Chapter 271: short artillery battle

Four teams of Marines were ordered to charge into the crowd. As they squeezed out, they loudly repelled those around them, while being careful not to push the crowd down and cause chaos.

However, they still rushed forward quickly, the ordinary people around couldn't push the power armor at all, and the marines didn't fight against the strength of the entire crowd, they just concentrated in one direction and tore the crowd apart.

Gradually, a green passage appeared among the crowd.

Blade sent another team of marines to the other end of the green passage to maintain order and disperse irrelevant personnel.

After a while, the first batch of women and children came running from the opposite side of the green passage.

There was joy and gratitude in their eyes, and they kept saying thank you as they ran past the marines.

Blade could see a little girl in her mother's arms throwing a small yellow flower over the head of a marine.

The evacuation of each colony is in progress, and outside of Jupiter, the Emperor Gang fleet has been supplemented by two patrol fleets. Compared with the main fleet, the patrol fleet of the ancient legion is only one-fifth in size. Moreover, fleet commanders are generally quasi-masters, without the participation of ape-man masters.

However, after receiving these supports, Emperor Gang's confidence greatly increased, and he directly rushed into the range of the combined fleet, and the two sides started an artillery battle.

The artillery battles between the main fleets of the solar system are basically about 100,000 kilometers apart. Although the attenuation distance of the laser cannon is more than a million kilometers, the targeting system does not have this accuracy. 100,000 kilometers is the limit of the targeting system.

Of course, even if you aim at the opponent, you can't say that you can definitely hit it. Since the laser light has to travel a distance of 100,000 kilometers, as long as the angle of launch is one-thousandth of a degree different, there will be an error of almost one kilometer when it reaches the target. And this error has exceeded the hull length of the largest battleship in the solar system.

What's more, warships are all manned by people, not a rock that can only be beaten.

Human and ape warships are equipped with radar locking and early warning systems. Once they are locked by the enemy's weapon system, they have time to take emergency evasive actions.

Because of such various factors, it is not an easy task to accurately hit the enemy in the universe.

At this time, on the bridge of No. 1 battleship, the piercing sirens suddenly blared, and the red lights flickered on and off, dyeing the entire bridge a blood-like color.

"Captain, we are locked!" A staff officer reported to Howard loudly.

"The left jet is activated, emergency evasion!" Howard sat on the captain's seat calmly, speaking in an unusually calm voice, as if he didn't care about his own battleship being locked.

Several jets on the left side of the No. 1 ship erupted at full power at the same time. Pushing the battleship to the right, almost at the same time, two fifth-level light beams passed by the side of the battleship and shot into the void of space. (I also know that there is no dust in the universe, light does not scatter, and you can't see it, but invisible battles are really meaningless, readers should just see it.)

Howard patted the armrest, and said indifferently: "Small, find the battleship attacking us, pass the coordinates to the second and third ships, prepare for joint bombardment, and hit them back hard!"

Yang Ying smiled slightly, rubbed his hands together, and began to operate on the operating table. His hands moved quickly, turning into rows of afterimages.

Since the captain's seat was occupied by Howard, Yang Ying had been sitting in the main gunner's seat, and at the same time, replaced the gunner's position.

There are very few warships that can have a gunner at the level of a high-ranking psychic.

The thinking ability of Nenenshi. The reaction speed and hands-on ability are all above ordinary people, so the ability to operate weapons is much higher than ordinary people, but the number is too small, and it is too incompetent to be a gunner.

Rows of data flashed across the light screen in front of Yang Ying. His expression was focused, his eyes swiped left and right, and he memorized each row of data in his heart.

Through the anti-tracking of the radar locking and early warning system, Yang Ying found the ape-man warship that fired at them. It was a Tyrannosaurus rex-class heavy cruiser in the patrol fleet. It had six fifth-level laser guns, two more than the No. 1 ship. .

This Tyrannosaurus rex appeared on the light screen in front of Yang Ying. There was a circle of light on the ship. Except for the Tyrannosaurus rex, there were several layers of geometric aiming figures in the center of the light screen, and there were some scales around it for people's reference.

There is a connecting line in the center of the light screen connected to Tyrannosaurus rex, and there is a parameter marking the length of the connecting line. At this time, this connecting line is constantly shortening, showing the progress of the aiming process.

Suddenly, the harsh siren sounded again, and the Tyrannosaurus rex locked them again.

"The jet at the bottom is activated, emergency evasion!" Howard shouted immediately.

Several columns of air spewed out from the bottom of No. 1 ship, and immediately went up to avoid this wave of attacks.

The sudden change of direction of the battleship disrupted Yang Ying's steps of locking on to the enemy, making the connection a lot longer, but he quickly corrected it, a few seconds later. The Tyrannosaurus rex was locked in the aiming frame in the center of the light screen, and the brightness of the lines in the entire light screen doubled immediately.

While locking, Yang Ying shouted: "The lock is complete!"

"Fire!" Howard shouted almost at the same time.

Yang Ying pressed the two green launch buttons, and the muzzles of two of the main guns of the No. 1 ship lit up. After a second of energy gathering, two bright beams were emitted to attack the target.

However, within a second or so, the Tyrannosaurus rex also reacted and changed direction urgently, and the beam of the No. 1 ship did not hit.

Ship No. 2 and Ship No. 3 also opened fire a little later, firing a total of four light beams towards the opposite side. The Tyrannosaurus Rex on the opposite side changed direction three times in a few seconds, avoiding most of the enemies. However, it was brushed aside by a beam from the No. 2 ship, losing two main guns and several secondary guns.

It would be good if the first round of attack could reach the edge, Yang Ying nodded and continued to operate.

The two firing buttons he just pressed had turned red, which meant that the main gun was being prepared and could not be fired.

The firing of the main gun needs to go through charging, energy gathering, and firing. During the process of cooling down and recharging, the interval between the two firings is about 30 seconds.

Originally, the main guns of these three face-saving warships could not achieve this firing frequency. They were originally warships a generation or two behind, and their laser cannon technology was more than ten years ago.

When Yang Ying's mercenary group got them, they had to wait at least a minute to fire one cannon before firing the next one. Fortunately, the SCVs were highly skilled and changed these main cannons again and again. upgraded to what it is today.

The frequency of a shot every thirty seconds is even better than the most advanced fifth-level cannon in the solar system.

Yang Ying turned his hands on the operating table into an afterimage, and the light screen put the Tyrannosaurus Rex in again. After the Tyrannosaurus Rex was caught by the aiming frame, Yang Ying immediately shouted: "Lock again!"

"Fire!" Howard said.

Yang Ying instantly pressed the other two launch buttons, and the two main cannons immediately began to gather energy, the muzzles of the guns glowed, and two bright beams of light were sent to the opposite side again.

The No. 2 and No. 3 ships did not follow suit, and their main gunners were not as quick as Yang Ying, and they hadn't locked the opponent again yet.

The two beams of light from the No. 1 ship crossed the space in an instant, and hit the head of the Tyrannosaurus rex fiercely!

This time, although the Tyrannosaurus rex made an evasive movement, this made the beam hit more accurately.

Originally, due to subtle angle factors, the beam emitted by the No. 1 ship crossed a distance of 100,000 kilometers and deviated slightly from the place where the Tyrannosaurus Rex was. Hit the beam.

It has to be said that the battlefield is ever-changing, and anything can happen.

Immediately afterwards, the No. 2 ship and the No. 3 ship also locked on the seriously injured Tyrannosaurus rex. Four beams were sent over, one missed, and the remaining three all hit the Tyrannosaurus rex. Some other warships in the joint fleet also found the Tyrannosaurus rex. The dragon's decline made the move of beating the dog in the water.

In an instant, a series of light beams bombarded the Tyrannosaurus rex one after another. Within half a minute, the Tyrannosaurus rex was turned into cosmic trash.

On a Dragon King-class battle cruiser, Emperor Gang saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex being blown up on the screen, pressed the armrest, and stood up: "How is the situation of the Second Flying Wing?"

An ape-man staff member called in the communication channel for a while, shook his head and said: "No, all the teams have been intercepted by humans. There are too many human fighters. They have lost 70% of their numbers now, and the rest are impossible to rush through. Human defense, to raid those colonies."

The deputy captain was very dissatisfied, and asked loudly: "Where is the captain? He is a master at the upper level, can't he beat the human defense?"

"The captain has lost contact with us just now, and may have been killed by humans." The staff officer replied.

"Bastard, human beings have very few Psychics. Could it be that his luck is so bad that he raided a colony and met a human being who is stronger than him!"

The deputy captain was furious and punched the console. Fortunately, he still remembered that this was his own warship, so he restrained his strength.

Emperor Gang raised his hand to stop the vice-captain from complaining, his eyes were stern, and he said, "It's still too small to underestimate these human beings, and they actually blocked the breakthrough of the Second Flying Squadron. Let's retreat first!"

The deputy captain said in shock: "Commander, we haven't lost yet, so we can send the First Flying Squadron to try. , and the joint captain has the strength of a quasi-master, who can let them carry nuclear bombs to attack those human colonies, kill all the civilians, and cause huge chaos!"

"What good is this for us?" Emperor Gang didn't care about the deputy captain's proposal, "What we need is to delay this human joint fleet here to buy time for the arrival of the backup troops. Wait for our people to arrive If they are all ready, we will eat them in one bite, and once again severely damage the human resistance. The strategic significance of human civilians is worthless compared to the joint fleet! Even if we blow up the colony to ruins, we are just letting the human fleet get rid of the burden. Just finish the task ahead of time."

The deputy captain suddenly understood, bowed his head and said, "Sorry, Lord Gangdi, I was too impulsive."

Emperor Gang nodded, shook his cloak, hurriedly returned to the command seat, and said: "Even if the civilians are all withdrawn to the space city, it is good for us. The space city is just a fragile shell. It will explode. If the United Fleet wants to protect the space city, it will not be able to exert its maximum strength, and the safety of civilians must be taken into account in every move. We just need to wait, and the balance of victory and defeat will be tilted towards us."

"Follow the order!" The deputy captain was overjoyed, turned around and shouted to the ape-man staff, "The commander has orders, retreat!" (!)
