The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

514. The Battle of Geonosis (4)

The formation of the 20 cheerer-class assault landing ships changed immediately, the flagship Indomitable was in the middle, the other 7 battleships led by the Majestic and the Prosecutor launched an assault, and the remaining 12 battleships full of clone troops were provided in the rear. fire support.

The Cheers-class Assault Landing Ship is not just a landing ship, they are also very powerful warships.

The heavy-duty turbolaser turret installed on the side of the Cheer-class began to turn, aimed at the 10 Generosity-class communication frigates that had also deployed in front, and fired directly!

Brilliant and thick explosive laser beams were launched instantly, lighting up the dark universe.

"Retaliate immediately! Don't let the Republic's fleet get close to our transport ship!" On the bridge of a Rucrehook-class battleship that is the flagship of the Federation of Independent Galaxy, General Grievous roared and gave instructions.

Fleet Commander Trabo was in a cold sweat. He carefully deployed his 10 Generosity-class frigates, trying to block the Republic's Cheer-class assault landing ship, dragging the battle into a long-range artillery battle.

But the commander of the Republic, Mabel Garson, did not give him this opportunity at all. The seven cheerers rushed forward, turned on the engine thrust to the maximum, and concentrated the energy of the shield in front, and the huge body of the cheerers began to move forward. Accelerate, and hit the formation of the Confederate Fleet of the Independent Galaxy!

At this moment, the white light of hyperspace jump appeared again on the edge of Geonosis planet, and then 6 Mel-class cruisers broke away from the jump and appeared here. This kind of cruiser is 195 meters long. Although it is not big, it is flexible and has strong firepower.

At the same time, a communication was connected to the bridge of the Indomitable, and a Ferolin with an octopus-like head appeared on the screen, "We are the Locke Avengers, and we are here to hunt down the Sabos battle group. Do you need any help?"

Mabel Garson's hand quickly slid across the console, and countless data came into view, "The Locke Avengers, the pirate organization, and the leader Nym, have been robbing the fleet of the Trade Federation in recent years. Given your In the past, you were allowed to join the fight. Please take cover on the flanks so our fleet can break through the defenses of the planet Geonosis."

"I just want to cause some trouble for the trade alliance, and wipe out the Sabos group!" Nim said.

"Then you've picked a good time. The Sabos Chapter is fighting the Jedi in the atmosphere of the planet Geonosis," Mabel Garson said.

"That's it!" Nim finished, and began to direct the six Mel-class cruisers on his side to attack from the flanks.

The fleets of the two sides kept approaching, and then Mabel Garson gave an order, and all the Cheer-class assault landing ships opened their hangars, and a large number of V-19 Torrent fighter jets took off, rushing over like locusts!

Seeing that the Republic took off fighter jets, Nim's Locke Avengers also took off dozens of H-6 Havoc fighter-bombers. This is an excellent fighter-bomber designed and manufactured by Nubian Engineering Company.

But at this time, the warships on the Confederate side lost more than half of their fighter jets due to the previous rush of Jedi knights, and many fighter jets entered the atmosphere to support the battle there. Faced with the Republic fleet taking off more than 400 V-19 Torrent fighter jets with excellent performance, it was completely caught off guard!

Under the command of Melb Garson, the Republic Fleet rushed directly into the formation of the Confederate Fleet at the fastest speed. Melb Garson, who graduated from the Republic Naval Academy, made full use of the Cheer-class as a landing ship. The characteristics of strong firepower rushed into the formation of the Confederate fleet, turning the battle into a chaotic battle.

The commander of the Confederate Fleet, Terbo, did not expect the action of the Cheer-class assault landing ship at all. Instead, he was thrown into disarray by the impact of the Republic V-19 Torrent fighter jets. Taken to its own pace by the fleet of the Republic.

Taking advantage of the entanglement of the eight cheerers ahead and the Confederate fleet, the battle situation was clearly projected into the command center.

The fleet of the Confederation of Independent Systems was completely unable to withstand the offensive of the Republic fleet, and Mabel Garson's tactics made Tribo at a loss.

The confederation of independent galaxies is mainly the outer ring star region of the Milky Way. There are basically no naval academies in the galaxies within this range. The commanders of the confederation, except for the self-taught genius like Trench, are mostly self-taught. , apart from yelling and rushing to me, there is no adaptability to the battle situation at all.

Unfortunately, Telbo is that kind of person. He was originally the commander of the collection fleet of the trade union, and usually bullied those planets that had no industry and no army. Really let him compare with Mabel Garson, an officer who graduated from the formal Naval Academy of the Republic, and judge him.

Although the Galactic Republic has basically abandoned military force since the Lusan reform, the military officer training system that has been passed down for thousands of years immediately showed a gap in such details. Even though Mabel Garson, the tactical advisor of the Republic, was an officer who followed the scriptures, he was still not comparable to a debt collector like Terbo.

What's more, there is Master Yoda personally sitting in the town.

If you open the distance and bombard, the firepower of the Cheerer-class assault landing ship is still far behind that of the Generosity-class, but when the two sides fight in a melee, the disadvantages of the Generosity-class communication frigate with the main guns concentrated on the front are obvious.

General Grievous also lost sight of the other, because at this time the Rookiehook-class battleships he could directly command were completely immobilized and loading the robot army. 20 cheerer-class assault landing ships made a desperate raid.

This made Grievous, who had experienced many battles, feel a strong sense of powerlessness for the first time, and the feeling of being powerless made him almost go crazy.

"Terbo! Take care of your fleet, keep the distance! Keep the distance!!" General Grievous yelled in the communication. After finding out that Turbo's fleet was not working, he began to mobilize fleets from other directions to move forward. Come to support.

He never expected that the Republic Fleet would be so difficult, nor did he expect that the famous general and that genius launched by those corporate giants would be so unbearable.

Mabel Garson saw that the Confederate fleet was fighting on its own, completely out of formation, and ordered decisively: "Break through the formation of the Separatists and land on the planet Geonosis!"

The 12 Hurricane-class assault landing ships loaded with clone troops immediately began to press on, and the stronger firepower made Terbo's fleet completely lose sight of one another.

At the same time, Tang Xiao, who was watching Obi-Wan's public execution in the arena, looked at the communicator, and sent a message:

attack!
