532. Kill multiple birds with one stone
Wullf-Yularen is a steady naval admiral. He arranged his fleet in a good formation and deployed a defense line in the outer orbit of Geonosis to cover the retreat of ground troops.
"Separatist fleet's formation is too concentrated, they want to force a breakthrough!" Wullf-Yularen looked at the radar screen, thought for a moment, and said, "Invincible-class and Dreadnought-class block the front, and Karrak-class and CR-70 spread out to the flanks! I just want to see how strong the Separatists battleship is."
The formation of Republic fleet immediately began to change. The small warships began to disperse in the surrounding directions up, down, left and right, and began to accelerate, shooting at Separatist fleet from the side.
But contrary to Wullf-Yularen's expectations, Separatist fleet didn't care about Republic fleet's firepower at all and only saw Separatist fleet took Deceiver-class destroyer as the leader, Defiant-class light destroyer as the center, and Generous-class frigate formed a wedge formation on both sides, even without shields, they opened fire and attacked like crazy!
The Galactic Republic small spacecraft that circled back to the flanks kept firing lasers and missiles, but Separatist fleet completely ignored it. Even though the fragile shields on the sides were penetrated and the firepower fell on the battleship armor, causing a violent explosion, thick smoke and fire, they still concentrated their firepower to attack Republic fleet in the front.
Not only that, they also took off all the fighter jets, and the remaining more than 700 Vulture droid fighter also adjusted combat AI this time. They just attacked Republic warship crazily.
Republic fleet The four Invincible-class heavy cruisers ahead of the attack were hit by continuous explosive energy and lasers due to their huge size. The shields kept flashing, and then were overloaded because they were overwhelmed. At this time, more lasers and explosive energy were launched, setting off violent explosions on the thick armor.
After that, even if the shield was recirculated and the shield was raised again, the damaged hull was still burning.
"General, Elf Invincible-class heavy cruiser suffered heavy losses. They lost half of their turrets and are no longer able to fight anymore." A staff officer turned around and said to Wullf-Yularen after reading the data report.
Wullf-Yularen looked solemn and said to Luna-Meng and Luna-Huan who were standing aside, "The two respected Jedi Knight and Separatist fleet have great determination. I hope you can help this time."
But this time, Luna-Meng and Luna-Huan's expressions were also different from usual, looking very serious.
Luna-Meng said, "We cannot fight for a long time."
"Go and do it! Kill as many as you want!" Luna-Huan rolled up his sleeves and walked out.
"Please." Wullf-Yularen gave them a military salute.
Republic fleet's remaining 170 or so fighter jets took off again, including Dream Sisters's modified two-seat ARC-170 fighter jet.
Countless illusions appeared again, and the number of more than 170 fighter jets instantly increased to thousands. These real and fake fighter jets flew straight towards Confederacy of Independent Systems's fleet, firing dense lasers and missiles!
However, this time, General Trench, who had vicious eyes, had already found a way to deal with it. He shook the pointer in his hand and said, "Instruct all ships to ignore those fighter jets. All firepower, The fleet that bombarded Galactic Republic... No matter how many illusions there are, the only ones that can really cause damage are less than 200. I've seen through your capabilities!"
Under his command, the Confederacy of Independent Systems battleships were completely desperate. Even though the Galactic Republic fighters and the small battleships on the flanks kept firing, their only target was the front! It's Geonosis! This is where Republic clone troopers boarded the ship!
On the ground battlefield, General Grievous also exerted his last strength, and an army of nearly 600,000 robots launched a final charge. Geonosis In the desert, you can only see countless robots charging overwhelmingly, as well as explosions and lasers that almost filled the entire sky.
Clone Army kept retreating. They gave up everything they could give up, but they also used waste. They piled up AT-TE and SPHA-T self-propelled artillery that had lacked energy long ago and became fixed garbage as roadblocks and bunkers, and sent death squads to establish the final firepower point in these bunkers.
They also installed bombs in those equipment and detonated them directly when the robots rushed over.
As more and more people boarded the spacecraft, the positions on the ground retreated further and further, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller. If the spacecraft had not continuously provided fire support in the air, the ground positions would have fallen long ago.
Master Yoda, who was commanding the entire army in the command center, suddenly received an emergency report from Fleet Commander Wullf-Yularen, "Master Yoda! Separatist fleet launched an assault! They are simply charging with lifelessness, and my fleet can no longer resist!"
As he spoke, a large number of powerful laser beams fell from the sky, burning huge holes in the planet's atmosphere, and then fell on the ground at the Clone Army's assembly area, setting off waves of horrific explosions!
What's more, the clouds in the sky were ignited, and then a large number of wreckage of the spacecraft fell down. These huge wreckage flew in the sky with the rotation of the planet, and then scattered everywhere. However, after all, some of the wreckage fell on the battlefield here. The power of each piece of wreckage falling was no less than a super powerful heavy artillery shell.
This is the destroyed battleship Confederacy of Independent Systems. These battleships had their engines running at full speed. Even if they were destroyed, they relied on inertia to maintain extremely fast speeds, and then crashed directly into the planet! The damage caused by these debris to the planet is no less than that of the small-scale Orbital Bombardment!
This is General Trench's plan, to actually use Turbolaser cannons to carry out Orbital Bombardment, not too many, otherwise it will fall apart. But if the wreckage of the battleship is used for bombing, no one can say anything!
The wreckage of these battleships that fell on the planet is enough to destroy a quarter of the factories on Geonosis!
"Return to space for reinforcements, all spaceships filled with soldiers and half of the small battleships." Master Yoda said, "They will do whatever it takes, Separatists."
Under his command, Republic warship on the surface of Geonosis turned their engines to maximum and flew towards outer space.
At this time, the fleets of both sides were already strangled together in space. When Republic warship took off from Geonosis, those Confederacy of Independent Systems fleet who were not afraid of death would even abandon the Republic warship in front of them and let the other side beat their own warships to pieces. They also had to switch their firepower and bombard the taking-off Galactic Republic spacecraft with all their strength!
It can be said that these Confederacy of Independent Systems battleships are using their own lives to trade lives with Galactic Republic!
Oh no, Confederacy of Independent Systems's battleships are all controlled by robots! The Commander of every battleship is just a T-series tactical robot!
When General Trench withdrew the satellite for repairs, he had already taken the captains of all the battleships to his new flagship, a Luukri-Hok-class battleship. At that time, he had already made up his mind to sacrifice this fleet and severely damage Galactic Republic and Geonosis!
