877 The First Battle Behind Enemy Lines (2)

The most exaggerated Pluto and Homo sapiens even threw out the pieces of metal that served as armor on the surface of the battleship.

Although the speed of the armor blocks projected by the surface force field of the Tongguò ship was very slow, each armor block was as large as four cubic meters and weighed thirty tons, which was much heavier than the shells fired by the heavy guns!

Limited to the caliber and force field strength and other reasons, the maximum weight of the shells fired by the gravity gun does not exceed 10 tons, otherwise the speed of the shell will be affected because the quality of the shell is too high.

Of course, more than ten tons is not impossible to launch, but the fleet's task now is to carry out high-density firepower projection, and the use of large-mass shells will inevitably affect the density of firepower.

Moreover, the volume of a ten-ton metal block is more than one cubic meter, such a pure metal block falls directly into the planet from the air, and the damage caused to the ground is comparable to that of an asteroid, and the power is too great, this is no longer a blow to the enemy, but the destruction of the planet, so the practice of these two warships was immediately stopped by Ye Fei.

He also needs the Atlanteans on this planet as bait, how can he make them die so happily?

In addition, when a physical cannonball enters the atmosphere, its shape affects the direction of its fall, so the shells used in the gravity cannon are made into a droplet shape with a streamlined shape.

And the armor blocks are square, and the hit accuracy is much lower than that of heavy guns. Fortunately, the greater mass compensates for the lack of accuracy, and it is believed that as long as the deviation during the fall is not particularly strong, the target will not be out of the range of the power of the explosion - the power of this thing when it hits the ground is higher than that of a large-yield nuclear bomb.

The guns of the advancing fleet were soon discovered by the Atlanteans, and the defensive guns in the high orbits of the planet immediately began to change their orbits. Quickly concentrate in the direction where the advancing fleet is located.

The mass of the shells flew too slowly, giving the Atlanteans enough time to react, and although the density of the shells was extremely high, it was difficult to say whether they could break through the defenses.

At the same time as the gravity cannon fired, the levitating shields of the thirteen battleships were gradually unfurling, and when the shells flew to a distance of only one light second from the defensive guns, the layers of defensive guns fired dense decomposition beams, and the first wave of shells all disappeared in a very short time.

At this time, the fleet's levitating shield was also ready to shoot, and aiming at the Atlantean railgun was a hard blow.

The task of the railgun is to defend against asteroids, not against the fleet. Both in range and power, it is much worse than the Battleship version of the Dismantling Beam Cannon. In the confrontation between the two sides, they were completely at a disadvantage, and one after another was destroyed by the laser cannons.

This is the first time that the main gun and gravity gun have been coordinated since the Ares class battleship was formed.

The number of railguns dropped rapidly, and with it, the number of losses from gravity shells. Although the Atlanteans constantly mobilized railguns from other directions of the planet to replenish the losses. But there will be a gap in the process of mobilization. Hundreds of shells took the opportunity to pass through the defenses and were about to enter the planet's atmosphere.

The frontal railgun simply did not have time to turn the muzzle, even if it was barely turned. It will also throw a rat trap because the muzzle of the cannon is aimed at the planet. Fortunately, the railguns on both sides of the planet fired in time, disintegrating the beams through the top layer of the atmosphere, successfully intercepting the shells before they crashed into the atmosphere.

However, this came at the cost of a one-third reduction in frontal interception firepower, and the Atlantean defenses retreated thousands of kilometers in the direction of the planet.

And as the railguns continued to be destroyed, the Atlantean defenses continued to retreat.

The forward fleet fully occupies the initiative on the battlefield, and it seems that it will not take long to completely break the defense layer of the Atlanteans, but Ye Fei did not relax his vigilance because of his own superiority - there will not be only those six battleships, right?

Seeing that the defense line of the Atlanteans was only more than 10,000 kilometers away from the position of the railgun, twelve lotus warships finally flew out from the rear of the planet.

Ye Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally out, each ship is ready to power the impact ship, pay attention, the impact ship can't leave the ecliptic plane!" ”

The safe space in the galaxy is much larger than in the passage, but Ye Fei couldn't tell where the boundary between the safe zone and the danger zone outside the plane of the ecliptic was.

For the sake of caution, the range of activity must be maintained within the ecliptic plane to ensure the safety of the power shock ship itself.

As soon as the long-awaited Lotus Peng battleship appeared, it cooperated with the railgun to make a beautiful counterattack, and the dense high-power decomposition beam successfully forced the defensive line back.

Ye Fei gave an order, and the twelve power shock ships that locked on the target started their magnetic engines, while the other fourteen power shock ships that did not grab the target could only stay in the rear of the fleet and watch.

The most obvious spatial fluctuations instantly swept through the void near the planet, and the twelve Lotus Battleships fell silent after a brief period of glory, and the shock ship that destroyed the Lotus Battleship also shuttled back and forth from the densest position of the railguns several times when it returned, destroying a large number of railguns.

The few remaining railguns of the Atlanteans could no longer hold the defensive layer, and after several more salvos from the advancing fleet, the few remaining railguns were destroyed.

There was no longer any obstacle in front of the cannonball, and the cannonball swarm finally burrowed into the planet's atmosphere, and a bright red hot meteor gradually fell into the depths of the atmosphere.

Ye Fei immediately ordered the firing of the gravity cannon to be terminated.

Don't look at the gunners who just had a good time, but the gravity gun fires physical shells, the space on the battleship is limited, and the shells carried are not very many.

Although gravity cannonballs do not pick cannonballs, and can be fired from the barrel of any cannonball, the best source of cannonballs in the universe is nothing more than iron asteroids, which are much worse in texture than pure metal balls or metal piers, and when attacking planets, the mass and volume of the cannonballs must be increased to achieve the desired effect.

In other words, with the DIY version of asteroid shells, the number of ammunition reserves of the battleship will be reduced by at least one-third under the same conditions, and even by half if the shells are of poor quality!

Even if you don't return to the Blue Light Star, you need to arrive at a human colony to have a chance to replenish the cannonballs, and the rest of your family must be saved.

However, even the cannonballs that have been fired are enough to scorch half of the planet.

The first shell finally landed, and the mushroom cloud that rose into the sky covered the sky, and it was actually an armor block!

Immediately, countless large mushrooms bloomed everywhere.

"That's it!" Ye Fei said, "Prepare to retreat......"

"Report!" Xia Zhuoyan raised his head suddenly, "Chief, the reconnaissance ship reports that the Atlantis fleet has appeared in the direction of the giant planet!" (To be continued......)
