Although he was determined, the battle was not that simple. Gao Kai kept improving the battle plan in his mind, and finally came up with some clues.
Time flew by, and the two sides got closer and closer. When the voyage was about to pass halfway, Gao Kai suddenly ordered the fleet to open fire, firing two rounds of super shotguns at maximum density.
After the order was issued, everyone became uneasy. There were still more than 200,000 kilometers to go. Even if the fire was fired at the maximum intensity, the possibility of hitting the enemy ship was extremely low.
However, no matter how many ideas we have, we cannot disobey orders at this time. Everyone has no choice but to fire according to Gao Kai's wishes.
Each ship opened fire one after another, and the electromagnetic gun sent a large number of deadly shells on the journey silently... If the enemy's speed remained unchanged, they would encounter the enemy ship in five hours.
In fact, Gao Kai did not expect the super shotgun to hit at all. He fired at this time, firstly, to test the enemy's reaction; secondly, he wanted to see the super long-range hit rate of the super shotgun.
After the bombardment stopped, Gao Kai immediately ordered the fleet to slow down - this was also part of the test. If the enemy also slowed down, then the relative speed when the two sides encountered would definitely not be fast, which meant that the aliens wanted to fight a life-and-death battle;
On the contrary, if the alien fleet continues to accelerate or slows down without determination, it means that the aliens are just bluffing, and it is hard to say whether they can fight in the end.
Gao Kai very much hoped that the enemy force would continue to accelerate. In that case, he would have reason to take the fleet back to Ceres and end this farce early.
However, things went against expectations. Seven minutes later, the Nanzhou discovered that the enemy was slowing down. Judging from the enemy's deceleration, the relative speed of the two sides when they encountered each other was only 180 meters per second. By that time, the two sides would be in close combat within a very small range.
, the level of danger is far greater than before.
Gao Kai felt that he could not let the enemy be so happy. Since the fleet was decelerating at full speed, it was impossible to make a fuss about the deceleration, so he simply ordered the fleet to speed up again.
At the same time, he also ordered the two battle groups to distance themselves, preparing for the Yuzhou to go to the side to support the main force.
Although the idea was good, there were many more alien warships than human warships. After discovering the movement of the Yuzhou, four waves of alien warships immediately dispersed.
If the dispersion range of the Nanzhou fleet is a rice basin, the dispersion range of the alien fleet is at least a washbasin, which is more than enough to accommodate two aircraft carrier battle groups.
However, the speed of the alien fleet did not change at all.
Gao Kai immediately realized his mistake. If the fleet continued to accelerate, the most direct consequence would be that the two sides encountered each other at too high a speed. If the enemy took the opportunity to overtake the fleet and attack Ceres, he would be the one who would suffer in the end.
He quickly ordered the fleet to slow down. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not jeopardize the safety of Ceres.
After hesitating for a short while, Gao Kai ordered each ship to launch a batch of long-range missiles at the enemy.
Today's long-range missiles have learned lessons from the past, and their range has been greatly improved. Let alone more than 200,000 kilometers, there is no problem if it is twice as far.
Moreover, the design department has learned from the experience of super shotguns. The warhead of the missile is no longer a nuclear bomb, but has developed a shotgun version of the warhead.
The advantage of this thing is that it is faster, but the disadvantage is that it is not as concealed as the electromagnetic gun and is easily discovered by the enemy.
But what does it matter? Gao Kai didn't expect this thing to hit at all. He just tried every means to torment the aliens to see if he could find any weaknesses in the enemy's army.
In this way, every once in a while, Gao Kai will launch something at the enemy, sometimes even just a simple sound and light effect, such as randomly launching a few smoke bombs, letting them fly far away and then explode, forming several groups that will always accompany him.
Smoke screen near the fleet.
Gradually, Gao Kai found that the distance between the enemy ships was getting farther and farther, and finally reached the point where there was almost no formation.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind - wasn't this the flaw he was looking for so hard?
If the distance between the enemy ships is far enough, it will cut off the cover and support between the enemy ships, and then the enemy ships can be defeated one by one... Well, this is what he thought too far, the enemy ships
No matter how far the distance is, it will not exceed the range.
In order to lure the enemy to continue on the wrong route, Gao Kai once again ordered the fleet to disperse, and he was not allowed to stop without an order. At the very least, he wanted to expand the fleet's spread area to more than double the enemy's.
When Gao Kai gave the order, he was still very uneasy. Not long after, the Nanzhou observed that the density of enemy warships continued to decrease.
Gao Kai almost smiled crookedly. He simply didn't know how to praise the enemy's commander. This big brother was so cooperative. After so many years of fighting, he had never seen such a tacit understanding of the enemy!
The captains who witnessed this scene were also extremely surprised. Apart from being surprised, they were all a little bit happy.
There are many alien warships, but the combat capability of a single ship is poor. The more dispersed the enemy forces are, the more beneficial it is to our own side. How can everyone be unhappy?
When the news reached the Jizhou fleet, the command team headed by Huo Qiang was equally surprised.
This thing is really surprising, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be reasonable.
This is not the first time that aliens have faced super shotguns. If they discover something, it would not be surprising to avoid risks by dispersing in advance.
While thinking about it, Huo Qiang did not forget to warn Gao Kai not to be careless.
The aliens had used super shotguns and had a history of copying humans. Gao Kai really didn't dare to be careless, but he never found anything wrong with the enemy. He couldn't help but wonder if he was overthinking.
The aliens had indeed been silent, but it was only because they were too far away that they had not moved. When the distance between the two sides was about 80,000 kilometers, Gao Kai suddenly discovered that the enemy had turned into a huge ring, and the human fleet
Heading towards the hollow of the ring.
If things continue like this, wouldn't it mean that the enemy would have surrounded the human fleet before the war even started?
Gao Kai did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the fleet to disperse, and it became a giant loose ring... It was said to be a ring, but there were too few warships, so it was actually a circle.
It was very loose, but the enemy was outnumbered and we couldn't get out of the way to let the enemy advance straight in. Gao Kai had no better way.
However, the closer the two sides got, the slower their relative speeds became, and the encounter time also lengthened. From the first fifteen hours to the next twenty hours, when the distance between the two sides was more than 50,000 kilometers, it had already taken more than 30 hours.
Hours later, less than half of the three days required by the Jizhou fleet have passed!
At this time, Gao Kai did not know that Huo Qiang immediately ordered the decelerating fleet to speed up again after receiving his report, which greatly shortened the time for the Jizhou fleet to arrive at Ceres. Now the Jizhou fleet has crossed Ceres and is heading towards the battlefield.
