Chapter 425: Huamanli Resistance Battle 2
Through the information collected from various parties, Kargil already knew that the maximum speed of the orc warship far exceeded the maximum speed of the Terran warship, the effective range of the half-orc crossbow far exceeded the effective range of the Terran crossbow, and the individual combat power of the half-orc sergeant also far exceeded the individual combat power of the Terran sergeant. As for the composition of the troops and the ability to cooperate in combat, the orcs have an absolute advantage. It can be said that a head-to-head duel with the orc army is hard, and the Terran army does not have a tenfold superiority in strength, and there is absolutely no chance of victory. Therefore, Kargil avoids his weaknesses and formulates this operational strategy of hiding at high altitude and attacking halfway.
"The Federation is in trouble, and the sect is in danger! The only way to fight with death is to donate your life! Warriors, fight! ”
Kargil's impassioned voice rang out in the void, and the sound waves rolled in, covering the airspace with a radius of more than thirty kilometers.
At the top of the "Wind Ship" conning tower, the signal lights glowed crimson and flashed rapidly.
Almost at the same time, the flagships of the other eleven legions, as well as more than six hundred sub-command ships scattered in twelve rectangular formations of the charging battle array, all of which glowed crimson and began to flash rapidly.
After that, the huge charging array began to slowly kick in, and then, began to accelerate, and began to dive.
The Rango Federation Military Office Charge Formation maintained a pitch angle, and from east to west, it swooped down towards the half-orc shield ship queue advancing from west to east.
It's all a bit slow to say, but it's actually happening pretty quickly.
From the appearance of the charging battle formation formed by the twelve armies of the Rango Federation Military Office hidden in the sky, to the launch of the dive, it took less than twenty seconds before and after.
The half-orc shield spacecraft formation was as if it had not been aware of the enemy situation in its advancing path, neither accelerating or slowing down, nor changing course, but still maintained a cruising speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour, advancing straight east.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
The clock ticked by.
The orc shield ship formation and the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Formation flew in a horizontal direction, getting closer and closer.
Vertically, the Rango Federation Military Office's charging battle array continued to decline, and it was getting closer and closer to the half-orc shield spaceship queue.
……
Three minutes later, the half-orc shield ship formation and the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Formation were only twenty kilometers away in the horizontal direction and only three thousand meters in the vertical direction.
At this moment, in the half-orc shield spaceship queue, a thousand warships suddenly rose, all of which remained at the same level, forming a shield-shaped battle array, accelerating sharply in the horizontal direction, flying faster and faster to the east, and at the same time, at an extremely fast speed, quickly climbing in the vertical direction, from the front to meet the swooping Rango Federation Military Office Charge Battle Formation.
The thousand battleships that rose from the half-orc shield spaceship queue were evenly distributed, so the thousand battleships rose at the same time, and after flying away from the queue, the original shield queue did not change much except that the distribution density of the battleships became a little sparse.
The remaining more than 3,000 warships and more than 2,000 space carriers maintained their original shield-shaped formations, maintaining a cruising speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour, continuing to fly eastward in the horizontal direction, and rapidly descending in the vertical direction, and began to get rid of the swooping Lango Federal Military Office Charge Battle Formation in the vertical direction.
The acceleration performance of the half-orc battleship was very good, and in just one minute, the half-orc shield battle formation that was facing the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Battle Formation from the front climbed to the same height as the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Battle Array.
At this time, the half-orc shield battle formation was already approaching the front end of the Rango Federation Military Office's charging battle array in the horizontal direction.
Kargil originally planned to take the air advantage by surprise and use a strong crossbow to launch a dive strike on the half-orc shield ship formation.
However, the acceleration performance of the orc battleship greatly exceeded Kargil's expectations.
After the shield-shaped battle formation formed by 1,000 warships of the half-orcs climbed to the same height as the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Battle Array, the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Battle Formation lost its air superiority and could no longer launch a dive attack.
At this time, the other more than 3,000 warships and more than 2,000 space motherships of the orcs maintained a shield-shaped queue, quickly got rid of it, and the distance between them and the Rango Federation Military Office Charging Battle Formation in the vertical direction was stretched to six thousand meters. At the same time, in the horizontal direction, the charging battle array with the Rango Federation Military Office began to stagger by, and moved away from the east at a rapid speed.
It was also at this time, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the half-orc shield battle formation and the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Battle Formation emitted one light wave after another, colorful, and all of them were fleeting.
Next, the half-orc shield battle formation was from west to east, and the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Battle Formation was from east to west, and the front ends of the two battle formations were interspersed with each other, intertwined with each other, and began to merge and begin to engage in a head-to-head confrontation.
"Boom......"
"Woo Woo ......"
The meeting of the two battle formations, whether it was the sergeant on the battleship on the orc side or the sergeant on the battleship on the Rango Federation side, they were all armed with strong crossbows and launched indiscriminate bursts of fire at each other.
In an instant, in the airspace where the two battle formations converged, crossbow arrows flew wildly, and a dense and sharp sound of breaking the air sounded.
At the end of the Terran Ten-Year War, magic technology was widely used in the field of weapons and equipment, and the warships of the major federations and principalities of the Terran were equipped with magical protective devices.
At this time, every battleship on the side of the Lango Federation popped out an ellipsoid-shaped light blue transparent energy shield, protecting the battleship.
Each of the orcs ejected an ellipsoid-shaped pale green transparent energy shield.
All of these energy shields have one thing in common: they defend against external attacks without hindering the ship and its sergeants from attacking outside.
"Puff puff ......"
"Snatch ......"
The powerful crossbows equipped by the legions under the military office of the Rango Federation have an effective range of 800 meters, and most of them are equipped with ordinary crossbow arrows, which can only break physical defenses. Therefore, after the ordinary crossbow arrows fired by the sergeant on the battleship of the Rango Federation side shot at the battleship on the half-orc side, they were blocked by the energy shield of the half-orc battleship, and they all bounced up and fell into the void. As for the few magically blessed crossbow arrows that were fired, when they hit the energy shield of the orc side of the battleship, at most they would cause scattered sparks that could not penetrate them.
This is not the case on the orc side.
The effective range of the powerful crossbow mounted by the half-orc can reach 1200 meters, although the ordinary crossbow arrows fired by the sergeant on the half-orc side of the battleship cannot penetrate the energy shield of the battleship of the Lango Federation, but the magic blessing crossbow arrows fired are fast, penetrating, can break through the magic protection and high-strength iron armor, all of which directly penetrate the energy shield of the battleship of the Lango Federation side, and shoot through the high-strength iron armor of the battleship, leaving holes and submerging into the interior of the battleship.
In particular, the photon crossbow deployed on the warships of the half-orc side caused extremely terrifying damage to the warships on the side of the Lango Federation.
Those photon crossbows had an effective range of up to 1,500 meters, and the small balls of light launched ignored the energy shield, and after hitting the battleship on the side of the Lango Federation, they directly melted holes with the size of bowls on the battleship. In addition, it is a burst of fire, so as long as the battleship on the Rango Federation side is locked by the photon crossbow, it will basically be hit hard in an instant, losing its magical defense ability and even power.
"Boom......"
"Woo Woo ......"
In the fierce confrontation, the energy shields ejected from the battleships on the Rango Federation side shattered one after another.
The sergeants on the battleship were exposed to the powerful crossbows of the orcs, and they were wounded by arrows.
Some of the warships were so struck that they suddenly lost power, and they tumbled and fell into the void with the sergeants locked on the ships.
After losing the support of the battleship, the sergeant who was urgently unlocked panicked and flew around in the void, either being shot into a hedgehog by random arrows or rammed into a pulp by the high-speed flying battleship.
Since both battle formations were charging at an extremely fast speed, the half-orc shield battle formation was from west to east, and soon completely fit into the Rango Federation Military Office Charge Battle Formation that was diving at high speed from east to west.
As the sergeants on the orc side of the warships were armed with powerful crossbows and continued to launch fierce strikes, the warships of the half-orc side were like iron plowshares, and the charging battle array on the side of the Lango Federation was shattered.
Soon, all the warships on the orc side passed through the charging battle array on the side of the Rango Federation.
In a fierce encounter, except for the collision that caused the loss of less than forty warships, the orc side did not suffer any other losses.
On the other hand, the Rango Federation suffered heavy losses.
Under the precise blows of the magically blessed crossbow arrows and photon crossbows on the orc side, the Rango Federation side lost at least 500 warships.
As soon as the front of the two battle formations began to approach, the ships on the orc side began to slow down.
After a round of engagement, the ships on the orc side all dropped to about 600 kilometers per hour.
The ships on the Rango Federation's side, which launched the dive, maintained a speed of about 500 kilometers per hour.
At this time, the other more than 3,000 warships and more than 2,000 space carriers of the orcs maintained a shield-shaped queue, had descended to an altitude of 4,000 meters above the ground, and flew farther and farther, gradually disappearing into the eastern sky.
In the sky above Huamanli, above 10,000 meters in the sky, more than 5,000 warships on the side of the Lango Federation, which had completely lost their formation, turned their heads in the sky.
More than nine hundred warships on the orc side, which had also lost their formation, also turned around in the sky.
After the warships of both sides turned around, they maintained a speed of about 500 kilometers per hour and began to charge in each other's directions.
Soon, the more than nine hundred warships on the orc side merged with the more than five thousand warships on the Rango Federation's side.
