Chapter 1661: Battle of Broken Horn (5)

The communication channel was filled with the voices of teammates. Some were calmly reporting, some were screaming before death, and some were meaningless roars that were impossible to decipher.

Hall reached out and closed the friendly channel. These messages could not play any role and could only disturb his mind.

The lightning strike did not have the effect it should have, even though the target was a group of cruise ships.

After all, the number of enemy planes coming to intercept was too large, and I felt that the title of the largest combat fleet should be given to the Red Maple Republic.

Hall took a quick look and saw that on average each friendly unit had to face more than two enemies at the same time. Even if the enemies were mainly driving old space fighters, this number was too terrifying.

"Keep flying, and we'll retreat after we drop the torpedoes."

In this situation, even the flight commander began to panic, but Li Chengxi's voice remained very calm.

All approaching enemy forces would be destroyed by him, and even many enemy planes could not get within the range of accurate shooting and were blown up by Li Chengxi.

Still the same as always, the shooting ability is so accurate that it makes people scared.

Li Chengxi was unusually obedient this time and did not rush in. Perhaps even he felt that acting on his own in such a large-scale battle was not a good thing.

Hall took a look at the star map and found that he had arrived at the projection point. He turned the body's posture, and four void torpedoes were fired immediately. The racks were ejected to avoid affecting the flexibility of the magic mecha's body.

There were also many friendly forces that arrived at the launch point, but the damage caused by the void torpedoes was unsatisfactory.

Only a small number of enemy cruisers were hit visually, and most of the torpedoes were destroyed by anti-aircraft guns on the way.

In other words, the number of carrier-based aircraft reaching the projection point is still insufficient.

Hall could only smack his lips, turn around and control the body to catch up with Li Chengxi.

The mission now was to return, reload the torpedoes, and wait for new orders to launch another torpedo attack.

But it’s not easy to go back.

There were too many enemy aircraft, and regardless of whether or not they had completed the mission of launching torpedoes, most of the friendly forces were entangled by the enemy and it was difficult for them to escape.

No matter how good Li Chengxi is at fighting, he cannot rescue all the friendly forces. Even though Hall followed him, the two of them were like meteors flying quickly through the asteroid belt, and their help was still a drop in the bucket.

Hall certainly knew that the most troublesome thing now was the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer, but let alone dealing with it, it would take a long time to break through the cruiser formation in front of him and face the main force of the enemy.

"Don't be impatient. It's too early to tell who will win now."

As if he had seen through Hall's thoughts, Li Chengxi said while maintaining the high-speed maneuvering of the machine:
"I don't believe that the top leaders of the Xuanshui Federation haven't prepared a backup plan. Besides, we are not without support."

As he spoke, Li Chengxi kicked away an enemy fighter plane that was trying to launch a sneak attack on friendly forces, and then fired two beam Balkans to turn it into a fireball.

He then pointed behind Hall, and turning around, he saw a huge planetary fortress surrounding the royalist fleet approaching.

Speaking of reinforcements, they are here.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The royalist fleet came with the Fifth Fleet, but the royalists did not accept the command of the Whirlpool Federation and were friendly forces with independent decision-making power. This war was not only a conflict between two superpowers, but also a conflict between the royalists and the Republic government. They could not sit idly by.

It's just that it would be very unwise to jump in rashly when the situation is unclear in the early stage of the war, so they only operated underground in the early and middle stages, or played the emotional card, and now, if they don't take the field, there will be no chance for them to take the field.

The royalist fleet refused to accept orders and therefore did not go with the Fifth Fleet to join the main force. Instead, it stood outside the battlefield and approached the battlefield step by step at its own pace.

This move was actually criticized by the Whirlpool Federation Command. It felt like waiting for the two to fight for the benefit of the fisherman. However, when the Red Maple Republic Army activated the reactor jammer, the royalist fleet played a big role.

They approached from the rear of the cruiser formation, and once they were within firing range, they immediately aimed at the cruiser formation of the Red Maple Republic Army.

Even though the Red Maple Republic Army has thousands of cruisers, it is only a fleet composed of cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers. Facing real main battleships, they will be very weak in a head-on combat.

Not to mention, there is also a huge planetary fortress with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers.

To deal with the cruiser fleet, the long-range anti-ship ion beam on the fortress is enough, and there is no need to activate the main gun.

The brilliance of a salvo completely overwhelmed the main guns of all the cruisers. The Red Maple Republic's cruiser fleet was certainly not blind, but since it was entangled by the Whirlpool Federation's fleet, it was not so easy to retreat and dodge.

The result was that after two or three rounds of salvos, almost one-third of the cruising fleet was destroyed, which was far more damage than the damage caused by the fierce fighting between the two sides just now.

At the same time, the royalist fleet began a full-screen broadcast to the entire universe, and Princess Leia, the soul figure of the royalists, appeared on the broadcast.

Li Chengxi felt that this routine was very familiar. If Princess Leia sang and danced, it would become Macross...

Of course, Princess Leia didn't know how to sing and dance like an idol. She just gave a long speech, eloquently explaining the unnecessary nature of the war and the irrationality of the Republic's illegal war. She advised the soldiers to give up fighting and surrender, and to resist the Republic government together.

Princess Leia's prestige among the people is not high, but the royal family has a high status among the people.

After all, it has only been more than 20 years since the Red Maple Empire became a republic. Young people may not feel much about it, but for middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, the appearance of Princess Leia itself represents the illegality of the republican government.

Coincidentally, in order to supplement the shortage of soldiers, the Red Maple Republic recruited many people of this age group.

Although it is not enough to make the enemy surrender with just one speech, Princess Leia's speech did have a certain impact, and this impact will become greater and greater as the fleet of the Whirlpool Federation approaches the capital step by step.

But now, the fleet will not raise the white flag just because of Princess Leia's words. The battle has already reached a white-hot state.

So, does Princess Leia’s speech have any positive effect?

Yes, rationality.

It is equivalent to publicizing the legitimacy of one's own actions. If the royalist fleet launches an attack next, it will not be a civil war, but an extermination of traitors.

This operation is the same as Viola's use of Flavia as a banner. The people may not believe it, but you must have it, otherwise it would be an illegitimate position and not conducive to post-war rule.

So after Princess Leia's speech, everyone on the battlefield saw that the huge planet fortress began to light up with bright light, which at one point overshadowed the brightness of the stars.

Fortress cannon, start charging.
