I Plunder Endlessly In the Interstellar Age

Chapter 388 Battle in the Minefield

Chen Han ignored the fluttering fire, still looking at the radar nervously.

Now he doesn't need to waste his time talking about some details of the battle, Piaohuo understands it better than him.

Even if there are some small mistakes, Zero will correct them, he just needs to control the overall situation.

And the new Alpha-class heavy frigate was no less frightened than the former.

They can only see densely packed red dots in the radar, and the blue dots representing their companions cannot be seen at all.

It stands to reason that there should be an Alpha-class battleship next to the star gate. Where is the battleship?

Could it be that he left quickly?

But it's not right, there are empty mines all around, and the speed can't be used at all.

Their warships are not equipped with dimensional lightning strikers, so there is no reason to run away from this range.

Before they could figure out the situation, Beiliang's attack started.

After enduring the first wave of firepower, the Alpha-class frigates that had just arrived finally understood where their companions had gone.

In a critical moment, they were also unable to launch firepower, and could only clear the surrounding air mines, and at the same time issued a warning to the fleet, almost doing the same thing as the former.

This led to the same result as the former, the particle shield was broken in just a dozen seconds, the hull became riddled with holes, and became a piece of wreckage before the star gate.

In less than a minute, they directly smashed two Alpha-class heavy frigates that they had been unable to reach, which greatly boosted the morale of everyone in Beiliang.

Everyone including the Executioners and Rangers who had no chance to fire, each clenched their fists in their own battleships.

Although they can't participate in the battle yet, they are also in the team channel, and they also share the radar, and can see the scene where the red dot disappears.

They knew very well that the enemy's reinforcements would not have many Alphas, and now that every time one was killed, the pressure on their own side would be less, and the hope of victory would be greater.

And all this didn't stop. In the next few minutes, every ten seconds, a reinforcement battleship belonging to the Phobos system would emerge from the star gate.

The level changed from Alpha-level heavy guards, to Alpha-level guards, to heavy cavalry-level guards.

The number of frigates alone is close to fifty.

After all the frigates of the heavy cavalry class are released, other types, such as battleships, cruisers, reconnaissance, etc., are all of the heavy cavalry class and above.

From the order in which these battleships came out, it can be seen that the commander of the Phobos reinforcements also had ideas and did not mess around.

Because the frigate has a very strong protective ability, if you know that there is an enemy on the opposite side of the star gate, first use the frigate to attract the enemy's attention, stabilize your position, and control the star gate area.

Afterwards, other battleships came out again, improving the fleet's output and radar range, and gradually forming a front to compete with Beiliang's fleet.

Finally, let warships below the heavy cavalry level come over to replenish the fleet and further control the battlefield.

When you don't know the specific situation on the opposite side of the star gate, it is actually very good to be able to make this kind of arrangement, which can minimize casualties.

It's just that, as Beiliang deployed a large number of empty mines, after making sufficient preparations, this seemingly reasonable behavior is also sending death.

In the tens of minutes of fighting before, Beiliang was like whack-a-mole, one of the reinforcements from the Huowei Department showed up, and Beiliang killed one, and the repetition continued.

Although each battleship of the Phobos reinforcements will clear a large area of ​​empty mines before being killed, and even speed up and directly hit it, trying to break a way for the subsequent battleships with a mortal attitude.

But this has no practical effect. The main thing is that these empty mines are originally consumables, and they are placed here to be destroyed by Fire Guards reinforcements.

As long as it can be delayed enough, it doesn't matter if it is completely destroyed.

Moreover, the cost of empty mines is very cheap. A planet or group with a more mature industry can make one at a cost of tens of thousands or even thousands of Star Union coins.

Calculated based on the fact that a warship of the Phobos reinforcements can destroy an average of one thousand empty mines, it is only ten million.

The most important thing is that the Beiliang warship does not have any wear and tear, it only needs to pay a certain amount of energy, and the cost is not much higher.

Using the tiniest price to exchange a battleship worth hundreds or even hundreds of billions is definitely a huge profit.

It was also because of this that after killing more than 100 Phobos warships in Beiliang, our side still had zero casualties, and the number of air mines was only reduced by hundreds of thousands.

For a battlefield with more than one million empty mines, one-tenth less would not have a great impact, at least it still seemed densely packed.

In addition, all the Phobos do not have are heavy cavalry-class warships, and there are even nearly ten Alpha-class ships among them, which are extremely expensive.

Put on a regular battlefield, these warships can definitely display super combat power.

It is even no exaggeration to say that if one can own these battleships at present, it is equivalent to owning the entire Milky Way system.

It's a pity that no matter how strong he is, if he enters this ambush circle, he will only be called out of order, and he will have no chance other than waiting for death.

Some battleships with ultra-long-range energy-level weapons found their trajectory accurately, and tried to bombard Beiliang for a few waves.

But they are weak, and usually there is only one of them, facing the entire Beiliang fleet, of course they cannot withstand it.

Chen Han doesn't know if it hurts on the side of the Fireguard Department, but from the enemy's point of view, he feels a little pain when he sees the intact battleships instantly turning into wreckage. These are all money...

Originally, Mu Qianye was worried about the overload of his own weapons. After all, if the attack frequency was too high, he would not be able to keep firing in the future.

If a battleship cannot come out, it will be destroyed immediately, and the enemy will form a scale.

Not to mention being able to clear the empty mines faster, it is also a big threat to Beiliang.

Fortunately, after fighting the previous dozens of frigates, the protection value of those next battleships will not be so high, and there is no need to continue to use high-intensity firepower.

Like fighting an Alpha-class heavy frigate, the Exile usually takes two dozen battleships and cruisers to attack for three rounds to break the shield, and the remaining heavy cavalry-class assault and escorts need to be bombarded for one round to kill them.

But other types of warships can break the shield in only two rounds or even one round, and after a few random bombardments, they will become wreckage, and the overall pressure is much less.

Therefore, the battleships on Beiliang's side almost always fired in rotation in the second half of the journey, providing more time for weapons to reduce load.

While ensuring the strength of the attack on the reinforcements of the Phobos, the follow-up is also more secure.

The only thing that can be called troublesome is the heavy cavalry-class assault ship from the Phobos.

It's not that they can fight, but that these warships are equipped with dimensional lightning strikers, which are very capable of running.

After seeing that the situation was wrong, they did not choose to destroy the air mines, but directly activated the dimensional lightning striker and went tens of thousands of kilometers away.

It just so happens that the minefield set up in Beiliang is only 8,000 kilometers away, and the area that can reach tens of thousands of kilometers is considered to be completely out of the minefield.

Without the threat of air mines, their speed can be expanded, they can advance and retreat, and they can even attack air mines from the outside without pressure.

If there is no interference and enough time is given, it is possible for them to detonate the entire minefield.

Fortunately, Chen Han and Mu Qianye were also prepared for this, and let the executioners and Crusader-class warships on the field attack the assault ships that ran out.

They have more than 1,500 warships idle, and there are several or even dozens of them anywhere outside the minefield. No matter where the enemy appears, they can be intercepted.

The Executioner and the Crusader-class battleship, who had never had a chance to fire, were naturally very excited to see the enemy, and they launched their own firepower one after another, wanting to make a contribution.

However, the dimensional lightning striker has multiple segments. The assault ship that had just flashed out of the minefield saw that something was wrong, so it flashed again until it completely left the battlefield.

There is no other way now, the only way to catch up is to let the warships with dimensional lightning strikers on Beiliang's side follow.

But Chen Han didn't give such a strange order. Instead, he asked all his warships not to chase and just keep the current formation.

Because there are only so many warships above the heavy cavalry level, every one of them will weaken the attack on the star gate.

In the case of star gates and enemy ships coming out continuously, if the strength is weak, there will be problems.

He can allow a small number of enemy ships to escape, but he cannot lose the current advantage for the escaped warships.

Moreover, since the heavy cavalry-class assault ships from the Phobos system are equipped with dimensional lightning strikers, there is a high probability that they will not be equipped with energy-level weapons for attack, and the slots and energy are difficult to support.

In this way, the weapons used are still medium-sized weapons, and the range will not be very long. It is not much different from the executioner class, and it will not be said that it will attack tens of thousands of kilometers away.

In this way, even if they ran out, it would be useless and would not pose a threat to Beiliang.

Anyway, they just need to guard the minefield. After killing all the enemy ships coming out of the star gate, these assault ships will die sooner or later.

The cyborgs and Ranger members who received the order also understood very well, and did not pursue them, but returned to the range they were in charge of to be vigilant.

As long as those assault ships can't come, they won't fight, everything is the overall situation.

The real situation was similar to what Chen Han expected. The Phobos assault ships did not carry offensive energy-level weapons.

Under normal circumstances, when they encounter targets that cannot be attacked, they will use dimensional blitz together to engage in close-range firefights, winning by numbers.

But now they are alone, there are at least a dozen warships staying together in Beiliang, and their dimensional lightning strikers can only be used to escape.

Seeing that there were no warships chasing Beiliang in the radar, the commanders in the Phobos assault ships were both happy and worried.

The happy thing is that they don't have to die for the time being, but the sad thing is that they can't do anything to change the current situation.

If their fleet still comes out one by one according to the original plan, it will be wiped out sooner or later.

Without the fleet, what should they do in the Tianhe system...

"Zero, stare at these battleships leaving the minefield, count the number, and when the work here is over, I won't let even one of them escape!"

In the main control room of the Exile, Chen Han stood in front of the main screen in the middle, looked at the red dots gradually appearing on the radar, and said something viciously.

All of their heavy cavalry-class reconnaissance ships' energy-level weapons have now been turned on, and their radars can cover a range of more than 30,000 kilometers around them.

Even if the enemy assault ships use dimensional blitzers one after another, he still has the positions of these warships.

It's just that there is really no good way now, only to let these assault ships bounce around for a while.

"Received, they are still within the radar range, and I can perform remote cracking. If there is no particularly strong geek power, it is estimated that it will only take four minutes." Ling appeared beside Chen Han, with a very humane tone.

It seems to like the ability to use remote cracking, and this is the second time it has taken the initiative to mention it.

This time Chen Han did not refuse, but his eyes lit up.

The battle was too intense just now, if it wasn't for Zero's reminder, he would have forgotten about it.

"Give it a try. It's good to be able to control one ship. If it's really successful, bring it back and let our people take over." After hesitating for a second, Chen Han spoke.

The previous rejection was because the enemy ship was in the minefield, and the time was too long, so they couldn't drag it slowly.

It's different now, the enemy ships have run out, and they can't hit them at a distance of nearly 20,000 kilometers, so they can only seek other means.

If the remote cracking can be completed, it will be of great help to both Beiliang and the situation.

Even if it fails, it won't lose anything, it just consumes a little energy, and the Exile can afford it now.

And they will soon try to crack the planetary fortress of the Milky Way system. Let Ling use this ability a lot, and it should also have the effect of training.

"Understood, let's start the remote cracking." Ling Bian said, a large amount of complicated data appeared on his face at the same time, scrolling at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Seeing Zero's appearance, Chen Han didn't dare to disturb him, and looked at Piaohuo standing on the main console: "Pay attention outside, it may not be able to provide data for a short time."

After this period of understanding, he also knew that it was difficult for Zero to respond to other commands when performing remote cracking, especially when cracking multiple warships.

For example, let Zero do other things now, it may not respond, otherwise the cracking may be interrupted.

"Got it, I'll keep an eye on it." Piao Huo replied without looking back.

Now the super-element SX burst main gun of the Exile is unloading, and there is no need for too much operation, she is idle.

"As long as those assault ships don't leave our radar range within a few minutes, it will be successful." Mu Qianye said in the command channel.

She had already returned to the main control room of the Stingray, and she had killed several enemy ships in front of her.

Even if she was on a different battleship, she could still hear the conversation between Chen Han and Ling.

As for remote cracking, she naturally knows better than Chen Han.

Like the means used by Zero, there is no failure, only the length of time.

The range that their radar can observe is zero cracking range.

The closer the distance, the faster the speed, and so on.

Unless the enemy can realize this and leave the area covered by Beiliang's radar as soon as possible, they will be unable to resist at all.

It's just that it's basically hard to think about it without knowing it in advance.

After all, remote cracking itself is an extraordinary method. It exists in theory, but it is extremely difficult to succeed in actual combat. Few forces deliberately guard against it. It is estimated that the same is true for the Phobos Department.
