Yi, and said loudly: “Idiot, even if they were originally understaffed, isn’t it enough to fill in with hundreds of warships? Still want to fight? I promise you If you enter the fortress range warning point, you will be burned to ashes!” The others also joked about Li Lijun.

Although Li Lijun wanted to ask Chen Yi why he was always calling him a fool, but he was not good at talking to women, so he could only look at Liu Sihao with pleading eyes, hoping that he could do justice to himself. Seeing Li Lijun’s eyes, Liu Sihao could only helplessly smile bitterly. He knew very well that Chen Yi’s voice was so loud and his actions were so rude, he was just trying to attract Tang Long’s attention to her.

At this moment, the black spot on the screen representing the main gun of Weiwuxing suddenly turned white, and the alarm sound of the battleship computer also sounded shrill: “Warning! Warning! There is huge energy formation ahead, please retreat immediately. Leave! Please leave immediately!”

“The main cannon of the fortress is about to be fired!” This thought appeared in everyone’s mind at the same time, and Li Lijun shouted in a panic, “Sir, quickly retreat!” And Chen Yi and others looked at Tang Long with a pale face.

“What are you panicking about? We are outside the effective range!” Tang Long shouted. Hearing this, everyone’s face immediately flushed, and they were so flustered in the safety zone, which is really bad.

Tang Long ignored these shy companions, activated the communicator and commanded: “Attention to the entire army, the energy of the shield is concentrated in the bow of the ship, and the engine quickly reverses and retreats! Be prepared for shock!” After speaking, he sat on the chair and fastened his seat belt. . Although Li Lijun and others were puzzled, since Tang Long said that he was out of the effective range, why did he retreat? Still, they followed the orders and held onto the stationary objects around them. In the entire battleship, only Feng Bing and Feng Shuang stood behind Tang Long. Of course, their hands were already holding the back of Tang Long’s commanding chair.

When the Datang warship began to retreat, when viewed from space, the virtual image of the earth and ocean in the central part of the satellite suddenly distorted, and then a large hole glowing white light was exposed, and then an unusually huge beam was ejected from the big hole, powerful The heat distorted and wobbled virtual images all over the planet.

The computers of Tang Long’s beluga battleships automatically filtered out the dazzling light that was even more dazzling than the stars, so that everyone’s eyes could clearly see the huge white beam of light coming towards them. When seeing that the entire screen was bright white, the hull shook violently one after another, and the ship’s computer also began to report the energy consumption data of the shield at the same time.

Of course, the violent shaking and the white light only lasted for a moment. When everything returned to calm, everyone saw that the space ahead was strangely distorted due to the passage of hot energy. The silver-white shell of the Beluga battleship next to it all turned red because of the heat. Of course, this phenomenon disappeared quickly, after all, the cooling system of the Beluga battleship is not good-looking.

“Each ship reports losses, how much energy is consumed by the shield?” Tang Long asked loudly.

“Report to the lord, the energy of the flagship shield is consumed by 65%, and the energy of the inventory is consumed by 30% by the cooling system.” The signal soldier immediately reported after tapping the computer. In a short while, the reports of each ship were also uploaded. Except for the difference in energy consumption due to the different positions of the battleships, there was no other damage.

“I didn’t expect that the main guns of Weiwu Fortress have such a huge power outside the range. If we are ordinary warships, after being attacked by this effective range, I am afraid that it is not because the shell is overheated and it will explode directly or the energy has bottomed out. As soon as the energy bottoms out, you don’t have to fight others and you can run away.” Tang Long sighed, and everyone around nodded in agreement. It was the first time he saw such a powerful shelling, and I’m afraid he would never forget it for the rest of his life. of.

“Well, did you calculate the distance after the main gun of the fortress was free of damage?” Tang Long asked his subordinates.

“It has been calculated that we need to evacuate 1 million kilometers to be outside the real effective range of the main guns of Weiwu Fortress.” The officer in charge of this work immediately replied.

“Okay, set up a few spy satellites in this star field. After the work is completed, the entire army will retreat 1 million kilometers!” Tang Long stood up and waved his hand.

“Yes!” With the communication of this order, hundreds of Beluga battleships began to evacuate the area.

In Wei Wuxing, the officers and soldiers of the Li family, who were still lamenting the power of the main gun just now, suddenly found out that the enemy had retreated and disappeared without a trace, and immediately cheered. The resentment that had been chased away not long ago was immediately given a chance to dissipate, and everyone cheered for this victory.

Li Jialao, who was sitting in the command chair in the main control room, still did not cheer, nor did his adjutant. Both of them knew that the enemy was only temporarily evacuating, and because of the attack just now, they did not lose any battleships.

Old Li sighed in a low voice: “I didn’t expect the Beluga battleship to be so hard. Although it is outside the effective range, I didn’t expect it to do any damage at all. If I had a thousand such battleships, it would not be difficult to unify the Tianhe Star Region. ”

Hearing the lord’s sigh, the adjutant did not answer, but whispered worriedly: “My lord, this cannon consumes 20% of our inventory energy, which means that the energy in our inventory can only be fired 4 more cannons.”

Li Jia Lao sighed: “Oh, I know, send a letter to the capital and ask them to reinforce as soon as possible.” He got up and left.

The adjutant originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the back of the Li family who was several decades old, he could only helplessly shake his head and turn around to do his own work. Because he knew that the lord knew very well that apart from the 200 or so surviving warships of Wei Wuxing, the Li family no longer had any warships.
