Chapter 110 Falling

Two destroyers and a transport ship carrying 5,000 marine soldiers took off from the surface of the satellite, away from the Hivester companion star, and made a short-distance jump more than 30,000 kilometers away.

Twenty minutes later, the destroyer took the lead in appearing in a dark star domain. This is an ordinary star system, but it does not form any planet that can nurture life. The planet close to the star is extremely hot; its distant planet is icy and snow, and its back can almost reach a low temperature of more than 200 degrees below zero. .

However, on one of the orbits, there is a planet rich in minerals. Almost all three colonial stars in the vicinity of the alliance rely on its huge reserves to provide the industrial activities of these planets. Due to the beginning of the war, this mineral planet has become more and more important.

Huo Xiu stood on the bridge of one of the destroyers, staring at the image displayed on the main screen with his back. He only dispatched two destroyers this time, and the rest are undergoing daily maintenance. However, there is no need for a large number of warships to deal with a mineral planet. The two destroyers carry dozens of spacecraft enough to deal with everything.

" Sir, an unknown transition space signal has been detected ahead." At this time, the radar observer suddenly reported an abnormality, which made Huo Xiu and the captain look over.

"Display the scan results on the home screen and let the computer analyze the results." The captain was obviously a skilled officer, saying that the instructions were both fast and accurate.

"Coloner Delancey," Huo Xiu looked at the captain, "let the weapon operator prepare, release the unmanned attack aircraft to escort, and disperse the two destroyers."

"Yes, sir." Delasi answered that he did not have any doubts about the orders from his superiors, and immediately asked his men to complete these things.

"Report, sir, it's a cruise ship!" Not long after Huo Xiu's order was issued, the radar soldiers reported the situation again, "It's not the alliance, but the rebels!"

Huo Xiu looked up at the main screen. Due to the rapid flight of the destroyer, they could already see the shadow of the enemy cruisers. They must have also found the two warships of the alliance, which immediately moved at full speed and tried to escape from the place currently closely guarded by the alliance.

"Send a destroyer to pursue, try to intercept them, and use magnetic rail guns to attack if necessary." Huo Xiu ordered, "The remaining transport ships should slow down and let the destroyers detect the surrounding area first."

"Yes, sir."

The firepower of the enemy cruiser could not be the opponent of the destroyer, and it failed to jump immediately. During this time, an alliance destroyer opened fire and chased fiercely, and small* also appeared in space. Huo Xiu's destroyer soon came near the orbit of the mineral planet.

From the current distance, the planet is like a fist-sized sphere. Suddenly, the spots were displayed on the radar screen. Through refinement, it was found that a team of spacecraft were launched from the surface of the planet. With the help of the planet's rotation movement, they used their orbit to accelerate. When they were out of orbit, their speed was greatly improved.

Huo Xiu stared at the picture taken by the camera. The other side estimated that there were more than 60 spacecraft, most of which were modified landing spacecraft and assault spacecraft. They added a thick layer of armor, equipped with guided rocket launch nests or mounted with two * launchers, and a medium-sized one about 60 meters long. The troop carrier, black coating, is printed with "MP-23A", which means the 23rd mineral planet of the alliance.

"This is the largest armed spacecraft specially designed by the alliance for the mineral planet peacekeeping forces!" Delancey's words were full of surprise, "But shouldn't they be from the government? Why do they look so tense about us now?"

"Is there a threat?" Huo Xiu frowned and asked that the spaceship outside had dispersed in an arc-shaped queue surrounded by standard space operations.

ColoneLender frowned and thought for a moment.

"I'm not sure." He shook his head and said, "At the beginning, the government equipped them with a lot of medium-range*. If we try our best, maybe we will also spend a little effort."

"Prepare *and*." Huo Xiu ordered, "Communication soldier, connect me to the communication with the other party's 'MP-23A' spacecraft."

"We are receiving video signals, sir." The messenger reported.

A flat image appeared. He was obviously not a military man. He had a slightly long black hair, his bangs were combed back, revealing a bright forehead, and a politician-like smile on his face made people feel hypocritical. It can be seen from the screen that he is on the ground at the moment, and the holographic image is converted through the communication video on the spacecraft.

"This is the Fifth Fleet of the Alliance. Now let all of you get out of the way." Huo Xiu stood at the front and said loudly, "Otherwise, the Alliance Air Force will take some necessary measures."

"Captain..." The man's voice was gentle and slow. "You can call me Zuo Shiping, the manager of this planet. What can we do for you?"

"First of all," Huo Xiu stressed with his hands behind his back, "I'm not a captain. I'm a major general in the military and deputy commander of the fleet. Second, I ask your men to return immediately and don't want to outflank the destroyer before anyone is angry. Third, I want you to leave the berthing area on the surface and prepare for our landing.

Zuo Shiping considered Huo Xiu's request and laughed out loud: "General, I'm sorry for getting your rank and position wrong first." He narrowed his eyes and said, "But your request is beyond our tolerance, but as a famous deputy commander of the fleet, I can also agree - but we need to get a few of our spacecraft out of here, and everyone on this planet will accept your control, okay?"

"Delusion." Huo Xiu said coldly, "Everyone can't leave this planet without my permission, otherwise the fleet will attack it."

"Then there is nothing to talk about." Zuo Shiping said with a smile that the video was interrupted.

"Sir, they attacked us!"

"Return!"

Huo Xiu said calmly, "release* and attack the largest spacecraft in batches. Colonel, you command the warship to attack the surrounding spaceships.

"Yes, sir."

Huo Xiu gave the power to command the warship to the captain. After all, in terms of his familiarity with the warship, he is not as good as a commander who stays on the warship all day. At the same time, this is also a way to make people have something to do and reduce his own burden. He is a strategic commander, not a warship combat commander.

The modified spacecraft of the other party is very flexible and has full experience in group combat. The unmanned fighters sent out have been hit by their flying rockets before they can play a role, causing a brief explosion in the vacuum, and then turned into floating space debris.

But the destroyer's * has become their biggest enemy. Almost every time it is fired, a spacecraft will be hit, and some people want to attack the destroyer, but in the face of the high-strength alloy armor after more than 2,000 mm, except for some inertial warheads, I'm afraid ordinary ammunition can't be real. It was killed in the air.

In this situation, a spacecraft full of explosives bypassed the main battlefield and approached the tail of the destroyer. The wave-absorbing material painted on its surface deceived the destroyer's first radar detection. When it was away from the jet of the six huge weapons in the tail, the ship's hatch opened and an escape jet module came out.

But the unmanned spacecraft still continues to follow the predetermined route.

Due to energy conservation, the destroyer did not turn on the electromagnetic field shield. When the second anti-stealth scan, it was found that a spacecraft was approaching. Then, two * flew out and drew an arc in the air, ready to return to attack the threatening spacecraft.

However, the two * did not fly long and were shot down by the enemy's interception *. And the spacecraft has now flown into an engine nozzle. The fire flashed, and the explosives in it were detonated. The silent explosion brought a large burning flame. The destroyer suddenly shook, and the inertia made it continue to move forward.

In the warship, the alarm kept ringing.

"The three sets of engine nozzles of the spacecraft have lost their function!" The engineer reported, "We are currently preparing to use the fifth and sixth sets of engines."

"It's too late." Huo Xiu stared at a slowly rotating satellite in front of him - they had entered a high orbit, and the planet's gravity would take advantage of this short time to introduce the powerless warship step by step into the abyss of death - they crossed the high orbit, and the planet's gravity accelerated the warships and faster.

And the group of enemies actually dispersed together and hid behind the destroyer, attacking the tail of the warship with painless firepower. Inside the bridge, the situation gradually got worse. Huo Xiu checked the area where the computer simulated the warship stopped working and said, "Prepare the emergency thruster and follow my orders."

"I understand, sir."

"Others are ready to land on the surface of the planet." Huo Xiu said, "At the same time, notify another destroyer to return and participate in the battle."

"Yes, sir."

The surface of the planet in the warship is getting closer and closer. The original fist-sized ball can only be seen on the surface of almost one ten thousandth. Fortunately, there is no atmosphere here, and there is no so-called air friction. Although the speed is fast, the surface temperature of the warship is still stable.

" Sir, 10,000 meters from the ground!"

"Turn on the emergency thruster!" Huo Xiu said loudly and grabbed the handrail beside him.

The reverse thruster of the warship opened and spewed out blue flames, which abruptly slowed down the speed of the falling warship. Under the control of the pilot's efforts, he dragged his extremely heavy body to slowly fall in the direction of the surface factory, chasing a large group of arrogant spacecraft.

"Prepare for collision!"

"Bang!"

A loud noise spread inside the warship. Although he was ready, Huo Xiu still felt like being hit by a high-speed car. His chest was stuffy and his blood was surging. He gritted his teeth, resisted the discomfort, and stood up. The bridge was in a mess at this moment.
