Chapter 1890: Switching from offense to defense
Soon, flames from the attacks began to appear on the hulls of the enemy fleet's interstellar warships.
Beneath those clusters of flames, interstellar warships soon began to fall.
at the same time.
The interstellar drone swarm also rushed to the front lines of the battlefield, launching attacks on high-value targets as well.
He launched all the bombs and ammunition he had brought at once.
A swarm of hundreds of interstellar drones launching a suicidal attack would be enough to destroy an enemy T4-class interstellar warship.
This is an extremely cost-effective deal.
Behind these interstellar drone swarms were interstellar fighters, along with a number of interstellar cruisers and interstellar battlecruisers.
Because of the previous attacks by interstellar cannons, interstellar missiles, and the subsequent swarms of interstellar drones.
This prevented the enemy fleet from simultaneously intercepting these attacking interstellar warships, allowing them to make time.
The starships of these Ash Legion fleets have already rushed close.
Star battlecruisers were the first to be hit.
The T4 Tyrant-class heavy interplanetary missile battlecruiser led the charge.
On the ship's hull, all the missile launch silos were opened, and interstellar missiles were launched with trails of fire.
The firepower of a starship battlecruiser equipped with interstellar missiles in such a short period of time is considerable.
Within the same level, the enemy's starships are practically defenseless.
The defensive line soon encountered significant problems.
Even Star Shield's defenses have encountered numerous problems.
Previously, vulnerabilities had only appeared due to the high-intensity saturation attacks of interstellar cannons and interstellar missiles.
Now, large areas of the Star Shield have dissipated.
This is extremely dangerous for them.
This means they have less and less armor on them.
Meanwhile, another type of T3 Blizzard-class light interstellar battlecruiser was also busy. Relying on their extremely fast speed, they often formed squadrons of a dozen or so.
They specifically seek out high-value interstellar warships, especially those that are damaged but not completely rendered combat ineffective.
The T3 Blizzard-class light starships swarmed forward, unleashing a barrage of saturation firepower.
Even T4 and T5 level starships would be unable to withstand such an attack.
The situation on the battlefield began with chaos at the forward positions of the enemy fleet.
However, this does not mean that the First Legion fleet of Ashes Starcraft has a sure victory.
After all, the enemy had 15 million interstellar warships, while they only had 10 million.
The disparity in the number of interstellar warships remains a significant factor.
Another important point is that...
Starships might be able to launch sustained attacks.
However, this is not the {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} case for interstellar missile ships, as they need to replenish their missiles after they have been launched.
Without the firepower output of interstellar missiles, the firepower intensity on the battlefield will inevitably drop a level.
The opposing military commander will surely seize this opportunity to launch a counterattack.
The wind orchid was well aware of this as well.
She immediately issued a second order.
"From now on, any interstellar missile ship with less than 10% of its interstellar missiles remaining shall be withdrawn from the battle."
Resupply operations are underway.
The interstellar heavy gunship employs tiered fire support.
After completing their attack swarm, the starfighters and star drones prepared to return.
The Blizzard-class light starship battlecruiser returned to port after a swarm of starfighters and stardrones.
The Tyrant-class heavy interstellar missile battlecruiser covered the retreat of other combat units and was the last to return to base.
The remaining combat units, prepare to withstand the enemy's attack.
A quick shift from offense to defense.
This is Fenglanhua's next battle plan.
Now that my interstellar missile ship has run out of interstellar missiles, it needs resupply.
Then I'll switch from offense to defense.
We can just wait for the next round of attacks.
Instead of stubbornly confronting each other head-on.
Perhaps with the powerful combat capabilities of the Xiaolong series interstellar warships, we can win this battle.
However, this will inevitably lead to a series of unnecessary casualties.
That's something the orchid tree wouldn't want to see.
She longed for victory.
However, she also cherished these hard-won interstellar warships.
These interstellar warships are important to the Holy Kingdom of Ash Star.
Meanwhile, the opposing military commander also noticed that the offensive of the First Legion fleet in the Ashes Star System had been greatly weakened.
Meanwhile, the data from the first half hour of the exchange has also been released.
They destroyed fewer than a thousand enemy ships, most of which were T3 Blizzard-class light starship battlecruisers and a small number of T4 Tyrant-class heavy starship missile battlecruisers.
In addition, there are interstellar drone swarms and interstellar fighters.
There were no other gains.
On the other hand, what about them?
Nearly 100,000 interstellar warships perished in this first wave of attacks.
The casualty ratio was hundreds of times that of the enemy's starships?
This battle loss was greater than he had ever experienced.
Although he knew that those interstellar warships of unknown origin were very powerful.
However, that was with the support of T5 and T6 starships.
He never expected that the new interstellar warships taken over by the First Legion of Ash Star would perform so well on the battlefield.
They gave him a real shock.
"Counterattack!"
Launch a counterattack immediately.
Their interstellar missile ships now need to be resupplied with missiles.
Their interstellar heavy artillery ships also cannot sustain saturation attacks for extended periods.
Now is our chance to fight back.
Let's send our entire fleet in.
"Don't give them any chance to fight back or struggle!" the commander roared hysterically into the command channel.
Meanwhile, the First Legion fleet of the Ashes Starcraft was much quieter.
This quietness doesn't refer to the scene itself.
Rather, it lies in the command and control of order.
Those interstellar missile ships that had completed their attack retreated slowly as instructed.
Meanwhile, a dedicated logistical support base had already been prepared in the rear.
There are interstellar supply ships and interstellar transport ships of the JF-17 series.
Since they are using the Xiaolong series of combat-type interstellar warships, they must be equipped with the full set of equipment.
Especially in the area of interplanetary missile ships.
Everyone knows the advantages and disadvantages of interstellar missile ships.
The advantage is the high-intensity burst within a short period of time, but the disadvantage is that after this high-intensity burst ends, the interstellar missile ship without interstellar missiles is just a piece of metal.
How can we resupply the interstellar missiles in the shortest possible time?
This is naturally the most important issue in interstellar missile ship combat.
The answer to this question had already been found in the previous battles of the JF-17 Dragon Fleet.
All they need to do is copy it.
