In the Cecil star system, outside the entrance to the Starway in the direction of Witte, there are densely packed fleet formations one after another.
Basically, each phalanx has at least 100,000 warships, but the most eye-catching one is one of the small phalanxes, which has only 10,000 warships.
Don't underestimate these 10,000 battleships, which are all composed of battlecruisers and battleships!
In addition, the entire ship is equipped with energy shields, and its combat effectiveness is definitely comparable to an ordinary fleet of 100,000 warships.
This is what gave Faris the confidence to attack the Veit star system again, and he named it the Trap Fleet!
"The entire fleet is setting off one after another as planned!"
Following Faris's order, the trapped fleet first entered the Star Road, and then one fleet after another followed!
In the end, it took more than 6 hours to send all 2 million fleets into the Star Road.
"Faris, it should be stable this time, right?"
"Commander Hamid, please rest assured, I am 99% sure to win the Werther star system this time, and I will not suffer too much loss!"
"good!"
...
The distance between the Witte star system and the Cecil star system is very close, only 1.2 light-years.
It takes more than four months to arrive via the Star Road, which is a fairly short journey compared to a level three civilization.
At this time, Kabat's 2 million-strong army was about to arrive in Werther, but Werther's defenders did not realize that the crisis was coming.
On the defense line of Star Road, the number of regular defenders is 100,000, and other warships are docked in the surrounding fortress groups. After all, you can't keep a fleet of more than 1 million in the highest combat readiness state for decades, right?
Furthermore, the Star Road is not very big. Basically, the limit is 50,000 warships passing through every ten minutes. When these warships come out, they will face a defense line composed of 100,000 warships.
Moreover, when your follow-up fleet comes out, other fleets from the defenders have also arrived.
Therefore, it does not make much sense to deploy too many troops on the Star Road defense line.
Even if you deploy it, there are not many positions for you to fire. After all, the passageway of the Star Road is so large that it can only accommodate hundreds of warships passing through at the same time. 100,000 warships have already filled the defensive positions.
Kabat attacked this place twice more than thirty years ago, but both had to be aborted due to too many casualties!
According to post-war calculations, the battle loss ratio between the two sides reached a terrifying 1:12. It can be seen that the side defending the Star Road has the advantage, and the Star Road between Werther and Cecil is particularly narrow, which further increases the defender's advantage.
's expanded.
Just when the Oaks Empire garrison was ushering in a new boring day, sirens suddenly sounded throughout all the battleships and star ports in the entire galaxy.
The Kabate Empire begins its attack again after thirty-two years!
A large number of warships began to sail out of the Star Road. What surprised Commander Oaks on the defense line was that all of these vanguard warships were battleships and battlecruisers.
In response, the commander of the Oaks Empire's defense line was frowning.
Could it be that Kabat gathered the battleships together as a vanguard and wanted to quickly break through the defense line?
But the opponent's commander shouldn't be that stupid. Even if the battleships are concentrated together, they will have to kneel down when faced with a number far greater than their own and with crossfire from multiple directions!
Although he always felt a little weird, he didn't have time to think about it and immediately ordered the battleship to start firing!
On the other side, more than 5,000 warships from the trapped fleet had just sailed out from the Star Road, and they immediately formed an assault formation while firing at the defenders on the defense line.
More than 5,000 battleships and battlecruisers gathered together and opened fire at the same time. This density of firepower was simply mind-numbing!
You must know that although there are more than 10,000 battleships and battlecruisers among the 100,000 battleships of the Oaks defenders, they are scattered throughout the entire fleet.
The first wave of attacks from both sides passed by each other, and more than 1,000 warships were immediately destroyed on the Oaks Empire's defense line, and more than 1,000 ships were injured!
The caliber of gunfire of battleships and battlecruisers is not comparable to that of escort cruisers. If they are hit by their main ship's guns, they will either explode or be disabled!
On the other hand, the Kabat Empire's trapped fleet was completely unscathed. A transparent blue energy shield lit up on each battleship. The commander of the Oaks Empire shrank his eyes and immediately realized that something was wrong.
After all, during the first round of attacks, the commander of the Oaks Empire did not have the ability to focus fire, so no battleship was attacked by a large number of battleships at the same time. At most, it was hit by 2 or 3 main guns, and the rest were secondary guns and
Gunfire for non-capital ship types, such as frigates, destroyers, cruisers, etc.
After two rounds of bombardment, the commander of the Oaks Empire realized that the opponent was indeed an energy shield, and ordered all warships to start a concentrated fire attack.
However, at this time, all 10,000 warships of the Kabat Empire's enemy fleet had arrived, and the warships that had withstood multiple main guns had also moved inside the array. The entire fleet began a full-speed assault towards the defense line!
At the same time, the ordinary fleets of the Kabat Empire behind them also began to sail out of the Star Road...
Although the commander of the Oaks Empire quickly made the right decision and began to focus fire on the attack, he was still unable to stop the advance of the trapped fleet.
In the end, about 500 warships were destroyed and they crashed into their own defense lines.
This collision was over, and the defense line turned into a melee, which was very uncomfortable for the Oaks Empire.
When the enemy and our warships are mixed together, they cannot use cluster coverage shooting, and the main guns do not dare to be used easily, so they can only attack with the secondary guns.
As for the trapped fleet? They just let go of the attack. Anyway, even if they accidentally attack one of their own, there is still a shield, and one shot of the main gun cannot kill anyone!
How can this battle continue? The commander of the Oaks Empire is now very depressed. This is a crushing attack on equipment, and there is nothing he can do about it.
He really wanted the fleet to retreat, but he couldn't. The warships in the star port were coming over and it would still take a few minutes.
Furthermore, the second line of defense is not fully ready, and it will take at least half an hour.
How can I retreat? If I retreat, it is very likely that the entire front will begin to collapse!
The commander of the Oaks Empire had no choice but to continue the melee with a casualty ratio of more than 1:30.
Originally, it wouldn't be a problem to persist like this for another half hour, but the problem is that the follow-up ordinary fleet of the Kabate Empire has already come out of the channel, about 50,000 people, and joined the attack, and they are still coming out in a steady stream.
The Way of the Stars.
How can I hold on for half an hour after a large number of follow-up fleets pounce on me?
The next moment something made him even more panicked. Kabat's trap fleet did not entangle with him any longer.
After handing over the first line of defense to the follow-up fleet, he passed directly through the first line of defense! He rushed toward the second line of defense, where the Oaks Empire fleet was gathering!
