Matt, who was assigned to attack first, accepted the order with a bitter face.
Their escort fleet has already maximized the function of the void shield, and each one is advancing forward as if they are carrying a turtle shell.
And on the way forward, he also mocked the pirates openly:
"Damn pirates, return the ships you looted and compensate us for our losses! Otherwise, today will be the day your pirate group will be destroyed!"
On the other hand, the leader of the Red Horn Pirates burst into laughter after receiving Matt's clear communication.
"This caravan of idiots, they don't think that their small escort fleet can capture us, right?!"
A subordinate beside him said, "Could there be a hidden enemy fleet? Otherwise, how could this Chamber of Commerce fleet dare to trouble us with such a small fleet?"
This made the pirate leader nod repeatedly and said, "You are right. Let all ships be on high alert!"
"Turn up the reconnaissance equipment to maximum and take a good look to see if there are any other enemy ships nearby!"
"At the same time, all ships are ready to enter the warp and fight!"
"Yes! Chief!"
All the pirate ships have been assembled, and the gunboats have been towed by modified armed transport boats and can enter the subspace at any time.
The pirates' destroyers and frigates began to search the interior of the galaxy to see if there were any hidden enemy ships.
But how big is a galaxy? How can we find human ships scattered into small groups with the naked eye or ordinary observation and aiming equipment?
Relying on their electronic reconnaissance system, it is indeed difficult to cross one or even two generations to find the human fleet of fourth-generation ships.
Human fleets all have stealth capabilities, which can minimize the possibility of being discovered.
Of course, after the battle begins, the effect of this invisible force field will be greatly reduced, but before the battle begins, these pirates cannot discover human ships unless they see them with the naked eye.
Soon, after a series of checks, no other ships were found except those of the merchant escort fleet.
This result left the pirate leader somewhat bewildered. He looked at his men and said, "Could it be that there's something wrong with the brains of these merchants?"
"Do they really think these thirty or so old ships can scare us?"
My subordinates were also a little confused.
However, at this time, the fleets of both sides were about to reach combat distance.
The leader immediately made up his mind and shouted, "Everyone, move! Let's teach these crazy merchants a lesson!"
"Send out all the gunboats and get the boarding ships ready. This time, be sure to leave more ships behind!"
"Yes! Chief!"
In an instant, the entire communication channel was filled with the howling sounds of various alien creatures.
The gunboats that were originally towed by the armed ships were all released at this time, and the pirate fleet, more than one hundred ships of various types, began to surround Matt's ships.
The pirates' ships and Matt's escort fleet started fighting.
In the vast space, the energy weapons of both sides were firing at each other.
The pirates' frigates and destroyers also have void shields.
However, modified armed ships and gunboats do not have void shields. Instead, they use plasma shields that consume more energy.
When the battle began, these pirates scattered instantly, and these gunboats attacked Matt's escort fleet from all directions like piranhas.
At the beginning of the battle, both sides fired energy weapons, and each ship had a shield, so there was no loss.
As the enemy gunboat got closer, Matt became more and more nervous.
He kept calling for support from Li Xin.
Because the combat methods of these pirate gunboats are different from other warships, they will launch boarding battles against other ships.
In fact, human ships also have this feature, but small fleets generally do not have this means.
The pirates' boarding battles are to use various small ships to launch a death charge under the overwhelming firepower network, and then crash into the enemy ships.
The pirates on small ships, such as gunboats, then broke into the Chamber of Commerce's escort ships or transport ships and took control of the crew.
The human boarding battle is the same in the subsequent part, also using assault boats to directly crash into the enemy's ship, and then the genetic warriors jump out from inside and seize the enemy's ship.
But the first half is different. A general boarding battle requires at least a large amphibious assault ship, or a mecha or space fighter mothership.
On this kind of mothership or amphibious assault ship, the warship will directly open the subspace channel and teleport these assault boats directly to the enemy fleet.
There is absolutely no need for the assault boats to brave the heavy fire and make huge sacrifices to reach the vicinity of the enemy ships.
They can directly and quickly launch a boarding battle, and use dozens or hundreds of genetic warriors to seize control of an enemy ship.
Of course, the enemy's ships will usually be filled with a group of soldiers responsible for fighting on the ships.
At this time, it depends on which side has stronger combat effectiveness.
The pirates did not have such strength, but the combat effectiveness of Matt's escort fleet was also average. They only blew up a few gunboats, and the enemy's small boats were about to catch up.
Just when Matt was so scared that he was about to start an emergency subspace jump, Li Xin's fleet appeared.
Li Xin gave Matt an order: "President Matt, your fleet can retreat!"
Matt felt the pressure in his heart greatly reduced at this time, and quickly ordered his fleet to retreat.
The human fleet had emerged from the darkness at this time, semi-surrounding the pirates' ships.
Li Xin issued a combat order: "Open the subspace trap!"
"Open the subspace trap!!"
Combat orders were issued layer by layer, and then all the ships turned on their special equipment to lock onto the pirates' ships.
Under the lock of this subspace trap, the psychic jump engines of these ships will be interfered with and locked, making it difficult to reopen the subspace jump. Even if the subspace is forcibly opened, they will be thrown to an unknown place by the chaotic subspace energy flow.
If you want to remove this subspace trap, you can only spend time grinding it away, and it will take about a few days to erase it.
The pirates were instantly in a panic, and a large number of enemy ship signals appeared on the electronic signals.
At the same time, some crew members exclaimed: "Oh no!"
"The enemy has activated the subspace trap, and we can't enter the warp state now!!"
