It is really annoying to be tricked by an enemy, especially when the person who tricked oneself was still in a weak prey position. The angry person was not only Leonardo, but also the other Salarians in the fleet.

Therefore, after receiving the order to attack, several large warships rushed towards the star as if they were on fire.

Of course, Zhao Chui's fleet would not wait idle behind the star, so after they circled the star, what they saw was the enemy fleet escaping from the star's gravitational field.

Of course, when they saw Zhao Chui, Zhao Chui also saw them a few seconds later.

"Open fire, free fire! Remember not to hit the opponent's flagship first."

Leonardo himself was also on one of the battleships, and when he saw the culprit, he couldn't help but get excited again.

However, at this time, the distance between the two sides has once again increased to the level of one million kilometers, and they are still moving in the same direction. Even high-energy ray weapons will take several seconds to hit the target, let alone other weapons.

This situation is a bit like the naval battleship battles during World War II. After the cannon is fired, the shells have to fly for a long time before hitting the target, and the target can perform tactical maneuvers during this time.

Weapons like laser cannons are different from cannonballs loaded with explosives. Unless they hit directly, there will be no damage at all.

In space, in addition to the main direction of being forward, the pursued spacecraft can also move 360 ​​degrees laterally. If the target is the current position of the battleship, then as long as the horizontal movement exceeds one battleship position, the laser cannon

It's completely impossible to hit.

If all possible points that may appear on the battleship during the flight of the laser were drawn, it would be a huge cylindrical shape.

Because these warships are second-hand goods eliminated by the Salarians, they certainly know how flexible these warships are.

Because they knew this, they felt that things were a bit tricky.

If the laser cannon's firing duration is extended and the focus is adjusted to spread out slightly, it is not difficult to cover the entire cylinder area.

But in this way, the light shining on the opponent's spacecraft is very weak, and basically does no harm at all. It can even be said to be charging the opponent's energy.

The only way to cause effective damage is to excite the energy in the laser cannon in the shortest possible time and focus it on one point as much as possible.

As for whether you can hit it...it just depends on your faith.

Fortunately, there are many laser cannons mounted on the large Salarian warships. If they are distributed according to a certain pattern, the hit rate can be greatly improved.

At the moment, all the battleships are aiming at their respective targets ahead and firing randomly. Anyway, with stars at their backs, the most indispensable thing is energy. No matter how low the hit rate is, you are not afraid. If you hit a shot, you will earn it.

Reality is not like movies and TV shows, because there is no dust in the universe to reflect light, and the laser cannot be seen even when it is emitted. The only observable effect is the fire after the target is hit.

However, the Salarians were not so lucky, and none of their first shots hit.

This result was not surprising, and the Salarians didn't care. They took the time to recharge the laser cannon and prepare for the next salvo.

Next came the second salvo, the third salvo...

Before they knew it, the salvos had been fired for 10 rounds, but the spacecraft in front was still intact, as if to mock them.

"Eh? It shouldn't be." the first mate shouted strangely, "There are more than 20 laser cannons on our spaceship, large and small. The theoretical hit rate has exceeded 80% now. How can it be possible to shoot one shot?

None of them hit?"

"They must have modified the spacecraft." Leonardo glanced at the trajectory of the opponent's spacecraft on the screen, "Their actual dodge distance is twice as high as what is recorded in our database."

If Zhao Chui were here, he would laugh out loud. It's twice as high as he hasn't used his full mobility at all.

After installing a transverse warp engine for auxiliary maneuvers, the maximum dodge speed is actually more than three times higher than the original!

"So that's it!" the first mate suddenly realized, "Then what should we do? Should the fleet launch a salvo?"

Just now, all the laser cannons of a capital ship fired a salvo, attacking the same target spacecraft. Now the fleet salvo mentioned by the first officer is an upgraded version of the battleship salvo, that is, all the warships in the fleet attack the same target at the same time.

spaceship to maximize the hit rate.

Of course, a fleet salvo is easy to say, but in fact it is not so easy to do. This is because a fire control plan is needed to allocate aiming points for the laser cannons on all battleships as a whole, making the firepower network tighter.

Otherwise, it is inevitable that the aiming points will be too dense in some places and too sparse in other places, and the best effect will not be achieved.

The warships currently present belong to the same squadron. They have practiced this tactic many times before, and there is no obstacle to using it now.

Leonardo nodded, "Go ahead and notify all warships to stop shooting, immediately replenish energy, adjust their position, and prepare for a fleet salvo."

Previously, these warships fought independently, and the timing of firing was not uniform, and their positions were not very uniform, so it took a certain amount of preparation time to launch a fleet salvo.

Seeing that the pursuers stopped shooting and took up positions, Zhao Chui also felt the pressure.

"Anna, how long until we can escape the gravitational field of the star?"

"There are still 24 seconds. The situation is not good. They are preparing for a fleet salvo. I think we will be hit a few times."

Zhao Chui looked at the spaceships around him and felt a pang in his heart. These were the possessions he had accumulated with great difficulty, and destroying that one was unacceptable.

"What do you think...what if we move the other spaceships to the front? I see that they didn't fire at our spaceship just now. They probably want to capture us alive."

Good guy, are you trying to use your own ship as a shield to prevent the enemy from attacking at will?

"It's best not. If we do this, it is likely to irritate the other party. If I were commanding the other party's fleet, I would reduce the laser cannon's firing power so that even if it hits our spaceship, it will not blow us up directly.

And once we are hit, our flight speed will definitely be affected, and I don’t need to say more about what will happen next, right?"

"You're right, now is not the time to feel sorry for the spaceship." Zhao Chui sighed, "If we are caught, it will be all over."
