257 Super minefield, the imperial fleet that crashed in
"Report, jump disruptor has been deployed!"
"start up!"
"Yes, the jump disruptor has been activated!"
"Send warships, don't use jump interference countermeasures, really interfere with the boundaries of the area!"
"clear!"
Soon, several warships broke away from the fleet and moved forward while trying to start the jump engine to see if they were still within the jump interference area.
An interference range of 50 light seconds will not be accurate to an error of one kilometer, but may even have an error of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers.
After all, a unit like the kilometer is really inconspicuous in the universe.
A few minutes later.
"Report, the boundary of the interference area has been confirmed, about 8,000 kilometers in front of our fleet!"
"Start deploying cold nuclear fusion bomb minefields, and continue to deploy 10,000 kilometers along the straight line between the enemy fleet and our fleet!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Remember, the speed is fast. The opponent only needs two jumps to reach us. We don't have much time!"
"clear!"
The next moment, the hundreds of warships carrying cold nuclear fusion bombs in the fleet immediately left the fleet.
Subsequently, according to the minefield laying plan formulated by the staff, cold fusion bombs were deployed at predetermined coordinates.
"Report, the enemy fleet has disappeared, and it is suspected that it has made a jump!"
"Continue to monitor and report immediately if discovered!"
"clear!"
More than two minutes later, Li Yao detected the Kerry Empire's fleet again.
At this moment, the distance is only three light years.
"How is the deployment of the minefield going?"
"23% completed, expected to be completed in 17 minutes."
"We don't have 17 minutes. After 8 minutes, no matter how much is completed, all warships will immediately jump to the designated assembly point."
"Yes, Commander!"
This is a race against time, and Jiang Xingchen must also leave some time to re-confirm his new position for the other party.
Therefore, Jiang Xingchen only gave eight minutes. After eight minutes, all battleships must leave and jump to the designated positions.
Time is passing by, and cold fusion bombs are being deployed one after another.
until...
Eight minutes later.
"All warships, evacuate immediately!"
"clear!"
------
At the same time.
Kerry Imperial Fleet.
The person responsible for commanding this fleet is Miles, a first-class fleet commander of the Empire.
"Commander, the human fleet has disappeared. It is likely that it discovered us and evacuated through the jump!"
"Can you confirm its latest location?"
"Found it. They retreated eight light years away and are currently eleven light years away from us!"
"Asshole! This is humiliating us!"
"Uh...what do you say, Commander?"
Hearing Miles' loud shout, the adjutant at the side was a little puzzled.
"Don't you understand yet?"
"Think about it, why do humans need to retreat eight light years, not seven light years or nine light years?"
"That's because the distance between us is three light years. Now after adding eight light years, it will be eleven light years, and we can jump up to ten light years."
"Do you understand? They are basically saying, look, you will always be light years away from us. Are you angry?"
"What is this if not humiliation?"
After hearing this, the adjutant suddenly realized.
These humans are so abominable!
"Commander, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Even if we are always one light-year away, we have to chase them hard. This way at least they won't have time to attack other areas."
"I understand, I will immediately re-plan the jump plan!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Miles felt aggrieved and waved his hand casually, not wanting to say anything else.
Half a minute later, the new jump plan has been planned, and the jump engine has also been charged.
Immediately, Miles issued a jump order of ten light seconds.
But soon, problems arose.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded loudly in the bridge.
"Commander, there is an unknown fault in the jump engine, and now we have been forcibly exited from the jump channel!"
"Damn it, that must be a human jump interference device. Could it be that before they leave, quickly search for suspicious targets around them. The human jump interference range should only be about ten light seconds, not too far away!"
"clear!"
Upon hearing the order, the radar officer immediately started operating.
However, after a few seconds, he was completely stunned.
I rubbed my eyes, trying to confirm if I had seen it wrong, but unfortunately, what I saw in the end was still the same result.
"Commander, it's not good, we are now..."
After realizing something was wrong, the radar officer immediately shouted loudly.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
White clusters of pure energy rose up one after another throughout the fleet, each one covering a range of hundreds of kilometers.
For more than a minute, this large-scale explosion caused by thousands of cold nuclear fusion bombs finally stopped.
"Report the losses quickly!"
Miles, who had escaped unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then his expression changed and he shouted.
In such a horrific attack, I don't know how much my own fleet has been lost. If it was a lot...
Then I might not be able to keep my position as a commander-in-chief.
In fact, it's not a bad thing if he can't keep his military position. What he fears most is that his Majesty will directly execute himself in a fit of anger.
"Commander, we have lost 1,785 warships, and 521 warships have suffered varying degrees of damage, of which 197 warships are completely paralyzed."
It's over...
After listening to the report, this was the first thought that flashed through Miles' mind.
But all this is far from over.
"Report, a fleet of 3,000 warships appeared on the flank of our ship, it is..."
"Yes, human fleet!"
boom...
Like a bolt from the blue, it instantly exploded in Miles' mind.
Of the 3,000 warships that were destroyed and paralyzed, the number reached 1,982 warships. Of the remaining 1,018 warships, hundreds of them were injured.
Not to mention, these soldiers under my command have only been exposed to this new warship for a few days, so it is difficult to say whether the combat effectiveness can be achieved by half.
In this case, how to start a war with the three thousand human warships!
"How long until the jump engine can be used?"
"517 seconds, Commander!"
"Let the damaged battleship stay behind, and the other battleships will immediately turn to retreat!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Seeing no hope of victory, Myers directly issued an order to exchange hundreds of damaged warships for the opportunity to evacuate the remaining hundreds of intact warships.
But, will Jiang Xingchen let him get his wish?
Not really!
For the First Fleet, whose entire fleet has hyperspace engines, it only relies on jump engines to escape...
Is this thinking too much?
According to Jiang Xingchen's words, that is...
What if I let you run for ten minutes first?
Therefore, Jiang Xingchen did not rush to pursue, but took his time and surrounded and suppressed the hundreds of warships responsible for breaking up the rear.
"Start the attack and resolve the battle within ten minutes!"
