Chapter 398 Ambush
Monman easily commanded the fleet to fly out of the galaxy. He only needed to care about the condition of the fleet behind him and not let them "fall behind".The automated machinery inside the Habitat creates a lot of metal balls, so that the teaser launch can last for a long time.

"Deputy head, an unknown fleet is found in front of the side, the number is 64."

Just when Monman was in a good mood, the team members next to him reported to him.

This is not good news, Monman immediately ordered: "Immediately display the route of the other party and our fleet, and immediately calculate the route that my fleet avoids."

The screen in front of Monman immediately showed the routes of the two sides, and one could tell that the more than 60 spaceships were coming towards the Longxiang Fleet just by looking at the routes.The calculation results came out quickly, and there were not many directions for the fleet to avoid.

Monman chose a direction to order the fleet to turn. Although this direction deviates from the jump point, as long as the two fleets are left behind, they can adjust their course and continue to go to the jump point.Because Monman discovered that although there were many spaceships blocking the front this time, they were all armed spaceships.

It's not that Monman looks down on armed spaceships. After getting used to battleships, he knows the gap between armed spaceships and battleships. With this speed alone, it is impossible for armed spaceships of the same level to match battleships.Just now, the fleet focused all their attention on the back, ignoring the front, and let these spaceships get closer. There are so many ships on the other side that look menacing, but as long as the fleet is given a little time, they can completely get rid of them.

Monman thought to himself that these armed ships might be the spaceships of the Otto Consortium that Sun Xiang mentioned.These spaceships were supposed to assist the fleet's operations, but unexpectedly they were used for ambushes. It seems that this time Commander Gou Lan has long been determined to catch himself.

The space around the solar system is too stable, and it is difficult to find a suitable jumping point for the ship.Although the Longxiang Fleet spent a lot of time, they found only two jumping points, one of which can only be jumped during the active period.

The fleet commanded by Monman was forced to adjust its course.Although the current heading will not fly farther and farther away from the jumping point, but if the heading is not adjusted, it will never fly to the jumping point.

At this moment, Sun Xiang told Monman a piece of news that was completely unexpected to him through the communicator.

"Mengman, listen to me, there is a fleet of 32 warships directly in front of you. Their flight direction has changed several times, and they are always aimed at the fleet you are carrying. I will send you the data."

Monman is very convinced of Xunyu's ultra-long-range detection capabilities. Hearing Sun Xiang say that there is a fleet ahead, his heart sank, and he ordered shortly: "The fleet has been found ahead, and the captain has sent their data. Immediately Calculate a course to avoid them."

The observer in the bridge saw that the detector did not return any information, and looked at Monman suspiciously, but Zhizhi already had the position, speed and heading of the front team in his brain. Whether he believed it or not, he still directed Zhiman according to the order. The brain calculates the evasive route.

"Deputy head, the calculation result is out, look!" Monman's subordinate said.

Monman frowned as he looked at the flight path calculated by his brain on the virtual screen.The channel shown in green is being compressed every second, and all the navigable channels will be farther and farther away from the jump point. The three enemy fleets seem to know that they will leave the solar system through this jump point, and deliberately block the way to the target position. channel.

Due to the peculiarities around the solar system, if the fleet is driven away from the jump point, it is likely that it will not encounter another jump point for several years.Although the use of source power to provide energy for the battleship does not need to worry about the spaceship's energy depletion, but the crew are all human beings, they cannot directly use energy to survive, and supplies are still needed.

The earth is now in a huge food shortage, and most of the huge amount of food carried in the fleet is given to the coalition government.The remaining food support is fine for a few months, but it may not be enough for more than a year.Even if the fleet has sufficient supplies, but the lure task cannot be completed, what about the fleet ambushing in the Tail star field?The previous plan fell through completely.Monman decided to force a breakthrough.

He personally calculated a route through his brain in front of the command platform.Although this route still deviates from the jump point, Monman felt that as long as he breaks through and advances at full speed, he can reach the jump point with a slight adjustment of the course.The main reason why Monman chose this route is that in this route, he will only meet the opponent's fleet of 32 spaceships, and based on the current speed calculation, the fleets of the two sides will only enter each other's range, and the closest It is only half the distance of the range.

Monman felt that it should be easier to break through the least number of the opponent's fleet, and the contact time between the two sides was very short, which was only enough to fire the main gun two or three times, so the risk should be relatively low.So he issued a series of orders in the way home to get everyone ready.

Seeing the re-changed course of the Longxiang Fleet from the screen, Johnny smiled.For the first time since entering the vicinity of the solar system, he felt relaxed.

Kweed of the Otto Consortium is really powerful, and he found 32 spaceships from nowhere.Although they are the least number of the three fleets, they are all warships with excellent performance, not inferior to the four squadrons under their control.The damn fleet under Sun Xiang wanted to pick a weak point to break through, but this time they miscalculated, they probably picked the strongest point.As long as they can hold them back for a while, the two fleets that arrive later will surely wipe them out.It's a pity why I didn't see that base ship, I don't know where it went!

"Notify Commander Chavey, ask his fleet to speed up, and make sure to entangle the enemy fleet, and we will be there soon." Johnny's mouth slightly raised, and he ordered easily.

The Commander Chavey mentioned by Johnny was found by Kweed, who claimed to be the leader of this massacre mercenary group.However, Johnny checked the information of the Freedom Mercenary Alliance, and found no existence of this massacre mercenary group.Then there is only one possibility, they are black mercenaries.The underground mercenary group often has another identity - the interstellar pirate group, which generally has a very bad reputation.God knows how this mercenary group got 32 warships, so many warships are not a small number, maybe they used some "special" means to get them.

But since Kweed can find them, Johnny doesn't need to be so serious about investigating what this underground mercenary group is doing, as long as they can cooperate with him to complete this task.

After the order was sent out, they quickly received a reply from the Slaughter Mercenary Group accepting the order.In Johnny's view, this underground mercenary group is much more obedient than the fleet controlled by another Otto consortium. They can do all the orders he sent in the past without compromise, which completely overturned his mind. The image of the mercenaries.How does this look like a mercenary?It's almost like the army.This made Johnny a little curious about the fleet.

Curiosity is curiosity, he will not rashly visit the Slaughter Fleet during the mission, at most he will take the opportunity to check the details of this mercenary group after the mission is completed.

As soon as the slaughter fleet accelerated, Sun Xiang immediately told Monman about the situation.Of course Mengman would not sit still. The fourteen warships of the Longxiang Fleet were not advancing at full speed, especially the ten small warships did not even increase their speed at all. Now that they were going to flee for their lives, of course it couldn't be the same as before.

"Full speed ahead!"

After Monman gave an order, the Longxiang Fleet immediately distanced itself from the fleet behind it slowly, and rushed towards the 64 armed spaceships of the Monman Fleet obliquely. Their speed was even worse. Although they were relatively close to the Longxiang Fleet, they Soon they went from flanking to chasing.

The detectors of the warships of the Longxiang Fleet finally scanned the fleet that was approaching rapidly from the side.As the two sides approached, Monman quickly identified that the 32 spaceships that suddenly appeared were all warships, and the models of these warships were very familiar.Large battleships, fortress-type attack ships, medium-sized battleships, steel rock-type general-purpose warships, and small battleships, gust-type frigates, all of these battleships are in the Longxiang Fleet, and they know their performance thoroughly.

The speed of the fleets of both sides is accelerating, and the side of the Longxiang fleet has to withstand at least three attacks from the opponent's main guns. This is a test of life and death for the Longxiang fleet.

Monman thought over the pros and cons, and with the speed of ten small warships, he could completely escape the interception of the opponent's fleet in advance, but in that case, the four large warships would have to bear the firepower of all the opponent's warships. In the three salvos, the four large battleships of the Longxiang Fleet will definitely suffer losses.If ten small battleships follow the fleet, when the two fleets meet, these ten small battleships can share part of the firepower, and the large battleships still have the possibility of loss, but this probability will drop a lot, but the ten small battleships are likely to suffer heavy losses.

Dilemma, Monman finally decided to pass the entire fleet through the interception point.Because he is also on the small battleship Homeward, if he makes another choice, it is likely that the mercenaries on the four large battleships will have some ideas, and these four large battleships are the main force in the battle. Only by suffering losses can we have more strength in the upcoming ambush.

"All ships turn on the maximum defense output."

The two fleets are getting closer, Monman ordered calmly.The encounter between the two fleets will not be bow to bow, but the slaughter fleet will insert at the Longxiang fleet at a large angle.Since the Slaughter Fleet rushed towards the Longxiang Fleet at high speed, when they slowed down and turned around, and then accelerated again, they could only follow behind the Longxiang Fleet.

During this process, the fleet controlled by Monman can only use the firepower from one side of the ship to shoot at the enemy, but the slaughter fleet can fully exert the firepower of the fleet, but the time to fully exert it is limited, that is, the two times when the main guns are recharged. time.Even so, the situation of Longxiang Fleet is still extremely bad.

In view of this situation, Monman simply let the entire fleet focus on defense, trying to survive the enemy's attack.

The captains of the Longxiang Fleet obeyed the order to open the shields with all their strength, and they also knew that whether they could pass through the enemy's shooting area or not was entirely dependent on luck.
