Chapter 43 Deterrence
One word stirs up a thousand waves.
As soon as Qi Yiming finished speaking, the originally noisy communication channel of the Combined Fleet suddenly became quiet for a few seconds, and then even noisier voices came out.
Most of them were scolding Qi Yiming for overestimating his own abilities.
As the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, Zheng Hu remained silent.
"Zheng Hu, what are you waiting for? You can tolerate such an arrogant person, but I can't... If you don't lead everyone to fight, I will lead everyone to fight!" Liu Jun, the elder of the Liu family, was the first to express his position.
Zheng Hu still didn't speak, but just quietly looked at the people in the small windows divided on the communication screen.
"Fuck... Brothers, Zheng Hu is scared, but I am not! Is there anyone willing to fight with me?"
As expected, many people responded.
So the Zheng family was inexplicably kicked out of the Combined Fleet.
The elders of the Zheng family who came with Zheng Hu wanted to persuade Zheng Hu, but unexpectedly, Zheng Hu smiled contemptuously.
"You are a bunch of ignorant people. Don't come to me when you cry for your parents."
"What does the young master mean?" The elder of the Zheng family looked at his young master in confusion.
"I have dealt with Mr. Qi twice before and after, and I know the combat power of his warship very well." Zheng Hu explained calmly: "And after the Flying Eagle Federation was destroyed, I sent people to find out carefully. The Flying Eagle Federation was indeed destroyed by Mr. Qi alone."
The elder was dumbfounded: "I originally thought that this was just a fabricated news by someone with ulterior motives."
"What's more amazing is that it took Mr. Qi less than a day from the start of the war to breaking through all the defenses of the Flying Eagle Federation!" Zheng Hu said even more incredible information.
"What... less than a day?" The elder didn't know what to say: "Are the fleets of the Flying Eagle Federation all just for show? Isn't Gao Fei known to be invincible?"
Zheng Hu smiled and continued: "The fleet of the Flying Eagle Federation fought a decisive battle with Qi Yiming at the second line of defense, which took 5 minutes. As a result, Gao Fei's nephew died in the battle, and the main fleet of the Flying Eagle Federation was almost completely destroyed."
"This... this is simply incredible..."
"With just these warships, how long do you think we can last under Qi Yiming?" Zheng Hu turned his head and looked at the elder standing beside him.
The elder of the Zheng family used his already limited imagination to deduce the upcoming battle, and he broke out in cold sweat.
On the other side, Liu Jun took over Zheng Hu's command and led the joint fleet to rush towards Qi Yiming.
After leaving the Zheng family's fleet, the combined fleet's combat power declined a lot. Only 8 cruisers, 27 destroyers and 14 frigates, did not even have a decent battle formation and rushed directly to Qi Yiming's Xuefeng and Redemption.
"A small place is a small place. They are not even willing to put more effort into the battle formation..." Qi Yiming did not take the fleet in front of him seriously at all.
Qi Yiming commanded the Xuefeng to move forward slowly, and even did not bother to bring the Redemption.
Wang Sen, who was sitting in the bridge, felt a little guilty. After all, he only heard that Qi Yiming destroyed the Flying Eagle Federation alone.
Wang Sen did not know how the battle went. Facing so many warships rushing towards them, Wang Sen was extremely nervous.
The battle broke out as expected with Wang Sen's nervous breathing.
It was still the old routine, the missiles of the combined fleet opened the way.
When the two sides were 370,000 km apart, Qi Yiming's Xuefeng fired two front and rear backpack main guns at the same time.
In order to be able to strike effectively, the barrels of the two main guns were aimed at a target under the control of the fire control radar.
12 bursting lasers shot out from the thick barrels as the gunner pressed the launch button.
Missile rain and bursting laser beams crossed at the midpoint of the distance between the two sides.
The attack of the Xuefeng seemed so weak and powerless, while the attack of the joint fleet was obviously much more powerful.
"A mere destroyer with such a high density of firepower dared to say that it destroyed the Flying Eagle Federation alone?" Liu Jun couldn't help but smile, "Zheng Hu was defeated twice by such a person..."
Liu Jun looked at the missiles launched by his side with full confidence. He could already imagine the fate of the Xuefeng after being hit by so many missiles.
"I'll let you go crazy... Take your warship to another world and go crazy later!!"
But the expected scene did not happen, and Qi Yiming even felt that dealing with the missile rain that seemed to be scary in number was much easier than before.
Qi Yiming thought about it and understood the reason.
Liu Jun thought that his side had the advantage in numbers and did not organize the array at all.
Although the missiles looked like a salvo, a salvo without careful calculation was simply another attack density.
Generally, a salvo of missiles that was carefully calculated would arrive at almost the same time when attacking the enemy.
This would instantly create great defensive pressure on the defender, and would require a very high firepower density on the defender.
If the density of the barrage fired was insufficient, many missiles would break through the defense network and hit the warship.
Liu Jun only ordered a salvo without making specific requirements for each ship, which resulted in the missiles arriving at the target point in batches.
This made Qi Yiming feel that defense was not difficult. Xuefeng did not even need to start all the power reactors to shorten the charging time of the secondary guns, and easily intercepted all the missiles.
On the other hand, the 12 burst lasers fired by the main gun of Xuefeng on the United Fleet were charged according to the standard combat energy.
Even so, a laser beam sank a destroyer and seriously injured two frigates.
In just one round of attack, nearly half of the warships of the United Fleet were sunk.
Liu Jun's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at the battlefield in front of him in disbelief.
The other captains in the United Fleet were also frightened by this wave of attacks, and even forgot to give the order for the next round of attacks.
Qi Yiming was not the kind of person who would stop firing when he saw the enemy stop firing.
After a period of charging, the main gun fired 12 burst lasers again.
This time the target was the cruisers in the United Fleet.
Qi Yiming was still quite cautious. In order to ensure that there was no chance of error, he prepared two burst lasers for each cruiser this time.
12 burst lasers flew over a distance of 270,000 km under the eyes of everyone and hit the target accurately.
Liu Jun was very unfortunate. He was one of the six targets.
But he was also lucky. The two laser beams that hit Liu Jun's ship did not cause the ship to explode. They only opened two large holes in the hull, causing a large number of casualties. Liu Jun also broke his forehead due to the violent shaking of the hull.
At this time, he was looking at the Xuefeng that was slowly flying towards him with his eyes blank and blood on his face.
The other two cruisers that were not selected immediately turned their bows and prepared to flee the battlefield when the Xuefeng began to approach them.
"Hey... Captains of those two cruisers, I'm aiming at you with my main guns. Try to move again..." Qi Yiming shouted to the two warships again on the public channel.
A new week has begun. The editor gave a recommendation for the website, but no recommendation for the mobile terminal.
I should be out of the market, but it doesn’t matter. I am not a full-time author and I don’t rely on this to support myself. Writing books is a hobby and a way to earn some pocket money. So now the motivation to continue writing is the recommendation votes and comments from all readers. If you have time, please say a few words. If you think a paragraph is well written, please give a recommendation vote.
This book is planned to be more than one million words. The direction of the plot has been determined before submission. The rest is to slowly lay out the plot. This is the first time I plan to write such a long book, so there will be many shortcomings. I hope everyone will understand. Thank you for your attention and encouragement. Thank you, the author! !
