.Posting out the formations of the remaining federal troops in Ali, Kestow and the pirates laughed, and Algi said: "Mr. Zhang, the enemy is a standard charge formation on a large battlefield, but when used in squadron-level battles, it can be seen that the enemy commander attaches great importance to his own life! This is either an important figure on the enemy ship, or it is unknown firepower of the defense artillery of our army's garrison!"

"Oh..." Zhang Ziqiang didn't understand much, and he didn't pretend to understand, so he asked directly: "Arji, if you were the enemy commander, how would you arrange troops?"

"One-character long snake formation!" Algi said without hesitation: "The armor of the enemy aircraft carrier is equivalent to the sum of eight battleships. Even if all our artillery fire is concentrated on it, it can block at least three waves of attacks. The long-range firepower output of the aircraft carrier is not as good as the two battleships. The enemy charges with the battleship as the leader at this time, which is self-destructing long-range firepower!"

Zhang Ziqiang was shocked. The main warship had high armor level, not only long-range output firepower, but also had to act as a flesh shield. It seemed that the level of danger was not low. Ananda asked again: "Since the enemy is going to charge, why don't you need to leap the engine? Can't you rush to our formation as fast as possible?"

Only then did Algi realize that the two noble people in front of him did not know anything. He could not explain: "The transition engine accelerates the most, but consumes the most energy. It is necessary to mobilize the output power of all power furnaces when starting. Moreover, the aircraft carriers and battleships, as the main type of ship, cannot meet the equipment conditions for the transition engine due to their large mass, and only cruisers and destroyers are equipped."

"The transition engine is used by warships to rush on familiar waterways. The enemy did not know the ship-way data of Mauriston, and Lord Kestow also withdraws the weapon of the waterway clearance point. If you use the transition engine rashly and hit a meteorite while driving at high speed, it is equivalent to suicide."

Both Zhang Ziqiang and Ananda understood that this is like a space expressway. Usually, there are maintenance points to maintain the waterway and clear meteorites on the waterway at a fixed point, while the transition engine can only be used on such space expressways.

As the few people spoke, the enemy fleet was approaching slowly, saying it was slow, but the result shown on the picture. In fact, the speed of the enemy fleet also reached the cruise speed of the aircraft carrier. It was just that the distance between the two sides was too far and there were no reference objects in space, so the speed seemed very slow. Zhang Ziqiang had never been nervous before the war, nor was he excited, and he felt like he was watching an electronic game or a three-dimensional movie. The first time I knew that space war also had to arrange troops like the ancient battlefield, but the situation in the middle was much more complicated than that on the ancient battlefield.

"Huh?" The command room suddenly emitted more than a dozen surprises, and the enemy fleet slowed down at 600 kilometers! The fleet in the charge formation actually slowed down! Kestow ordered loudly: "Radar team, calculate the acceleration of the enemy fleet! Tactical staff team, analyze the intentions of the enemy fleet!"

The enemy's sudden unexpected moves, and the atmosphere in the command room suddenly became tense. Alji quickly explained: "Mr. Zhang, the enemy should know the range of defense firepower at our garrison. The maximum locking distance of the defense system is 400 kilometers. The enemy is now slowing down. This is to stop outside the attack range of the garrison. The enemy does not intend to charge and engage in a string-catching battle!"

Sure enough, the results calculated by the radar team also confirmed Algi's words, but the staff team could not analyze the opponent's tactical intentions. The situation seemed a little bad. In the space war, the biggest hidden danger is that they cannot understand the enemy's tactics. When the enemy's tactics are activated, they often suffer a great loss. Zhang Ziqiang and Ananda were blinded by the space war. When they saw that Kestow was giving orders, the pirate leaders were also panicked and felt a little uncomfortable.

No matter how anxious Kestow was, the fleet of the Ari Federation stopped outside the maximum locking range of the garrison defense system. From this point of view, the previous formation was completely designed to confuse the security fleet, but what's the use of such confusion? Kestow would never give up the defensive power of the garrison and take the initiative to attack. As long as you defend this point, the enemy fleet is alone, without logistics supplies, and it is impossible to use a level 5 laser cannon to attack the garrison at such a long distance. The energy of the enemy ship cannot support this consumption.

Before Kestow and others could figure it out, a shiny cloud suddenly flew out of the enemy fleet. Inkestow was at a perihelion, and the perspective of the reconnaissance ship when observing the enemy fleet was direct light, so from the returned images, you can only see a large reflection of the enemy fleet.

"Drone! God, where did the enemy have so many drones!"

The firepower on the drone is only one third-level laser cannon, and it does not require aerodynamic wings in space. However, it is still sharp triangle shape, with a side length of only four or five meters. The sharp corner in front is the laser muzzle, the two corners at the back are equipped with a steering engine, and the main engine is in the center of the rear, with an acceleration of more than 8g. In space warfare, laser polymerization cannons are generally used to attack enemy ships. The total number of ship-based drones in Kestows' squadron is only 15,000, and the enemy is probably not 100,000 now!

"Order the reconnaissance ship to withdraw! Order the frigate to come out of the queue and defend nearby around the main battleship!"

Although Kestow was panicked, he was not confused. He was temporarily unaware of the enemy's tactics and had to deal with them by means of moves. To deal with such small drones with large accelerations and extremely agile speed, he could only use laser polymerization cannons close to the speed of light. There were only two fourth-level laser cannons on the frigate and three electromagnetic rail cannons. This medium and long-range weapon has a long attack time and is obviously not used to deal with drones. However, the frigate's laser polymerization cannons are the most common of all types of ships, and are ships designed specifically for dealing with drones and heavy assault boats.

Arji also guessed: "Not to mention where the enemy's drones came from. They released such a huge fleet at one time. Is it because they wanted to attract our low-level fleet to fight?"

Zhang Ziqiang didn't understand and didn't interrupt. Ananda had already shown his wishful thinking. The drone group of the Ali Federation accelerated rapidly. Such a huge drone group could not be controlled by a squadron. The enemy was collectively controlled in the form of formations. Kesto's long-range firepower had not been opened, and he used long-range weapons to attack drones, just like anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes. He might have guessed like Arji that no matter what conspiracy the enemy used, he had an additional defense system at the base, and used static to prevent changes.

When the enemy drone group approached, the formation was divided into two, with about 20,000 drones rushing towards Kestow's frigate group, and more than 80,000 other densely rushing towards the station. The third-level laser cannons on the drone had been prepared for a long time, and suddenly launched a cover-type attack on the station's defense facilities.

I can't understand this kind of tactic. Not to mention that the drone formation is divided into two, causing the firepower to be weakened, that is, the drone is equipped with a third-level laser cannon. In the fifth-level civilization, it is only equivalent to heavy firepower weapons equipped with mechas. It seems that there are many, but in fact the attack effect is not great. What is the enemy trying to do?

The entire airspace was filled with energy particles, and the fire control system of the laser polymerization cannon was difficult to lock. The enemy's frigates outside the formation began to approach Kestow's reconnaissance ship. Kestow did not know the enemy's intentions and did not dare to send ships out of the queue at will, so he had to ask the reconnaissance ship to retreat again. The radar could scan only a vast white area, and the enemy fleet was temporarily lost, but this time was very short and it could return to normal in more than ten seconds. The enemy fleet had stopped and seemed to be of no use.

Ananda suddenly shouted: "Kestow, the enemy drone is still accelerating towards the base, and there is a wave of missiles behind the drone!"

Kestow and the pirates were shocked, and the radar of the reconnaissance ship was not scanned. How could Ananda know? But Kestow was convinced of Ananda and Zhang Ziqiang's skills. He thought for a moment and angrily cursed and ordered the station. However, except for defense, he could not make any decisions, and the intention of the enemy fleet was still unclear.

Algi also shouted: "The enemy squadron only has the ability to control 15,000 drones. The more than 80,000 drones do not occupy the fire control system resources at all. They are planning to use drones to directly hit the base's defense! Then the missiles can destroy the base's artillery! But they are also a squadron, where do so many drones come from?"

As Algi said, after the energy wave passed, the radar returned to normal, the drones that rushed towards the frigate group turned on the steering engines, skillfully bypassed the main ship, and prepared to launch an attack with the laser polymerization cannons of the frigate. The remaining 80,000 drones all crashed into the base. The laser polymerization cannons at the base were affected by the particle flow generated by the first wave of attack by the enemy, and the fire control system was difficult to lock. They did not knock out several drones at all, and the base was hit by one head.

The defense of the garrison is very high, it is really thick in skin and thick flesh. The drone collided at high speed, and a ball of fire broke out outside the garrison. Then another wave of missiles bombed indiscriminately. The gun barrel that had previously extended out to deal with the charge against the enemy fleet was not yet retracted, and more than 90% of it was knocked out by these three consecutive waves of attacks. It turned out that the enemy wanted to disintegrate the defensive firepower of the garrison!

Not to mention Zhang Ziqiang and Ananda who first met such a grand scene, even Alji was stunned. Although they had been fighting in space for many years, they all said that the war was about logistics and economic strength, but they had never seen such a lunatic who did not take money as money.

Generally speaking, the cost of drones is much higher than that of missiles. Each drone has a small power furnace, otherwise it would not be possible to generate such a large acceleration. There is also a third-level laser cannon. If the Arica Empire is concerned, the laser cannon that can be produced by itself is level 3, and it is much larger than the third-level laser cannon of Randybos, so it is impossible to install on a drone.

In addition to these two costs, there are also intelligent systems of drones, communication systems, radar systems, fire control systems, etc., which are generally not low. Missiles are much cheaper. In space wars, missiles are just a conventional consuming ammunition. The warheads carried are generally mainly armor-piercing and high-explosion. The main purpose is to attack the enemy's medium and long-range gun barrels and tear the enemy's ship armor.

The drone is actually used as a purely consumable shell. The enemy commander is either a lunatic or a unique wealth...
