Chapter 481 Everyone Is Patient
The so-called plan in Yue Yuan's mouth is actually the tactics he formulated to fight the enemy.
Since the interstellar trading market party already knows that the human fleet is controlled by strong artificial intelligence, and it is also multi-threaded control, then they want to win, there are only two ways. One is to fight head-on with the advantage of numbers, which has gradually lost this advantage. The second is the strategy of going straight to the center of the human fleet and killing the flagship of the human fleet.
However, before that, Yue Yuan thought that they should not go straight to the center of the human fleet as soon as the war started, but would first engage in a period of fighting and observation, the purpose of which is naturally to find out the location of the flagship of the human fleet.
After the first war and after years of small-scale battles in this starry sky, the two sides also know each other. In this case, the center of the other party's formation is not necessarily the location of the flagship.
Therefore, if you want to find the location of the flagship, you must first conduct a test attack, so that you can reverse the location of the flagship from the reaction delay of each warship.
Yue Yuan's tactics were also simple. When they met the enemy, the two fleets of East Sea and West Sea, which were equipped with strong artificial intelligence, and the warships originally assigned to them were temporarily commanded by the Tianqin, creating the illusion that the interstellar trading market had only one command center, the Tianqin.
When they launched a surprise attack, they would assign the command of some warships to the East Sea and West Sea, catching the other side off guard.
The battle between the two sides was about to break out.
The first to fire was still the laser energy cannon with the longest effective range and the fastest speed, and the method used was still a group of warship formations firing in unison.
Countless warships shot out invisible laser energy beams, and when these beams intersected in the void, it also marked the start of the second large-scale battle between the two sides.
Obviously, the interstellar trading market was very cautious this time. They did not launch a surprise attack at the beginning. Instead, they divided the 12 million warships into two, and passed through the two sides of the human spherical formation at a distance of 20 to 30 light seconds, and fired long-range shots at the human fleet from two directions.
This distance gave them enough reaction time. Even if the human fleet changed direction to chase one of the fleets, they could turn and accelerate to increase the distance, while the other fleet could bite the other direction of the human fleet.
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, the fleets of both sides began to suffer losses. When the battle reached the fifteenth day, the losses of both sides were close to three digits.
During this period, the human first fleet had shown a clear combat method centered on the Tianqin, and it can be said that the position of the Tianqin had been exposed.
But the interstellar trading market was obviously very cautious. They still did not take surprise action, but continued to fight in this way.
Yue Yuan was not in a hurry about this. Anyway, in long-distance combat, human warships undoubtedly had an absolute advantage. 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 be easily destroyed by warships that have long discovered the trajectory of the shells with layers of close defense guns.
In fact, Yue Yuan knew what the other party was waiting for. From the glittering icon on the star map that has always been in the field of vision of human detectors, he knew that they were waiting for the three million warships that came to support.
Before the arrival of that fleet, Yue Yuan believed that the other party would not launch a surprise attack.
The development of things was indeed similar to what he thought. Although the fleets of both sides officially fought, for a long time to come, the strategy of the interstellar trading market was still mainly based on pulling.
Knowing that the other party would not be so easily fooled, Yue Yuan was also very patient. Under his instructions, the East Sea and the West Sea in the first fleet were like two unmanned warships, accepting the command of the Tianqin strong artificial intelligence.
The entire fleet was like a strong artificial intelligence, and was pulled back and forth by the two squadrons of the interstellar trading market in coordination, without any intention of separating the squadrons to pursue separately.
A day later, the three million warships finally arrived at the battlefield and attacked the first fleet of humanity from another direction.
At this time, the first fleet of humanity was attacked from three sides.
However, even so, the first fleet of humanity still did not show any intention of splitting up the fleet to deal with the enemies in each direction separately, but only let the entire fleet shoot at the enemy fleet in one direction for a while, and then turned around and shot at the enemy fleet approaching from another direction, looking like 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, but adopted a wandering and splitting tactic. Each fleet quickly passed by the edge of the enemy fleet, and then moved away after shooting, and then made a big turn in space, and then waited for the opportunity to wait for their own fleet to do the same to the human fleet from another direction, so that the human fleet adjusted its posture and turned its guns, and then carried out a second round of cutting attacks.
The three fleets were like three flies going in and out around the dung ball, which was very annoying.
However, relying on their advantage in long-range combat, humans were not in a hurry and just kept fighting with the enemy.
"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: "Commander 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 idea, the first fleet of mankind 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 a disadvantageous battle loss ratio against the humans 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 with the human fleet staying on the thirteenth planet in another battlefield, 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.
