Chapter 47 Raid
After the military meeting, everyone started to prepare separately.
Hao Chenqi and his wife also knew at this time that they would command the Redemption to go with Zheng Hu.
"Remember your mission, be responsible for providing strong support to the fleet, and the Redemption must not rush to the front of the fleet." Qi Yiming looked at the couple sternly.
Hao Chenqi nodded: "Captain, please rest assured, we know what to do."
"Well, I have specifically told Zheng Hu that he will take special care of you."
Qi Yiming is not afraid that Zheng Hu will sell the Redemption, because Zheng Hu knows clearly that if he deliberately sells the Redemption, Qi Yiming will definitely let their Zheng family die before leaving the Xuanwu Star Region.
In addition, the Redemption's powerful ability to repair armor after the war will also prompt Zheng Hu to protect the Redemption.
According to the plan, Zheng Hu will lead a full fleet and the Redemption to set off first.
Qi Yiming will set off half a day later and rush to the border of the Xuanwu Star Region from another direction.
Two days later, Zheng Hu will come into contact with the vanguard of the Imperial Fleet. After a brief contact with the other party, Zheng Hu will lead the fleet to retreat to the original territory of the Zheng family.
Zheng Hu's return to the Zheng family's territory is considered to be his home field. He will use his understanding of the environment in the galaxy to lead the Imperial Fleet in circles to buy time for Qi Yiming to take over the jumping bridge.
The plan went smoothly. After the Imperial Fleet encountered Zheng Hu's fleet, the main fleet followed Zheng Hu and chased towards the Zheng family's territory.
At this time, Qi Yiming had quietly led the fleet to the vicinity of the jumping bridge.
Although the commander of the Imperial Fleet used the advantages of his own warships to fight openly and openly, he also handled the details in place.
Qi Yiming looked at the enemy defense fleet near the jumping bridge. The commander of the Imperial Fleet was obviously also guarding against the Xuanwu Federation cutting off his supply line.
With the Imperial Fleet taking advantage of the advantage, the Empire left half of the fleet to guard the jumping bridge.
It was not difficult for Qi Yiming to destroy this guard fleet. The problem was that he had to annihilate this fleet completely, and not a single warship could let the other side slip away.
Because there was a large number of transport ships following Qi Yiming's fleet, waiting for Qi Yiming to take down the jumping bridge and set up a defense line near the jumping bridge.
If a warship escaped and brought the news of the loss of the jumping bridge to the commander of the empire.
With the speed of the empire fleet, it would appear in the border galaxy in less than three days.
By that time, the defense line had not been established. If the empire sent reinforcements from the mainland, Qi Yiming could not imagine the situation.
Qi Yiming made a little arrangement and led the fleet to kill directly.
The empire's garrison fleet also came up when it discovered Qi Yiming's fleet, which made Qi Yiming feel relieved.
"It seems that the commanders at all levels of the empire fleet have already underestimated the enemy..." Qi Yiming said to Fang Min in the fleet channel.
As a former elder of the Wang family, Fang Min was depressed for a while because of the failure of the sneak attack on the Zheng family. If Qi Yiming had not turned the tide, he might have committed suicide out of guilt.
Therefore, he was grateful to Qi Yiming and carried out Qi Yiming's orders meticulously along the way.
As a veteran, Fang Min also saw that the commander of the Imperial Fleet underestimated the enemy.
In theory, guarding the bridge jump is the first order of the Imperial Fleet's mission. Without special circumstances, they cannot leave the bridge jump and take the initiative to fight.
"Since you underestimate the enemy, you have to pay the corresponding price..." Qi Yiming ordered the fleet to continue moving forward.
When the enemy entered the range of the Xuefeng's main gun, Qi Yiming did not order the Xuefeng to fire.
Instead, he continued to move forward with the fleet. If Qi Yiming wanted to wipe out the garrison fleet, he had to take it by surprise.
The fleet of the Xuanwu Federation fought the Imperial Fleet according to the normal rules of engagement.
After several rounds of missiles, the Xuanwu Federation hesitated that all the warships were monkey-version warships, and the losses were relatively large.
One of the three cruisers in the fleet was severely damaged and withdrew from the battle sequence, and seven of the originally few destroyers were also lost.
There were only two frigates left after two rounds of attacks by the Empire.
The losses on the Empire side were much lighter, and only three frigates suffered too much damage and were sunk.
Qi Yiming did not even blink in the face of such a serious loss, and continued to order the fleet to attack.
Many warship wreckages were left on the route of their attack, and lifeboats were being launched from each wreckage.
Qi Yiming knew that if Xuefeng did not open fire, his fleet could collapse at any time.
He looked at the distance between the enemy and us, 273KM...
It has entered the best range of Xuefeng's secondary guns...
Qi Yiming did not hesitate and directly ordered Xuefeng to start all the power furnaces in the ship. The surging energy was continuously injected into the energy slots of Xuefeng's various weapons through pipelines, waiting to be stimulated.
The performance of Xuefeng did not disappoint everyone, and the dense barrage of bullets instantly came to the front of the imperial fleet.
Before the commander of the imperial fleet could figure out what was going on, the flames of explosions lit up one after another in his fleet.
The four cruisers, the main combat force of the Empire, were given special attention by the main gun of the Xuefeng.
With the support of abundant energy supply, the Xuefeng brought a feast of killing to the Empire fleet at a rate of two salvos per minute.
By the time the captains of the four cruisers of the Empire reacted, their warships had lost the chance to escape.
These captains watched their ships being covered by the barrage of bullets fired by the Xuefeng in desperate roars.
They didn't even have the opportunity to send out a distress signal before the warship sank.
Under the leadership of Qi Yiming, the fleet of the Xuanwu Federation took down the Empire's garrison fleet without any suspense.
Although the losses were heavy, Qi Yiming had to make such sacrifices in order to achieve the combat objectives.
At this time, Qi Yiming had no time to think about these problems. After clearing out the remaining enemies, he quickly contacted the transport fleet following them.
Half an hour later, a huge transport fleet appeared in Qi Yiming's eyes.
The transport fleet was commanded by Wang Dong, who had a unique talent for organizational engineering. Even the most complex engineering operations would be carried out in an orderly manner under his dispatch.
After arriving near the jumping bridge, the transport fleet started working directly.
A large number of railgun components were pulled out from the belly of the transport ship, and the engineers manipulated the small engineering ship to quickly place it in the location planned in advance by Qi Yiming and his team.
This time, the various families of the Xuanwu Federation spent a lot of money and took out all the material reserves they could.
A full 20 railguns were divided into three positions and placed near the jumping bridge. As long as a fleet jumped in, railguns in any direction could easily attack enemy warships.
In addition, the warships that had just left the jump mode would have a few seconds of energy disorder. During these few seconds, as long as the warships were slightly attacked, the internal energy of the warships would be out of control, and the warships would be instantly torn into pieces by the violent energy flow.
Watching Wang Dong advance the progress of the project in an orderly manner, Qi Yiming looked worriedly in the direction of the Zheng family's territory.
He was very worried that Zheng Hu would be captured by the Empire's main fleet before he completed his mission. In that case, everything he did would be in vain.
