Several large-caliber armor-piercing shells hit the Destroyer gunship in succession, and its shield suddenly flashed, weakening the energy on the armor-piercing projectile, and ejecting the projectile that had lost most of its kinetic energy.

Then, the front of the Destroyer gunship lit up, and the crimson energy mass was gathered in just three seconds, and then, while detaching from the bow energy gathering device, the huge energy mass automatically split into more than a dozen small energy clusters of similar size, turning into meteors, and pounced on the two human destroyers that were firing at it while sailing at high speed to avoid being locked on—none of the plasma shells could hit them.

After a round of firefighting, the distance between the two sides was much closer, shortened to 5,000 kilometers. At this distance, the velocity of the main assault weapons of both sides can hit the target in time after firing.

Eight space torpedoes were fired and flew straight towards the Destroyer gunboat. The gunboat then turned its attack on the torpedoes, and the images of the torpedoes being blown to pieces were still impressive, and the Sijing people on the gunboat did not plan to test whether the shields and armor could withstand the attacks of these space torpedoes, even if there were only eight of them.

The Destroyer gunboat urgently fired plasma shells to intercept torpedoes, successfully destroying five of them, and the remaining three torpedoes also successfully hit the gunboat, and after a flash of the gunboat's shield, the brightness dimmed a little, and the explosion of the torpedo greatly weakened the shield energy.

Railgun shells followed, making the shield of the last Destroyer gunship crumbling even more.

The destroyer gunship of the Sijing people has quite powerful weapons, and the plasma shells fired by its main launcher are not even weaker than the main guns of the planetary assault mothership, but this kind of starship, which is more than four hundred meters long, has one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, it has no secondary artillery.

The entire ship has only one weapon station at the bow of the ship, which can be fired at a high frequency, and the plasma shells fired can be dispersed into a large number of small shells to cover an area, or they can be condensed into a huge energy mass to destroy large targets. But it just doesn't have the rest of the armament.

In the face of the Higra-class destroyers, which are more maneuverable and more agile in comparison, it is difficult to hit human destroyers with plasma weapons that do not reach the speed of light, not to mention that even if they want to cover all the routes of the opponent, a gunboat with only one gun will not be able to do it.

In the case of only one gun, if the destroyer gunboat has a numerical advantage, it is actually not a problem, it only takes a few gunboats to form a crossfire to block the destroyer's channel, but now, when this Sijing fleet has only one destroyer left, it is very difficult to deal with the destroyers running around, even if the two destroyers have already knocked out one-third of their own shells, and the torpedoes are only one salvo left, they have not been able to destroy the gunboat.

As a last resort, the destroyer gunboat moved closer to the destroyer again, the closer the two sides, the higher the hit rate of the plasma cannon, as long as it can hit one shot, at least it can seriously damage the fragile destroyer, and then there is only one destroyer left, it is easier to deal with - this is the best choice for the Sijing people on the gunboat at the moment in addition to evacuating.

The human crews on the two destroyers are all elites, so they naturally understood the purpose of the enemy to accelerate towards them, and immediately responded, and the two destroyers, who had originally tried to maintain a formation, lifted the formation, drew an arc in space, and surrounded both sides of the destroyer gunship on the left and right - as long as it can rush to both sides of the destroyer, the Sijing gunship with only one main gun will lose any way to attack them!

Since the Destroyer gunship was already accelerating, in the face of the hedge of the human starship, even if they discovered the intentions of the two destroyers, they would not have time to change it, and it could only choose another way to deal with such a bad situation.

Just as the two sides were about to cross over, the destroyer began to slow down, ready to get close to the Destroyer gunboat, and after walking with it, either destroy it with its naval guns, or send people to land and occupy it, the Destroyer gunboat suddenly made an emergency change of direction and crashed headfirst into the Higra-class destroyer to its left!

If the Void could transmit sounds, there would be a huge, piercing sound of metal shattering and twisting, and perhaps deaf to those who heard them up close—the Higra-class destroyer, numbered SDD-57, had been smashed in two by the Destroyer gunship, which was a circle larger than it......

Although there was no violent explosion on the spot, there were still flashes of fire at the fracture, accompanied by various items and human bodies in the ship, and the DD-57 destroyer completely lost its combat capability, and the survivors activated their escape equipment and began to abandon the ship.

The last destroyer, SDD-44, after discovering that the friendly ship was directly destroyed by the target, went crazy and desperately urged the emergency rocket vent to widen the distance between itself and the destroyer gunship - before trying to get closer, but now it only wants to get as far away as possible, it can only be said that the situation on the battlefield is changing, and accidents are accidents.

Of course, after the collision of the Sijing people's gunship, it is impossible for itself to be completely unharmed, although it hit the central area of the human destroyer with the bow, but the thick tip structure on both sides of the bow of the ship is still broken, and the armor on the surface also appears to be peeling off in large pieces - this also proves that this destroyer gunship has completely lost its shield.

At the end of the collision, the destroyer SDD-44 was a little frightened after opening up the distance between it and the Sijing gunboat, and the shooting of the Sijing gunboat also paused and delayed, and the people on the ship were very shocked by the combat mode of the Sijing gunboat, they never thought in advance that they would encounter this kind of combat that is rare in modern surface warfare in space warfare.

Although there are often starship collision scenes in those science fiction movies, science fiction movies are just science fiction movies after all, and as the first people to participate in space warfare, they never thought that they would encounter the scenes that appeared in the movies in reality.

It's just that the people on the SDD-44 are even more surprised that after crashing into a human destroyer, the Sijing gunboat did not turn to continue to engage them, but instead maintained an accelerated state and headed in the other direction.

That direction is not the direction where you can safely evacuate, but the battlefield where the two Kodiak-class battle cruisers of the human fleet are engaged with the two Sijing planetary assault motherships!

While the two human destroyers engaged the Sjing Destroyer gunship, the two Kodiak-class battle cruisers were also engaged in a fierce battle with the two planetary assault motherships.

Unlike the engagement between auxiliary ships, the battle between the four capital ships is more intense and longer.

Thanks to the fact that they have more firepower projection equipment than the destroyers, the two battle cruisers have used their firepower to the extreme from the very beginning of the engagement, with a large number of railgun shells and powerful lasers constantly firing at the planetary assault mothership!

Although the power of high-energy rays is stronger than that of railguns and powerful laser cannons, the planetary assault mothership of the Sijing people, as its name suggests, is still positioned as a battle carrier with the release of fighter groups as the main strike weapon, and those powerful weapons are only used for self-defense, similar to the idea of aircraft-carrying combat ships designed by one of the two poles of the Cold War.

Of course, the planetary assault mothership is a little better than the destroyer gunship, in addition to the carrier aircraft on the ship and the high-energy ray weapons at the bow, there are also many secondary weapons around the hull, which can fire laser or plasma bombs for self-defense, although the power is not very great, but in the current situation where everyone is completely catching each other and tearing each other apart, their performance is much better than that of the gunboat, at least they will not be beaten and unable to fight back.

Although the Kodiak-class battle cruiser only has a force field generator installed later, and its protection ability is far from being comparable to that on the Sijing starship, for them, as long as they are not hit by the high-energy ray weapons of the planetary assault mothership, they don't have to worry too much about how to fight the rest of the secondary weapons on the planetary assault mothership, and the power of those secondary weapons is not enough to break through the shield of the battle cruiser in a short period of time and penetrate its armor to achieve the goal of sinking the battle cruiser.

Although it is an old design, the Kodiak class is also an old and strong battlefield veteran, and it is not so easy to take out - as long as it is not a high-energy ray of the opponent.

On the contrary, they have a battery design with their main guns, and under such a struggle, some of them suppressed the planetary assault mothership - who called the planetary assault carrier to release all the carrier aircraft to chase down the destroyer formation before, and then sent to assist the super carrier ship against the human main fleet. In terms of sideways firepower, human starships have a considerable advantage.

And when the last Sijing gunship, which crashed into the human destroyer with ramming tactics, rushed into the capital ship engagement area, it happened that a human Kodiak-class battle cruiser used a 600mm magnetic rail main gun to continuously bombard, making his opponent's planetary assault mothership shield overloaded, and just disappeared, and only needed to continue to attack with artillery for a while, and it was not a suspense that the planetary assault mothership was destroyed.

At this time, I saw the Destroyer gunboat rushing into the battlefield at high speed, rushing towards the battle cruiser, and at the same time, the plasma cannon in the bow of the ship also began to recharge!

Originally, I thought that this gunboat was here to serve as a meat shield for the planetary assault mothership that had lost its shield, so the subsequent shooting data was calculated in advance according to this direction The battle cruiser crew, only then did they react that the other party was planning to use the heavy plasma cannon on the bow of the ship to directly carry out a storage attack on the battle cruiser!

Unlike the natural people on those destroyers, these clones who control the capital ship and have dealt with the Sijing people many times know very well that if they are hit by the Destroyer's gunship's charged attack, even if they are hit, the result is no different from being hit by a high-energy ray, the Kodiak class can't resist that powerful plasma cannonball at all, and neither can the new model of sea behemoth!

It was too late and impossible to destroy the Destroyer gunship before it could be fired, so they had to give up a good chance to attack the unshielded planetary assault mothership, and make an emergency evasion in advance to dodge the plasma shells that were about to fire at them.
