"Brigadier General, you have exited the jump state."
"Search for surrounding enemies."
"Searching... 1 target suspected to be a fleet has been found within 1 light-year range, and 6 targets suspected to be a fleet have been found within 10 light-year range."
After some operations, the radar official reported.
This data is much less than what Mu Qianshan expected.
But considering that the Kaili Empire concentrated 6,000 warships on the previous battlefield.
Well, now this situation is understandable.
"Brother, since there are no enemy ships around now, why not take advantage of this moment and run away?"
"Anyway, even if the hyperspace engine is used, they won't know."
On the side, Liu Tao asked with some confusion.
However...
"Our mission is not to escape from the opponent's hands, but to lead them away from the final combat location."
"If I leave now, they probably won't chase me, or they won't know where to chase me for a while, so I have to give them enough motivation."
After Mu Qianshan said this, Liu Tao suddenly remembered.
Indeed, the purpose is not to escape...
"Then the ten battleships you left behind are..."
"Yes, that is bait. Not just those ten ships. In the next ten days and a half, I will leave some warships every time, maybe 2 or 3, maybe 7 or 8!"
"I understand, you are trying to give them the illusion that as long as they continue to chase you, they will eat you bit by bit!"
"That's it. Otherwise, no matter how stupid they are, they wouldn't have been chasing after you for so long, right?"
Mu Qianshan smiled and said.
If you want people to catch up thousands of light years, you have to give them some hope, right?
"Report, the generation of gravitational waves has been detected, the number is 300, and it is 0.3 light seconds away from us!"
At this moment, the radar officer's voice suddenly sounded.
"Command the fleet to open all gun doors and wait for the order to fire!"
"Yes, Brigadier!"
A few seconds later, three hundred imperial warships appeared in front of Mu Qianshan.
"Open all guns!"
"clear!"
The naval guns that had finished charging ahead of schedule all roared.
Thousands of beams of light streaked across the void and struck the Imperial fleet 0.3 light seconds away.
However, the result this time was not too great. After all, there had been a sneak attack before, so the imperial fleet immediately raised its shield as soon as it completed the jump.
Except for some battleships that were hit by multiple missiles at the same time, the rest of the battleships were able to survive.
Most of these warships that were hit and destroyed by multiple hits were frigates and destroyers.
As for the empire's cruisers and battleships, they can basically carry at least seven or eight rounds.
"Report, 17 enemy frigates, 5 destroyers, and 1 cruiser were destroyed!"
"Continue to fire, but pay attention to the remaining level of your own shield. Once it falls below 50%, immediately evade behind the other warships."
"clear!"
More than ten seconds later, the fleet began a new wave of attacks, and the imperial fleet also began to fight back.
For a time, various beams and energy bombs intersected repeatedly between the two sides.
But overall, Mu Qianshan has an absolute advantage.
After all, among the 300 battleships of the Kerry Empire, except for 3 battleships and 10 cruisers, the rest are frigates and destroyers.
Whether it's overall attack power or defense power.
Compared with the ninety Zhurong-class general-purpose warships, there is a big gap.
"Report, the other five imperial fleets within ten light years have just disappeared from the deep space radar scans, and are suspected of entering a state of transition!"
"Ignore it and continue to increase the firepower!"
"Yes, Brigadier!"
Now that one of the fleets has arrived, the precise coordinates of his location must have been sent to the other five.
This has been expected for a long time.
In addition to the first wave of attacks, Mu Qianshan consciously focused on the Kerry Empire cruisers and battleships in subsequent attacks.
After all, although frigates and destroyers are numerous and troublesome, they do not pose much threat to themselves in a short period of time.
But cruisers and battleships are different. If you are not careful, or the battleship is unlucky, too much firepower will be concentrated at the same time.
That may cause losses.
More than a minute and seven or eight rounds of fire later.
There are more than ten warships on Mu Qianshan's side, but because their shield integrity was too low, they were moved to the rear of the fleet.
As for the Imperial Fleet, in addition to the 23 ships that were initially destroyed, another 72 ships were killed, and the total battle losses exceeded 30%.
"How long will it take for the jump engine to recharge?"
"Six minutes and 17 seconds, Brigadier!"
"Order the fleet to immediately form an assault formation and launch a forcible assault on the Kerry Empire fleet ahead!"
"Yes, Brigadier!"
Even if it is ninety Zhurong-class battleships.
Even among the battleships of the Empire, there are not many cruisers and battleships.
But once the number of frigates and destroyers reaches thousands, they will also be a huge threat.
Therefore, Mu Qianshan would not stay here stupidly, waiting for the five surrounding imperial fleets to jump over and make dumplings for him.
At this time, the best way is to defeat them one by one.
Of course, the distance between them is too close, and there is no space or time to attack each one.
So, this won't work.
However, although it cannot be defeated individually, it can use its absolute advantage over a single fleet to use it as its own shield to block the attacks of the other fleets.
And this is what Mu Qianshan is planning to do now.
Originally, the two sides were approaching each other while exchanging blows.
At this moment, Mu Qianshan directly used the maximum combat speed to press forward, so that the two sides were approaching even faster, and it was even less than 0.1 light seconds at this moment.
Half a minute later.
Ninety Zhurong-class battleships fiercely charged into the array of the imperial fleet.
At the same time, two imperial fleets, also consisting of 300 warships, jumped here.
Its position was almost as expected by Mu Qianshan. It was completely based on the formation of encirclement and annihilation.
One is on the flank of its original position, and the other is at the rear.
But at this moment, Mu Qianshan's fleet is no longer there. In other words, they have surrounded and annihilated Lonely.
Although it was still within shooting range, the problem was that Mu Qianshan had already entered the enemy's position.
And at this time, unless they bombard their own people as well, they won't be able to attack at all.
Another half minute passed, and the fleet directly penetrated the imperial array.
As a result, the imperial fleet, which still had more than a hundred warships left, was in an embarrassing position.
They happened to be in the middle of Mu Qianshan's fleet and several other imperial fleets!
result...
Mu Qianshan could turn around and fire without any scruples.
