Chapter 70: Breakthrough

A cruiser of the Mercenary Fleet with three main guns of the Snow Peak, eighteen burst lasers accurately hit thirteen beams at a distance of 300km.

The formation that was still impacting was shaken, and the bow of the cruiser that was hit flashed with a burst of fierce fire, and then the crew was thrown into space.

But the cruiser is a cruiser after all, and even though it has suffered heavy losses, it still leads the fleet to frantically pounce on the Snow Peak.

Soon, a horseshoe-shaped fleet formation surrounded the Snow Peak among the many warships.

"The little ones, they all beat Lao Tzu with all their might! The employer said that as long as we could bring back the fragments of the battleship and the intelligence brain on board, we would still be able to get a huge reward for the mission. In the mercenaries' fleet channel, Captain Jesse roared wildly.

His ship had been heavily damaged by the Snow Peak, but in order not to affect morale, he still led the fleet to surround the Snow Peak in the center of the formation.

The Snow Peak, which was surrounded in the center, was not affected by the encirclement in the slightest, and continued to fire unhurriedly.

In order to improve the efficiency of the artillery bombardment, Qi Yiming even ordered the weapon commander to reduce the charging strength of the main and auxiliary guns, so that the strength of the burst laser was just enough to penetrate the armor layer of the enemy ship, and the firing rate of the main gun was increased to two shots per minute.

And the torpedo launch compartment on the Snow Peak is even more hot.

Although this is an unattended post, the information panel in front of Qi Yiming shows the torpedo assembly situation in detail.

Qi Yiming transferred all the extra energy from the main and secondary gun shots to the torpedo compartment, reducing the original three minutes to make a torpedo to 2 minutes and 23 seconds, plus the torpedo reloading time, the Xuefeng poured fire on the enemy ship at the speed of firing two torpedoes every three minutes.

The Snowpeak's armor integrity has remained stable at 56% thanks to the Defender's strong repair capabilities.

I have to say that the quality of the mercenaries is much stronger than that of the star thieves.

With the absolute superiority in the number of warships, not a single battleship escaped from the battle position without permission.

Even if the ship suffers heavy damage, it will be transferred to the back row of the fleet formation under the cover of teammates for emergency repairs.

So from the start of the war to now, in five minutes, the Snow Peak has only sunk four enemy warships.

And then the Snow Peak has to face attacks from literal directions.

Qi Yiming also discovered that these mercenaries were different from the star thieves, and they were obviously higher than the star thieves in terms of organization and morale.

In terms of mastering the battle formation, the mercenaries are much stronger than the star bandits.

Originally, he wanted to quickly sink the flagship in the enemy formation to deal a major morale blow to the group of mercenaries, but the cruiser cleverly used the formation change to dodge it.

Qi Yiming gritted his teeth and replaced the torpedo in the torpedo compartment with a miniature jump engine on the operation screen in front of him.

And the targets of the two torpedoes were set as a cruiser in the enemy fleet and another destroyer, which looked more active.

Jesse looked at the two torpedoes fired from the Snowpeak, and didn't pay much attention to it.

Although the first torpedo launch of the Snow Peak hit his ship and another destroyer.

The destroyer was torpedoed to pieces, and Jesse's ship, if not lucky, would have been killed by the first attack of the Snow Peak.

This time, we have learned a lesson, and of course, we are particularly confident in dealing with it.

Jesse organized more than a dozen of his warships to fire torpedoes at the same time, hoping to intercept the two torpedoes flying towards their fleet with a dense barrage of bullets.

But a strange scene happened, and the torpedo, which was originally flying fast, suddenly disappeared into the airspace in front of them.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the torpedo appeared on the battlefield again.

This time, the location was only 5 km away from the target that the two torpedoes were going to attack.

The mercenaries' battleships didn't have time to adjust their secondary gun muzzles, and could only watch as the two torpedoes burrowed into their flagship and a destroyer not far from the flagship.

The next second was a violent explosion of fire, which lit up almost the entire battlefield.

Jesse knew that it was impossible to intercept the torpedo when it appeared at a distance of 5km from his ship, and decisively gave the order for the flagship.

Luckily for him, the aftermath of the explosion only pushed his survival pod away from the battlefield and was eventually rescued by a friendly ship.

Most of the rescue pods were pierced by scattered fragments of the battleship, and of course none of the people hiding inside escaped death.

Jesse arrives on the bridge of a friendly ship in embarrassment, and after re-establishing command through internal fleet communications, he calms the mood of the captains of each ship.

However, the sinking of Jesse's own ship caused a considerable gap in the mercenary's formation, and the Snow Peak saw the opportunity to break out of the mercenary's horseshoe formation.

From the beginning of the battle, the Snowy Peak put on a desperate posture, which caused a certain misleading attitude to Jesse.

Thinking that the captain of the target warship has lost all hope of survival knowing that he has been surrounded by a large number of mercenaries, Jesse is determined to fight his way when he encounters his own fleet.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yiming was just bluffing, and the purpose was to attract Jesse's fleet to all the pressures.

And Jesse lived up to expectations and really pressed up with his own fleet.

Qi Yiming would have allocated most of the energy inside the Xuefeng to the engine after the first round of attacks, so that he could quickly reach the jump bridge.

However, I didn't expect the Snow Peak to miss the first round of attack, and although the torpedo hit the cruiser, it only made a big hole in the huge hull of the cruiser and did not cause substantial damage.

The cruiser only threw a lot of equipment and personnel into space, but continued to lead the fleet to attack him.

The torpedo attack was sudden, powerful and powerful, the first wave of attack was not successful, and the second attack was easily intercepted by the concentrated fire of the local fleet.

In desperation, Qi Yiming could only use a few miniature jump engines.

Again increase the suddenness of the torpedo attack.

The second torpedo attack did not disappoint Qi Yiming.

Two torpedoes, which suddenly disappeared and then reappeared, instantly sank the already badly damaged cruiser and a destroyer next to the cruiser, tearing a gaping hole in the enemy fleet.

Qi Yiming saw the opportunity and ordered the Snow Peak to move forward at full speed, and with the excess energy supply, the engine provided strong thrust for the Snow Peak.

Under the stunned gaze of the mercenaries, the Snow Peak rushed towards the jumping bridge at a speed that was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Jesse could only yell feebly in the Fleet Channel: "Stop that battleship...... Stop ......"

But everything happened so fast that there was no chance for everyone to reflect, and the Snow Peak had already broken out of their encirclement.

By the time Jesse organized the fleet to launch a pursuit, the Snow Peak had already arrived near the jumping bridge.

Qi Yiming glanced at the battlefield situation map, and smiled contemptuously at the corner of his mouth: "Navigator, start the bridge jumping...... Let's get out of here! ”
