Chapter 108: The Mothership of Eun That Changed the Tide of War
After these three waves of attacks, the attack of the Ewen mothership finally stopped temporarily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It seems that this weapon is not necessarily without its shortcomings." After stopping the attack, Dart carefully observed the Eun mothership for a while, and then noticed the anomaly, "Have you noticed, not only the red beam has stopped firing, but even the number of white beams has decreased significantly, and the brightness is much weaker than before. Then he pointed to the battleship that had just been hit by the white beam and said, "The power is also smaller than before, so it seems that the energy is not enough." ”
Looking at the picture that Dart was referring to, Zhou Xin nodded, "If it is really a lack of energy, then its reload time may not be very short, maybe it is just that the energy can be fired many times in a row after reloading." ”
"Possibly. And this type of attack has the advantage that the damage to the weapon itself is minimal, and it will not be like the main guns of the Kazlan mothership. Dart pointed to the intact red tetrahedron on the mothership that had stopped firing beams, "There's almost no maintenance to the weapon from then on, just charge it up and fire it again." ”
"I just don't know how long it will take to recharge." Zhou Xin pondered, "If you can recharge multiple times in a battle, then the advantage in battle is not comparable to that of the Kazlan mothership. ”
As he spoke, he saw that the white beam launched was no longer able to effectively damage the enemy's battleship. The Ewen mothership simply stopped the attack, and even recovered most of the small warships. Only more than two dozen warships were left to stay on guard around the mothership.
"How did you recover so many small warships? This is not a wise decision. Dart's tone was a little dissatisfied, "If it were me, I wouldn't have taken back the small warships, although it is said that they can't attack for the time being, but those small warships can also maintain a deterrent, so that the other party can't figure out when the next attack will occur, so that there will be some scruples when fighting." But now that the small warships have been recovered, isn't it obvious that the other party has no way to attack their mothership, then they haven't let go of their hands and feet to attack. ”
As Dart said, seeing that the opposing mothership had stopped attacking, the originally embarrassed Kazlan fleet finally relented and began to launch a fierce attack on the Eun fleet in front. Although the Mother Ship of Eun had destroyed a significant portion of the Kazlan warships in previous battles, the size of the Kazlan fleet was still slightly larger than that of the Eun fleet. Under their attack, the Ewen fleet could only rely on its own mothership, which was able to withstand the attack of the other party. However, this resistance also has a price, although no battleships have been destroyed, but most of the battleships are obviously damaged with varying degrees of severity, which inevitably makes Zhou Xin and them feel that the next battle will develop in a direction that is not favorable to the Ewen Empire.
Then, not only the entire Kazlan fleet, but also the Kazlan mothership, which had been hiding in the tail of the fleet and had not been affected by the attack of the Eun mothership, also began to change its posture, and it was obvious that it was preparing to attack. While attacking, the entire Kazran fleet is still advancing in the direction of the Eun fleet, and it seems that they want to take advantage of the time for the Eun mothership to recharge. At the same time, a small fleet of more than a dozen warships flew out from the flanks of the Kazlan fleet, apparently trying to repeat their old tricks and sneak up on the Ewen mothership in front of them from behind.
Dart sighed, "The Eun side still has no means to stop the launch of the Kazlan mothership, and if this continues, I'm afraid the advantage that the Eun fleet has established in the previous battle will be wiped out." Seeing that the entire Eun fleet was still tightly surrounding his mothership and struggling to resist, Zhou Xin was a little surprised at the same time, "The intention of the Kazlan mothership is so obvious, isn't the Ewen fleet still responding?" Even if you can't stop the next attack of the Kazlan mothership, at least spread the formation to minimize the losses. What do they really think about surrounding their mothership like this? ”
"Could it be that the Eun fleet has some behind?" Dart thought of this at once, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of any way for the Ewen fleet to solve the current predicament. At this time, the Kazlan fleet had already begun to adjust its formation, preparing to give up the firing path of the mothership's main guns. And the Kazlan mothership is also about to complete the attitude adjustment. Suddenly, Dart suddenly remembered a battleship that he had neglected before, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Another mothership of the Eun's fleet!" ”
As soon as his words fell, suddenly, the Kazlan mothership, which was about to complete its attitude adjustment, stopped, and then quickly reversed the adjustment, trying to return to its original attitude. Just when Zhou Xin and the others wondered why this mothership was making such a strange move, a few seconds later, a red beam of light that appeared from the side of Kazran's fleet explained everything.
Coupled with Dart's previous reminder, the others in the command cabin finally understood what was really going on. Turning the perspective slightly, Zhou Xin and the others saw that more than two hundred kilometers on the side of the Kazlan fleet, a slightly smaller fleet was attacking. And in the center of that fleet was none other than the Eun mothership that had been acting alone before.
In the first wave of attack sent out by the Eun mothership, those white beams were aimed at the sneak attack team of the Kazlan fleet, but the dozen or so red beams were all concentrated on the Kazlan mothership. Even the heavy deck of the mothership could not resist the power of the red beam, and it only lasted a few seconds longer than a normal battleship, and the red beam lit up on the other side of the mothership, creating more than a dozen penetrating holes in the mothership. With the movement of the red beam, the hole became larger and larger, and when the beam stopped, several holes tens of meters long appeared on the Kazlan mothership, although the follow-up attack did not penetrate the entire mothership, but the damage caused was serious enough. And the sneak attack team with only a dozen warships was even more unbearable, just the first wave of attacks, most of the warships lost their ability to act, and those battleships that were lucky enough not to be hit, seeing that their sneak attack intentions had been discovered by the enemy, had to turn around and retreat.
"When did the Eun mothership appear, and why didn't Kazran's reconnaissance vehicle detect its whereabouts?" Zhou Xin asked suspiciously. Although he had seen the attacking mothership when the Eun fleet departed, he had almost forgotten that there was another mothership because of the fierce fighting and the brilliant results of the previous Eun mothership.
"It was there fifteen minutes ago." Atlas, who had been keeping an eye on the entire planet, replied, "Then the mothership in this place launched its own fleet. As for why the aircraft did not detect its whereabouts, it was because the aircraft had not yet flown such a long distance before they were shot down by the Ewen aircraft, and their effective detection range was only about 100 kilometers around their own fleet. ”
As he spoke, the second wave of Eun's mothership attack had begun. This time, the red beam was still aimed at the Kazran mothership, while the white beam was aimed at the other Kazran warships. Despite the surprise attack on the flank, the Kazran fleet chose to continue attacking them because the Eun fleet in front was almost unable to hold on, but this wave of attacks from the Eun mothership supported their own fleet well. Dodging the attack, the offensive of the Kazlan fleet was obviously weakened, and the Eun fleet, which was about to break through, was able to stabilize its position with the support of the mothership. It is worth mentioning that under these two waves of attacks, the Kazlan fleet lost a lot of warships, and at this time, the number of warships on both sides is basically the same, and even the number of Yunn warships may be even more. Relying on two motherships, the Ewen fleet turned the tide of battle in its favor.
More importantly, not only the loss of the battleship, but also the damage to the Kazlan mothership was very serious. Under the two waves of attacks from the Eun, explosions occurred in many parts of the Kazlan mothership. Especially in the second wave of attacks, the Eun mothership seems to have deliberately aimed at the Kazlan mothership's engine position. Among the four engines, two engines were directly hit, and there was a big explosion, blowing out two huge holes in the Kazlan mothership, and one engine was also seriously damaged, although it barely maintained its propulsion function, but looking at the flickering tail flame, Zhou Xin didn't think it could last long. Relying on the only normal engine, not to mention attacking, it was difficult to even barely maintain a posture, Zhou Xin had already seen that the mothership began to swing abnormally, and a lot of green smoke began to rise around the normal engine. This is a very dangerous sign that the engine has begun to overwork, and if it is not dealt with, I am afraid that the engine will not be able to sustain it for long.
However, at this time, it was obviously too late to think of a way, and the sneak attack of the Ewen mothership directly launched a third wave of attacks. Having lost most of its maneuverability, the Kazlan mothership could only act like a living target. Although the only engine worked hard to dodge the attack, the red beams still hit the target with precision. Immediately, the only normal engine was hit directly, and in the explosion it turned into a cloud of powder, and even the damaged engine was not spared, completely rendered useless. At this moment, the entire mothership completely lost the ability to act autonomously, and could only rely on the inertia of the previous movement to float slowly in space.
Not just two engines, all the red beams hit the Kazlan mothership almost simultaneously, and after withstanding three waves of attacks, the mothership was barely recognizable. The entire mothership was filled with fire, smoke, and even explosions from time to time. Through the large hole in the hull, Zhou Xin and the others vaguely saw that they didn't know whether it was humans or machines still trying to prevent the expansion of the disaster. However, this is obviously in vain, and often the flames are extinguished in one place, and there is a larger explosion in another, igniting more violent flames. It can be said that the mothership is completely hopeless, and there is no other way but to abandon it.
At the same time, with the three waves of sneak attacks on the flank, the Ewen fleet on the frontal battlefield is also launching a counteroffensive. Under the condition of withstanding attacks from both sides, the Kazlan fleet suddenly fell into a lot of confusion, not to mention continuing the attack, and even the formation of the fleet could only barely maintain. Moreover, after these three waves of attacks, the Kazran fleet once again suffered serious losses, and the number of warships remained only a hundred or so, and the remaining warships were all badly damaged, and only a few were barely able to use them for battle. On the other hand, although the Eun fleet lost a lot of warships when resisting the counterattack of the Kazlan fleet, there are at least more than 150 warships that can maintain combat strength, and it can be said that the initiative in this battle has been completely held by the Eun fleet.
"It's a remake of yesterday's battle, but this time the winner and loser have been reversed." Looking at the battle situation on the screen, Dart sighed, "A mothership can rewrite the outcome of the battle, although today's battle has something to do with tactics." But the decisive role is played by the powerful attack power of the mothership itself. ”
As he spoke, the remaining Kazlan fleet seemed to have accepted the result of the crushing defeat and was ready to retreat. Abandoning the ships that had long since lost their ability to move, the remaining less than a hundred ships were assembled, and with the few weapons that could still attack, they barely resisted the attack from the Ewen fleet ahead. While resisting, the remaining fleet began to fly away from the planet, trying to quickly get out of the battlefield. Finally, when this opportunity was meted out, the Eun fleet also moved at the same time, following the rear of the remnants of Kazran's fleet to attack. Today's pursuit was much more tragic than yesterday's, because the Ewen ships that survived the Kazlan mothership's main gun attack yesterday were not much damaged, and were still able to maintain normal mobility, which was more than enough to escape. But today's Kazlan warships are obviously different, almost every warship has some degree of damage, which greatly affects their mobility. In the course of the pursuit, the battleships that had fallen behind could be seen from time to time, and after they were left behind, these battleships simply gave up their flight, and instead stayed where they were, trying to slow down the pursuit of the Ewen fleet, but it was of little use. Under the concentrated fire attack of hundreds of warships, it only takes a few seconds for these warships with mantis arms as vehicles to quickly become a large pile of space junk. In the end, only a dozen or so Kazran battleships covered in bruises managed to escape the pursuit of the Eun's fleet, and looking at the dilapidated appearance of the dozen or so battleships, I am afraid that there will be no way to repair them after returning home.
In this kind of high-speed pursuit battle, the mothership is obviously useless, and there is obviously no need for them to participate in the current battle situation. Therefore, the Ewen mothership that was parked at the rear of the fleet before had begun to recover its small battleship while the fleet was pursuing, and the mothership that sneaked up on it had already begun to recover the small battleship after completing the third wave of attacks, and now it was already flying on the way to retreat, maybe this battle is not over, it can land on the ground.
After paying attention to the pursuit of Eun's fleet, Zhou Xin shifted his perspective to the attacked Kazlan mothership......
