Chapter 724 Violent Attack

The space battle seems extremely fierce.

In this Waite C galaxy, high-energy rays are radiating everywhere.

More of a dense swarm of kinetic weapon pellets than an energy beam.

After being launched, these shells need to fly for a long time before they can hit the opponent.

Moreover, most kinetic energy shells will fall into the air unless the distance between the two sides is very close.

Kinetic artillery shells rely on numbers to win.

If one out of a hundred or a thousand shots can hit the opponent, it is a profit.

The carrier-based aircraft force of the Yelong Empire is no match for the Galaxy Defense carrier-based aircraft.

This triggered a chain reaction.

More Galactic Defense carrier-based aircraft broke through the blockade and began to attack the warships of the Yelong Empire.

In space battles, the lethality of various weapons is not low.

The battleship's main gun is terrifying and can destroy the enemy from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

Just like the naval battles in ancient times on Blue Planet, aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are also powerful weapons.

It is not yet time to replace the battleship's main guns for bombardment.

However, the lethality of carrier-based aircraft should never be underestimated.

Formations of carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the warships of the Yelong Empire.

A frigate of the Yelong Empire, with all short-range firepower on board fully activated.

Anti-aircraft missiles, laser rapid-fire cannons, kinetic rapid-fire cannons, etc.

These short-range firepower formed a complete firepower network around the warship.

Space anti-ship missiles or space torpedoes launched one by one from carrier-based aircraft.

Under this kind of firepower network, it was successfully intercepted.

“Boom!!”

A space torpedo was hit by a laser beam, and the propellant inside caused a simultaneous explosion, making a huge roar.

This is what frigates do. The reason for their existence is to provide protection for large ships and establish a line of defense.

But even if the frigate does its best to defend and intercept these anti-ship missiles and space torpedoes.

There will always be some that slip through the net.

After a carrier-based aircraft launched the suspended space torpedo, it quickly changed direction and retreated.

Space torpedoes have special coatings that can minimize their own electromagnetic signals as much as possible, and are also coated with light-absorbing paint.

It is almost invisible in the universe, cannot be seen by the naked eye, and there is a chance that various detection systems will ignore it.

The space torpedo passed through the frigate's firepower network at high speed. After approaching the warship, the rocket engine in front sprayed out flames, and the reverse thrust reduced the flight speed of the space torpedo.

The Void Shield has no way of intercepting this type of slowed-down weapon.

This allows the space torpedoes to penetrate the void shields of enemy frigates.

The next moment, the space torpedo that passed through the void shield began to accelerate again and slammed into the frigate.

“Boom!!!”

A huge amount of protons were detonated, and the entire space torpedo exploded violently.

The horrific explosion directly tore the frigate's armor apart, and the violent power of the explosion entered the frigate's ship.

The entire ship trembled under the explosion, and a large hole was blown out of the warship. From the hole, one could see a torn cabin and the crew and soldiers who were blown to pieces.

Although this big hole was not enough to destroy the frigate.

However, this explosion still caused a large loophole in the frigate's defense network.

Next, two more space torpedoes hit the frigate.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The continuous explosions directly blew the frigate into several pieces.

The crew and soldiers on the ship were also killed directly by this horrific explosion, or killed by the aftermath of the explosion.

Except for the warships destroyed by carrier-based aircraft.

The Galaxy Defense's vanguard fleet, consisting of destroyers, frigates, and even torpedo ships, was also frantically slaughtering enemy warships.

The destroyer has moderate firepower, and with the cooperation of the frigate, it is specifically designed to attack within the enemy frigate's defense line.

Often, just a few rounds of concentrated fire are enough to blow up a frigate.

The destroyer fleet of the Yelong Empire also came to support, but the gap in numbers was something that both sides had to pay attention to.

Together with the large warships, cruisers and battleships of the Galaxy Defense, they directly advanced to a distance of about 250,000 kilometers.

At this distance, all heavy weapons on large warships can be used.

The bombardment of L-class medium weapons directly hit the destroyers that dared to stand out and left them speechless.

The main guns of battleships are used to attack enemy battleships, but these heavy guns can focus fire on other battleships at will.

Due to the violent attack, the Yelong Empire quickly lost its small and medium-sized warships.

This is because Li Xin wanted to save escort ships and did not let them join the front-line battle.

The Xingyuan Fleet is Li Xin's trump card and the key to his dealing with the enemy's A-level psychics.

The main gun of the Phantom-class battlecruiser is very powerful, but if the opponent's A-class psychic rushes over.

Then the escort ships will teach him a lesson. One hundred and twenty escort ships are equivalent to the artillery firepower of one hundred and twenty cruisers.

Not to mention other A-level psychics, even Li Xin himself could not withstand such a large amount of artillery fire.

The void shield possessed by the A-class mecha is very thick, but no matter how thick it is, there is a load limit.

If you hit too much, the void shield will be overloaded.

Moreover, the mecha's void shield was overloaded, and there was no possibility of recovery.

Unless the battle stops, the void shield inside the body can be dismantled for repair or replacement.

The battleship's void shield was overloaded, and it was able to recover because the battleship was large enough. If the void shield was overloaded and damaged, the damage control personnel would be directly responsible for repairs.

If it can't be repaired, there are spare void shield generators in the warehouse for replacement.

The mecha does not have this opportunity and can only be dismantled and repaired after returning.

The Guardian-class escort ships in Li Xin's hands did not join the front-line battlefield, but were just waiting for the enemy's A-class psychics to jump over.

What if the enemy doesn't attack the Phantom-class battlecruiser?

If they don't come, that would be even better. The Phantom-class battlecruiser's Starburst Cannon can fire continuously without interference.

It won’t take long after the war starts to destroy all the opponent’s large warships.

No civilization can afford such a loss.

It takes at least several years to build a large battleship and put it into service.

It takes a lot of resources to build.

The ships require a large number of crew members and soldiers, all of whom are elite talents and soldiers.

Such a warship is expensive to build, has high maintenance costs, and has high combat effectiveness.

Every ten to twenty minutes, one of them would be destroyed by a Phantom-class battlecruiser.

Who can stand this?
