Sheffield himself knows the information, and the Sijing people themselves naturally know it even better, and even what the human fleet in low-earth orbit wants to do, they also know it very well.

They are not here to die, or to defeat the human race, they really want to fight a victory, at the minimum cost - for the Sijing people, as long as they don't lose too many starships, it is not a loss, and no matter how many ground weapons they have, it's just a large loss, not a defeat - and since the official start of the war on the human side, the Sijing people have not won many victories, most of them end in defeat, and in this regard, there is no qualified military commander except for the Sijing people themselves, On the other hand, it is also because of the continuous attacks of the Iron Eagle organization within the GDI, and most of its energy is devoted to fighting with humans for the right to control the universe.

But this time, the Sijing people seem to change this phenomenon, and if the war is not won, it will make no sense-

The dazzling red light lit up from the bow of the Destroyer gunship, and the huge light cluster gathered in just a few seconds, and the high temperature brought by the energy gathering caused the air around the gunship to distort violently in an instant, distorting the body of the starship that was more than 400 meters long!

Then, five seconds later, a red light cluster with a diameter of more than ten meters broke away from the bow of the ship and fell into the city below in a large arc!

The pillar of light that soared into the sky rose up like a volcanic eruption, and the flames and light waves spread from the inside to the outside from the place where the light cluster landed!

A lava crater with a diameter of two kilometers has appeared here!

The streets, vehicles, and people in the area were all reduced to nothing, and even the originally dense building complex was only a few left, and they fell horizontally and vertically in the pit that was still flowing with golden-red liquid in a charred and mutilated appearance!

The destruction of the city is only one aspect, and the greatest irritation for humanity is that an entire regiment of troops in this destroyed area disappears along with the destruction of the city.

Fortunately, most of the human troops involved in this operation have seen the scene where the entire Philadelphia was razed by the catalytic cannon of the Sijing Super Mothership, compared to the destruction of the Destroyer gunship this time, the last time was really desperate - although not everyone can get through that kind of despair, but those who can struggle out of despair, after seeing such a scene, will either fall back into the same despair, or they will be more likely to accept the reality than others - so the coalition forces that suffered heavy losses from this huge blow, Soon sobered up from the shock and quickly dispersed and retreated.

They knew that in the face of the Starship of the Crystal Man that was staying at an altitude of thousands of meters, the ground forces could do nothing, and a forced attack would only be in vain, so it was better to get out of the strike range of the Destroyer gunship first, and wait until their own air force and air defense forces shot down or drove away (the middle and lower level of the front-line troops did not know the movement of their own space fleet) the enemy starship, and then re-launched the offensive - on the contrary, after being bombarded by the Destroyer gunboat, the city turned into a plain landscape would only be more convenient for the heavy armored troops to raid.

As for the destruction of the city? Will Swiss bankers and financiers have any opinions...... Let them go to the Sijing people to protest, we can't help it, and it's not us who is destroying Geneva anyway.

The initiative of the front-line troops to retreat, although the command center did not give a direct order, but then also recognized their decision, let the troops that do not have the ability to strike to deal with the Sijing starship, normal people naturally could not give such a stupid order.

Even the merchants, after seeing such a scene, the more normal-minded could only wail for a while, lamenting that their property in Geneva was doomed, and only the irrational would be stupid enough to ask the military to protect their property in the city, but the latter at this time, no one paid attention.

Affected by the bombardment of the Destroyer gunship's plasma main gun, it was not only the ground forces of the human race, but also the heavy long-range anti-aircraft missile group they launched before was also impacted, and nearly half of the missiles that were not intercepted by the Destroyer gunship's laser point defense system were interfered with, either evaporated, or fell to the ground out of control, and in the end, only one-third of the original number successfully hit the Sijing Starship hovering in the air.

But this number is not enough to shoot down a large spacecraft that travels across the stars.

The anti-aircraft missile swarm just sparks on its shields, like festive fireworks, but that's all, the missiles don't even weaken the shield energy - because these missiles are not the Iron Eagle's own models.

After all, the coalition forces did not think about how to plan, whether the Sijing people would directly send a starship to the battlefield to participate in the battle, or if there was a whole space fleet on the human side. This is not the same as the situation in the Battle of Philadelphia, where the Philadelphia Sijing sent their supercarriers to destroy the whole of Philadelphia, but at the same time, the supercarriers were destroyed by Iron Eagle's orbital ion cannon salvo and the M-Army's nuclear bomb swarm.

Therefore, the criteria for formulating their plans were only formulated according to the experience of the previous battles with the ground forces of the Sijing people, and the air defense units deployed in the early days were only used to defend against fighters such as the Wind Rider Combat Boat, and never thought that they would face a starship, and those anti-aircraft missiles were not originally used to deal with starships, compared to these anti-aircraft missiles against fighters and bombers, the special missiles modified from heavy anti-ship missiles were more effective.

But they didn't plan ahead of time, because they didn't think it was necessary, and they felt that with their existing combat power, it was enough to deal with the Sijing people - so now they tasted the consequences.

Although there are still anti-aircraft missiles that continue to rise into the air to meet the enemy, when there is no advantage in quantity and quality, all they can do is to attack and harass, but not to really shoot down the starship. An effective attack can only be formed after the deployment of specialized anti-aircraft missile units.

In addition to the ground-to-air missile units, the fighter group that took off urgently from the air base near Geneva, also carrying improved anti-ship missiles, rushed over the battlefield. Since the Sijing people came to a destroyer gunship, not a planetary assault mothership, then these fighters and attack planes can use most of the payload to carry advanced anti-ship missiles, and do not need to carry too many air-to-air missiles - air-to-air missiles hitting starships are like scratching their boots.

It's not that humans don't have the means to deal with the Sijing starship, but it all takes time to prepare and deploy, as long as they can prepare in advance, even if they don't have the weapons and equipment provided by the Iron Eagle Organization, they can destroy a Sijing starship, they have done it before.

However, since the Iron Eagle Space Fleet intercepted the Starship in space, it is almost impossible to see the Starship of the Crystal in the atmosphere, which is why the coalition forces did not take into account the possibility of the Starship of the Crystal Man appearing when formulating the battle plan - of course, this is also their negligence.

The human coalition abandoned the area that had been controlled by the Sijing people because of the appearance of the Sijing starship in Geneva, and began to retreat, and the Sijing people naturally did not stand still stupidly, and their ground combat units also followed the human actions to occupy the urban areas abandoned by the human beings - unlike the human side, they also have to consider the destruction of the city, and there may be a situation where they accidentally injured their own people, the Sijing people absolutely dare to use plasma weapons to kill the troops of both sides when the ground forces of the two sides are entangled.

On the contrary, for the Sijing people, their ground forces are all low-value consumables, and being killed by the enemy or by themselves is just the same attrition.

The overall situation is not very good for the human coalition forces.

When the human forces retreated, the bow of the Sijing Destroyer gunboat once again appeared with a red light of energy. Obviously, the Sijing people did not intend to let go of the retreating human army, they planned to defeat or even annihilate the human army that appeared here one by one in this safe position, and then use this gap to tie a nail in the area controlled by the humans.

"Boom, boom, boom!!" Just as the gunboat was gathering energy, dozens of golden points of light, like meteors, smashed into the upper part of the ship's hull, exploding pieces of flames, blasting the starship's shield into a flash, indicating that this series of explosions has great destructive power on the starship's shield!

Then, before the flames of the explosion dissipated, multiple small holes appeared in the clouds in the sky that were visible to the naked eye, and beams of light that were difficult to see with the naked eye fell from top to bottom of those small holes and instantly fell to the upper area of the Destroyer gunship's hull!

The starship shield, which was originally under a lot of pressure in the serial explosion, was completely exhausted and disappeared in just a few seconds after being shot by more than a dozen beams, and now, the largest protective layer of the Destroyer gunship is gone.

"It's the orbital alert fleet that fired!" There was no need to contact anyone, the coalition ground command center already knew what was going on, after all, the fleet had already greeted them before, but they didn't expect the orbital fleet's fire support to be so effective, just one shot, and the shield of the Sijing Destroyer gunship was knocked out!

After all, the orbital fleet is a new thing, not to mention that it has been established for less than two years, and even the provision of fire support to the ground forces is also an option that was added after a large number of Higra-class destroyers entered service, and the space fleet had redundant capital ships that could be mobilized, and the implementation time was not even three months, and not every battle ground forces could get the support of the orbital fleet, and not every time the orbital strike was used, the Sijing people would also have starships to support the battlefield, so for most human coalition generals, It is only through the information that we can understand what orbital fire support is all about.

Now that they have seen the effect of orbital strikes with their own eyes, they naturally feel a little shock, but there are only these feelings, after all, they are only supported by an orbital alert fleet of less than ten starships, and only one Kodiak-class starship has the ability to strike close to the ground, and the remaining eight Higra-class starships only have the ability of orbital bombardment, and they cannot accurately hit a specific target from a distance of hundreds or thousands of kilometers like the former.

Only Vice Admiral Sheffield knows the situation better, although a Kodiak-class starship can suppress, and it can even be said that it can easily destroy a Sijing Destroyer gunship, but with the two sides separated by such a distance, and the Kodiak-class cannot use too many main weapons, it is impossible to destroy the Destroyer gunship in a short period of time.

"Did you make contact with the council?" So the lieutenant general looked at the officer in charge of communicating with the rear, "The Sijing people have already sent their starships!" I need their consent to open up access to our weapons! We need orbital bombing! ”
