Chapter 566: Pursuit

After determining the next target of action, the two sides of the communication determined the location of both sides, and then agreed on a fleet assembly point, followed by a series of fleet actions such as the convergence of the legions.

During the integration of the fleet, Moon Linxian also returned to the Heavenly Determination Fleet to preside over the work, and soon, the two fleets of Celestial Shadow and Heavenly Determination sailed towards the assembly point.

By the time the two fleets arrived, the Tianling and Tianyu fleets had already been waiting there for a long time.

Now, a lot of time has passed since the Zerg army has withdrawn, and there is really not much time left for them to delay, so the Second Expeditionary Corps of the Ming Dynasty embarked on the road of pursuit after hastily combining the formation.

——————————————————

On the battlefield, the evacuation of the Zerg army can be said to be particularly unsmooth, although there are still many coalition fleets that are not involved, but behind them, the attacks of the coalition pursuing forces have not been heard for a moment.

However, although the Zerg troops have completed their mission, they will not be beaten passively, nor will they consume their troops meaninglessly, so they naturally have a certain response plan.

The action made by the Zerg is to fortify in layers, in fact, it is to divide a part of the troops to block the pursuing troops of the coalition army, and save the remaining large troops to escape smoothly at the expense of small troops.

This is a clumsy operation, but it is very effective for today's coalition forces.

Although the number of these interception troops left behind is not large each time, the characteristic of these zergs is that they are flexible and mobile, and they belong to the kind of assault zerg that are relatively fast, and when they abandon the dense formation, they also become a difficult to completely eliminate the zerg troops.

And how to completely eliminate these Zerg troops, it is difficult for the coalition forces to pursue other troops in front with peace of mind, which also leads to the decline in the pursuit speed of the coalition fleet.

However, with the absolute advantage of speed, the coalition fleet will not be left too far behind by the Zerg army, of course, all this can only be established on the basis that the Zerg no longer increase the frequency of sending blocking troops.

But in fact, this kind of action of the Zerg is nothing more than a senseless struggle, the reason is that the current Zerg troops can be said to have no reserve strength at all, and even if they do, they may have just entered the original alliance war zone, and it is almost impossible to save this force across a star field.

After all, if it can really be rescued, then the Zerg will not go to great lengths to send a new Zerg species to risk taking those hidden troops away, and it would be better to have a big army close before and fight with the coalition forces?

There is also the problem of tactics themselves, because no matter how they send out the blocking troops, in the end it is their own troops that are consumed, and this kind of consumption does not care once or twice, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones eight times out of ten, but what about more?

This force is still so far away from the strength of the Zerg entrenchment, and if it continues to maintain this method of warfare, it is likely to be exhausted halfway through.

And the troops sent in the current rounds can be found that the Zerg has been deeply aware of this and has begun to reduce the number of blocking troops, but after all, it is still a symptom but not a cure, and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time.

What the coalition forces are emphasizing now is not to solve this Zerg army as much as possible, because even if they have re-attached importance to the Zerg army, they still think that this Zerg force will definitely have no other outcome based on the actual situation, so what they want to do now is how to solve all the problems as soon as possible.

The reorganized Second Expeditionary Corps quickly caught up with the allied pursuers without any hindrance, but what they had to do was different from the larger forces.

After reaching the pursuit camp, the Second Expeditionary Legion, led by the Shadow Fleet, made a large turn and directly broke away from the actions of the coalition forces. And after communication, some of the fleets in the original pursuit camp also followed them out of the group.

However, the fleet did not move far, only made a brief lateral adjustment, and then resumed the pursuit of the Zerg forces.

It is precisely because of this horizontal adjustment that this fleet has been given sufficient room for action, so that it can smoothly bypass these blocking forces left by the Zerg army.

And because the Zerg has repeatedly reduced the number of blocking troops, it is impossible for these troops to include this flanking force in the interception surface, and they are not capable of intercepting at all. One could only watch as these fleets crossed their lines and rushed towards the larger forces.

Before the Zerg had time to make a countermeasure, the high-speed allied fleet had already crossed the two lines of defense it had laid and was still rushing forward.

For this kind of coalition fleet, the Zerg does not have any good way, at present, it seems that the only way to avoid the desperate situation of being wiped out by the coalition fleet may be the only way to avoid the total annihilation of the coalition fleet, after all, there are so many detachments, there are always one or two teams of Zerg who can survive.

However, this choice of the Zerg is something that the coalition has been waiting for a long time.

The first is the powerful detection ability of the coalition forces, under this ability, all the Zerg squads will have nothing to hide, all in the eyes of the coalition fleet, and there is no need to imagine that there will be any fish that will slip through the net.

The second is that the single strength of the Zerg is not strong, and the small-scale Zerg troops are actually unable to cause any losses to the coalition forces at all. Moreover, the coalition forces can also follow and divide their troops, and they can completely take into account all the scattered small forces of the Zerg.

At that time, the firepower gap between the small units of the Zerg that have lost the cover of the group and the coalition detachments that are scattered at the same time will undoubtedly become larger, coupled with the interception capability that will inevitably be reduced, it can be said that if the Zerg adopt this method, it will only speed up the speed at which they are completely annihilated by the annihilated coalition fleet.

The command of the Zerg is also very aware of these factors, otherwise the instructions for dispersal and evacuation would have been issued a long time ago, so why wait until now!

And now in the face of the march of this flank force, the Zerg also understands that this time it is really impossible to evacuate safely. After thinking about this, this Zerg army fortunately gave up the idea of evacuating, and directly turned around and rushed towards the pursuing force that was advancing at a rapid speed.

But just after they made this move, the coalition fleet that was originally rushing towards them made an evasive action at the first time, directly deviating from the predetermined track, making the Zerg army ready for the final battle completely confused.

So, the Zerg army first tried to pursue, but this pursuit fleet automatically narrowed the distance between the two sides.

In the face of the other party's action, the Zerg breathed a sigh of relief, but just as they were about to turn back and continue to evacuate, the pursuing force quietly chased after them......
