The Sky Fortress is so huge, with a diameter of over 150 kilometers, that the attacking fleet can lock onto and attack it without even having to aim deliberately.
This is also a flaw brought about by strong defense.
The large ships in the Galaxy Defense Group fleet are now hiding behind the Sky Fortress. If you want to attack these warships, you must first attack the Sky Fortress.
In this way, the defensive power of the Sky Fortress comes in handy.
After the enemy launched their attack, Liu Yang also gave the order: "All main gun-class weapons, begin to concentrate fire on the enemy's large ships!!"
After the order was given, one hundred and fifty Phantom-class cruisers, nearly one hundred battleships, and more than two hundred focused arc main guns of the Sky Fortress began to concentrate their fire on the enemy's large warships at the same time.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
Judging from the number of main guns, the number of the Galactic Defense Group in Fornax is not inferior to that of the Oort Cloud Combined Fleet that came to attack.
A Phantom-class battlecruiser has two main guns, which is double the number.
Together with the battleships and the main guns of the Sky Fortress, they can form the firepower core of 18,000 warships.
The 20,000 warships of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony brought by Moli actually have about the same amount of main gun firepower, with at most a dozen or twenty more.
But in fact, there is a gap between main guns.
The specific difference is reflected in the different technological levels of the main guns of both sides.
One hundred and fifty Phantom-class battlecruisers and three hundred Starburst Light-Splitting Cannons, all of which are fifth-generation main guns.
The attack power is higher and the range is longer.
The more than two hundred arc-powered main guns of the Sky Fortress are also more powerful than those installed on battleships. The main point of strength lies in the faster charging speed.
After all, the Sky Fortress is larger in size and its internal energy system is more powerful, so the charging speed of its focused arc main gun is much faster.
Liu Yang had not been in a hurry to use the range advantage of the Mirage-class battlecruiser before, because he wanted to wait until the firepower was maximized.
Inside the defense line, the instantaneous striking capability of the main gun-level defensive firepower surprised Mo Li a little.
He was surprised and said, "How can the firepower within this defense line be so strong!"
"No! There's a loophole in our intelligence!"
All in all, the Oort Cloud United Hegemony has never actually fought against the Galactic Defense Corporation.
In front are the fleets and defense lines of Lidadas Capital, which have fought with the Galaxy Defense Group.
But both Fornax and Benson's fleet were defeated, although some of the information was leaked.
However, the records show that the main battleships of the Galaxy Defense Group have a longer range and greater power.
The large ships of the Galaxy Defense Group have always been kept highly confidential.
The intelligence obtained by the intelligence personnel hidden in Fornax later on was unlikely to involve information about the Phantom-class battlecruiser.
So for Moli, what information did he obtain?
There are only 150 large battleships of the Galactic Defense Corporation and 100 newly built battleships of the Lidadas Capital in the Fornax Fornax.
This was a huge mistake in firepower estimation.
They never imagined that the large warships of the Galaxy Defense Group were actually fifth-generation technology Phantom-class battlecruisers, each equipped with two main guns.
Just one blow was enough to surprise Moli.
In one round of attack, several of Moli's battleships and many cruisers were destroyed.
Some ships were able to jump back to the subspace in time to avoid it, but some were not so lucky and were directly blown up, becoming a firework of Fornax.
But the battle has already begun, and Moli is in a difficult situation. He can't just think about escaping as soon as the battle starts.
So, he ordered: "When all ships are attacked by concentrated fire, jump and escape in time!"
"Concentrate all firepower and attack their Sky Fortress!"
"quick!"
As Moli's order was issued, the battle instantly became intense.
The main large warships in the fleet poured fire on the Sky Fortress, and the assault fleet composed of destroyers and torpedo ships also accelerated their sailing speed and charged forward.
When dealing with giant defensive fortresses like the Sky Fortress, the large number of space torpedoes carried by the torpedo ship are of great use.
After all, the ship's maneuvering speed is very fast, and the hit rate of space torpedoes is very low.
But the Sky Bastion is different. It is huge and cannot move. As long as it can avoid the dense defensive firepower, it can be hit.
But Liu Yang had already been on guard against Moli's assault fleet.
The destroyers and frigates in the task force established five layers of defense in front of the Sky Fortress.
At the same time, some weapon platforms and weapon stations can also play a huge role at this time.
There are even thousands of heavy weapon units on the Sky Fortress, as well as dense medium and short-range small firepower and short-range defensive firepower.
These are not vegetarian either.
Heavy weapon units, these are cruiser main gun-level weapons, and they can be used to attack battleships within their range.
Not to mention the small and medium-sized assault fleets used to fight the Oort Cloud United Hegemony.
The scene was a complete massacre, and the battle was extremely fierce.
The current battle is like the ancient wars where the attacking troops engage in hand-to-hand combat to attack the city.
Large battleships and cruisers are long-range siege equipment, catapults, crossbows, etc.
Frigates, destroyers, and torpedo boats are the front-line soldiers who climb the city walls.
Catapults, crossbows, and the like may not necessarily cause heavy casualties, but the casualties among the soldiers on the front lines will definitely be high.
Normally, attacks on the Sky Fortress are carried out using large warships, battleships, etc., which directly destroy the Sky Fortress's void shield.
Finally, use dense warships and carrier-based aircraft to attack the Sky Fortress itself.
But no matter which one, the attacking side needs to have a greater military advantage.
The vanguard fleet led by Moli now has 8,000 more members than the Galaxy Defense Group.
But most of it was used on small and medium-sized ships, and the firepower of the main guns did not increase much.
This was bad news, and the results were far beyond Moli's expectations.
The battle had only been going on for three days, and the loss of the vanguard fleet made Moli look ugly.
He urgently issued an order: "Order the fleet to withdraw from the enemy's firepower range in an orderly manner!"
"Yes, sir!"
Moli's order was quickly distributed to the entire fleet, and the fleet began to slowly withdraw from the attack range of the Skyforge Fortress.
But it is easy to come in, but much more difficult to go out.
The Phantom-class battlecruisers chased after them and sank quite a few ships of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony.
