878 The First Battle Behind Enemy Lines (3)
Ye Fei asked calmly, "The details of the enemy army." ”
"Thirty-six Lotus Ships, Twenty-two Triangle Ships."
"Estimated contact time?"
"Seven minutes."
"Time is enough, all ships gather their levitation shields and prepare to meet the enemy!" Ye Fei said.
The planet's railgun defense system was basically destroyed by the advancing fleet, and a large number of shells fell into the planet, blasting half of the planet's surface into mushroom clouds, and when the smoke and dust from the explosion dispersed, the ground must be full of huge craters left by the explosion.
It is likely that these craters will form a series of lake systems in the future.
The bombardment not only destroyed Atlantean buildings and facilities on the planet's surface, but also had an extremely severe impact on the planet's ecosystem, with flying smoke and dust blocking the sunlight on which everything depends, rivers and lakes freezing and plants withering, and animals dying of hunger and thirst.
Even if the smoke and dust clear, it is inevitable that the rivers will be diverted and the mountains will crack.
If the Atlanteans intervened, the time for the environment to recover would be greatly reduced, otherwise it might take tens of thousands of years for the planet to recover - the orbital defense system was over, the asteroid group regained the capital to threaten the planet, and it was foreseeable that if the Atlanteans abandoned the planet, it would soon become a barren land.
However, this is very unlikely, because the bombardment of the forward fleet is mainly concentrated on one side of the planet, and there is no damage on the other side, and as long as the Atlanteans are willing to pay the capital, it will not be long before the planet recovers as before.
The petal-like hovering shield quickly retracted to the surface of the battleship. The fleet quickly flew away according to the coordinates provided by the reconnaissance ship, and it took more than ten seconds to make a short-range faster-than-light flight, and when it got out of the faster-than-light speed, the fleet was on the enemy's way to the Midway.
By the way, Ye Fei had just made a decision to name this galaxy located in the middle of the passage the Midway Galaxy, and the planet that had received a lot of shells was naturally called Midway Star, a very evil name.
"Estimated contact time?"
"Two minutes!"
"Very well, ships - beam torpedo ready!"
Each ship comprehensively aggregates the orbital information of the enemy's faster-than-light flight and assigns all the targets one by one. The number of orbits is entered into the navigation system of the torpedo at the speed of light. Ye Fei ordered the ships to adjust the position of the battleships before he gave the launch order satisfactorily.
Lightspeed torpedoes are much heavier than crystal missiles, but bulky also has the advantage of being bulky, that is, the navigation equipment is larger and heavier. Accuracy is also higher.
Compared with. Crystal missiles, though, are much more convenient than light-speed torpedoes. However, it is completely dependent on the number of times of launch to grasp the direction, which is a typical example of a difference of a thousand miles.
Both weapons have their own strengths, but they are a combination of high and low. Two weapons that complement each other.
After the rise of directed energy weapons marked by lasers, missiles gradually lost their usefulness because of their slow speed, short range, and easy interception, and light-speed torpedoes and crystal missiles not only enriched the missile family, but also gave new life to the missile, an ancient weapon with a history of nearly 300 years.
Fifty-eight light-speed torpedoes slammed head-on into the enemy's battleship with layers of space fluctuations, and on the image obtained by the reconnaissance ship, the two groups of opposing space fluctuations quickly approached, and various small celestial bodies along the way were torn to pieces by the impact of the light explosion.
Before the spatial fluctuations met, a dazzling flash suddenly erupted in the void, and then a messy fragment of the battleship appeared out of thin air, instantly turning the void that had even exploded into an asteroid.
When the explosion ended, the two waves of spatial fluctuations finally met, and then passed through each other without interfering, each flying straight in the original direction.
The God of War immediately received a report from the reconnaissance ship, and Xia Zhuoyan hurriedly reported: "Boss, the reconnaissance ship has an urgent report, the beam torpedo hit twenty-six, missed the target twenty-two, hit an enemy ship twenty-five, a light-speed torpedo hit an asteroid and exploded, and the remaining enemy ships are twenty-three!" ”
"All ships immediately organize supplementary firing!" Ye Fei said.
After all, the enemy's battleship is not a huge bone mound, although the accuracy of the light-speed torpedo is okay, but first affected by a large number of asteroids on the way, the size of the enemy ship is much smaller than the bone mound, and the hit rate can only be said to be above the passing line, and it is completely unable to achieve the effect of a one-hit kill like a crystal missile.
Having said that, the hit rate of crystal missiles against targets in a faster-than-light state is really not necessarily stronger than that of light-speed torpedoes.
With the exception of the Ares which used a few light-speed torpedoes, the other ships were still fully stocked, and the number of light-speed torpedoes was enough to support the fleet in several more of the same battles.
When there was only one minute left in the contact between the two sides, the second round of light-speed torpedoes entered a faster-than-light state.
More than ten seconds later, the reconnaissance ship, which had always monitored the enemy's movements, sent back the latest battle report: "Fourteen hits, nine missed targets, and nine enemy ships remain!" ”
"Scissors, is there still a chance?" Ye Fei suddenly asked without a tail.
The tacit scissors immediately replied: "It's less than a minute, it's too tight." ”
"Then, well, order the fleet, evacuate immediately!"
Everyone thought that Ye Fei would make persistent efforts to kill the only nine remaining enemy ships, but they didn't expect Commander Ye to unexpectedly give the order to evacuate the battle, and there was an uproar.
However, no one questioned the commander's orders at this critical time, and all the battleships immediately entered the superluminal speed, left the galaxy under the leadership of the flagship, and returned to the reef area passage.
In Ye Fei's opinion, giving a heavy blow to the Midway Star and destroying a large number of enemy ships stationed in this galaxy has achieved the purpose of this battle, and it is time to withdraw from the battle.
When the fleet returned to the passage, the only nine Atlantean battleships had not yet arrived at Midway, and those light-speed torpedoes that missed the target continued to move forward after missing the target because of Ye Fei's order-due to the angle adjustment during launch, all the light-speed torpedoes were pointing at the only giant planet in the Midway system!
Ye Fei waited patiently with the fleet for more than ten minutes, and all the light-speed torpedoes that missed the target all hit the satellites near the giant planet, or simply hit the giant planet, although there was not much damage, but the Atlanteans near the giant planet were frightened.
Everyone thought that this battle should end here, but they didn't expect Ye Fei to order again: "The engineering ship sets off to collect the asteroids in the outermost two asteroid belts." ”
Scissors was puzzled: "Boss, what are you doing collecting that thing?" Shells for gravity guns? ”
Ye Fei laughed evilly: "I really made you right!" ”
"Huh?" Scissors was dumbfounded, "Boss, what the hell do you want to do?" (To be continued......)
