When the tenth destroyer appeared, Lucian could no longer calm down, and the Winged Knights who had just begun to attack Li Ruobai also slowed down.
At this moment, the two sides were already evenly matched in terms of strength. Lucien had no idea that Lightyear would actually pull out such a large fleet. Although there were no heavy cruisers or light cruisers, the number spoke for itself. Originally envisioned
The crushing match instantly turned into a fight to the death, but the question was whether Lucien could make up his mind to fight an evenly matched battle.
Richard's expression changed slightly, and he remembered the story of the ambush of Chu Jungui, as well as the tragic death of the sniper and intelligence officer afterwards, and subconsciously said: "Guangnian's group are all desperadoes..."
Lucian was suddenly a little irritable. Didn't he know that there were a bunch of lunatics in Light Year? But the question is, where did Light Year come from so many starships?
He was still hesitating. On the other side of the battlefield, Li Ruobai had seized the opportunity when the Winged Knights' attack slowed down to defeat the two frigates in front of him, and then began to chase the transport ship. The large group of destroyers that had just appeared did not hesitate at all, and directly attacked Lu
Sean pounces!
At this time, the winged knights who came forward were immediately caught in a dilemma, not knowing whether to return for help or to save the nearby transport fleet.
After hesitating for three full minutes, Lucien gritted his teeth and said, "Fight!"
It's just that at this time, panic has begun to spread in the fleet's communication channel. Most of the officers of the family fleet have always fought in crushing games, or at least downwind games. Have they ever seen an evenly matched battle to the death? And the fleet has another
Although half of the Cerberus Legion is fierce, they are only here to help and have no obligation to fight to the death.
The main fleets of both sides approached quickly. When they were hundreds of kilometers apart, high-energy beams were already surging out!
Both fleets used a concentrated fire strategy, but Lucian was faced with the same destroyer, so he had to randomly choose one to rush ahead.
The target that Chu Jungui chose to focus his fire on was the Winged Knight!
After all, compared with the two heavy cruisers that looked ordinary, the Winged Knight was really outstanding, and its appearance was comparable to Longinus in Zoli's painting.
Appearance not only represents justice, but also money. The Winged Knight is so good-looking, even if it is not the opponent's strongest starship, it must be the most expensive one. Every shot fired will make the opponent heartbroken.
.
Ten unexpectedly thick high-energy beams hit the Winged Knight hard, almost causing the Winged Knight's shield to collapse with just one blow. Instantaneous energy readings showed that the power of the main guns of these destroyers had already caught up with the light cruisers, even if
It is a modified high-end heavy cruiser winged knight, but it cannot stop the siege of ten light cruisers.
The shield of the destroyer that was focused on by Lucian collapsed immediately, and the high-energy beam continued to chip away at the armor. The destroyer actually did not dodge and withstood the first wave of attacks. However, the ship on its side
There were extensive injuries on the body, and the deepest part of the melt pit was two meters deep!
Even if such a deep melt pit has not penetrated the armor, it is almost done. Even Lucien found it a bit thrilling to see. It seems that the opponent's destroyer has been specially equipped with armor, but even so, it still almost broke through.
Being penetrated.
Both sides began to prepare for the second round of attacks. At this time, a scene that made Lucian and Richard look at them. The leading destroyer not only did not withdraw from the battle, it did not even retreat and hid behind other teammates. It actually fell.
Then put on the intact hull on the other side and face the opponent!
This simply cannot be described as bravery.
"General, are you still focusing on it?" The captains asked for instructions one after another. Many of them had never seen this before.
Lucien gritted his teeth and said: "Continue to focus the fire! Its hull structure has been damaged. Even if the other side can hold up, this side may not be able to hold it. In addition, the whole team will launch space torpedoes!"
Chu Jungui also ordered the launch of space torpedoes, but the destroyer's bomb load was naturally not as good as the heavy cruiser and light cruiser, so the number of space torpedoes was only half of its opponent. But the power of the beam cannon was another matter. In the second round, all
After shooting, the Winged Knight's shield finally couldn't hold on and collapsed completely. There were also large and small melting holes in the armor, some as deep as one meter.
The destroyer blocked by Chu Jungui was even worse. The deepest melt hole caused by this round of attack was more than 3 meters.
When the two sides were preparing for the third salvo, a scene that shocked Lucian appeared: the destroyer that had suffered heavy damage actually turned its less damaged side back and continued to block the front!
"Are you crazy? There are so many intact starships, so you have to let your men die?" Richard couldn't understand either.
Lucien took a deep breath and said, "This is to show us your will!"
"Show will?" Richard didn't understand.
Lucian said: "In the early days of the mother planet, gangs were rampant in many places. During negotiations, some people would stab their own thighs with knives to show their ferocity in order to frighten their opponents."
"Ah? There is such a fool?" Richard was shocked.
Lucian snorted, with a solemn expression on his face, and said slowly: "The opponent means to win this battle even if there are heavy casualties. This is forcing us to give up the transport fleet!"
"How can this be done? There are still 2,000 defenders on the transport ship who have changed defenses!"
Lucian didn't speak, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he was constantly weighing the pros and cons.
The third round of salvos passed quickly, and the target of both sides' concentrated fire remained unchanged. The destroyers maneuvered and fired back, and in the end the melt hole on this side reached a terrifying 5 meters. What is surprising is that the armor has not been penetrated yet.
.
The Winged Knight was in a miserable state after enduring another round of high-energy beams. The surface armor was extensively damaged, several attitude engines and secondary guns were destroyed, and several melt pits were as deep as 2 meters. The Winged Knight
I had to turn and move the other side to the front.
Chu Jungui was sitting in the command chair, and his whole body was emitting an astonishing amount of heat. The specially modified command chair continuously sprayed out cooling gas to cool down Chu Jungui.
Chu Jungui stared at the star map and instantly sent the coordinates and speed of each ship's next move to each ship, and at the same time set the main gun to fire at Zhu Yuan.
The entire fleet began an extremely delicate maneuver. The starships suddenly scattered in all directions like a school of frightened fish, and then fired one after another. The beam cannon's landing point happened to be on the Winged Knight. Only one destroyer turned around and fired a cannon towards the Winged Knight.
Enter the winged knights who are outflanking the fleet from behind.
This round of salvo didn't seem to cause much damage to the Winged Knights, but the Winged Knights captain's face had already turned a little green. Seven of the nine high-energy beams hit important parts, such as the attitude engine, the secondary gun and even a shield.
The generators were all damaged. After several rounds of attacks, although the armor layer of the Winged Knight was not seriously damaged, the entire ship was equivalent to being washed, and various equipment on the hull suffered heavy losses.
The Winged Knight is not an ordinary heavy cruiser. The cost of building one of it is much higher than the two heavy cruisers in Lu Xien's hands combined. Under normal circumstances, the cost of Chu Jungui's entire fleet is about the same as that of a Winged Knight.
Every piece of equipment on the Wing Knight is not cheap to repair, and it is not a defensive starship, but it is now doing the job of a human shield.
When the captain saw that Chu Jungui had only sent one destroyer to support the Winged Knights, and the entire fleet was still staring at him, he suddenly became a little unbearable.
Both sides' space torpedo groups have arrived at the target. Lucien's torpedo group was all destroyed by the secondary guns. Chu Jungui's torpedo group was relatively more durable, but the number was too small and was all destroyed. However, the Wing Knight's secondary guns were destroyed
Half of it was destroyed, and a fatal oversight occurred. It was actually approached within a thousand meters by a space torpedo. Although the torpedo was eventually destroyed, the captain was already broken into a cold sweat.
"General Lucien, our ship has been severely damaged. Please apply to change formation and enter the rear attack position."
"Okay." Lucien made an emergency adjustment, first placing a heavy cruiser in front of the Winged Knights, and then moving two light cruisers forward to prepare for replacement of human shields. At the same time, Lucien took the time to launch another salvo.
, causing the destroyer sent to die by the opponent to have 5-meter-deep melt pits everywhere on its hull.
"Can it still be penetrated? Could this be a trap? The opponent has put on several times more armor and is just waiting for us to attack?" Richard said in shock.
Lucien's forehead veins throbbed and he said: "No matter how much armor is added, there will always be a time when it will be penetrated. Knock it out first, and then knock out the others one by one. When the winged knights outside are in place, we will
Just win.”
"Where's the loss?" Richard asked subconsciously.
Lucien's face was already very ugly. Even if he could win this battle, it would be a miserable victory. He would probably lose a Winged Knight. Even if he won, it would be more than worth the loss. But at this moment, Lucien had no choice.
He shouted angrily: "Why do you think so much? Win first and then talk about it!"
At this moment, Kaitian communicated with Chu Jungui for the first time, "Master, No. 0001 in the front has only half of its armor left. Do you want to move it to the back?"
Chu Jungui pondered for a while and said: "It's okay, let the other side think that our armor is only six or seven meters. The second ship will be withdrawn when the melting pit reaches 3 meters, leaving them with the impression that other starships have 4 meters of armor."
.”
"Should I direct the bombardment instead? Boss, you are about to catch fire."
"No, you're not accurate enough." Chu Jungui continued to wash the floor carefully for the Winged Knight while blowing on the air conditioner.
Even if Lucien adjusted the array, Chu Jungui's starship kept moving, and there would always be a few beams of light hitting the Winged Knight.
In fact, Chu Jungui could already penetrate the Wing Knight's armor, but that would only let the Wing Knight escape. So Chu Jungui controlled the landing point of the beam cannon and pulled out the attitude engines of the ship one by one. As for the secondary guns and
The shield generator is an added bonus.
At the rear of the fleet, the destroyer was already scarred, but it was clinging to the other Winged Knight, as if it was determined to bite off a piece of its opponent's flesh.
At this time, seeing the leading destroyer finally hiding behind, Lucien perked up and said loudly: "The opponent's toughest starship has been disabled by us! Everyone, work harder, we will win this battle!!"
There was a burst of cheers in the fleet channel.
In Chu Jungui's consciousness, the battle process has only progressed to a little more than 10%. He has to patiently peel off the shells of all opponents, especially the two winged knights, and then harvest them in one fell swoop to let Lucien
Not even a starship can escape.
The battle was stalemate, and both sides thought they could win.
At this moment, an old, rough and ferocious heavy cruiser suddenly jumped out from behind the battlefield. Its whole body was full of the beauty of mechanical violence. As soon as it appeared, a dazzling light lit up from its tail, and then the light flowed from back to front.
, surged through the entire hull, and finally gathered at the muzzle of the main gun.
There was a flash of light in the universe, and an electromagnetic artillery shell was shot out at a terrifying relative speed of hundreds of kilometers per second. The huge recoil pushed the entire heavy cruiser back hundreds of meters!
The cannonball instantly cut through the deep sky and directly broke a light cruiser behind Lucian into two pieces!
An unimaginable shot instantly broke the balance of the battlefield. The two Winged Knights did not even ask Lucian for instructions, but turned around and ran away. They only left Chu Jungui, who had worked so hard to peel off his shell, on the spot, messy in the wind.
