221 The First Battle of Shanhaiguan (2)
Inside the Ouranos, Lin Fan was watching the battle situation change on the defensive line.
At this moment, although the defenders of Shanhaiguan relied on the absolute difference in numbers in the early stage, they played a considerable casualty ratio.
With less than 3,000 warships damaged by itself, it destroyed 300,000 warships of the opponent, but as the number of warships of the opponent increased, the battle damage in the last ten minutes has reached 35% of the total battle loss in one hour.
It is clear that the Federation's war losses are rapidly rising.
Lin Fan looked at the number of local warships marked in the tactical image, 63,281, and immediately stood up from his seat.
"Order all the defenders on the defensive line, start to retreat, but don't turn, while maintaining firepower, turn on the reverse push, just retreat slowly!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Although the ship was equipped with thrusters throughout the ship, the main thruster was only available at the tail of the battleship, and most of the places were equipped with small propulsion units used to control the attitude of the battleship, as well as two medium-sized propulsion units for reversing.
The main thruster using the tail, which is now the third generation of sub-light propulsion devices of the Federation, can already reach a speed of 90,000 kilometers per second, which is also 30 percent of the speed of light.
However, the premise of this is that the battleship sails forward, and for this reason, the battleship must first use the attitude control devices in various places to complete the steering, but in the process, it will expose its sides and tail to the enemy one by one, and thus suffer huge damage.
Of course, there is another option, which is to use the 2 medium-sized non-sub-light propulsion units on the battleship to directly push backwards and make the battleship retreat.
However, with just these two propulsion units, the battleship can only reach a maximum speed of 5,000 kilometers per second.
As soon as the Federal fleet on the defensive line received the order, it was carried out, and all the battleships began to slowly retreat while maintaining their firepower!
And this information soon reached Barbarott's side.
"Commander Barbarrot, what is the other party's idea? Obviously, the battle loss ratio is still maintained at a high level, but why did it start to retreat? ”
After the adjutant reported the latest information, he also asked suspiciously.
Obviously, he couldn't understand Lin Fan's thinking, in the adjutant's logic, although the battle loss ratio was decreasing with the increase in the number of his own warships, it was still in the position of 1:15.
Even if you want to retreat, it shouldn't be this time!
The adjutant said that such behavior was simply incomprehensible.
Of course, this is because he does not know that there are only more than 20 billion human beings, and as the Babawi people, whose population is calculated in Beijing, they absolutely cannot understand human beings.
"No matter what the other side wants to do, notify the front-line fleet, don't pursue for the time being, and wait for the follow-up fleet to assemble!"
"Yes, Commander Barbarott!"
After looking at the intelligence and analyzing it slightly, Barbarott immediately ordered.
After all, no matter what the other party is having, it is always right to let the remaining fleet of more than 2 million sail out of the star path and complete the assembly.
Once the assembly is completed, the combat power ratio between yourself and the opponent will directly become 2.6 to 1!
And at that time, no matter what the other party wants to do, with the absolute difference in combat power in his hands, he can also deal with it calmly.
Soon, at the exit of the Star Path, the Federation's fleet was out of the range of the Babawi Empire's firepower.
As for the Babawi Empire, there was no previous pursuit, and the two sides stopped their fire projections at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding.
In this first wave of Star Dao offensive and defensive battles, the Federation fleet lost 3,600 warships, while the Babawi Empire lost 372,000 warships, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides directly reached 1:103.
Don't look at the battle loss ratio is so large, in fact, Barbarott is not distressed at all!
For him, it was just 372,000 warships in exchange for control of the Star Way exit, which was just a normal operation.
After all, in his original idea, in the face of the Star Dao defended by nearly a million fourth-level civilization warships, if he wanted to take control of the exit, he had to pay at least 70-800,000 warships to make it possible, and now, only 372,000 was paid, which can already be said to be very unexpected.
As for distress? Forget it, 300,000 warships are nothing in the Babawi Empire, if you really want to be fully productive, the Babawi Empire can produce millions of warships every year, and under its huge population base, there is no pressure to recruit crews.
You know, in the Babawi Empire, the army is a very popular place to work, and it doesn't matter now, you really can't get in, which is completely opposite to the current situation of the Federation!
At this moment, Lin Fan had already retreated to the second line of defense with four legions, which was the outermost part of the starry sky defense network.
For six hours, neither side made any moves, until the last batch of Babawi Empire warships sailed out of the Star Road, and 2.6 million warships were densely lined up in a huge array of warships, and people shuddered to watch.
"Lord Barbarrot, all the warships have sailed out of the Star Path and are ready to attack!"
"Has anything changed in the enemy?"
Listening to the adjutant's report, Barbarott nodded in satisfaction, and then asked.
"No, the opponent is still deployed outside 5AU, where we have scanned a large number of defensive settings, and it is very likely that the opponent wants to use the cooperation with the defensive handout to block us."
"Well, your analysis is very accurate, and I think so too, but it's a bit naïve to want to rely on defensive settings to make up for the huge difference in strength between us!"
Barbarott agrees with the adjutant's analysis, after all, this area is very empty, and even the nearest asteroid belt is 10AU away, so there is no room for anything to do.
Therefore, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn, that is, the other side wants to use the cooperation of a large number of defensive settings to block their own fleet!
"Send the intelligence here to Marshal Babbania and at the same time order the fleet to start moving forward and crush them from the front!"
"Yes, Commander Barbarott!"
5AU away, on the Federal Line, inside the bridge of the USS Ouranos.
"Commander, the Babawi Empire has begun to act, with a total of 2.628 million warships, and it is expected to enter the combat range in two and a half hours!"
"Are the rail cannon arrays and the starry sky cannon ready?"
"The array of railgun 1 to 9 is all ready to attack! The Starry Sky Cannon has been recharged and completed."
"Okay, order the Array of Rail 1 to 3 to shoot at Area X3175! Lasts ten minutes. ”
"Ten minutes later, the array of rail-mounted guns four to seven fired continuously at the D1123 area for five minutes."
"In the end, all nine rail cannon arrays, twenty minutes later, will be together for ten minutes of fire projection to the X0913 area!"
"Yes, Commander!"
