The Strongest Interstellar Commander - Chapter 81

[Chapter 81 The Battle of Leo (Part 1)]

At this time, the war between the Kabat Empire and the Ox Empire had entered a fever pitch.

After winning Witte, the confidence of the commander Hamid greatly increased, and he soon drew up plans for Rasea and Leo.

The 1.2 million fleet stationed in Werther left 200,000 to guard the way of the stars in the direction of Lasea, and the remaining 1 million warships set off directly from Werther to attack Leo!

At the same time attacking Leo was also the 2 million Kabat Empire army stationed in Sicily who had already confronted Leo, and the total offensive force reached a terrifying 3 million.

According to calculations, this battle will start in 2 years. After all, Sicily is a full 6 light-years away from Leo, and it takes 2 years to walk the path of the stars.

The distance between Witte and Leo is about 3 light-years. In order to match the attack time, they will start after one year.

On the other hand, the Ox Empire stationed 3 Guard Corps and 1 Border Corps in Leo, with a total strength of 1.6 million!

Originally, these 1.6 million battleships had no problem defending the 2 million battleships of Sicily in the way of the stars with the help of favorable conditions.

But now Werther has fallen. Therefore, in order to deal with the threat from Werther, Leo’s defenders had to arrange half of the battleships on the entrance and exit of Werther’s way of stars, which led to the line of defense of the way of the stars in the direction of Sicily. 800,000 warships.

The most important thing is that the distance between the entrances of the two Star Paths is a full 2AU, so that the defenders on both sides cannot support each other quickly.

As for the Fourth Army of the Guards, who are returning at the moment, they are on their way to Horton and are expected to arrive in three years.

Horton is about 12 light-years away from Werther. It is a node that cannot be avoided by the Kabat army’s attack on the capital circle of Oaks. Unless it walks around the periphery of the Oaks Empire for half a circle, not to mention the time, it may be blocked by another border. Legion intercepted.

It was precisely because of this that Isa went straight to Holden to wait for the rabbit.

Two years later, when the time came to the 64th year of the federal calendar, the Leo Battle finally started!

The first to appear in Leo via the Starway was the Kabat Imperial fleet from Werther.

Or follow the strategy of attacking Werther, first make a quick breakthrough with the trapped fleet, and tear a hole in the array of the defenders.

If it goes well, it should be like this, but the Ox Empire is not stupid. They have already obtained the process of Werther’s fall. Naturally, they know that the Kabat Empire has such a fleet of nearly 10,000 warships!

Therefore, Leo’s defenders also attached great importance to this fleet. On the front line of defense, the 200,000 fleet immediately began to focus fire.

A wave of attacks caused the loss of more than 500 warships to the trapped fleet.

The Kabat Empire has long been prepared for this, and even in Hamid’s plan, the fleet was used as a bait, and it was ready to be buried here.

As long as it can attract the defenders to focus their fire and attack for ten minutes, the subsequent fleets can gain a firm foothold at the exit of the Star Road, and then directly take the opponent with their difference in strength.

You must know that this is not the narrow star path between Werther and Scia, where ten minutes is enough for 200,000 warships to pass through the star path.

Don’t look at the fact that there are 800,000 defenders on the Xingzhidao defense line, but there are really not that many who can attack at the same time, and at most 300,000 are dead.

If the Kabat Empire’s 200,000 battleships pass through the Way of the Stars and gain a firm foothold, then the 800,000 defenders will be basically useless, because the speed at which the battleships of the two sides are battered is not as fast as the arrival of the subsequent fleets of the Kabat Empire. .

So this time Hamid used the trapped fleet as bait to attract firepower.

In Hamid’s strategic thinking, as long as Leo’s defenders are completely wiped out, the Ox Empire’s combat power on the border between the two sides will only be 1.8 million of Lasea’s, while the Kabat Empire will be more than 5 million.

With the remaining 8,000 trapped fleets, if you can exchange such an advantage for the Kabat Empire, why not give up?

Besides, Hamid remembers that Lin Fan said that as long as he wins the Ox Empire, he will give more rewards.

Therefore, Leo’s defenders fell into a difficult choice.

1. Concentrate on all efforts to annihilate this trapped fleet, but the consequence is to allow the opponent’s follow-up fleet to build a bridgehead.

2. According to the normal style of play, it does not specifically focus on fire and trap the fleet, but the consequence is likely to be like Werther, being directly penetrated into the array by it, eventually leading to a complete collapse.

In the end, Leo’s garrison commander gritted his teeth and made a decision.

For the final victory of the Ox Empire, no matter what the price is, this fleet must be wiped out here, even at the cost of Leo’s fall!

Destroy the fleet first, and then consume the Kabat Empire’s warships to the greatest extent possible before all of them are destroyed. This is his general policy now.

Soon, all the fleets on the defense line received orders and began to frantically gather fire towards the trapped fleet, completely ignoring the follow-up fleets of the Kabat Empire.

Ten minutes after the start, the trapped fleet lost more than 7,000 battleships, and the losses of the Ox Empire were also huge.

In the course of the assault, the entrapment fleet killed at least 20,000 warships. In addition, in the past 10 minutes, the nearly 200,000 warships that sailed from the way of the stars were not watching the show on the side. As soon as they came out, they joined the attacking ranks of the defenders on the defensive line, killing at least 50,000 warships.

At this time, as expected by Leo’s defending commander, although the fleet was crippled, the other side successfully established a bridgehead, and nearly 200,000 warships had been deployed there.

The next moment, the real meat grinder started. The defenders on the defensive line no longer focused on the remaining hundreds of warships, but began to cover and shoot towards the exit area of the Way of the Stars, and the Kabat Empire fleet, which had already stood at the bridgehead, naturally fought back with all its strength.

On the battlefield, thousands of warships on both sides are blown up every minute. When one warship is blown up, the other one behind it will immediately step forward to fill the position, and both sides will fall into complete consumption. war.

The difference is that at the beginning of this war of attrition, the Kabat Empire still had 1 million warships, while the Ox Empire had only a little over 700,000 warships.

Just when Leo’s garrison commander was considering whether to send 300,000 warships from the direction of Sicily to support, the army of Sicily on another road of the Kabat Empire also came to Leo through the way of the stars.

The commander of Leo’s defending army knew that there were more than 2 million warships of Kabat in Sicily.

Although I don’t know if all of them have come this time, obviously, at this time, the defenders must not be dispatched to support the Way of the Stars in the direction of Werther.
