Chapter 47: The Raid
After the military discussion, everyone split up and began to prepare.
Hao Chenqi and his wife also knew at this time that they would command the Redemption to accompany Zheng Hu.
"Remember your mission, to provide strong support to the fleet, and the Redemption must not rush to the front of the fleet." Qi Yiming looked at the couple sternly.
Hao Chenqi nodded: "Please rest assured, captain, we know what to do." ”
"Well, I have already told Zheng Hu that he will take special care of you."
Qi Yiming was not afraid that Zheng Hu would sell the Redemption Number, because Zheng Hu clearly knew that if he deliberately sold the Redemption Number, Qi Yiming would definitely let their Zheng family die before leaving the Xuanwu Star Domain.
In addition, the Redemption's powerful ability to repair armor after the war will also prompt Zheng Hu to protect the Redemption.
According to the plan, Zheng Hu would lead a full fleet and the Salvation to set off first.
Qi Yiming would set off in half a day and swooped straight to the border of the Xuanwu Star Domain from the other direction.
Two days later, Zheng Hu will come into contact with the vanguard of the Imperial fleet, and after a little contact with the other party, Zheng Hu will retreat with the fleet to the Zheng family's original territory.
Zheng Hu's return to the Zheng family's territory is considered to be his home turf, and he will use his knowledge of the environment in the galaxy to take the imperial fleet around in circles to buy time for Qi Yiming to win the bridge jump.
The plan went smoothly, and after the imperial fleet encountered Zheng Hu's fleet, the main fleet followed Zheng Hu and chased towards the Zheng family's territory.
And Qi Yiming had quietly led the fleet to the vicinity of the jumping bridge at this time.
Although the commander of the Imperial fleet took advantage of the advantages of his own warships, he also handled the details well.
Qi Yiming looked at the enemy defense fleet near the jumping bridge, and the commander of the imperial fleet was obviously also guarding against the Xuanwu Federation cutting off his supply line.
With the Imperial fleet gaining the upper hand, the Imperial side left half of the fleet to guard the jumping bridge.
It is not difficult for Qi Yiming to destroy this guard fleet, the problem is that he completely annihilates this fleet, and not a single battleship can let the other party slip away.
Because a large number of transport ships were followed behind Qi Yiming's fleet, waiting for Qi Yiming to take the jump bridge, and then arrange a defense line near the jump bridge.
If a battleship escapes and brings the news of the loss of the bridge to the commander of the Empire.
At the speed of the Imperial fleet, it will appear in the border system in less than three days.
At that time, the defense line had not yet been established, and if the imperial side sent reinforcements from the mainland, the situation would not be unimaginable.
Qi Yiming made a little arrangement and directly led the fleet to kill it.
The Imperial garrison fleet also greeted Qi Yiming when it discovered it, which made Qi Yiming feel relieved.
"It seems that the commanders of the Imperial fleet at all levels already have the idea ......of underestimating the enemy," Qi Yiming said to Fang Min in the fleet channel.
Fang Min, as the former elder of the Wang family, had been depressed for a while because of the failure of the sneak attack on the Zheng family, if it wasn't for Qi Yiming to turn the tide, he would probably have committed suicide with guilt at this time.
Therefore, he was also grateful to Qi Yiming, and he carried out Qi Yiming's orders meticulously along the way.
As a veteran, Fang Min also saw the underestimation of the commander of the Imperial Fleet.
It stands to reason that guarding the bridge jump is the first sequence of missions of the Imperial fleet, and they can't leave the bridge jump alone and take the initiative to meet it without special circumstances.
"Since you have underestimated the enemy, you have to pay the corresponding price......" Qi Yiming ordered the fleet to continue forward.
When the enemy entered the range of the Snow Peak's main gun, Qi Yiming did not give the order for the Snow Peak to open fire.
Instead, he continued to move forward with the fleet, and if Qi Yiming wanted to completely annihilate this garrison fleet, he had to take it by surprise.
The fleets of the Random Xuanwu Federation fought the Imperial fleets according to the normal rules of engagement.
After a few rounds of missiles, the Xuanwu Federation hesitated to be a monkey version of the battleship, and the losses were relatively large.
One of the three cruisers in the fleet was heavily damaged and withdrew from the battle sequence, and the already small destroyers also lost seven.
There were only 2 frigates left after two rounds of attacks by the Empire.
The losses on the Imperial side were much lighter, with only 3 frigates taking too much damage and being sunk.
Qi Yiming didn't blink his eyes in the face of such a serious loss, and continued to order the fleet to assault.
Many wrecks of warships were left on the route of their assault, and at this time, rescue pods were being fired outwards from various wreckage.
Qi Yiming knew that if the Xuefeng didn't fire again, his fleet could collapse at any time.
HE LOOKED AT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US AND THE ENEMY, 273KM......
It has entered the optimal range of the secondary gun of the Snow Peak......
Qi Yiming did not hesitate, and directly ordered the Xuefeng to activate all the power furnaces in the ship, and the surging energy was continuously injected into the energy slots of the Xuefeng's various weapons through the pipeline, waiting to be stimulated.
The performance of the Snow Peak did not disappoint everyone, and the dense barrage of barrage came in front of the Imperial fleet in an instant.
Before the commander of the Imperial fleet could figure out what was going on, explosions erupted in his own fleet.
The main combat force of the Imperial side, the 4 cruisers, was taken care of by the main guns of the Snow Peak.
Fueled by an abundant energy supply, the Snowpeak delivered a killing feast to the Imperial fleet with two salvos per minute.
By the time the captains of the four cruisers of the empire reacted, their battleships had lost their chance to escape.
The captains watched in a desperate roar as their ships were covered in a barrage of barrage from the Snow Peak.
They didn't even have a chance to send out a distress signal before the ship sank.
The fleet of the Xuanwu Federation, under the leadership of Qi Yiming, took down the garrison fleet of the empire without any suspense.
Although the losses were heavy, Qi Yiming had to make this sacrifice in order to achieve the combat goal.
At this time, Qi Yiming didn't have time to think about these issues at all, and after clearing out the remnants of the enemy, he quickly contacted the transport fleet that was following them.
Half an hour later, a huge transport fleet appeared in Qi Yiming's eyes.
In command of this transport fleet is Wang Dong, who has a unique talent for organizational engineering, and even the most complex engineering operations will be carried out in an orderly manner under his dispatch.
The transport fleet, having reached the vicinity of the jump bridge, went straight to the operation.
A large number of railgun parts were pulled out of the transport's belly, and the engineers controlled the small engineering ship to quickly position Qi Yiming in the position they had planned in advance.
This time, the families of the Xuanwu Federation have made a bloody investment and taken out all the material reserves that can be taken out.
A full 20 railguns were placed near the bridge in three directions, and as long as a fleet jumped in, the railguns in any direction could easily attack enemy warships.
In addition, the battleship that has just escaped the jump mode will have a few seconds of energy disorder, and in these few seconds, as long as the battleship is slightly attacked, the internal energy of the battleship will be out of control, and the battleship will be torn to pieces by the violent energy flow in an instant.
Watching Wang Dong advance the progress of the project in an orderly manner, Qi Yiming looked at the direction of the Zheng family's territory worriedly.
He was worried that Zheng Hu would be captured by the Empire's main fleet before his side could complete his mission, and then everything he had done here would be in vain.
