Chapter 275 Battle of Betales (I)
Blood Wei III has not come out of the ancient ruins yet, and because of the special nature of the ancient ruins, he cannot be contacted.
So facing the attack of the two camps, only Lao Qian can command in person.
Michael Blake looked at the projection of the military fortress hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, and couldn't help but touch his already sparse hair.
"Dreadnought mixed fleet?"
"It's not easy to deal with!"
Outside the military fortress, a long and huge warship was quietly parked.
And around these dreadnoughts, there were dozens of battleships and other special ships.
Michael Blake brought only the vanguard this time, three Exorcist-class heavy assault cruiser fleets, and the dreadnought fleet was still on the way.
So looking at the dreadnought mixed fleet of the Betales Federation, it suddenly felt a bit tricky.
"Commander-in-chief, do you want me to go and test the opponent's strength first?"
A fleet commander took the initiative to stand up and ask for battle.
Although this dreadnought mixed fleet is powerful, it is not very maneuverable on the battlefield because of the battle module of the dreadnought.
So even if you can't win, you can quickly get away, as long as you don't go deep into the range of the dreadnought.
"Okay, you take your fleet to swim outside the range of the dreadnought, don't go deep!"
Michael Blake ordered immediately.
After all, it's not a good thing to drag it on like this. If Frederick McKee breaks through the defense line first and gets the ancient ruins, it will be a big deal.
"Yes!"
Then, an Exorcist-class main fleet slowly approached the Betales military fortress in a tactical formation.
Seeing the fleet of the Justice Order like this, Lao Qian couldn't help shaking his head.
"It's been so many years, why is this little guy still like this, without any progress."
Michael Blake was also highly expected by Lao Qian and was also Lao Qian's proud student. At the Imperial University, he and Frederick McKee were called: Double Walls.
Compared with Frederick McKee's decisive and aggressive style, Michael Blake's style of play is more stable.
And this stability also makes Michael Blake's grasp of the battlefield situation very terrifying.
But!
Although being stable rarely makes mistakes, it also means that once the opponent seizes the opportunity, the price will be even more severe.
So in the fight between Michael Blake and Frederick McKee, the two have two styles of command, but most of them can only be tied.
Although the command styles are different, they are all taught by the same master, and the moves cannot be broken!
Lao Qian stood in the combat command room, looking at the approaching enemy, with a smile on his face as always.
But the orders were issued in an orderly manner:
"Order the first mixed fleet to stay put, not to take the initiative to attack, and wait for the enemy fleet to enter the 10,000-kilometer attack range."
During this period of time, the battle between the justice order and the freedom camp has allowed Lao Qian to understand the basic data of the main battleships of the two camps.
The laser cannons equipped on the War Demon-class heavy assault cruisers of the Freedom Camp are powerful, but decay quickly. The best attack range is 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers, and the maximum range is 5,000 kilometers.
The Exorcist-class of the Justice Order has a longer range, but weaker power, with an optimal range of 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers and a maximum attack range of 10,000 kilometers.
The Hell Angel-class battleships currently fully equipped by the Betales Federation are equipped with super pulse laser cannons, which can change the attack range by replacing radio frequency crystals.
As long as the crystals are flexibly replaced, the range is not inferior to the Exorcist-class, and the melee power is not inferior to the War Demon-class.
More importantly, the heavy defense brought by the hull of the Hell Angel-class battleship is not comparable to that of the cruiser!
Whether it is a long-range attack or a close combat, the Hell Angel-class is fearless.
The Exorcist-class heavy assault cruiser fleet soon arrived 100,000 kilometers away from the Betales military fortress.
If this distance is closer, it will be the attack range of the Iron Wall-class military fortress.
But the fleet of the Betales Federation just watched them quietly, motionless.
Michael Blake was not surprised by this, and he had never thought of provoking the fleet of the Betales Federation to leave the defense range of the military fortress.
Because he knew that his old money would never make such a low-level mistake. At the beginning, his family was hijacked by pirates and he just asked to let them go.
Even with the approval of Blood Wei III, Old Qian still personally destroyed the spacecraft carrying his family in order to recapture the first star of Betales and prevent thousands of warship pilots and hundreds of thousands of ground troops in space from sacrificing in vain.
And that was the second time that the flower of the empire cried since the collapse of the empire...
So for this person, provocation and seduction are ridiculous tricks, and normal temptation is better.
"The fleet will be divided into groups, separate operations, conduct firepower reconnaissance, and don't fight!"
These warships of the Betales Federation, except for the Hell Angel class, have relevant data, but Michael Blake has never seen this dreadnought.
Therefore, it is necessary to conduct firepower reconnaissance and test the dreadnought, otherwise it will suffer a great loss if it is caught off guard.
The fleet of Justice Order is getting closer and closer, and Lao Qian's smile is getting brighter and brighter, and there is a little cold light in his eyes.
At 90,000 kilometers, the military fortress began to use defensive weapons to attack, and the fleet began to suffer losses, but not seriously.
At 50,000 kilometers, the engine of the Betales fleet slowly started, and the bow began to face.
At 30,000 kilometers, the God-Revelation-class dreadnought began to use the fire control system to lock the target, and the muzzle was drawn but not fired.
At 20,000 kilometers, the Exorcist-class fleet began to slow down and circle.
Because this distance is already very dangerous for them, if it is closer, they will not be able to carry out effective tactical maneuvers in the face of the dreadnought's attack unless they continue to get closer.
"Keep moving forward, and attack directly after entering the attack range!"
Michael Blake gave the order expressionlessly.
Then the Exorcist fleet gritted its teeth and started the thrusters. The fleet's speed soared and soon entered the range of 10,000 kilometers. Then, relying on the range advantage of the Exorcist, it took the lead in launching an attack.
Looking at the Justice Order fleet that launched the attack, Lao Qian smiled faintly.
"Order, close the net!"
Then, dozens of light and heavy interceptors of various types of the Betales Federation jumped out of the stealth state of the subspace.
Under the positioning sharing of the command ship's combat probe, it directly rushed into the Justice Order fleet, and one by one, the jump interference force field and deceleration force field enveloped its fleet.
Then, a 30-ship Xiujin class quickly found its target, and several stagnation beams were instantly put on it, and then the Hell Angel-class battleship and the God-indicating class dreadnought began to attack.
As long as the Justice Order warship was restricted by the deceleration limit, a God-indicating class dreadnought would immediately open fire on it, and every attack could hit an Exorcist class so hard that it had to activate assault damage control to save its life.
Then, after the assault damage control effect ended, it instantly turned into fireworks.
Michael Blake's mouth twitched slightly.
"Flagship cannon..."
Emm, sorry for what I said, I'll kneel down first.
I was wrong!!!
