The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1303. Rendili's Ending (Part 2)

Now that the battle has been fought, the technical data of the Conqueror-class battleship is actually very clear to the Galactic Republic. Including the number of main guns, the power of the main guns, and the shield capacity, these data can be scanned repeatedly on the battlefield, and relatively accurate data will soon be obtained.

The data of the most important technical parameter of the Conqueror-class battleship - the high-energy directional ion pulse gun, was also recorded.

After all, at that time, the two super warships, the Fang and the Plague, successively cast too much shadow on the Galactic Republic. Therefore, in order to speed up the construction speed, many data of the Conqueror-class second ship Destroyer, which has not been greatly modified in all aspects, are also very clear to the Republic military.

Especially the range, rate of fire of the ion pulse cannon, and the diffusion speed and range of the pulse wave. These key data have also been mastered by the military of the Republic through many studies and scans.

It should be noted that the high-energy directional ion pulse cannon used by the Conqueror-class battleship is actually not a light-speed weapon. The name of this weapon is preceded by a 'direction', which is actually a definition of the weapon's attributes. The electromagnetic pulse itself is diffuse, but if it is to become directional, then magnetic field confinement is required.

So in fact, the flight speed of the pulse emitted by the directional ion pulse gun is equal to the moving speed of the electromagnetic field, which is actually not fast. At least in the hands of top Jedi Knights like Anakin Skywalker, it is still possible to get away with driving a spaceship to maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Trinald Scarred has calculated the range of the directional ion pulse cannon of the opponent's battleship Destroyer in the battles near the planet Rendili in the past few days, and it has been tried and tested. As soon as the Doom fired, he outflanked it, forcing the opponent's warship to retreat to cover the Doom.

After all, the biggest weakness of the Conqueror class is the large number of main guns but insufficient power, and the small number of carrier-based aircraft, which makes it difficult to cope with the bombing of large-scale fighter groups.

For a while, even when facing the famous general who made the military of the Galactic Republic look pale - Severance Tann, Scarred also showed confidence. He began to think that it was not that Tann was too strong, but that he was too strong. Because the genius himself has not yet had a fair chance to compete with Tann on the same stage.

Now's his chance, and under direct confrontation, it seems that Tann is no more than that.

Therefore, this time, Lieutenant General Skarid is still fully prepared for the sudden change of the Rendili defensive fleet. He does have the strength to match his confidence, and he immediately judged that the opponent's change of formation should be to focus the firepower on both sides of the formation, and it seems that he wants to deal with his side when the ion pulse cannon on the Destroyer fires. Tactical maneuver.

"All warships, keep a distance and maneuver to the right! They want to divide their troops into two wings, so I will concentrate on attacking one side!" Lieutenant General Scarred said sharply, "Croso! Your position cannot be avoided! Stop advancing immediately , all energy is supplied to deflector shields and anti-pulse devices, ready to resist the impact!"

"yes!"

However, just as he gave the order and the Republic Task Force under him started tactical maneuvers, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly an extremely bright flash of light lit up!

"General! The ion pulse cannon that detected the enemy ship Destroyer opened fire!!" The soldiers in the sensing department screamed.

"What?!" Scared turned pale in shock, rushed over and grabbed the soldier's hair and asked loudly, "According to the previous scan results, what is the charging rate of the Doom's ion pulse cannon?!"

"If the recharging speed of the Destroyer was used before, they haven't finished recharging at all!" The soldier quickly replied.

"Fire at half charge?" Scared suddenly had an ominous premonition. Judgment position! Recalculate immediately!"

However, before he could finish his sentence, an extremely dazzling light shot from all the portholes of the battleship! Immediately afterwards, all the electronic systems in the Knight-class Star Destroyer he was in began to flicker violently!

"Bastard! The Destroyer is coming in my direction! Immediately increase the energy supply of the counter pulse system!" Lieutenant General Scarred said loudly.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the adjutant pointing to the holographic combat star map and saying: "General! Something is wrong! The formation of the opponent's fleet has changed!"

Lieutenant General Scared turned his head suddenly, only to see that on the holographic combat star map, the situation of the fleets of both sides has completely changed!

According to the previous changes in the formation of the two fleets, the Rendili Defense Fleet is expanding the battleships into a four-claw shape with the Destroyer as the core, while the Republic Fleet is constantly spreading out the battleships and moving all the battleships to one side.

If this trend develops, then it is very likely that one wing of the Rendili defensive fleet suffered a concentrated impact from the Republic fleet, and had to call back warships from other directions to assist, so that the formation was disrupted again. The plan to attack the Republic Fleet with the powerful directional ion pulse cannon of the No. 1 will fail again.

But now, the Doom opened fire earlier than expected! At this time, the turn of the Destroyer was not completed, and it was actually biased towards the other side of the Republic Fleet formation. At the same time, the Lundili Defense Fleet battleship, which seemed to be a little messy in organizing the attack, at this moment But they have all unknowingly entered a completely different attacking position!

And while the Destroyer was firing, the Rendili defense fleet assembled the 5 most powerful warships - 4 Victory I-class Star Destroyers and 1 Knight-class Star Destroyer previously captured by Darth Malthael Ship, directly launched a surprise attack on the Republic Fleet! And the route they launched the surprise attack was originally the attack range of the ion pulse cannon that Scarred and the others expected!

Now, as the ion pulse cannon fires before it is fully charged, the attack range is also reduced, which is equivalent to the direction where the five star destroyers started to attack, which happens to be the direction that the Republic warships avoided before!

They pierced directly into the formation of the Republic's special service fleet like a sharp sword, and restricted the movement of the Republic's flagship with ion pulse cannons.

The formation of the Republic Fleet was divided into two, and about one-third of the warships were blocked by the Rendili Defense Fleet, while the remaining two-thirds of the warships were still maneuvering in one direction as originally planned. further and further! If they want to support, they must first complete the U-turn, and the other warships of the Rendili Defense Fleet obviously cannot let them leave so easily!

Doom is fully fired! 500 medium-sized turbo laser cannons poured firepower wildly at the two Knight-class Star Destroyers on the Republic Fleet side! And the 4 Victory I-class ships and 1 captured Knight-class ship aimed at the 6 solitary Jaeger-class battlecruisers, and fired fiercely!

In the direction of the main gun position above the hull of the Knight-class Star Destroyer, 20 heavy turbolaser cannon turrets on the starboard side began to turn, aiming at one of the Jaeger-class! As for the Hunter class, which is facing the enemy head-on, only 4 turrets in this direction can fight back!

Following the captain's order, the 20 heavy guns on the starboard side of the Knight class with odd numbered turrets fired a salvo! Five seconds later, the even-numbered turrets fired again!

Two salvos of the main guns were fired, and the powerful power instantly shattered the hunter-level deflector shield!

At the same time, the battleship Destroyer also assigned 180 turrets to aim in this direction. Although the densely packed medium-sized turbolaser cannons have limited damage to the deflector shield, they can deal with the single-layer armor of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser. Play a very significant effect!

Under the continuous bombing, countless bursts of flames exploded on the upper part of the Jaeger-class ship, the main gun position on the port side was destroyed, a large hole was blown out of the hangar platform, billowing smoke billowed out, and the battleship began to try to turn and escape. But in the chaos, he rammed into another Jaeger class!
