In the capital area of the Babavi Empire, not far from the exit of the space channel, two huge fleets were approaching each other.
Although both fleets are very large, it is obvious that one of them is much larger. After all, 16 million warships are nearly five times as many as 3.3 million warships.
But the side with fewer battleships did not have any panic or fear, and marched forward without fear.
When the two sides approached 4 million kilometers, they launched artillery bombardments at the same time as agreed. However, at this distance, neither side could achieve much results, and the hit rate was pitifully low.
The key is that even if it hits, it will be difficult to destroy the enemy ship. After all, at this distance, if you want to hit the enemy ship with more than a dozen or even dozens of rounds at the same time, the probability of winning the lottery is no less than the probability of winning the lottery.
Generally speaking, when a fleet of a fourth-level civilization engages in a battle, the casualties will increase exponentially only if the fleet is within 3 million kilometers.
The distance between the two sides continued to get closer with the fierce exchange of fire, and soon entered a range of 3 million kilometers.
Suddenly, the Federation's fleet made a move that was very confusing to Babatena. Its array seemed to be disbanded, completely separated, and the distance between them was very far.
When the changes to the federal fleet array were completed, everyone discovered that the fleets on both sides had become equally large.
However, the Babawi Empire's array is very tight, while the Federation's array is unusually loose.
According to normal logic, during an artillery war, the fleet must be relatively concentrated, which will be more effective.
After all, the hit rate is originally low, and it usually relies on a dense firepower network to make up for it, otherwise it will be difficult to cause effective damage to the enemy.
For a moment, Babatena didn't understand at all what the other commander was thinking!
Could it be that they want to adopt a loose formation to effectively avoid our bombardment and delay enough time for the warships to assemble behind them?
Huh? Nine times out of ten this should be the case? After all, the other party has at least more than 30 million warships. How about using more than 3 million warships as a price? In exchange for the assembly time of its main fleet? From a tactical point of view, there is indeed no problem!
After turning it around in his mind for a few times, Babatena immediately figured out Lin Fan's intention, and became more and more certain that his guess should be the correct answer.
After thinking of this? The corner of Babatana's mouth suddenly raised a hint of curvature.
Don't you just want to avoid excessive losses in the artillery battle, and want to close the distance and engage in a melee, completely delaying yourself?
It's a pity that you don't know, what I'm best at is melee combat!
"Ignore the other party's changes? Move on!"
"Yes? Marshal Babatena!"
Soon, the distance between the two sides had shortened to nearly 1 million kilometers. For the interstellar fleet, this distance could be considered a close combat, but it was not yet to the point of hand-to-hand combat.
Obviously? The shelling between the two sides has become more precise, and the hit rate has reached a high level.
But? Babatana's face began to look ugly.
"Marshal Babatena, what's wrong?"
The adjutant is puzzled? After all, according to the data, the current situation is very good? The hit rate has fully reached the level it should be? And the number of its own battleships is five times that of the opponent.
Looking at it this way? It should only be a matter of time to completely annihilate the opponent's more than 3 million warships, and this time should not be too long.
But why does Generalissimo Babatena look so ugly?
What went wrong?
"You still haven't seen what's wrong?"
Babatena turned his head and looked at his adjutant with a look of hatred, as if to say, why is my adjutant so stupid?
When Babatena said this, the adjutant was a little confused and looked at the various data on the command terminal again.
No problem, the hit rate of the entire fleet is completely up to standard, so what is the problem?
"Look at the opponent's current total number of warships!"
Looking at the adjutant beside him who was still confused, Babatena said.
After being reminded by Babatena, the adjutant immediately looked at the relevant data of the enemy fleet in the command terminal.
"There are still 3,297,815 battleships, huh? 3,297,815? Wait..."
The adjutant suddenly discovered something and read out the number of the opponent's battleships again in disbelief.
3,297,815 ships? The data scanned before the war was 3.3 million, right?
In other words, we destroyed 2,175 of the opponent's warships after beating the boss for a long time?
How is this possible? We are clearly five times as powerful as the opponent and have a high hit rate. How could the opponent lose more than 2,100 warships?
The adjutant was completely confused now. He had to know that his side had destroyed 12,000 warships so far!
Is this a mistake? It would be normal if the battle losses of both sides were exchanged!
"Generalissimo Babatena, what on earth is going on?"
"All I can say is that the other party's commander is a complete monster!"
...
On the other side, the Federation fleet array, inside the bridge of the Ouranos.
"Fleets 172 to 178 immediately slowed down to a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second, and ten seconds later raised the bow 7 degrees to project three rounds of firepower!"
"Fleets 215 to 218, disperse immediately and gather again after a minute to reorganize the queue!"
"Fleet 28 to 35 turned 4 degrees to the right and sunk the bow of the ship 2 degrees. They fired with range coverage and carried out a one-minute firepower attack!"
"Fleets 99, 131, 135, 281 and 322 will retreat while performing irregular maneuvers. Feedback will be given when the shield value of the entire ship is restored to above 80%!"
…
All that could be heard in the entire bridge was Lin Fan's uninterrupted orders, one after another, coming from his mouth at a very fast speed.
At the forefront of the battle between the two sides, several squadrons suddenly slowed down, then slightly raised their bows, and immediately there was a wave of salvos!
But there was nothing in the direction they were shooting. If anyone was watching this war, they would definitely say, this is not random shooting!
However, at this moment, the more than 200,000 warships of the Babavi Empire began to maneuver towards this position. In conjunction with the arrival of the firepower of several federal squadrons just now, as if they had made an appointment, these more than 200,000 warships
The battleship also arrived at the location at the same time.
What happened next can be guessed. The Babavi Empire battleship group that happened to maneuver to this position was bombarded by this inexplicable salvo, and hundreds of battleships were immediately destroyed.
From a spectator's perspective, it would be better to say that the Federation's squadrons fired very accurately, rather than that the Babavi Empire's warships desperately rammed into the gunfire. This scene was really weird.
On the other side, a legion at the front of the Babavi Empire array saw the opportunity that the five federal fleets were concentrated in one area at this moment, and immediately ordered a dense array to launch a salvo to eliminate the 50,000 soldiers in front.
A Federation battleship.
However, just as this legion of 300,000 warships launched a salvo, the 50,000 warships in front suddenly scattered without warning.
Most of the attacks by the Babavi warship using precise shooting failed. Only some scattered firepower outside the shooting area hit the dispersing warship. However, due to the lack of concentration of firepower, it was unable to break the shield and caused no real damage at all.
.
While the commander of this legion was stunned, the eight federal squadrons on the other side had turned over and slightly sunk the bow of the ship by 2 degrees, and then launched a crazy firepower attack!
Because this legion of the Babavi Empire just turned the array into a super dense formation in order to kill the 50,000 federal warships in front, and there was no room for evasion at all!
In this formation, 80,000 federal warships seized the opportunity and after a sudden fire attack, they immediately suffered heavy casualties, directly losing nearly a thousand warships!
Such weird scenes are happening all over the battlefield at this moment!
