The situation is critical and extremely strange.

Starfleet, which is sailing at high speed, has been attacked from multiple directions, and the time interval is getting closer and closer.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Are we surrounded?"

Oletru asked with a loud roar of emotion.

The combat intelligence officer immediately stood up and replied: "Report! At present, only one enemy ship has been found attacking us, flying around and at a very fast speed, reaching 200,000 kilometers per second, and we have continuously carried out artillery salvos, and before the shells and projectiles have arrived, it has already flown a long distance, so so up to now, it has not hit the target once!"

200,000 kilometers per second!

What a terrifying speed!

Oletru also immediately figured it out, the opponent has such a fast speed advantage, and the circle attack is completely simple and practical tactics.

The opponent only has a single warship, and it is impossible to take the initiative to give up the speed advantage and fight against Oletrous's fleet, which is too stupid and easy to fall into encirclement.

On the contrary, if you give full play to the speed advantage and attack in a circle, you can continue to bite Oletrou's fleet, and it is safe to launch an attack without a simple attack.

This simple tactic is like a boxer match.

Oletrou's fleet can be imagined as a bloated and slow fighter with a punch that is powerful and powerful, but slow to punch.

And what about the other side?

The opponent is athletic and fast, and his punches are fast and powerful.

Fast fighters, of course, will choose to use their maneuver to their advantage and attack around the bulky boxer, who can dodge away at any time if the bulky fighter wants to pounce on him.

Keep a safe distance!

Keep maneuvering fast!

Very cunning and pragmatic tactics, not pretentious at all.

Oletro even felt that if he was the commander of the other party, he would choose such a method of warfare, simple, efficient, and safe, but he was obviously not, he Oletru was now the target of the hanging.

Rumble!

A high-speed interstellar frigate with the task of perimeter vigilance and protection was suddenly hit by many energy beams, and the energy cannonball exploded in its body in an instant, and the interstellar battleship, which was hundreds of meters long, instantly collapsed and splashed everywhere, turning into countless space junk.

Oletru's heart couldn't help but chuckle, a little heavy.

The 18 escorted starships, not long after the start of the battle, were slightly damaged by two and damaged one, which was a really bad start.

"Order! The fleet formation will be expanded by 200 kilometers apart, and space fighters will be dispatched to intercept the enemy warships in sections! At the same time, the search defense will be strengthened!"

Oletroux couldn't help it, he wanted to take the initiative to change.

The current situation is very obvious, the other party is going to use the advantage of mobility and firepower output to drag them to death, but Oletru will not be restrained, he took the initiative to attack.

Suddenly.

The starships that are sailing at high speed need to continuously release space fighters in the coming year, and these fighters will soon fly in three directions after breaking away from the fleet, and they are each responsible for the 120-degree air defense sector.

At the same time, the formation of the entire fleet also began to change, and it was still a diamond-shaped octahedron, but the star field occupied by the formation was rapidly expanded, and the interval between the warships was further expanded.

Widening the distance is conducive to better display the firepower of each ship, and at the same time, it is also conducive to dispersion and defense, increasing the difficulty of the enemy's attack, after all, the existing 22 interstellar ships are still scattered sparsely, and they are still in a state of high-speed navigation, even if they are to be eliminated one by one, it will take time.

What Oletero needs most is time.

While widening the distance between the battleships makes it more difficult for the enemy warships to attack, a large number of space fighters he sent are also constantly rushing into the distance, and they can carry out three waves of attacks on the enemy ships successively.

……

Inside the Dragon Soul 01 Star Destroyer.

The tactics of the enemy warships opening up the distance and sending a large number of space fighters to intercept them in sections at the same time were clearly seen by Qin Tian.

"It seems that the commander of the other party is not a fool!

Qin Tian did not immediately change the established tactics, the space fighter sent by the other party did not fly very fast, and if he wanted to fly a distance of more than a million kilometers, it would take some time.

Therefore, Qin Tian could still keep the same and continue to attack around the opponent's fleet at high speed, not only that, but Qin Tian also took the initiative to adjust the course angle, so that the orbiting trajectory of the star destroyer became closer to the opponent's fleet.

Since the opponent has expanded the formation space, Qin Tian will take the initiative to get closer, shorten the attack distance, and the accuracy is still good.

The shaped cannon maintained a high rate of fire, bursting out a large number of energy cannonballs round by round and smashing at the enemy battleship, although the energy cannonballs and laser beams flew fast enough, but the opponent's battleship did not stop there and wait to be beaten.

Therefore, each attack, is given a certain amount of advance, the fire control system will be the opponent's fleet and the ship's speed and course, are comprehensively considered and calculated, equivalent to each shot, is aimed at a certain distance in front of the enemy ship, but the locked enemy ship, in a few seconds, if there is any maneuver, such as speed or deceleration, or adjust the course, it may lead to failure to hit.

Because of this, attacking a ship requires multiple salvos, giving multiple different advances, thus creating a 'probability coverage' around the enemy ship, thus increasing the hit rate.

Battleship shooting in space warfare is a bit similar to the Age of Discovery, where artillery sailboats cruising on the sea are chasing and fighting on the undulating sea, which is not only a test of the performance of the battleship, but also a competition of willpower and endurance.

Now Qin Tian is still very lucky, he encountered an enemy ship with a lower technical level, if both sides belong to the same technical level, then the fight will really take time and life.

After several critical hits in a row, he finally achieved the result of destroying an enemy ship.

At this time, a large number of space fighters sent by the enemy fleet had already been slaughtered in a mighty oblique direction.

"The main artillery continues to attack the enemy fleet, and the secondary artillery breaks away from the ship attack battle and enters the air defense combat mode!"

Qin Tian immediately adjusted his combat deployment and reduced the intensity of his attack on the enemy fleet, but he did not send space fighters to fight with the opponent's fleet.

The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.

Since the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer has a very obvious technical advantage, why should it fight with the enemy's space fighter group?

However, the more than 100 enemy space fighters that swarmed in did not intend to let go of the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer easily.

They came from a long distance, and the speed was not fast, and it was wishful thinking to catch up with the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer, so they flew diagonally and flew in front of Qin Tian in advance, and then adjusted their course and flew towards Qin Tian head-on.

Hedging tactics!

A large group of space fighters flashed their lights, and their engines burst into dazzling blue light, and when they unfolded, it was as if countless fireflies had suddenly appeared in front of them.

Both sides were very fast, and the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer was still flying at sub-light speed, so it was as if the two sides were about to collide with each other.

However, Qin Tian didn't have the slightest intention of taking the initiative to avoid, after discovering the enemy aircraft group, the battleship's energy secondary guns and high-speed ion cannons had already opened fire violently, overlooking the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer advancing at high speed from a high place, the battleship seemed to suddenly shine on a lot of pillars of light, and rushed forward at extreme speed.

And the more than 100 space fighters that rushed towards Qin Tian, no one thought of directly hitting them head-on, with their fragile small bodies, even if they collided, they would not be able to cause any damage to the enemy ship, and the energy shield and super-hard metal alloy were not decorations.

The staggered time was very short, so all their pilots were firing at full fire.

One after another space fighters, the airborne electromagnetic rapid-fire guns frantically critted, and the alloy warheads rushed towards the enemy ships like floods that opened the floodgates, and at the same time, the missiles mounted on them also broke away from the pylons and crashed into the enemy ships at a frantic speed.

The light is staggered, and the fire bursts out.

There is no airborne sound in the space battlefield, so the space fighters and missiles that were hit by the intensive anti-aircraft fire of the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer, and exploded in an instant, were all turned into pieces in a flash of fire.

Of course, the torrential metal storm barrage slammed into the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer, and after slamming the faint azure energy shield, it exploded into beautiful ripples, as if it was splashing a circle of ripples on a blue lake.

Shout~

Extremely fast-flying warships, staggered with a large number of space fighters.

Because they are very fast with each other, the staggered moment widens the distance by tens of kilometers, and then hundreds or thousands, or even tens of thousands......

The Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer continued to attack and fly around the enemy fleet, and further forward, there was a new group of enemy space fighters, which had already roared and pounced, and the same as the previous batch, all kinds of weapons and ammunition were dropped, and the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer was completely advancing against the opponent's artillery fire.

But at the same time, Qin Tian did not relax his continuous attack on the enemy fleet, and he continued to fire and shoot, and as the distance gradually narrowed, he achieved two more results in a row, and the number of enemy ships had been reduced to 19, two of which were damaged.

……

Oletru was furious.

The more than 300 space fighters dispatched were divided into three waves to carry out interception operations against the enemy ships, but not only did they not damage the enemy ships in the slightest, but they quickly lost more than half of them.

How many space fighters are lost, Oletru is actually not distressed, no matter how advanced and powerful expensive equipment is, it has a price, but fighter pilots are priceless.

Recruitment, training, and training, all of which cost money, and now that more than 100 excellent pilots of space fighters have been lost, how can we not make Oletru's heart ache?

What annoyed him the most was that the opponent's single battleship, in the face of the attack of its own space fighter group, could still maintain quite accurate firepower, and burst two of his battleships in a row, one of which was a heavy interstellar battleship, which was too strong!

However, in addition to being angry, Oletru also felt that this was a huge loss, but it was still a bit rewarding.

At least when so many space fighters continued to block the attack, they also sent back a large number of engagement videos and radar detection data in real time through the tactical communication link.

Through the analysis of this information, combined with the artificial assistance system, a three-dimensional model of a very beautiful enemy ship has been presented in front of Oletrous's eyes.

The details of the model are exquisite, because batch after batch of space fighters rushed towards the enemy ship, and the two sides went from facing each other head-on to parting by mistake, which was enough to collect some intelligence.

"Lord Steward, it is obvious that this is an advanced warship with a far higher level of science and technology than ours, judging from the analysis of image data, the opponent's armament firepower and ship power are different from ours, more advanced and stronger!"

"And you pay attention to the other party's warship, there is a faint blue protective cover, invisible and shadowless, but it has a special protective isolation effect, the missiles and alloy warheads we launched are blocked by it, and even some space fighters exploded in an instant after they collided with it!"

"Therefore, we have reason to believe that the blue cover of the other party is very likely to be the energy shield that we are still doing theoretical research on......"

The Equipment Technician kept thinking about it, reporting the results of their latest analysis to Oletru.

Currently in a state of war, Oletru was very angry when he heard these words.

"Okay, okay, you don't grow up here, others will lose your prestige!"

Oletru impatiently interrupted the equipment technician's words and asked urgently, "I'll ask you, is there any way to break the protective shield of the enemy ship so that our attack can hit their battleship itself!"

"Uh...... Yes, yes, but ......"

"But what?

Oletru asked loudly: "It's all this time, if you can do anything, say it quickly, don't hide it, and don't think of a way to break the situation, let's all wait to die!"

Oletro's roar was harsh and quite piercing.

The armament technician scratched the back of his head and immediately reported: "I suggest that a continuous nuclear attack be carried out on the enemy ship! Use a number of high-yield hydrogen bombs to carry out continuous attacks at certain intervals, so that the enemy's protective shield can be destroyed, and the enemy ship's protective shield can also be quickly attacked and hit the enemy ship itself in the vacant time after the protective shield is broken, thus causing enough damage to the enemy!"

Oletru's brow furrowed instantly.

Nuclear attack?

This method is simply too poisonous.

Fighting in space, a nuclear attack is a typical 'drink to quench thirst' tactics.

Kill 3,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself!

The reason why I say this is because there is no shelter in space, and once a nuclear explosion occurs, the high-brightness light and high temperature formed in that moment cannot cause large-scale damage, because it is impossible to form a shock wave to transmit the heat effect.

However, a nuclear explosion will form a powerful pulse attack and radiation rays, which can be indiscriminately diffused in all directions, and it will be a brutal destruction that does not distinguish between friend and foe, and will bring great damage to electronic equipment and personnel.

"Your Excellency, it seems that this is the only way to do it at present! The speed of maneuvering and the efficiency of attack between us and the enemy ships are completely not on the same level, and we are completely unable to catch up and fight, and we have been passively beaten since the beginning of the war. ”

"Therefore, I propose to use a nuclear attack, anyway, we are very far away from the enemy ship, before the arrival of nuclear radiation, we can activate the shielding protection, combined with the isolation defense of the hull itself, which can minimize the radiation damage......"

Before the weapons technician could finish speaking, Oletru raised his hand to silence him.

"Needless to say! Immediately organize space fighters to mount high-speed missiles with nuclear warheads, and at the same time send three warships to join the space fighter attack team, and if necessary, participate in nuclear attack missions, and the warships will also launch nuclear missiles to attack the other side with the tactics of saturation attack!"

"Remember, since you want to fight, let's fight to the death! Let's not leave time for the enemy to adjust, launch more nuclear missiles at one time, all-round three-dimensional coverage, I want to see whether his warship protection is strong enough, or our nuclear bombs are more powerful!"

Oletru gave the order, and the weapons technician snapped and saluted, and then immediately began to set up.

Ten minutes later.

Three high-speed interstellar frigates have been separated from the fleet with a large number of space fighters, and nuclear missiles symbolizing death and destruction have been quickly prepared for launch.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The Dragonsoul-class interstellar destroyer, which is flying in circles at high speed and continues to attack, is attacking the warships in the fleet while destroying those space fighters that are like flies in the way.

Suddenly!

In the pitch-black universe, a large number of missiles emitted billowing plumes of smoke and slaughtered the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyers at great speed.

There are a lot of them, the distance between them is very large, and the formation is unprecedented, as if ten thousand arrows are fired at once, although they have been intercepted and exploded, but there are still many that have entered the range of a hundred kilometers.

When the missiles entered the terminal attack, they instantly burst into super dazzling balls of brilliant white light, and the pitch-black universe was as if countless suns had suddenly appeared.

At the same time, countless death radiation rays also diffused all around......
