Chapter 161, Brilliant Explosion
Hearing the so-called 'starting point of the road to glory', Yelicia snorted coldly, as if she was very disdainful, and didn't want to talk to Gu Hang, and turned around and continued to work.
She constantly gives orders, constantly listens to reports from various departments, and makes corresponding reactions and judgments to form orders and pass them on.
She looked a little nervous, trying to stay focused. It is true that she is not an experienced navy veteran, and she does not even have serious actual combat experience, but her excellent results in the Naval Academy are not fake. If you don't have really good grades, how can you become a captain even with this family background? She is not alone in the younger generation of the Fofana family.
Her mind was full of the various tactical ethics she had learned at the Naval Academy, and combined with the real-time conditions on the battlefield, she responded and issued orders in a standard way.
This can be a little tedious, but less error-prone.
When Yelicia was in school, she had thought of many bizarre naval battle tactics. However, after having actual experience, she found that her early whimsical ideas were purely for her own enjoyment. A few are serious and useful, and even seem to have miraculous effects in the current battle situation.
But she didn't dare to use it.
Who knows whether a method that has not been proven in actual combat will be miraculous or a waste?
In the current situation, what she needs to do most is not to make mistakes, and use the powerful firepower and strong defense capabilities of the cruiser "Quintet" to fight steadily.
I'd rather play more rigidly.
Gu Hang looked at Ye Lixia's serious expression, a smile appeared on his face, and he felt a little more relaxed.
How to ease the relationship with this female brigadier in the future is a matter for another time. Let’s get over the current difficulty first.
There was a conflict between the two of them just now, and a conflict almost broke out.
After Gu Hang and nearly 20,000 soldiers boarded the starship, the Quintet drove to the transition point of Tunnel No. 1 in the Nu Xiao Galaxy.
Before that, Ye Lixia tried to ask the astropath on the starship to send a message to the 'Beautiful Maiden' to remind Wang Jiarong to prepare in advance. But the message transmission failed, probably because the other party was traveling through the astral tunnel. In this state, it is difficult for the astropath to locate the target of information transmission and deliver the message.
At this point, they gave up the communication and let the ship park quietly in the void.
Silence all communications and turn off most of the engine power except the necessary energy supply...
The starship floats silently in the void, and is no more than a speck of dust on an observation scale of tens to hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Even if the enemy starts scanning the surrounding environment immediately after passing through the astral tunnel, it will be difficult to find traces.
Yelicia strictly implemented her previous idea, and she squatted here, waiting for things to happen.
If you can fight, fight; if you can't, just run away.
After seeing the green-skin fleet chasing the beautiful girl's caravan, Yelicia fell into a bit of a dilemma.
Putting aside those frigates, it is difficult to penetrate the defense system on the main cruiser with a bunch of small-sized weapons.
But those four destroyers cannot be ignored. The medium-sized firepower carried on them can really pose a threat.
But really speaking, it's not like there's no chance of winning. There are still four ships in the beautiful girl's caravan. Together with them, there is still a chance of victory, even quite high, 60% or even 70%.
However, the winning rate of 60 to 70% was not enough for Yelicia to gamble.
If you lose the bet and lose everything, it is better to retreat, go back and shake people, gather the entire Pegasus fleet, and it will not be difficult to eliminate these greenskins.
As for the safety of Raging Owl Star?
Forget it, a planet with an annual tax quota of five million yuan is nothing to save.
The cost of a frigate is over 500 million for the cheapest ones. The Raging Star has to pay a hundred years of tax to afford a frigate.
But for Gu Hang, the concept is completely different.
It's okay if Yelicia withdraws, but the Wrathful Star will be finished.
He strongly urged Yelicia to participate in the battle.
This is how the conflict between the two arose.
Yelicia was not very willing. During the argument, Gu Hang did not say it explicitly, but vaguely mentioned that there were 20,000 of his soldiers on the starship.
Yelicia's face suddenly darkened.
Even if you don't say it explicitly, it's still a threat.
She had hoped that Gu Hang would come up with his troops, just in case. Greenskins like to use gang-hopping tactics in space naval battles. This is written in the navy's teaching ethics. Although there are already marines on the starship, if there are 20,000 more soldiers, it will definitely feel safer.
However, who knew that this time it would become Gu Hang's weapon to threaten her?
Once civil strife breaks out on the starship, it is not to say whether her marines can suppress the 20,000 soldiers under Gu Hang's command, but there is no doubt that the fight will last for a long time.
Internal strife on the ship will pose a fatal threat to the safety of the Quintet.
Gu Hang could tell that Yelicia was being held back.
He didn't continue to talk about it and continued to force himself.
It's really a lose-lose situation, and that's what makes the greenskins on the opposite side laugh.
Afterwards, he softened his tone and spoke a few words about defending the empire, protecting the caravan, and destroying powerful alien enemies, and then drew a picture. If he really succeeded in wiping out the greenskin fleet this time, then Yelicia would There is no doubt that he has made great contributions.
A cruiser, fighting independently, annihilated an entire Greenskin fleet consisting of four destroyers and eight frigates. This feat was extremely impressive, not to mention among the Pegasus fleet, but also in the entire Imperial Navy. They can all be mentioned.
Even after such a record, and with enough family background to support her, her military rank may be able to move up in a short period of time.
There is a huge threshold between the rank of brigadier general and the rank of major general. Generally, brigadiers are not called generals, but major generals are serious generals, and no one will question them.
If it really happened, she might be the youngest general in the history of the entire Pegasus region, and no one would dare to say that she relied on the protection of her family to be promoted.
Her reputation will spread widely outside the Pegasus Star Region, so that she will become famous in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region, and even the entire Eastern Universe. The name Yelicia will shine in the entire star sea, becoming a leader of the Imperial Navy. , a new star is rising.
These words made Ye Lixia's heart beat.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought of it, but it was just that the feeling in her heart was different when someone pointed it out.
Combining the two, Yelicia finally gritted her teeth, ordered the ship to leave the silent state, prepared to fire with all its strength, and contacted the Beautiful Maiden.
Things have developed to the current situation.
Gu Hang contributed to the current situation, but his influence on future events will be very limited.
Ship command is not his ability. He could only be a bystander for the time being.
It's quite pretty.
In this entire starry sky, there are a total of more than a dozen giant space ships on both sides, projecting fierce firepower at each other. The lights, light spots, and cannonballs of different colors, and the void shields and energy shields light up when they are hit. The various flashes of light, the explosion of fire after the artillery fire hit the ship...
At least on the scale that Gu Hang could observe, on the bridge of the Quintet, the strike effect from the Thinker array and the schematic diagram of the battle scene could be seen clearly.
The lonely starry sky became lively.
However, these beautiful brilliance all contain terrible power and fatal damage.
However, when Gu Hang was a bystander, he was not just watching the fun. He carefully observed Yelicia, combined with the current situation of the battlefield and various instructions given by Yelicia, and worked hard to absorb and learn various knowledge about space navy battles.
He didn't quite understand many of the situations that occurred and the responses made by the female brigadier general, but that didn't stop him from trying to write them down. When I have the opportunity, I might be able to make some progress if someone sends me some theoretical study books.
It is indeed useless for him to learn these things now, but Gu Hang has deeply realized how important space power is in this interstellar era.
This is the decisive force.
In the future, if conditions permit, he will of course form his own navy.
Maybe with luck, he will be able to draw out the navy's technology soon?
Uh...it's better to leave it alone, it can't be built even if you take it out. Starships are still a top-level manufacturing industry that cannot be reached until the planet's productivity is highly developed.
While he was thinking wildly, he realized that the confrontation between the two fleets had reached a fever pitch.
Not long after, the green-skinned frigate, which had been hit by the Quintet's macro cannon and whose energy shield had been overloaded, also exploded in the air.
What destroyed it was the concentrated fire of the Beautiful Maiden and two other frigates.
The caravan led by Gu Hang's cousin also had experienced battleship commanders. It keenly captured the impact of the battle situation caused by the firing of the 'Quintet' and completed the fatal blow.
This is the second ship that has exploded since the naval battle began.
With two ships missing, the greenskin fleet's firepower was reduced by almost a quarter.
The results achieved by the Quintet from the ambush were enough to tilt the balance of victory towards them by another ten percentage points.
If the green-skin fleet on the opposite side were replaced by a rational human being, the best choice at this moment might be to run away quickly.
But unfortunately, that's not the green skin's style.
They continued to rush upward despite the firepower of the human ships.
After paying the price of blowing up another destroyer and two frigates, they blew up one of the caravan's frigates, and successfully boarded the other two ships.
The firepower of the ship that was boarded by the gang soon became very weak, and there was an explosion inside.
Whether they can finally drive out the green-skinned orcs who logged in is still unclear, but at least now, the help they can provide in naval battles has been reduced by at least half.
The pressure of fighting is getting bigger and bigger.
As the greenskin ships approached, although they lost five ships, the firepower became more intense - this was due to the shortening of the distance between the two sides.
The Quintet is indeed a strong ship and has powerful guns. It destroyed four of the five green-skinned warships in front of it. An L-class large-scale naval gun, the 'Wrath of Tadashi' is extremely powerful.
However, when those greenskins separated some ships and reached a distance of 50,000 kilometers from the 'Quintet', the accuracy of the super-standard firepower on the greenskin ships was greatly improved, and the Quintet was also quite It feels like two fists are no match for four hands.
The most direct manifestation is that the void shield has turned purple, and even has a tendency to change further to red. The greenskin's heavy artillery has also begun to have shells that can penetrate the shield and hit the ship armor.
While on the bridge, Gu Hang felt large vibrations from the top and bottom of the ship's hull several times.
Even the hull stabilizing device cannot completely eliminate the large vibration, which probably caused definite damage to the ship. Even if it's not a big deal, repairing the ship will probably cost a lot of money.
However, correspondingly, in order to achieve such an effect, the Orc fleet lost another frigate.
Now, the only ships they have left are two destroyers and four frigates.
In Gu Hang's understanding, the war situation has reached the final critical stage.
He was deeply impressed by the greenskin fleet's fearlessness in fighting to the bitter end.
For the human side, victory is almost within sight.
But the remaining question is at what cost.
Although the human side has only destroyed one frigate so far, the void shields of the remaining three ships of the Beautiful Maiden Caravan have all been overloaded, and two of them have been invaded by gangs, posing many crises; even the Quintet , the void shield is almost red.
If we really fight to the end and the greenskin fleet is completely wiped out, but the beautiful girl's caravan is completely destroyed and the Quintet is severely damaged, the result will be quite uncomfortable.
The additional political consequences would also be somewhat severe.
Gu Hang also heard Martins sighing next to him.
"It would be great if the strength of our battle group is still there. We can jump over one or two hundred people, and with a certain number of mortal auxiliary troops, it will be enough to capture an entire ship."
From what the chapter leader said, they had done this kind of thing before.
Gu Hang patted his shoulder and was about to say something when he saw many indicators on the bridge suddenly turn red.
This is a dangerous sign.
The Thinker Array passed the message over: "Warning! We have been invaded in many parts of the ship! The green-skin landing ship deceived the interception system through some unknown energy technology. We only captured 70% of the landing ship, and some of them were Including a large number of decoy cabins. It is currently estimated that seventeen landing cabins have successfully landed, and more than two thousand green-skinned orcs have entered the ship! The Marine Corps has engaged in firefights, but is currently at a disadvantage."
Yelicia suddenly looked at Gu Hang.
"It's your time to make a difference."
Gu Hang turned around and left without saying a word.
It's really time for him to pay, so there's no need to say anything, just do it.
