Chapter 112: The Scorpion Army (Part II)
Five hours later.
In the outer space of the Mayach system, the capital of the Mayach Kingdom, 30,000 warships were arranged in a triangular defensive formation, quietly stopping in the starry sky. The two corners of the triangle at the front are the Sixth Fleet and the Seventh Fleet, and as for the Twelfth Fleet, which is low in combat and demoralized, they can only occupy a corner slightly behind.
Salman knew very well that if the Twelfth Fleet had been placed in front, he would have not waited for the battle to begin, and as soon as they saw the enemy's army, they would run away without saying a word.
Staring out the porthole into the dark starry sky, Saleman's chest heaved slightly.
When it comes to war, it is impossible not to be nervous, even a veteran like Salman. It was not only the atmosphere before the battle that made him nervous, not only the First Fleet that had not yet been able to contact the King, but the size of the upcoming fleet.
It is also not known how the fleet, which came from the Eastern Front, managed to pass through the territory of Maiach without being detected by anyone. In the hours leading up to this, Salman had sent out reconnaissance ships from hundreds of planets from the Eastern Battlefield to Meyach, trying to find the location of each other and find out how many of them were. However, no matter how many ships they sent, they could not find the location of each other. Even if the location of the other party is located according to the Tianxun network, the spaceship sent out cannot be found, and only a quiet and dark starry sky can be seen.
Salman knew that the other party must have some kind of extremely powerful hidden technology, which made it impossible for his ship to determine the location of the other party.
The more this happens, the more worried Salman becomes. The true number of the other party is most likely the number you guessed, or even more.
Unfortunately, in this case, even worrying is useless. I have contacted the Chu Tang side before, and the Chu Tang side has sent 80,000 main warships led by Lin Moxue, the grandson of Marshal Lin Jiaoyang, who have rushed to the rescue, and now they should have entered the battlefield. But he also couldn't contact Lin Moxue's fleet, so the only ones who could stop the Scorpion army were their 30,000 spaceships.
"It's coming!"
The soldiers in the command room who had been staring at the screen let out an exclamation, and Umar and Salman turned their heads at the same time, and everyone gasped at the same time when they saw the sparkling light on the screen.
"Immediately calculate the number of opposing ships!"
Saleman yelled loudly, trying to hide his fear, but the slightest tremor in his voice betrayed him.
"Yes!" Several soldiers immediately calculated on the light brain, and after analyzing various data such as light, gravity, and mass, the error between the results obtained and the actual one percent would not exceed one percent. "The results are in." The officer in charge of the calculation shouted, and then his gaze fell on the calculated number, and he was suddenly stunned.
"How much!"
Salman asked aloud, but the officer just stared blankly at the screen, not saying a word. Furious, Salman stepped forward and pulled the officer aside, then looked at the screen. When he saw that number, he himself was stunned.
"How is that possible!" Salman stared blankly at the screen: "Actually...... Actually...... There are 84,000 of them! That's almost the number of six fleets...... Flagships, by the way, look at the number of their flagships...... Six flagships! This, this is absolutely impossible, six fleets of eighty thousand warships, that is, they lost only six thousand warships on the Eastern Front? ”
On the Eastern Front, the Kingdom of Mayah had four fleets to supply 60,000 warships.
If the enemy had lost only 6,000 ships, the number of battle losses would have been a terrifying 10 to 1! This may be possible in ground legion warfare in the Earth era, but it will be extremely difficult to achieve such results on the space battlefield. What's more, the 60,000 warships of Maiah were on the defensive, not ambushed by the enemy on the way to attack.
This is also the reason for Salman's consternation and horror.
"General Salman, what are the enemy numbers?"
Umar walked up to him, and Salman was only whispering to himself when he said the numbers, and no one else heard him.
Saleman looked at him with a bitter look on his face, he wanted to hide this number, he knew that when this number was announced, the morale of the entire army would plummet. However, he did not see a way to conceal the number of enemies, and even if he did not name a number, the other ships could have counted it; Even if the captains of those ships also concealed the numbers, when the enemy ships approached, they could still be seen through the portholes of the ships.
When Salman said the number, as he expected, everyone was stunned.
Not a single person spoke.
There was silence in the command room.
After a long time, Umar burst out laughing. He laughed as he swept over everyone in the command room. In the end, it fell on the communications soldiers.
"Open the Legion Channel, I'm going to speak to everyone!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" The messenger immediately turned on the communication channel and looked at Umar.
Taking a deep breath, Umar said aloud, "Attention, everyone, I am Prince Umar, the younger brother of His Majesty. Before His Majesty went to conquer the enemy, he entrusted me with the task of defending the capital, and with you. And now, the enemy's army has appeared in our sight, and everyone must be able to see their number. I think you should know what the outcome of this battle will be! I don't want to say anything more here, but behind us is the star of Myach, the capital of the kingdom. This planet is the capital of the kingdom, our hometown, the place where we live and survive. Our hometown, our loved ones, live on this planet......"
"So!"
Speaking of this, Umar roared loudly, using his somewhat thin body to breathe, and roared loudly: "My brothers and sisters, we have no way out, the only way is to kill all the shameless bastards of the Scorpion Empire at all costs, kill them all, kill them all!" ”
Although Umar's words were extremely ordinary, his last few murderous words deeply aroused the blood in the hearts of most soldiers. Especially the pirates and warlords who surrendered, they were originally bloody executioners who had been suppressed by Meyach's heavy military training for a year, and Umar's words successfully revived the bloodthirsty heart that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time.
After a pause, 'Umar said aloud: "Brothers, sisters, do not be afraid. Although the number of enemies is three times that of us, we do not need to defeat them, as long as we can hold out for a few hours, Your Majesty, who has already received the communication, will rush back with a large army and 80,000 reinforcements from the Chutang Empire. When the time comes, we will fight back and forth, and we will definitely be able to wipe them all out here! At the same time, in my capacity as a prince, I assure you that as long as you can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, everyone who participates in the war will be promoted to two levels and rewarded with a year's salary! In case of sacrifice, on the basis of the reward of one year's salary, the pension is paid three times! ”
The last few words completely mobilized everyone's momentum. Immediately, everyone in the entire legion was demoralized and roared loudly to prepare for battle.
"So...... Let's fight! ”
At the same time, almost all the people on the planet Meyakh looked to the sky.
Even though they couldn't see the battlefield beyond through the star system at all, they looked to the sky. When they learned that the army of the Scorpion Empire was heading straight for the capital star, although everyone was full of fear and fear, they also knew that they had no way back. The only thing that can be done is to pray to the gods in the underworld, hoping that a miracle will happen.
More than 80,000 warships of the Scorpion Empire rushed towards Mai Ya Xing without slowing down, although there were 30,000 warships deployed there in front, but they directly and completely ignored them as if the other party did not exist. Until it was about to enter the range of the main gun, 80,000 warships opened the muzzles of the main guns in unison, and the rich blue light quickly converged.
In an instant, Maiach's fleet opened fire.
Two-thirds of these 30,000 warships were Wumu-class battleships, and the range of their main guns was much higher than that of the Weilong battleships, allowing them to carry out main gun bombardment outside of the enemy's range.
"Launch!"
At Salman's command, more than 20,000 dazzling rays of light shot towards the battleships that had been locked by them in the overwhelming Scorpion army. Looking at these bursts of light, Umar shouted excitedly: "The Wumu-class battleships are powerful, and this round of salvo can kill at least 3,000 of their warships1"
After thinking about it, he exclaimed again: "No, more than three thousand. The enemy's fleet is very dense, it can be reached even with your eyes closed, and I estimate that this round of salvo will be able to kill them with 5,000 warships! ”
Hearing Umar's words, Saleman thought for a moment, but did not say what was in his heart.
If the enemy had really been destroyed so easily, it would not have been possible to destroy all 60,000 warships and the enemy would have lost only 6,000 warships on the Eastern Front. There's definitely something weird about it! But what it is, Salman, a veteran, can't imagine.
"Could it be an energy shield?"
The thought merely flashed through his mind, and he dismissed it. Now there is no country in the universe that will use the energy shield technology on a large scale to the main fleet, and this kind of extravagant armament is not even used by the Chu Tang Empire, but only on a few royal spaceships.
"If it's not, then what could it be?"
Looking at the beams of light in the starry sky, Saleman always felt that something was wrong.
But soon, he knew what the problem was.
The blazing white high-energy beam sliced through the sky, and the enemy ships did not use energy shields. But...... The beams fired from the main guns that were clearly and accurately locked onto the opposing battleship produced a slight deviation at the moment when they shot out of the muzzles.
In space warfare, the firing range of the main artillery is often hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers. If the main gun deviates by a distance of 0.0000001 millimeters, the high-energy laser will go to a place that no one knows after it is fired, and it will not be able to attack the target at all. Therefore, the main guns of each battleship are extremely precise, and they have been tested extremely carefully at the factory to ensure that there will be no error. The control of the main gun is also controlled by the light brain after the gunner's judgment, so as to ensure that there will be no error with the gunner's judgment and calculation.
But now, this is how strange deviations have occurred.
Moreover, this deviation did not occur on one battleship, but at the same time on all warships that fired the main guns.
More than 20,000 beams that were supposed to fly in parallel and eventually command the target battleship were ruthlessly deflected. The 20,000 beams of light were like a blooming flower, scattering in all directions, and no one knew where those beams would eventually fly.
"It's ...... Deceptive, right? ”
Umar stared blankly.
If it's just a ship's main gun that misses, it could be its own problem. But now that all the battleships have missed, and the deviation is so unrealistic, that can only say a little.
"I now finally know why those four fleets on the Eastern Front only had a chance to defeat the enemy's 6,000 warships......"
Looking at the enemy fleet that had lost less than a hundred warships on the screen, Salman's face was full of bitterness.
This situation is beyond the imagination of this veteran. He didn't know how the enemy did all this, and he didn't know what the main guns of his battleship were deflected. It is clear that the enemy has some kind of mysterious and peculiar technology. Although it is nothing more than a technology, today they will suffer the most complete defeat. Even if His Majesty Omir and Chu Tang reinforcements arrived at the same time at this time, I am afraid that it would only be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
In just an instant, Salman felt as if he had aged countless years, and he sat down in his chair weakly, staring at the screen in a daze, not saying a word.
Like him, the rest of the command room, including Prince Umar, was shocked and unable to utter a word.
In the command room, as when the 80,000 warships appeared, there was a desperate silence.
"Didi ......"
A rapid communicator suddenly broke the silence.
On the battlefield, ordinary soldiers and officers would demand that the communicator sound be turned off instead of vibrating, but the senior officers were no longer among them. At this time, there were only two high-ranking officers in the command room, one was Salman and the other was Umar.
Umar was stunned for a moment, then looked at Saleman beside him. After the other party shook his head, he remembered and hurriedly turned on his communicator.
An unseen communication number.
Omalton was a little angry. At such a critical moment on the battlefield, it is really infuriating that someone actually comes to disturb you. But in an instant, he opened the communication with a wry smile. Even if someone disturbs you, no matter how hard you try in this battle, it will end in failure. In the last moments of your life, let's see who this stranger really is.
The communication is connected, and a young man's avatar appears on the screen.
At the sight of this man, Umar was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Prince Umar?"
"Yes, I am, who are you?" Although the other party was not as humble and polite to his own prince as the others, Umar could feel that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person. But he thought about it carefully, and he didn't remember who the other party was.
"I'm Yunyi."
Hearing these four words, Umar finally remembered who the other party was. The man he had met once, whom his brother called his true friend, who helped him defeat Karzarin and those countries, and ultimately led to the rise of Maiyah.
Cloud Wings!
"Prince Umar, I am Yunyi. I already know that you are at war with the armies of the Scorpion Empire, and I know what just happened. Now listen to me, I have an hour at most to reach the battlefield, I need you to hold on for this hour, as long as I come, you will win this battle! ”
Umar was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time before he reacted under Salman's reminder: "An hour? He smiled bitterly: "Now that you know what just happened, do you think we can last an hour?" ”
Yun Yi smiled confidently: "Don't worry, what they used is just a small trick, I have already cracked it through the Tianxun Network." ”
After turning off the communicator, Yun Yi said to the empty command room, "Little Bear, set the spaceship to autopilot. Then, go meet your fellow human ...... for a while."
