400 melee(1/2)
"Lord Earl, after this warp speed, we will be able to escape the gravitational turbulence of this pulsar. From now on, we will briefly enter a stable star area, and finally reach the star area near the destination."
In the center of the Sapphire Galaxy is a pulsar that emits dazzling blue light, hence the name Sapphire Galaxy. The pulsar releases a powerful electromagnetic field at any time, which can interfere with man-made signals, making it easier for the fleet to hide.
"Very good. Once we are out of the shadow of this galaxy, the most dangerous part of the journey is left. There may be scouts from Weigel's fleet nearby, so we must be vigilant.
Don't linger on the road, rush all the way to join the main force of the family in Wright's hands, and we will be safe."
Most of the Marsh family's secrets were on board. No matter how sophisticated the old earl was, he would inevitably be on tenterhooks and give a few more instructions while his face was calm.
In the final analysis, the accompanying escort force was still too small.
He brought all the available cruisers and guards in his family during this trip, but he did not have a battleship, which made the force at his hands a bit weak and extremely insecure.
This time he brought with him all the elites of the family. They paid great attention to the instructions of the family leader and monitored everything around them with all their energy.
Just when the immigrant fleet was about to sail out of the Sapphire Galaxy, a large white light suddenly flashed at the entrance to the channel at the edge of the galaxy. Amid the shock and anger of the Marsh family members, a huge Vegel fleet broke away from the warp speed and arrived in an instant.
It firmly blocked the way forward for the Marsh family fleet.
Amidst the piercing sirens, Earl Coote turned pale and wanted to roar but swallowed it back alive.
He can't panic at this time.
"Calm down!
Immediately order cargo spaceships No. 8 to 12 to move forward to serve as a bunker, and the escort fleet will intercept the Weigel people on the spot. The other ships will turn around and evacuate immediately along the same route!"
The family members brought by Earl Coote were extremely loyal. More importantly, their family members were all on the five immigrant ships. Therefore, after Coote issued an almost fatal order, several abandoned transport ships and convoys were still there.
He rushed forward without hesitation.
The battle was about to break out, and this vastly different battle quickly became intense. Under the mysterious blue space, bright lines of fire and light groups stretched for thousands of kilometers.
The environment of this sapphire galaxy is very unique.
In fact, in addition to being unable to communicate conventionally, use radar, or travel at warp speed here, the spacecraft shield is also unavailable.
This resulted in a rather unique way of fighting the fleet here.
A simple summary is - fighting each other in the face.
Because the sensor fails, the target will miss if the firing distance is too far, and the guided weapon becomes garbage.
The communication equipment failed, so the spacecraft could only rely on light signals to communicate with each other. During the battle, they were far away and could not see what their own people were saying.
Both sides have no shields, so the artillery fire after the battle is all about punching and punching, depending on which side has stronger firepower and harder armor.
These changes in the rules of engagement have undoubtedly amplified the strength gap between the two warring parties, turning the Marsh family's resistance into a fantasy. The four Blood Blade battleships of the Weigel fleet are existences that they cannot penetrate at all.
and,
The inability to warp here also limits the escape of the Marsh family. They can only use the conventional engine of the spacecraft to evacuate. The warp engine of the cargo ship may be very fast, but the conventional engine is as slow as a tortoise.
After all, a good engine means a simultaneous increase in cost, quality, and volume, making it too luxurious to use on a cargo ship.
It was precisely because of the special environment here that the Weigel people chose the ambush point here. It can be said that if no one disrupts the situation, the Marsh family's fleet will be unable to fly.
"How could this happen... This is a premeditated ambush. How could the other party know the specific movements of the fleet..."
Watching the cursors representing his own cruisers disappear one by one, Count Coote gradually despaired. He didn't even know that he had been betrayed by his good son.
At this moment, his mind was in a mess and he could no longer think of any way to reverse the situation.
Now only hyperspace communication is available on the ship. He has asked his son for help, but according to the original plan, Viscount Wright's response fleet is three galaxies away from here and cannot catch up with him in a short time.
Even if they can come, how can 4 Jaeger-class ships fight against 4 Blood Blade-class ships?
Could it be that this huge family fortune will be ruined in my own hands today?
While he was in a trance, another Arquitectus-class ship came to an end. The family members on the ship were very bloody. They drove the burning battleship into the Vegel cruiser beside them, and finally turned into a ball of fire.
In just ten minutes, half of the more than 20 cruisers he brought had sunk.
The enemy fleet was only slightly injured. The opponent even walked around a few cargo ships that were used as bunkers. They would rather take a few more shots than take them into their pockets.
This shows that the Weigel people did not take the Marsh family's desperate counterattack seriously at all.
This is also true. The fleet that Earl Coote left behind was delayed for less than half an hour at best, and then began to collapse.
The remaining cruisers were rushed forward by the Vegel battleship. The fierce gunfire paralyzed their power, and then a large number of nail-like landing craft ejected towards the paralyzed ship, hammering into the interior of the hull. A large number of fully armed maintenance personnel poured into the cabin.
Pirates of Gorr.
"Master, the escort fleet cannot be stopped. 13 ships have been completely destroyed and the rest have been paralyzed. The ships are being invaded by the enemy! What should we do?"
Count Coote's flagship is the only remaining cruiser in the fleet, and it is also the most maneuverable among the fleeing fleet. If they abandon everything and escape the same way, the Weigel people probably won't make trouble for a small cruiser.
.
The captain anxiously asked the old count what he meant. He hoped that Kurt would abandon the slow transport ship and escape alone.
Earl Coote's heart completely sank to the bottom, his expression management was on the verge of losing control, and his face could not hide the despair and ferocity.
It's over...it's all over...
Finally, Count Coote sighed and was unable to speak:
"I order to give up..."
"Master, there is a situation!"
Count Coote's words were suddenly interrupted. He looked at the captain angrily. The captain's face was uncertain, and he quickly said: "The optical sensor detected an unknown flash behind the Weigel fleet and is analyzing it..."
"What flash, spacecraft tail flame?"
Earl Coote's brain was a little down at this time, so what he asked was a bit superficial.
The experienced captain didn't pay attention. He quickly retrieved the images collected by the optical sensor and was a little shocked:
"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it seems to be the band that appears when the hyperspace window is expanded... It's true, someone is using this as a coordinate to perform a hyperspace jump! It's very large... It's an entire fleet!"
The captain of the Marsh family didn't know what he was excited about. It might be the expectation of seeing changes in a desperate situation, or he simply wanted to see the Weigel people suffer.
It is obvious that this mysterious fleet that is about to arrive does not belong to the Weigel people in front, otherwise they would have come together long ago.
Who could it be...
After more than ten seconds, the answer was revealed. It was a mysterious fleet with inconsistent warship styles. Not only that, the symbols that appeared in the fleet were also very different.
More than one force, a mixed army?
Earl Coote and his captain were both confused and curious. They now had a bit of a throwaway mentality. Anyway, they had already prepared for the worst. No matter what the outcome was, they would most likely die.
So they observed the mysterious fleet that suddenly arrived with great interest, hoping that the other party would bring them some different kinds of excitement.
They were lucky, and their wish soon became a reality, but the stimulation was a bit too intense.
…
Combined fleet flagship Tianshu, inside the battle command center.
"Haha, the timing and position calculated by Yutu to jump out are just right. It can save us a lot of effort. Let's get started!"
Lu Feng ordered calmly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The Weigel fleet in front of us belongs to the lord who covets the Qianyan Galaxy. Although we haven't found out who it is yet, it is definitely right to cut through the mess quickly and cut off one of his arms first.
There is no problem of provocation and enmity at all. The other party is coming to the Qianyan Galaxy. This enmity has already been forged long ago. If the two sides are determined to fight to the death, it is better to start a war in advance and take the initiative.
As long as the opponent loses this main fleet, it remains to be seen whether there will be follow-up attacks.
…
"Target, enemy Bloodblade-class battleship, forward, 13-22A, attack number set to No. 1, particle beam cannon 80% charged, fire!"
Because the battlefield was chosen by Lu Feng long ago, the specific environment of the Sapphire Galaxy has already been investigated clearly.
After the Tianshu battleship left hyperspace, the main reactor energy surged, the hyperspace drive energy returned, directly bypassing the shield system, and was all transferred to the weapon system, and the main gun energy was instantly filled.
The same was true for the sister ships Tianquan and Yuheng. The bows of the three giant ships simultaneously lit up with bright green light, and in front of the black main guns, there seemed to be flying green light clusters converging inward.
As early as when the combined fleet appeared, the Weigel people's intelligence started to sound like crazy. Although their attention was always focused on the fleeing Marsh family, the passive optical sensors still discovered the sudden abnormal flash.
The experienced Weigel people turned the ship around in panic, hoping to meet the enemy from the bow.
However, their fleet formation at this time had already been stretched into an extremely narrow shape due to the pursuit of the Marsh family. The fast cruiser had rushed thousands of kilometers away and was entangled with the only remaining Aquitens class of the Marsh family.
The remaining battlecruisers and battleships were concentrated at the edge of the battlefield, with their bows pointing neatly at the battlefield ahead. The hulls were staggered forward and backward, and were randomly arranged for more than ten kilometers, like a long snake of different thicknesses.
This is related to the fact that most of the Weigel people are not from a professional background. Although they are experienced and courageous, their fighting style is informal and they will not deliberately maintain a neat formation during normal operations.
Therefore, when the enemy suddenly appears behind the fleet, the crowded battleships will inevitably experience some confusion and collision due to the crowded space.
Normally, this would only allow them to take a few shots at most, and the shield would protect them from any pain or itch.
But when three intense green beams of light descended, they realized in horror that they now had no shield and could not stop the three devastating main cannons.
The next moment, three beams of light converged on target battleship No. 1.
The target battleship had just turned halfway at this moment, and the raging high-energy particle flow instantly broke through its side armor, and then invaded all the way to the interior, melting all the way, burning everything, detonating energy, igniting ammunition, vaporizing materials, and finally the remaining power was not exhausted.
of spewed out from the other end of the hull.
The Blood Blade-class battleship was originally slender, but at this moment, it was blasted directly through three particle cannons.
To be continued...
