Standing in the luxurious bridge command area of the Emperor-class battleship Hymn of Courage, Corsaro Khan was using his sharp eyes to examine the information sent back from the front and the three-dimensional image of the enemy fleet. His left hand gently
He was stroking the beard on his chin, and his right hand was pressing the horse head-shaped handle of the crescent scimitar at his waist, while his biochemical falcon occasionally made strange sounds on the stand.
"Jufu is indeed a smart bastard."
After a long time, he uttered his evaluation contemptuously.
"Most of the ships he chose were clippers and small boats. He knew our combat style very well. He divided nearly two hundred ships into five parts, keeping a distance that can support each other and disperse immediately. When attacking, he can
Encircled by two wings, you can escape in all directions when retreating. Ha, it seems that he has carefully studied the tactics of penetration and drilling. I really want to catch him and open his depraved head to see what changed such a person.
He should be a fighter with a bright future."
"Zhu Fu has made it clear that he does not intend to fight us head-on."
A warrior wearing half-red and half-white armor walked up to Corsaro Khan. On his left shoulder was the symbol of three lightning bolts surrounding the skull, which represented that he came from the Storm Lords Chapter, and he was the one sent by this Chapter.
The representative heading to the Maelstrom is Captain Hasdrubal. The most striking feature of this captain is that he carries a large number of Orc fangs.
As a warband established during the second founding of the army, the Storm Lords have always maintained a strong sense of competition with the White Scars. They often compete with their parent group for honors and are known for their reckless victory.
But this does not mean that their relationship with the White Scars is not good. In fact, this kind of competition was advocated by the former original body, and the most famous example of the group was its participation in the former Beast Wars. It is also for this reason that the group later became
He was famous for his hobby of hunting Ork leaders, and the processed heads of slain Ork warlord bosses were lined up on the walls of the Chapter's fortress monastery.
They came to the Maelstrom this time because they heard about Zhu Fu, the former traitor of the war group. This is a stain they have been trying to erase.
"This seems to be an attempt to delay. If we don't take the initiative to attack, he will definitely not take the initiative to attack."
The corners of Corsaro's lips curled up slightly.
"He is Abaddon's dog now. He will definitely not sincerely sacrifice his life for Huron. He now wants to preserve his strength and strive to take a bite out of Huron's corpse after his death. Maybe he also plans to replace Huron.
In Lun’s position, I will be the Pirate King of the Maelstrom and break away from the Black Legion to go it alone.”
"Such a chaotic hyena is really inexhaustible."
Captain Julio of the Marauders Chapter let out a low curse.
"Then let him become a carrion on the high cliffs of Chegoris."
Kosaro Khan chuckled noncommittally, and then stretched out his hand to "drag" the fleet's situation in front of him in the monitor.
The size of their fleet looks large, but its actual combat capabilities may be the weakest. The key is that their main ships include 4 Armageddon-class battlecruisers and 6 Vengeance-class large cruisers, which account for almost
half of the battleship.
Although the Armageddon-class battlecruiser bears the title of a battlecruiser, this type of ship is actually improved on the basis of the Moon-class. Its weapon configuration is also similar to that of the Moon-class, except that the ship's spine
The additional installation of two light lances also enhances the weapons on the ship to a battleship-level range. The result is a moon-class cruiser with firepower "close to" that of an old battleship. However, due to tonnage limitations, such a "small ship with a
There will undoubtedly be many problems with the "cannon" transformation.
First of all, the internal space of the ship is compressed to the limit, which results in its safety redundancy being almost reduced to a minimum, and some airtight compartments are occupied, making it easy for catastrophic consequences if the hull ruptures.
Secondly, although the Armageddon-class battlecruisers are barely equipped with battleship-level weapons, their reactors cannot reach the level of real battleships. They can only rewire the power from the ship's main plasma reactor through power relays, resulting in a large number of
The output is squeezed by the weapon system, reducing the speed of this model to less than two-thirds of the moon level.
Moreover, its scanning array and aiming system can only barely touch the edge of a real battleship, and it cannot really shoot at the farthest distance during artillery battles. To be effective, its actual combat distance is actually about the same as that of the moon level. (No need to complain.
, this is Dai Ying’s magical shipbuilding idea)
As for the six Revenge-class ships, there is actually no big problem. The main problem is that they are too old.
The existing Revenge class is a product of the Empire's Great Expedition era. Its design ideas and combat ideas are relatively old, and its engines and reactors are also relatively poor. The most important thing is that it has no bow armor, and its speed is too slow. Therefore, although
There are a large number of them in existence, but most of the Retaliation-class remain in the Empire's reserve fleet.
In addition, the Emperor-class battleship itself is also a slow guy. Coupled with this bunch of old ships and slow ships, the entire battle line of the Corsaro fleet was slowed down to an unbearable level.
For the White Scars, who emphasize speed and maneuverability, it is almost an insult to be crowded with a bunch of slow boats. If you are not aware of it, you may think that there is some conflict between Corsaro and Sosh.
But in fact, this fleet was requested by Corsaro himself. Although Soshyan did have his own ideas, he would consult the main leaders and commanders before deploying.
Corsaro's request is actually very simple. In terms of quantity, the Empire's regular warships are definitely not as many as the red pirates' modified ships. Therefore, even if they have a high-speed fleet, at most they will only defeat the opponent and turn it into a pursuit battle. If they want
To truly inflict heavy damage or even completely annihilate your opponent, you have to change your thinking.
Opposite the Imperial Squadron, which is dominated by low-speed heavy gunships, Zhu Fu, who has a large number of fast ships, undoubtedly has the initiative in mobility. For a seasoned predator, this is undoubtedly an opportunity and a temptation.
.
Just like a hunter who sees a slow herbivorous beast, although he knows that he may be injured or even killed in the opponent's desperate counterattack, he may still be unable to resist such temptation.
Moreover, the Emperor-class battleship itself uses fighter jets as its main means of attack, so this flagship poses much less of a threat.
Taking into account various factors, Corsaro's move has only one effect——
Ask Zhu Fu not to run, or to not let the opponent run away when they meet, but to create an "opportunity" for the opponent to attack.
Another point is that the naval combat style of the Storm Lord is basically the same as that of the White Scars. As a former sergeant of the Storm Lord, Zhufu must be very familiar with the tactics that Corsaro may use, so the old method will definitely not be effective. It must be
