Chapter 640: Changing Goals
"Are you sure this is possible? Wouldn't it be too risky? Ling Aocang said in an unbelievable tone.
"That's what you told me when I proposed that set of tactics before!" Zhang Yunfan said lightly.
"This ......" Ling Aocang was speechless for a while, and after a pause, he said slowly with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I think compared to your current plan, that plan is still very reliable!" ”
"Anyway, the two Zerg troops closest to us are about to arrive on the battlefield, even if we don't deal with them now, we will have to deal with the attack of these two forces immediately after the bloody battle with the third line of defense......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Yunfan's voice couldn't help but be very low, making it even more infectious, and continued: "If the war really develops into that situation, it is better to destroy one of them now, and it will be easier later......
Ling Aocang was silent for a long time, until the third line of defense really began to approach the battlefield, and the various fleets of the coalition began to sound the battle alarm, before he slowly spoke: "How many layers of certainty can you have?" ”
"If it is a Zerg under normal circumstances, it may not even reach one percent, but in the current state of the Zerg, it is about sixty percent!" Zhang Yunfan broke out his estimate.
"One percent, sixty percent ......" Ling Aocang muttered, "It's not very ...... grasp."
"But the rewards are enough for us to gamble!" Zhang Yunfan immediately added.
"Indeed!" Ling Aocang also felt extremely distressed because of this possibility, and finally after thinking about it for a long time, he still made up his mind and decided to support Zhang Yunfan's plan, saying: "Then you can do it boldly!" If something happens, our brothers will stand up to it together! ”
In this regard, Zhang Yunfan smiled, but did not say anything......
——————————————————
On the battlefield, before relieving from the warm atmosphere of annihilating half of the Zerg's attack camp, a new mission was ushered in again.
However, this time, the target of the coalition fleet was no longer the third line of defense of the Zerg closest to them, but the Zerg troops on both sides closest to them in the overall encirclement of the Zerg.
In fact, the nature of these two units is not the main combat force, their main responsibility is to monitor and block the battle line, and their real combat capability is actually not very strong.
Therefore, if the coalition forces set the operational goal of such a force, it will undoubtedly be a relatively easy task.
However, if the coalition forces choose the method of warfare in this way, there is a great risk, as said before, once the third line of defense of the Zerg does not choose to attack, but turns back to attack the expeditionary legion, then the entire expeditionary legion will suffer a great defeat.
But even with such an obvious risk, Zhang Yunfan still made this choice, and everything that happened after that depended on the command level of the Zerg at this time.
And the choice of the Zerg really did not disappoint Zhang Yunfan.
As the captain of the personal guard, who has always been arrogant and full of contempt for the human alliance, has now been completely aroused by this coalition fleet, and when he found out that the coalition fleet was turning, he didn't think about it, and directly ordered the troops to adjust the defense line and continue the pursuit.
Ye Su just lay in the open space behind him, quietly watching this hysteria, and began to hide his existence as much as possible, lest he be unable to move and talk about his punching bag again.
Ye Su knew in his heart that the most taboo thing in the face of the coalition was to be swept into the rhythm of the other party, because the coalition army's ability to "snowball" in terms of superiority was super strong, as long as they occupied a little advantage, they could use this as a starting point to continuously expand their own advantages until the opponent was powerless to resist.
On the battlefield today, the coalition forces have undoubtedly occupied the initiative on the battlefield, and the captain of the personal guard, who has almost lost his mind, is now unaware of entering the rhythm of the opponent's battle.
Therefore, the best way for the Zerg to deal with it now is to maintain their position, adjust their mentality, and always stick to their own combat style.
Just like in the previous battles, defend the places that must be attacked, attack the places that must be defended, and turn all your targets to those expeditionary legions behind them that are still in a state of melee.
It is impossible for the coalition's fleet of less than two million to make a splash on this battlefield, so if they want to do something big, this expeditionary corps is the existence they must rescue.
Therefore, they will target the expeditionary legion, and the human fleets that have just left will quickly return to their positions, and then, these human fleets that they have grasped will enter their battle rhythm, and the initiative on the battlefield will naturally be held in their hands.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Zerg choose to carry out this kind of operation, but it is clear that it is almost impossible for the Zerg to carry out such an operation, at least in its current state.
Ye Su just watched all this happen silently, he saw through everything, but buried it in his heart, and completely wanted to remind him.
————————————————————
On the coalition side, when they found that the Zerg also began to follow them and began to adjust the direction of their advance, they slowly relaxed, since the Zerg was already determined to follow their rhythm, then don't blame them for being too heavy.
Soon, the coalition fleet was divided into two sections in the process of high-speed travel, one was the faster assault fleet headed by Tianying and Tiandu, and the other was the defensive fleet with thicker armor and stronger firepower, with Tianling and Tianyu as the main backbone.
Due to the objective speed gap between the two sides, the two fleets gradually widened the distance, and finally completely divided into two forces.
Under the continuous burst of speed of the assault fleet, the fleet was soon close to their target, and at this time, the defensive fleet in the rear was moving very slowly, and even decreasing, so that the distance between it and the Zerg troops pursuing in the rear gradually narrowed.
Ahead, the combined encirclement force of the Zerg quickly exchanged fire with the coalition assault fleet.
Due to the transmission of information between the Zerg, this Zerg force made defensive arrangements against the attack of the coalition fleet early, and launched a complete defensive counterattack formation.
Because of this, this fleet, which is not strong in itself, withstood the first round of the outbreak of the coalition assault fleet, but it only stopped this round.
Under the command of Zhang Yunfan, these assault fleets quickly relied on their super high movement speed to quickly approach the Zerg's defensive position, and after a few rounds of hard fighting, the assault fleet successfully tore a few holes in this Zerg's defensive front.
Subsequently, the fleet behind them launched a new round of strangulation operations based on this.
