Before Nastasha's five fleets could merge with each other, the First Fleet had already completed the encirclement and suppression of four of the fleets at the cost of eight Zhurong-class battleships, and surrounded Nastasha's fleet.
Got up.
"Start attacking!"
Almost at the same time, Jiang Xingchen and Nastasha both gave the order to fire.
For a time, various energy beams and energy bombs continued to cross each other in the void.
At this moment, Jiang Xingchen did not dare to let the Zhu Rong class fire a salvo of main guns as before.
Otherwise, even if hundreds of battleships can be killed, they will still encounter a strong counterattack from the remaining ghost battleships. After all, there are not 200 ghost battleships here...
But 385 ships.
However, although they couldn't directly attack with the main gun, Jiang Xingchen still had a great advantage.
After all, in terms of overall number, it is almost three times that of the Ghost Fleet.
Therefore, he can disperse his troops calmly and then attack the enemy with crossfire from different angles.
In fleet battles in the interstellar age, facing the enemy head-on is always the direction with the lowest hit rate and the most ferocious counterattack.
The sides and back are the most attacking positions.
This side does not only refer to the two wings of the opponent's warship, but also the abdomen or the back, in short, it can be within a 360-degree range.
In this position, the area affected by bullets is the largest, and it is also the easiest to blow up if the shield is exhausted.
After all, the front is always the thickest part of a battleship's armor, often more than ten meters or even dozens of meters thick.
From the side...
It would be nice to have half the thickness.
As for the back, although the hit rate is the same as the front, it is very limited.
However, because many large weapons on the battleship have very limited firing angles and can only point forward, when chasing from behind, the weapons that can be used to counterattack are very limited.
Of course, this refers to the interstellar war of the fourth-level civilization. As for the battleships of higher-level civilizations, it is difficult to say whether the back is weak.
At this moment, Jiang Xingchen's strategy was to divide the fleet into three parts, and then form crossfire on the front and both wings of the Ghost Fleet, making it more difficult for the Ghost Fleet to evade.
"How about it, have you found out which Nastasha's flagship is?"
In the bridge, Jiang Xingchen asked.
Speaking of which, it's really hard to tell Ghost's flagship apart, because their warships are exactly the same in appearance and size.
It is also difficult to distinguish through its fleet command signals.
After all, there are still many differences between the two technologies.
Therefore, at this time, we can only rely on experience to judge.
"Commander, based on our observations over the past few minutes, we have a suspected target."
"From the beginning, the missing ghost battleship was not exposed to firepower, and the deployment of the surrounding battleships had obvious protection intentions."
"If nothing else happens, Nastasha should be on this battleship."
Not far away, the chief of staff was explaining while marking a ghost battleship in the battlefield model.
Jiang Xingchen also nodded.
He noticed this battleship just now. Whether it was the front or the side, there were always battleships guarding it and helping it block incoming attacks.
No matter how you look at it, it's very suspicious.
"Mark and avoid all firepower from the warship."
"Yes, Commander!"
------
Regardless of its military strength or fleet position, the Ghost Fleet is always at an absolute disadvantage.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, only a dozen warships were left.
Of course, Jiang Xingchen's side was not without losses.
Five battleships were blown up and sixteen battleships were severely damaged. Although it was nothing compared to Ghost, it was already a huge casualty for the Federation.
At this moment, Nastasha's remaining sixteen battleships were all severely damaged and completely paralyzed.
Jiang Xingchen did not give the order to directly blow up these battleships, because they formed a group, firmly protecting Nastasha's battleship in the middle, and the distance was very close.
If they continue to attack, they might kill Nastasha's battleship altogether.
"Commander, all the ports of those battleships have been destroyed. Even if space fighters can still be released, the efficiency will definitely be very low."
Standing on Jiang Xingchen's side, Fu Wanting reported.
"Release the mecha troops, destroy the close-defense weapons on those battleships, and block all places where fighters can be released."
"At the same time, let Han Xun and Zuo Wei be prepared. Once Lu Li has completely taken control of the situation, they will set out immediately to capture the Ghost Queen Nastasha."
Soon, after Jiang Xingchen's order was issued, more than two thousand mechas had flown out of the Xingchen one after another. Not only the Xingchen, but also the thirty-six Zhurong-class ships that served as the escort of the Xingchen were also released one after another.
Mecha troops.
In the end, a total of tens of thousands of Raider mechas took action under Lu Li's command.
The first step is not difficult at all. Facing the heavily damaged and paralyzed Ghost Battleship, it is very easy to destroy its close defense weapons.
In fact, more than 90% of these battleships, or even all of their close-defense weapons, are no longer usable.
But to be on the safe side, Jiang Xingchen asked Lu Li to lead the mecha troops and plow their shells again.
The second step is to deal with those ghost fighters that although the airport was destroyed, they were still slowly released through various methods.
And in the end, they completely blocked the outside of these battleships, and came out to blow up one of them.
At this time, countless assault ships also flew out from each battleship, and under the protection of the mecha group, they moved closer to the ghost battleship in the center one by one.
Originally, Jiang Xingchen expected that there would be a tough battle.
But in fact, when Han Xun and his troops rushed into the ship, they discovered...
The damage to Nastasha's battleship was more serious than imagined.
A large amount of oxygen leaked. Although the leak was sealed, the life-support system was completely damaged due to trauma.
In other words, the fleet is already in a very hypoxic state at this moment.
All the ghosts were leaning against the wall, or simply fell to the ground. Although they hadn't hung up yet, if they continued like this, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Soon, everyone arrived at the bridge and found that the situation here was the same as elsewhere.
At the same time, I also found the female ghost who was holding on to the seat with both hands and barely managed to keep from falling down.
Obviously, this is the Ghost Queen Nastasha.
This made Han Xun and Zuo Wei feel a lot more relaxed.
Although Nastasha resisted fiercely, she was already suffering from lack of oxygen, and after this strenuous exercise, she soon...
