Chapter 60 Battle in Orbit
As the interceptor missile exploded in the Union missile group, the gray dots on the radar representing the incoming missiles quickly disappeared like melting snow.
The few remaining missiles were hit into space junk by the beam cannons that had been aimed before they approached the Imperial warships.
"We are about to approach the orbit of the planet Amon." The navigator reported loudly.
Yang Shihe placed his hands on the console and stared at the display screen in front of him:
"Order all warships to start charging their main weapons, and all warships will fire all missiles they carry after entering the attack range!"
"Yes!" The signalman passed the order to the warships in the second fleet.
The muzzles of the main guns of all warships turned obliquely to the side, and a faint red light began to appear in the muzzles.
The blue planet not far away seemed to be within reach, and Li Mingze could already see the white clouds floating on the planet through the hanging window!
The orbit of the planet was densely filled with unmanned artillery turrets, and the silver armor of the space fortress not far away reflected a dazzling light.
"Enter the range! All warships turn left 45 degrees! Main guns fire!" Yang Shihe shouted loudly in the communication channel.
"Received!"
"Received!"
The first and second fleets of the Empire drew arcs in the air, and turned their sides to face the space fortresses and unmanned artillery groups of the Parker Alliance.
Thousands of beams of light gushed out from the main guns of the Empire's warships and flew to the space fortresses not far away. The artillery groups and fortresses of the Alliance also fought back, and also spewed out anger at the Empire's fleet.
"The warships are maneuvering at high speed without rules!"
The Empire's fleet instantly spread out in all directions, and the warships flexibly drew various curves in space.
Compared with the artillery fixed in orbit, the Empire's maneuvering warships are undoubtedly more difficult to hit, and thick red beams of light passed by the Empire's warships.
The beams fired by the Empire's fleet accurately hit the "fixed target" space fortress, and huge gullies were dissolved on the thick fortress armor! People can't help but wonder whether they can survive the next round of salvos from the Empire.
"What is the loss of the fleet?" Li Mingze frowned and asked Yang Shihe and Huo Yun.
"Your Majesty, the Second Fleet lost 2 destroyers and 6 light cruisers." Yang Shihe replied respectfully.
Huo Yun's figure also appeared on the monitor next to him: "Your Majesty, our First Fleet only lost 5 light cruisers."
Li Mingze nodded, this loss was still within an acceptable range.
"Continue the attack!"
"Yes!" "Yes!"
The two fleets of the Empire changed into a semi-encirclement formation to surround the numerous Alliance turrets into a semi-arc circle, and the small beam cannons of both sides fought back and forth.
"Now, all missiles fired!" Li Mingze patted the seat handle and shouted.
The top armor of the warships slowly lifted to both sides, and fusion missiles flew out of the launch slots. (The warships have been revised, and the missile towers have been cancelled)
The Alliance turrets, which have been fighting with the Empire fleet and firing small beam cannons red, did not expect that the Empire still had useless missiles. What they didn't know was that because of the Empire's unique material printing technology, each warship can continuously replenish new missiles during flight.
These missiles violently ejected yellow flames and flew towards the space turret not far away. The unmanned turret with a significantly reduced firing rate could only intercept these missiles with great effort.
Obviously, the interception weapons with a slower firing rate greatly reduced the threat to the missiles. At least one-third of the missiles passed through the enemy's barrage defense line and hit the turret.
A series of flashes lit up, and a large number of unmanned turrets turned into fragments and fell towards the planet behind them. After burning in the atmosphere, they turned into balls of fire.
The people on the planet saw a meteor shower in the sky, and the children who didn't know why were clapping their hands and crying. Only the adults understood that no matter which side the fragments fell from, it meant that the war had come to them!
Sure enough, a shrill alarm sounded in the city soon! One shell after another flew towards the falling turret wreckage.
Because of the hard armor, some huge fragments were not burned by the atmosphere, but melted into a ball and smashed towards the city!
Beams of light shot high into the sky, and missiles flew up from the launch vehicles, but there were too many falling fragments. Many of the fragments that were not intercepted in time smashed into the skyscrapers, and huge flames began to spread above the buildings.
The whole city was full of fires caused by the explosions. Fireboats roared through the air, but there were too many places on fire and it was too late!
The originally boundless clear sky was shrouded in thick smoke!
On the track
The space fortress that had been cooled down once again fired deadly beams at the Empire's fleet. Although most of the warships flexibly avoided these beams, some were cut into several sections by the beams and turned into fireballs.
"Focus on their space fortresses! The energy cannons on the fortresses are too powerful!" Huo Yun discovered the culprit that caused such casualties.
The Empire fleet, which received the order, no longer wasted weapons on numerous unmanned turrets, and turned the turrets to aim at the space fortresses that were cooling weapons.
Thousands of beams of light, accompanied by sporadic fusion missiles, rushed towards the Alliance's space fortresses.
The already shaky fortress armor finally could no longer withstand the fierce attack, and was pierced by energy beams, leaving huge holes.
Violent explosions were heard from the damaged holes, followed by missiles drilling into the holes, making the situation worse.
Accompanied by a burst of excitement, the entire huge and unusual space fortress was blown into more than a dozen sections by the fierce explosion. From time to time, small explosions could be seen from the broken sections. The interior of the entire fortress was melted into a semi-liquid state by the high temperature of the nuclear explosion and then cooled, presenting a deformed state.
In this way, the empire broke through twelve space fortresses in succession. The most difficult bones had been conquered, and Yang Shihe and Huo Yun were relieved.
At this time, on the ground of Amon Star.
The new Alliance Speaker was giving a speech. An eye appeared in his head composed of dozens of tentacles, and he touched the microphone in front of him with the dark tentacles.
"Dear citizens of the Alliance! Three years ago, the evil Sith Empire launched a biological war against us! Countless citizens died in that brutal biological war, and then the Sith Empire launched a war of aggression against us!"
"In just over three years, they have encroached on most of our territory and forced us to this only remaining colony."
"Now, the battle in the planetary orbit is almost over!"
"Our defense line failed to withstand the attack of the Sith Empire! But we will not surrender! Our army will fight to the last man! We will never let our last home fall into the hands of the empire!"
"Long live freedom!"
After saying that, he turned and left the press conference room, walking towards the underground shelter.
