    Chapter 231 The Battle of Sagittarius

    On the command bridge, Yi Lexiang paced back and forth.

    Why is the defense of Space Gate 2, which is supposed to be heavily guarded by the Imperials, so lax?  This unusual approach seemed to indicate something, and Yi Lexiang felt an imminent crisis.  He ordered the fleet staff to put down their tactical deductions for Space Gate 2 and instead explore whether there were other ways out.

    The universe is really too big, far beyond the maximum range that human life span can bear.  The closest space gate to Sagittarius is 08 light-years away. In other words, even if the fleet has enough energy, it will take nearly 3 years to travel at the maximum speed of the starship, not to mention the various accidents that may occur at any time along the way.  .  The Sagittarius Space Gate is the only option for the United Fleet.

    At the same time, the three A-class fleets and eight B-class fleets behind the Imperials were rushing towards the Charno theater regardless of losses.

    ¡°We can¡¯t wait any longer, order the fleet to prepare to storm the Sagittarius Space Gate.¡± Yi Lexiang, who was restless, said to Chen Yatian.

    "Which of the three space gates should we attack?" Chen Yatian had never seen Yi Lexiang so agitated. He felt as if something was really going to happen.

    "Except for Space Gate No. 2, choose any one! If not, let them draw lots." Yi Lexiang replied impatiently.

    "Okay." Chen Yatian nodded in agreement, turned around and walked off the command bridge.  He has an almost superstitious admiration for Yi Lexiang who resists heat. Although this order is somewhat contrary to common sense, he has no doubts.  Various previous battles have already proven that Yi Lexiang is always correct.

    The fleet began to operate efficiently. The fleet composed of the new army of the academy was ordered to contain the Imperial B-class fleet stationed in Sagittarius, while the personal guard was responsible for attacking the space gate frontally.  For the soldiers of the Guards, "frontal attack", this seemingly ordinary tactic was the least used tactic in the past.  In the many battles following Yi Lexiang, there were almost no opportunities for frontal attacks.  The officers' faces were somewhat solemn, which just showed that the situation facing the fleet was quite dangerous.

    The fleet of the academy's new army took the lead in sailing out of the dense atmosphere of the gaseous planet. As soon as they left the atmosphere, they formed an attack formation, looking menacing.  They must lure the B-class fleet to leave the space city.

    The combined fleet has a slight advantage in terms of strength, but this does not mean that this battle will be easy.  The existence of three space gates allows the imperial reinforcements to arrive at Sagittarius as quickly as possible.  So the battle must end as quickly as possible.

    The Imperials soon discovered the fleet of the new academy army, but surprisingly they did not make any reaction.  The B-class fleet is still in the space orbit near the space city.

    Yi Lexiang's heart sank. He was 100% sure that there must be an ambush fleet from the Empire in the star field on the other side of Space Gate No. 2.

    "Order the academy army to immediately capture the space city at Space Gate No. 2!" Yi Lexiang decisively changed the battle plan.

    At this time, both the enemy and ourselves have set a trap for each other, but it is clear that the Empire has the upper hand. At least there is an unknown number of fleets behind Space Gate 2.

    "Let's go!" Chen Yatian was a little anxious.  Even a person without any military knowledge now understands that the Empire has set a trap for them. Now that the combined fleet has been exposed to the Empire, the situation may become worse every minute that passes.

    "Wait a minute!" Yi Lexiang calmed down at this time and shook his head.

    The Empire does not know the specific coordinates of the United Fleet, otherwise it would not be a trap waiting for them, but a swarming Star Fleet.  This should be a joint operation arranged by the Empire's Charno Theater, and the target should be the combined fleet.  He didn't know how many similar arrangements the enemy had set up, but one thing was certain that this would definitely consume a lot of troops.  This is an opportunity!

    The Academy Army¡¯s attack on the Space City went very smoothly. Twenty minutes later, the Academy Army received a battle report about the capture of Space City at Space Gate No. 2.

    "After ordering them to blow up the air defense weapons of the space city, they immediately set up a defense line in front of the space gate." Yi Lexiang issued a new combat order, "The Guards fleet was dispatched, targeting Space Gate No. 3, and attacking across the board."

    The enemies in Sagittarius are nothing to worry about. What is really worrying is the unknown number of ambush fleets on the other side of Space Gate 2.  Just now, Yi Lexiang was betting that the commander of the Sagittarius Empire's garrison would misinterpret the Academy Army's attack on the space city.  Fate was on his side once again.  Now, the Guards can attack Space Gate No. 3 freely.

    The Guards rushed towards Space Gate No. 3 with an unstoppable momentum.

    Until this moment, the imperial commander of Sagittarius woke up from a dream.  He understandsI have been tricked by the Charno people.  The Charno people are not trying to pass through Space Gate No. 2, their goal is Space Gate No. 3.  The purpose of the interstellar fleet that attacked Space Gate No. 2 was to form a defense line to prevent the Imperial fleet on the other side from passing through the space gate.  Angry, he ordered the fleet to take the initiative to attack the Guards.  A B-class fleet takes the initiative to attack an A+-class fleet, and the final result can be imagined.  Although the Imperial fleet had a slight advantage in terms of numbers, it was not enough to make up for the huge gap in combat effectiveness.  What's more, as Yi Lexiang's personal guard, this fleet is almost armed to the teeth, with all kinds of new weapons and equipment emerging in endlessly.  Not long after the confrontation, the Imperial fleet commander regretted his recklessness.  The starships of the Guards were like giant dragons rushing through the imperial starship formation, and soon the imperial fleet was completely defeated.  Under the pressure of the Guards, the Imperial fleet reluctantly retreated to the fire support range of the space city.

    "Put in the mecha!" Yi Lexiang had a cold smile on his face. The imperial commander's calculation was wrong again.  The strongest part of the Guards is not interstellar combat, but the ground mecha troops with S-level combat capabilities.

    In order to give full play to the land warfare power of the Ninth Fleet, under the auspices of the old dean, the Anokhi Academy of Science developed a device that can be launched into close space.  With the help of this device, mecha troops can be dropped directly from space to the ground without the need for landing craft or transport ships.  This tactic can also be used if the two fleets are very close to each other.  Of course, the chance of a physical fight between two fleets in the vast interstellar space is probably lower than the chance of winning the jackpot lottery.

    At this time, the defense battle for Space Gate No. 2 also started.

    Thousands of star fighter jets spray out from the space gate like a huge metal fountain.  According to convention, the first wave of attacks should be completed by space mines, but obviously the Imperial ambush fleet was not prepared to counterattack the space gate, and could only use the star fighter planes as cannon fodder.

    The academy military, which had long been prepared, responded with wave after wave of energy cannons that seemed to never stop.  Most of the fighter planes were bombarded to pieces by intensive artillery fire before they even left the space gate, and a few fish that slipped through the net became interstellar souls under the blows of the wandering cannon.

    The metal fountain lasted for a full ten minutes. At least 20,000 to 40,000 star fighters entered the Sagittarius galaxy through the space gate in just ten minutes. The space gate was surrounded by the remains of destroyed fighter planes.  Although the Academy Army tried its best, thousands of Imperial fighter planes were lucky enough to escape the intensive artillery fire and rushed towards the waiting fleet, stepping on the bones of their own people.  Then, the space gate began to fluctuate violently, which was a precursor to the passage of large ships.  Dozens of attack ships with their energy shields opened instantly appeared in the starry sky of Sagittarius. Almost at the same time, a huge beam of light shot out from the Academy Army's starship formation. All the wreckage of the fighter planes in front of the beam and the two sides were fighting.  The fighter planes together were immediately vaporized by the light beam containing huge energy. The continuous spray of light beams hit the light blue energy shield of the imperial attack ship. In just a few seconds, the energy shield protecting the ship was reduced to nothing, followed by a series of explosions.  .

    However, as the imperial offensive became more and more fierce, the academy army was no longer able to completely block the space door with firepower.  The commander of the academy army adjusted his formation and tried his best to hit the imperial fleet as much as possible; at the same time, he anxiously paid attention to the battle near Space Gate No. 3.

    The battle for Space Gate No. 3 is gradually coming to an end.  A few minutes ago, as the fleet flagship was destroyed, the Empire's B-class fleet finally collapsed completely. The anti-aircraft fire of the space city that was assisting in the defense was mostly muted. The densely packed mechas were like an ant colony, devouring the last of the space city.  Several firepower points are still resisting.

    "Release the mines!" The fleet commander of the Academy Army finally received the order to retreat, and he roared loudly.  The Imperials have broken through the firepower network composed of the fleet. Hundreds of Imperial attack ships have formed a huge energy barrier in front of the fleet. More and more capital ships of various types are pouring out from the space gate. Several Anokhi  The fighter group on the other side was trapped in the locust-like Imperial fighter group, and they had no chance to return to the starship.  The academy fleet began to retreat slowly, and a large number of space mines were released from the retracted ships into the open space.  Ever since Yi Lexiang used space mines to achieve several great victories, more and more General Charno liked to bring space mines that they had never looked at in the past.

    The Imperials did not pursue, their main force had not yet passed through the space gate, and the battle just attacking the space gate had already caused them heavy casualties.  This is an A-class main fleet. After the battle, the general who commanded this main fleet was severely punished by the Empire's Supreme Command. It was precisely because of his way of conserving strength that the combined fleet safely returned from the Sagittarius 3 space gate.  Escaped from the Empire's sight for once.  This greatly annoyed the high command.  The hapless Imperial commander was sent home as a result.
