The two fleet groups were like two groups of red-eyed bulls, entering the range of hand-to-hand combat in thirty seconds.
To put it bluntly, this is somewhat similar to a land mecha battle. If you find that long-range artillery fire cannot cleanly eliminate the opponent, then you will fight hand-to-hand. The distance between the starships on both sides will be reduced to within a hundred kilometers. If the energy shield is powerful, then use metal projectiles to tear your body apart.
Armor, use starfighters to launch more powerful photon missiles, and more direct starship mecha boarding operations.
At this time, no matter how powerful the energy shield is, it is of little use. It depends on the thickness of the hull armor and the strength of the star fighter and mecha warriors.
Generally speaking, if it is not a decisive battle or a red-eye battle, this kind of battle mode in which the enemy will be injured one thousand and oneself will be harmed one hundred and eighty will not be used. For example, when the mercenary fleet fought against the 9th Fleet, it was basically a traditional battle. The energy of both sides
If the battleship is damaged during cannon fire, it can still retreat into the battle formation to take a breather. Unlike now, no one can take a breather unless the other side is completely destroyed.
All everyone has to do is kill their opponents.
But obviously, the reason why Nass adopts this combat mode is because he has enough confidence. Most of the battleships under his command are large battleships. No matter the attack or defense or the mecha warriors in the battleship, they are far stronger than a hodgepodge.
The United Earth Fleet, and more importantly, he knew that the starships of the United Fleet came from all over the Tianquan Galaxy. With this thunderous strike strategy, as long as one starship collapses and escapes, it may be the beginning of the domino collapse, and thus
Win at the lowest cost.
This is based on Nas's judgment of human nature.
His analysis was not done. No one is not afraid of death, but the only thing he made wrong was that he underestimated the Chinese nation.
Whenever a crisis comes, there will always be some people who can stand on the forefront of the tide and knead together seemingly scattered people to become a being that is feared by any enemy. This kind of story has been repeated once and for all in the nearly ten thousand years of Chinese civilization.
Performed once.
The Chinese people who are different from others can die in happiness, and they also dare to die in sorrow.
However, at least for now, Nas's battle formation is successful, even if he was heartbroken by the knife that Tang Lang swung before. But when the distance got closer, the Southwest Federation fleet in front of him finally couldn't bear the pressure.
, led by the leading flagship, the formation became loose and was broken up by the assault formation that continued to surge forward.
Not to mention that the army was completely defeated, but the concentrated firepower was no longer the same as before.
A coldness flashed in Nas's eyes. Trying to reduce casualties by spreading troops to expand the battlefield area has been proven on countless battlefields. It was a wrong choice. Under his violent attack, the man
The commander finally exposed his youthful shortcomings.
How could he know that once the formation is broken, it is impossible to recover.
"Hob, have you found the opponent's flagship?" Tang Lang stood at the command seat and asked suddenly.
"According to data analysis, the location of the opponent's flagship has been located, with a 99.99% probability."
"Very good, help me plan the marching route of the Phoenix."
The sound of a meat hob sounded, "I understand, do it now!"
Mingyue Shang, Little Jacob, Qiu Ruge, and Jiang Cheng, Shen Chengfeng and others on the other side of the light screen were stunned and looked at each other.
What they were thinking about was not why Tang Lang changed the name of the central intelligence of the Phoenix to such an unconscious name, but that Tang Lang wanted to...
"We have calculated the shortest path from the weak point of the opponent's formation to the opponent's flagship, which is a straight line cut at an oblique angle in the 289 direction of the enemy fleet. However, Commander, after analysis, the possibility of your tactics being successful will not be greater than 100%.
5. Please consider it carefully." Hu Daorou tried his best to pretend to be the tone of the central brain.
But in Tang Lang's mind, he was extremely angry.
"Are you crazy? Instead of using an assault ship to conduct a sneak attack, you actually want to go there yourself? Even if you want to die, at least you have to wait until I put the main body into the dragon's teeth!"
"Five percent? It's four times higher than the probability I estimated!" Tang Lang smiled faintly, "Go ahead! I've made up my mind!"
Hob meat...
I have the urge to slap myself in the mouth. If I had known earlier, wouldn't it be wrong to say 0.1%?
In the holographic perspective that Hob Meat reluctantly showed, a mercenary fleet in the shape of a heavy hammer wrapped around Nas's flagship marked with a red dot, and was approaching step by step. And the side of this formation was at a thirty-degree angle.
In the bearing, there is a dotted line of weak points, connecting Nass's flagship.
It was a light cruiser. The hull was smaller than a heavy cruiser but larger than a destroyer. It should be a product based on the warship design concept that has become increasingly blurred in functionality. Think about it, its various combat capabilities are not weak.
The heavy assault formation has a powerful attack power against large-scale swarm operations in space, but the only problem is that the formation is not flexible enough and cannot be adjusted at will. The command flagship will also be located in this formation, tightly wrapped.
under the strictest protection.
Tang Lang went in the opposite direction. At this time, he had to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's flagship could not change lanes and retreat at will in this formation. He found a weak point in the formation and broke through in a straight line with the aim of taking the opponent's flagship directly.
Wanjun took the general's head from it.
This has to be said to be an extremely bold plan, but it is also the only feasible way.
However, even if you can kill the opponent's flagship, but you are surrounded by the opponent's fleet, the chance of coming back alive is probably much lower than the 5% that Ho Daorou just said.
This is also a strategy of "even if there are thousands of people, I will go".
"I will lead the ship into the enemy's formation. If there are any dissenters, they can enter the rescue cabin. I will not disobey orders." Tang Lang looked back at the people behind him.
After little Jacob and others reacted, after a brief hesitation, a surge of blood ignited in their hearts.
Little Jacob's brown eyes flashed slightly: "What a crazy idea! But, I agree."
Hao Daier's beautiful brows raised: "Commander, give the order! All officers and soldiers of the Phoenix will obey your orders unconditionally!"
The two girls behind Tang Lang, Mingyue Shang and Qiu Ruge, had their heartbeats speeding up invisibly. But there was no fear on their faces. As long as they could be together, life or death didn't matter!
If there was no man in front of me, no matter how long the life was, how could it be more brilliant and happy if it was indifferently accompanied by this moment?
Women have very high requirements for love, but sometimes it is actually very simple. What matters is whether that person is the person she wants in her heart.
Tang Lang waved his hand, and the entire fleet separated into ten spirals on the holographic virtual screen, transmitting the dazzling attack line instructions to the entire fleet.
"The enemy's formation is not trivial. We should avoid head-on confrontation. Each brigade will fight separately to hold off the other side." In front of the command seat, Tang Lang raised his right hand to the many captains on the light screen, and put his five fingers together into a palm.
Pointing his fingertips to the side of his forehead, he made a military salute: "Everyone, I wish you good luck!"
Countless battleship captains responded with military salutes: "Sir, good luck!"
Blessings on the battlefield can only be so simple. They have done everything they should do, and have even accepted death calmly enough. The rest can only be left to God.
The fleet, divided into large groups, dispersed to fight with enemy warships at a similar distance.
Tang Lang looked at the fleets that had dispersed, and the order was issued again. The Dongxue and the surrounding warships also began to accelerate.
A formation rushed towards the mercenary fleet, and countless fire paths erupted from the formation, instantly destroying half of the formation's warships. The terrifying frontal attack power paralyzed the formation almost immediately.
The brigades in the rear learned their lesson and avoided getting too close. After a round of volley fire, they immediately retreated and ran so swiftly. There was no other way. Once the legs and feet were not quick, the frontal concentrated firepower of the mercenary army could be taken away in an instant.
Countless ships with short legs.
In the entire airspace, the mercenary assault formation basically maintained its original appearance, but the formation of the combined fleet was in disarray. It was like a huge tiger shark rushing towards them. They were still united and prepared to attack the enemy fish school.
The birds and beasts dispersed in an instant.
But the swarms of fish that were escaping were not too far away. Instead, they were intertwined and nibbling at the huge "tiger shark" from all directions. The tiger shark was advancing unswervingly, and all the warships in front of them were caught.
He was beaten to ashes, even though his body was covered in bruises by the scattered shoals of fish using energy cannons that were not very dense.
Overall, as Nass imagined, the number of damaged warships in the combined fleet was far greater than that of the mercenary fleet that had battle formations that could be rotated.
In the void, there was a tragic scene of fire and rays intertwined into a network, and starships burst into flames and exploded. However, this did not stop many joint fleet formations from frantically attacking the mercenary fleet, and one starship even broke through the energy
After a salvo of cannon fire, the energy shield was completely shattered and the armor was torn apart, it accelerated violently and crashed into a destroyer.
It was a civilian starship that belonged to Cheng Shaoning, the head of the Cheng family. Previously, Tang Lang had not fulfilled his desire to be the leader of the fleet. In the subsequent battle, this stubborn old man paid tribute to his former enemy who had died in the battle.
In order to keep his promise, he took his thousands of caravan guards and fiercely hit a destroyer whose cost was far higher than his starship with its raised bow.
The hard bow with an armor thickness of tens of meters that could shatter meteorites was like a giant axe, striking hard at the middle of the mercenary destroyer's hull. While the starship bridge and the sixty-year-old man were shattered together, it also
Cutting the mercenary destroyer in half, the two starships became entangled in the subsequent explosion and fell into the void.
Behind the fire was the starship formation belonging to the old man with red eyes. They roared and advanced towards the depths of the mercenary fleet along the passage that the captain had smashed open with his own body.
Cheng Shaoning, the most powerful head of the Cheng family in Lingyi Star in Tianquan Galaxy, was killed in the Battle of Sunset Gorge Passage at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Faced with the relentless attacks of these small starships from the United Fleet, which were not strong in bite but were equally painful to bite, the mercenary fleet had to take the initiative to make adjustments and mobilize more and more main starships to attack on both wings and in the middle and rear.
After strangulation, the speed of the entire assault fleet slowed down, and the frontal artillery fire finally could no longer maintain its previous intensity.
The Phoenix and the two formations accompanying it rushed forward at high speed in the light of fire, facing the mercenary fleet from the front, and moved to a position above the opponent's fleet.
"The Phoenix and the 10th Formation have arrived at the scheduled location!"
"Arrived, our cover worked!"
Each formation was bearing heavy casualties and violently attacked the mercenary fleet, constantly detouring, biting, and detouring again.
The attack, regardless of cost, finally brought the Phoenix and the two formations to the predetermined position.
This position is over the most vulnerable "point" of the mercenary army.
The fighter plane is fleeting.
Tang Lang's eyes almost formed a shuttle line, "Phoenix rushes in! 1st and 10th formation, cover."
The Phoenix swooped downward in space, accelerating towards the flanks of the mercenary army, surrounded by more than a dozen starships following it.
The mercenaries discovered their plan and fired countless firepower.
Although it is on the flank, it cannot compare with the firepower of six heavy cruisers on the front, but its attack power cannot be underestimated. Seeing this concentrated fire, it will turn the Phoenix into a ball of fireworks.
The starships following the Phoenix suddenly swarmed toward the Phoenix like moths to a flame when the Phoenix's energy shield was transformed into extremely brilliant colors for protection.
"Boom boom boom", whether it is a frigate, a civilian starship, or an assault ship, their energy shields are all below level 12. Naturally, they cannot withstand an attack of this level, right in front of the Phoenix.
, the battleships exploded one after another.
But there were still starships swooping over to cover us.
In the eyes of everyone on the Phoenix starship, there was another wave of concentrated fire. Only the last two of the fifteen starships in the 1st and 10th formations remained.
The mercenary formation's naval guns gathered light again, and they began to panic and were fighting back frantically.
Protect our flagship.
This is the idea of all crusade warships.
"Follow me and charge!" The voice from Hua Wen, president of the Morning Star Business Federation, sounded on the channel.
"Boom" the warship with the orchid logo of the Morning Star Commercial Federation was hit in the next salvo of artillery fire and exploded into a ball of fire.
Hua Wen, the person in charge of Daystar's largest business organization, was killed in the Battle of Sunset Gorge at 2:10 p.m.
"Come on, come on! I'm not afraid of you." Yao Yuan's voice sounded.
The last starship in front of the Phoenix was blown to pieces.
Yao Yuan, the leader of the largest armed smuggling group in Yangxiang Planet and the owner of the Veterans Bar, led two of his armed merchant ships and four assault ships to join the combined fleet after Tang Lang's call-up order was issued. All of his starships were damaged in battle and survived.
There were no more than a hundred people, and I was killed in the battle of Sunset Gorge at 2:12 in the afternoon.
They all died in the battle, yes! They all died.
Under the control of the tearful Hao Daier, some lonely Phoenix plunged into the formation of the mercenary army.
The "Navajo Hammer" magnetic energy cannon it carried once again showed its power. The two ferocious cannons penetrated two enemy ships, and the sky-wide flames irritated the mercenaries' eyes.
Under the sharp edge of the Phoenix, the mercenary warships were frightened, and they were maneuvering to avoid being targeted by this death cannon again.
The Phoenix rotated and swept down in a graceful and wild trajectory, passing by the destroyed mercenary warships. Wherever it passed, the exploding flames of the mercenary warships became the continuous embellishment behind it.
Behind it is the wreckage of its own warship that has been blown up.
This time, it has no comrades to follow.
Lonely, yet extremely determined.
Like an arrow that has been drawn and will never look back, it pierces deeply into the mercenary warship group!
