1351 Tactical Breakthrough
Since the war started, the fleet that humans fought with the Shang tribe at the same time reached four legions for the first time. The cloned more than 300 warships of the Legion brought great psychological pressure to the Shang tribe fleet in a defensive state. Several large legions were swaying outside the borders of the defense circle, and the Shang tribe warships flew at super-light speed within the defense circle, and the layers of space fluctuations rolled by like swells, making only a small amount of colonial stars floating like fleas.
Looking at the Earth on the moon, which is one second away from the Earth, the Earth is just as big as a plate. The colonial stars of the Shang clan are only a little larger than the Earth, and the major legions currently have a straight line distance of more than four light points from the colonial stars. Without the need for optical systems to amplify, you can't even see where the colonial stars are.
At present, the two sides are confronting each other on both sides of the defensive border. The participating ships put the focus of the optical system on the positions where the enemy ships appear. Therefore, the colonial star is only a little big on the screen of each ship. If you don’t stick your eyes to the screen and look hard, you can’t see where you are. Every space fluctuation passes by, and the small dots representing the colonial star have to twist and jump a few times. From the perspective of each fleet, the position changes at least tens of thousands of kilometers.
"Intercept!" Zero growled in a stern voice.
The four major legions immediately approached the invisible defensive border. According to the direction provided by the reconnaissance satellites, the position of each fleet happened to be directly in front of the merchant fleet.
After occupying a favorable position, the four legions opened fire at the same time in the direction of the enemy's flight, and umbrella-shaped light cones composed of thin and weak emerald green lasers suddenly shot towards the merchant warships flying at super-light speed.
Although the Cloned Legion's warship was painted golden, it was still a standard combined warship at its core. The main gun was not a useless decomposition beam for the merchant warships, but a solid crystal laser reflective gun pot!
The advantage of reflective laser cannons is that the beam can be concentrated and dispersed. In order to expand the strike surface, the cloning army used a scattering scheme and used a fire control system to adjust the angle of the mirror array to make the reflected laser light scatter into a cone shape.
The light cones fired from dozens of warship main guns overlapped with each other, forming a cage-like death jungle.
The merchant fleet in the super-light speed was immediately shrouded in dozens of overlapping emerald green powerful light umbrellas. In a short time, dozens of merchant gunboats were penetrated by lasers in each direction.
The lucky warship was just a large ravine of varying depths by lasers, but it was slightly damaged; the key was broken by the laser and lost its power, and it instantly stalled and broke away from the superluminal speed.
Generally speaking, lasers falling obliquely on the warship can only cut out scars. Only lasers shot vertically at the bow of the ship will penetrate the warship due to the luminosity superposition caused by speed.
The main guns of the cloned legion were immediately concentrated, and the stalled enemy ships were knocked into sieves that were leaking.
Zero’s plan is extremely simple.
After the cloning army arrived at the designated location, it had been in contact with the enemy for a short period of time. The time was too short to understand the patrol rules of the enemy ship, but it was not difficult to understand the flight direction of the enemy ship through the pre-arranged reconnaissance equipment.
The cruise range of the Shang tribe is probably a spherical space with colonial stars as the center and a diameter of eight light parts. This range is indeed not small, but it is not much larger for superluminal aircraft.
No matter how small the range is, the merchants are worried about accidental collisions of their own warships. Therefore, in addition to expanding the cruise range, the fleets participating in the cruise must form a formation before entering the super-light speed, and then fly at a certain direction and speed to maximize the avoidance of collision accidents.
Doing so can reduce the chance of accidental collision between one's own warships, and increase the chance of hitting enemy invading warships by reasonably deploying fleets. It is more convenient for the command of the merchant race, and it is really a killing of the number of people.
However, using this flight method will make the warships too concentrated. The density can be compared with the missile group of the Sixth Army's attack portal. In order to prevent humans from being fucked by the tits, the merchants did not fly in a fixed direction, but adjusted the flight direction at all times while maintaining the formation synchronization.
However, the speed of a vehicle that is flying at a super-light speed is so easy to master? The cloning legion only needs to be a little in advance to roughly determine the enemy's flight direction, so as to gain the initiative in combat.
Facts have proved that the judgment of Zero is very correct!
The more than a hundred warships of the Shang clan were destroyed and injured in one fell swoop. No. 0 was immediately overjoyed. He couldn't help but chuckle on the corner of his mouth: "I don't show my power, I think I'm a sick cat!" Although the civil exhibition of war is like a copy of the Sixth Army's first attack portal, war only values the result, not the process.
This method is indeed what Zero thought of when he looked through the combat records of the Sixth Army, but it was nothing more than that he had not had time to test it.
However, the enemy troops near the colonial star did not take any action due to the losses of the cruise fleet. Instead, the enemy ships patrolling outside began to shrink towards the colonial star.
"Order all legions to strengthen their harassment... At this time, the fleet is shrinking 80% to ensure the safe evacuation of colonial stars. I am not as good as your wish!" Zero secretly gritted his teeth, "Order all fleets to deal with the portal first after entering the range, and cut off the enemy's retreat first. I don't believe they dare to stay still!"
The range limit of the magnetic energy missiles equipped by the Republic is three light points. As long as the enemy retreats into the three light points of the colonial star, the four major legions will launch strong attacks at the same time. As for the final decision of the Sixth Army to seize the opportunity, the 17th Army, or the cloning legion to penetrate the Shang clan’s defense circle in one breath, it depends on the specific situation.
No. 0 began to secretly hope that the moment when the enemy's defense circle was reduced to less than three points of light arrived as soon as possible.
But in this world, there are always fewer times when you are happy and more times when you are confused.
Things went against my wishes. The merchants stopped shrinking when they closed the warship until the three lights separated, stabilizing the defense circle again.
This is not only because of understanding the range of magnetic-energy missiles, but also because they do not have the ability to continue to shrink.
After all, the defense circle is built with super-light speed. Even if the speed is slow, it is still super-light speed. When the battleships fly at super-light speed, they do not operate as freely as usual. Maintaining a circular flight trajectory of three light seconds around the colonial star is already the limit of the merchant clan.
But it doesn't matter. If the Shang tribe continues to shrink, the Zero will instead worry about eliminating the enemy's vitality first, or attacking the portal first. Three light points are just three light points. If you can't hit the portal, the same is true for the enemy's warships.
