According to the order of Sophia, Fourth Fleet and Fifth Fleet stood with their backs to the entrance of Star Path and began to set up their front.
Among them, Sophia and Fifth Fleet are located in the center of the defense line, slightly forward, and form a triangle formation. They don't look like they are defending, but they are completely preparing for an assault.
Fourth Fleet was divided into two fleets of 10,000 Orca-class Battleship, temporarily codenamed First Column and Second Column.
The two columns moved to both sides of Fifth Fleet and deployed fire coverage arrays 1 million kilometers away from both sides of Fifth Fleet!
The so-called fire coverage array is to spread out the fleet like a net, ensuring that every warship can fire at the same time, and at the same time, it can cover a larger area with fire.
After the formation was completed, Kabart Empire's 700,000 battleships had already reached a distance of 3 million kilometers.
Their mission is to open the entrance to Cecil Star Path at all costs so that the subsequent fleet can evacuate without hindrance!
"Fire!"
As the commanders of both sides gave orders, the dark void was suddenly illuminated, and countless energy bombs began to beam and quickly passed through the void.
Since the distance is still very far, the commander of the Kabart Empire also uses area coverage shooting!
After all, at this distance, if you want to focus the fire attack, the hit rate will be horribly low.
Coverage shooting is different. No matter how the opponent changes formation or maneuvers, the hit rate can be maintained within an acceptable range.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. Under coverage shooting, it is almost impossible for human warships to be hit by multiple main guns at the same time.
Therefore, for the human fleet with shields, there is basically no threat at this stage. The real threat is that the distance between the two sides shrinks to within 1 million kilometers. At this time, Kabart Empire can start to focus fire and carry out relatively precise attacks.
However, will Sophia give them this opportunity? The answer is obviously no!
Regardless of the fact that there are only 40,000 warships on the human side on the battlefield, to put it bluntly, the firepower that these 40,000 Orca-class Warships can burst out is not weaker than a single Main Legion of the Kabbah Empire, which is 300,000 warships of multiple types.
Moreover, at three million kilometers, both the main gun and the secondary gun of Orca-class Battleship can attack, while in the fleet of the Kabart Empire, only the main gun of Battlecruiser can attack, and the range of the secondary gun is insufficient.
Originally, battleships could also be attacked, but unfortunately, the entire army's battleships were mobilized by Hamid, and 80,000 of them were just destroyed in the orbit of Witt III.
The remaining 50,000 ships are also lying on the temporary modification line under the order of Hamid.
Therefore, there are currently no battleships in the Kabbah Empire's fleet, and the strongest one is Battlecruiser.
In addition to these two ship types, other cruisers, destroyers, frigates, aircraft carriers, etc. do not have the ability to launch attacks from a distance of three million kilometers. Especially frigates, they cannot even start an attack until they have entered one million kilometers.
On the other hand, the human fleet, which is all Orca-class Battleship, will directly cover you with intensive firepower from the entire fleet for 3 million kilometers. Plasma Cannon and numerous Positron Cannon will definitely make the fleet of the Kabart Empire doubt their lives.
In fact, the commander of the Kabart Empire is already doubting life.
The firepower of the 40,000 warships on the opposite side is actually several times more powerful than our own 700,000 warships?
Well, this commander has obviously forgotten that although he has 700,000 warships, the current range allows only 60,000 Battlecruiser to be attacked.
Battlecruiser Both the number of naval guns and the caliber of main and secondary guns are much lower than those of battleships.
As time goes by, the distance between the two sides gets closer and closer, and the firepower on Kabart's side gradually increases as the distance gets closer.
After all, there are more naval guns and ship types that can fire.
"Little Li, it's about to begin. The columns on both wings are beginning to project crossfire toward the center of the opponent's fleet. I'll start the assault with Fifth Fleet. Your crossfire will be extended backwards according to the progress of my assault. Do you understand?"
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Fourth Fleet, located on both wings of Fifth Fleet, gave up frontal coverage shooting and turned 20 degrees toward the center. Then a crossfire was formed. In conjunction with Fifth Fleet's frontal firepower, Kabart Empire's central array was directly shocked!
The next moment, before the commander of the Kabart Empire fleet could react, Sophia began to take action. Fifth Fleet directly operated Near-light Speed Engine at full power and launched an assault straight towards the center of the opponent's array.
The maximum speed of Orca-class Warship is 50,000 kilometers per second, which fully meets the sublight speed standard. For it, 2 million kilometers does not even take a minute.
As for the Kabart Empire's battleship main gun, it takes a minute to recharge after each launch!
It is conceivable that in Interstellar Era, each level of civilization technology is an absolute leap. As long as the civilization is one level higher, it can form an absolute crushing, unless your quantity reaches a level that cannot be compensated by quality.
Just like Lin Fan Zerg in various film and television works in previous lives?
With the assault of Fifth Fleet, the two columns of Fourth Fleet also fired while adjusting the angle of the warship, so that the intersection of firepower continued to move farther away.
This approach directly formed a fire cover for Fifth Fleet during the assault, protecting Fifth Fleet until it rushed into the enemy formation!
The result was not much different from what was expected. Under the cover of Fourth Fleet, including the acceleration time, Fifth Fleet crashed directly into the enemy formation in just over a minute.
Sophia, who cut into the enemy formation, was even more excited.
"Little Lizi, your crossfire can stop now. Let me contain their formations on both wings. Leave the middle to me!"
"Okay, be careful!"
Well, Sophia, who is in the local array, is completely HIGH.
"Haha, fire for me, you can fire wherever you want, they are all enemy ships anyway!"
Everyone in the bridge was sweating. The commander's character was really...
In fact, this is not because Sophia is so excited that he is dizzy, but because he has considerable confidence.
Fifth Fleet What is the situation now? That was directly cut into the Kabart Empire's array. Kabart Empire was afraid of accidental damage and could not use all his strength, but he could fire at the outside of the assault array without any scruples.
The most important thing is that the main gun of Level 3 Civilization can only fire forward. Therefore, if the warship of the Kabart Empire wants to attack Fifth Fleet with its main gun, it must first turn and point the bow of the ship towards the opponent.
Without the main gun, the power of the secondary battery is too small to pose an effective threat to Energy Shield. As for other cruisers, destroyers, battleships, etc., the power of the main guns equipped on them is much smaller than that of the killer whale-class secondary guns.
This is also the reason why humans no longer equip these ship types. Too small size means that they cannot be equipped with powerful naval guns, with small caliber and short range.
What can these ships do today when there are shields? On the battlefield, he is just cannon fodder!
