Chapter 283: Siege
The Zerg army was still moving towards their intended assembly point, while the Alliance's fleets were following the retreating Zerg towards that area. However, there was one fleet that was an exception.
The temporary fleet led by Zhang Yunfan was originally following the Zerg's marching column, but now it is traveling alone in the universe, and the direction of travel is not the so-called Zerg assembly point.
In this way, the two camps in the Mine Star Zone are moving towards a common goal.
The first to arrive in this area were of course the few Zerg troops that were closest to this place that originally defended the space transmission, and then, the Zerg that suppressed Zhang Yunfan on the periphery also flew to the destination, and after a while, the Zerg that attacked the position of the Eighth Fleet also rushed over with several main fleets of the alliance.
Because of Zhang Yunfan's reminder earlier, the alliance fleet did not directly attack, and stopped at the periphery of this area.
The number of Zerg troops that have gathered together today is nearly three million, and they are facing the main fleets of the four alliances, totaling more than 50,000 warships. But this seems to be a numerical ratio of sixty to one, but it can't make the Zerg win this battle.
However, the alliance's side is not easy, after discovering that such a large scale of zerg can be hidden in this small mining star region, the commander of the Eighth Fleet is first in a cold sweat.
Not long ago, their fleet could only defend against the generals under the onslaught of millions of cosmic zergs, and when the reinforcements finally arrived, the front was already precarious, to the point that it could be broken at any time. And if the fleet attacking their positions reached two million, he was sure that his own fleet would have long since been reduced to ashes.
Therefore, he was also full of curiosity and gratitude for the temporary fleet that dragged the Zerg troops in this star area.
In addition to him, the captains of other fleets had the same mood. Everyone knows that the success or failure of this battle lies in whether the Eighth Fleet can hold that pass, and the main reason why the Eighth Fleet can hold it is that the temporary fleet has delayed the pace of the vast majority of the Zerg.
However, this temporary fleet is not an absolute main force, on the contrary, they are precisely the troops drawn from these fleets, and the strength of those units drawn out in vain, these commanders can be said to know very well, and they are not at all capable of having the strength to accomplish this kind of task.
Therefore, the attention of these commanders was naturally focused on Du Yu, the commander of this fleet.
At this time on the battlefield, the Zerg had begun to gather in their so-called assembly area, and put on a decisive battle posture, and although the alliance fleet was confident of defeating these enemies, because of the abnormal actions of the Zerg this time, they did not dare to attack rashly, so they first set up unmanned exploration ships to explore the surrounding terrain and hidden dangers.
During this period, the commanders of the various fleets also began to use the communication between the fleets to chat, and the topic was basically the area they were most curious about at present, such as Du Yu.
If you want to know about Du Yu's situation, you naturally have to ask the commander of the Third Fleet, Fafort, so now, Fafoe is annoying to explain in the constant questions of the commanders of various fleets.
Of course, it is impossible for him to tell Zhang Yunfan's secret to these colleagues, so he can only interpret it as an excuse such as a secret weapon, and then reject the "poaching" declaration sent by these colleagues again and again in the envy of everyone.
The commanders of the coalition fleet were chatting enthusiastically, but this did not prevent their subordinate fleets from acting accordingly.
In fact, a commander of their level is only to provide a general direction of attack for the subordinate battle fleet, and other specific tactical details are what those who carry out the corresponding orders need to do, and a standard fleet commander like Zhang Yunfan, who has been busy, does not exist in the command system of the alliance.
The relevant functions of the various fleets are not fierce, and formal work has begun at this moment, and in one intelligence meeting after another, and then the fleet's staff department conducts detailed analysis, a detailed and all-round report on the enemy situation is slowly being generated.
And before understanding the enemy's situation clearly, the various alliance fleets naturally will not rashly attack, but this does not mean that these four alliance fleets will not carry out other actions, they began to form a battle formation, and then thought about the surrounding area slowly moved, and finally occupied the four corners of the area.
Although this kind of position will not trap these zergs in this area, it can always give some deterrence to the Zerg army in the area, so that they do not dare to leave this unfavorable area at will.
However, the alliance fleet did not take the attack, but the Zerg did not seem to be so patient, and the alliance side had just stood in their respective positions, and four teams of Zerg troops immediately rushed out of the area, each of which numbered about 200,000.
This is nothing at all for these standard alliance fleets, their fleets are not like Zhang Yunfan's temporary fleet, Zhang Yunfan's fleet is basically composed of assault forces of various fleets, just the number and scale of the standard fleet, and those standard fleets with a complete combat system are completely incomparable.
Therefore, if the results completed by Zhang Yunfan are placed on these standard fleets, it is really not a novelty, so these four fleets really did not put the 200,000 Zerg in front of them at night, but this action of the Zerg also made these fleets more certain that there was definitely a conspiracy for the Zerg to choose this place, which made their actions more and more careful.
Therefore, these fleets invariably chose to fight and retreat, and finally left their original observation positions.
In the midst of the Alliance's dense artillery fire, the Zerg who came to attack began to die continuously, and finally slowly retreated into the area.
When the fleets found out in their confusion that these zergs had retreated to the area, and nothing threatened their fleet, they also relaxed and began to move forward slowly, preparing to return to their original position.
Just as they approached their original position, four Zerg armies were killed in the area again, and the number was still the same, and the lineup had not changed, but of course this was not the original one, after all, the casualties inflicted on them by the alliance fleet before were not small.
However, although it was the same as the previous attack, the frequency of the attack increased significantly, and the alliance fleet had to avoid its edge again and retreat to attack.
