The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1518. Battle of Ennako (1)

Admiral Kourney took a deep breath and flipped through the documents in front of him, "Well... launch an orbital bombing on the planet Ennako... then the Trade Federation can use this as an excuse to choke the Xuanwu ship's neck in terms of supplies You must know that the daily supplies and fuel consumed by the Xuanwu Titan battleship are also a very large number, so that the Xuanwu can be forced to leave."

"Don't you think it's a bit of a joke?" Lynch Houser said.

"It's not a child's play...Because we are going to launch an orbital bombing on the heavily guarded planet Ennako, even if it is planned, we may lose at least 10 capital ships. And according to the plan, we will launch the attack first, and this At that time, the trade alliance will put pressure on the Xuanwu, asking the Xuanwu to take the protection of their industries on the planet as the main combat goal. Then they will create defense loopholes and give us the opportunity to orbital bombing." Admiral Kourney said, "and After the orbital bombing, the Trade Federation will send a large number of transport ships to the vicinity of the planet on the grounds of rescuing the civilians and industries on the planet, creating hyperspace fluctuations, making the shipping lanes crowded and unable to deliver military supplies in time. At least, I think this plan feasible."

"In this planning process, there are too few factors we can control." Lynch Houser said, "What if Lott Dude suddenly changes his mind? Do we have the ability to counter it? By then, our fleet has already Entering the Ennako planet, you can’t get out even if you want to.”

"But he asked our three Commander II-class dreadnoughts not to enter the planet Ennako in the first place... If it is from the perspective that he wants to kill us, he should not first ask for the three Commanders Did the Raider II enter the planet Ennako and then be destroyed first without support?" Admiral Kourney said, "And we still have evidence of the meeting with Lot-Dud, once we put the evidence In the open, I promise he won't make it out of Coruscant alive."

Seeing that Lynch Houser was still hesitant, Admiral Kourney continued: "There is no time to hesitate! That's all we can do. Speaker Palpatine's instructions to us to launch attacks are becoming more and more frequent. , he is about to lose his patience. Do everything we can and leave the rest to fate."

Lynch Houser raised his eyebrows, "I'd rather believe in the Force. But it's useless to say this now, all Jedi knights are traitors."

He paused, and his expression finally became firm, "Then let's start! Inform the first task force, let's go!"

...

Several spaceships from the Trade Federation quietly came to the planet Van der Heim in another direction, and secretly handled the handover with the 17th Army. Next, just wait for the battle on the other side to break out, and the trade alliance can justifiably take the planet as its own.

The representative of the trade union, Lott Doud, was very satisfied with this. Immediately afterwards, with the order of the governor of the 17th Army, Lynch Houser, on May 34, the First Task Force of the Main Fleet of the 17th Army came from Depart from the space port of the planet Naboo, enter the hyperspace channel, and head straight for the planet Ennaco!

The battle of Ennaco broke out!

The first task force of the 17th Army includes 5 Knight-class star destroyers, 20 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, 20 Arquitense-class light cruisers, and 20 DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats, 50 CR-70 frigates ship.

This is already a very large force!

But at the same time, it is also the most scientific degree of the number of warships passing through the hyperspace channel between the planet Naboo and the planet Ennako at one time-neither the hyperspace fluctuation caused by the limit of the number will affect the subsequent navigation, nor Because the number is too small to threaten the Ennako planet where the Titan battleship Xuanwu sits.

After the First Task Force arrived on the planet Ennako, they found that the separatist Titan battleship Xuanwu was deploying defenses around the outer spaceport of the planet.

Planet Ennaco is the cargo distribution center of the Trade Federation, so it has a very large space port. But don't think that this is an advantage, because this kind of civilian loading and unloading spaceport is not equipped with deflector shields.

And because of the huge size, it is often divided into several loading and unloading areas, and each loading and unloading area requires complete storage and logistics facilities, so the structure will be very fragile.

And General Kourney's plan is to first raid the spaceport of the Trade Union to attract the attention of the Titan battleship Xuanwu, and then the reinforcements who will arrive next will seize the opportunity to carry out orbital bombing on the planet.

The location of the orbital bombing has also been selected. There is a large warehouse of the Trade Federation, and there is really a lot of supplies stored in this warehouse.

According to Lott-Dude, only if such a real loss is caused can he carry out the next action.

At this moment, the [|]-shaped huge body of the Ankron-class Titan battleship Xuanwu is in front of the trade union space port, and there are 4 Sowa-class aircraft carriers, 12 Cole-class battlecruisers, and 5 Duno A husband-class battlecruiser, and a battle formation of 10 Apocalypse-class light cruisers.

Through the sensor screen, looking at the huge Titan battleship that looked a little dazzling under the light of the stars, Kabayo, the commander of the First Task Force of the Seventeenth Army of the Republic, couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat.

In front of my eyes is the super battleship that made the entire Galactic Republic change its face - the Xuanwu!

Kabayo knew very well that with his own strength, it was impossible to cause any damage to the Separatist fleet supported by the Titan battleship Xuanwu.

But he must move on!

Just like the name of his fleet-the task force, to put it bluntly, is also the cannon fodder fleet.

But because of his loyalty to the Galactic Republic, Kabayo still resolutely led his troops to set off!

Loyalty, in this Galactic Republic, is actually not lacking.

"Avoid the opponent's Titan battleship and attack the trade union's spaceport!" Kabayo ordered, and the Republic task force began to move forward, and began to fire heavy turbolaser cannons at the limit range.

The Titan battleship Xuanwu also started to move immediately, only to see that the battleship began to greet it on its own initiative, and the hulls on both sides of the battleship emitted a burst of red light. Immediately afterwards, under the effect of the group shield, the shield of the entire Fourth Civilization Fleet was enhanced!

Under such a solid defense, it is absolutely impossible for the Republic fleet to cause damage to the warships here.

But this time, the target of the task force is the spaceport!

boom! boom! boom! As several heavy turbo laser cannons hit, a loading and unloading area in the spaceport that bore the brunt immediately began to disintegrate in the explosion.

As if enraged by this attack, the Titan battleship Xuanwu charged forward with full power!
