Chapter 451: The Counterattack Begins

The battle continued, due to the decrease in the number of Zerg on the reinforcement front, the second echelon finally had a chance to breathe, and after several alternating protections, each group gradually recovered its state, and finally began to gradually resume the initial attack state.

In the middle of the battlefield, the third echelon continued to advance, although the firepower of the heavy battleships in the rear was not as strong as the second echelon, but because the number of Zerg troops they faced was relatively small compared to the number of Zerg on the first line, they did not bear too much pressure.

And the most pressure among the three echelons is the first echelon, which has not suffered much damage before.

Maybe it was because he wanted to stabilize the internal environment, or maybe he felt that the two battlefields in front of him could not open up the situation for the time being, and the Zerg directly attacked the first echelon in the camp after being frustrated in two consecutive battlefields.

Almost in an instant, the two million Zerg troops who had been on guard on the periphery attacked instantly, and after that, nearly two million came one after another, and the other Zerg did not directly pay for it due to the narrow territory, but chose to move around the periphery of the battlefield.

When Zhang Yunfan saw that the Zerg could not carry out the offensive smoothly on the front line, he had already predicted that the Zerg's strategic target might be transferred to them first, first using the numerical advantage to encircle and annihilate them, and then he could go all out to deal with the two fleets in the front.

After detecting the Zerg on the periphery, Zhang Yunfan immediately opened the plan, and the various groups under the fleet immediately began to act, they relied on each other and began to move towards the first half of the Zerg camp in a controlled manner.

In the first half of the Zerg, there are already two battlefields opened by the coalition fleet, and most of the Zerg in this part are also struggling to get closer to these two battlefields, but due to limited space, these redundant Zerg can only stay in this space, and only when the same clan in front of them needs to be replenished, they can have a chance to play.

Because of this, the rear transportation of the Zerg was quickly congested in this area, and the front of the camp gradually became the strongest part of the entire Zerg array.

This kind of intelligence is not a secret to the coalition forces with strong reconnaissance methods, so the Zerg never thought that the breakthrough direction of the first echelon would be chosen in such a place.

Therefore, the Zerg attacking force, which has 4 million troops, has let go of all other directions, and after symbolically stationing a small number of troops in this direction, it has not continued to add troops.

After the first echelon easily swept away these fleets, it did not continue to attack the front of the Zerg, but thought that after moving a distance in the direction of the front of the camp, it slowly stopped.

This move immediately overjoyed the Zerg troops who were hurriedly pursuing in the rear, and immediately accelerated towards them.

And in the face of the strong enemy's first echelon, there was not the slightest sign of panic, and the formations of each battleship group began to change slowly, all of them changed from defensive formations to the most offensive assault formations, as if they were planning to fight to the death with the surrounding Zerg here.

If this kind of action of the first echelon is placed in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the situation, it is nothing more than a panicked escape, and after finding that the road ahead is blocked, they swear to fight to the death and fight to lose both, but the Zerg as its opponent does not dare to think so.

When this battle began, the Zerg found that the opponent they faced had outstanding command ability, and in the battle with them, every action of the opponent was meaningful, and no matter how far apart they were, the scattered fleets could still form a good linkage.

And how could an opponent of this level make such a fatal mistake at this critical point of life and death!

When the Zerg army slowly approached the first echelon formation, the various battleship groups made moves again, with Zhang Yunfan's Sky Shadow Fleet taking the lead, and the other groups followed, and the situation on the battlefield seemed to return to the time when the battle had just begun, but that time the first echelon was outside the Zerg camp, but this time it was completely wrapped inside.

Zhang Yunfan also took out the only remaining assault shield ships in the Celestial Shadow Fleet and lined them up at the front of the array to cover his own assault.

In fact, the reason why the first echelon launched an attack at such a time is also a helpless move, after all, the first echelon is not like the other two echelons, in order to ensure the speed of the assault, they eliminated all the fleets originally equipped in the fleet, plus the Zerg troops in the front of the camp that may return at any time behind them, so that the first echelon cannot have a stable rear like the other two fleets.

Therefore, it is not that Zhang Yunfan does not want to choose a less risky defense, but he has definitely realized that even if he chooses to let go, he will not be able to defend it, and he can only consume his fleet strength faster.

Choosing to assault the Zerg camp can be said to be the best choice at present, while giving better play to the characteristics of their fleet, it can also achieve Zhang Yunfan's purpose.

After the Zerg discovered the actions of the first echelon, although they still did not understand the purpose of their actions, they were also not afraid of the coalition fleet that had already attacked them, and rushed directly towards the first echelon.

When the two sides marched to the attack distance, the attacks on both sides began to threaten, and the energy sprayed by the coalition naval guns and the Zerg instantly intertwined in the void between the two sides.

The attacks of both sides were almost simultaneously greeted by each other's bodies, and on the side of the coalition forces, the assault shield ships at the forefront took most of the damage, and most of the battleships were completely disabled at this moment, while the remaining attacks were shared by the Celestial Shadow fleet in the front row, and the damage suffered was not very large, but some were unlucky to be beaten red with protective shields.

And the damage suffered by the Zerg is obviously much greater than that of the coalition camp, even if there are no heavy warships in the first echelon, but at such a close distance, the naval guns carried on the main battleship are enough to cause fatal damage to the vast majority of ordinary Zerg, and a salvo of the coalition is millions of attacks, which has a fatal damage to the Zerg formation.

Of course, the attacks on both sides did not stop, and the coalition forces relied on their own firepower density and attack frequency, pouring their own firepower into the Zerg camp one after another, and the Zerg also relied on their numerical superiority, and constantly added new Zerg into battle, giving the coalition a lot of pressure.

After several rounds of attacks, the first-line position of the Zerg was finally completely disabled, and the follow-up reinforcements were temporarily abandoned by thousands because of the fierceness of the offensive, and in order to get this result, the first echelon also paid a lot of price, nearly fifty percent of the fleet was damaged, and one percent of the fleet was completely destroyed......
