Chapter Eighty-Six: The Little Ghost (II)

Massacre, this is a one-sided massacre! With such a huge gap between the energy levels and the range of the main guns of the two sides, the other side was still lined up in such a dense attack formation, and it was completely inevitable to cause such heavy losses. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this kind of scene is like the first appearance of the Maxim heavy machine gun on the battlefield in World War I. When the British troops on the other side of the Somme beat the drums of war and charged the Germans in a dense battle formation, inspired by Nelson's folk music, they could never have imagined that they would be greeted with a huge price of more than 60,000 casualties.

If a civilization of the same level is engaged in warfare, it is definitely wise to use a dense attack formation. The denser the formation, the better the coordination between the ships, the stronger the combined shield, and the stronger the protection. But they are now facing a sixth-level civilization whose combat power far exceeds theirs, and the combined shield is completely useless under the SS-class naval guns, so that the dense formation not only does not play a protective role, but also provides great convenience for the opponent to destroy themselves in large quantities.

Sensing a major mistake in tactics, the commander of the trading market fleet immediately reacted, and the originally tight attack formation scattered like a flock of frightened birds, although such a move inevitably caused a certain amount of confusion to the fleet's attack formation, but the fleet's casualties miraculously dropped.

The war in the interstellar age is very simple, the empty universe leaves no room for the warring parties to play intrigues, the battlefield in the universe is completely transparent, and all the activities of both sides are completely under the supervision of the other party. As a result, the warring sides were only able to engage in hard-to-head artillery battles, and the era of giant ships and cannons came again. At this time, the number of warships, the range of the main guns, the level of energy, the quality of the soldiers on both sides of the war, the strength of the combat formation and the coordination ability between the fleets, and the level of tactical quality of the commanders on both sides are the key to determining the outcome of the war.

When both sides are at a similar level of technology, the greater the number of ships, the more powerful naval guns, the more firepower they pour at the enemy per unit of time, and the more damage they inflict on the enemy.

The longer the range of the main gun, it means that the cannon can be fired earlier than the enemy, giving the enemy a bigger blow before the two sides officially exchange fire, and even more, it can always maintain the maximum range of fire with the enemy, so that the enemy can always be in a passive situation.

The level of energy is the key to the victory of the cosmic war. Cosmic warfare, in the final analysis, is a competition between the warring parties on the energy level. The battleship's energy cannon, energy shield, energy engine, energy reactor, ...... Everything is inseparable from energy. A high energy level means that it has an energy cannon with stronger defense breaking ability, an energy shield with stronger protection ability, an engine with stronger propulsion ability, and an energy reactor with greater output, all of which directly determine the combat effectiveness of the battleship. Even under inferior conditions, if the fleet's energy level is higher than that of the enemy, it will not be able to obtain an alternative advantage, and it will even be able to crush the enemy. This is the case when a higher civilization ravages a lower civilization.

In a cosmic war, the battles of both sides are in battle formations, and rushing to kill the past without a head and a brain is definitely an act of looking for death. Space is three-dimensional, which means that a warship may be attacked by enemies from all directions on the battlefield, from the top, bottom, front, front, left, and right, forming a situation in which more fights and fewer fights are formed in the local space. Once attacked by the enemy's concentrated fire, the battleship that is isolated and helpless will inevitably face the danger of destruction. Therefore, when the two sides of the battle are engaged in battle, they will be arranged into a tight and neat battle formation, and the battleships inside the battle formation will alternately cover each other and line up in a dense formation to charge the enemy's combat formation, and disrupt the enemy's formation while maintaining the tight formation of their own side, and then the destroyers and assault ships will go into battle together, encircle and annihilate the enemy's lone battleship, and gradually encroach and destroy the enemy. The higher the quality of the soldiers, the closer the formation of the battleships will be, the better the coordination between the fleets, and the more advantageous they will be in battle.

In addition, the tactical command ability of the commanders of both sides also plays a great role, and in some cases can even determine the outcome of a battle. When and where should the offensive or defensive formation be used, how to change the formation, how to concentrate firepower, in which direction should the fleet go, and how should the special battlefield environment be dealt with, so as to seize the advantage of the opportunity to seize the victory as much as possible...... All this requires the judgment of the commander, and in the event of a miscalculation, the entire fleet will be in danger of annihilation.

On the battlefield, as the distance between the two warring sides narrowed, the enemy took the lead in entering the range of the main guns of the fleet's light cruisers, assault ships and frigates, and more blue beams rained towards the enemy group, and each salvo would cause countless flames to erupt in the opposing fleet. Countless red beams of light continued to impact the combined shield of the fleet, rippling the impact of the combined shield, but the shield still held firmly, and the battleships under the protection of the shield continued to pour heavy artillery fire on the enemy, sending groups of enemy ships into the abyss of destruction.

The ejection channels of the 30 aircraft carriers opened, and 150,000 individual fighters ejected from the aircraft carriers, and behind them, more small plant warfare secrets emerged densely, flying in attack formations under the leadership of their respective leaders to their respective attack starting positions, quietly waiting for the arrival of the attack moment. The huge energy bombs with propulsion units suspended under the belly of the aircraft show that these fighters are not weak.

At the rear of the marketplace fleet, in a triangular warship with an unremarkable black paint, an old intelligent creature silently watched the battle on the holographic projection. The descending curve on the display screen shows real-time data on the fleet's surviving stock of warships. Having fought a war for tens of thousands of years, he never thought that there would be a day when he would fight a sixth-level civilization.

It was a terrible battle, and for the first time he felt deeply powerless as he watched the enemy reap the lives of his own soldiers. But as the top of the trading market, he knew that this was an unavoidable war, they had no choice at all, they were just the first wave of cannon fodder used to test the enemy's combat effectiveness, and when they were the masters of the trading market, they wantonly consumed the fleet of the vassal clans, and they did not expect that they would not get rid of the fate of becoming cannon fodder today. Five hours, they only need to hold on for five hours! But five hours was longer than five epochs for him, and he even suspected that the entire trading market would be completely reduced to ashes before the five hours were up. "Is this the combat power of a sixth-level civilization? It's really terrifying," said the old intelligent creature as he leaned over and trembled.

At fifteen:50 a.m., two fleets with disproportionate combat strength, which were also thousands of miles apart, collided fiercely. Countless individual fighters flew out of the formations of both sides, swarming towards each other, desperately thinking about the other side's warships pouring artillery fire. From time to time, horrific scenes take place on the battlefield. I saw a huge fighter formation composed of sixteen fighters that were obviously sixth-level civilizations rushing towards the battleship formation on the nearest trading market, and the enemy ships that blocked along the way, whether they were destroyers, frigates, or even individual fighters, were all destroyed by the small energy cannons and energy bombs equipped on the sixteen fighters. Few people would believe such an unbelievable thing as a single fighter destroying an intercepted battleship, but it really happened strangely on the battlefield. The enemy's red energy shield was as fragile as a layer of paper in front of the individual fighter's S-class energy cannon, and it could not play a protective function at all, and was easily penetrated by the energy cannon, and then an energy missile drilled into the battleship, and the entire battleship was reduced to ashes in the violent explosion.

The approaching "super fighter" formation caused a lot of confusion in the enemy's formation, more frigates and destroyers broke away from the formation, came to block this group of enemy planes with strong combat effectiveness, and the red energy beams that shot out of the individual fighters caused violent fluctuations on the green shields of individual fighters, but more artillery fire was shrewdly dodged by the dexterous fighters. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, a frigate broke away from the formation and flew near the fighter plane to carry out a heroic self-explosion, and the huge energy emitted by the volley explosion finally broke through the energy shield of the fighter, and the entire fighter plane was also destroyed in the impact of the explosion. Seeing that the strategy worked, more enemy ships followed suit, and it didn't take long for all sixteen individual fighters to be destroyed.

As a one-time consumable on the battlefield, the individual fighter is too small and carries very limited energy, which is not enough to maintain the S-level energy shield for a long time, and it is a matter of course to be destroyed, but the price paid by the enemy is relatively much greater. Before the enemy could rejoice in the sixteen super fighters of their chance, hundreds of smaller plant fighters swarmed after the individual fighters. These plant fighters are completely different from their predecessors, they don't have powerful cannons or shields, and the frigate's secondary guns can easily tear them to shreds. However, the combat methods of these individual fighters are also different from the previous ones, they constantly dodge in the dense artillery fire, and then seize the opportunity to crash headlong into the battleship in front of them, while the energy bombs loaded inside the fuselage explode violently, blowing themselves and the enemy to pieces.

The sudden battle situation suffocated the enemy's movements, and soon they stopped them even more frantically. Suicide drones! Such words flashed in the minds of countless intelligent beings. Suicide drones are used in all civilizations, and this kind of disposable consumable with weak protection is definitely a headache for difficult opponents. However, due to the fact that the automatic control technology of many civilizations is very poor, and artificial intelligence does not dare to use it with confidence, suicide drones can only fly to the target according to the program stiff and rigid, and most of the drones cannot pass through the enemy's fire blockade at all, even if they pass through, the damage caused to the enemy is minimal. In many civilizations, suicide drones are simply a very weak weapon. The reason why it has not been completely withdrawn from the market is that there are many crazy civilizations that directly let intelligent beings fly such drones to carry out suicide attacks on the enemy, and once they encounter such a situation, the attacked party will suffer heavy losses.

The fleet's suicide drones are completely different from these civilizations. First of all, these drones are all strictly "manned". At this moment, countless amateur pilots in the fleet stay at home or in the dormitory of the school with thinking helmets, and enter the fleet's virtual combat platform through the thinking connection, where they will receive tasks with the assigned team members, and then "fly the fighters" to sail and launch an attack on the enemy. War is just a shooting game for these amateur pilots. Secondly, each individual fighter was loaded with an energy spar bomb with an astonishing explosion power, and the power of the explosion was no less than a blow from the destroyer's energy main gun. And depending on the combat mission, these fighters can also be replaced with more powerful bombs, the strongest bomb is made of SSS-class energy crystals, and the explosion power is not much better than that of the SSS-class main gun.

Strange phenomena permeated the entire battlefield, and the 30 aerospace aircraft carriers of the Fourth Fleet kept catapulting batches of individual fighters and a larger number of suicide attack planes, as if there was no end, and the number of individual fighters in the entire battlefield was always maintained at about 150,000, and the number of suicide attack planes could not be guaranteed, and the entire battlefield was full of them, and it was impossible to count them at all.

At 17:15, two hours had been going on, and the dense artillery fire was still flashing on the battlefield, illuminating the entire starry sky so brightly that it looked like huge fireworks were being set off from a distance. The number of enemy ships is less than 800,000, and the formation of enemy ships has become very scattered, the fleet is like a great white shark that has rushed into a school of fish, constantly breaking up the enemy's formation, and by the way, the lone enemy ships are shot down in batches, the battle is almost coming to an end, and the enemy's defeat is a foregone conclusion......
