Eighty-eight Star Blitz
After taking down Horton and annihilating the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard, Lin Fan's battle plan entered the second stage, the Interstellar Blitz!
Its core strategy is to make full use of the high mobility of the curvature engine. Before the Ox Empire can react, quickly take down Liles and Coelio, and completely isolate the hinterland of the Ox Empire from the external frontier.
Then it swept all the star systems outside the capital circle of Oaks. After all, according to the information obtained, in the hinterland of Oaks, there were only a large number of warships assembled in the capital circle of 200,000 guards and Rao's 100,000 defenders.
Lin Fan was confident that he would completely sweep these areas within three months, and by the way, he took Rao and completely besieged the Oaks capital circle.
On the second day after the annihilation of the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard, the Interstellar Blitz started directly!
Lin Fan and Liang Xingchen led their fleets to Liles and Coelio respectively, while Jiang Hai left behind 5,000 battleships to garrison Holden, and then divided into three groups of five squadrons and rushed towards them. 3 star systems around Horton.
Because Liles and Coelio are located close to the Io Federation, there are not only many star systems around them, but also a frontier army stationed at the outermost part of the territory.
Therefore, these two places are all low-risk areas, and there are not many defenders. They are both defenders with only 10,000 warships.
Twelve days later, the First Fleet commanded by Lin Fan arrived in Liers, 19.2 light-years away, and easily defeated its defenders, leaving 5,000 warships stationed there.
After splitting the fleet, it launched an attack on the surrounding galaxies.
Fifteen days later, the Fourth Fleet commanded by Liang Xingchen arrived in Coelio, 24 light-years away, and in the face of only 10,000 defenders, it was very easy to take down the star system.
Immediately after leaving 5,000 battleships as scheduled, they quickly rushed to the surrounding star system.
For a time, in the hinterland of the Ox Empire, a blitzkrieg of the interstellar era started completely.
Take advantage of the unparalleled interstellar speed of the Curvature Engine, the ultra-high defensive capabilities of the energy shield, and the slow communication speed of the Ox Empire.
Before Ramiro and Ross received any information, they swept the surrounding star system directly.
During this period, almost every 2 or 3 days, a star system will be brought into the hands of the Human Federation, and the speed is evident.
Until the 32nd day of the Interstellar Blitz, the 15 star systems in the hinterland of the Ox Empire, except for Ox in the capital circle and Rao in the confrontation with Tianyuan Four, the remaining 13 star systems have all fallen into the hands of the Human Federation.
The capital circle of the Ox Empire has completely become an isolated island, however, Ross has just received a message from Isa at this time.
After reading the content, Ross's face changed greatly, and he immediately ran towards the palace!
"Your Majesty, it's not good, something big has happened!"
"Royal family, what happened? Could it be that the Kabat Empire has broken through Horton?"
Looking at Rose's pale face, Ramiro was also taken aback.
What happened to frighten Uncle Huang into this? Could it really be that Holden was breached?
If Horton is gone, the empire will be half over!
"Your Majesty, this is a message from Isa, take a look!"
With that said, Ross started the operation, and after a while, the final video message recorded by Isa was played in the audience room.
It's okay not to look at it, but at first glance, I was shocked by the information inside.
"Uncle, is this information certain?"
"I know Isa, he won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, Your Majesty, this is the message Isa sent more than a month ago! The human fleet with curvature engines and energy shields will definitely not be within this month. Just stay in Houghton!"
"Uncle, do you mean that the star systems near our capital circle are likely to have all fallen?"
"His Majesty,
That's what I mean, if I'm guessing right, we've probably become an island here! "
Ramiro couldn't believe it, there was no sign of anything, you suddenly told me that except for the capital circle, it is very likely that all of them have fallen?
Are you sure this isn't a joke?
Seeing Ramiro's expression of disbelief, Ross shook his head and sighed.
If it's what you think, it's terrifying.
Moreover, it is such a desperate situation that Isa, an iron-blooded soldier who is not afraid of death, can send a message to persuade the emperor to surrender before his death!
"Your Majesty, I think the most important thing at the moment is to confirm the situation. Before I came, I sent a message to all the star systems in the hinterland of the empire and asked them to report the situation. The several star systems directly connected to the capital circle should be there within a week. The information has come, but if not.... Please consider the last suggestion of Commander Isa!"
"Uncle, you!"
Ramiro was angry, and Ross actually asked himself to consider Aisha's suggestion!
What is Isa's advice? Surrender yourself! I am the emperor of the Ox Empire, you told me to surrender to mankind? If it is even possible, it will become a subsidiary civilization of mankind?
How can you say such a thing?
Looking at Ramiro who was about to explode, Ross sighed and continued.
"Your Majesty, I naturally hope that everything is just my imagination, but if it is true, then nothing is more important than the survival of the empire!"
"go out!"
"His Majesty!"
"Get me out!"
Ramiro shouted loudly, and even the guards who were visiting the outside could hear it clearly and glanced at each other.
Everyone is guessing what happened. His Majesty yelled at Lord Ross like this. This is the first time I have seen it.
Although the emperor is tyrannical, he has always respected his royal family, and he has never seen a situation like today.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will report back to you when the news is confirmed!"
After Ross finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and withdrew.
Looking at Ross leaving the audience room, Ramiro's eyes were uncertain.
Want me to surrender? Even if the speculation just now is true, it is impossible. I would rather lead the entire empire to destruction, and it is impossible to surrender to the human who killed Doron!
Just when Ramiro became more and more crazy, Lin Fan and the others did not stop.
Each of the three fleets left 5,000 warships stationed in the external node star system, and only one mecha brigade was left to station in the rest.
After all, it is absolutely impossible for the Guards Corps to appear outside the capital circle in less than a year, as far as the marching speed of Oaks using the Way of the Stars is concerned. Therefore, for the non-external node star systems, we only need to leave a batch of machines for the time being. A troop is enough, and it is also necessary to guard against the resistance forces in the planet that the fleet has not cleaned up.
After arranging the garrison work of each star system, the three fleets each brought 15,000 warships, a total of 45,000 ships, rushed to Rao.
