The Alliance's remaining main forces, truth be told, consist only of the Ronglin and Yunluo, two Dragon-Snake Class Battleship Cruisers.
Of the Alliance's six battlecruisers, the Wing is under repair, Steelwing and Korolya were lost in the Battle of Bowang Sea, and now the only fast ships available are these two Dragon-Snakes combined with the already stationed Fury Shrike, making a total of just three.
Such limited firepower isn't nearly sufficient to confront the opposing fleet head-on.
Even with Gu Hang, this remains true.
One Imperial battleship paired with three Dragon-Snakes is easily capable of obliterating three battlecruisers even without its shields.
Only when you add the Blood Shark's Ghost Evil Shark can their direct combat capabilities barely break even.
Moreover, there are tactical points in this battle worth noting.
