Chapter 267 Jump to the gang! Jump to the gang! [Third update! Additional update!]
"Boss! The war has begun!"
On the bridge of the Dongfeng, Yang Ming, who was sleeping in the weightless cabin wearing combat uniform, immediately opened his eyes.
finally come!
Yang Ming had just rushed out of the weightless cabin, and Lu had already laid out the images detected on the front line.
Although the image is blurry, you can still see the ripples in space when large-scale fleets jump. These ships are all smooth curves.
The main fleet of the New Federation has appeared!
"how much?"
"If we follow the empire's algorithm and only count warships above the 500-meter level, the number of new federal warships that have been detected is more than 3,900, divided into three batches, and their strength is about half of the empire's."
Lu said softly:
"In fact, the New Federation has maximized its war potential, almost ignoring local protection, and mobilized a large number of old-fashioned ships and small ships, numbering more than 10,000.
The light yellow dense atmosphere instantly turned orange-red, and a huge amount of gaseous material was ejected from the poles of the planet.
The target airspace cannot be jumped, the polarization protection mechanism is turned on, and the curvature engine is forced to shut down!
Although morale is a thing, its impact in fleet battles is very weak.
The law adjusted the ratio of ship length to space. Otherwise, on a cosmic scale, the human fleet would be just a piece of shining stardust.
A three-dimensional image of a girl appeared in front of Lieutenant General Thomas, and instructions were given out one after another.
"Yes, but if you want to prevent the fleet from jumping, you must find a way to cause the gravity to fluctuate violently, or have a large amount of energy to affect this airspace. The New Federation... they did it. The gaseous planet in front has been detonated."
The dreadnought and most of the main fleet have been "reversing", and the naval guns have begun to recharge collectively.
Lu said with a somewhat uncertain tone:
"It is also possible that the new federation has a greater appetite."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows.
The small detectors they deployed in advance began to continuously send clear pictures.
It was like a curtain covered with stars quietly slid down, revealing a giant spaceship shaped like a rugby ball.
No, using thunder wall to describe this scene is more appropriate!
Most of the main battleships of the imperial warships were aimed at the pursuing New Federation fleet. At this moment, they were unable to destroy these small ships immediately.
"All energy can resist the shooting of the opponent's No. 2 ship! Hurry! Hurry!"
Nearly four thousand medium and large ships!
Not quite right.
The girl kept her eyes closed, but after half a minute, she chose to open her eyes and looked at an enemy command flagship.
They were originally clearing a large number of deep-space mines buried in this airspace, but when they slowed down their traveling speed and before they had time to clear the minefield ahead, space fluctuations occurred during the jump in three directions at the same time!
When he opened his eyes at this moment, he realized that his bat-shaped small combat boat was already speeding through space, not far from the New Federation's right wing fleet.
All the imperial warships here seem to have come alive. The technicians on each ship only need to press a few buttons in time, and the ship will automatically mobilize its own energy.
In the tail cabin, robots are busy in full swing.
The dreadnoughts of the Empire's First Battle Group have now become decorations!
"What?"
The New Federation's six main battleships and dozens of supply transport ships were directly swallowed by this beam!
But thanks to the vertical dispersion of all New Federation battleships, the destructive power of the dreadnought is completely inconsistent with the energy it releases, and the dreadnought can only shoot three times in a row!
All ships of the New Federation are accelerating!
Although the Dreadnought's bombardment was unstoppable, when this shot was fired, the dark clouds hanging over the New Federation instantly dissipated!
The New Federation was responsible for intercepting some of the small battleships that were laying mines. Seeing that they could no longer escape the range of the Imperial fleet, they actually launched a fearless charge against the Imperial fleet.
If Yang Ming wants to make a sneak attack, he must rely on this stealth boat.
Dreadnought opens fire!
A dark blue beam of light shines across the audience!
"Their ship is my shelter. Make sure their command system is on the flagship!"
Fleets from three directions quickly pursued forward. Even if they were far away, some star cruisers began to fire continuously, lighting up the dark and cold space with ion beams.
Yang Ming didn't know how many New Federation soldiers were in those light ships, but he could clearly sense that lives were passing away in batches.
This gave Yang Ming an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack!
Both sides opened fire almost simultaneously, and purple and blue ion beams burst out intensively.
He turned to look in the direction where the Empire's First Battle Group had initially moved.
Yang Ming frowned and said: "Are they so arrogant? If the New Federation has a way to prevent them from jumping this time, won't the Empire have to wait a long time to start the next jump support?"
"Dongfeng jumps nearby, try to stay away from them, and travel in full stealth mode!"
This period of time is the opportunity for the Imperial Military to seek!
The main battleships of both sides entered each other's range.
"Do they want to eat up the Empire's First Battle Group in one bite?"
"Dongfeng is preparing to bombard the dreadnought on the right! Then withdraw from the battlefield immediately!"
The troop strength of both sides is already greater than two to one!
"Why?"
At this time!
The dreadnoughts of the First Battle Group opened fire for the third time, and dozens of New Federation warships turned directly into silent balls of light.
The New Federation unilaterally pursues the Empire?
The minefields laid out by the New Federation naturally have detailed deep-space mine distribution maps.
Yang Ming's eyes flashed with a burning light.
At this moment, they placed all the shield ships near the Eye of the Sky dreadnought directly ahead.
Lu's voice sounded without any ripples:
"There is a space expansion effect in the front of the imperial fleet, and there seems to be a large-scale fleet jump."
The merchant ships and small ships that quickly threw out the deep space mines began to retreat in all directions.
The battlefield suddenly became extremely fierce.
Three seconds later!
"On your right, two new federal dreadnoughts are about to appear. They are relatively advanced space distortion stealth technology."
Yang Ming subconsciously turned his head and looked out the window, where the space was slightly distorted.
This mission: reduce our own losses and eliminate the enemy's effective forces.
The dreadnought opened fire a second time.
Yang Ming raised his right hand and tapped lightly on his helmet, and the holographic scene in front of him disappeared instantly.
The Empire's First Battle Group has detected the incoming large-scale fleet.
"It has been identified."
Dongfeng completed its transition.
But the area hit by this cannon is the energy transmitter in the center of the Dreadnought. There are weak links in the protection there, which will most likely trigger the Dreadnought's self-protection mechanism and block its fully charged shots.
——The commanders on both sides have similar command interfaces.
Does the New Federation have so much military power?
If it really has so much military power, why does the New Federation have to be so afraid of the Empire?
Military power is directly linked to national power, and the maintenance cost of a main warship is far greater than its construction cost. Although the New Federation has been catching up in the past few hundred years, there is still a huge gap between it and the Sherman Empire in terms of national power.
This is the main reason why dreadnoughts must be protected by shield ships in large battlefields!
There, a scorching fire suddenly appeared inside the huge gaseous planet.
"If we count the number of ships from the 200-meter class to the 500-meter class, the New Federation is at an absolute advantage. It is also a force that cannot be underestimated."
In space battles and ship explosions, there is no way for humans to survive.
According to common sense in fleet battles, the disadvantaged side will have almost no backhand power.
The picture shakes a little, but there is another leap of light!
The fourth batch of warships of the New Federation appeared in the middle of the retreat route of the Empire's First Battle Group!
These turned out to be thousands of merchant ships and 100-meter-class small warships!
After they completed the jump, they quickly rushed towards the first battle group.
The New Federation is certainly not stupid.
Yes, their calculations are correct.
Part of the Imperial Fleet's hull immediately opened fire, but these small ships were specially modified and immediately opened giant umbrella-shaped shields in front.
If we really want to launch a sneak attack, relying on Dongfeng's particle transmission machine, we can only sneak attack the spacecraft on the edge of the battlefield.
After Yang Ming put on the tactical helmet with holographic image function, he seemed to appear above the entire battlefield and take charge of the overall situation.
This period of time is the opportunity for the New Federation to eat the first battle cluster after repeated calculations!
The Empire's First Battle Group is truly in dire straits!
it's time.
Even if the New Federation's fleet has an absolute advantage in firepower, it will take a certain amount of time for them to crack this hard nut.
"should be."
The shock wave mark that cannot be described in words swept through the surrounding area at an extremely high speed, detonating most of the deep space mines that had been placed around it before!
There are a total of three target areas for the remaining battle groups of the empire to jump to, two of which are affected by this star explosion!
This is a pressure tactic that can also boost the morale of the New Federation.
The deep purple beam tore apart the formation of Imperial ships.
The Dongfeng traveled secretly in the gravitational tilt zone and stayed away from the battlefield. Almost all of Lu's main brain's computing power was used in calculating the Dongfeng's route.
The Sky Eye Dreadnought is about to be fully charged and firing!
A beam of light suddenly lit up behind the Eye of the Sky dreadnought on the right side. The charging of the Eye of the Sky was suddenly interrupted a few seconds before it was about to be completed. A thick protective light shield lit up around the dreadnought!
At this moment, the commanders of both sides looked at this corner at the same time!
After completing the shooting, the Dongfeng turned around as quickly as possible and entered sub-light speed directly in front of the soldiers on both sides.
Yang Ming got directly into a bat-shaped boat, inspected the exoskeleton armor and lightsaber, and waited quietly.
The ghost battleship of White Ghost!
Lieutenant General Thomas, whose face was already pale, now had his eyes shining brightly, and he roared loudly:
But this minefield has made the Empire's First Battle Group impassable!
The emperor, who was watching all this, frowned and asked:
The dreadnought cannot strafe, and the powerful energy will directly tear the barrel into pieces. This means that the effect of this shooting is also not significant.
New Federation Dreadnought-class battleship Eye of the Sky!
More than one ship!
On the left wing of the battlefield, at an almost symmetrical position, another new Federation dreadnought appeared at the same time and started charging simultaneously!
Their target is the empire's dreadnought!
The Imperial ships began to move simultaneously to the left, with the shield ships protecting the main battleships and energy supply ships behind them.
Of course, this shot cannot kill a dreadnought. The New Federation's dreadnought itself also has powerful modular defense capabilities.
The empire's first battle group only has 1,200 medium and large ships, and one dreadnought in the center of the battle formation!
The Imperial fleet begins to turn!
Without any hesitation, they changed from front to rear, and retreated directly in front of this minefield before the New Federation's main fleet was fully deployed.
I have to admit that these federal guys are really brave. For the sake of concealment, they actually pulled out the dreadnought and hid it on the designated battlefield, leaving only a dozen shield ships and star cruisers to escort them.
The ion beam light continued to flash, and the shields of merchant ships and small ships exhausted their energy and exploded into balls of dazzling light.
As long as he enters the interior of the hull, it is his home court.
"Why don't you pray?"
In order to prevent the bombardment of the Imperial Dreadnought, the New Federation fleet was spread out vertically, which was equivalent to placing all the ships on a wall.
This group of ambush soldiers did not fire a single shot, all energy was supplied to the shield, and then they opened their respective tail cabins, outer cabins, and suspension cabins, and released one after another concentrated deep space mines.
"You will lose your ship's protection."
The target airspace cannot be jumped! The curvature engine is forced to shut down!
Such announcements echoed simultaneously among thousands of imperial ships!
"Notify the commander of the First Battle Group! Let them focus on protecting themselves from the bombardment of another dreadnought ship! Whether they can withstand it or not depends on them!"
The latest model of the New Federation's main battleships appear in formation!
Yang Ming's bat boat continues to accelerate!
"Boss, I suggest you adjust the direction of the raid."
A thick minefield has formed ahead!
Yang Ming made a prompt decision!
"Boss, the other five battle groups in the empire are preparing to jump at the same time. The jump direction... seems to be the rear of the New Federation Fleet!"
Emperor Star, in the imperial palace.
The Imperial First Battle Group seemed to be in dire straits.
Rather than fleeing, it is better to say that they are using mobile warfare to try to pull the three fleets of the New Federation into a straight line, taking full advantage of the fact that this airspace is inconvenient to deploy large fleet forces, and using the dreadnought's
Use superior firepower to eliminate a group first.
In their calculations, their rear was violently turbulent due to the disintegration of the gaseous planet, and it was impossible for the empire's fleet to raid.
Lu sorted out these images and made them into real-time holographic images of the battlefield.
Hundreds of warships were swallowed up by the hot ball of light!
A hole was torn open in the Imperial Battle Group's defense line, and the New Federation's ship firepower began to fire wildly!
The Empire's Third Battle Group on the other side of the battlefield is still far away at this moment, and it also takes a certain amount of time for the ship to accelerate...
Yang Ming carefully studied the queues of both sides and quickly determined that there were 'ghosts' hiding on both sides.
Speaking of danger, it is naturally extremely dangerous, but Yang Ming can also change the target at any time and invade the nearest ship.
The Empire's Third Battle Group and First Battle Group were merged into the same command system at the same time, and the computing power of each main brain of the Empire's ships was fully loaded at the same time!
The two sides immediately started a chase.
Yang Ming turned around and rushed to the tail cabin.
Only far behind the Empire's First Battle Group, the Third Battle Group successfully jumped, and it will take a certain amount of time for this force to move forward to support!
Although deploying the formation vertically first will make the pursuit less efficient, it can reduce their losses when they withstand the attack of the Imperial Dreadnought.
Yang Ming quickly discovered something unusual.
They extended all the ships longitudinally, and the warships were evenly and loosely distributed, and then began to pursue.
On the battlefield, every second counts!
The bat-shaped small ships rushed into the New Federation battleship group.
This is the home field advantage of New Federation!
The New Federation's main fleets from the three directions behind, left, center and right, rushed towards them rapidly, leaving only a fleeting opportunity for the empire's generals to make decisions.
While he was traveling around the New Federation with Bo Sa, Lu had already driven the Dongfeng back to Dark Star, replacing the Dongfeng plug-in and the two fifty-meter-class combat power supplementary ships at the tail, adding more
Three special boats, and two newly produced Ligui III mechas.
As soon as His Majesty the Emperor's voice fell, several module groups of the Emperor Star vibrated slightly, and dark blue light extended downward along the module outer wall covered with quantum integrated circuits and entered the interior of the Emperor Star.
But a special 500-meter-class ship happened to be in the rear area at the moment!
Yang Ming was surprised.
Normally, they could indeed swallow up the First Battle Group in one go and destroy an Imperial dreadnought.
The three-kilometer-long hull lay horizontally in space, stretching to the left and right, revealing a huge cannon hole in the center!
At this moment, the 'horizontal stripes' on both sides of the ship were flashing brightly.
Now we have to see who has the better tactics between the two sides.
It quietly began to gather energy, concealing its actions through the violent fluctuations of the planet's disintegration.
A wisp of fire broke out, which was extremely inconspicuous in the entire battlefield.
But the girl with the collar and shackles seemed to see...
After the fire, a figure rushed into the outer cabin of the spacecraft, and there was a small blank area in the defensive energy shield outside the spacecraft.
