Rear Admiral Zanar's fleet then began to move forward. It was ten armored assault carriers protected by sixteen cruisers, sixteen large guard ships, and twenty large arsenal ships. They should be preparing to attack the front of the fortress.
To carry out jump gang breakthrough.
Judging from the refined fleet movements, it can be seen that they have been preparing for departure for a long time.
Come on, even if you think about it with your knees, the Imperial Army itself has no sincerity in negotiating. Soback felt that if he went to the fortress, if he could really distract Yu Lian by talking and laughing, the momentum here would definitely happen immediately.
Get up. By then, even if you are still in the fortress, no one will care anymore.
There are tens of millions of troops facing each other here.
Apart from me, is there no humane gentleman who still wants to work for peace? Is there really only deception left between people? Soback suddenly felt a little sad.
"The shells are coming." Viscount Serlu reminded loudly.
Soback's heart tightened. At this moment, he thought of the scene he had seen before: the frontal armor of the bridge was shattered by the fortress cannon, and he and his friends were killed in the horrific explosion and fatal heat.
Evaporated on the spot.
Fortunately, a technical sergeant soon informed him that according to calculations, the trajectory of the artillery shell would be staggered from that of our own ship, and the closest distance would be more than 1,000 kilometers.
Soback nodded expressionlessly: "Keep the shield running! Where is our artillery fire?"
"No response yet." Miss Serlu said.
Well, can we withdraw? We can't really let one of our battlecruisers charge into the battle, right? After all, we have fired more than a dozen rounds of artillery, can we be considered worthy of His Highness Garibian and Commander Tarlyon?
Soback thought.
But at this time, Captain Peggese said: "It's hit."
"Hit it? Defeated the fortress?"
"No, it was the opponent's artillery shell... that hit the Thunder carrier, the Thunder armored carrier of the Zanar fleet."
Even with Soback's ingenuity, it took him half a minute to finally understand that the shells fired from the fortress on the opposite side, after passing him, were directed towards the accelerating Zanar.
The fleet has passed.
"So, how come it was hit? Didn't they already notice the bombardment of the fortress? Didn't they avoid it in advance?" Soback was really hard to understand.
"Well, it was Rear Admiral Zanar who also ordered the entire fleet to maintain a stable course." Captain Peggese said.
Soback felt as if he had heard these words somewhere, so he couldn't help but said helplessly: "Aren't you going to say that this is also my fault?"
The captain hurriedly shook his head: "No, in fact, Rear Admiral Zanar wanted the five new Frost Giant-class guard ships to deploy a hardened barrier shield on the front to see if they could block the direct attack of the fortress cannon. This will be the basis for the subsequent fortress strategy.
very useful."
Soback felt that this seemed more reasonable.
But why did it hit the mothership? The mothership is still innocent, right?
Viscount Serlu expressed the above doubts.
"Of course it was deflected. Now it can be proved that the latest hardened barrier shield can play a certain protective role even if it collides with a fortress-class railgun head-on." Captain Peggese raised his hands in the air and said loudly.
; "Long live the Wisdom Palace! Long live the Skyfire Design Bureau!"
One thing to say, this is really not the captain's yin and yang aura, at least not completely. This new shield from the Skyfire Design Bureau is very successful, and it has a considerable effect even against the powerful fortress cannon.
After the cannonball hit the hardened energy barrier, it didn't feel like a stone hitting the wall. It was more like a heavy arrow piercing the outer armor, then being wrapped in the inner chainmail and silk underwear, and being deflected.
Got the direction.
In this way, although the power of the artillery shells was not completely neutralized, it did not constitute a fatal blow to the fleet directly covered by the shield.
As for the aircraft carrier Thunder... I can only say that it was an accident that no one wanted to see.
Fortunately, the shell only grazed the side of the Thunder. Although the aircraft carrier was seriously damaged, it was not sunk after all.
Unfortunately, the shell seemed to cut off a large piece of flesh from the aircraft carrier, directly igniting several sailrooms. Although it did not evaporate the bridge of the Royal Rabbit, it did kill more than two thousand people.
The Imperial Stormtroopers evaporated on the spot.
The Zanar fleet seemed to be really irritated. The entire fleet began to accelerate, and soon passed the Royal Rabbit, which began to slow down. Immediately afterwards, the main force of the Tarlian fleet from behind also came up in a mighty manner.
Soback even saw with his own eyes that the Natural Crest also sent a row of signals to the surrounding area asking for clearance, and it should be preparing to dispatch.
The Royal Rabbit finally began to return. This was a message from the rear, requiring Soback to withdraw to the command post immediately. Lieutenant General Renea Tallien was a kind person after all, and it was impossible to really let a battlecruiser
Lead the charge towards the enemy fortress.
"Rear Admiral Soback, after your noble officer meets up with your fleet, he will immediately cut into the D-7 orbit to intercept the possible ambush of the Earthlings. There are also two space hangars in the orbit of the giant planet, and lightning strike ships may be deployed.
.”
Soback likes to do this kind of ambiguous mission, which means he can play freely and is relatively safer. But he still couldn't help but said: "Sir, is Major General Zanar too aggressive?"
He didn't think that Major General Zanar would really be able to break into the Fortress if he brought a bunch of thick-skinned heavy ships A up there. Judging from his appearance now, he was more likely to fall into an ambush.
.
"I understand. Major General Zanar's goal was not the Seder Fortress in the orbit of Planet 4, but the newly built sub-fortress UF03 on Earth."
At present, Yulian has built five more sub-fortresses in addition to the main fortress, which are temporarily named UF01 to 05 by the empire.
"...Is this to lure out the Earth Fleet?" Soback asked.
He felt that this was almost impossible. The five sub-fortresses built by the Earthlings echoed each other and were all covered by the main guns of their respective fortresses, forming a dense and deadly firepower belt. The Earthlings' fleet was used as a mobile
With the strength of our troops, fighting in this airspace, we can barely achieve a balance of power with opponents several times our own.
Why should they risk leaving this fire cover?
"He is a brave man, but not reckless." Soback couldn't help but remind him again.
Lieutenant General Tanlien smiled: "If your old enemy is really a common man with only courage, who are we who are played by him?"
Well, how many times do I, a poor man, have to explain to me! He is really not my old enemy!
"Don't worry, this attack is also tentative. We need to comprehensively test the performance of the hardened barrier shield, and at the same time, we must create certain prerequisites for the Void Metamorphosis Plan." The female general pondered for a moment: "If there is an emergency,
, I will personally pick him up. As for the full-scale battle, let’s wait until Admiral Rosanaio and the Titans arrive and consider other issues.”
Well, at this point, everyone finally saw that Lieutenant General Tanlien was not only a kind man, but also a very cautious lady, and was not ready to start a full-scale war with the defenders now.
However, what you need to know is that before the Battle of Cuiling, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Tarlian had always been famous for her explosive power and destructive power. In terms of bravery, she definitely surpassed most male generals. But now, it has not passed.
Two months, yet so cautious and steady between people. Sure enough, people will grow after all.
Of course, she is indeed a caring general. She did the danger and hard work herself.
Of course, the reality was just as General Tanlian had expected. The Zanar fleet was advancing head-on towards the Said Fortress. In the process, he was naturally subjected to continuous bombardment by the fortress group, but it was probably due to the distance.
None of the shells posed a direct threat.
However, just before entering the attack range of the unmanned turret array, this slightly bulky fleet suddenly made a clockwise maneuver and pounced in the direction of the enemy's No. 03 sub-fortress.
During the movement of the fleet, the most cutting-edge frigates naturally moved to the periphery of the fleet and deployed huge shields, much like the tortoise-shell formations of heavy infantry.
At the same time, the Imperial Fleet's fighter jet cluster also left the hangar early, forming a huge warning network on the outer periphery of the fleet. Obviously, this was to deal with the lightning strike ships.
Of course, before that, the first thing they had to deal with was the swarm of fighter jets swarming out of the hangar platform hidden in the asteroid belt.
Thus, before the fleet battle and the fortress assault battle began, the fierce fighting between individual fighter planes also began.
If nothing unexpected happens, this tentative battle should stop after a short exchange of fire. The two sides slowly break away from the line of fire and return to their bases to lick their wounds. The Imperials can test the performance of the new warships, and the Earthlings can
The enemy was defeated again, and everyone has a bright future.
However, at this moment, Lieutenant General Rhaenyra Tanlien, who was on the dreadnought ship Yan Guanglong, received the latest news.
"What, the main force of the Community fleet is heading for Yeager Soback? Are you sure it is the main force?" The female general's face was full of disbelief.
"The four God-class dreadnoughts are all here, and they must be assistants. The staff analysis showed that they should have been hiding behind the No. 7 giant planet before the war started. They waited until the Sobek fleet got close, and then they left the planet's orbit and launched the attack.
.”
"I understand, those two orbital hangars are traps!" The Tarlian fleet suddenly understood.
The adjutant said: "The Royal Rabbit is requesting reinforcements."
Vice Admiral Tanlian was about to immediately order the entire fleet to turn around and rescue his comrades, but suddenly realized that didn't this mean that the Seide Fortress where the Earthlings were on the opposite side was actually a little empty?
