1303, Lundili's Ending (Part 2)
At this point in the battle, the technical data of the Conqueror-class battleship is actually very clear to the Galactic Republic. Data including the number of main guns, main gun power, and shield capacity can be obtained quickly after repeated scanning on the battlefield.
Relatively accurate data.
The data of the high-energy directional ion pulse cannon, the most important technical parameter of the Conqueror-class battleship, was also recorded in Eucalyptus.
After all, the two super battleships, the Fang and the Plague, cast a huge shadow on the Galactic Republic at that time. Therefore, in order to speed up the construction, the second Conqueror-class ship Destruction was not significantly modified in all aspects.
, a lot of data is also very clear to the Republic military.
In particular, the Republic's military has also mastered these key data through multiple studies and scans, including the range, rate of fire, and pulse wave diffusion speed and range of the ion pulse cannon.
It should be noted that the high-energy directional ion pulse cannon used by the Conqueror-class battleship is not actually a light-speed weapon. The name of this weapon is preceded by 'directional', which is actually a definition of the properties of the weapon. Electromagnetic pulse
It is diffusive in nature, but if you want to make it directional, magnetic field constraints are required.
So in fact, the flight speed of the pulse emitted by the directional ion pulse cannon is equal to the moving speed of the electromagnetic field. This speed is actually not fast. At least in the hands of a top Jedi like Anakin Skywalker, it is still difficult to drive a spacecraft to maximum acceleration.
Can escape.
Therefore, in the battles near the planet Rendili these days, Lieutenant General Trinald Skarrid calculated the range of the opponent's Destruction battleship's directional ion pulse cannon to carry out the battle, and it worked repeatedly. Destruction
As soon as the No. 1 opened fire, he outflanked it, forcing the opponent's warships to retreat to cover the Destruction.

After all, the biggest weakness of the Conqueror class is that it has a large number of main guns but insufficient power. At the same time, the number of carrier-based aircraft is small, making it difficult to cope with the bombing of a large fighter group.
For a time, even when facing Severance Tann, a famous general who made the Galactic Republic military blush, Scared felt confident. He began to think that it was not that Tann was too strong, but that
Because the genius himself has not yet had a fair opportunity to compete with Tann.
Now the opportunity has come, and under direct confrontation, it seems that Tann is nothing more than that.
Therefore, Lieutenant General Skarrid was quite confident about the sudden change of Lundili's defense fleet this time. He did have the strength to match his confidence, and he immediately judged that the opponent's change of formation should be to use firepower.
The focus was on both sides of the formation, as if to cope with the tactical maneuvers on their side when the Destruction's ion pulse cannon fired.
"All battleships, keep their distance and move to the right wing! They want to divide their forces into two wings, so I will focus on attacking one side!" Lieutenant General Scared said sternly, "Crosso! Your position cannot be avoided! Stop advancing immediately
, all energy is supplied to the deflector shield and anti-pulse device, and prepare to resist the impact!"
"yes!"
However, just when he gave the order and his Republic Task Force began to maneuver tactically, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly an extremely bright flash came on!
"General! The enemy ship Destruction's ion pulse cannon has been detected and fired!!" a soldier in the sensor department screamed.
"What?!" Scared was shocked and rushed over, grabbed the soldier's hair and asked loudly: "According to the previous scan results, what is the charging rate of the Destruction's ion pulse cannon?!"
"If the Destruction were charging at the previous rate, they haven't even finished charging yet!" the soldier quickly replied.
"Fire when it's half charged?" Scared suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he suddenly thought, "Wait a minute! If it's only half charged, then the Destruction's steering direction has not turned to our expected direction.
Judgment position! Recalculate immediately!"
However, before he could finish his words, suddenly all the portholes of the battleship shone with an extremely dazzling light! Then all the electronic systems in the Knight-class Star Destroyer he was on began to flash violently!
"Asshole! The Destruction is coming in my direction! Increase the energy supply of the counterpulse system immediately!" Lieutenant General Scared said loudly.
Before he finished speaking, he only saw the adjutant pointing at the holographic combat star map and saying: "General! Something is wrong! The opponent's fleet formation has changed!"
Vice Admiral Scared suddenly turned around and saw that on the holographic combat star map, the situation of both fleets had completely changed!
According to the previous changes in the formations of both fleets, the Rendili defense fleet is unfolding the battleships into a four-claw shape with the Destruction as the core, while the Republic fleet is continuously spreading out the battleships and maneuvering all the battleships to one side.
If this trend develops, then it is likely that one wing of the Rendili defense fleet suffered a concentrated attack from the Republic fleet, and had to call back warships from several other directions to assist. As a result, the formation was once again disrupted, and they relied on destruction
The plan to attack the Republic fleet with its powerful directional ion pulse cannon will once again fail.
But now, the Destruction is firing earlier than expected! At this time, the Destruction's turn has not been completed. It is actually leaning to the other side of the Republic fleet formation, and at the same time, what seemed a bit messy before is
The Rendili defense fleet battleships that organized the attack had unknowingly entered a completely different attack position at this moment!
And while the Destruction was firing, the Rendili defense fleet assembled the five most powerful warships-four Victory I-class Star Destroyers and a Knight-class Star Destroyer that was previously captured by Darth Malsayir.
The ship directly launched a surprise attack on the Republic fleet! And the route they took to launch the surprise attack was the attack range of the ion pulse cannon that Skarrid and the others initially expected!
Now, as the ion pulse cannon fires before it is fully charged, the attack range is also reduced, which is equivalent to the direction in which these five Star Destroyers began to attack, which is exactly the direction that the Republic warships had avoided before!
Like a sharp sword, they pierced directly into the formation of the Republic's special service fleet, and used ion pulse cannons to restrict the movement of the Republic's flagship.
The formation of the Republic fleet was divided into two. About one-third of the warships were blocked by the Rendili defense fleet, while the remaining two-thirds of the warships were still maneuvering in one direction as planned, far away from the battlefield.
Getting farther and farther! If they want to support them, they must first complete the U-turn, and the other warships of Rendili Defense Fleet obviously cannot let them leave so easily!
The Destruction's firepower was fully activated! 500 medium-sized turbolaser cannons were pouring firepower crazily at the two Knight-class Star Destroyers on the Republic fleet's side! And the four Victory I-class ships and one captured Knight-class were aimed at
Six lone Jaeger-class battlecruisers opened fire fiercely!
In the direction of the main gun position above the Knight-class Star Destroyer, the 20 heavy turbolaser cannon turrets on the starboard side began to turn, aiming at one of the Jaeger-class! The Jaeger-class, which was facing the enemy, had only 4 in this direction.
The door turret can return fire!
Following the captain's order, the Knight-class 20 heavy artillery starboard odd-numbered turrets fired a salvo! Five seconds later, the even-numbered turrets fired again!
Two main gun volleys were fired, and the powerful power instantly shattered the Jaeger-class deflector shield!
At the same time, the Destruction battleship also deployed 180 turrets to aim in this direction. Although the densely packed medium-sized turbolaser cannons can only do limited damage to the deflector shield, they can damage the single-layer armor of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser.
Play a very significant effect!
Under the continuous bombardment, countless flames exploded from the upper body of the Jaeger-class ship. The main gun position on the port side was destroyed, and a large hole was blown out of the hangar platform. Thick smoke billowed out. The warship began to try to turn and escape.
But in the chaos, it crashed into another Jaeger-class ship!
