"The Red Pirates' attack this time is extremely decisive, seemingly reckless, but in fact they are thick and thin. It seems that Huron has indeed some capable people."
On the bridge of the Eternal Loyalty, a massive amount of combat information and damage reports are collected here. More than 25 mechanical sages are here to assist in processing data in various aspects. Soshiyan sat on the command throne. He only needs to observe the entire situation. All combat data will be realistic on the tactical display in graphic or specific numbers.
Weiletz, who was holding the data board, also stood beside him. This time, in order to prevent the other party from running around like last time, Soshyan could only take the other party on the boat.
According to the data, the Red Pirates' offensive was called a storm. In a short period of time, at least 3,000 Chaos Space Marines entered the blessing barrier. The people who died in the process were probably not much different. This seemed to be a desperate extreme offensive, but the Red Pirates' assault commander was obviously not a simple reckless man. When he launched a jump gang towards Star Fort, he also launched an offensive of similar scale to the surrounding fleet.
Because the main forces are concentrated on Star Fort, the Empire's fleet actually lacks the power of the counter-jump gang. Therefore, on the one hand, it avoids the Red Pirates' attack range of the jump gang as much as possible, and on the other hand, it concentrates some of the firepower and fighter jets on those landing crafts.
But judging from the current battlefield scan results, those jump gangs initiated by the fleet are a cover, and there are no space warriors in it, many of them are empty, and even only slaves.
In fact, Soshiyang never thought of completely stopping the opponent from jumping to the gang. After all, this naval battle is different from the last time. The Red Pirates are stronger in terms of military strength and fleet strength. Without the constraints of planetary orbital defense, the opponent's ships can use the advantages of heavy armored cannons to close the shooting. It is impossible to replicate the last victory with just a fighter plane.
If the battle continues to be like this, the Red Pirates may still win with more numbers until the end.
The key is on the Star Fort.
The biggest problem of the Red Pirates is still their fighting will and fighting spirit. At the beginning of the war, they can still rely on their remaining blood courage to continue, but as long as the casualties exceed their psychological limits, these war gangs gathered around Huron will be skeptical about the battle.
So he pressed the treasure on the Star Fort and turned this space fortress into a meat grinder to kill a large number of live powers of the Red Pirates.
However, the enemy's desperate attack also puts certain risks in the entire plan. Once the enemy's investment exceeds the defense limit within the Star Fort, the entire situation may collapse instantly. Fortunately, the Victory Seal has quickly installed a set of accurate teleportation system from the Luncai, so the interiors of the two Star Forts are actually connected. When either side's defense is shaken, the defenders on the other side can arrive immediately.
But even so, according to the current combat situation, the casualties still exceeded Soshiyan's expectations, which made him feel a little worried for the first time.
"Send another squad of combat robots to the Blessing Barrier."
"How do you reply from Brother Seth?"
"Reported, the commander of Seth said that two more teams could be drawn to the Blessing Barrier to support the Blessing Barrier, but now their fleet has only two companies of defense, and it cannot be reduced anymore. Otherwise, once the ship is jumped, it will not be able to fight back."
"good."
At this time, Villets bent down and whispered in Soshyan's ear:
“The Order can also go to support.”
Soshiyang shook his head.
"You can defend our fleet ships, and I will say it if you really need it."
Villets said nothing. Soshiyan then turned his attention to a wider battlefield. Now the Mechanical Cult is still fighting with Huron's fleet. Both sides have suffered casualties. It is still possible to command a small fleet of Huron. On the planet Angustorm Six, although the subspace troubles created by the Red Pirates have been temporarily suppressed, the threat has not been lifted. The dark ritual woven with asteroid fragments is still summoning a huge number of demons, which has restrained many small ships of Soshiyan's fleet, including the Emperor-class battleship Alloy Truth. In addition, a considerable number of fighter jets must cooperate with the Dead Gashway Company to suppress more powerful demons that may appear at any time.
In fact, one of the big reasons why the Red Pirates were able to successfully jump to the gang is that in this naval battle, the fighter jets could not attack in a concentrated manner as before, and they had to bear the offensive in three directions at the same time, and the number was smaller than before, so they could no longer create absolute pressure.
At this time, the number of Soshiyang's fleet was very thin, leaving only 2 combat barges, 3 large cruisers, 3 heavy cruisers, 9 strike cruisers, and 32 small and medium-sized warships. While covering the blessing barrier, they also had to exchange fire with the Red Pirates' assault fleet. After the Jump Gang was successfully launched, Huron even supported the assault fleet. Now Soshiyang has to face two battleships and one combat barge, 7 large/heavy cruisers, and 61 small and medium-sized ships.
In terms of firepower, the Red Pirates are even better. There is already a Moon-class cruiser and a strike cruiser on Soshiyang. The Flesh Tearman's flagship Prancing Horse has also suffered a certain degree of trauma, and the left deck is still burning.
One of the things Soshiyan likes to do in battle is to put himself in the perspective of the other commander.
There is still a bloody battle inside Star Fort, and there will be no hope of seizing it for a while. Although the Empire Fleet is a little weak, it can continue to fight with the help of the cover of fighter jets. The Red Pirates themselves have sunk 3 cruisers and several small boats and continue to drag them down. The attitudes of some war gangs may be shaken.
So, what is the key to breaking the deadlock?
The Empire must have few soldiers, and Star Fort is the key to tactics, so it will definitely invest a lot of troops, which means that the defensive forces of the Imperial Fleet are now relatively weak.
So, the most effective way at the moment-
"Report! Alloy Truth Emergency Signal, a Red Pirate Fleet bypasses Angustom Six and is now rushing to the fleet's original lineup!"
Soshiyang smiled, it was true.
The fastest way for the Red Pirates to end the battle quickly is to launch a jump gang beheading him.
However, this beheading tactic was not launched by the assault commander of the Red Pirates, which surprised him. Then he quickly retrieved the data of the tactical indicator and found that the beheading fleet was composed of three murder-class cruisers, all of which carried the symbol of the evil god of Stainless, which made Soshyang think of someone.
"Ha, I guess it's Lucius' bastard."
Then he turned to look at Villets.
"The Ebony's Holy Grail will be responsible for defending the church area of ​​the ship and the light spear array preparation area on the upper deck."
Villets nodded.
"I'll arrange it right away."
Since most of the troops are invested in Star Fort, and some main ships also need to be defended, Soshiyang's flagship is only the first company as a reserve team, and half of the recruits from the tenth company, the defense is the weakest time.
So the timing of the Red Pirates' choice was indeed very clever, and Soshiyang's evaluation of the commander was raised to another level.
Of course, this may also be Huron's arrangement.
“No need to make any arrangements.”
A lazy voice sounded, and Soshiyan turned his head and saw a warrior wearing power armor with almost no sign on his body and helmet walking towards him.
