"Commander, the enemy fleet has a total of 324 warships, all of which have been destroyed. The remaining 694 warships are 0.8 light seconds away."
"Do I need to start jump interference now?"
More than eight minutes later, all the battleships in front of the first fleet were reduced to wreckage.
On the right side of Jiang Xingchen, Fu Wanting asked after reporting the results of the battle.
However...
"If we activate jump interference now, they will definitely fight to the death when they find that there is no hope of escape!"
"Although we now have an absolute numerical advantage, if we want to capture nearly 700 warships whose overall performance is no worse than that of the Zhurong class, we will also have to pay a high price."
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said.
Just as he said, even if 3,000 ships beat 700 ships, and the Zhurong-class battleships are no worse than the new warships of the Kerry Empire, there is no doubt that they will win.
but...
After all, there are 700 warships with similar combat power to the Zhurong class. If the opponent fights to the death, then I conservatively estimate that I will lose more than a hundred warships.
This is not the result Jiang Xingchen wants.
"Wanting, let me ask you, when is a fleet of a fourth-level civilization most vulnerable?"
"When is the fourth-level civilization fleet most vulnerable?"
Hearing this question, Fu Wanting was stunned for a moment and started thinking.
Soon...
"When preparing to jump?"
"That's right, it's time to prepare for the jump!"
When Fu Wanting spoke with some uncertainty, Jiang Xingchen smiled.
Except for weird things like the Federation, normally level four civilizations do not master hyperspace technology.
Therefore, the only thing they can use is jump technology.
When making a jump, the battleship must turn off the energy shield to avoid interference with the jump gravity field.
At this time, it is naturally the time when a fourth-level civilization fleet is most vulnerable.
"As I said before, the so-called tactics are essentially a psychological competition. You must first understand how the other party thinks, and then use it to counterattack on this basis!"
"So, how do the opposing commanders think?"
"Judging from the choice they made just now to leave hundreds of battleships behind in exchange for the escape of the rest of the battleships, the opponent's commander is a type who knows he can't win, so he will choose to give up one part and save the other."
"Of course, there is a premise here, that is, there is hope of escape!"
"If there is no such hope, then he will probably choose to fight to the death!"
"Therefore, we have to give him this hope, and then induce him to make a forced jump in front of us, regardless of casualties!"
On the side, listening to these words, Fu Wanting immediately understood what Jiang Xingchen was going to do.
"Understood, I will prepare people to make the jump jamming device ready to be activated at any time!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen smiled.
This shows that Fu Wanting has completely understood.
------
At the same time.
Kerry Imperial Fleet Office.
"Commander, the fleet has been completely destroyed. The human fleet is currently 0.8 light seconds away from us and is still within range."
"Where's the jump drive charge?"
"There are still 27 seconds left. Do you want to use the maximum distance jump immediately after completion?"
"Are you stupid, have you forgotten how we were tricked just now?"
"Commander, you are talking about jump interference..."
The adjutant was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
Yes, humans have jump interference technology, so trying to escape through jump interference is not feasible.
"Do you understand? If you want the fleet to jump directly, you have to close the shield first. And once the shield is closed, do you know what the result will be?"
"When a wave of human attacks come, without shields, we will lose at least half of our battleships."
"If you can escape completely after losing half of the battleships, then it will be worth it..."
"But the problem is, if humans carry out jump interference, after losing half of the battleships, we still can't escape because of the jump interference. That means we have lost half of the battleships in vain, which is meaningless."
Staring at his adjutant, Miles said angrily.
However, this left the adjutant a little confused.
"Commander, what should we do?"
"First let a battleship start the jump engine and test whether there is jump interference here. If not, we will escape directly at the cost of losing some battleships!"
"What if there is jump interference?"
"Is there any point in asking? Of course I will turn around and fight to the death!"
"Yes, Commander, I will make arrangements now!"
The adjutant nodded and replied.
At this time, the battleship's jump engine happened to be fully charged.
Under the arrangement of the adjutant, one of the battleships in the fleet started the jump engine and then successfully jumped away.
This scene made Miles a little confused.
After all, in his expectation, 99% of the time the human side would activate jump interference to prevent his fleet from leaving, right?
Have you forgotten?
No matter what the reason is, it is only proper to take this opportunity to run away!
"Quick, order all warships to start their jump engines and evacuate immediately!"
"Yes, Commander!"
------
On Miles' side, preparing to escape without any interference from the jump...
Star, bridge.
"Report, it has been detected that all warships in the enemy fleet have activated their jump engines."
"Immediately activate the jump interference device, and at the same time order all fleets to start attacking according to their assigned targets!"
"Yes, Commander!"
A few seconds later, when the Miles fleet was making a jump, the long-lost jump engine failed...
Appeared again!
At the same time, nearly 100,000 beams of light emitted by three thousand Zhurong-class battleships also hit hard.
Without the protection of energy shields, even these new warships would be extremely destroyed.
If you are lucky, you can hit a few more shots.
If you are unlucky and hit a vital part, you will be taken away with one shot.
At this point, Miles could not understand that he had fallen into humankind's scheme.
It's not that humans forgot to perform jump interference, but that they deliberately did not interfere, giving themselves the illusion that they could evacuate if there was a chance.
And just when his own fleet started to jump, Talent activated the interference and stopped his own jump at the last moment.
Its purpose is to have its entire fleet close its shields at the same time and become a group of targets without any protection.
What a good plan!
"All battleships, activate their shields immediately!"
"You can't run anymore, change your course and fight to the death with humans!"
Gritting his teeth, Miles shouted orders from the bridge.
But it is a pity that although he now has the idea of fighting to the death, he has lost this power.
In the wave just now, more than 300 of the 694 warships were directly destroyed, and nearly 200 more were damaged.
Therefore, at this moment, Miles still has in his hands less than two hundred battleships with full combat power.
That's not all.
Since the Imperial fleet was facing away from the Federation fleet at the moment, it took half a minute to complete the turn.
In other words, Miles had to withstand at least two waves of firepower from behind before he could fight against the human fleet with all his strength.
Until then...
There are already less than two hundred warships, how many can be left?
I'm afraid it would be nice to have a hundred ships.
Then one hundred ships versus three thousand ships, can they finally successfully kill a federal warship...
