Chapter 165 Harassment (Part 2)
Just a few seconds after the Rex fleet was ready for battle, a fleet of ten people, including cruisers and frigates, landed not far from them.
After seeing the iconic spikes on the fleet warships and the Sasha icon on the hull, Rex ordered to open fire without hesitation.
So the fleet was covered by firepower as soon as it landed, and the sky-high lasers rushed into the Sasha fleet, setting off a series of violent explosions.
Looking at the Sasha fleet that was suppressed by the firepower of his fleet and could not move, Rex was very happy. He thought that this mission would be fruitless, but he didn't expect these guys to give him military merits so considerately. How could he not be happy?
That's right, the Sasha squadron in front of him only had two cruisers and six frigates, while his garrison fleet had a full ten cruisers and thirty frigates, not to mention the battleship he was driving!
With such a big gap in strength, what else could it be if it wasn't a free military merit?
"Captain, can we each get a few hundred points of merit this time?"
After all, there are too many people coming this time, and there are only so many enemies. If we really divide it, each person can only get a few hundred points at most.
But according to the value of Dasaszo's merit, these hundreds of points are not a small amount!
Not to mention that these merits seem to be picked up for free.
"Don't worry, you will get a lot."
Rex replied happily. After all, as a captain of the fleet, he can also get a lot of merit from this war, which is one step closer to his goal of exchanging for a title.
But before everyone was happy, they saw that the Sasha fleet that they suppressed finally made a move. The six witch-class frigates started their engines and rushed towards them before the frigates they used to intercept arrived, instead of running away.
Without Rex's orders, the frigates of both sides reached the electronic interference distance. Both sides put jump scrambling and stagnation beams on each other. After the frigates of Rex's fleet were put on electronic warfare, the speed was instantly limited to a very low amount, while these Sasha's frigates continued to maintain a high speed as if they were not affected.
The biggest advantage of frigates is the low radius and high speed brought by their small size. Once the speed is limited, the fragile body of the frigate is simply a target. Therefore, within ten seconds of the contact between the frigates of both sides, the six Dasaszo frigates targeted by the Sasha frigate were destroyed by high firepower, and even the escape pods were no exception.
Looking at the six frigates of his fleet that were destroyed, Rex was shocked and quickly issued orders to the remaining frigates.
"Where is the jump scrambler? Turn off the micro jump propulsion of the Sasha frigate!"
Looking at the six Sasha frigates, which were faster than his own frigates, Rex quickly gave the order. Otherwise, with such a high speed and angular velocity, his fleet could not hurt it!
But after his own frigates desperately put jump scramblers on the Sasha frigates, they found that the speed of the Sasha frigate was not affected at all, and it still maintained such a high speed, while his own frigates were forced to turn off the micro jump propulsion after being interfered by the jump scrambler, causing the speed to drop, and then even the stagnation beam was unlocked, which surprised them.
"Are these frigates equipped with afterburners?"
Rex was a little surprised and confused.
Because only the afterburner will not be forced to shut down by the jump scrambler like the micro jump propulsion.
Logically speaking, in order to pursue high speed, the frigates are equipped with micro-jump propulsion, because this can better play the speed advantage of the frigate, while the afterburner takes up too much energy grid, and the propulsion is not as high as the micro-jump propulsion, not to mention that because of the frigate's own hull, there are not many energy grids.
But this Sasha warship is such a wonder that uses the afterburner to the extreme.
The design of the hull of this Sasha warship is born for the afterburner, and it can give full play to the propulsion of the afterburner, and can make the afterburner more than 200% efficient, so facing these frigates using micro-jump propulsion is a crushing blow.
It is also that Shiman has not really unlocked Sasha's warship technology, otherwise Chelm Solan will let them know what is the combination of extreme firepower and extreme speed!
Seeing that the losses of their own frigates are getting more and more serious, Rex and others also reacted that this Sasha fleet is not a soft persimmon, but a hard one!
Rex quickly changed his tactics and ordered:
"Five people in a team, overload the stasis beam to slow down these damn things, and overload the cruisers with firepower. We must keep this fleet for me!"
In general, these are just frigates. As long as their speed is reduced to make the attack easier to hit and concentrated, they can still win.
It turns out that Rex's tactics are still very effective.
After the speed of three of the Sasha frigates was limited by the stagnation beam, the other friendly forces that had not yet caught up with the target also put on the stagnation beam, reducing the target's speed to an extreme, and the attacks of the other cruisers were finally able to hit the target with all their strength, which finally made the shields of the three frigates begin to decline.
While watching the three frigates whose shields began to decline, Rex's face did not show any joy. There was no other reason. The shields of these warships were simply not what a frigate should have. The resistance and shield volume were terribly high compared to the same type of frigates.
If you don't look at the size, Rex would believe that this was a cruiser!
But as the attack continued, after paying the price of nine frigates, the shields of the three Sasha frigates finally reached a dangerous level, and he finally let go of his heart.
But after several energy beams were connected from the Sasha cruiser to the three attacked frigates, the shields of the three frigates were restored to their original state within just three seconds.
Logistics ship!!!
Before he could see the bad news and prepare to retreat, the other three Sasha frigates had already circled around him and put his battleship on the jump scrambler.
"It's over!"
At this time, Rex frantically attacked the three Sasha frigates around him. Both the main guns and the secondary guns were used, but there was no way to deal with the three Sasha frigates with high angular velocity. The attack was at most a light graze, not to mention that there were two logistics cruisers remotely repairing them!
The maintenance chain of the two cruiser-class logistics ships made Rex lose the desire to attack. He had to order his teammates to attack the three Sashas that entangled him so that he could get away, but under the protection of the two powerful logistics ships, it was self-evident to take over.
Half an hour later, the Sasha Squadron had not suffered any casualties, but the Dasaszo garrison fleet on the battlefield was left with only Rex's battleships and five cruisers, and the frigates were all destroyed. After seeing that the remaining warships on his side were entangled, Rex looked at the various equipment on his warship that had been completely damaged due to long-term overloading, and closed his eyes resignedly, no longer struggling.
As the other five cruisers were destroyed one after another, and even the space capsule was instantly locked and destroyed, Rex's battleship also followed the path of his teammates in front, and the battle returned to calm after a violent explosion.
A few seconds after the battle ended, an industrial ship jumped out of the stealth state in the subspace, quickly loaded all the wreckage of the warships on the battlefield into the ship's hold, and then with the opening of a wormhole, the Sasha fleet drilled in and disappeared on the spot.
After more than ten minutes, the Dasaszo fleet that came to support from other galaxies finally arrived late
