The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1284. The Battle of Rendili (10)

Scarred didn't make Rendili wait too long. After he arrived in the Rendili galaxy, he handed over the task of reorganizing and receiving the Planetary Defense Fleet to his classmate, Lieutenant General Jane Dodenna, and immediately launched attack!

According to his observation and understanding, the warships of the half planetary defense fleet led by Master Yoda and Jing Fang can be said to be in a very bad state.

The equipment in these battleships is not enough at all, and it is all kinds of mess. Some ships have crews filled with engineering soldiers, while others, when you walk into the power bay, you just see a few recruits wearing signal armbands poring over thick operating manuals.

Moreover, after these soldiers experienced the previous riots, their morale was low and exhausted, and they had almost lost the will to continue fighting, so they had to receive psychological counseling.

Moreover, the supply and maintenance of these warships were not complete, because when the riots began, many combat readiness materials had not been delivered.

According to the state of these soldiers, Lieutenant General Scarride judged that the situation of the other half of the warships on the side of the Rendili rebels was not much better. But time cannot be delayed. Lieutenant General Jane Dodenne said that he needs three days to complete the reorganization work, so the rebels who rely on the planet Rendili may only need half the time to reorganize their fleet.

So although the task force in his hands only has 20 warships, Lieutenant General Scarred still resolutely launched an assault!

The battleships of the task force he led were all new warships off the production line, and both the equipment and personnel on the warships were in top condition. And with three Knight-class Star Destroyers sitting in command, he believed that those dying old Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were no match at all!

It has to be said that Lieutenant General Scarride, as the new generation of academic generals of the Galactic Republic, still has two talents. The first wave of his attack sent Jesse Darling, the fleet commander of the Rendili rebels, into a panic.

...

"Left wing! Left wing!! Dunburo don't run away! Hold it up! Hold it up!!!" Captain Jesse Darling's growl continued to come from the communication channel.

Darth Malthael frowned.

Even if he is completely ignorant of fleet battle command, he can still hear the problem—the command issued by Captain Jesse Darling is full of meaningless words such as 'hold', 'give me', 'fire with all your strength', etc. meaningful vocabulary.

As for how their fleet should act, how to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses to take advantage of their own warships, how to adjust their formation according to the opponent's arrangement, how to use fighter formations, the timing of missile salvos, etc., Jesse Dahl Lin didn't have any.

Yes, this Jesse Darling is a replaced clone, but what about clones? Should it be an idiot or an idiot, if another one is cloned, it will be an idiot x 2.

Complementing him are the captains of the other battleships. These captains immediately panicked when they saw the Republic Task Force rushing fiercely. If you are more courageous, call me, and then stare blankly at the holographic star map, how do you call? where? That is totally unknown.

Those who are less timid simply command the battleship to turn around and want to run away!

run? Excuse me? The planet Rendili is behind you Where can you run? Running back to hit the planetary shield?

In the face of the messy resistance of the Lundili Planetary Fleet, the Republic Task Force managed to disrupt their formation almost on the first assault. Now as the distance between the two sides is getting closer, I am afraid that when the Republic task force rushes over to complete the breakthrough and the two sides enter a melee, the fleet of Lundili will immediately collapse completely.

In other words, they can't wait for that time.

Boom! ! Darth Malthael's battleship was hit by a turbo laser. Although the deflector shield successfully neutralized the firepower of the cannon, the powerful energy impact still made the battleship vibrate.

"Scan the source of the artillery fire!" Even if he didn't understand space warfare, Darth Malthael knew that the power of this artillery was extraordinary, and it was definitely not fired by an ordinary warship.

"Roger Roger!" A B-1 robot began to operate on the computer, and soon a wedge-shaped battleship image was projected on the screen.

"Imperial-class Star Destroyer?! How is this possible!" Darth Malthael was startled. With insufficient information, he directly regarded the Knight-class as the Empire-class, although the two are quite similar, "The Empire-class is at least Served one to two years earlier! If it is really an imperial class..."

The difference in the quality of warships, the difference in commanders, and...Darth Malthael looked at the holographic star map, the transport ship that was scattered like birds and beasts because of the attack, and the difference in readiness!

Those transport ships are transporting supplementary troops and supplies for the Planetary Defense Fleet, but before the replenishment is completed, the Republic Fleet arrives and immediately launches an attack!

He somewhat underestimated Palpatine's determination. After all, when the Republic dealt with the Lundili incident in the original plot, it did not mobilize the fleet. But this time, Schiff-Palpatine is obviously determined to delay the republic's counterattack, and first resolve the matter that happened between the Interstellar Banking Association and the Lundili Interstellar Power Company.

Of course, whether he underestimated or not is the same thing, and it is impossible for him to bring a fleet commander to Lendili, which is actually the case. After all, these are the cards in the hands of the Lundili Interstellar Power Company and the Ulan Family. There is a thick stack full of numbers, not a single head.

It's just that now, the early arrival of the Galactic Republic task force has made the situation on the planet Lundili even worse.

It will take at least one and a half to two days for Severance Tann's fleet to arrive here. After all, she needs to find loopholes in the Republic's defense system in the complicated hyperspace channels, and then lead the fleet through the Republic's defense zone to the planet Rendili.

But if we look at the current battle situation, the fleet of the Rendili Rebel Army may not be able to last even a day!

Darth Malthael looked at a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser on the holographic star map and was about to turn around and try to run away. As a result, he was hit by an opponent's "Imperial-class Star Destroyer" on the engine behind him, and then a lot of flames emanated from the engine. And thick smoke, the battleship also tilted over and stopped moving.

Less than 10 minutes after the start of the battle, the warships on Lundili's side suffered battle damage!

Two hours at most... Darth Malthael recalculated the time for the fleet to collapse.

He opened the communication of the whole fleet, and said coldly: "All warships obey orders, and organize resistance with the space defense platform as the core! It is strictly forbidden to take a step back! Those who escape from the battle, the first time, execute the adjutant. The second time, directly execute the captain !The above instructions are executed by the death squads of each ship!"

The 'death squads' he was talking about were actually those people who were brainwashed by them with the rebirth medical pod. These people absolutely obey orders, so this time let these people play the role of military police.

In any case, after all, Lundili's defensive fleet has 5 to 60 capital ships and a larger number of small and medium-sized warships. Let alone those exquisite battlefield command, anyway, as long as these warships stand still and fire their firepower, how many Less can also play a role, at least keep a lower limit.

Then, there will be more time to think about countermeasures!
