The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons Chapter 76

  Chapter 76 Wandering and Changing Targets

  Frigates are cannon fodder most of the time, but that doesn't mean they are ineffective.

   Not to mention the role of shielding the capital ship, escort, patrol, reconnaissance, guard, army landing support, etc. all need frigates.

  Because of the diversity of its functions, the proportion of frigates in a fleet is very high.

   Like their fleet, there are only 12 battleships, but there are more than 700 frigates.

   In fact, when calculating the combat power of a large fleet, a frigate will not be counted in it, and it mainly depends on the number of large and medium-sized warships and the configuration of weapons.

Just like the Crimson team has five or six thousand frigates, but evaluating their strength basically depends on how many battleships and cruisers destroyers there are. There are not enough main battleships, and the frigates can be multiplied by ten times to become five to six thousand. Not to the edge of the Reef Lair galaxy.

   Quickly killed the **** fleet, the main force caught up with the transport ships and took them all down, disarmed them, and loaded them into the universe one by one.

  I don't know what to transport, so I bought hundreds of small and medium-sized transport ships for nothing.

   Among them, there are 22 medium-sized transport ships, and the other 86 are all small transport ships.

  Although it is inferior to human ships in terms of capacity and speed, what can a prostitute ask for? You can use it.

   Spent some time looking through the transport ship and found that it was full of food.

  More than a hundred boats of food

  Li Qing thought about it, and unloaded all of them into the warehouse for storage.

   I'm too lazy to sell it, so keep it for your own use.

  The main species of the Shata tribal joint civilization are also carbon-based organisms. They eat similar things, either seafood or meat, or thin fruits. If they are purified and disinfected, they can be eaten by clones.

  So, this wave didn't make much money.

   But there is no loss, under the command of the Servant of Light, no frigate was lost.

   It also has the super command ability of Servant of Light, which can guarantee the smallest loss. If other players play like him, the loss will be too big to bear after a few times.

  After the Black Eagle frigate was built, Li Qing took over the command of the fleet again, ordered the fleet to adjust its direction, and flew towards the hidden reef lair galaxy, the capital of the southern province of the Shata tribal civilization.

If we look at the time, the Crimson team and the Free United team should have set off long ago. If they moved quickly, they should have surpassed them by now. A super-large fleet like theirs must not be able to hide, and it will inevitably cause the Shata tribal civilization. Pay attention to.

   Perhaps the Shata civilization has not realized that they are going to their capital galaxy, but with such a large fleet, it is still possible to attack some important hubs or important bases in various places. If they are careless, they may really be captured.

   Two days later, the fleet left the current galaxy and entered another galaxy.

  Li Qing was not in a hurry to hurry. There was no need to worry at all. The crimson team received much more attention than them, and the speed of various interceptions along the way would definitely be very slow.

   Their speed is already fast, if they are still busy on their way, it is possible to accidentally run in front of them.

   Stop and go all the way, destroy all the interception systems encountered, and mark all the routes passed as a new star map. If you run away later, you can directly follow this route that has no interception system and quickly escape.

  Ten days later, the fleet passed through four galaxies, came to a strange galaxy, and stopped at the edge of the galaxy's gravitational well.

   According to the mark on the star map, about three galaxies ahead, it is the fourth logistics base of the southern province of the United Civilization of the Shata Tribe.

The Shata civilization has a total of nine important galaxies in the southern province, ranked from one to nine. The first galaxy is the capital reef lair galaxy, and the second galaxy is the Cuelta Fortress galaxy. It is also the front line of the southern theater and the closest to the outpost. A fortress galaxy, which is heavily guarded.

  No. 4 is an important logistics base, which contains a half-reformed habitable planet, mainly for herding and agriculture.

  No. 6 is the galaxy that Jialan attacked before, and there is a super foundry complex in it, which is the largest heavy industry base in the southern province of the Shata Civilization.

  If the No. 4 logistics base is destroyed, although they will not run out of food, it will definitely be greatly affected. After a long time, the stored food is exhausted, and there will still be food crises everywhere.

   But on the star map marker, this galaxy is stationed with a wing-level fleet.

  The so-called wing-level fleet is the temporary joint establishment of several large and medium-sized branch fleets, and the specific strength is uncertain.

   There are at least 100 battleships, and at most there are hundreds of battleships. At the same time, there should be many garrison or patrol fleets in nearby galaxies.

  Li Qing thought about it carefully, and finally gave up the plan to go in and take a look.

  Of course, the main reason is that there is no oil and water in this galaxy, so you can't run over to grab a bunch of food, what's the point of that.

  However, when the fleet went around from the other side and came to a wormhole in a certain galaxy, and was about to send a few frigates there to explore the way first, the wormhole suddenly lit up with dazzling energy light, and the raging energy tide sprayed in all directions.

   "An enemy is warping?"

  Li Qing immediately ordered the fleet to retreat. After estimating the scale of the energy tide, he ordered the fleet to withdraw 500 kilometers from the wormhole to prepare for battle.

  Accompanied by the explosion of the soaring light, a fleet of the same size as himself leaped over.

   "Call me!"

Under the precise control of Li Yuan, the servant of light, 8 neutron light spears, 4 giglevel kinetic energy orbital main guns, and nearly two thousand L main guns or L large weapons fired at the same time. The dazzling light spear beams traversed the void, Accompanied by earth-shattering explosions, extremely violent artillery fire destroyed a battleship on the spot.

  Even though the shield and armored hull of the battleship is extremely strong, the firepower assembled at this moment is too fierce.

12 X-slot super large main guns, nearly two thousand L main guns or L large weapons, the most important thing is the 95% extra damage bonus of the Servant of Light, and Li Yuan's talent "Void Distortion Aura" 'It can directly weaken the shield armor and hull of the enemy fleet by 10%.

  The combination of the three can explode as much as eight million in an instant. Even the fifth-generation fully equipped battleships of human beings can only suffer from hatred in the face of such firepower.

   Well, the premise is that it is not equipped with damage-reducing accessories such as energy barrier enhancers and armor buffers.

   It is not clear whether the Shata civilization has such special accessories, but the basic attributes of the third-generation battleships are not as good as those of the fifth-generation human battleships.

  However, there is one thing to say. From this, it can be seen that the shield and armor strength of the battleship are indeed very strong, and it is worthy of being a main battleship.

  If you are a normal player, you must have 25 battleships and a fleet of more than 2,000 L-slot large weapons to focus fire at the same time in order to kill a battleship in a single wave.

  But in actual combat, this is actually very difficult to do. Like this kind of main battleship, it usually stays in the middle and rear to output, and a pile of cannon fodder in front can resist the firepower. It is difficult to seize this opportunity.

  They just caught the enemy fleet just coming out of the wormhole and were caught off guard.

  After a wave of instant kills, the enemy fleet immediately made a defensive response. Although this was useless, how could it be an opponent of the Servant of Light in a situation of the same scale.

   It took less than half an hour to defeat the enemy fleet easily, but it took four hours to chase and defeat the enemy fleet. The key is to catch up with only a part, and a small part escaped.

  The small scale is like this, the enemy fled in all directions, and they couldn't take care of everything.

  Five hours later, the main force cleaned up the battlefield, and a small reconnaissance fleet first drilled through the wormhole for reconnaissance.

   This fleet obviously didn't expect that there would be enemies in the hinterland, and they went straight through the wormhole without even dispatching a scout fleet.

  He will not be so careless, every time he goes through a wormhole, he will send a small fleet to scout.

   An hour later, I received a message from the scouting fleet. There was nothing on the other side, but I found a message left by a transport fleet. The fleet that was destroyed just now is probably the **** fleet of that large transport fleet.

  The fleet headed there at full speed, but unfortunately they had jumped away ahead of time, and they didn't touch a hair.

   Next, they wandered around in several galaxies nearby, constantly intercepting passing fleets.

  The **** fleets of general transport fleets are not very large. The **** fleets of some small fleets don't even have battleships. Li Qing doesn't care about the size of the fleet.

It is estimated that the reason for the nearby agricultural base is that most of the merchant ships here are for grain trade, and most of the goods transported are food, and occasionally there are some daily consumables, which are not very valuable. On the contrary, so many cargo ships have been robbed. The food is worth more, which is quite speechless.

   To his surprise, he was blocked in the nearby galaxy for almost half a month, and he did not see the fleet stationed in the agricultural galaxy coming to encircle him.

   After another week or so, Li Qing decided to change places and go to the No. 6 residential station galaxy in the southern province of the Shata Civilization. There is a super foundry group there, and the caravan goods passing through there should be quite valuable.

  The fleet turned and plunged into the wormhole.

An hour later, the fleet appeared in another galaxy and was about to enter the sub-light speed. Suddenly, the fleet received an alarm, and then Li Qi's scouting fleet sent a relay signal to the command channel. Everyone saw the icy starry sky coming on the screen. a huge fleet.

"This is?"

  Li Qing immediately ordered:

   "The fleet immediately turn around and retreat!"

  A Shata Civilization Fleet whose size is more than 20 times theirs is completely invincible.

   As long as the opposing commander is not a fool, he uses the simplest tactics to divide his fleet into ten and encircle him on all sides. They can't fight at all.

  They can easily sneak a fleet of two or even three or four fleets, but they have ten fleets that are twice as large as their own. As long as they drag other fleets around and take their positions, they can't escape.

   No matter how fast the speed is, various entanglements interfere with the aura, and the entanglement of the entanglement light beams, leaving some of his ships is not a problem.

   Ultrfast speed can solve many problems, but not all problems.

The fleet left before the battle at a super fast speed. Li Qi's scouting fleet followed the large fleet and followed them through the wormhole. It took three hours before sending back a message that surprised Li Qing. information.

  After passing through the wormhole, the fleet immediately activated the hyperspace engine and entered the sublight speed, with an unknown direction.

  But Li Qing immediately thought of the Crimson team's actions.

   "Could it be that the crimson team has already acted, and the gentlemen in the capital of the Shata civilization sensed the crisis and dispatched support from various places?"

"Probably."

  In the command channel, everyone is talking excitedly. If this guess is true, it means that the defenders in various places will be greatly weakened.

  However, this is not the focus of their discussion. The focus is whether the Crimson team is likely to succeed, and whether they should go and have a look.

   Attack the Reef Lair!

If they can successfully attack, the first division of the southern province of the Shata civilization located in the Cuerta Fortress galaxy system will definitely withdraw immediately. It worked.

  If they can make the incident bigger and cause more damage to the reef lair, it may even break the balance earlier, and the expeditionary force may even take the opportunity to launch an attack earlier, thus...

Total War!

  Then, as the five major teams that have broken the balance and made great contributions, it is possible to be promoted to the legion in one fell swoop.

The number of legions that can be accommodated in a place is limited. For example, Jinmen has only three official legions. If all five of their teams are promoted to the legion, it means that it is difficult for other teams to be promoted to the legion. Only by making great contributions can you be promoted to the Legion.

   "Follow up and have a look."

  The whole team was eager to try and urged him to go and have a look.

   Li Qing naturally would not object, and immediately ordered the fleet to follow along.

  However, after being intercepted more than a dozen times along the way, he changed his tactics, changed the command ship to a Black Hawk frigate, and then put the huge fleet into the universe in his palm.

   Now this thing is no longer a secret. Everyone in the fleet knows that he has a space-type relic, which contains a huge space of 10,000 kilometers.

  Only a Black Hawk frigate, without other warship escort, although it was stopped and stopped along the way, a single ship is far more flexible than a large fleet.

  The most important thing is that he only has one ship, and the target is very small. Even if the Shata civilization finds his trace through the surveillance of dense galaxies, it will not pay attention to it.

   Before, I might not have bothered to send a fleet to intercept it. After all, the target of a ship is too small to be caught.

   What's more, the attention of the Shata civilization is now on the side of the Crimson team, and a frigate like him will not pay attention to it. Even knowing his direction, there is no air fleet to intercept him.

  Single ships move forward all the way, and occasionally there are a small number of garrison fleets at some wormholes. At this time, Li Qing, a powerful psychic, can be useful.

  Powerful psychic power wraps the small frigate, and the instant psychic power teleports out of the wormhole to leave the original place to avoid the locked fire.

  Although the teleportation distance is not very far, only more than 100 kilometers, it is still within the range of the enemy.

   But as long as you avoid the first wave of fire, you will have a few tens of seconds to run away, and it is easy to escape at a super high speed with the addition of the Servant of Light.
