Why doesn't the fleet of the Moranok Interstellar Lord State block the jump point of the Galactic Defense Fleet and attack directly?
Because this method could not exist in the first place.
When a fleet jumps out of the warp, it needs a psychic navigator to survey in advance, so that there is enough time to choose a suitable location to jump out of the warp.
With a distance of millions of kilometers, in the real universe at sub-light speed, it would take at least a dozen hours for the two sides to make formal contact and start fighting.
This distance and time are enough for the Galaxy Defense Fleet to complete all pre-war preparations and adjust the front line.
In fact, this is true.
On the flagship of the Galaxy Defense Fleet, Li Xin looked at the ships on the opposite side and sneered, "It seems that the enemy is not planning to escape any further."
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!"
If Guy did not leave behind a rearguard fleet and the main force of the army continued to fight Li Xin, Li Xin would probably suffer greater losses.
But now, the rearguard fleet was directly eaten up by Li Xin, and the number of existing fleets is barely the same as the number of the Galaxy Defense fleet.
The numbers are similar, but the combat effectiveness is much worse.
Apart from anything else, some warships do not have enough carrier-based aircraft, and the mecha troops are only half as strong.
The energy consumption of some warships is also serious. After all, ordinary sailing and fierce fighting are two completely different concepts.
In the previous battle, the two sides fought in the Gamma B galaxy for more than 20 days. Even though the warships had sufficient energy reserves, this consumed a lot of energy.
It's not just the energy consumption of the Moranok Star Lords' fleet that is serious.
Li Xin's Galaxy Defense fleet consumed the same amount of energy, but in the end, he drew out some of the fleet's energy and replenished it into the fleet, so that it could at least fight a battle.
In contrast, Guy's fleet simply ran away without even replenishing its energy. Now they are worried that they will run out of energy to recharge their weapons in the middle of the battle.
But even so, Guy still ordered the fleet to advance, even if he died in battle, he would die on the battlefield.
As the warships of both sides continued to approach, the Galaxy Defense fleet had already deployed into battle formation.
There were two fleets on each wing, spread out like a huge hand, and flanked Moranok's fleet from the side.
As the vanguard of the battle, the destroyer rushed to the front.
The frigates of the central army formed three frigate defense lines, near, medium and far, to isolate the enemy's carrier-based aircraft, space missiles and torpedo attacks.
Large cruisers have become the backbone of the defense line, and they are not only responsible for long-range fire strikes.
It is also necessary to concentrate fire on certain enemies who intend to break through the defense line when necessary.
At the rear of the line were the assembled battleships.
These battleships have powerful firepower and strong defense, and are the absolute main force of the fleet.
At this time, these battleships had already accumulated enough energy, and when they reached the firing range, they opened fire instantly.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!!”
Nearly a hundred deep purple concentrated arc beams were fired from the main gun, cutting through the dark space around it.
It's like outlining a painting with purple lines on a black canvas.
“Boom!!”
Some of the enemy destroyers rushing in the front were directly penetrated by the concentrated electric arc, and the void shield seemed to be defenseless, and the armored cabins melted directly.
The void shield of a large ship became precarious after being subjected to continuous concentrated arc fire. The entire ship moved backward and temporarily retreated to the rear to wait for the void shield to be recharged.
At this time, the large warships of both sides demonstrated their absolute dominance over the battlefield.
The hangars were opened. From a distance, they looked like a honeycomb. Densely packed carrier-based aircraft flew out of them, forming a loose battle formation and rushing towards the enemy warships.
Along with the carrier-based aircraft, the Galaxy Defense Mecha Force was also dispatched.
The number of the enemy's carrier-based aircraft and mechas is now less than half of the Galaxy Defense.
Now is a good time to kick the dog when it's down.
On the flagship, Li Xin laughed and said, "That's how war works. We should use our military's strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses!"
"Order the troops, don't rush to attack the enemy ships! Kill the enemy's carrier-based aircraft and mecha units!"
"Order the destroyers. No need to rush so fast. Maintain a safe combat distance! Now is not the time for a decisive battle!!"
The senior officers around him quickly delegated Li Xin's orders to more fleet commanders.
Weng Hua also laughed and said, "The energy reserves of our warships are still healthy, but the enemy's energy reserves are probably not so healthy!"
Li Xin also nodded and said, "They don't prioritize resupplying ships, but rather returning home. This is absolutely correct for conventional warfare in this star field!"
"But they never imagined that we could catch up with them so quickly."
"One wrong step, all wrong!"
"Their fleet is weaker than ours, their energy reserves are inferior to ours, and even their fleet's carrier-based aircraft and mecha units are outnumbered. How are they going to fight this battle?!"
The gap in hard power between the two armies must absolutely be faced squarely.
Now Li Xin has slowed down his offensive pace. He only needs to lock onto his opponent firmly and the battle will be won.
Now they are in no hurry to advance the front line, and the frigates, destroyers, and even cruisers are staying far away.
The only ships that joined the attack were hundreds of battleships.
All the warships were maintaining a speed relative to the enemy fleet's charge, not giving them a chance to close in.
The battleship uses its arc-shaped main gun with a longer range to continuously attack the enemy's fast-moving ships.
There was a round of shooting every half an hour, and each time there was a huge result.
Before the battle lines of both sides, there was a battle between a large number of densely packed carrier-based aircraft.
The technological level of Galaxy Defense's carrier-based aircraft is higher, which will directly cause a huge increase in the enemy's carrier-based aircraft losses, and even make the enemy appear to be in disarray.
As for the mecha troops, although the mecha troops of Galaxy Defense have been released, they are all maintaining a defensive posture.
Instead, the enemy's mecha troops kept jumping into the battleship formation, trying to attack the Galaxy Defense ships or delay the movement of the Galaxy Defense fleet.
However, the number of the mecha troops was insufficient and their combat effectiveness was even inferior to that of Moranok. Attacking at this time was nothing more than delivering food again and again.
Often several Rangers would surround and hunt down an enemy mecha.
If the fighting continues like this, it is only a matter of time before the remaining fleet of the Moranok Interstellar Lord State is defeated.
