Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Chapter 281 The Coruscant Crime Group Suffers a Major Defeat

The sudden attack made the already chaotic enemy fleet even more vulnerable.

Especially under these extremely difficult communication conditions, Zhang Xun's three battleships launched a counterattack directly under the cover of planetary cannons.

"Inform Shen Yuexin to go all out, and Huang Hong will lead the space fighters to cover Sun Hui as she boards the enemy star destroyer."

Just then, a high-mass gauss missile struck the AT field, and the enormous inertia immediately exhausted one of Rei Ayanami's pilots.

Even with the AT field blocking it, the nearly 10,000-ton ball still struck the battleship's armor.

Once the tremors subsided, Tianwen displayed the source of the attack on the screen.

A strange support ship, but what is mistaken for a maintenance bay under the hull is actually a Gauss launcher.

"Yulin, take three squadrons and take care of it for me!"

This thing was probably modified by pirates specifically for use against fortresses.

Upon seeing Zhang Xun's fleet charging towards them, Jabba and Pike immediately ordered the Star Destroyer fleet to create distance.

Upon discovering that the enemy was attempting to withdraw from the range of the planetary cannon, Zhang Xun immediately sent a message to the destroyer fleet attacking the outer perimeter of the enemy fleet.

However, in this chaotic situation, it is difficult to confirm whether laser communication can complete the mission; we can only hope that Wang Ge will be quick-witted.

The destroyer fleet, while attacking from the enemy's perimeter, also suffered considerable losses.

The number of warships destroyed has reached 230.

With 793 destroyers surrounding nearly a thousand enemy ships, these losses are already considered minor.

It's important to understand that these destroyers are all less than 300 meters long.

Wang Ge, who was attacking the enemy support ship using the "Yamato" tactic, received a notification from the ship's Tianwen.

"Captain Wang Ge, the enemy Star Destroyer fleet has begun to move backward, and an unusual light has appeared in the direction of our main fleet. However, due to the obstruction of wreckage and enemy ship hulls, we cannot fully decipher it."

Looking at the battlefield ship distribution map, Wang Ge understood that the enemy wanted to create distance and then use their numerical advantage to wear down the enemy once they were out of range of the planetary cannons.

Without hesitation, the destroyer fleet split into two groups, with Wang Ge leading three hundred ships to intercept the enemy's main star destroyer fleet.

Although the opposing Star Destroyers included many under kilometer-class destroyers, there were also some over kilometer-class destroyers, such as the Hutt Star Destroyer and the Jaeger-class.

Don't let the Hutts' unattractive appearance fool you; their ancestors were once very wealthy.

Despite its seemingly dilapidated state, the Hutt Star Destroyer possesses defensive and offensive capabilities very close to those of the Old Republic era.

Of course, it was mainly a later modification, and the 1.1 km Jagdpanzer-class was their strongest Star Destroyer.

The rest are all less than 1,000 kilometers long, such as the Victory-class, the Fantail-class, and one of the old Sith Empire's Tormenter-class ships.

Although ship performance is related to modifications, it's difficult to find highly skilled craftsmen in such a chaotic place as the outer ring.

Of course, someone as skilled at modification as Han wouldn't be dedicated to a criminal organization.

This meant that the enemy's 43 Star Destroyers had varying levels of firepower, but they were not something that a destroyer fleet less than 300 meters long could stop.

As soon as Wang Ge's fleet engaged in battle, some destroyers were destroyed.

Although communications were disrupted on the battlefield, the fleet could still coordinate and concentrate fire using its secondary guns.

This method is similar to the use of tracer rounds during World War II, allowing the enemy to launch a unified attack effectively.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Wang Ge was facing elites from four major criminal organizations.

With no other option, Wang Ge could only use torpedoes and other explosives to try his best to slow down the enemy.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xun immediately commanded the main fleet to charge forward, but this also allowed three battleships to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory.

The battlefield became even more chaotic, but the planetary cannons were not affected.

Seeing the enemy's resolute retreat, Zhang Xun gritted his teeth and used quantum teleportation to attack.

Although this would increase the risk of exposure, his priority now is to eliminate these criminals in order to unify the Star Wars underworld.

The biggest problem with quantum teleportation is that when a bomb is being transported into a small, high-speed ship, it can easily be transported outside.

Because this teleportation is based on one's own coordinates, the accuracy of the teleportation attack will be greatly reduced if the reference and the target are too fast together.

Of course, being teleported back won't have any impact, because there's a teleportation room as the coordinate.

Half of the forty-three Star Destroyers were instantly destroyed, not because the remaining ships didn't want to attack, but because Tianwen discovered that Imperial probes were approaching.

When Tarkin last witnessed Zhang Xun instantly annihilate the Hutt fleet, he wanted to figure out what kind of attack it was.

If the Imperial probes were far away, Zhang Xun wouldn't be afraid of leaks, because no one could detect attacks they hadn't seen before.

The humans in the original universe were only able to stop the quantum teleportation attack after they saw the torpedo fail to teleport.

Therefore, when the Imperial probes approached, Zhang Xun decisively abandoned the teleportation attack.

Once quantum teleportation is discovered, the Empire's technology will allow it to quickly develop interception methods; now is not the time to reveal this trump card.

Now that we've stopped using teleportation attacks, we can say that we bribed the enemy's crew to deal with the situation if asked in the future.

Jabba and Pyke were terrified, having lost half of their Star Destroyers in an instant, and they still didn't know how the enemy had managed to do it.

Even if they bribed their own men to secretly plant explosives inside the warship, they would still not escape their fate of death.

The two immediately took their confidants and transferred to a high-speed ship, intending to get away from the battlefield. What did winning or losing, status or position matter? If they lost their lives, everything would be gone.

When Zhang Xun saw that the enemy was willing to do anything to open an exit, he realized that the attack had terrified them and they were planning to escape.

"Release the concussion blast, activate the mini gravity trap!"

Concussion grenades may not be very effective against large ships, but they can severely impact vessels that are only a hundred meters long.

Gravity traps can prevent the opponent from initiating hyperspace travel.

This gravity well-like trap, though short-lived, can block out distant enemies and is very easy to deploy.

Jabba and Pike's high-speed ships were quickly affected, and they had to have Star Destroyers escort them away.

They hadn't expected Zhang Xun to possess such powerful weapons, and initially intended to retreat back to the Star Destroyer to escape.

But seeing the Star Destroyers being targeted and exploding one by one, they were too frightened to approach easily.

At this moment, Shen Yuexin's battleship, the Candle Dragon, charged into the enemy fleet, just like Sun Wukong entering Princess Iron Fan's stomach.

Often, they fired almost right up to the enemy star destroyer, their ample firepower rendering the enemy's shields virtually indistinguishable from paper.

The shipbuilders never imagined that one day someone would use nearly a thousand cannons directly for close-range attacks.

Of course, this efficient cleanup also left the Candle Dragon with many scars, with a large number of gun emplacements destroyed due to enemy ship explosions that were too close.

Zhang Xun looked at the Candle Dragon, whose repulsive shield had been activated at full power, leaving the warship surrounded by a large amount of wreckage.

He said directly to Natal, "Remember when the warship was under repair, you withheld my allowance for Shen Yuexin's mission. I'm going to make her starve in this mission universe!"

Natal watched through the monitor as Shen Yuexin jumped up and down, yelling and firing into the Candle Dragon, and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing his wife smile, Zhang Xun added, "For your sake, I'll at most provide meals."

Hearing what Zhang Xun said, Natal blushed, rolled her eyes at him, and went back to her work.

After the battle had progressed to this point, the combined fleet of the four major criminal organizations had long lost the courage to continue fighting.

Even after releasing all the gravity traps and shock grenades, Jabba and Pyke still managed to escape.

In this battle, Zhang Xun's three main warships suffered heavy losses: one was severely damaged and two were slightly damaged. In addition, his destroyer fleet lost 641 ships.

More than 2,100 enemy ships were destroyed, and 12 of the 43 enemy Star Destroyers escaped back. The Coruscant criminal organization in the outer ring was basically rendered incapable of fighting.

All that's left are the Outer Ring Pirate Alliance, the Rebel Alliance, and the Bounty Hunter Guild, which are giving the Empire a headache.

However, once they lose their place to sell their stolen goods, the pirates probably won't last long, since they don't have enough large warships.
