514.Battle of Geonosis (4)
The formation of the 20 Acclamator-class assault ship immediately changed, with the flagship Indomitable in the center, the other seven warships led by Magnificent and Inspector launched an assault, and the remaining 12 warships fully loaded with the Clone Army provided fire support from the rear.
Acclamator-class assault ship is not just a landing ship, they are also very powerful battleships.
The heavy-duty Turbolaser Turret installed on the side of Acclamator-class began to turn, aiming at the 10 Munificent-class communications frigate that had also deployed in the array ahead, and opened fire directly!
Bright and thick explosive laser beams were fired instantly, lighting up the dark universe.
"Fight back immediately! Don't let Republic fleet get close to our transport ship!" On the bridge of a Luukri-Hok-class battleship ship that Confederacy of Independent Systems serves as the flagship, General Grievous roared and gave the order.
Fleet Commander Trabo was sweating coldly. He very carefully deployed his 10 Generous-class frigates, trying to block Galactic Republic's Acclamator-class assault ships and dragging the battle into a long-range artillery battle.
But Commander Mabel Garson on Galactic Republic's side didn't give him this chance at all. Seven Acclamator-classs rushed forward, turned the engine thrust to the maximum, and concentrated the shield energy directly in front. Acclamator-class's huge body began to accelerate continuously, and crashed into Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet's formation!
At this moment, the white light of hyperspace jump appeared again on the edge of Geonosis, and then six Mel-class cruiser broke away from the jump and appeared here. This type of cruiser is 195 meters long. Although it is not large, it is maneuverable and has strong firepower.
At the same time, a communication was connected to the bridge of Indomitable, and a Feeorin with an octopus head appeared on the screen, "We are Rock Avengers, coming to hunt down Saboss Clan. Do you need any help?"
Mabel Garson's hand quickly moved across the console, and countless data came into view, "Rock Avengers, pirate organization, leader Nim (Nym), has been robbing Trade Federation's fleet in recent years. In view of your past, you can be allowed to join the battle. Please cover the flanks so that our fleet can break through Geonosis's defense."
"I just want to cause some trouble for Trade Federation and completely eliminate Saboss Clan!" Nim said.
"Then you chose a good time. Saboss Clan is fighting Jedi Knight in Geonosis's atmosphere." Mabel Garson said.
"Then let's do this!" After Nim finished speaking, he began to command the six Mel-class cruiser on his side to attack from the flanks.
The fleets of both sides continued to approach, and then Mabel Garson gave an order. All Acclamator-class assault ships opened their hangars, and a large number of V-19 Torrent fighters took off, rushing over like locusts!
Seeing Galactic Republic taking off fighters, Rock Avengers under Nim also took off dozens of H-6 Havoc fighter-bombers. This is an excellent-performance fighter-bomber designed and manufactured by Nubia Engineering Corporation.
At this time, Confederacy of Independent Systems's warships lost most of their fighters due to the previous attack by Jedi Knight, and many fighters entered the atmosphere to support the battle there. Faced with Republic fleet, more than 400 V-19 Torrent fighter with excellent performance took off, and they were completely caught off guard!
Under the command of Melb Garson, Republic fleet rushed directly into the formation of Confederacy fleet as quickly as possible. Melb Garson, who graduated from the Republic Navy Academy, gave full play to the characteristics of Acclamator-class as a landing ship with strong side firepower, rushed into the formation of Confederacy fleet, and turned the battle into a chaotic battle.
Confederacy of Independent Systems Fleet Commander Turbo did not expect Acclamator-class assault ship's actions at all. Instead, he was thrown into disarray by the impact of Galactic Republic V-19 Torrent fighter. The powerful frontal firepower of the 10 Generous-class frigates was completely unable to be used, but was brought into his own rhythm by Republic fleet.
While the fleets of eight Acclamator-class and Confederacy of Independent Systems were entangled in front of them, the battle situation was clearly displayed through the projection and sent to the command center.
Confederacy of Independent Systems's fleet was completely unable to withstand Republic fleet's offensive, and Mabel Garson's tactics left Tribo at a loss.
Confederacy of Independent Systems is mainly Outer Rim Territories. There are basically no Naval Academy in the galaxy within this range. Commander on Confederacy of Independent Systems, except for self-taught geniuses like Trench, most of them are self-taught mediocre people. They have no ability to adapt to the battle situation except for yelling and charging.
Unfortunately, that's the kind of person Turbo is. He was originally Fleet Commander, Trade Federation's debt collector, and he usually bullied planets that had no industry or military. He really needs to be compared with a Galactic Republic regular Naval Academy graduated officer like Mabel Garson.
Although Galactic Republic has basically abandoned force since Rusan Reforms, the officer training system passed down for thousands of years immediately showed gaps in such details. Even though Galactic Republic's Tactical Advisor Mabel Garson is an officer who follows the instructions, she is still not comparable to a debt collector like Turbo.
What's more, Master Yoda is personally in charge.
If the firepower of the Acclamator-class assault ship is opened from a distance, there is still a huge gap compared with the Generous-class. However, when the two sides engage in a melee, the disadvantage of the Munificent-class communications frigate, whose main gun is concentrated on the front, is fully revealed.
General Grievous also focused on one thing and lost the other, because at this time, the Luukri-Hok-class battleship that he could directly command were completely unable to move and were loading the robot army. The only Telbo fleet that could be counted on was completely unable to withstand the 20 Acclamator-class assault ship Galactic Republic's lifeless raids.
This made Grievous, who had experienced hundreds of battles, feel a strong sense of powerlessness for the first time. The feeling of being powerless made him almost crazy.
"Turbo! Take care of your fleet and keep your distance! Keep your distance!!" General Grievous roared in the communication. After discovering that Turbo's fleet was ineffective, he began to mobilize fleets from other directions to come for support.
He had no idea that Republic fleet would be so difficult to deal with, nor did he expect that the famous general and genius promoted by those corporate giants would be so unbearable.
Mabel Garson saw that Confederacy fleet was already fighting on its own and had no formation at all, so she decisively ordered, "Break through Separatists's formation and land on Geonosis!"
Twelve Acclamator-class assault ship ships fully loaded with the Clone Army immediately began to press on, and the more powerful firepower made Turbo's fleet completely focused on one thing and the other.
At the same time, Tang Xiao, who was watching the public execution of Obi-Wan in the arena, looked at the communicator and then sent a message:
Attack!
