Chapter 160, the starting point of the road of glory

The approaching firepower of the eleven green-skinned ships made it very difficult for Wang Jiarong's fleet to resist.

But their counterattack seemed weak.

Their bows rushed outside, which was not conducive to firepower projection. What's more, when the enemy's weapon system went online, the short-range interception capability also went online simultaneously.Whether it's the laser cannons or the macro cannon shells they blasted, some of them were locked in mid-air, and were intercepted by the enemy's firepower in the void.

Of course, the interception system in the caravan ships is also playing a role. The 'defense' kinetic energy rapid-fire gun and the 'reflector' intercepting laser cannon all do similar jobs.

But overall, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Before they fully distanced themselves, they might be overwhelmed by the firepower of the green-skinned orcs.

And what's worse, their speed... seems to be not as fast as the green skins.

After the engine system of the orc ship began to accelerate at this moment, it was obviously late, but the speed was raised to a very fast level in a short period of time.It is estimated that their first-mover advantage will be wiped out in a short time.

When the speed gap between the two sides is also eliminated, the closer the distance, the green leather fleet's firepower advantage will be further exerted.

Not to mention, the Greenskin Fleet also has a special preference during naval battles: gang combat.

They can almost be regarded as the guys who like to jump gangs in naval battles in this universe second - the first favorite is the space fighters.

Landing capsules, landing ships, and even short-distance jumps...these are all things that the green skins can come up with.Once the distance reaches a dangerous level, they will use this method.

The small landing module and landing ship approach the target with a large amount of artillery fire, and there is a considerable degree of camouflage on it, which is used to deceive the interception system of the target ship.After approaching the target ship, these landing cabins and landing ships will sail at a low speed, making the void shield unable to produce a defensive effect, and thus close to the ship.

Some innocuous hull breaches that were made during naval battles will become entry points for intrusion; if there is no such entry point, all kinds of high-performance bombs and cutting devices that come with the jumping troops will find A relatively weak position on the ship, cut an opening.

These openings pose little threat to the ship itself, equivalent to an adult being bitten by a mosquito.But what's scary is the 'venom' that comes with the sting.A considerable number of soldiers will enter the ship from it, and fight fiercely inside the ship.

On the ship, there is no particularly empty area that is especially suitable for heavy firepower deployment.The vast majority of combat environments are narrow, closed, and face-to-face.

Then who can compete with the green-skinned orcs in this environment?

The elite greenskin team will kill in the ship.Even if it is impossible to directly destroy and kill all the people in the entire starship, every time a certain amount of damage is caused, the combat capability of the battleship will drop a lot.

If you get to the weapon system, if you can misfire a part of the firepower, you will earn money; if you get to the thinker array, you can even paralyze the ship's automation system, greatly reducing the coordination of various departments of the ship; Perhaps a high-performance bomb detonated from within could disable the entire ship.In case of killing the captain's room again...

Team jumping is of course a high-risk, high-loss operation, and even in most cases, the landing module and landing ship will be destroyed by intercepting firepower during the process of building ships close to the target.But as long as it is a small success, it is a disturbance; if it is a big success, it can easily capture the ship.

Greenskins are not afraid of death.

In fact, there are already some small airdrop pods flying over with the shells.

It's just that so far, there has been no airdrop pod that can pass through the fire interception net. It is estimated that one or two hundred green boys will be buried in the sea of ​​stars.

However, Wang Jiarong was still pale.

It's good news that there are no green-skinned marines landing on the starship, but the good news is too insignificant.

Seeing that the void shield has come to a purple appearance, and seeing that some shells have passed through the void shield and hit the hull of the starship, she can already feel the vibration.

Void Shield is an energy protection system, and its characteristic is that it can intercept solid shells, energy cannons, and missile weapons, especially objects and energy approaching at high speed.But things passing by at low speeds are less effective in blocking them.

The void shield in its full state, that is, when it looks blue, has the best resistance effect; but if the attack it receives exceeds a certain limit and turns purple, it will fail to block, and shells, energy rays, etc. There will be a certain probability of leakage.

It was okay at the beginning, even if it leaked in and was weakened by the void shield, it would generally be able to withstand the strong physical armor on the starship.

But when the carrying capacity of the void shield reaches the limit, that is, when it turns red, the probability of missing the shell will increase significantly, and the weakening effect on the attack will also become weaker. At this time, it is probably the strength of the armor and the strength of the hull. .

Although the current status of the void shield is still in the process of changing to purple, the armor of the starship is still strong, and the occasional attack through the void shield did not cause much harm.

However, all this is very bad news.

From the moment the greenskins started to fight back, things went from bad to worse.

More importantly, Wang Jiarong completely thought that there was no way to change the status quo.

"Gu Hang, Gu Hang! You really killed me this time! I shouldn't have come to this remote place..."

She muttered in her heart, her face paled.

And at this moment, the astropath suddenly reported a message: "Captain! We have received the communication signal from the Quintet!"

Wang Jiarong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly overjoyed: "Come in!"

The next moment, Yelicia's voice rang across the entire bridge: "I am Commodore of the Pegasus Fleet of the Imperial Navy, Captain of the Quintet, Yelicia Fofana."

Her clear voice sounded like a savior to the ears of everyone on the 'Beautiful Maiden'.

"Yelicia! Thank God! Finally got in touch! Save us!"

Wang Jiarong was so happy that she almost cried.

"I'm right next to you." Yelicia said, "Now, you have to let your fleet complete the turn and fire at those green-skinned ships with all your might. We're going to be here, before they get up to speed, completely Annihilate them!"

Wang Jiarong was slightly taken aback.

What is 'right next to'?

Could it be that Yelicia had long expected to encounter the Greenskin Fleet here, so she laid an ambush here early?The reason why the astropaths contacted but got no response was because the 'Quintet' was in a state of silent dormancy?

But why?How did she get the news in advance?

Wang Jiarong's head was flustered, but these thoughts only swirled in her mind for a while, and soon she stopped thinking about it.

Obeying Yelicia's orders is the only chance of survival.

Immediately, the four ships of the beautiful girl caravan, according to Yelicia's request, began to turn sideways and bombarded with all their strength.

If there is no external help, this is courting death.

The broadside is dangerous to the enemy.

In this way, the firepower of the ship can be fully exerted, but the hit area is also the largest; when the distance is far enough, when they shoot at each other, and the direction of the war is determined by firepower, this problem is not a big problem. The two sides are separated by more than 15 to 30 kilometers At the above time, the firepower suffered by the opponent is not much different when facing sideways or directly, but the firepower projection ability of one's own side may be [-]% worse.

But in the same way, it is of course impossible for the ship to stand still in the sideways state.Ships that move sideways are also more likely to avoid artillery fire.

Overall, this is a balanced offensive tactic.

And the green-skin fleet charging at this moment is of course an out-and-out aggressive offensive tactic.As the distance gets closer, the artillery power and accuracy of both sides will be greatly improved, for which they are even willing to sacrifice 20-30% of their firepower.

But despite this, the firepower advantage of the green skins is still much greater than that of the beautiful girl.

They didn't know why these shrimp ships suddenly put on the look of wanting to fight them, but this obviously made them even more excited.

Not to mention the more intense firepower, they also released more landing pods.

However, at this moment, hundreds of missiles suddenly flew out of a dark, empty void in the distance.

These missiles headed towards a green destroyer.

And the next moment, two huge macro cannon shells passed through the void and smashed hard on its energy shield.

The two heavy cannons that arrived at the same time were aimed at starships, and they also had huge destructive power.

The energy shield around the targeted green-skinned destroyer suddenly changed from calm blue to purple light symbolizing danger.Then, out of the hundreds of missiles, seventy passed through the void shield and bombarded the destroyer.

The seventy explosion points that exploded suddenly on the hull of the green-skinned destroyer immediately caused serious damage to the ship.

The energy shield generators may have been affected by the explosion, and the void shield, which was still purple, disappeared instantly for a while.

If you give them a little time, not too long, a few minutes is enough to restart the energy generator on the green-skinned ship, or activate the backup energy.

However, there is no such opportunity.

Then ten smaller macro cannons came again, and six of them hit him hard.The damage caused by these six shots was even more terrifying than the previous seventy missiles, directly hitting the green-skinned warship into a huge fireball.

A valuable destroyer was completely destroyed in this way.

And this inexplicable firepower, the result of the battle is not only that.

There were also ten macro-cannons, blasting at a green-skinned frigate, four of which hit, and the energy shield on it suddenly turned red.

The strength of the shield on the frigate is much weaker than that of the destroyer.

...

On the bridge of the 'Quintet', after confirming the result of the battle through the battle screen faithfully transmitted by the contemplative array, Yelicia did not cheer, that was too unsteady, and not like what a captain should do.

But she still couldn't hold back, and shook her fist vigorously.

This shattered green-skinned warship can actually be regarded as her first actual combat naval combat feat in her captain's career.

And this feat is enough to surpass the careers of many captains in the Tianma star area.

Since the establishment of the Pegasus Fleet, there has not been much experience of being mobilized by the Imperial Navy as a support force to form a larger fleet for combat.Except for those old captains who went out to form a temporary joint fleet, other younger and less experienced ones, that is, within the range of the star sector, at most multiple surrounding star sectors, wiped out some interstellar pirates.

What can those interstellar pirates do?A frigate-level pirate ship is pretty good, and many even use ordinary spaceships to rob, and at most dare to touch some ultra-small caravans.

In the past, Yelicia hadn't even made such achievements in exterminating little pirates, which was one of the reasons why she was ridiculed in private.

But from now on, no one can laugh at her anymore.

Even if they are transferred to other high-intensity war zones and have seen big scenes, not every veteran captain has a record of destroying an enemy destroyer.

Being able to get an assist is something that can be boasted for many years after returning.

But today, she, a brigadier general who has always been said to be a relationship householder and whose rank has soared, has completed it.

Not only is it not an assist, but it is also the only main force.

What happened to the sneak attack?

It's called tactics!

However, after the initial excitement, Yelicia immediately regained her composure.

The destruction of one of the three enemy destroyers was a serious damage to the entire fleet of the green skins, but they still had a lot of ships and strong capital.

This battle still has to be fought.

Especially now that the advantage of sneak attack first is gone, and without the advantage of surprise attack, the next round of firepower will not be so easy to achieve the same results as just now.

The orc fleet has already discovered their traces, so they won't let them fight unsuspectingly.The early maneuvering of the ship will cause more artillery to miss; the short-range anti-aircraft firepower is full of vigilance, and some macro artillery will be intercepted or deflected in the middle.

Of course, as a main cruiser, the 'Quintet' is well-armed, especially the two L-class 'Wrath of Loyalty' macro cannons, which are destructive to ships of the frigate level.

As long as it hits once, the energy shields of those frigates will be directly overloaded.

The slave laborers and technicians on the Quintet have already started working extremely fast, loading shells for the next round of artillery fire; the array of contemplators is working hard to observe and lock on to the ship targets that are actually moving rapidly.

Fire strikes require preparation time.

Before that, the Quintet had to face a round of enemy fire.

The 'Defender' rapid-fire guns and the 'Reflector' intercepting lasers all began to operate to resist the firepower of the orc ships. At the same time, a large area of ​​blue light appeared around the cruiser.

That was the scene when the Void Shield was in effect when the ship was under attack.

So far, the naval battle has entered a fierce stage.

The previous results of destroying a destroyer and overloading the energy shield of a frigate are not so important at this moment.

At this time, Yelicia couldn't help but turned her head to look at the man standing not far behind her.

She sighed, and said, "Gu Hang, if you lose the battle, you will really do me a disservice."

Gu Hang smiled: "If you win, then this is the starting point of your road to glory."
