Chapter 407 Ambush 2

Under normal circumstances, large fleets will also move in batches to perform cluster jumps.

According to Wilson's original wishful thinking, the enemy's warships should jump over in batches, and they will be given away for free.

In order to capture as many relatively intact enemy warships as possible, rather than directly bombing the enemy into wreckage from a distance, he also deliberately took out the latest tactics he had studied for a long time.

The ray towers on the outer fungal blanket of the Zerg warships were disintegrated and separated, and distributed over a large area to form a temporary floating artillery array encirclement network.

Such a dense and high-intensity firepower network, even if it is difficult to output for a long time.

It is enough to cause a heavy blow to the enemy without dead ends in a short period of time. While preventing the enemy from escaping, it can also more easily destroy the enemy's morale and force the enemy to surrender quickly.

Who would have thought that as soon as the new tactics were put forward, he would encounter an enemy commander who did not follow the usual path.

The entire fleet was packed together and stuffed into his trap. The Zerg fleet, which lost its absolute numerical advantage, gave the opponent the possibility of breaking through.

For Wilson, although it was not a disaster, he would have to pay a greater loss in the battle to achieve the expected fruitful results.

"Damn it, why don't you follow the script..., Gulu..."

Seeing this situation, Wilson cursed habitually, forgetting that he had already replaced a new body and was now soaking in nutrient solution.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the thick special nutrient solution flowed down his esophagus and poured into his stomach, which barely comforted his injured heart.

……………………

In the flagship of the alien fleet, Commander Myne, who had received the warning from the vanguard in advance.

After receiving the information that the frigate formation had been completely wiped out, the other party not only did not leave, but also intended to ambush them in the jump target area.

He chose without hesitation, and the entire fleet jumped over at the same time.

As soon as they arrived at the target location, before they had time to observe the surrounding situation, Myne had already begun to issue orders:

"The fleet quickly spreads out to both wings, and before the protective light film runs out of energy and completely shrinks and dissipates, try to expand the array surface as much as possible to make way for the trajectory."

"All warships' main guns charge in advance, fire control radars run at full power, and prepare for salvo fire............."

A loud and clear voice kept coming out of Myne's mouth, and one command after another was quickly transmitted to the entire fleet with the efficient cooperation of the entire bridge personnel.

Although the protective light film at the jump point can be regarded as a strong magnetic field shield to protect its own side, the space ripples inside it will also greatly interfere with the accuracy and power of ship-borne energy weapons.

Whether it is a particle beam or a high-energy ray, firing in this environment is an extremely inefficient approach.

After the jump is completed, the void folds caused will be quickly flattened in a short period of time under the effect of the space self-healing characteristics, and this temporary protective shield will also quickly dissipate.

Myne's approach was the standard tactical thinking for large-scale jumps. He wanted to take advantage of this short period of relative safety to complete the fleet's formation arrangement.

Unfortunately, the enemy that Myne encountered today did not give him enough time to arrange.

Before Myne had finished issuing combat orders, several exclamations were heard in front of the operating table inside the bridge.

The operator in charge of the monitoring equipment spoke first, reporting with a trembling voice, explaining the reason for his exclamation.

"Commander, a large amount of energy reaction was suddenly detected in the surrounding airspace, and the energy level is rising rapidly!"

Hearing this answer, Myne frowned suddenly. He was not panicked at all, and his voice was still steady and clear.

"Lock the location of the energy source and observe..."

Before he finished speaking, several observation pictures had been cut out of the projection light curtain hanging from the dome.

It was not that the bridge operators were efficient, but that the number of these strange energy sources was so large that there was no need to observe them deliberately.

After the radar data was analyzed by the battleship's optical computer, it was connected to the situation displayed by the three-dimensional star map, causing the bridge to fall into a dead silence instantly.

According to the star map, these tens of millions of energy sources have surrounded their own fleet.

No matter how naive and optimistic the crew is, they can't deceive themselves and say that these energy sources have nothing to do with the enemy fleet.

Through the real scene, Myne looked at the disgusting purple-red fungal blankets with a stiff face, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"What on earth is this...?"

Before Myne could figure it out, the block fungal blankets that almost covered the entire airspace had undergone drastic changes.

The edges of each fungal blanket were curling and shrinking, and the originally swollen and full roots were also shriveled and withered.

A large amount of nutrients and energy were converging towards the center of each fungal blanket.

There were a large number of red-eyed barnacles stacked into towers again.

"Fire!"

As Wilson gave orders in the consciousness network.

Countless scarlet blood pupils opened on the top of the red-eyed barnacles, and high-energy rays with dark red light blasted towards the enemy fleet in the center from all directions, almost without blind spots.

At such a close distance, the speed of the high-energy rays was not something that Mayne and his men could react to.

Fortunately, the shipboard optical computer reacted very quickly. After detecting the ultra-high-energy ray attack, it immediately increased the output power of the energy shield to the maximum.

Unfortunately, the reserved response time was still too short, and energy supply also required a process.

The energy shields of more than 90% of the warships did not have time to activate to the maximum power, and the high-energy rays arrived in an instant.

In just a few seconds, the net-like firepower sweep constructed by the ray stream has swept across the airspace where the entire fleet is located.

Some lucky ones who were hit by only one ray were fine. Under the weakening of the protective light film that had not completely dissipated, the high-energy ray did not penetrate their energy shields.

However, the ships that were hit by multiple high-energy rays at the same time were not so lucky. The shields were instantly consumed.

Without the protection of the energy shield, the outer armor of the warship was easily melted and penetrated when facing the high-energy rays, just like paper.

In just one salvo, nearly 50,000 small warships were destroyed.

Among the remaining 50,000 warships, nearly half of the ship-borne energy shield generators were completely destroyed due to overload and were in an unprotected state!

Lacking a sufficiently powerful shield generator, almost all small ships were destroyed or seriously damaged in this wave of indiscriminate firepower coverage.

This is the case when the fleet is in the jump zone, the protective light film has not completely dissipated, and the power of the opponent's high-energy rays has been weakened to a certain extent.
