419. General
When Luukri-Hok-class freighter's huge ring-shaped hull emerged from hyperspace, Ayrou was shocked even though he knew it was just an unarmed cargo ship.
This ring with a diameter of more than 3,000 meters has a sphere with a diameter of 1,029 meters in the middle. Such a huge scale represents industrial capabilities that Ayrou will be unable to match in several lifetimes.
What's even more frightening is that the spacecraft is located just in front of the incoming Ayrou supply fleet!!
"How is it possible! How did they do it!! The jumping point is obviously within the gravity well of Kuna's Tooth!" General Telsi was shocked, "Notify the supply fleet to avoid it immediately!"
"They are still in the hyperspace channel, how can we notify them?" In desperation, the communications soldier also directly responded.
"Where's our spaceship!?" Telsi shouted.
"5 minutes left!!"
At this moment, white light flashed, and more than ten transport ships left the hyperspace channel and appeared in the universe! After the pilots of the transport ships took a clear look at the scenery outside the portholes, they were all stunned by the huge Luukri-Hok-class freighter in front of them!
Almost at the same moment, Kanidi gave an order, and the fighter jet took off from Luukri-Hok-class freighter.
More than 100 Blade-class fighters took off simultaneously from the extremely wide flying platform of the cargo ship and headed straight for the Ayrou transport ship.
Blade-class fighter is limited by performance and space. It can only install blue laser, primary energy shield and up to 4 Gemini missile. This has squeezed the structure of this model to the limit.
But these fighter jets piloted by B-1 robots are enough to pose a threat to transport ships that only have basic defensive firepower! Ayrou's transport ships scattered and fled, no longer daring to approach the direction of the planet. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Telsi was very decisive and immediately issued an order, "They don't have enough fighter jets! All spaceships take off fighter jets and focus on attacking the cargo ship!"
The transport ships have all been dispersed by Blade-class fighter. It will take a lot of time to rescue them one by one. At this time, it is very likely that some transport ships will be shot down. It is better to directly encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, attack Luukri-Hok-class freighter, and force the opponent's fighter jets to return for reinforcements.
The Ayrou fleet currently in Kuna's Tooth Planet includes a total of 10 Defender-class frigate and 5 CR-12 light frigates. Defender-class is an early warship produced by Rendili StarDrive, 94 meters long, 71 meters wide, and flat in shape. CR-12 is an early model of Corellia Engineering Company's most classic CR-series corvette, 100 meters long.
Of course, like Defender-class, the so-called 'early' refers to the Sith Wars period, about 3,000 years ago... Although technology develops to a certain level, bottlenecks will appear, which means there will no longer be such a leapfrog development from steam to electricity. Therefore, the technology of 3,000 years ago was not necessarily so backward that bows and arrows could fight against electromagnetic guns. At most, assault rifles could fight against electromagnetic guns.
Therefore, these warships that were mass-produced during the war and later eliminated were received by those planets and became their defense fleets.
After thousands of years of imitation, Ayrou has been able to build some crude imitations of this kind of warship. This is where their greatest confidence lies.
Regardless of quality, Ayrou, which owns two industrial worlds, at least has a large fleet.
Sure enough, as Telsi expected, this Luukri-Hok-class freighter didn't even fight back and just kept being beaten passively.
"Continue the attack!! Sink that cargo ship! Give Dawn Star Planet some color!" Telsi shouted.
"General! Dawn Star Planet has dispatched a large number of off-road vehicles and has arrived at the outskirts of the city. They are firing at residential buildings!" the communications soldier said loudly.
"Deploy 5 brigades to resist! Other ground troops should not act rashly!" Telsi immediately ordered.
Hundreds of Ayrou soldiers disguised as civilians boarded hoverbikes and rushed straight towards Dawn Star Planet's convoy. Gunshots suddenly sounded outside the city.
Dawn Star Planet sent more than 30 Warthog off-road vehicle and more than 50 Mongoose off-road motorcycle. They fired at the residential buildings on the periphery of the Ayrou colony, and even used rocket launchers to launch rockets for a burst of bombing. After seeing the Ayrou defenders taking action, they immediately began to retreat.
The angry Ayrou followed closely, but they soon discovered that although they could catch up with Warthog on a hoverbike, they were no match for the opponent's powerful firepower and were quickly dispersed. However, the team of Dawn Star Planet did not run far, they just kept hanging and constantly harassed everywhere with their mobility.
Telsi did not notice that the three fronts formed now formed a strange balance.
Blade-class fighter lacks firepower and cannot destroy the transport fleet in a short time. Ayrou's spaceship cannot pose a threat to Luukri-Hok-class freighter in a short time. The ground battlefield also presents a situation where those who can catch up can't beat it, and those who can beat it can't catch up.
At the same time, Black Horn City command center, Volgograd-Kanidi have been standing in front of the screen, watching the battle intently without saying a word.
"Sir, how did you do that?" The series of operations just now made the adjutant Jin Chen, who had already been deeply suspicious of Kanidi, drop his jaw.
"I have been monitoring the arrival time and route patterns of Ayrou's supply fleet. With Luukri-Hok-class freighter's electronic system, it is not difficult to do this." Kanidi said calmly.
"But... how could that cargo ship jump directly into the planet's gravity well through hyperspace navigation?! And if it's not in that position, it's likely that the other party's transport fleet will run away!"
"It's not a gravity well there, at least not now." Kanidi replied, "Because in the last week of this standard month, the flare activity around the star has greatly increased, which will affect the magnetic field of Kuna's Tooth Planet, thus slightly reducing the actual range of the gravity well. The star chart of the navigation system will not record this change, because it does not affect navigation."
Jin Chen exclaimed, "So, you have been planning this battle for a long time?!"
"Understanding the astronomical laws within the jurisdiction and the activities of neighbors is a Colony Commander's job. I never want to fight with anyone." Kanidi punched the table hard, filled with resentment.
"But now we are... we should be able to kill Ayrou's small fleet, right?" Carl Si-Walton on the side also asked.
Kanidi gently touched the beard on his chin, "With our strength, we cannot checkmate all three lines, so I need to test the opponent's chess strategy, and then consider how to... checkmate!"
