Chapter 122: Battle

Just as the Voyager reported that the number of warships in the Republic of Kazran had reached fifteen hundred, the fleet of the Empire of Eun appeared in front of the Kazrans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Xin and the others saw that as soon as they entered the range of some of the warships, the Eun fleet could not wait to launch an attack on the Kazran fleet that was still gathering. Seeing this, the ships that had not yet reached their intended positions were forced to assemble and counterattack the Ewen fleet. In the panic, the attack launched by the battleships in the rear of the fleet even almost hit their own ships, but fortunately they only passed near the friendly ships, but this was enough to make Zhou Xin and them feel terrified for Kazlan.

Probably due to the fact that it was still at the longest range, the first wave of attack launched by the Eun's fleet looked aggressive, but in fact did not cause much damage to the Kazlan side, with only a few ships being swept away by one or two beams due to bad luck. And even if it was hit, at such a distance, the power of the beam was already very small, just a few circular scorch marks on the outer decks of those Kazran warships. Similarly, Kazran's counterattack had a similar result, and the attacked Eune fleet did not even slow down, but continued to approach Kazran's defenders at high speed.

After the first wave of inducing attacks, more and more of the Eun ships that came into range began to attack, as if they were being fired in turns. At first, the Kazran fleet was able to calmly counterattack with its numerical superiority, but as more ships from the Eun side began to come into range, the Kazran counterattack began to become more and more difficult. When all the more than 2,000 Eun ships were within range, under the dense attack, the Kazlan fleet, which was obviously inferior in numbers, was almost left with only the ability to dodge.

Moreover, it seems that the Kazlan side must have completely failed to figure out the offensive route of the Eun side, because they actually deployed all the warships evenly along the entire defensive line. Therefore, in fact, less than 1,000 warships were under attack from more than 2,000 Eun warships, which made Kazran's situation on the battlefield even more stretched. However, after the attack began, the Kazran fleet seemed to have finally figured out the direction of the Eun's fleet, and the unattacked ships were rapidly rushing to the location of the attack, and even the ships that were still rising below changed their flight trajectory and rushed to the most critical areas of the battle.

In this case, the Kazran fleet barely held off the attack of the Eune fleet. Before the defensive line formed by the Kazran warships, the Kazran fleet stopped itself. What followed was the largest offensive and defensive battle between the two sides since the arrival of the Voyager.

However, although it was said to have temporarily blocked the progress of the Eun, the Kazran side paid a great price. From the perspective of the probe, Zhou Xin and the others could clearly see that the situation between the two sides was indeed evenly matched on the surface, but in order to block the other party's attack, the warships on the Kazlan side had much more losses than those of the Yuen Empire. Under this situation, there will certainly be no way for the Kazlan fleet to hold out for long.

It seems that the Kazlans are also aware of the current situation on the battlefield, so there is still a steady stream of warships appearing on the surface of the planet. Although these ships on the way were rushing to the battlefield as fast as they could, no matter how hard they tried, some of the warships' engines were already overloaded, but there was no way for the battleships to support the most dangerous places in an instant. Seeing that under the attack of the Eun fleet, one of the directions was about to be lost, and suddenly a thick orange-red ray appeared on the battlefield, which was the Kazlan mothership.

On the screen, the orange ray was launched from the rear of the Kazlan warship, through the defensive line formed by the battleship, and swept towards the Eun fleet, which was about to break through. Although the attacked Eun fleet had already made evasive moves the moment the Kazlan mothership was launched, it was still too late. The orange-red ray swept solidly from the densest position of the Ewen battleship in this direction, and within a few seconds, a large cylindrical hole was cleared in the center of the fleet. With such heavy losses, the Eune fleet, which had been close to the Kazran Line, was forced to retreat, and the situation in this small area of the battlefield once again returned to its previous state of parity.

With the first, there will definitely be a second, and it didn't take long for two identical rays to appear on the battlefield almost at the same time, although the locations of the rays were completely different, but their purpose was to defuse the most critical situation on the battlefield. With the help of these three motherships, this wave of fierce attack of the Ewen fleet was finally repulsed. At the same time, as more Kazlan warships arrived on the battlefield one after another, the size of the fleets of both sides finally reached the same level.

However, although on the surface, the strength of the two fleets seems to be about the same, but this is at the cost of Kazlan joining the battle with three motherships. Before Zhou Xin and the others could see it, the three motherships that had completed the attack had already entered the landing orbit. It seems that as Zhou Xin and the others had guessed before, each Kazlan mothership could only launch one attack. In contrast, the mothership of the Eun fleet had not yet begun to move, but when this thought just came to Zhou Xin's heart, the Eun mothership also began to join the attack.

Of course, only half of the twenty-three Ewen motherships joined the attack. However, this was enough, and all of a sudden, the beams from the Eun's fleet became denser, and many of them were able to move and track, which made it difficult for the Kazlan warship to dodge. At that moment, the Kazlan fleet suffered extremely heavy losses, more than half of the battleships suffered minor or severe damage.

In just half an hour, relying on the assistance of the mothership, the Ewen fleet suddenly established an advantage on the battlefield. Seeing this situation, the Ewen once again pressed towards the Kazran's improvised defensive line. Zhou Xin even saw that one of the Eun fleets had already rushed into Kazran's defenses and was engaged in a scuffle with Kazran's warships, which were slightly smaller than his own.

At such a critical moment in the battle, the rest of the Kazran motherships, which had been prepared for an attack a long time ago, launched an attack, and the target of these motherships was very clear, that is, the mothership that the Ewen were attacking. It seems that there is no idea that the Kazlan still have so many motherships hidden, but it is more likely that the Kazlan mothership is out of range of the Eun, and when those motherships attack, the Eun did not react at all. Immediately, eight familiar rays appeared in different directions on the battlefield,

Three of these rays hit the center of the Eun's mothership, and the people on those motherships didn't even have time to react, and the entire mothership was reduced to powder in a violent explosion. Two other rays didn't hit the center of the Eun's mothership, but they also hit the edge of the mothership, and by the way, they swept over the small warships that flew around the mothership as mirrors, and although the two motherships didn't explode directly like the first three unlucky ones, the situation was not much better. Not to mention the small warships attached to it, even the mothership itself was only two-thirds left, and one of the original three horns disappeared as if it had been bitten off, and the remaining parts were also blazing violently, and there were small explosions from time to time. Not to mention continuing to fight, even whether the survivors inside will survive is still unknown.

The remaining three motherships had much better luck than they did, and the rays merely slashed past their edges. In addition to the loss of a large number of small warships, the damage to the mothership itself was not very serious, only a trace of melting appeared on the hull under the high temperature, and various facilities on the surface were severely damaged by the rays. Of course, it is impossible for these three motherships to continue to participate in the next battle, but there should be no problem in withdrawing to the mainland.

Of course, in this wave of attacks, many of the Eun warships that were blocking in front of the mothership were also affected, and eight obvious passages appeared on the battlefield where the original battleships were dense. After suffering such a heavy setback, the Ewen people, who had been attacking frantically, seemed to have come to their senses. While all the ships were still on the offensive, it was already visible from the probe's footage that they were slowly retreating.

It didn't seem that they didn't expect that this attack of the Kazlan mothership could cause such an effective result, and Zhou Xin and their faces also showed a surprised expression. However, it didn't take long for them to come back to their senses, and Dart said thoughtfully, "It seems that the Kazlan mothership is not as useless as we said before, at least in terms of range. ”

"More than twice the range of the mothership Eun." Zhou Xin nodded, and then he looked at the eight Kazlan motherships on the screen that were returning to land and the only two remaining motherships in the battlefield that had not yet been launched, with a worried look on his face, "But the effective number of attacks of the mothership is hard, I don't know how the only two remaining motherships can resist the next wave of attacks by the Euns." ”

"From our perspective, we know that Kazlan only has two motherships left, but the Ewen don't." Dart continued, "Judging from the current situation, I don't think the location of the Kazlan mothership will be undetectable by the Ewen side. So they don't even know how many motherships are left in Kazran, and maybe they don't even know that each mothership can only launch one attack. Otherwise, their response now should not be to retreat, but to launch a more fierce offensive. ”

As they discussed, they continued to observe the situation on both sides on the screen. By this time, the Eun fleet had regrouped, but they were still slowly retreating. Kazlan, although they were aware that the Ewen were retreating, did not pursue, but simply held on and watched as their opponents slowly withdrew from their range.

"Sound choice." Seeing this, Dart couldn't help but praise, "If the Kazlan fleet rushes after it, if the Eun people discover the anomaly, then there will be no chance of turning the tables at all." ”

"The Eun fleet just retreated?" Looking at the fleet, which had left the range of the Kazran warship and was still retreating, Spred asked. He had already arrived in the command module long before the Eun fleet attacked, but seeing that everyone's attention was all on the screen, he didn't say anything, but quietly watched the battle on the screen like everyone else.

"I'm afraid it won't be that simple." Dart shook his head, "If they really wanted to retreat, I'm afraid they should start turning around now, but they didn't. Moreover, although they have suffered quite serious losses, in terms of real strength, the Eun fleet is still much stronger than Kazran, and it depends on when they will find out about the Kazlan deception. Moreover, this time they dispatched such a large fleet, how could they be so willing to evacuate just because of a single defeat. ”

Zhou Xin nodded, obviously agreeing with Dart's statement. As it turned out, Dart's judgment was not wrong, and not long after he finished his analysis, the Eun fleet stopped retreating.

Dart seemed to understand something as he saw where the Eun's fleet had stopped, and then he added, "It seems that the Euns are probably jealous of the Kazlan mothership. You see, now all the warships are out of range of the Kazlan mothership. ”

"But what are they trying to do here, is it to discuss the next tactics?" Spred asked, confused.

"It's possible." Dart replied, "I think their initial idea may have been to take the Northern Continent directly with the advantage of sneak attack and absolute strength. As can be seen from the battle that has just begun, there is no specific tactic at all, and it is only a brutal attack by virtue of numerical superiority. In this way, it would be fine if they could really make progress in one go, but once they encountered an unfavorable battle situation like now, then I am afraid that it will not be so pleasant in the future. It may be a good idea to stop and take a break at this time. ”

"Coupled with the fact that they have not yet figured out the reality of the Kazran fleet, if they continue to attack rashly, they are afraid that the next losses will expand to a point that they cannot accept." Zhou Xin added, and then he smiled, "But the Euns don't know at all, the current Kazlan fleet is the weakest, if they can persist in the attack, or even put the rest of the motherships into battle, maybe Kazlan will collapse by now." ”

"But they didn't dare take the risk." Dart also smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, while discussing tactics, the Ewen should send a probe next......"
