Chapter 73: War Breaks Out Again (Shamelessly Asking for Recommendations)

As soon as the words fell, the mercenary fleet suddenly changed its formation and flew towards Qi Yiming and his men.

This obvious hostility immediately made Qi Yiming wake up.

"The transport ships should stay back, and the Expedition should move forward to prepare for the enemy..."

The fleets of both sides launched the first round of attacks at a distance of 300km.

Wang Zongsheng had already obtained the appearance characteristics of the Xuefeng and the Redemption, so their main attack targets were placed on the remaining warships.

The first to open fire were the three cruisers in the fleet.

"Attention, all ships, beware of torpedo attacks in the enemy fleet... According to intelligence tips, the enemy torpedoes have short-range jump capabilities, and all frigates that have not entered the main gun range should pay attention to provide air defense cover for the main force of the fleet."

Wang Zongsheng's intelligence on the Xuefeng was very detailed. Although the ancient warship mentioned by Mao Qiming was not in the caravan in front of him, the defensive work that should be done was not sloppy at all.

The burst laser flew across the empty area in the middle of the battlefield in the blink of an eye, and dozens of burst lasers accurately hit the Expedition.

Although the Expedition was attacked, it did not retreat and still stood firmly at the forefront of the battle line.

Wang Shuhua knew that the Redemption would provide armor repairs for him at the appropriate time.

Sure enough, after the enemy's first round of attack, a beam of green light shone on the damaged armor layer of the Expedition, and the nanorobots were working hard to repair the hull.

When the enemy attacked, Qi Yiming and his men were not idle either. The main guns of each ship fired a salvo under Qi Yiming's coordination.

Although the firepower density was not as high as that of the mercenary fleet, its accuracy was higher than that of the enemy.

As soon as a cruiser that was focused by Qi Yiming engaged in the battle, its bow was hit by dozens of bursting lasers.

After the explosion, the cruiser slowed down and slowly retreated to the back row of its own formation for emergency repairs.

Wang Zongsheng just frowned. He was prepared to suffer heavy losses before the battle.

After the first round of attack, he had a clear understanding of the escort force of this caravan.

"Our ship will suppress the enemy ships from the center. Huzi, Lao Liu, you will lead your men to encircle from both wings and form a pincer attack."

As Wang Zongsheng issued the order, the two led their respective teams to encircle Qi Yiming's fleet from both wings.

"You may not be able to kill me even if you concentrate your firepower, and now you are dividing your forces to encircle?" Looking at the enemy fleet encircling his own flanks, Qi Yiming smiled contemptuously.

Qi Yiming, with the intention of hammering you all the way to death no matter how many ways you come, led his fleet to attack the mercenary fleet head-on.

So the Redemption was protected by four warships in the rear, and the transport ship temporarily left the fleet, entered the jump mode and hid in the asteroid belt of this galaxy.

Qi Yiming, who had no worries for the time being, completely let himself go.

"Wang Shuhua, you and the others should play steadily. As long as we can stabilize the front, we will win half of this battle!" Qi Yiming put forward a not-too-high tactical requirement to Wang Shuhua.

Wang Shuhua also understood that under such a disadvantage, they had no other good way except to rely on Qi Yiming's magical ancient warship.

In fact, with the support of the Redemption, although Wang Shuhua and his men looked extremely dangerous, as long as they were properly commanded and moved in a coquettish manner, there was basically no possibility of being sunk.

The pressure of the entire battle was transferred to Qi Yiming.

Qi Yiming certainly would not be afraid of the stage. After telling Wang Shuhua not to be frivolous, Qi Yiming directly commanded the Xuefeng to rush towards the two cruisers in front of him.

Wang Zongsheng looked at the destroyer rushing towards him cautiously.

After carefully comparing the information, he knew that the warship rushing towards him was most likely an ancient warship, and he did not dare to be careless or let the warship get too close to him.

Who knows what strange attack methods this warship has?

Qi Yiming can find weapons that are more suitable for the current situation in the known arsenal to complete the battle according to the different battlefield situations.

In this way, the enemy will have to face a Xuefeng that is changing at any time.

It may be a torpedo attack in the last second, but it will become a main gun attack with a very high attack frequency in the next second.

Although this change is not fatal, it also gives the enemy captain a headache.

Wang Zongsheng is also a little afraid of the ever-changing Xuefeng.

Fortunately, from the beginning of the war to now, the Xuefeng has been using unconventional attack methods, which makes Wang Zongsheng feel a lot more at ease.

But what happened next was unexpected by Wang Zongsheng.

I saw that the destroyer in front of me suddenly changed. The Xuefeng, which was originally just a destroyer, suddenly split into two.

After a series of reorganizations, the separated warships reunited with the Xuefeng again.

The changed Xuefeng became a strange warship with up to five layers of outer armor on the bow.

Wang Zongsheng didn't know what happened, but Qi Yiming knew clearly what the Xuefeng would do next.

The frigate that just separated from the Xuefeng was the Heavy Hammer.

Under the control of her own transformation system, she concentrated the outer armor of her whole body at the bow of her ship.

And at the bow, relying on the support of the main gun barrel, the armor layer formed something like a ram.

Next, the Heavy Hammer was quickly placed at the bow of the Xuefeng under the traction of the tractor beam.

With the ram, what happened next was easy to explain.

Under Wang Zongsheng's stunned expression, the Xuefeng concentrated all its energy to her engine.

The Xuefeng rushed towards the enemy ship more than 200 kilometers away like a wild horse.

Wang Shuhua was also stunned by the change of the Xuefeng.

"What is this for? Is the Xuefeng going to hit the enemy ship?" Wang Shuhua asked Ye Lu with an unbelievable look.

Ye Lu was also shocked at this time. In this era of long-range bombardment of main guns, you can still see a battle using a ram for impact.

At this time, Wang Zongsheng had fallen into a sluggish state, and his crew members were already a little panicked.

After being a mercenary for so many years, this was the first time I saw someone use his warship as a weapon and rush towards his enemy without regard for his life.

The enemy in front of Qi Yiming had given up attacking Wang Shuhua and his men, and all the main guns were aimed at the Xuefeng.

However, the five-layer thick armor on the bow of the Xuefeng ignored the enemy's attack from the beginning to the end.

Even if the Xuefeng was hit, it would soon be repaired with the support of the Redemption.

As the Xuefeng approached the enemy ship at an astonishing speed, it gradually left the maximum range of support that the Redemption could provide.

However, at this time, the Xuefeng had increased the speed of the warship to a terrifying level.

All the burst lasers fired by the enemy ship were left far behind by the speed of the Xuefeng.

Amid the screams of the crowd, the bow of the Xuefeng fiercely pierced into the middle of the hull of the nearest destroyer.
