Earthlings who know a little bit about military history understand that broadside warfare is an ancient way of warfare.

The outcome of a broadside battle has little to do with the performance of your own ship or floating fortress. It's actually melee combat between two ships (or two floating fortresses in this world) - essentially no different from ground combat. Everything depends on the number of soldiers, equipment, training and morale, and so on.

Once the broadside battle is carried out, it is clear that the number of operators, skills, etc., is at least an insignificant factor, if not waste. No matter how good the cannon is, no matter how well armored it is, no matter how superb the piloting skills are, it is useless once it is engaged in broadside combat. The Redcoat had previously decided on the strategy of engaging in broadside battles, because although this method was not mainstream and risky, it was the only tactic that could pull the enemy to the same level regardless of the difference in the performance of the floating fortress. And because the Sixteenth Legion is nominally only a legion, but in fact, for various reasons, its combat power has far exceeded the level of a normal legion. This is true not only in quantity, but also in equipment. Because it is equipped with a large number of various types of exoskeleton armor, it has strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

It was expected that the Moon would make a move (at least it had been prepared), but it was really beyond everyone's expectations that it would choose to engage in a broadside battle.

"That guy is not in his right mind?!" Similar thoughts skipped through everyone's minds. It's okay to have an advantage, but you have to hit the strengths of others with your own shortcomings, at least people with a little brain won't do this, right?

"Your Excellency Lu Wu, you can't escape this time! You see, although the output of the power furnace is very important and crucial information, but always keep an eye on this, sometimes you will lose the first move!"

That being said, there is really no particular tension here. After the initial shock passed, everyone came to their senses. If it is a normal floating fortress battle, if the two sides are fighting with each other, relying on the main gun, armor and maneuvering ability, this side is actually incomparable. After all, all of them are from the ground forces, and they are all rookies in terms of manipulating the floating fortress, and the level of control is very smelly, coupled with the performance disadvantage of the floating fortress itself, it can be said that there is no need to fight at all. But if it's a broadside battle, this side is full of confidence. After all, they are professional ground forces, and if they can't beat this, there really isn't much to say. Even if the other party is prepared accordingly, there is also the confidence to compete here.

"I'm not afraid of you if you're going to fight!" a mid-ranking officer shouted at the communications device.

Although he was hung by the other party's hook, there was still a lot of time to really want to engage in the battle. This period of time is enough to dispatch troops below and prepare for the battle. The Stygian Moon has no advantage on its side, and it doesn't even have the effect of a surprise attack.

"Broadside? Huh? Why do you think I'm going to engage you guys? Do you think I'm going to have a hand-to-hand fight with you ground bugs with a more sophisticated and powerful floating fortress? Are we really stupid?"

"That's ...... What do you mean?"

"Actually, what I want is a ...... Fight in the ring!"

"The opposing power has increased...... "Someone reported, "their anti-gravity wave generator has been activated!"

What's going on, on the one hand, it is a hook that forcibly pulls the two sides together and finally engages in broadside battles, and on the other hand, it is an anti-gravity wave generator that forcibly pushes the enemy away with anti-gravity to avoid broadside battles...... These two are completely contradictory.

"I see...... Ring Battles ...... It's really vivid. Lu Wu suddenly laughed. "I see what you mean, on the one hand, we can't run away, and on the other hand, we can't get close...... Fighting in a limited range is indeed what is called a ring fight!" he took a deep breath. "But do you think I'm unprepared?"

"If you want to laugh, laugh now. The voice in the communication device was full of pride. "If you want to brag or intimidate, hurry up, because this is the last chance! The power furnace has been raised to the upper limit, the main gun and the secondary gun are charged, and the artillery is ready for shelling battle!"

His last sentence was obviously not for Lu Wu's side, but for his subordinates.

The jumping numbers on the tactical panel make it clear that this command is not a trick, as the opponent's power furnace output is increased in a straight line, and the main gun is charged very quickly. Obviously, they had premeditated all this.

"The power furnace is raised to the upper limit, the main gun and the secondary gun are charged, and the engine is also turned on to the maximum, try to break free of the hook!" this time it was ordered by the red coat.

"Don't be delusional, Your Excellency Lu Wu. It's made for Floating Fortress broadside combat, and your anti-gravity engine is not going to break free. It is simply impossible to cut off unless it is hit by the main gun...... The secondary guns are useless. But even if you hit it with the main cannon, it won't work, there are at least dozens of them waiting for you on my side. Cut one and make up one! See how much firepower you can waste on it!"

"Everyone is in position, enter the first level of combat readiness!" the red coat ordered.

Although we are not optimistic about the operation skills and damage management capabilities in future battles, we must at least make every effort.

"The enemy's main cannon has been fully charged......" warning sounded on the tactical panel.

As soon as the words fell, a white light tore through the heavens and the earth. The intense white light, though weakened by layers, was so bright that it was impossible to see anything in front of the eyes when it finally shone through the porthole. The entire Floating Fortress shuddered slightly—as an energy weapon, the main cannon could only be said to be "irradiated". But as the nanoshield absorbs energy and causes itself to evaporate, there are also some peripheral equipment damage, which will generate certain air waves and shock waves.

"Report the damage!" Before Red's eyes could recover, he immediately shouted the next order.

“…… The nanoshield was shot through, but the armor layer was not penetrated! The energy radiation causes the disabling of the automatic system in a small area of the secondary area, but there is no significant effect. ”

"Isolate the incapacitated area, and carry out automatic damage management in the secondary area!"

"The enemy's main gun is being recharged and is expected to fire again in two hundred standard seconds. Our main cannon has been recharged, please order!"

Redcoat rubbed his eyes, it would be nice if there was a cannon commander in the floating fortress. A qualified artillery commander has the ability to find suitable targets and fire them in a timely manner, without the need for a command from here. The problem, however, is that there is nothing here. Hey, you can only rely on the aiming ability of the automatic system.

"Target, enemy secondary artillery belt!

Rays of light like spider silk filled the entire sky. It's the secondary cannon firing. Compared with the main guns, the secondary guns are not less powerful, and they may be indestructible against ground forces, but for the floating fortress, these silver-white silk threads can only leave a non-obvious gray mark on the shell of the floating fortress, and then disappear. But that's not to say it's useless. Each wave of fire from the secondary gun adds a little pressure to the enemy's nanoshield, providing a chance for the main gun.

At this time, the main gun on Lu Wu's side also fired. A ray of light swept across the sky, stabbing straight at the enemy like a knight's spear. When the light faded, I could see some halos on the other side, which should be some system energy leakage, or even exploded at high temperatures.

Then, a wave of spider silk was shot from this side. However, like the previous enemy, the spider silk seemed to only light up for a while, and did not achieve any results.

The main guns on both sides are accumulating, and the fire of the secondary guns looks fierce and gorgeous, but in fact, it does nothing to the powerful defense and armor of the floating fortress. Just weave a beautiful and deadly web in the void.

Redcoat turned his head. At this time, everyone else had already left, only Aqi, Ivan and Yin. Especially Yin, his face was already pale. Although he was a master repairer, he clearly had no experience with this kind of scene.

"Your Excellency Lu Wu," Hongyi said. "Please leave now!"

"Leave?" Lu Wu didn't react for a while.

"I didn't expect the other side to adopt this approach...... This is my responsibility. I should have thought of it, but ......" Redcoat sighed. "Get out of the Floating Fortress. Inside the fortress, there should be a few airships. If you can use the Floating Fortress itself as cover, you should be able to avoid the secondary artillery. ”

Lu Wu's face quickly changed and became ...... Pretty quirky.

"I know it's not right, but it's ...... We will surely lose!" said Red. "The other side aimed at the broadside of our most heavily armored side...... Although the place is the strongest, once shot through, there is a power furnace not far behind. If the power furnace is attacked and the antimatter leaks...... It's all over. ”

"You mean...... Isn't there a chance of winning?"

"Not at all. Red replied very frankly. "Please...... Let's go. There is no shame in that. did not anticipate the enemy's tactics and failed to react in time...... This is my responsibility. You can leave with Master Hide. ”

Lu Wu nodded and looked at the others around him. Yin's face turned pale, and he couldn't stand still. Ivan was silent, but his face was anxious. Aqi was a little dazed.

"The authority of the main gun was transferred to the commander of the gun, and the secondary gun focused on attacking the enemy's secondary gun firing port...... The anti-gravity wave activates to prevent the enemy from rushing up. The other party's voice sounded in the communication device. At this time, the two sides have completely exhausted the dagger, and there is no need to communicate. But I don't know if it was negligent or deliberate, but the communication device is still running. Neither side seems to have any intention of turning it off.

"Commander, the other party's hook is very tight, and the engine is still running at full strength...... A cutting job is required to get rid of it. It is recommended to start the cutting job. ”

"Start cutting right away. Lu Wu said.

Redcoat shook his head. It's too late, and the other side is two, and there is no point in cutting off one. In fact, as they say, cut one and people will immediately make up for it. It only takes a short time. If you want to get rid of it completely, you will probably have to cut off a dozen of them - how much time and effort will it take? If the Floating Fortress can hold up to that extent, it will not need to be cut. By then, I guess I would have already destroyed the opponent's floating fortress.

"Don't worry, there's still a chance!" Lu Wu was unexpectedly calm, not only calm, but also confident. Hongyi didn't understand where Lu Wu's confidence came from at first, but he immediately thought of it.

Be...... It is said that Lu Wu saved Kecha Goyat once, so he was rewarded. So this time Lu Wu only asked for help......

The red coat looked out of the porthole behind him. At this point, the night was dark, and there was only darkness as far as human eyesight could see. But the Reds knew that there should be a large number of Destroyers hiding in this darkness. As long as Lu Wu greets him...... Don't look at the extremely bad scene right now, it's for one-on-one combat. Once the Destroyer enters the war, things are very different.

Hongyi turned his head, and before he could speak, he saw Lu Wu walking to the front of the tactical panel.

"Identification ...... Name: Lu Wu...... The supreme authority of the Floating Fortress ......" electronic tone to prompt. When he was in concealment, he had already turned Lu Wu into the highest authority here.

"Ask for control of the Floating Fortress engine. Lu Wu said. "Command authority transferred to my terminal...... It's mine...... Inside the new terminal. By the way, it also asks for control of the main gun of the floating fortress, right here, I will control it myself!"
