Chapter 1290: The Fatal Flaw in the Empire’s Tactics

hiss.

After hearing Montero's confirmation, Valeri couldn't help but take a breath.

How cruel.

Not only did they divide their troops into a thousand groups and launch an attack simultaneously, they even used the tactics that Lin Fan had used before.

Although this was a tactic that Lin Fan was tired of using, it was really effective when used at this moment.

At least, with this half-year time difference, the possibility of encountering anti-crossing tactics is 100% eliminated, so the entire army can attack in one go.

I have to say that the Noreya Empire played this game beautifully.

Soon, after Lin Fan's explanation, the rest of the people understood why Lin Fan said that the fleet of the Noreya Empire would arrive at the Xiluo Realm in half a year, and they all began to get nervous.

"Everyone, although the enemy is very smart, dividing its troops into a thousand locations, trying to maximize its own military advantage and minimize our geographical advantage."

“Although this seems unsolvable, it is actually not the case!”

"There is a fatal loophole in this tactic, but the opponent didn't notice it!"

"Have you ever thought about how long it takes to get from one end of the Black Cavity World to the other?"

When hearing this question, almost everyone was stunned. What does this mean?

Well, regardless of what Lin Fan meant,

The Xiluo Realm is a giant black hole realm with a diameter of approximately 110,000 standard black hole units.

What is this concept?

According to the ninth-generation black cavity engine currently used by the Federation, its speed can reach 1,200 standard black cavity units per day.

In other words, it takes about 91 days, or three months, to travel from one end of Xiluo Realm to the other.

But what does this have to do with the opponent's offensive tactics?

"Don't you understand? We don't need to guard those one thousand cross-border passages at the same time!"

Just when everyone was confused, Montero spoke.

However, even though Montero pointed out Lin Fan's plan, most people still didn't understand it.

Soon, someone started asking.

"Grand Duke Montero, what exactly does this mean? Can you explain it in detail?"

"It's actually very simple. We just need to guard a small part of the entrance!"

"A small part?"

"Yes, for example, if we only guard 50 passages, what will happen?"

"Of course we can easily defeat the enemy!"

Hearing this question, everyone immediately calculated it silently in their minds.

If only 50 passages are guarded, the Federation can deploy about 160 legions at each passage, while the number of enemy fleets is about 90.

Let’s talk about the fleet strength.

The Alliance civilization uses the joint battleships produced by the Federation. The performance of this type of battleship is about 1.3 times that of the Imperial battleship.

As for the Mosasaur-class battleships used by the Federation, their performance is more than five times that of the United Nations battleships.

Therefore, if only fifty passage entrances were guarded, the Alliance would have an absolute advantage in terms of both military strength and warship performance.

In fact, these 160 legions can almost form a complete frontier defense line.

You know, in the last battle between the Alliance and Torrea, the first line of defense at the entrance of the passage was filled with warships, but it was only 200 legions.

"But what about the remaining 950 channels?"

"Even if we easily win 50 channels, the enemy can gather unhindered in the remaining 950 channels, and we are still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of manpower."

Soon, someone continued to ask questions.

"Don't you understand yet? This is a giant black cavity world, with a diameter that even reaches 110,000 standard black cavity units."

"Even if we let them all arrive, it doesn't matter. According to the passages they opened, even between passages, it takes at least two days to sail."

"We can use our all-round advantages in manpower, terrain, and combat power to annihilate the enemy at the entrance of the channel in just 2 or 3 hours, while their fleet arriving from other channels will have no time to reinforce them."

"In this way, we can take advantage of the time difference and encircle and annihilate the enemy's isolated fleets one after another!"

"And this is exactly what Marshal Lin Fan said, the fatal flaw in the opponent's tactics!"

"Am I right, Marshal Lin Fan?"

After a detailed explanation, Montero looked at Lin Fan and asked.

"That's right, just as Montero said, this is the fatal loophole in the enemy's tactics!"

"I will now announce the combat deployment."

——

Federal calendar year 2176.

As expected, more than 90,000 imperial fleets, divided into a thousand locations, simultaneously emerged from a thousand cross-border channels.

However.

Oryx was dumbfounded.

In the new mobile imperial palace.

"Your Majesty, the 772 fleet reports that they have arrived at the Xiluo Realm, but no pagan fleet was found at the entrance of the passage!"

"Your Majesty, the 875th Fleet reports that they have arrived at the Xiluo Realm, but no pagan fleet was found at the entrance of the passage!"

"Your Majesty, the 297th Fleet reports that they have arrived at the Xiluo Realm, but no pagan fleet was found at the entrance!"

These continuous reports completely confused Oryx.

Where did the enemy go?

"Your Majesty, the pagan fleet has been spotted!"

"Where?"

"This is a report from the 119th Fleet. After they arrived at the Xiluo Realm, they found about 100 pagan legions at the entrance of the passage and are currently fighting fiercely with them!"

"A hundred?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the 075 and 389 fleets just reported that they also encountered a pagan fleet at the entrance of the passage, with a number of 100 legions!"

Soon, more and more reports of encounters with the Alliance defenders were transmitted here.

In the end, only eighty out of a thousand routes encountered the enemy.

The most crucial thing is that the eighty cross-border passages that were attacked were not all together, but were also scattered throughout the black cavity world.

"Order all fleets to immediately surround the pagan fleet!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although he didn't quite understand what these pagans were doing, Oryx didn't care.

As long as all the fleets are surrounded nearby, the final result will be the same, there is no difference.

This is almost every 11 or 12 routes, enclosed in one place.

In other words, even if at least 1,000 legions encircle the 100 legions of the pagans, the advantage is still on me!

However, not much time passed, and even the fleets that had begun the siege had just started moving for a short time when Oryx received bad news.

The 80 fleets that encountered the pagans have all been destroyed!

Totaling this time, is it three hours? No, is it two hours?

Ninety legions were defeated just like that?

Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
