This tactical move is indeed a bit confusing. It was as if when the two armies were preparing for a confrontation, the coach of one side suddenly broke away from the army and suddenly ran towards his own side single-handedly. He also accelerated his horse and left all the guards' cover.
It was as if he didn't care at all about the thousands of strong bows and crossbows pointing at him.
...Well, the Titan ship can be considered a heroic unit, and there will always be people who want to try their skills.
Information about the other party began to flash through Yu Lian's mind. The newly enthroned King of Thrane, Yount IV, was just twenty years old this year. He was a three-ring psyker. He had not yet completed his studies at the Royal Space Fleet Military Academy, and the Wisdom Palace University had just completed his studies.
In his third year of college, he only completed the initial combat training of the Knights. This is the entire educational background of this young emperor-elect.
However, in Yu Lian's memory of his previous life, there was no Solane King Yount IV, only Grand Duke Felka, Minister of the Privy Council, and Imperial Marshal Yount.
On that timeline, the Galactic Empire took the initiative to take advantage of the strategic advantages brought by the Colossus. In addition to conquering and dismembering the community, it also completely nationalized half of the Femo Star Territory. Then, it was canonized here.
Among the five border lords, Grand Duke Yount is the only one who was born into the royal family, but he is also the one who has achieved the greatest achievements.
After all, as a new imperial prince and border lord, who can sneak into the Privy Council must have achieved both construction and military exploits. Speaking of which, when Yu Lian was preparing to leave his homeland for adventure in the New World, he had vaguely heard of the Feimo Nebula.
An interstellar trading city was built, and its main promoter was Grand Duke Yount.
In short, although he has not interacted much, he is definitely a type with both civil and military skills. Although he is still young, it does not mean that he is really a pink rookie.
You know, King Suliuka on the opposite side was only twelve years old when he won the championship of the God of War Festival. He was only twenty-two years old when he defeated the main force of the Marauders in the Battle of the Lion's Den. In the Battle of the Ring of Miracles, he was speed-passed in one hour and twenty-two minutes.
He was not yet twenty-four years old.
Finally, when the main force of the thief army who annihilated the aristocratic alliance in the Luhara Galaxy ascended to the throne of God, it was... uh, sorry for the insinuation.
In short, as the saying goes, the Dragon Kings of the Galactic Empire are rich in geniuses and madmen, and those geniuses are often very precocious.
Yu Lian continued to work hard to dig out the memory fragments of his previous life... Then again, Grand Duke Yount was also a very good psyker. He was good at using two golden magic guns on the battlefield, and looked out for the wind wherever he went.
Invincible. He even had a miraculous record of killing a fantasy beast with one shot from 800 miles away.
In other words, he is a remote user! Yu Lian felt that he should have understood something again.
Anyway, isn't what I'm best at doing is "training" future talents like this who have not yet grown up? When he thought of this, Yu Lian suddenly became energetic.
At this time, he heard the other party's report again: "The enemy Titanic Dragon is still moving forward. The entire ship has increased to charging speed! At the current speed, it will be within the effective range of the main gun in one minute.
The countdown begins now..."
However, Yu Lian directly ordered: "Don't wait for my order, fire immediately after the countdown reaches twenty seconds!"
"The hit rate can only be guaranteed to be around ten percent." Feifei, who served as the adjutant, immediately answered.
This Fortress No. 1 main gun, which has been charged, is the Judgment Thunder MK12 positron main gun produced by Alliance Thor Heavy Industries. It is powerful and has a scattering effect. The maximum range is more than 1 million kilometers. Even if it is
If the Titan ship is hit directly, the shield will instantly return to zero, and the strong composite multi-layer armor will definitely be melted through.
However, we all know that the effective range and the maximum theoretical range are different after all. The further away from each other, the lower the hit rate will be. This is a very intuitive feeling.
In fact, even if it is only 10%, it is still a demerit due to terminal assistance simulation and top gunner bonus.
"Should we seize the opportunity for the first shot to hit effectively?" Feifei asked.
"No need. I'm not queuing up to be shot. I admit that I am gambling, but the same is true for the other side." Yu Liandao.
"Understood." Feifei nodded to express her understanding, but then asked: "The entire fleet is ready to go out now. If you want to board the ship, you have to leave now."
Yu Lian paused for less than two seconds: "No need. Inform Major General Tovey and continue to stand by until follow-up orders. Also, prepare the Red Ghost Squadron for battle!"
"Carrying a bombing suit?"
"No, standard suit."
"clear."
As for Admiral Sylvester, he was still nervously adjusting his tie at first, but when he heard Yu Lian's words, he seemed to understand something again, and his breathing suddenly calmed down.
At this time, a table showing the status of the main gun also popped up on the screen next to it. It had changed from white to orange, and then quickly to red. This meant that this powerful positron main gun was ready to be fired at any time.
It's time to roar.
In addition, the two Dragon Breath MK4 Gauss orbital main guns have also completed their final charging.
The gunnery officer originally planned to send the armor-piercing warhead into the gun bay. This was of course prepared for further armor-piercing after the enemy ship's shield returned to zero, and it was in line with standard combat procedures. But then, they received another command
The latest order from the ministry requires that the projectiles be replaced with high-explosive anti-matter artillery shells and that timing fuses be added.
Although the gunners didn't quite understand it, they followed suit.
Half a minute passed quickly, and the enemy Titan ship was still performing better-than-nothing tactical maneuvers while continuing to approach our own side. The gunnery commander of the positron main gun pressed the launch button as instructed in advance.
Instead of the commanders of both sides loudly ordering "launch" in a strong and ceremonial tone with a sense of ceremony, the scarlet light pillar was wrapped in a beating magnetic force and fiercely rushed towards the Titan ship Xiaolong, which was generally in a cylindrical state.
.
However, almost at the moment when the scarlet light began to flicker on the fortress' muzzle, the Titan ship suddenly changed into a disguised form, like a huge truck that was thrown out and made a sharp turn, and then came along the drainage ditch.
Like a drift.
At the same moment, the terminal of the fortress headquarters was completely filled with loud noises: "High-energy response from the front! High-energy response from the front! The enemy Titan ship opened fire!"
"The first shelling on April 1 was closer than the last time." Yu Lianda said.
"This is not the first time."
A dark blue beam with a coquettish purple glow, like an oversized atomic light spear, poked out directly from the front end of the Xiaolong and shot towards the outer wall of the Fortress.
When the light had extended to a length of hundreds of kilometers, it still looked as if it had a solid substance. However, in just two seconds, the long blade of light spanned a distance of 600,000 kilometers.
The distance stabbed fiercely on the wall of the community fortress.
The force field shield began to neutralize the reaction, but after the strong vibration, a considerable amount of energy still seeped into the energy barrier and acted on the outer wall device.
After all, the energy of this layer did not break through the three layers of armor composed of mirror-finished super-hard alloy, high carbon crystal, and ceramic fiber. It only smeared a layer of fire on the surface of the fortress.
Then, it formed a small explosion.
For the huge fortress itself, this explosion is not even a sore. The sound and vibration caused by it are almost inaudible. When it reaches the headquarters, it is estimated that except for Yu Lian and Feifei, those present are
He didn't even have the basic touch. However, the dignitaries present stood up one after another.
Admiral Sylvester shouted: "Report the damage immediately!"
In less than half a minute, he waited for a report from the damage control department: "The outer wall of U27 was damaged, and one floating turret was damaged. 12 soldiers lost contact. The engineering unit with the space operation armor has entered the U27 area.
"
This loss is not painful at all to the fortress with 300,000 garrison personnel, but the signal it brings is very dangerous.
The opponent launched a bombardment almost within the effective range of the fortress cannon, but hit it directly. This either shows that the power and range of the main gun installed on the enemy ship are comparable to the fortress cannon; or it shows that the empire has mastered something
A more sophisticated aiming method.
Of course, this is most likely luck.
However, no matter which one it is, it is enough to make the senior generals tremble with fear.
Compared with the intimidating bombardment when the Xiaolong first appeared last time, which was more like a deterrent bombardment to vent and show off, the threat caused by this attack is already real.
So, what if next time, under the cover of a large army, the enemy ship gets closer to the fortress?
"Where are the enemy ships?" Yu Lian's tone still sounded quite scary.
The observer raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and continued to report: "The enemy ship... the outer wall of the enemy ship was on fire, and they were also hit by the main gun."
It's not a hit, it's just a scratch at most. Yu Lian thought, but after all, it was scratched by the fortress cannon. The force field shield on a certain side must have been deprived. At least the armor on a certain sector also withstood almost
Devastating destruction.
Yu Lian nodded to Feifei, who immediately understood his instructions.
But three to five seconds later, the two Gauss rail guns also roared for the first time in this battle.
This time, the enemy ship that was hit by a bullet and set on fire had already started a refined tactical maneuver, floating sideways from its original space point as if it were translocating. However, the orbital artillery shells infused with anti-matter warheads were already on the spot around the hull.
The explosion formed a huge shock wave.
The huge hull obviously received a stronger impact, and it rippled like willow leaves in a strong wind.
Sylvester was slightly startled, and quickly looked at Yu Lian, as if looking at God: "Could this be yours too..."
"Of course this cannot be part of my calculation, it's just luck. The official also said it seriously just now, I have a lot of gambling elements." Yu Lian said.
"...In other words, it won't be so easy to hit next time?" the admiral asked in surprise.
"It doesn't matter. They actually don't know either," Yu Lian said with a smile.
"..." The old senior seemed to be speechless for a moment, probably because his heart was fluctuating too much. Yu Lian smiled and said: "At least we have guessed what the enemy fleet will do if it launches a full-scale attack next time.
By then, we will know how to deal with it in terms of the fleet."
Admiral Sylvester's expression softened slightly: "So that's it, just use the trick and try again! What a gorgeous battle of wits!"
If Yu Lian hadn't known that the old senior was a type who liked to provide emotional value, and perhaps provided too much emotional value, he might have thought that he was being arrogant.
"Is there any way we can counter the empire's general attack?" he asked again, full of expectation.
Well, people who like to provide emotional value too much may sometimes be overly naive. However, after all, he is the highest officer in this war zone. Of course, Yu Lian can't pour cold water on him, so he gestured upward and took it with him.
Fist of the Infinity Gauntlet: "When that time comes, for the sake of the community, I will use this dimensional fist on them."
Of course, the old senior couldn't see the transparent Infinity Gauntlet, and naturally he didn't understand how sharp this dimensional fist was, but he still felt that it was very reliable and he was very relieved.
When he realized that Yu Lian didn't answer his question directly at all, it was no longer easy to continue to pester him.
Immediately afterwards, the subsequent development was of course as calm as Yu Lian's expression: the Xiaolong, which was still burning on the port side and had an armor plate obviously torn apart, of course did not continue to move forward and fire, but made a decisive attack.
He made a 180-degree turn and swaggered away from the battlefield.
If it could be said that the Dragon Titan that was rushing towards the fortress just now was a charging rhinoceros with its head held high, now it seems to be a turkey with its tail on fire.
Yu Lian felt that this scene had a surrealistic absurd aesthetic style, and after a few seconds of silence, he frankly laughed.
Although the other important officials in the headquarters did not laugh out loud right away, they must have been affected by Yu Lian's laughter, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became happy and relaxed.
The remaining battleships and various sub-fortresses also fought symbolically for ten to twenty minutes, but only a few automatic turrets were dismantled, so they fled one after another.
Of course, if the Earth Fleet launches a pursuit at this time, it may be able to get a little advantage. However, considering that the Imperial Fleet is also coming to show off its support, it is more likely to turn into a bad war. And the less technical the more bad the war.
In battle, superiority in military strength will become more and more important.
Everyone in Yulian's fleet now understands the essence of safety-first warfare and has no complaints about the commander's order to "stand still".
Of course, a group of lightning strike ships and fighter planes with unfolded light wings still attacked tentatively.
However, the aircraft carriers behind Titan and Fearless have already been prepared, and a large number of fighter planes quickly came forward... Speaking of which, after the emergence of space bubbles and light-wing weapons, one of the changes to the fleet battlefield is also reflected here. The aircraft carriers are all
If we start to cover the Dreadnoughts and Titans or even cut off the rear, then the world will really turn upside down.
Probably because the Imperial fighter jets had already set up their stance in advance, the Lightning Strike Ships paused smartly. However, those new Community warships unfolded their light wing equipment, and at first glance they looked like dragonflies made of haloes.
, accelerated and rushed towards the Imperial Army's formation.
This strangling battle of just twenty minutes ended with the Imperial fleet suffering heavy losses and breaking through the defense line. A few of the Community fighters even broke through the interception net and successfully attacked the rear of the Imperial fleet.
As a result, an aircraft carrier was seriously injured, and a light cruiser and two destroyers were destroyed. On the battlefield of this majestic decisive battle, this loss did not even constitute an outpost conflict, but considering that they were all killed alone
It is still very imaginative that it is in the hands of soldiers and fighter planes.
This battle was probably the first battle with the "Red Phantom" fighter jets that the Empire later heard about and became displeased with.
Of course, this may also be the most tragic battle in this exploratory attack - but it is not surprising if you think about it carefully. Since the Empire and the Community faced each other across the Seder Fortress, the biggest combat losses for both sides have been.
It was caused by the strangulation battle of individual fighter planes.
If future generations of military historians examine the first half of the Battle of Seder, they will definitely find it incredible. The death rate of Jingui pilots was much higher than that of Marine cannon fodder. Such a battlefield situation is indeed very rare.
.
The Imperial Army finally drove away these two groups of Community Red Ghost fighters after spending 43 Cobalt Fighters and 30 Purple Lightning Dragons. At the same time, the victory communication from Fortress No. 8 was also sent.
Ms. Bai Ziqi, codenamed "Tai'a", appeared on the screen. She had obviously finished her work for a while, and even had time to take a shower. Her face was flushed and long after a vigorous exercise.
Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail on the back of her head, with a smile on her face.
"That one in black armor is the legendary Four Heavenly Kings? Heh, he's quite famous, and he's very capable..."
"Not very good at it?" Feifei asked with a smile.
"My skills are pretty good. If it were really a life-and-death duel without all external influences, my winning rate would be no more than 30%." Tai'a quickly replied.
