Chapter 515: Defensive Battle (7)
When the Zerg landing force approached the defense planet, countless hidden small hatches on the surface of the planet slowly opened, and a small and medium-sized defense laser cannon was slowly pushed to the surface of the planet with the operation of the bottom lift.
Then the bottom of the laser cannon began to lock, and the large locks automatically settled, firmly fixing the position of the entire laser cannon.
When these laser cannons are completely fixed, the planet's short-range defense system is fully activated.
The muzzles of these close-range weapons began to move slowly, and through the guidance of the detectors, they locked onto their own targets one by one.
However, these changes on the planet, the Zerg army that is carrying out the landing operation is not aware of it, and is still carrying out the original actions, and these actions are pushing them step by step closer to the death fire net woven for them by the coalition forces.
These transport zergs of the Zerg do not possess the same high-intensity attack capabilities or solid heavy armor protection as the combat Zerg, and their bloated bodies make their already weak mobility even more embarrassing.
The only use of this kind of zerg is that it can be loaded, they have a huge empty sac in their body, which can fit a large number of items or lives into this empty sac, in addition, this empty sac can also be expanded, and the maximum load volume can even reach half of the volume of this transport zerg.
And this time, a large number of small Zerg were swallowed into the sacs of their bodies by these transport Zerg, and their combat methods were very simple.
It is to rely on the fire suppression of the long-range zerg, desperately rush to the defensive planet to land, when they successfully land or get close to the planet, those small zergs in their bodies will directly drill through the empty sac in their bodies, and directly tear their flesh and blood, and then directly participate in the battle.
Therefore, regardless of whether the Zerg can achieve the final victory or not, these transport cysts carrying the Zerg landing force have only one result, and that is death. It's just that some were killed by the artillery fire of the coalition forces, and some died under their own race.
When these cysts invade the planet's short-range defense system from all angles, the entire defense planet is like a hedgehog emitting a bright light, almost instantaneously, all angles are shining, and every transport cyst that tries to get close is cared for accordingly.
The fat bodies of these cysts were completely unable to withstand the attacks of the multiple coalition artillery fire, and the outer shells were pierced by the blazing laser beams, and clumps of green blood burst out in the void.
Although this threat of death can lead to the suppressed survival instinct of the Zerg, under the strong control of the brain worm, these Zerg did not react at all, even if their bodies were broken, they still moved forward according to their goal.
After one round of attacks, in an instant, the laser beam of the second round of attacks had come out of the disembowel, and instantly beckoned to the Zerg transport cysts in a hurry.
The various guns equipped with the planetary short-range defense system are all small and medium-caliber, and the rate of fire of all types of laser cannons is very fast, so the frequency of attack can be guaranteed.
The second round of attacks is complete, and the third round of attacks has arrived, giving the Zerg no respite at all.
After a few rounds of attacks, the first round of transport cysts of the Zerg was declared extinct. And the Zerg also understood that it was not enough to suppress the long-range firepower on the defensive planet, and if it continued, it would only be a meaningless attrition, and it was just sending the results to the officers and soldiers of the coalition army.
As a result, the transport troops that had not yet advanced to the range of the defense planet immediately returned, and although these troops also suffered considerable losses on the way back, it was better to have a surplus than to stay there for meaningless consumption.
As for the cyst corpses that have been completely left there, the Zerg don't intend to waste them.
Those small zergs who were originally hiding in the bodies of these cysts took advantage of the fact that the coalition close defense weapons lost their targets and stopped working, they directly cut open the stomachs of the cysts, rushed out of these insect corpses, and continued to march towards this defensive planet with their own abilities.
On the planet's close defense system, the target designation point in the detector, which had gradually dimmed, suddenly disintegrated, and then dense small dots appeared near the original point, and then slowly traveled towards the defense planet.
The small Zerg units in the cysts were originally selected for land warfare, and they flew around the universe at a worrying speed, a fraction of the slow transport cysts they had ridden before.
In the void, this Zerg force that acted like this was simply the perfect target for the coalition's defenses, but these small Zerg, who had lost hope of returning, had no choice but to move towards their goal at their own pace.
At this time, the planet's close-in laser cannon began to operate again, and under the guidance of the probe's instructions, it once again aimed its muzzle at the void, ready to enter the battle at any time.
When the vanguard of these small zergs slowly broke away from those insect corpses, the near-fire power of the defending planet exploded in an instant, and countless laser beams poured down towards the coalition fleet, and the halo of energy explosion for a while instantly covered those small zergs.
These small zergs don't have hypertrophied bodies like cysts, and in the face of incoming laser beams, they are in a state, that is, they are killed in seconds. As long as it is concentrated by these laser beams, it only takes one shot to completely disappear this zerg.
The dense laser fire instantly turned the entire short-range defense area into a sea of death.
These small Zerg under mental control have been completely reduced to high-quality targets for the Coalition's near-fire resistance, and in the final stage, some Coalition officers and soldiers have even abandoned the system's self-aiming assistance and changed it to manual shooting as their own shooting training.
In the end, the Zerg attack was forced to fail, but this attack also gave them a revelation to know more about the coalition fleet.
The Zerg army, which never counted the damage, naturally did not retreat because of this defeat, on the contrary, the Zerg who had gained experience sent a larger force again at the same moment when those small Zerg were wiped out, and began a new round of onslaught.
And the coalition side did not retreat in the slightest, not only the besieged planet, but even the main fortress in the rear and other defensive planets began to suppress this area with firepower to assist the defensive planet's defense mission.
In this regard, the Zerg army is not afraid at all, on the one hand, it dispatches some Zerg to other directions to contain these external firepower, and on the other hand, it continues to strengthen the offensive on the frontal battlefield, in order to solve the immediate trouble as quickly as possible.
