Chapter 548: Bloody Battle At Bespin (5)

Before the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Matt Horner gave an order, "Hypermatter Railgun! Fire!!"

Buzz~~~~! ! Strong vibrations can be felt even inside the bridge. The 40m Caliber Giant Hypermatter Railguns equipped in front of the 50 Kol-class Battlecruisers fired instantly, and 50 extremely bright rays of light shot out instantly!

However, what was waiting was a burst of light blue energy light curtains, and all 50 huge Solid Projectiles were blocked. After this burst of fire covered, what came into view was a total of 60 uniform flat dagger-shaped Warships!

Venator-class Star Destroyer!

At this moment, the Deflector Shields of 8 Battleships in the Venator-class array have been destroyed, and they are adjusting their formation in an orderly manner to avoid them backwards. At the same time, all the Hangar Platforms above the Venator-class are fully deployed, and Starfighters are overwhelmingly flying over!

"The attack didn't work!" The tactical analyst on the side turned around and said, "The Republic Fleet adjusted the coordinates and escaped from Hyperspace 0.03 seconds earlier! This allowed them to avoid the Proximity Mine Field we set up for pre-explosion and deployed their Deflector Shields! "

"Jedi Knight." Matt Horner's expression was a little gloomy. He had heard countless legends about Jedi Knights from Tang Xiao, and today would be the first time he would actually face a Jedi Knight.

Without hesitation, he waved and said, "Starfighters take off! Get ready to meet the enemy! All ships fire with all their might!"

All the Warships of the Fourth Civilization Fleet A fully fired. The 4 Heavy Laser Cannons in front of the 50 Kol-class Battlecruisers and the 2 Dual Heavy Ion Cannons in front of the 10 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers all fired. Hundreds of Bright Beams Instantly irradiated into the Republic Fleet.

At the same time, the Galactic Republic Fleet also began to fight back, and the Dual DBY-827 Heavy Turbolasers of the Venator-class Star Destroyer arranged on both sides of the bridge fired thick Blue Blaster Energy Beams.

The empty universe was instantly filled with countless beams of death. As the first batch of 2,000 V-19 Torrent Starfighters launched by the Republic opened up and accelerated towards them, the battlefield suddenly became extremely tragic.

The Fourth Civilization took off the first batch of 1,500 Vulture Droid Starfighters. These Starfighters fought under the protection of the Battleship's Autocannons, and they would never go beyond the barriers to fight alone with the Republic Starfighters.

At this moment, the 100 Garda-class Flak Destroyers hidden in the Fleet Formation of the Fourth Civilization began to show their power. The Autocannons equipped on the Garda-class Flak Destroyers continued to fire. Under the aim of the powerful Fire Control System, countless Lasers and Shells accurately hit the Starfighters of the Republic.

The strangulation of thousands of Starfighters is brutal, but this is only the beginning!

Almost within 5 minutes of the air battle, more than 300 Starfighters from both sides were shot down!

Under the deployment of Matt Horner, all the Fourth Civilization Warships stood still, maintaining a frontal posture facing the enemy, and handed over all the sides to their own Starfighters and the Garda-class Flak Destroyers next to them for cover.

Lasers, Shells and Blaster Beams continued to fall on the Battleships of both sides. A Kol-class Battlecruiser had to retreat because its Deflector Shield was severely damaged, followed by the second ship, the third ship, and the fourth ship. A total of 9 Kol-class Battlecruisers and 2 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers had their Deflector Shields destroyed.

In this artillery battle, only four of the Republic's Venator-class Star Destroyers had their Deflector Shields penetrated.

"Analyze the combat data of both sides," Matt Horner said.

"After the analysis, the Deflector Shield strength of the Venator-class Star Destroyer is 47% higher than ours. Our Kol-class Railguns and 4 X-ray Laser Cannons need continuous irradiation, but the Venator-class can evenly share the damage from laser irradiation. To the Deflector Shield, In combat, the Hiigaran-class Battlecruiser Dual Heavy Ion Cannons perform better." The Technical Director on the side replied immediately.

"Gauss Defense Platform! Fire!" Matt Horner gave an order, and the 180 Gauss Defense Platforms deployed on the periphery of Bespin broke away from their invisible state, and the Dual Gauss Cannons had already been loaded, aiming at the direction of the Republic Fleet and spit out a long tongue of flame.

At the same time, the 16-unit Burst Rocket Launchers equipped on the Gauss Defense Platforms fired Rockets like raindrops!

Suffering a sudden and unexpected blow, the Galactic Republic Fleet seemed to be in a brief moment of chaos, but immediately regrouped, and they took off a second batch of Starfighters.

1,000 V-19 Torrent Starfighters cover 200 BTL-B Y-wing Bombers taking off, ready to start clearing those Gauss Defense Platforms.

At this time, the Republic Starfighter Group attacking the Fourth Civilization Fleet began to retreat, and the Venator-class Star Destroyer launched the third batch of Starfighters again, 1,000 V-19 Torrent Starfighters and 1,000 Z-95 Headhunter Starfighters!

Reducing the number of dedicated Air Superiority V-19s and dispatching Z-95 Multi-Role Starfighters indicates what the Republic Fleet Commander intends next. He is going to directly attack the Warships of the Fourth Civilization.

Seizing this brief gap, the Kol-class Battlecruisers of Fourth Civilization Fleet A started charging the Hypermatter Railgun again.

A Gauss Defense Platform began to adjust its direction under the action of the steering engine, aiming at a Venator-class Star Destroyer in front, and the Dual Gauss Cannon was loaded, and they fired in one shot!

Two High-Explosive Shells were launched instantly and hit the Venator-level Deflector Shield. The Warhead of the Shell reacted violently immediately. The Tibanna Gas quickly burned and exploded to form a plasma cluster, and the Deflector Shield was burned by millions of degrees of high temperature instantly, but was quickly offset by the Deflector Shield.

Three V-19 Torrent Starfighters launched an assault on the Gauss Defense Platform. They dived and fired Lasers, hitting the Gauss Defense Platform's Deflector Shield for a while. The two Point Defense Laser Cannons installed on the top and bottom of the Gauss Defense Platform are also firing desperately, attacking the incoming Starfighters.

At this time, a BTL-B Y-wing Bomber flew quickly from behind. The Republic Pilot in the cockpit was wearing a full-coverage Helmet. His expression could not be seen, but he moved calmly and steadily. He lifted the safety cover on the joystick and pressed the launch button.

A Proton Torpedo was launched instantly and hit the Gauss Defense Platform accurately!

A Cloud of Light Blue Protons spread instantly, followed by a violent explosion. The Gauss Defense Platform which took a day to build was immediately blown into countless fragments.

Before the flames of the explosion here were extinguished by the vacuum, the countless Dazzling Light Beams lit up in the distance immediately overshadowed the explosion.

Hypermatter Railgun, the second salvo!

This salvo caused even more tragic results than before. The Deflector Shield of a Venator-class Star Destroyer was destroyed, and before it could quit the battle, it was directly pierced by a Shell!

The Hangar at the front of the Battleship was completely torn into pieces by this Shell carrying terrible Kinetic Energy, leaving only the second half of the Battleship constantly on fire, burning, exploding, and tilting... Under this terrifying blow, one can only watch. So far, less than 10 Rescue Capsules have been launched, which means that the 7,400 Crew Members of the entire Battleship, except for these few, have all died in the vacuum of space.

Not only that, there were two other Venator-class Star Destroyers that were also penetrated by Shells, but because of their location, they were only shot from above and pierced from below. Although they lost their combat capabilities, at least the damage would not destroy the entire Battleship.

The Fourth Civilization Fleet also paid the price. During the process of lowering their Deflector Shields to recharge the Hypermatter Railguns, two Battleships were also hit by concentrated fire from the Republic Warships. They were severely damaged and completely lost their ability to move, becoming steel coffins floating in space.

Immediately afterwards, the third batch of Starfighters of the Republic arrived, and the tragic air battle began again!
