Chapter 70 Breakout

The three main guns of the Xuefeng focused their fire on a cruiser of the mercenary fleet, and 13 of the 18 burst lasers were accurately hit at a distance of 300km.

The formation that was still attacking was shaken, and a fierce fire flashed across the bow of the cruiser that was hit, and then the crew was thrown into the universe.

But a cruiser is a cruiser after all, and it still led the fleet to rush towards the Xuefeng madly despite being severely damaged.

Soon, the horseshoe-shaped fleet formation surrounded the Xuefeng among many warships.

"Little guys, fight for me! The employer said that as long as we can bring back the fragments of the warship and the ship-borne intelligent brain, we can still get a huge mission reward." Captain Jesse roared wildly in the fleet channel of the mercenaries.

His ship had been severely damaged by the Xuefeng, but in order not to affect morale, he still led the fleet to surround the Xuefeng in the center of the formation.

The Xuefeng, which was surrounded in the center, was not affected by the siege at all and continued to fire slowly.

In order to improve the efficiency of the bombardment, Qi Yiming even ordered the weapons officer to reduce the charging intensity of the main and secondary guns, so that the intensity of the burst laser was just enough to penetrate the armor layer of the enemy ship, and the firing rate of the main gun was increased to two shots per minute.

The torpedo launch bay on the Xuefeng was even more busy.

Although this was an unmanned post, the information panel in front of Qi Yiming showed the assembly of torpedoes in detail.

Qi Yiming transferred all the extra energy from the main and secondary guns to the torpedo bay, reducing the original three minutes to make a torpedo to 2 minutes and 23 seconds. In addition to the torpedo reloading time, the Xuefeng fired two torpedoes every three minutes to pour fire on the enemy ship.

The armor integrity of the Xuefeng has been stable at 56% with the support of the Guardian's powerful repair ability.

It must be said that the quality of the mercenaries is much better than that of the pirates.

With the absolute advantage in the number of warships, no warship escaped from the battle position privately.

Even if the warship was severely damaged, it would be transferred to the back row of the fleet formation under the cover of teammates for emergency repairs.

So from the beginning of the war to now, within five minutes, the Xuefeng has only sunk four enemy warships.

And then the Xuefeng will face attacks from all directions.

Qi Yiming also discovered the difference between these mercenaries and the pirates. They are obviously better than the pirates in terms of organization and morale.

In terms of the mastery of the battle formation, the mercenaries are much stronger than the pirates.

Originally, they wanted to quickly sink the flagship in the enemy formation to deal a major blow to the morale of this group of mercenaries, but the cruiser cleverly used the formation change to avoid it.

Qi Yiming gritted his teeth and replaced the torpedoes in the torpedo compartment with micro jump engines on the operating screen in front of him.

The targets of the two torpedoes were set as the cruiser in the enemy fleet and another destroyer that looked more active.

Jesse looked at the two torpedoes fired from the Xuefeng and didn't care too much.

Although the Xuefeng hit his ship and another destroyer respectively in the first torpedo launch.

The destroyer was blown to pieces by the torpedo at that time, and if Jesse's ship hadn't been lucky, it would probably have been killed in the first round of attack by the Xuefeng.

With experience and lessons learned this time, of course, it was particularly confident to deal with it.

Jesse organized more than a dozen warships under his command to shoot at the torpedoes at the same time, hoping to intercept the two torpedoes flying towards their fleet with dense barrages.

But a strange scene happened. The torpedo that was originally flying fast suddenly disappeared in the airspace in front of them.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the torpedo appeared on the battlefield again.

And this time the location where it appeared was only 5km away from the target that the two torpedoes were going to attack.

The warships of the mercenaries had no time to adjust the muzzles of their secondary guns, and could only watch the two torpedoes penetrate their flagship and a destroyer not far from the flagship.

The next second, there was a violent explosion, almost illuminating the entire battlefield.

When the torpedo appeared 5km away from his ship, Jesse knew that it was impossible to intercept it, and decisively issued an order to the flagship.

He was lucky, and the aftermath of the explosion only pushed his lifeboat away from the battlefield, and he was eventually rescued by a friendly ship.

Most of the lifeboats were pierced by the scattered warship fragments, and the people hiding inside certainly did not escape the end of death.

Jesse came to the bridge of the friendly ship in a panic, and after re-establishing the command through the internal communication of the fleet, he stabilized the emotions of the captains of each ship.

However, the sinking of Jesse's own ship caused a considerable gap in the mercenary formation, and the Xuefeng took the opportunity to rush out of the mercenary horseshoe formation.

Xuefeng had been fighting desperately since the beginning of the battle, which misled Jesse to some extent.

Jesse thought that the captain of the target warship had lost hope of survival after knowing that he was surrounded by a large number of mercenaries, and was determined to fight to the death when he encountered his fleet.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yiming was just bluffing, with the purpose of attracting Jesse's fleet to press forward.

Jesse lived up to expectations and really brought his fleet to press forward.

Qi Yiming would have allocated most of the energy inside the Xuefeng to the engine after the first round of attack, so as to quickly reach the jump bridge.

But he didn't expect that the Xuefeng would fail in the first round of attack. Although the torpedo hit the cruiser, it only opened a large hole in the huge hull of the cruiser and did not cause any substantial damage.

The cruiser just threw a lot of equipment and personnel into space and continued to lead the fleet to attack him.

The torpedo attack wins in suddenness and great power. The first wave of attacks did not succeed, and the second attack could easily be intercepted by the concentrated firepower of the local fleet.

Qi Yiming had no choice but to use the few micro jump engines.

Increase the suddenness of the torpedo attack again.

The second torpedo attack did not disappoint Qi Yiming.

The two torpedoes that suddenly disappeared and then appeared instantly sank the already severely damaged cruiser and a destroyer next to the cruiser, tearing a big hole in the enemy fleet.

Qi Yiming seized the opportunity and ordered the Xuefeng to go full speed. With the supply of excess energy, the engine provided a strong thrust for the Xuefeng.

Under the stunned eyes of the mercenaries, the Xuefeng rushed to the jumping bridge at a speed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Jesse could only yell weakly in the fleet channel: "Stop that warship... Stop it quickly..."

But everything happened too fast, and there was no chance for everyone to react. The Xuefeng had already rushed out of their encirclement.

By the time Jesse organized the fleet to pursue, the Xuefeng had already arrived near the jumping bridge.

Qi Yiming glanced at the battlefield situation map and smiled contemptuously: "Captain, start the jumping bridge... Let's get out of here!"
