"Colonel, the Ghost Fleet has entered the ambush zone!"
"Activate all mines and contact camouflage."
"Yes, Colonel."
The next moment, where the Ghost Fleet passed, there was a group of rubbles around it.
The surface of several small celestial fragments about three meters long suddenly exploded, revealing the metal bodies inside.
The same scene is happening everywhere around the Ghost Fleet.
The original silent state and the camouflage of the shell, coupled with the fact that Ghost had been focusing on the first fleet, prevented it from being discovered in time.
But at this moment, as tens of thousands of mines were removed from their camouflage, they were no longer silent.
For a time, the sirens in every ghost battleship suddenly sounded loudly.
All the mines have hit the fleet from all directions.
Even if the ghost's reaction speed is fast enough, it is impossible to intercept tens of thousands of close mines in an instant.
Soon, continuous explosions were raging all over the ghost fleet.
But after all, they are just some ordinary mines. If they want to defeat the shield and destroy the ghost battleship, they are still a little bit useless.
However, large-scale bombing, and intensive bombing in a small area, also had a temporary impact on the ghost detection equipment.
And then at this opportunity, ten missiles passed by silently.
When the large-scale intensive explosions stopped and the ghosts discovered these missiles, it was too late.
Ten terrifying white energy groups have risen in the fleet at this moment.
Except for a few battleships whose shields were still holding on, most of the battleships' shields were broken by this wave of attacks.
More than half of the battleships were severely damaged, and seven battleships were even directly destroyed.
And just then.
The cruiser group that had derailed and completed its turn had now circled around, pouring firepower towards the remaining fleet.
At this moment, there are only about a dozen warships whose shields have not collapsed.
However, although the shields of these ten battleships are still there, their shield integrity is basically less than 20%, let alone those battleships whose shields have collapsed or even been severely damaged.
Obviously, the final fate of the Ghost Fleet has been decided.
However, they did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, they used all their weapons to fight back, and even released all the ghost fighters.
More than ten minutes later.
"Colonel, all enemy ships have been destroyed."
"What about our losses?"
"The Houyi-class cruiser was severely damaged, three were slightly damaged, and the mecha force lost 729 raider mechas, of which 127 pilots were confirmed dead."
"Send engineering ships to carry out emergency repairs for the damaged warships, and at the same time search and rescue surviving pilots in the battlefield as quickly as possible."
"clear!"
Nodding, the adjutant immediately went to make arrangements.
Mu Qianshan frowned slightly.
Added up, there are eighty ghost battleships, and there are more than 800 battleships on our side, a full ten times the strength.
But what’s the result?
Eight warships were severely damaged, and more than 30 other warships were lightly or severely damaged.
The mecha troops experienced two air battles and suffered losses of more than a thousand units.
The number of dead soldiers in the entire fleet reached more than 2,000.
You know, these are only eighty ghost battleships, and even within a range of more than a hundred light years, hundreds of them have been discovered.
This battle...
I'm afraid it won't be easy to fight!
"Report, the formation of transition gravity waves has been detected, the number is one hundred, the direction is 1-7-2, and the distance is 2 light seconds."
At this moment, the radar officer's voice suddenly sounded in the bridge, with a touch of anxiety.
After finally getting rid of seventy ghost battleships, here comes another hundred?
"Battle alert, all fleets immediately leave the satellite orbit and quickly complete the formation..."
"Report, more than two hundred battleships have been detected behind the enemy fleet again. This is... the Star. Reinforcements have arrived!"
The next moment, an observation screen was retrieved by the radar officer and projected on the bridge.
That familiar figure is none other than the Federation's only Battle Star.
However, I have never seen what happened to the two hundred battleships behind it.
Involuntarily, everyone was a little confused.
But Mu Qianshan remembered one thing, Zhurong-class general-purpose battleship?
I have indeed heard that the military is building this new type of warship, but after all, Mu Qianshan is not a senior member of the fleet, so he doesn't know much.
"Colonel, the commander called and asked all our cruisers and battleships to go to coordinate xxx immediately to block the way of the ghost battleship."
"Execute immediately, notify the remaining fleet, stay here to continue cleaning the battlefield and search for survivors."
"clear!"
------
At the same time.
The two hundred Zhurong-class general-purpose warships led by the Star have already engaged the Ghost Fleet.
Both sides use the same energy weapons, but the Ghost Battleship mainly uses energy bombs, while the Zhurong-class general-purpose battleship mainly uses beam weapons.
For a while, the two sides were fighting back and forth in a lively manner.
The bridge of the Star.
"Report, based on the capabilities displayed by the Ghost Battleship, its comprehensive attack power is level 4.7, and its comprehensive defense power is level 4.2."
"Well, basically they are slightly higher than the Zhurong level."
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen also nodded.
The comprehensive capability classification of attack and defense is the latest set of standards developed by the federation.
According to this standard, the comprehensive attack power of the Star is 5.5 and the comprehensive defense power is 5.2.
Don't underestimate this improvement, which is only a few tenths, but in fact, there is absolutely a world of difference between the two.
Because the federation's grading standards are entirely based on civilization levels.
The Star's attack of 5.5 and defense of 5.2 have already entered the combat power category of a fifth-level civilization.
In other words, even if the Xingxing encounters a battleship of the fifth-level civilization, it will not be taken advantage of.
Of course, this refers to a one-on-one duel...
The 4.7 and 4.2 of the Ghost Battleship are still within the combat power range of the fourth-order civilization. This is a generational gap.
As for the Federation's latest Zhurong-class general-purpose battleship, its attack and defense scores are 4.5 and 4.1 respectively, which is slightly worse than the Ghost battleship in all aspects.
But after all, they are within the same generation. In actual combat, there will be differences, but they will not be too obvious.
In addition, there is a double numerical advantage at this moment.
Therefore, on the battlefield, the Ghost Fleet is completely at a disadvantage.
And the next moment, the straw that completely broke the Ghost Battleship...
appeared.
Behind it, twenty-five Houyi-class cruisers with intact combat capabilities and three Xingtian-class battleships were already in position and launched an attack.
This was already at a disadvantage, and it was flanked by nearly thirty warships from behind.
Immediately, there was a trace of commotion in the Ghost Fleet.
However, the commander of the Ghost Fleet was unwilling to be annihilated, so...
On the battlefield, the remaining 70 ghost battleships directly turned their engines to the maximum at this moment, even overloading them.
