Huron was prepared for Minotao's fleet. As early as when the opponent separated from the Imperial fleet, he deployed two cruiser formations to try to block them. However, as Soshyan judged, ships with different formations required different navigation distances. The biggest problem of the Red Pirates was that the ships were uneven in performance. In addition, they continued to fight with the Imperial main fleet during the steering process. Under the interference of the above factors, Huron's order actually made the Red Pirates' own formation gradually chaotic.
This made Huron's interception order execute much slower than planned. Before all the intercepting ships could adjust their positions, Minotao's assault fleet rushed into the Red Pirates' rear squad. Some ships were directly smashed to pieces, and some were shattered by their fierce firepower.
Just as the Minotao fleet was rushing around the enemy's rear team, the White Temple fleet, which received Soshiyang's command, gathered with the Black Temple and the Scarlet Fist fleet, also separated from the main fleet, and made a 180-degree turn directly, passing the team opposite to the outside of the front line. At the same time, the team led by Soshiyang continued to turn right at a small angle, and posed for a stance to move to the right side of the Red Pirates.
In this case, Huron followed the idea of ​​fighting around the death chart. In order to avoid the Imperial fleet attacking its team from one side, he ordered the fleet to turn to the right as a whole, about 90 degrees, trying to maintain the attitude of aiming at the Imperial fleet with a scrap ship.
But during the turn, the shape of the Red Pirates' formation continued to change, like a coiled rope, held by someone, loosened with a slight force, and turned into a line.
In addition, the continuous harassment of the Minotao fleet in the middle made Huron's entire order quickly turn into a tactical disaster. The White Temple formation that left the team completed the 180-degree turn at an extremely fast speed and implemented a left-handed maneuver. Almost every warship maintained pace coordination and formation integrity, far surpassing the Red Pirates in terms of discipline and combat readiness.
What's even more outrageous is that due to Huron's continuous commands, some ships that were supposed to intercept Minotao's fleet gave up their mission and turned with the main fleet, causing the Minotao's fleet, which was previously besieged, to penetrate the Red Pirate array and rushed out. Although several warships were damaged, they were not enough to withdraw from the battle. During the process, some Red Pirates War Gangs launched the Jump Gang operations, but Minotao was dispatched by the entire regiment. Almost every ship they had about one company of troops. The Red Pirates teams who jumped into the pirate ship immediately found themselves jumping onto the pirate ship.
The Minotao fleet that had emerged from the formation did not stop, but turned around at an overall 90-degree turn, and then turned around to fight the old ships and small boats that were left behind by the Red Pirates, and soon sank a scarred massacre cruiser.
At this time, Huron realized that something was wrong. His original plan was to attack the Empire's fleet with the Death Pioneer as the core, but when Soshyan set out a vertical formation and maneuvered at high speed, Huron found that his plan was too taken for granted. Although the Death Pioneer was large and strong, it was too slow to achieve the task of severing the Empire's column in half. According to the current Imperial Fleet's actions, his fleet would soon fall into a three-pair state, and the Death Pioneer would not be able to protect the entire fleet at that time.
This made Huron both angry and unwilling. What he suffered the most from this expedition until now was not strength, but self-esteem and self-confidence. In the past, he never thought that he was worse than any space warrior or mortal. Even Abaddon was just an old warlord who relied on his old age in his eyes. He firmly believed that he had built a foundation that the other party had built ten thousand years in less than a century, so he never took anyone seriously.
However, this expedition, the failures and defeats made him seem to be completely overwhelmed by Soshiyang in both tactical and strategic levels, and it can even be said to be crushed. Huron once suspected that he was probably not Soshiyang's opponent. Could it be that the other party is really his own birth nemesis?
Confidence is as important as life for a Chaos warlord, but Huron can hold back this breath, and he believes that he must be the final winner.
However, in this naval battle, the command gap between the two sides emerged again. In fact, he was not unaware of the problem with the fleet, but he still had some luck in this decisive battle, hoping to prove that he was stronger than Soshiyan in front of the world.
But reality slapped him ruthlessly.
However, at this time, he could only swallow his teeth if he had lost his teeth. Huron pretended to be calm and continued to issue orders, ordering the catastrophe envoy to offer sacrifices and three other large cruisers to join thirty small and medium-sized warships to block the White Temple Squadron, and force the opponent back as much as possible to prevent the team from being attacked on both sides. At the same time, he ordered the fallen warships to fight Minotao's fleet on the spot, give priority to jumping gang battles, and hold the opponent as much as possible.
Finally, he ordered the flagship Destruction Ghost, plus the battleships of Desperate Prayer and the Torment, and the main cruiser that could keep up with it, to cooperate with the Death Pigeon to launch an impact on Soshiyang's team, and to drag the opponent's fleet into the range of the Death Pigeon's Jump Gang as much as possible.
When the order was issued, the almost static Red Pirates fleet started to move immediately, but the actual situation was still far worse than Huron expected. Since it had been attacked, the Red Pirates formation had long been loose. This movement quickly turned some of the damaged fleet into an isolated part. While they had to find ways to control the damage on the ships, they had to keep up with the fleet as much as possible, and even began to cause ships to leave the formation and try to escape.
If the formation of the Red Pirates' group cluster before had become a curve, then it would have become an indiscretionary mess after one hour.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Huron doesn't care about so much, he must now let the death chart play a decisive role.
The Red Pirates' team originally planned to attack the Soshyang fleet in a horizontal line, but due to factors such as falling behind or being damaged, the formation gradually became a diagonal line, and the Torture Battleship rushed to the front.
This made it immediately the target of the Empire's heavy artillery battleships.
Ten minutes later, the front armor of the starboard front of the Torture was penetrated by the side of the Oberon-class battleship Ivy, forming a break of more than 300 meters, and then another light spear was hit on the upper deck.
Before this was over, the front of the starboard side of the Torture was hit by the macro cannon shells from the large revenge-class cruiser Marble King. At this time, the Torture's shield was completely overloaded. Just as it tried to turn, the middle of the starboard side was hit by a plasma macro cannon shell, which directly paralyzed the ship's upper artillery deck.
Under various intensive fires, a large fire quickly ignited inside the Torture Unit, three reactors were overloaded, and a catastrophic accident occurred.
A more deadly shot from the Silver Redemption main gun was shot in the right area of ​​the Torment Bridge. Although it did not directly hit the bridge, it also made the entire command system of the battleship almost destruction.
Then a large number of fighter jets flew out of the imperial formation. They came from the Emperor-class battleship Yongyi, the Jupiter-class battleship cruiser River of Sigh, and three dictator-class cruisers. Nearly a thousand fighter jets rushed straight to the Red Pirates' team, and at the same time, a large number of hellblades, hell claws and Chaos Flying Dragons flew out of the death-level map.
Seeing that the battle situation was even worse, Huron decisively ordered the release of a device in the Death Pole Diagram.
