Chapter 195 The Balance of Victory
In short, the Tianqin has almost lost its close defense capability, but it does not affect its defense. Even if the Kuntai civilization has small attack ships, they cannot penetrate the armor of the Tianqin.
As long as the main gun and engine are not directly hit and destroyed, the Tianqin can really dominate the battlefield. However, Yue Yuan did not do so rashly, and the pulling tactics continued.
In short, it is to take advantage of human mobility.
When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy stays, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I advance.
The sixteen gold coins of the great ancestor became the action guide of mankind in the following war.
"General Yue, the bottom of our ship was hit, and the No. 19 laser close defense gun on the outer armor was destroyed."
"Left half rudder, return a shot to it!"
"We have to retreat a distance, too close, their hit rate is a bit high."
The war is still going on. The Lushan ship has fled far away after being damaged. The Tianqin and Huangshan ships have not completely destroyed the fourth formation of the Kuntai civilization, and its main formation of 49 warships has rushed to the battlefield.
This brought the remaining three warships of the fourth formation back from the brink of death. At the same time, it also reversed the disadvantageous situation of Kuntai civilization.
The advantage in the number of Shan-class warships raised the firepower intensity of Kuntai civilization to a high point. Fifty-two warships shuttled back and forth and fired alternately, causing the Tianqin, which was originally a little close, to be hit by several shots in a row.
Fortunately, the Tianqin knew its strengths and weaknesses, and its positioning was good. It was not hit by the engine and main gun, otherwise it would be really finished.
The powerful firepower suppression forced the Tianqin to retreat and look for opportunities again.
After the arrival of its main formation, the Kuntai civilization changed from the original spherical formation to a loose formation. It seems that they also understand that in this environment, forming a large formation is very easy to be hit.
In fact, the Kuntai civilization has now entered the asteroid belt. In the same environment, the best tactic for these 52 warships is to fight a covert war with humans. However, they have limited fuel and have to end the battle in a short time. Therefore, even if they adopt a loose and scattered formation, the goal of the Kuntai civilization fleet is to pursue the Tianqin and Huangshan ships.
The longer the war lasts, the more disadvantageous it is for the Kuntai civilization.
In this case, the Kuntai civilization has to project all available means of attack on the human warships. Of course, in the space war at the first-level civilization stage, the main killing weapons are directed energy weapons or energy cluster weapons, nuclear missiles, electromagnetic rail guns, and positron guns.
Although the Kuntai civilization only has the first three, after the number increases, the firepower has reached a very fierce level. In addition, they are all mountain-level warships, and their artillery caliber and nuclear missile equivalent are also large.
Suddenly, bright spots appeared one after another in the asteroid belt.
The light of the nuclear explosion and the light of the energy cluster illuminated the asteroids hiding in the dark space.
Electromagnetic railguns and nuclear missiles are considered slow weapons at this distance, but they were also used by the Kuntai civilization in the battle.
However, the Tianqin was like an indestructible cockroach. It could not be hit by slow weapons and could not be killed by energy beam weapons. The Kuntai civilization became more and more anxious.
But there was no point in being anxious, because this was a war in which humans had the initiative. Since the discovery of the Kuntai civilization, humans had been preparing.
The tug-of-war tactics were consistently used by humans.
When the war reached the second day, eight of the 52 warships of the Kuntai civilization's main fleet were destroyed by the Tianqin, and two were destroyed by the Huangshan ship.
Manyuemei's Kunlun fleet was always at a disadvantage because it did not have a warship like the Tianqin that could easily resist energy beam weapons, but since it did not need to fight head-on, it was still at ease.
Of course, during the two days of fighting, the Kunlun fleet was also covered with traces of war, and the Danxiashan ship and several Ganymede-class warships were destroyed in the battle.
Two days of fighting filled the space battlefield with all kinds of warship fragments, metal blocks, and broken limbs.
However, neither side gave up, nor was they scared by death.
Until the third day, humans discovered that the actions of the Kuntai civilization fleet seemed to slow down, and their warships were not moving as frequently as before, which greatly increased their chances of being hit.
Such changes allowed humans to achieve results that were almost as good as the sum of the results of the previous two days in just half a day on the third day.
The balance of victory tilted towards humans again.
"Marshal Yue, the maneuvering frequency of the Kuntai civilization's warships has dropped a lot again!" The scientific officer who had been analyzing the actions of the Kuntai civilization's warships shouted excitedly.
"Well, it's obvious that their fuel is running out." Yue Yuan also smiled, but he didn't relax. "Although we're taking advantage of his illness to kill him, we're not in a hurry, everything will remain the same."
The behavior of the Kuntai civilization did look like it was running out of fuel, but for safety reasons, Yue Yuan still didn't wave his hand and let the warships rush over and shoot.
Because there is another possibility, that is to lure the enemy.
The Kuntai civilization had long known that humans knew about their fuel shortage. In this case, it was possible for them to pretend to be out of fuel, lure humans to relax their vigilance and attack them, and then strike back.
Based on this consideration, Yue Yuan chose to conservatively follow the previous strategy and continue guerrilla warfare.
Anyway, if they continued to fight, they would definitely win, so there was no need to take risks. Moreover, since the frequency of Kuntai civilization's maneuvers had decreased, they could just continue to shoot and kill.
Compared to the smiling faces of humans, the flagship of Kuntai civilization was shrouded in dark clouds.
The Kuntai people here have lost their composure. The number of warships is decreasing, and the fuel is about to run out. If this continues, even the energy beam weapons cannot be activated.
"Sir Pierce, we still have ten Queke-class warships left in the residential spaceship cluster. We, we."
Hearing Mo Tuotuo's words, Pierce said silently: "Our 110 warships can't beat the mere ten warships of humans, what's the use of the remaining ten? If we fail, I will become the sinner of the Kuntai civilization, Mo Tuotuo, withdraw the acceleration buffer!"
"No, Sir Pierce, we still have a little fuel, we can still fight" Mo Tuotuo trembled in his voice.
Pierce was silent for a moment, and asked the engine room in the internal channel: "How long can our reactor last?"
"Less than three hours, Sir Pierce." The head of the engine room paused and added: "If we continue to frequently change positions and maneuver, and frequently use energy cluster weapons, then we will only have two hours."
The words of the head of the engine room seemed like the last straw that broke the camel's back, hitting every Kuntai person on the battleship hard.
