The fleet guarding the exit had apparently found the Pioneer's location and turned to the Pioneer's murderous pursuit.

This is a small fleet of four heavy cruisers and twelve fast attack ships with one mothership, but it is more than enough to deal with one light cruiser.

"It's the Empire's fleet!" Ahsoka had already seen the huge Imperial emblem on the battleship.

But even if she doesn't say it, everyone won't think that this will be the fleet of other forces - after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, the Sith Emperor swept through all the forces in the galaxy with iron and blood, including the secession forces, interstellar pirates, etc., all of which became the dregs of the galaxy.

The fleet in front of them was obviously the fleet stationed in the area of Tatuin, and it was not surprising that they came to intercept it, but what really puzzled people was how they knew where the Pioneer had jumped.

"It's the Hellfire engine!" Shen Yi suddenly said, "They must have made a fuss about the engine!"

"Damn, I just said it was too easy to steal the engine!" one of the adventurers yelled.

This is a mockery and unfair statement.

The difficulty of a thing depends not only on the event itself, but also on the performer. This stealing the engine may not have experienced too many twists and turns, but it was done with the joint efforts of more than eighty elite adventurers in the third district. The person who executes the plan has a strong ability to execute it, and the plan will naturally unfold smoothly.

It's just that no one expected that the Galactic Empire would play such a hand.

"So what now?" Zhou Yiyu asked.

"What else can I do, we can't just give up the engine because of this, right?" Shen Yi scoffed: "We've arrived at Tatooine, it doesn't matter if they know where we are anymore, the next thing to do is to fight." When this mission is completed and we leave this world, it doesn't matter what hands and feet are on the engine, and the Galactic Empire can't rush out of the mission world to hunt us down. ”

"Understood, then let's do it with them!" Zhou Yiyu nodded.

"But how do you fight? 1 against 17, can you win?" someone asked.

"If you just fight for firepower, of course you can't win. Zhou Yiyu replied: "But if you fight the broadside battle, it is still very promising." ”

For adventurers with a small number, weak firepower, and super melee ability, entering the enemy warship to fight is their magic weapon to defeat the strong with the weak, and it is also the biggest reliance. As long as you can enter the inside of the enemy ship, no matter how powerful the enemy ship is, it will eventually be ravaged by adventurers.

The only question is, how do I get in?

Interstellar warfare is the era of giant ships and cannons, and the distance between the two sides is often calculated in tens of millions of kilometers, and it is not easy to fly this distance.

"If you want to get on the side, you have to get close first, and the current distance, even if you go by as a transport ship, you will be shot down before you can get close......" Sure enough, someone said.

"Then it's up to us to create our own chances. This time it was Shen Yi who spoke: "As long as we can create a situation where melee combat is more beneficial to them than long-range combat, they are very likely to take the initiative to approach us...... Yiyu, it's up to you. ”

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Zhou Yiyu nodded, and then raised his voice and ordered: "Slow down, the energy of the power furnace will drop to fifty percent, keep flying at an inertial speed, and concentrate the energy on the defensive cover." ”

"Yes, the enemy ship is flying at full speed and is expected to be in effective range in five minutes. ”

The so-called effective range does not represent the maximum distance of the attacking fire.

Due to the vacuum, the range of all weapons is infinitely amplified, even if Shen Yi fires a shot on the ship, as long as there is enough time, it can reach the designated target. Therefore, the effective range here refers to the shortest reaction time given to the enemy after firing, and the maximum chance of hitting the enemy.

Due to the large size, complex operation, and difficult evasion of the Galaxy Battleship, if an attack can hit the enemy within thirty seconds, it can be regarded as an effective range.

However, due to the different characteristics of the weapons, the concept of the so-called effective range is only relative, just as the effective range of a pistol and a sniper rifle is completely different. Therefore, in space warfare, the so-called effective range of enemy ships is usually defaulted to the fastest flying laser, and since the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, the so-called effective range in space warfare usually refers to 10 million kilometers.

It is for this reason that in the era of interstellar warfare, the frequency of switching between attack and defense is actually greatly reduced, and if you have the leisure, you can theoretically even have a small meeting when the enemy launches an attack to discuss how to deal with the attack, during which you can also gag a few witty words.

The black battleship seemed to melt into the sea, chasing the Pioneer at what seemed to be a slow pace, but in fact it was closing the distance of thousands of kilometers every second.

Finally, the battleship flying at the forefront entered the maximum effective range, and a sparkling flame lit up.

"The enemy ships are firing, and twelve Comet missiles are coming at us, and they are expected to arrive in four minutes and twelve seconds!" a soldier shouted.

"Hit us with missiles?, do these guys look down on us too much?" Hua Tianrui frowned.

Although he didn't know as much about interstellar warfare as the Broken Blades, he did know that the concept of range was different between different weapons. The difference between the flight speed of missiles and lasers is so great that on the interstellar battlefield, the use of missiles to attack is no longer much different from the traditional white-knuckle warfare.

The enemy ship launches missiles at this time, which is like firing a throwing knife at an opponent with a gun.

"You can underestimate their fighting ability, but never underestimate their tactical literacy. Zhou Yiyu replied: "This is just a conventional test, the comet missile has the characteristics of automatic tracking and automatic change of direction, which is difficult to intercept." They can analyze the characteristics of enemy ships through our countermeasures. They didn't understand the characteristics of the Pioneer, so they had to test it first. Another advantage of using a missile attack is that it can be terminated at any time, which can be regarded as a deterrent practice. If we send a surrender message during this period, then the missile attack can be stopped. This shows that they have the intention to capture us alive. ”

"Capture us alive?" Hua Tianrui's eyes lit up: "That means that as long as we give them a chance, they will definitely fight with us." ”

"That's right! Capturing the enemy alive and capturing the enemy ship is much greater than destroying the enemy ship, as long as they are still human, as long as they still want to be promoted, they will not give up such an opportunity, and this is our opportunity!"

Saying that, Zhou Yiyu had already ordered: "Launch a laser to intercept and shoot down those missiles, and do it cleanly!"

Hua Tianrui smiled: "I didn't expect you to think about the problem politically." ”

Zhou Yiyu replied lightly: "There is nothing strange about this, the real strong person can learn quickly as long as he is useful to himself, and ordinary people can learn quickly as long as he likes it." I'm just an ordinary person, but the current situation is what I love, and this is my field......"

Speaking of the last sentence, Zhou Yiyu has once again shown his strong self-confidence.

It seems that the Rainbow Bridge jump has given him a huge boost in confidence.

With a few pillars of light flashing, it didn't take long for the void to be full of bright fireworks.

Immediately after that, a few more flashes of light lit up on the battleship in the distance.

"The enemy's four heavy cruisers are starting to recharge, and they are expected to fire shaped ion cannons at us, with an estimated arrival time of twenty-four seconds, attacking the target, our starboard gravity cabin!"

It seems that Zhou Yiyu's reaction disappointed the enemy ship, and a real attack followed.

"The port side turbine is rotating at full speed, the ion accelerator cannon is charged, and the fire is concentrated to attack the enemy's second ship!" Zhou Yiyu's hand was on the console, and his body and mind had once again merged with the entire spaceship.

Eight huge beams of plasma light were sent out from the four heavy cruisers, flying towards the Pioneer at full speed, like a comet flying through the atmosphere, leaving a dazzling splendor in the vastness of space.

The Pioneer's massive hull tilted to the right at this moment, as if a fighter plane was rolling on the right side, its movement seemed slow, but at that moment it had rolled out of a range of hundreds of kilometers, and those thick pillars of light had already swept along the belly of the Pioneer and flew into the endless starry sky.

The Pioneer made a deftly 360-degree loop with its bulky body, and the commander of the enemy ship was stunned.

In the next moment, two ion beams from the Pioneer were already flying towards the enemy ship No. 2.

The enemy battleship obviously did not have Zhou Yiyu's ability to roll the battleship as a toy, and a huge energy network suddenly appeared.

The ion acceleration cannon slammed into the energy net, stirring up an astonishing energy color, and the energy shield could not completely offset the huge impact, and the officers and men inside the ship were shaken to the ground.

But then, the four heavy cruisers had already sent out a large rain of energy light at the same time, and pillars of light shuttled through space, weaving a large net towards the Pioneer cover.

The time to truly embody Zhou Yiyu's ability to operate the spaceship came, the Pioneer was like a nimble swimming fish swimming in space, it did not open the energy defense cover, but relied on its dexterity to constantly avoid attacks, only occasionally when it could not dodge the energy shield to block it, and then withdrew, and steadily retreated, trying to open the distance.

In the fleet mothership, a half-human, half-mechanical imperial general about three meters tall looked at the performance of the Pioneer and said to himself: "Extraordinary technology, they have an excellent captain. ”

"However, their energy seems to be a little insufficient, and it should be that the energy consumed during the jump is too large. An adjutant replied from the side.

"Approach them, send the group of fighters, and release four more Predators. ”

"Yes!"

The next moment, a large number of warplanes flew out of the fleet in the distance, and flew towards the Pioneer.

"They're on war!" shouted a summoning soldier.

"I saw it. Zhou Yiyu's gaze was still calm.

Before the enemy fleet was completely approaching, a large number of fighters were dispatched, and the deterrent effect was still greater than the actual combat effect, but Zhou Yiyu didn't think that things would be so simple.

"Zeus, analyze the composition of the enemy fleet. ”

"Yes, four hundred and eighty warplanes, forty Swallows, one hundred and twenty Lightnings, fifty Thunders, two hundred Wildcats, and ten electronic jammers. ”

"What are they doing with electronic jammers?" Zhou Yiyu paused, and he turned around and shouted, "Hansen!"

The adventurer who had used the spirit search to help everyone locate in Krusgen earlier nodded, and had once again used his ability in the far space, and in this infinite starry sky, his spirit search ability had also been strengthened, and the distance had long exceeded the range set by the system.

He quickly spotted his target and shouted, "There are four Predators hiding in the swarm." ”

"Damn, they're going to use a hunting net!" Zhou Yiyu scolded.

The enemy did want to capture him alive, but apparently not by engaging broadside, but by releasing a powerful trapping net directly from four trappers to catch the nimble fish.

"Locate those four trappers!" Zhou Yiyu shouted.

"Can't locate it!" the adventurer cried, "This time it's too far away, the vacuum extension can only be seen by me, but it can't connect me to the device!"

"Hell!" Zhou Yiyu punched the table.

"Let me do it. Ahsoka said suddenly.

Her hand put on Zhou Yiyu's shoulder, and said softly: "Close your eyes and feel the Force, they are your eyes, your nose, and your ears, which will guide you in the dark......"

Zhou Yiyu frowned, but he still respected what Ahsoka said and closed his eyes slightly.

There was a bewildered darkness in front of him, but the power from Ahsoka on his shoulders was like a light, gradually brightening up in the depths of the darkness.

Zhou Yiyu saw countless stars twinkling in it.

"It's ......"

"Shh......hh ”

Zhou Yiyu took a long breath, and he felt the Force according to the method that Ahsoka had taught him.

It's funny, for the past forty hours, he'd had mastered the Force at almost nothing, but now, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if something was pulling him in the dark.

Gradually, the stars became brighter and brighter.

Zhou Yiyu finally saw clearly that those points of light were a large number of incoming fighters.

Four dark black trappers are heading this way under the cover of electronic jammers, encircling from four directions.

"Find the target......" Zhou Yiyu muttered.

His eyes were still closed, but his fingers seemed to automatically see the buttons in front of the table, and he went down one by one, and at the same time entered the target direction command.

Immediately afterward, the Pioneer's four thick laser cannons blasted out, passing through the group and hitting four predators.

Before the hunters could get close to their target, they exploded into four fireballs and vanished.

"Success!" Zhou Yiyu shouted.

The next moment he had retreated from that wonderful space.

Ahsoka sighed: "You still care too much about success or failure......"

If Zhou Yiyu hadn't been so excited just now, he could have supported the environment just now for a while, which would have been of great benefit to him to continue to explore the Force and master the Force.

Zhou Yiyu didn't mind: "It doesn't matter, I still have time, I can master it." ”

"The planes are attacking!" shouted a soldier.

The roaring group of planes finally became angry, and while approaching at high speed, they began to fire all kinds of firepower at the Pioneer, this time the firepower was more fierce than the previous fleet's firepower, filling the starry sky, weaving a huge firepower network in a real sense.

Even with Zhou Yiyu's control skills, he could only dodge desperately and reduce the area of the attack, and it was impossible to avoid them all.

Artillery fire hit the Pioneer, and bursts of explosive flames rose from the Pioneer.

"The left side of the hull is damaged, and the damage is four percent!"

"The second isolation chamber is damaged!"

"The starboard side was hit by heavy artillery fire, and two turbines were injured and stopped!"

"The gravity chamber is damaged, the backup system is activated!"

"The life-sustaining system has been hit hard and we are losing the air generator!"

"Request to fully open the Energy Defense Shield!"

"The request is refused, continue the local energy shield defense!" Zhou Yiyu operated the spacecraft to continue to evade, on the one hand, he ordered to send a repair robot to repair, and on the other hand, he insisted on not opening the energy shield, and only used a little energy shield defense in key parts. Therefore, the spaceship at this moment is completely relying on its own body to resist, which causes the Pioneer to catch fire everywhere, and the repair robot is fully dispatched, and Shen Yi is running around like a firefighter to repair the damaged parts.

Finally, a cannon shot hit the inner side of the Pioneer, right in the power compartment.

"The power compartment has been attacked, the power furnace has been damaged, and the energy has risen erratically!" one soldier cried out in a hoarse voice.

"Stop now!"

"Stop!"

The Pioneer's power furnace was finally fading, and it was still flying, but by inertia.

A large number of warplanes flew towards the Pioneer again, like a swarm of bees flying towards a bear stealing honey.

"Hell, we're surrounded!" An adventurer exclaimed: "Zhou Yiyu, you're going to kill all of us!"

Zhou Yiyu roared loudly: "Shut up, the commander of the enemy ship is very cautious, otherwise how could they come up." You see, now the enemy ships are actively pressing on us!"

The fleet in the distance finally flew towards the Pioneer at full speed, perhaps in their opinion, the Pioneer was already a caged beast at this time, and there was no room for resistance.

This is also the opportunity that Zhou Yiyu is waiting for.

His eyes were fixed on the approaching fleet, which had ceased fire at the same time, and in his ears Zeus was telling the distance.

The Pioneer was still under fire from the cannons, but the intensity was noticeably stronger, and it was clear that the enemy was planning to capture it alive.

"A hundred thousand kilometers away!" Zeus suddenly exclaimed.

For interstellar warfare, this is already equivalent to a passing distance.

"Open the defensive cover, the engine is running at full speed, and the fighter will be dispatched!" Zhou Yiyu punched the platform and shouted: "All adventurers are ready to attack!"

"Guys, show them how good we are!" roared the impatient Flood Wave.

"Roar!" the adventurers roared excitedly.

In this spaceship, most of them could not exert their strength, and they were already suffocated, and now they finally had the moment when the bayonet was red.

One after another, fighter planes flew out of the belly compartment of the Pioneer and landed in the eyes of the commander of the enemy ship in the distance, and the other party only let out a contemptuous snort and said, "The trapped beast is still fighting." ”

But in the next moment, the oversized defensive cover that suddenly appeared on the hull of the Pioneer enveloped the entire ship, and the commander immediately fell to the bottom.

"They still have energy!" the commander screamed.

At that moment, he understood what was about to happen, and shouted into the intercom: "The fleet retreats, and all fighters launch an all-fire attack on the enemy ships!"

At this time, he still had a glimmer of hope that he would take out the Harbinger before the enemy posed a real threat to him.

But he didn't know that although the Pioneer was just an ordinary light cruiser, after being loaded with a large amount of Eternal Heart, its energy shield defense capabilities had already far surpassed that of any enemy warship. In terms of purely defensive capabilities, the Pioneer is actually worthy of being the overlord of the galaxy world, perhaps only the Sith Great's ship, the only destroyer-level Emperor in the entire galaxy, can be compared to it.

The cannon fire unfolded violently under the starry sky again, hitting the energy shield, and the light was like rain, as if the fireworks of the whole world were roaring together.

At the same time, the dense artillery on the Pioneer, which had been holding back, had also opened fire frantically, and thousands of artillery fire hit the weakly defended fighters like they were blowing up fish in a pond, blowing up one piece after another of the wreckage of the fighters.

Hong Lang drove a high-speed shuttle, under the cover of the fighter plane, rushed to the farthest mothership, countless artillery fire turned on head-on, Hong Lang didn't even dodge, just crazy in the light and rain, like a meteorite smashed into the hull.

Rumble!

A cannon fire finally hit the fighter, tearing the fighter to pieces, and the figure flew out of the flames and fell towards the battleship, while shouting: "Lao Tzu is here!"

The tomahawk pierced through the sky and slashed at the door of the battleship, as if a high-explosive explosion had exploded, and the hatch was blown away, and the flood had leapt in, followed by more adventurers falling on the battleships like suicide squads.
