Chapter 687: Battle of the Tanni Empire (Part 2)

The nine main fleets and one Xingyuan fleet under his command were divided into three fronts.

The three main fleets on the left wing were commanded by Wang Hezheng, commander of the First Fleet.

The three main fleets on the right wing were commanded by Ye Zhou, commander of the Second Assault Fleet.

In the center are three main fleets, plus a Xingyuan fleet, commanded by the current chief of staff Liu Yang.

This time, the Galaxy Defense fleet did not adopt an offensive formation, but maintained a defensive formation.

Since the enemy dared to break through the Star Fortress's defense line and had two A-level psychics, they must be planning a quick victory.

Even among these enemy warships, a group of warships will be called up and assembled to prepare to attack Li Xin's mecha.

But it just so happened that Li Xin also thought so. His Xingyuan Fleet, battlecruisers, and escort ships were all prepared for this battle.

The Xingyuan Fleet has powerful firepower. If we only count the attack power of the main guns, it is almost equivalent to the firepower of six main fleets.

A Phantom-class battlecruiser has two main gun units that are more powerful than the concentrated arc main gun, and the Xingyuan fleet has a total of 29 ships of this level.

If he were hit by a round of concentrated fire, even Li Xin himself would be in trouble, not to mention the two A-level psychics from the Tanni Empire whose technological level is lower than his.

Of course, the probability of being hit by a strong person of this level is not that high.

The fleet above was approaching rapidly, mainly the ships of the Tany Empire accelerating, while the ships of the Galactic Defense remained stationary.

Even after the battle begins, these galactic defense ships will move backwards.

The outer periphery of the Mammoth Tri star system is different from the outer peripheries of other galaxies.

On the outskirts of this galaxy, there is an ice belt that is millions of kilometers in size.

The stars in the Mammuthus system are relatively small, even only one-third the size of the sun, so this results in the planets in this system that are farther away from the stars being almost all frozen.

The outermost ice belt is the water resource that was shattered by the continuous impact of the surrounding large planets over a long period of time and condensed into ice in the cold space.

This circle covers an ice belt of millions of kilometers. The smallest ice block may be only the size of a finger joint, but the largest ice block may be as huge as a mountain.

They fly around the star system under the influence of gravity.

Now human ships have retreated to the vicinity of this stellar ice belt and are launching defensive operations here.

As the ships of the Tany Empire approached, attack orders were issued and battleships began to concentrate their fire on the enemy ships.

Once the enemy ships leave the Star Fortress defense line, they will lose more than just the support of the various weapon stations within the Star Fortress defense line.

What was lost was the powerful tactical support of Star Fortress.

The battle between the ships was very fierce. The ships of both sides began to spray projectiles with kinetic weapons. Countless projectiles attacked the ships of the other side.

The void shields of the ships above were shaken violently by the impact.

After the fleet entered the ice belt, the large and small ice blocks here also became an important means of interfering with the battle.

Some of the space missiles and torpedoes launched by both sides will not be able to avoid them and will crash into these ice blocks of varying sizes.

Various energy jets are sometimes blocked by ice, which weakens the attack power of the jets or even deflects them.

The Galaxy Defense fleet fought while retreating. After the Tany Empire's fleet suffered a certain number of casualties, it finally forced the fleet above to engage in close combat.

Various energy weapons fired at each other, the void shield kept shaking, and some warships were smashed into wreckage and turned into fragments.

There were also warships that made an emergency jump to escape the battlefield at the last moment and appeared at an emergency assembly point in the distance.

When two armies fight, they are just exchanging pieces with each other, using the smallest loss to exchange for the greatest damage.

The Phantom-class battlecruiser opened fire. The Starlight Cannon had a longer range and could directly strike the large battleships behind the enemy fleet.

“Boom!!”

A thick energy beam penetrated directly into the space. An enemy frigate within the attack range of the split-light cannon, along with its void shield, was penetrated after only holding on for a few seconds.

The frigate was directly blown up by the high-energy beam, and the entire warship was shattered into pieces.

The remaining energy beams suffered little damage and were still shooting at a battleship of the Tany Empire.

“Buzz buzz buzz!!”

The battleship's void shield was a disaster in the face of such an attack. A huge noise was heard at the point where the void shield collided with the energy beam.

Infinite power was sent into the subspace by the void shield.

“It’s so scary!”

"This attack directly depleted 12% of the ship's void shield energy limit!"

In the battleship, the officer in charge of managing the void shield quickly reported the results of this defense.

The battleship's commander looked at this astonishing number and felt terrified.

"How can it be so high!?"

"Submit this report quickly and let other warships and fleet commanders know the data!" After the captain sighed, he immediately gave the order.

"Yes! Captain!" An officer immediately sent out the data.

You should know that a main gun attack from the battleship of the Tanni Empire can only reduce the energy limit of the battleship's void shield by about 2%.

In other words, in theory, it would take at least fifty main gun shots to destroy a battleship's void shield.

On the battlefield, this can replace five rounds of concentrated fire from ten battleships.

Even if there were ten battleships, it would take several hours of concentrated fire to destroy the void shield of a battleship.

This is also why battleships are the absolute main force on the interstellar battlefield, because their void shields are really powerful.

This is also the reason why a large-scale space battle can last for more than ten days or even one or two months.

In this battle, the attack power of the fourth generation of human arc cannons can consume about 6% of the void shield energy limit of the battleships of the Tane Empire.

The attack power of the two sides differs by almost three times, and this is only the difference in main guns.

The attack power of the fifth-generation Star-Splitting Light Cannon is even more terrifying, which is six times the attack power of the third-generation main gun of the Tanni Empire. This will greatly change the situation of the battle.

Fortunately, the main target of the Phantom-class battlecruisers at this time was not these space battleships. They had quite a few battleships, and their attention was still on the enemy's A-class psychics. They were always ready to attack the enemy's A-class psychics with the Starburst Cannon.
