Chapter 16: Counterattack

Seeing this scene, Mahrez's brows furrowed deeply. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He also finally understood where Renault's confidence lies, there is such a powerful force, as long as he is willing, not to mention completely defeating himself, which fleet he wants to leave behind, there is absolutely no possibility of escape.

But the commanders under Mahrez are all very experienced non-commissioned officers, and before these high-heat weapons attack the Skythunder, they will instantly step forward to form a shield wall and protect it.

It's just that under this powerful attack, the energy shield that formed a shield wall was like a bucket that leaked to the bottom in an instant, and it didn't take long for the energy shields of several conventional starships to be a little overwhelmed.

If they are allowed to continue to attack, they will be in a very bad position.

And now Mahrez also understands a basic truth, even in terms of firepower, the other side has an overwhelming advantage.

This will probably be the most difficult battle he has ever faced since he returned from the front line.

But here in Mahrez, there is never a word for submission.

"Hurry up and gather some firepower." Mahrez shouted.

"Got it, General, wait a minute."

"Now that they have collected about eighty percent of their firepower, they have reached the firepower of two hundred and twenty conventional starships, but it is clear that they are not only ...... this way."

"I know, I don't need you to tell me, I just want the final result." Mahrez yelled in displeasure.

They haven't been in contact with real war for a long time, so that these people under Mahrez are clumsy, and they drop their chains at critical times, if it was in the battle with the Zerg in the early years, this kind of slowly swallowing subordinates would have been thrown into the logistics department a long time ago.

"The general's firepower collection has reached the firepower of two hundred and fifty conventional starships, and this Renault is much more powerful than the information obtained from our data."

"General, after collecting the firepower, the firepower of two hundred and seventy-four conventional starships, this is the firepower he showed this time, I don't know if he has any other hidden firepower." The team leader in charge of statistics looked at Mahrez with some concern.

The enemy was stronger than they expected, and even Mahrez was not as sure as he had been.

"Generals, I don't know such strength, can I ask you to surrender?" Renault asked with a smile again.

In fact, the Heart of Liberty now only has four Overlord-class starships, three Warrior-class starships, twenty-six Guard-class battleships, one hundred and thirteen conventional frigates and ten advance ships, and these starships together only have the firepower of two hundred and fifty-eight conventional starships, and there is no way to reach more than two hundred and seventy firepower.

But the fleets of the free heart obviously cannot be measured by normal fleets, because the particularity of their entire fleet makes them destined to attack and defend weakly.

In fact, the production line of the Free Heart is temporarily unable to produce some high-precision parts, and can only produce turrets. This makes their modifications of their own starships different from other starships.

In many cases, they will add several turrets on their decks to enhance their firepower, and even consciously dismantle some defensive devices to load turrets, which makes the fleet of Free Heart more powerful than ordinary people.

With such a powerful firepower, Hansen and Abel also saw it clearly, so they remained silent when they faced Renault shouting to surrender again.

Mahrez, the only one still fighting, turned a very ugly face.

"Before the fight really started, do you know that we are really defeated? Throughout the major battles of the Federation. There are countless cases of winning with less, Renault, do you think you really won? Don't even think about it until you destroy me completely, I won't surrender. Mahrez roared angrily.

It was these three lieutenant generals who talked to Renault from beginning to end, or Mahrez alone, and Abel and Hansen were not ready to fight Renault after they understood Renault's strength.

And the commanders of the other three sub-fleets, Gary, Smith, and Henry, are only one colonel, and in front of these three vice admirals, although they have their own power to command the fleet, they do not have much right to speak.

So both sides involuntarily ignore them.

"General Mahrez, you know that I was once part of the Federal Fleet, and until now I have a special affection for the Federal Fleet. I am reluctant to cut the strength of the Federation fleet too much unless absolutely necessary, this is undoubtedly doing the alien race a favor. And why do you have to fight me? I'm just a persecuted soldier who just wants some justice. Renault shook his head and said helplessly.

Hearing Renault's words, Mahrez was silent for a while, he naturally knew about the miasma of hookup in the federal government, otherwise he would not have been driven away from the front line, so that he had the means and nowhere to use.

"Because of the order!" Mahrez suddenly spoke, "Because I am a soldier, I must carry out all the orders I have received. I'm not going to bother with anything else, I'm going to do my best to carry out my existing orders, and I'm going to shine in my post while I'm still able to move. ”

Renault was stunned when he heard this, he was not wrong, but Mahrez was not wrong. He's just doing what a soldier should do.

It's just that it is clear that the federal government did not see the excellence of this general, and did not put him on the front line to shine, but just left him on Leicester, the supreme commander of the garrison fleet, doing trivial things every day.

"So, you can only compete with one high?" Renault sighed.

"Let the horses go." Mahrez said in a deep voice.

After having the other party's accurate answer, Renault no longer stopped and gave the order directly. More than a hundred starships fired dazzling lasers in unison, blasting towards the unreachable depths of space.

Because the distance between the two sides is too far, if the railguns and electromagnetic guns launch an attack, the ballistic will take too long to arrive, and by the time the bullets arrive, I am afraid that the war will be over, and even if it is not over, the other side will have enough time to evade and counter the missile.

Therefore, in ultra-distant battles, only high-power laser cannons and particle beam cannons can be used, and these weapons that travel at the speed of light are faster and more difficult for the opponent to dodge.

In the face of this situation, the Leicester fleet on the other side directly set up a formation, defended with a huge energy shield as the leader, and then accelerated its speed and sailed in the direction of Rafadiman.

In this special situation, if you want to defeat the other party, you must close the distance between the two sides, and then really fight it. It is best to put a gun together, and it is best to send a space mecha, so that even if the starship in front of them is seriously damaged, it may not be impossible to win the battle later.

On the other hand, Abel and Hansen saw this situation and had to give an order, and the fleet began to rush forward with Mahrez.

It's just that no matter how fast they are, during the time they advance, there will always be attacks pouring out from the front, pressing the Leicester fleet with the greatest pressure.

The pressure on the starship at the front of them was also very high, and it didn't take long for the energy to run out, so they could only retreat to the rear and be topped by other starships.

At this time, Mahrez stared at the starship's probe and asked, "How is the contact collection and simulation going?" ”

"General, I've already done part of it."

"Can't wait any longer, the enemy's fire is too fierce, and it is necessary to immediately counterattack and suppress part of their firepower with firepower."

The next moment, the starships of the Leicester fleet unexpectedly fired their cannons into the void. If you pay attention, you will find that the angles of their attacks are exactly the same as the angles from which Renault launched their attacks.
