There are many key factors in the confrontation between fleets.
The number of warships, the strength of their firepower, and the order of attack.
Who fires first is very important and can often determine the outcome of the entire war.
Xiao Zhen knew this very well, so he dispersed the fleet to give the destroyers with the strongest offensive and defensive capabilities more space to attack.
He had twenty destroyers with captains under his command. At this time, they were deployed according to the plan and could attack the enemy's leading warships at any time.
When the distance got closer, Xiao Zhen gave the order to attack.
Twenty destroyers were positioned forward on the flanks, firing their suborbital guns simultaneously.
The enemy may have known that they were about to be attacked, and an extraordinary shield appeared on the surface of the warship.
The Empire's extraordinary shield has been seen before. It is not very strong and can only withstand ordinary energy weapons.
The reality is indeed so. The beam of light from the suborbital cannon shot out violently, penetrating the enemy ship's shield and battleship at the same time, leaving the enemy with no ability to resist.
Xiao Zhen was greatly encouraged and ordered: "All destroyers coordinate with each other to launch a surprise attack, the target is the enemy flagship."
He controlled the remaining sky patrol ships and frigates to follow behind and provide full support with artillery fire.
The commander of the enemy fleet was a little confused and screamed in the flagship.
"What kind of weapon can easily tear apart our Aegis frigate?"
The reason why this type of frigate is placed in front of the fleet is because it has strong defense and can ignore most conventional firepower.
However, the super-energy beam shot from the opposite side almost destroyed all the Aegis frigates.
"Counterattack, attack the enemy destroyer."
The firepower was fierce, with five hundred warships firing at the same time at the destroyer that was attacking suddenly.
The captains were somewhat panicked, after all, they had never experienced such a big scene before.
"All shields activated! Suborbital cannons continue firing."
Unlike the Empire's incomplete version of the extraordinary shield, these translucent shields can withstand various energy beams, and the warships are not damaged at all.
However, it can also be seen that the shield has its endurance limit, and in some places, cracks appear before collapse due to excess energy.
Xiao Zhen had been paying attention to the situation on the front line and immediately reminded: "Don't hold on, hide when you need to, and spread out in a three-dimensional manner."
Destroyers are fast and can avoid a lot of damage from enemy ships by moving to the sides with their shields on.
But the enemy could not avoid the beam of light from the suborbital cannon, and each launch resulted in the loss of at least twenty warships.
But Xiao Zhen understood that each suborbital gun could only fire five times, and if the opponent's flagship could not be destroyed, it would be difficult to achieve final victory.
"Brother Xiao, how about firing the Sky Patrol's main gun?"
The main gun is a first-level extraordinary orbital gun. It seems to have the same energy level as the suborbital gun, but in fact it is more powerful. After all, the energy intensity is different.
"Don't worry, wait a little longer."
He dispatched troops to nearby battlefields, where other fleets were also engaged in battle with the enemy, each with its own unique situation.
The Linglong Fleet has the greatest advantage. Although its crystal warships are small in size, they are numerous and fast, and can launch rapid strikes against the Imperial Fleet, making it unstoppable.
Xiao Zhen was a little envious.
"My fleet is too bulky. It would be great if it had the speed of the Linglong Fleet."
Chen An was also watching the battle throughout, and his attention shifted to the Linglong fleet.
The fleet of warships was like a swarm of bees, destroying everything in its path, but it also gradually suffered losses. After all, there were too many enemies, and the chaotic laser shots were difficult to avoid.
"Fei Yi, can you control it?"
The flying instrument appeared in a shadowy form and said seriously, "Don't worry, with the Star Domain Network helping me, I can precisely control the course and evasion methods of each crystal warship. However, sometimes evasion is unavoidable, and then there is only loss. Brother, how much loss can you accept?"
"Within ten percent."
"Oh! Is it that big? I thought it was only one percent. Now I feel relieved."
There is no need to worry about Feiyi. Chen An is more worried about other conventional fleets.
He did not doubt the commanders' abilities, but was concerned about whether they could withstand the pressure.
The fleet that suffered the most losses at the moment is Qin Mingguang's fleet, which has lost three frigates and one destroyer.
To be honest, it's impossible not to feel sad, after all, he spent a lot of resources and worked hard to make it.
"How is Qin Mingguang's mood?"
Data scrolled on the screen, followed by a full-body image of Qin Mingguang and various data analyses.
Chen An focused on the curve chart below, which showed that Qin Mingguang's seriousness was in a stage of exponential growth and gradual stabilization.
"This guy wasn't serious at first, but only started to take it seriously after he suffered a loss."
Qin Mingguang's enemy is one of the empire's main fleets, with a total of 600 warships of various types, and even a large number of super-speed swarm fighters that can carry out targeted blasting of enemy warships.
It was because these little gadgets disrupted the situation that Qin Mingguang made mistakes in command.
[Has he been properly reminded?]
"No, he can adjust on his own. If I have to remind him all the time, what's the point of having a commander?"
The commander's role is to relieve Chen An's worries so that he can take charge of the overall situation.
This is one of the reasons why Chen An eliminated Zishu twice. She is unable to do this at the moment.
Chen An slid the screen to call up the war content of other fleets.
The most stable one was Sliven. After all, he was experienced. When the enemy had the upper hand in numbers, he used the nearby meteorites for precise control and destroyed the enemy's warships one by one without any rush.
"Veterans are still the safest bet, but they take too much time and can easily lead to accidents."
"Xia Feng and Chen Guoliang are also good. They play a steady and cautious approach without rushing or panicking."
"Ling Zheng is still too young and has a long way to go in the future."
"Andoro surprised me greatly. Olesgu's description of him as incredibly talented and a natural commander is truly true."
While other fleets were still fighting with the enemy, Andorra's wandering fleet had already destroyed the enemy flagship and launched a one-sided massacre.
"What is Xiao Zhen doing? Is he preparing to retreat?"
Not long before this, Chen An had been paying close attention to Xiao Zhen's war command, whose style was relatively steady, in line with his cautious character.
However, after switching a few scenes, it was discovered that Xiao Zhen was actually retreating rapidly with the main force.
“No losses occurred. What does that mean?”
Out of trust in Xiao Zhen, Chen Ando looked at him for a while longer.
When Chen An discovered the ruins of the fortress in the rear, he suddenly realized.
"As expected of Xiao Zhen, he never misses any useful props around him."
With the help of the destroyed Meteorite Fortress, the fleet circled around and reached the rear.
There was a problem with the enemy fleet's formation, it was too far apart, and the commander failed to adjust it in time.
After Xiao Zhen took advantage of the terrain to make a circle, he actually moved his main force around the enemy's core flank and headed straight for the enemy flagship.
He did not activate the main gun of the sky cruiser, but instead ordered the suborbital guns to fire a salvo, destroying the enemy flagship and surrounding frigates.
Chen An praised: "Xiao Zhen is flexible in combat and his thinking is not constrained. Comparing everyone, Xiao Zhen and Andor have the strongest command abilities, while the others are somewhat inferior."
