62. Iron Tooth attacks (final)

[After calculation, Hammerhead-class cruiser has a total of four engine nozzles. They are the left and right steering nozzles, the central main nozzle and the upper auxiliary nozzle. You need to inject Proton Torpedo from the auxiliary nozzle above, and ensure an included angle of 10 to 15 degrees, so that Proton Torpedo can explode at a distance of 20 meters from the main engine. The explosion-proof compartment will isolate the power of the explosion and prevent the engine from exploding, but the electromagnetic waves generated by the proton cloud will completely cut off the power of the engine.]

"I understand, let me try." Tang Xiao responded slowly.

Over there, more than 60 Blade-class fighter are still trying their best to attack the cruiser, but the Gemini missile has been used up. The power of the airborne infrared laser cannon is really limited, and it can only be an attack that is better than nothing.

The remaining two Hammer-class frigate are now the main force of the attack. The plasma bombs they are equipped with have extremely high damage to the shield. This weapon was originally a weapon for bombers in "Homeworld" and was mainly used to deal with large ships. Now it is installed on frigates, and the effect is even more obvious.

But at the same time, these two frigates have also become the main attack targets of Ironfang-class cruiser, which forces them to avoid them at all times, and there is almost no chance of being able to deal with violent output at close range.

But even so, under the continuous attacks, Ironfang-class cruiser's shield was on the verge of collapse.

Tang Xiao controlled the YT-1000 Lancer spacecraft to quickly enter the battlefield. As soon as it entered the range, the T-850 controlled the spacecraft's turret to fire a burst of fire at the cruiser.

Ironfang-class cruiser immediately detached a secondary gun to shoot Lancer, but Tang Xiao was now fully in the state, and it was impossible for a mere two-unit Turbolaser Turret to pose a threat to him.

But the most important issue now is the shield!!

If the cruiser's shield cannot be broken, even if Proton Torpedo is launched, the torpedo will explode when it comes into contact with Deflector Shield, and the power of the explosion will be spread to the entire shield. After the power is dispersed, it will not cause much damage at all!

Tang Xiao maneuvered the spacecraft to go directly behind the cruiser, constantly adjusting its direction. However, the injection route calculated by Mainframe was too harsh, and the cruiser was constantly avoiding turns. Tang Xiao was unable to align it several times.

In addition, the gunner on the cruiser probably thought that Tang Xiao was up to no good, so another secondary gun turned around and fired in the direction of Tang Xiao in the rear. That position is exactly where the secondary battery can attack!

As time passed, Ironfang-class cruiser's shield still existed, and Tang Xiao still could not enter the optimal launch position.

Constantly using the Force's perception to adjust his direction, and at the same time focusing on the angle of the cruiser's secondary guns to avoid shooting in advance, Tang Xiao is now covered in cold sweat.

Suddenly he felt a palpitation in his heart. This was the feeling of an approaching crisis! He subconsciously controlled the spacecraft to swerve, but it was still a step too late!

A shot of Turbolaser came in an instant and hit Lancer directly! Even if it was just the cruiser's secondary gun, it was very powerful. It broke Lancer's shield with just one shot. The violent explosion even caused great damage to the outer shell of Lancer.

"Two minutes left, manager! Your spaceship can no longer withstand the next shot! Retreat!" Qi Jian's urgent voice came from the communicator.

"No!! Fourth Civilization, there has never been a soldier who retreated from battle!!" Another voice suddenly came from the communicator, and then I saw the two Hammer-class frigates suddenly accelerating and rushing towards Ironfang-class cruiser!

"Judith, enter the calculation results into Fire Control Radar, and then help me correct the course at any time. T-850, after entering the range, control the turret to attack the cruiser. Their shields can no longer hold up. I need to completely defeat their Deflector Shield within 3 minutes!"

"Understood."

"Okay, manager."

Ironfang-class cruiser is still escaping outwards, and the distance between it and the mothership has widened to more than 400 kilometers. Once the distance exceeds 570 kilometers, it will break away from the mothership's gravitational circle, allowing the hyperspace jump to be initiated.

The two Hammer-class frigate gave up evasion at the same time. The pilot roared and drove the spacecraft straight towards the cruiser. At the same time, the launcher equipped with plasma bombs kept firing. Dozens of light blue light balls instantly exploded on the Ironfang-class cruiser's shield!

Almost at the same time, Ironfang-class cruiser's gunfire hit one of the frigates. The frigate was immediately submerged by the explosion, and exploded into countless fragments within a few seconds.

But at this moment, the faint light curtain around the Ironfang frigate flickered and disappeared completely!

The shield is broken!!

Tang Xiao's eyes were dazzled, and he re-entered the firing position against the cruiser's gunfire! The cruiser's secondary guns kept firing at him, but Tang Xiao had completely taken the risk. He concentrated all his energy on sensing. Every time the secondary guns were fired, he predicted it, and he could avoid it in advance every time!

"One minute left!" In the mothership command center, both Qi Jian and Carl-Walton gritted their teeth and looked at the battle situation in the holographic projection. Veins appeared on their foreheads, their fists were clenched, and even their fingernails were dug into their flesh. "Auro class freighter Take off immediately!!"

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly occurred inside Ironfang-class cruiser! Several cabins of the battleship near the engine were suddenly engulfed by the explosion, and the outer armor was blown open. A large amount of flames disappeared instantly after contacting the vacuum of the universe, leaving only the shock wave generated by the explosion that continued to spread.

At this time, because the engine was affected by the explosion, the speed of the cruiser suddenly decreased!

"30 seconds left!!"

In the mothership hangar, YV-865 Auro class freighter loaded with two T-850s and 70 fully armed Marines immediately took off, flew out of the hangar and flew directly towards Ironfang-class cruiser.

"That's it now!!" Tang Xiao's eyes were already bloodshot. He pushed the joystick violently and accurately entered the launch position this time, "Launch!!!"

Tang Xiao opened his eyes and found himself lying in the medical room. There are all kinds of bottles, potted plants, medical equipment and the like floating around.

"This is..." Tang Xiao groaned.

"Are you awake, manager? Okay, I understand that you have recovered, so you should be able to put these things down now, right? You know I have been staring at this pot of pothos on my head for half an hour, worried about when it would hit my forehead." Cun Te's voice came from the side.

Tang Xiao was startled, seeing that those things were about to fall, he quickly used the Force to control these things, especially the pot of pothos floating on Cun Te's forehead - now this thing was less than 5 centimeters away from Cun Te's forehead.
