!" Kabayo, commander of the Republic Task Force, roared loudly.
The five Knight-class Star Destroyers are at full firepower. Each Star Destroyer is equipped with 60 twin-mounted XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannons. Together, this is 600 guns! Compared to only 8 twin-mounted cannons.
The main gun of the Chasseur-class battlecruiser and the Knight-class Star Destroyer are equivalent to the firepower of 8 Chasseur-class ships!
The volley of 600 heavy-duty turbolaser cannons was so powerful that it was literally devastating.
Because the heaven and earth in the traditional sense, that is, the planet's atmosphere and surface rock and soil, are absolutely unable to withstand this level of bombing!
However, when such firepower fell on the Titan battleship Xuanwu, it disappeared without a trace, just like a mud cow entering the sea.
A dull green light emitted around the Xuanwu Titan battleship. When the turbolaser passed through this dull green light, the energy was directly neutralized in large quantities, and finally fell on the deflector shield of the battleship as if it was being tickled.
It didn't even create a ripple.
"Asshole..." Kabayo was sweating now, clenching his fists. He knew that even if there were 5 of the Republic's latest Knight-class Star Destroyers in his army, he would never be a match for the Xuanwu!
Compared with the previous Battle of Eriadu System, the current Commander of the Republic Fleet has long given up all illusions after a long period of simulation and research. Without an absolute superior force, it is impossible to shake the Xuanwu. Therefore.
They also have no illusions about taking any advantage on the Xuanwu.
But now, Cabayo had to bite the bullet and let his fleet rush forward to fight the Xuanwu head-on.
The five Knight-class Star Destroyers were still firing wildly. Countless flames exploded on the Xuanwu's shield, but the opponent remained motionless!
"Take off the fighter jets!" Cabayo gave the order.
The Jaeger-class battlecruiser, which was already ready for departure, immediately deployed its hangar platform and took off with a large number of combat secrets densely packed.
However, the hulls on both sides of the Xuanwu once again emitted a dazzling red light, and then the electronic equipment and energy equipment of almost all warships in the Republic fleet were interfered with at the same time! Not only that, the shells of those fighter jets also began to be eroded.
"It's the destruction matrix!
Let the fighter formations disperse as soon as possible!" Kabayo said loudly.
The destruction matrix is a very powerful electromagnetic interference field that can not only interfere with the electronic systems of enemy warships, reduce energy output and weapon charging efficiency, but also cause the enemy ship's armor to be continuously eroded and damaged.
If it is a capital ship such as the Knight class or the Jaeger class, it will be okay, but if it is a fighter jet, under this interference field, it will not be able to sustain it for too long and will be destroyed!
The Xuanwu is such a terrifying battleship. Not only can it make itself indestructible, it can also prevent its opponents from using its strongest firepower.
Under the circumstances, Xuanwu became difficult to shake.
"The capital ships continue to attack the Xuanwu! Other battleships disperse! Attack the Trade Federation's spaceport!" Kabayor issued the order according to the battle plan.
If we must say that the Xuanwu has any weaknesses, it is that the range that the terrifying combat systems on this Titan battleship can cover is not too wide, at least compared to the tens of thousands of kilometers of battlefields of the two large fleets.
It is said that Xuanwu's range of effect can only cover a small area of it.
Therefore, using high-mobility fast battleships to conduct large-scale detours is also one of the solutions proposed by the Republic's military research department.
At this moment, General Carbajo used his 5 Knight-class Star Destroyers and 20 Chasseur-class Star Destroyers as bait. After irritating the Xuanwu, he continued to stay here to act as human shields. Others included Aquitens.
The small and medium-sized battleships and fighter groups, including the class light cruiser, bypassed the Titan battleship and rushed towards the Trade Federation's spaceport.
A burst of bombardment!
The cargo loading and unloading spaceports of the Trade Federation cannot withstand such bombings, and the other battleships of the Fourth Civilization, including the Cole-class battlecruisers, are difficult to block the large number of fighter groups and central vehicles of the Galactic Republic due to insufficient numbers.
Small fast battleship.
If there are any other battleships of the Galactic Republic that have an advantage in performance among the battleships of both sides, then there is no doubt that the Aquitens-class light cruiser designed by Willix Blissex himself
Definitely one of them.
The combat performance of this 325-meter-long light cruiser, which is heavily equipped by the Galactic Republic, greatly exceeds the 344-meter Apocalypse-class light cruiser and the 290-meter Brown Bear-class heavy destroyer currently used by the fourth civilization. Of course, this is also because
This is because the 288-meter Enforcer-class heavy destroyers of the Fourth Civilization have not yet been put into large-scale deployment.
Such division of forces and harassment really made the Xuanwu battle group focus on one thing and the other, because this battle group did not have many battleships, and the five Dunov-class battlecruisers and Sova-class aircraft carriers also had to follow the Xuanwu to provide support.
.But just looking at the Cole class alone cannot deal with the Republic light cruisers and fighter groups flying around like locusts.
In a violent explosion, another Trade Federation spaceport was destroyed and exploded into countless pieces. Some Neimoidian transport planes swarmed out of the spaceports that were attacked, trying to escape.
, but all of them were killed. The Galactic Republic fighter pilots caught up with them and destroyed them one by one.
However, while achieving such a record, the price was that the five Knight-class Star Destroyers and 20 Jaeger-class battlecruisers suffered extremely heavy losses under the concentrated attack of the Xuanwu battle group.
In less than an hour of fighting, 9 Jaeger-class ships were destroyed, and the remaining warships were basically damaged to varying degrees.
"Don't stop! Continue to destroy the Trade Federation's spaceport facilities!" Kabayo roared loudly.
Just when he was about to lose his hold, a communication finally intervened, and he saw a Nemoyindian wearing a high hat saying in panic: "Please stop! Stop! Stop bombing our spaceport!"
We surrender... surrender..."
Cabayo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Want to surrender? Then you must first close the planetary shield and stop all resistance!"
The trade alliance executive was still hesitant, "Closing the planetary shield will..."
"Then I will continue to attack!" Kabayo said coldly.
"No! No! It's too difficult to turn off the planetary shield. We are willing to turn off all near-fire defense systems and orbital defense systems first..." said the Neimoidians.
"ASAP!"
"Yes Yes……"
Soon, the armed space stations and defense platforms that were still firing wildly stopped to resist. At the same time, the Xuanwu's attack became more fierce. The eight heavy pulse laser cannons equipped on the Titan battleship fired
Orange lasers continued to sweep across the Knight-class Star Destroyer.
Finally, the shield of a Knight-class Star Destroyer was broken, and the main gun group on the deck above the battleship was attacked by pulse lasers. It was immediately damaged and the battleship's combat effectiveness also dropped sharply.
Upon seeing this, Kabayo quickly sent a message to the rear.
A moment later, white light flashed violently in the space, and the huge 8,000-meter-long bodies of two Commander II-class dreadnoughts suddenly appeared, followed by 10 other Jaeger-class battlecruisers!
At the same time after leaving the hyperspace jump, the powerful main guns of the two Commander II-class ships opened fire on the Xuanwu Titan battleship! At the same time, the newly joined Jaeger-class battlecruiser also took off.
Many fighter jets.
They seized the current opportunity. The destruction matrix system of the Titan battleship Xuanwu had just stopped due to overheating and started a cooling cycle again. At this time, the fighter group could finally act unscrupulously!
Without the destruction matrix that could erode through the outer shell of a fighter jet within 10 minutes, the Republic's fighter jets were finally able to play their role. They rushed over like locusts, fought fiercely with the fighter jets taking off from the Separatist side, and destroyed the protons they carried.
All the torpedoes were launched.
Admiral Kourney was on one of the Commander II-class dreadnoughts, watching the battle situation coldly.
He would not think that he had the advantage, because from the beginning of the battle to the present, they had paid so many losses, and the opponent, not to mention the Xuanwu, even the Cole-class ones protected by the Xuanwu's group shield
None of the battlecruisers suffered much damage.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and only seven Cole-class ships were damaged to varying degrees. They were retreating towards the rear of the array and receiving repairs from the Xingzi-class maintenance drone mothership.
According to research by the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic, there are only two ways to defeat the Titan battleship Xuanwu. The first way is to use a large number of high-speed battleships to fight in a roundabout way, bypassing the coverage of the Xuanwu, and carrying out attacks on other parts of the battlefield.
Strike. The second way is to use superior forces or other super battleships to cause irreversible damage to the Xuanwu and its battle group in a short period of time, and then win the battle in one fell swoop.
It can be said that if the victory cannot be established one hour after the battle begins, then the result will only get worse if the battle continues.
Unfortunately, due to the poor hyperspace channel conditions between the planet Naboo and the planet Ennako, Admiral Kourney could only adopt such refueling tactics to confront the Xuanwu.
What a super battleship like the Xuanwu likes most is the opponent's refueling tactics.
In fact, many times, the commander himself knows the disadvantages of refueling tactics, but sometimes he still has to adopt them. Many of these are caused by objective reasons such as logistical supplies.
For example, Admiral Kourney is very helpless now. The development of the war situation is actually exactly as he expected. He simply cannot concentrate his superior forces to besiege the Xuanwu, and can only use refueling tactics to attack. In this way, he is even more
It can't even hurt a hair on the Xuanwu.
"Continue to attack the Xuanwu! Don't let it have the opportunity to reinforce the planet Ennako! Other warships, continue to bomb the Trade Federation's spaceport and planetary shield!" Admiral Kourney continued to order, "Inform General Kabayo, temporarily
Retreat and rest!”
"yes!"
New forces joined in, and General Carbayo's task force was finally able to retreat after paying a heavy price to serve as a human shield. The Republic fleet began to redeploy with two Commander II-class dreadnoughts as the core, and continued to engage in battle with the Xuanwu
.
"Is Lot-Dude okay there?" Admiral Kourney has always maintained communication with Governor Lynch-Hauser.
"He said that the management staff on Ennaco Planet have been shaken. As long as we put some more pressure on them, he can make them surrender naturally." Lynch-Hauser also looked nervous.
Kourney nodded, turned around and said loudly: "Notify the planet Ennaco with a clear message! Put down your weapons immediately, lower the planetary shield, and declare neutrality! We will guarantee to abide by the principle of neutrality and not conduct any military operations on the planet Ennaco!
Otherwise, our fleet will rather perish together with the planet!"
"Yes!" The communication soldier immediately sent out a communication.
But there was still no response from the planet Ennaco.
"Lot-Dude said that the pressure we put on it was not enough! Planet Ennaco still believes that the Xuanwu can protect them." Lynch-Hauser said, "There is no other way. Let's go all the way!"
Kourney nodded gloomily.
The two Commander II-class dreadnoughts began to turn around and flew towards the planet Ennaco despite the firepower of the Xuanwu Titan battleship. Moreover, the powerful main guns no longer attacked the Xuanwu, but turned their muzzles and began bombing.
Planet Ennaco!
During this process, the Xuanwu and its battle group could not just watch from the sidelines. They poured all their most powerful firepower into it!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Commander II's main cannon bombarded the planetary shield, creating an extremely strong ripple.
The planetary shield equipped on the planet Ennako is not a very powerful one. It is mainly used to defend against pirates. Under the attack of two dreadnoughts, it was overwhelmed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lasers and missiles continued to fall on the battleship, causing bursts of dull explosions and violent vibrations. Admiral Kourney stared at the projection of the holographic star map and said through gritted teeth, "This should be enough!"
"General! There is communication access again from the direction of Planet Ennaco!" the communication soldier said loudly.
Admiral Kourney felt that the big stone in his heart finally fell, and he quickly said: "Take it over!"
The Nemoyindian wearing a high hat appeared again in the holographic projection. He put his hands on his chest in the unique posture of the Nemoyindians, looking extremely cowardly.
"I am the director of the planet Ennako..." The Nemo Yindia looked horrified, "I am communicating again, with sincerity and fear. I want to say... say..."
The expression on his face suddenly became strange, revealing a sarcastic sneer, "How could Planet Ennaco compromise with a group of dying people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the radar department, "General!"
Short hyperspace jump within the galaxy detected!"
