Nearly 100,000 space fighters, except for the less than 1,000 that were escaping in the fleet array, the rest had all been killed.
The resistance's mecha losses did not even exceed 500. Even including the initial losses on the road, it was only a little over 600.
After taking care of the space fighter group, the mecha troops began to focus on the battleships.
Of course, they will not attack the cruisers and destroyers, but will all focus on the frigates.
The reason is very simple.
One is that the firepower of the Star is now all aimed at those destroyers or cruisers, and small creatures like mechas are better not to break in, otherwise they may be killed by one of their own people.
Another is that compared to destroyers or cruisers, frigates are much weaker in terms of close fire defense and battleship armor.
Therefore, even mecha weapons can still pose a threat to the frigate.
If it were to be replaced by a destroyer or cruiser, I am afraid that only some mechas carrying special anti-ship equipment could pose a sufficient threat to them.
------
Although the air superiority was lost.
Although the whole process was in a suppressed state.
Although the cruiser was almost completely lost.
Although...
But after all, the numbers are here, and in order to cover the cargo fleet being transported in the rear, the resistance fleet can only stay here and cannot engage in mobile warfare.
In the end, they had to engage in the most brutal close combat with the fleets of these second- and third-level civilizations.
Perhaps, the weapons of these warships are not a big threat to warships with shields, but when you are attacked by hundreds of warships...
A weapon that is no threat can also become a deadly weapon.
The closer the distance, the more concentrated the firepower and the higher the hit rate.
This is the same for both parties.
The Star is not bad, it has the most advanced energy shield system in the galaxy, coupled with a strong enough energy supply, the shield has never dropped below 90% so far.
But the situation on the fleet side is more serious, and the shields of many frigates have dropped below 30%.
"Captain, the Yinniao's shield value has dropped to 5%. I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand several rounds of concentrated fire!"
"Chen Xiaoguang, move closer and use the hull to help the Yinniao block the attack, allowing them to take the opportunity to retreat to the rear."
"Yes, Captain!"
After taking a look at the position of the Yinniao on the real-time battlefield model, Jiang Xingchen ordered.
Then he turned to look at Fu Wanting.
"How's the situation with the cargo fleet?"
"The current progress is 78%, and it is expected to take another 7 hours."
"Even if we can withstand this situation for 7 hours, other battleships cannot. We must find some way..."
He shook his head and then focused his attention on the real-time model of the battlefield again.
"Chen Xiaoguang, adjust the course, target the enemy array, and rush in directly for me!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Wang Feng, have you seen those cruisers with shields at the rear of the enemy fleet array?"
Jiang Xingchen asked, pointing to the end of the enemy fleet array in the real-time battlefield model.
"Yes, I saw it. Do you want me to adjust the firepower to kill them?"
"When did I tell you to kill them?"
"Well..."
"Don't touch them yet, concentrate all firepower in front of the bow, and the entire ship enters central breakthrough mode!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Although he didn't understand what his captain was thinking, Wang Feng still nodded and responded.
Immediately, the battleship firepower was redeployed and concentrated directly ahead.
"Wang Feng, as soon as you get close, immediately blow off their shields, and then hit the propulsion devices of these warships with precision."
"Remember, what I want is to paralyze them, not destroy them!"
"Do you understand?"
To paralyze, not destroy?
Speaking of which, on such a chaotic battlefield, it is more difficult to paralyze than to destroy.
However, if my captain asked me to do this, I would do it no matter what...
"Yes, Captain!"
"Very good, have Lu Li and the others finished supplying?"
"It's expected to be another minute!"
"Okay, let them wait for my order without rushing to attack after the supplies are finished!"
"Yes, Captain!"
No one knew what Jiang Xingchen wanted to do, but no one stopped to ask at this time.
As crew members, they do not need to understand every order of their commander, all they need is to execute it and execute it meticulously.
However, even if they don't ask, someone will still ask.
"Captain, received the communication request from the Descendant."
"Come to me!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The next moment, Mu Zhengfeng's figure was projected in front of Jiang Xingchen.
"Jiang Xingchen, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to buy some time, Admiral!"
"To gain time?"
"Yes, the opponent previously moved all the cruisers equipped with shields to the front, but at this moment, there are still nearly 100 cruisers equipped with shields at the rear of the array. What does the admiral think is the reason for this?"
"You mean..."
"Yes, if I guess correctly, it should be the battleship where the commanders of these affiliated civilizations are located."
"So that's it, are you planning to directly surround Wei and rescue Zhao?"
"Yes, I don't believe that when they encounter a crisis, they will order their respective fleets to continue attacking instead of returning reinforcements!"
Jiang Xingchen nodded and said.
"I understand, just do what you want. Don't worry about the fleet. It won't be a big problem in a short time."
"Yes, Admiral!"
After knowing what Jiang Xingchen was going to do, Mu Zhengfeng said nothing more.
This is indeed an effective method.
Otherwise, if this continues, the fleet will not be able to survive for long. Even if it can survive in the end, it will probably be a semi-disabled result.
But if the Star's operation succeeds, this bad situation will be reversed in an instant.
At this moment, the Star had completely broken into the enemy's fleet array.
Of course, the commanders of those affiliated civilizations are not blind. How could they not see such a big target like the Star?
Naturally, they found out, and immediately let all the warships in the array with shooting angles launch a concentrated fire attack on the Star.
It has to be said that even the Star is under certain pressure when being besieged by thousands or even thousands of warships at all times.
"84% of the shield remains..."
Since the beginning of the war, this is the first time that the Star's shield has dropped below 90%.
Moreover, this value is still declining.
The surroundings were filled with battleships, which gave Jiang Xingchen a sense of déjà vu when he commanded the Houyi and charged directly into the Sea of Insects.
"Wang Feng, don't worry about the surrounding warships. Continue to maintain full firepower at the front. Don't let any warships have the opportunity to hinder the progress of the Star!"
"Yes, Captain!"
8000 kilometers...
7000 kilometers...
5000 kilometers...
Jiang Xingchen's eyes were fixed on the tactical model, checking the distance to the target.
"Captain, the shield remains at 67%..."
"Captain, Commander Lu Li reported that all mecha energy supplies have been completed."
"Captain, the shield remains at 63%..."
...
Ignoring these reports, Jiang Xingchen still stared at the battlefield model in front of him.
3000 kilometers!
"Wang Feng, adjust your firepower and knock down all the shields of those cruisers. But you must control your firepower and don't blow up the battleships!"
"clear!"
Upon hearing the order, Wang Feng responded loudly.
From just now, he had already calculated how to distribute firepower and was waiting for Jiang Xingchen's order.
The next moment, he took action.
Make sure to hit each ship only once with the particle accelerator cannon, because you are not sure whether the opponent's shield is full, so if you hit it a second time, you may directly break the shield and destroy the ship.
Therefore, after one energy bomb from the particle accelerator cannon, the follow-up is to rely on the ion cannon with 30% power to consume its shield bit by bit in the form of scraping.
Finally, add another blow to the opponent's engine, paralyzing it in place and unable to move.
In this way, a set of processes is completed.
Although it is time-consuming, it can perfectly meet Jiang Xingchen's requirements.
Soon, the first batch of battleships with their shields exhausted appeared.
"Order all the ship-based mecha units to attack. They can injure or even maim them, but they cannot kill them!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Chen Xiaoguang, drive the Xingchen into the middle of those cruisers, and use them who are unable to move as a shield for our ship."
