Chapter 459: Flanking Attack
Taking advantage of the shock of this explosion, the forward fleet of the second echelon rushed into the defensive position at the first time, and the other fleets immediately followed, and the difference in numbers was not as great as in the previous battle, so the movement in formation was much more useful than usual.
The nearly 50,000 warships of the second echelon directly cut the remaining Zerg troops in half, but Zhang Yunfan was obviously unwilling to entangle with these Zerg endlessly here, and after leaving part of the fleet to entangle with it, the forward fleet rushed directly in the direction of the Zerg command camp.
And at this time, this exclusive defense zerg now seems to have no intention of entanglement, seeing that their own camp is broken, they will no longer continue to defend, so they simply follow this divided formation and withdraw from the battle.
In the face of this abnormal operation of the Zerg, Zhang Yunfan certainly knew the reason for this, not only him, but all those who had eyes already knew it by now.
"So many again?" Zhang Yunfan looked at the Zerg troops that were already slowly in place in the projection, and reluctantly connected to the communication of the intelligence analysis team in the command room, and said: "Count the number of these Zergs, as well as the share of combat power, and see if there is anything special!" ”
Soon, the statistical results were transmitted from the internal communication to the virtual screen in front of Zhang Yunfan.
"A million?" Zhang Yunfan looked at the overall number of the Zerg at the top of the statistical report, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't make too many comments, and listed all the contents of the entire report.
"How?" Xuan Yu on the side asked cautiously.
Zhang Yunfan glanced back at her, then turned his gaze back to the screen and said, "Oh, it's nothing! The configuration of the Zerg troops has not changed much, except for a little more in number, there are no other characteristics! ”
"Shall we attack then?" Xuan Yu looked at the Zerg army on the projection, which had skyrocketed several times compared to the previous formation, and asked with some concern.
"That's it!" Zhang Yunfan said these four words, and the rest of the words didn't need him to say more, these four words already showed his attitude.
The second echelon fleet moved again, but this time, in the face of such a large number of enemies, the speed of action has slowed down significantly, and the entire fleet has become calm, which is obviously ready for a big battle with the other side.
However, due to the reduction in speed, the Zerg army that was already on display could not wait for the attack of the second echelon for a while.
As a result, the Zerg, who were completely sure, began to take the initiative to attack the coalition fleet, and the second echelon did not hesitate at all, and continued to move in the original direction.
At the moment when the two camps were about to reach the line of fire, the coalition forces finally began to move.
The original camp of the fleet inside the second echelon was not a defensive war, but now, each fleet instantly strengthened, and the speed of the entire fleet was pushed to the highest in a very short period of time, and these fleets were directly divided into several teams according to the attachment of their respective fleets, and attacked the Zerg camp from different directions.
"The Zerg is still the Zerg, and I don't understand the battle formation at all!" Zhang Yunfan said lightly. "Each fleet only needs to fight on the periphery or inside the Zerg camp, and there is no need to forcibly break through the battle line!"
"I don't understand this!" Xuan Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked with a puzzled face: "If we don't break through the Zerg's position quickly, there will still be more than 100,000 of those difficult Zerg troops in the rear, even if we are not afraid of being attacked from both sides, but once the battle situation reaches a stalemate, won't our operational goal of attacking the Zerg command organization be completed?" ”
"Is this the operational goal of our second echelon?" Zhang Yunfan replied with a smile.
"Isn't it? So what are we doing here now? Xuan Yu was confused by Zhang Yunfan's answer.
"I did say that we should better put the command structure of the Zerg to the end, but I never said that this kind of thing should be done by the second echelon itself!" Zhang Yunfan replied very calmly.
"Which fleet could that be?" Xuan Yu immediately turned his head to look at the distribution of combat power in the entire region, where are there other coalition fleets here besides the second echelon? Do you still expect the Zerg to kill each other?
"I can't say that!" Zhang Yunfan put on an unfathomable expression and said, "You have to leave some suspense on the battlefield." ”
“……”
————————————————
The entire second echelon, under the guidance of the spirit of this instruction of the commander Zhang Yunfan, began to entangle with the Zerg army.
The coalition fleet is mobile and agile with strong firepower; The Zerg army was large and fearless of death, and after the coalition forces no longer carried out forced assaults, the battles between the two sides began to come and go, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat for a while.
Appearing in this scene, the Zerg who still had the lingering charm in their hands would be sorry for their huge number if they didn't add a force at this time, so as Zhang Yunfan expected, the defense Zerg that had been scattered in the rear reunited in a very short period of time.
Although these zergs can't exert their original abilities, just with some resident racial characteristics, they are enough to become a force with good combat power, plus the number of these hundreds of thousands, it is very suitable to use them to carry out a back-attack on the second echelon!
For this back attack, how could Zhang Yunfan, who already had this premonition, not make arrangements, just after a certain distance of the defense of the Zerg advance, there was a blast in the void, but this time it was not because of missiles, but because of the floating machine mines placed by the second echelon of the guard troops in advance.
No matter what kind of Zerg these mines are attacking, as long as the Zerg is close to a certain range, they will be directly pasted on, and after close contact with them, they will instantly burst out with powerful energy, shattering everything around them.
And this time, these Zerg, who have been attacking their opponents in the same way, have finally tasted similar methods.
However, because the number of mines arranged in consecutive sentences was not large, only two or three columns were shallowly arranged, so it only caused some losses in the front array of the Zerg, and did not really hurt the root of this Zerg army.
In the command room of the flagship of the second echelon, everyone is nervously busy, but under this busy appearance, there is a worry about the situation of the fleet itself, and the performance of these people also reflects the state of the members of the subordinate fleets at this time to a large extent.
Everyone knew that those few mine defense lines could not stop the attack of those zergs at all, and the entire fleet was in danger of being flanked. If this kind of crisis is not handled well, it is likely to lead to the collapse of the entire fleet, after all, although death is not terrible, who can want to die so meaninglessly!
As a result, the scattered fleets had halted some offensive operations and seemed ready to receive and carry out a retreat order at any moment.
