466 Channel defense battle, pioneering fleet on the road
"Report, the energy response at the channel mouth continues to fluctuate."
"Report, the affiliated civilization fleet has been dispatched. It is expected to start the jump in 7 seconds and enter the defense line."
"Report, there is an unknown failure in quantum communication!"
...
Unknown failure in quantum communication?
That's right, they are here!!
"Start the space map communication, contact the military department immediately, and report the situation here!"
"Yes, legion commander!"
Before the fleet even came out, communication interference started.
I have to say that this move is indeed very effective against civilizations below level five, or those that have just been promoted to level five.
But for today's federation...
But no longer have it.
Over the years, space communication technology has completely matured. Although it has not yet spread to every warship, every fleet now has a large number of warships equipped with space communications deployed.
These battleships can be used as transfer stations. After receiving the commands conveyed by the base camp's own space communication, short-range laser communication can be used to disperse the information to each battleship.
"Legion Commander, here we are!"
"Show me the image!"
"Yes, legion commander!"
The next second, an image appeared on the bridge.
In the picture, at least two thousand warships slowly flew out of the huge passage.
"It is indeed these guys. Is the attached civilization fleet in place?"
"Everything is in place!"
"The attack has begun, tell them not to be afraid of energy consumption!"
"Yes, legion commander!"
At the same time, hundreds of light seconds away, it was only ten light seconds away from the channel entrance.
Millions of United Type I battleships suddenly roared.
Countless attacks enveloped the area in an instant.
The United I-type battleship is indeed a bit stretched.
However, its hip-stretching performance is due to the fact that it does not have a space shield.
In terms of round weapons, every United I-type battleship has a space penetrating cannon, although it is a castrated version.
But what is castrated is only the range, charging efficiency, etc.
In terms of power, there is actually no such thing as castration.
After all, this is not a weapon from the old era. You can also charge more or less powder, or reduce the power of the naval gun.
This is a space attack. Except for the space shield, nothing can block its attack.
Although, those battleships in the third-class legions of the Silver Light Empire also have space shields.
But there are too many combined battleships on the defense line.
A million ships gathered to fire two thousand ships.
Even the battle stars of the Federation cannot bear it.
One battleship after another was blasted in the air, and even those that were not blasted had countless holes penetrated in the hull.
The internal air leaks wildly, and in severe cases, it can even lead to direct paralysis.
"Legion Commander, the first salvo attack destroyed 1,576 enemy ships!"
"Continue to attack and destroy them all."
"Yes, legion commander!"
At this moment, the millions of joint battleships on the defense line have begun to recharge and prepare for the second round of strikes.
But they weren't ready yet.
But the other party made the first move.
Standing in the bridge, Luo Yu could clearly see that in the battlefield observation image, the space where a joint battleship was located suddenly became distorted, giving people the illusion of blurred vision.
A few seconds later, when this distortion disappeared and everyone looked over again, they all took a breath.
At this moment, the picture is no longer a joint battleship, but a mess.
Sure enough, as long as they are space attacks, every type of attack is very terrifying.
Fortunately, the concentrated fire just now killed most of the opponent, so this counterattack does not pose a great threat to the fleet on the defense line.
Only more than two hundred battleships were destroyed.
However, things are not that simple.
"Legion Commander, the second batch of enemy fleets appeared from the unknown channel, numbering 2,000."
"Start the starry sky defense chain, and at the same time send orders to the first cluster of affiliated civilizations to continue output!"
"Yes, legion commander!"
------
A few minutes later.
Military virtual conference room.
Commander-in-Chief Mu Zhengfeng and Chief of General Staff Gao Tianyang were already sitting among them, as if waiting for someone.
The next second, Jiang Xingchen's figure was projected.
"commander!"
"Xingchen, do you know the situation on the side of Sextant A?"
"I know, but the details are unclear."
Jiang Xingchen nodded and said.
Indeed, he knew that the fleet of the unknown civilization had arrived at Sextant A again and had begun fighting with the defenders.
But he really didn't know the details of the battle.
After all, Mu Zhengfeng himself has just read the report that Luo Yu has returned.
"Very good. You can learn more about the details on the way. What you have to do now is to prepare the pioneering fleet and set off in the shortest possible time."
"Yes, Commander!"
After nodding, Jiang Xingchen exited the virtual conference room directly.
After all, this was not a regular military meeting, and Mu Zhengfeng had given an order, and he had to complete it in the shortest possible time.
"Ling Xiao, the first to second legions, the directly affiliated legions, and the elf legions gathered urgently, and the combat readiness level of the pioneering fleet was adjusted to 1."
"Yes, Commander!"
Nodding, Ling Xiao immediately went to do it.
Jiang Xingchen touched the armrest of his command chair a few times.
A few seconds later, a figure was projected in front of him.
"Lao Luo, the military department has ordered us to immediately go to Sextant A to take over and be responsible for the defense line there."
"In one hour, I will lead the first and second legions in preparation for war, the legions directly under the headquarters, and the elven legions to set off first."
"As for the third to sixth legions that are on rotation, after recalling all the soldiers, they will be led by you as the second echelon."
Looking at Luo Fei, Chief of Staff of the Pioneer Fleet in front of him, Jiang Xingchen said.
"Don't worry, go ahead and leave the rest to me!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work!"
------
sextant a.
Unknown passageway.
At this moment, at the speed of each wave of 2,000 warships, the third-class legion under the Silver Light Empire has flown out almost 50 waves of warships from the passage.
50 waves...
That is one hundred thousand battleships.
Almost reached 10% of the number of defenders on the defensive line.
Of course, it cannot be calculated this way.
After all, in the defensive battle at the passage entrance, the defenders have an absolute advantage.
Limited by the width of the passage, the attacking side cannot allow all warships to enter and arrive at the same time.
Take this third-class legion as an example. Each wave reaches 2,000 ships, which is already the limit.
At the same time, the defender can also set up a hemispherical defense line with the passage entrance as the center, and attack from all directions to form a super firepower network.
In the cold weapon age of the home planet, if you want to attack a city, you usually need several times the strength of the defenders.
But in the interstellar era, this kind of passage attack and defense battle...
I'm afraid it would take dozens of times the number of troops to make it possible.
After all, in the early stages, the attacking side was at an extreme disadvantage both in terms of numbers and position.
It will take a long time to rely on each wave of remaining battleships to slowly gather enough numbers to try to break through the defenders' defense line.
In fact, it is said to be a hundred times lighter.
Because the enemy is not only a fleet, but also a defense system, and even deploys various special means, etc.
Many times, the attacking side even needs to gather a hundred times more troops to be considered relatively safe.
Therefore, although this third-class legion has come out in fifty waves and one hundred thousand battleships.
But in fact, the number of warships that are still capable of fighting at this moment is only worth over ten thousand.
The rest...
Basically, they were destroyed the moment they came out of the passage.
But no matter what, the number has gradually accumulated to tens of thousands, hasn't it?
This also allows them to destroy more defenders on the defense line every time they counterattack.
After all, those United I-type battleships on the defense line...
But there is no space shield!
Just hit one ship and explode the other!
Although it can probably destroy thousands of combined battleships each time.
But this also made Luo Yu very heartbroken.
You know, he only has a total of 3 million Joint I-type warships in his hands.
Moreover, he still has to rely on these battleships to last until the pioneering fleet arrives.
"Let the 200,000 Joint Type II battleships enter the defense line immediately to enhance the firepower of the defense line!"
"Suppress the growth of the enemy's strength in the shortest possible time. Even if it cannot be completely suppressed, it will slow down its growth rate to the greatest extent!"
There was a hint of solemnity on his face.
Luo Yu said clearly.
It's not that he doesn't want to send more battleships up and suppress them with absolute firepower.
But this defense line is only so big. After all, it is just a passage that can pass 2,000 warships at the same time.
A hemispherical defense line is arranged around the entrance of the passage, ten light seconds away. Excluding the positions occupied by the defense systems, it can accommodate another 12.3 million battleships...
