401 Besieged(1/2)
"Instruction, the fleet adopts combat plan No. 3 to avoid enemy dreadnought firepower! The Crescent mothership urgently evacuates!"
This was Lu Feng's first encounter with a dreadnought, and he was inevitably worried. He was worried that the opponent had some devastating power and would cause a devastating blow to the combined fleet.
But fortunately, the opponent's dreadnought ship should have older equipment, and the energy recharge time is a few minutes longer, allowing the combined fleet in the midst of a fierce battle to initially adjust its posture to avoid being in a panic like the Vegel people.
Fight against.
The Crescent mothership also took this opportunity to forcibly activate the hyperspace core to launch an emergency short-distance jump, and disappeared alone at the edge of the battlefield.
The main force of the combined fleet was in a melee with the Weigel people and was unable to escape with the mother ship.
At the scene of the melee, the ships of the two warring parties were struggling together, looking messy.
After the No. 3 contingency plan was issued, the combined fleet adjusted its course and flight attitude as much as possible. While concealing its own vital points, it tried hard to hide behind the paralyzed Weigel battleships.
Guided weapons cannot be used in the Sapphire Galaxy, so finding bunkers is a simple and practical tactic.
There is still about half of the Weigel fleet left in the melee, but almost all the firepower points on the surface of the ship's hull have been pulled out. Although the combined fleet's forcible change of course is risky, the expected damage is acceptable.
The Weigel fleet indeed seized the opportunity.
They fired the laser main cannon at just the right angle, and the red beam swept across the surface of the Shentang battleship, creating ferocious scorch marks, but failed to penetrate it.
The engines of the two behemoths were hit. Despite the thick black smoke, they still stubbornly turned the bows around.
"The fleet's turn is completed... No, the enemy dreadnought is charging its main guns!"
"Hide!"
Needless to say, Lu Feng said, the bridge commanders of each battleship were shouting excitedly, trying their best to hide behind the bunkers of the battleships under their feet. No one wanted their beloved ship to be hit by this shot.
The bow of the Vegor Dreadnought, which looked like an enlarged version of the Blood Blade at the edge of the galaxy, lit up with a scarlet light, which was an obvious sign of firing.
But unfortunately, there was no suitable Weigel battleship as a bunker at the edge of the battlefield. The nearby battleship Tianquan bore the brunt, and its huge body was inevitably exposed.
There was only a half-exploded Shining Halberd between the Tianquan and the Dreadnought as a shield. However, the Shining Halberd was too slender and could not cover the huge Tianquan. The Tianquan had to adjust its posture and use the strongest side of the
A piece of armor can resist this cannon.
So just a few seconds later, the still new Tianquan was directly hit by the red beam that arrived in an instant.
"Report damage!"
The alarm roared, Captain Zhang Chunhui looked at the status sensor that instantly turned red, and urged anxiously.
"The b17 area on the port side is seriously damaged, the No. 1 turret is offline, and there is a fire in the adjacent b16 and b18 areas. Damage control is under control! The number of missing people is being counted!"
"Huh? That's it?"
Zhang Chunhui was stunned. The energy sensor could not be used. Based on visual inspection alone, he thought that this blow would break the Tianquan into two pieces. But this is the result?
Only one cabin section was blown up. This kind of damage is nothing to the Rift class. Not to mention sinking, it can even continue to fight!
"This dreadnought doesn't seem that strong..."
The same doubt also appeared on Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was extremely nervous just now, fearing that one of his own battleships would be possessed by a missile, but as a result, things did not seem to be developing in the direction he was worried about.
Lu Feng thought for a moment and had some guesses in his mind.
The high-energy laser main guns of the Blood Blade class and the Flashing Halberd class are of the same model. They are also the most mature flagship-class main guns produced by the Vigor people. The power is acceptable, but the rate of fire and range are poor. If the distance is too far, it will cause damage.
This causes the laser to scatter and the energy is not concentrated enough.
The Weigel Dreadnought in the distance probably also uses this type of laser main gun.
However, in order to match the broad bow and surging power of the dreadnought, the Vegels integrated two rows of eight main guns of this type and upgraded it into a high-energy laser array. The eight black holes of the muzzles are displayed on the optical image.
Very clear.
The idea was good, but Weigel's technical ability was not accurate. The shipbuilding engineers at that time most likely did not get it right, so the new main gun array could only be divided into groups of two and fired alternately in four batches.
If all eight were launched together, the terrifying high temperature would directly melt the bow of the ship!
This reminds Lu Feng of the Indian engineers who are so imaginative in their designs...
Too far off topic,
The result of this is obvious, directly causing the dreadnought's signature super main gun to become a defective product.
It looks scary, but the actual power has not reached the level of qualitative change. The output energy level is still estimated to be at the battleship level, 6.8~6.9, which is still far from the 7.0 of the dreadnought.
The other party was obviously a little out of touch.
After all, the current main gun level is enough to severely damage their own Blood Blade-class battleship. If it were replaced by a little-known force like Shen Tang, what good ship would it have?
Even if the Imperial-class battleship comes, it can’t handle it~
In the end, who would have thought that Tianquan would be so much harder than the Empire class!
Really, why do people still use polarized armor these days? It's expensive, heavy and energy-consuming. It has long been eliminated by the cost-effective deflector shield.
What’s even more outrageous is that polarized armor and deflector shields are used together. What kind of reactor do you use at home?
The commander of the dreadnought was going crazy.
On the other side, Lu Feng showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
In this case...
"Order, immediately change combat plan No. 5!"
With his fear of the dreadnought lessened, Lu Feng decisively changed his battle plan. He wanted to kill this dreadnought!
New orders are issued,
All members of the combined fleet were refreshed and launched a counterattack!
One by one, the main forces of the combined fleets leaned out from behind the bunker. Three Rift-class battleships and three Ironguard-class battleships rushed out of the melee battlefield and attacked the Veigl Dreadnought from six directions. At the same time, the ships
The turret fired frequently, and a storm of artillery fire enveloped the enemy ship.
Fierce artillery fire arrived in an instant, pounding against the surface of the dreadnought ship's hull.
However, the seemingly powerful artillery fire cannot shake the terrifying defense of the dreadnought. Although the attack power of this dreadnought is lacking, its defensive power is a real Dreadnought. Even if the shield is lost, the hull armor is still strong.
Outrageous.
All kinds of shells hit the surface of the dreadnought, and apart from giving it a slight tremor, blowing up a few anti-aircraft cannons, and knocking out some craters and wrinkles, they accomplished nothing.
The Weigel Dreadnought had long expected this situation, and turned around slightly as if with some disdain, and the bow of the ship lit up again.
"It's going to fire again! 4 rounds in total!"
The combined fleet already knows the firing mode of the dreadnought's main gun. At the expense of the firepower level, part of the rate of fire has been increased. It can fire 4 guns at a time. When dealing with battlecruisers, it can kill 4 of them in seconds, and against battleships.
This is only possible if they all hit.
Therefore, it is no surprise that the main gun is still aimed at the Tianquan this time!
"Niang Xipi, turn the ship over!"
Seeing that he was being shot again, Zhang Chunhui was furious and commanded the battleship to perform a barrel roll.
The huge hull of the advancing ship quickly rolled 180°, and the next moment a red beam came down, shining on the No. 3 turret on the belly of the ship.
Boom——!
There is no sound in space, but it can be transmitted inside the ship.
The crew members of the Tianquan felt violent tremors and roars, as if the battleship beneath their feet was whining.
Then Zhang Chunhui asked, and it was only then that his No. 3 turret was gone, and was directly blown into the sky by Weigel's main gun.
"Just wait, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later!"
The advance continued, the firing continued, and the Weigel Dreadnought's secondary guns also began to fire back, but compared with the fierce fire on the other side, they became silent after a while.
Under the wrath of the combined fleet, any firepower point that dared to show its face was bombarded with saturated artillery fire.
Soon, the dreadnought's third main gun fired.
The target is still Tianquan!
It is clear that the goal is to break off a leg of the United Fleet first. There are only three rift-class ships present that can pose a threat to it. After killing them one by one, they will be invincible.
But this time, the main gun failed to hit the Tianquan again, because a huge ship shadow lay across the path of the beam, blocking the fatal blow for her.
Yuheng number.
At this time, Shentang's six battleships were already very close to the Weigel Dreadnought, and the distance between them was also not far away. The Yuheng turned in advance and was right in front of the Tianquan.
This round of bombardment returned without success.
The blazing beam swept across the surface of the Yuheng's hull, carving out a hideous and ugly black ablation strip on the surface of the main armor. All turrets and sensors in its path were scrapped, the hull was damaged in many places, and the burning cabin structure was exposed at the faults.
, thick smoke billowing.
Although the damage area appears to be larger, compared with the depth of the damage to the Tianquan, it can be regarded as minor damage.
The Crack class has excellent sinking resistance, and this slight injury will hardly affect the Yuheng's continued operations.
With one more shot, the main gun of the Weigel Dreadnought will enter a period of cooling down, and victory is in sight.
To be continued...
