2525.First Battle of Boonta (Part 2)
At this time, Galactic Empire's fleet was already a little overwhelmed.
Whether the powerful high-energy directional EMP cannon on both sides of Destruction battleship can cover an extremely wide range, and the attack just now also shows that even Imperial-class Star Destroyer with electromagnetic protection turned on cannot completely shield the influence of EMP.
What's even more deadly is that they haven't been able to turn on the electromagnetic protection to the maximum!
Because once this happens, they will be attacked by large cruise missiles that can penetrate shields. That kind of large cruise missile is very powerful. If there is no shield to block it, it can directly damage their warships.
In such a situation where the battleships of the Twelfth Army's fleet began to hesitate. Some warships want to take the risk of making a large-scale detour, bypassing Destruction battleship, and attack the 15 strange warships that have been identified as "Typhoon-class battlecruiser" in the intercepted communications. There are also some battleships that want to rush forward and fight Destruction. However, more battleships slowed down and chose to wait and see.
Adal Talon has rich combat experience. He fought all the way from the front line. He is a truly talented and knowledgeable general, not a layman who rose to power through nepotism. However, he was somewhat helpless in the face of such a situation. Unless he was determined to risk the loss of a large number of warships and attack forcefully, he really couldn't think of any good way to break the situation now.
His combat deployment was already very good, but what he encountered was still a technological gap. Leading technology, coupled with the right people, leaves Galactic Empire's fleet at a loss.
However, now there is one more card!
Adal Talon stared at the holographic combat star map. The fighter formation that had taken off earlier had bypassed Destruction battleship and headed straight for Separatist fleet's main team. Now, there is still a chance!
Among Separatist fleet, only the 15 Typhoon-class battlecruiser and 10 Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser can truly be considered advanced warships. The other 5 Deceiver-class destroyer and 20 Behemoth-class battlecruiser are relatively capable. Other battleships such as Kohl-class Battlecruiser, Defiant-class destroyers, and Luukri-Hok-class battleship have no effect except that the fireworks they release are a little bigger!
Most of the fighter formations launched by Adar Talon's fleet were Galactic Empire's most advanced fighter jets. Among them, there are only 100 TIE/LN light fighters, and the other more than 300 are all TIE Interceptor fighter and TIE Advanced fighter. These fighters, combined with TIE bomber, are enough to cause devastating damage to Separatist fleet!
Looking at General Grievous, most of those who took off from Luukri-Hok-class battleship are still Wraith fighter, and there are even Vulture droid fighter to make up the number. This is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the the Empire fighter formation.
Thinking of this, Admiral Adar Talon touched the necklace around his neck and thought of his wife and children living on the tenth floor of Coruscant... Although he did not have the ability to let his wife and children live on the surface of the most luxurious and environmentally friendly planet, being able to live on the tenth floor and at least see the sun was a life that countless people could only imagine in their dreams.
It all depends on yourself!
Kingdom of Dawn, is the invader! That's right, they are invaders who invaded their own country and trampled on their own Homeworld! The invaders will be repulsed! Defeated! Sweeped into the dust of history!
Admiral Adar Talon's eyes became extremely firm, and he finally made up his mind and said loudly, "High-speed Light Cruiser Squadron dispatch immediately! Advance at full speed! Follow the fighter formation to launch an assault! Destruction battleship, leave it to the battleship to deal with it!"
"Yes!"
"Call the battleships to keep their distance! Concentrate firepower against Destruction battleship!" Adar Talon continued to order.
"General... what to do with those shield-piercing missiles?" the adjutant asked.
Adar Talon looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "According to the scanned images and analysis of the 15 Typhoon-class battlecruiser, these warships do not have many close-in defense guns. In addition, there are eight main gun turrets. In other words, they are positioned as long-range fire support ships. In addition, there are definitely not many reserves of such large cruise missiles that can penetrate shields! So... trust our fighter formations!"
"Yes!" The adjutant nodded and saluted.
the Empire's fleet now began to make a large-scale detour, bypassing Destruction battleship and attacking Separatist fleet's main body in the rear. The front of the roundabout assault is the fighter formation, followed by the high-speed Light Cruiser Squadron, and finally the battleship formation.
From a distance, the units closer to the front are smaller, like a pair of huge claws.
However, Kingdom of Dawn fleet was only retreating in an orderly manner, and Destruction battleship was also fighting and retreating, always maintaining suppression of the Galactic Empire battleship formation.
In fact, if Galactic Empire's main fleet swarms up now, Destruction battleship will definitely not be able to match it. But the problem is that the existence of those Shield-piercing missile makes Destruction battleship and EMP cannon the most deadly threat. Just being hit by EMP cannon is at least not fatal, but if you are hit by Shield-piercing missile at this time, you won't even be able to save Celestials!
Therefore, if you want to repel or even sink Destruction battleship, you will have to pay a huge price. In other words, you must have a group of warships to serve as human shields and sacrifice yourself.
The problem is that there are no such people in the Galactic Empire's army.
If Adar Talon gave such an order, the captains of Imperial-class Star Destroyer would not obey it. Not to mention that he is just a person who climbed up from the bottom of the army. Among the many children of Inner Rim and Core Worlds, many are serving as captains of Star Destroyer. When a critical moment comes, those noble children who originally looked down upon Adal Talon will never give him any face.
Therefore, if Adal Talon wants to fight Destruction battleship now, the only prerequisite is to first deal with the 15 Typhoon-class battlecruiser. Only by removing this deadly blade hanging from the head of every battleship can those captains be willing to fight Destruction.
At this moment, the fighter formations from both sides began to exchange fire. As expected, the combination of Wraith fighter and Vulture droid fighter was knocked to pieces by TIE Interceptor fighter and could only scatter in all directions.
The experienced the Empire fighter pilot immediately grabbed the fighter plane, accelerated towards those Kingdom of Dawn warships, covered TIE bomber and prepared to carry out a fatal attack with heavy-duty anti-ship Proton Torpedo!
However, at this moment, an extremely strong shock wave suddenly exploded around those Kingdom of Dawn battleships!
