The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Compared with the supplemented fleet of the Red Pirates, due to the loss of the first naval battle and the subsequent transfer of the Black Templar, the fleet strength of Soshyan is much weaker than before, with only one battleship left , 2 battle barges, 3 large cruisers, 3 heavy cruisers, 10 strike cruisers, 7 light cruisers, less than 70 destroyers of different types.

Just one Star Fort is not enough to bridge such a huge gap in numbers and firepower.

Not to mention that the Red Pirates still have plenty of jumping teams to use. Even according to the most optimistic estimates, the available troops of both sides are close to 1:10.

But even with such a big advantage, in order to seek stability, Huron made a rare textbook arrangement and deployment for this naval battle.

First of all, the headquarters of the fleet, that is, the core fleet led by Huron owns one-third of the capital ships of the entire fleet, including his flagship battle barge [Destruction Ghost], 2 battleships, 2 large cruisers and 1 A heavy cruiser, as well as light cruisers and small ships in charge of cover.

The rest of the ships were assigned to the left and right flanks, forming a formation resembling a spreading eagle.

The advantage of this formation is that it can keep adjusting the combat direction at any time. If an enemy fleet attacks from the rear, it will be surrounded by flanking attacks, and if it resists directly in front, it will be attacked by the entire fleet's two wings.

The heavy task of maintaining the formation fell on the 22 capital ships. Except for the part led by Huron's main formation, the other capital ships were all scattered and deployed in key positions in the entire fleet. The commanders of these giant ships were given the initiative The power to break through the front.

Although the Red Pirates have a huge fleet, they also have certain characteristics that are different from those of the empire. In principle, everyone is Huron's subordinate, but when broken down, basically every ship has an "owner". The private property of a certain war leader or war gang, even Huron cannot completely control their behavior, which is not in line with the basic principles of the Red Pirates, an armed organization, so when coordinating such a huge naval battle, Huron will not It is also difficult to command every warship in detail. He can only dispatch powerful and well-equipped ships to appropriate positions and give them appropriate freedom of movement. This has always been his main way of commanding naval battles.

However, in order to emphasize the determination of this naval battle, Huron raised a flag on the flagship. Although the flag is meaningless in the void battle, all the red pirate commanders can see that it is a flag with a blood-red sword. , This shows the determination of Huron, the Black Hearted King, to throw himself into the **** battle regardless of everything, and his will to never retreat.

The raising of the death sword flag means that everyone will risk their lives!

However, Huron has done a lot of preparations, but the actual situation of the Red Pirates is much more complicated. Due to the differences in maintenance and combat readiness of different ships, even warships of the same type will have different performance and speed. Therefore, when the fleet deployed according to his predetermined formation, it was not so smooth and smooth.

"Huron didn't fight very well during the Badab War."

On the bridge of the Eternal Loyalty, Soshyan watched the changing situation of the enemy and the enemy on the imaging device, with a smile on his face, and then said to Almin and others beside him:

"Probably because I played a lot of chess with the rookies like the Word Bearers, and as a result, I became more and more stinky. Since I have the advantage of the fleet and troops, I should launch an attack as soon as possible to fight chaos and melee, instead of slowing down like the navy. What kind of formation do you want?"

After finishing speaking, he turned on the fleet command channel. Soshyan's command is very simple. During wartime, the entire fleet only needs to have his voice.

"The enemy is still adjusting their formation and spreading their nets."

Following his instructions, more than 200 small transport ships were rushed out of the imperial fleet, or small ships that were rushed out in a short period of time. But the powerful reactor has no weapons, only void shields and oversized thrusters, and no warp engines.

They have only one goal—

suicide.

When so many ships rushed towards them, Huron immediately guessed their purpose. After all, this is an enduring naval warfare tactic of humans. It has appeared many times when humans were still fighting with swords on Terra. .

In fact, when he scanned that there were many small ships in Soshyan's fleet, he guessed that there might be such a tactic, but knowing and responding are two different things. Huron believes that his fleet is large enough to fire those "fire ships" The destruction was on the way, after all, there were thousands of kilometers between the two fleets.

But when he gave the order to attack those small boats, he found that the situation was not as simple as he thought, because the fleet was still forming a formation. After he gave the order to fire, there was a certain degree of confusion immediately, and some fleets stopped and did not continue to go as they should. The headed position moved, but others were still moving according to the plan, including Huron himself, who was not sure whether he would continue to move according to the original formation, which made the firepower of the entire fleet not play out as he expected.

The sky full of lasers and artillery swept across the void, destroying many suicide ships, creating tumbling wreckage in the void, but some of them approached the Red Pirate fleet, and some ships began to leave their original positions in order to avoid them, which made the already shaken The formation is more chaotic.

"We must attack now!"

"Those ships haven't been wiped out~www.readwn.com~wait—"

"Damn it, Bad Blood, you are standing in front of us, do you want me to bombard your ass!"

But now the command channel of the Red Pirates is more chaotic than outside. Some captains want to give up the slow formation and take the initiative to attack, some want to clean up those suicide ships, and some just want to stay where they are, making a lot of noise. Lun's brain hurts.

And Huron also discovered one thing, although those suicide ships didn't seem to play any role, but a large amount of wreckage and metal garbage formed a moving metal belt in the void. These metal belts had no effect on the ship, but for Smaller assault boats and jumping torpedoes are very dangerous obstacles, and if you are not careful, the machine will crash and people will die.

He was vaguely aware of Soshyan's intentions.

"The net has been spread out, bless the barrier, and release the first wave of fighters."

Soon, Huron noticed that the imperial fleet began to move, and they were slowly approaching the huge star fortress. The compact spherical shape of the kilometer, the big ship inside and the small boat outside.
