Chapter 657: Attack from both sides

Just as the coalition assault fleet cowered as it advanced, the Zerg finally found a flaw in them, and a large force rushed directly to the flank and rear of the coalition fleet, ready to deliver a hammer blow to the coalition fleet they hated so much.

These actions of the Zerg troops naturally could not escape the powerful detection capabilities of the coalition fleet, and their every move was all watched by Zhang Yunfan, as the commander of the fleet.

But even if the Zerg made such a threatening move, the commander ignored it and just quietly watched the other party's actions.

Soon, the Zerg army had already completed the arrangement, and the Zerg troops that had moved in place came out from the flank and rear of the coalition forces, while the coalition fleet changed the direction of advance on the spot and launched a surprise attack on the Zerg camp in front of the right.

The Zerg didn't care too much about this kind of attack by the coalition forces, and in their eyes, the coalition forces did not directly break through the strength of their fleet now.

By the time these fleets and their targets were fighting, the main attacking forces in the flanks and rear were just in place, and when the time came, the coalition fleet would basically be cold under the attack from both sides.

But they can know such an easy-to-understand truth, how could Zhang Yunfan not understand it?

But he still chose to do it.

The firepower fleets of the two sides quickly exchanged fire, but this time, Zhang Yunfan did not use the close combat that the assault fleet is best at, but began to use his own firepower to engage the Zerg camp in front after entering the range of the ship's guns.

You must know that these fleets are not equipped with firepower output type warships, and the so-called long-range attack power is not as powerful as that of warships of the same level, and the ability to damage the Zerg is also very poor.

However, there is also an advantage to fighting at this distance, that is, the Zerg's already weak long-range attacks will not cause much damage at this distance, even those assault ships that are not very strong in defense can also resist.

Moreover, maintaining this distance between the two sides also minimizes the degree of entanglement between the camps, so that there will be no situation where they can't withdraw if they want to.

But this situation is also the last thing the Zerg is willing to do, whether it is in a completely defeated position in terms of mobility or movement speed, they are probably most annoyed by this kind of one-hit retreat, flexible and mobile play.

Now that they can't wait for the coalition fleet to take the initiative to catch up, the Zerg only needs to automatically send it up, wanting to engage in close combat with the coalition forces.

But just when the Zerg forces were activated, the coalition fleet actually took the initiative to retreat, so that the distance between the two sides was always kept in the original state.

This can be regarded as a rush to the Zerg army, and immediately increased its speed, and the coalition army also began to adjust its own speed, which is simply too simple for the coalition fleet, which is already overwhelming in speed performance.

However, the Zerg side will not only do this kind of meaningless thing, and it is not because they want to catch up with the coalition fleet when they speed up the wrong speed, because at this time, behind their target, the huge outflanking fleet is advancing in this direction at high speed.

And the faster the Zerg on this battlefield, the faster the coalition fleet dares to enter their encirclement.

But how could the Zerg's careful thinking be hidden from Zhang Yunfan.

For this plan of the Zerg, it is not easy to find a position if you are in the battlefield, but Zhang Yunfan looks at the current situation from the battlefield.

The powerful reconnaissance system of the coalition fleet presented everything that happened on the entire battlefield to Zhang Yunfan through the battlefield projection, so that he could observe every move on the entire battlefield from the perspective of God.

Therefore, with such clear information in front of you, as long as you are not blind, you can find that the company fleet is getting closer and closer to the outflanking forces of those zergs in the rear.

However, for this mortal threat that was already imminent, Zhang Yunfan did not change in the slightest, and continued to order the fleet to maintain speed and retreat to the rear.

Zhang Yunfan's command action had already made the fleet commanders who obeyed the command break out in a cold sweat, after all, they were not blind, and they knew that the threat was getting closer and closer to them.

However, no matter how many times they passed the documents to them, they were always rejected.

In desperation, these commanders could only curse Zhang Yunfan's arbitrariness while faithfully carrying out the orders he issued.

In the flagship command room of the Celestial Shadow Fleet, Zhang Yunfan sat on his command position, quietly watching the step-by-step changes in the battlefield situation, looking at the relative position of the Zerg troops on the battlefield projection, and constantly deducing the possible situation in his mind.

Zhang Yunfan's eyes were firmly locked on the pursuing fleet in front of them, carefully observing his relative position on the battlefield, and his mouth kept muttering: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Obviously, at this time, Zhang Yunfan had already regarded this Zerg pursuit force as an important factor in his subsequent actions, and as for how this "factor" was used, only Zhang Yunfan himself knew.

When the Zerg's pursuing force marched to the ideal position set by Zhang Yunfan, the entire assault front received an order from Zhang Yunfan at the same time—an assault order with a road map.

After the baptism of the previous wars, these commanders today dare not slack off on Zhang Yunfan's orders, especially this kind of assault order.

Almost the next moment after the order was issued, the entire assault group began to act according to Zhang Yunfan's order.

As a result, the original initiative to retreat was gone, and these coalition fleets, which were still retreating at a low speed, began to burst out with strong momentum.

The tail thrusters of all the battleships all spewed out blazing blue flames at this moment, and the entire fleet entered a state of high-speed assault.

Due to the pre-battle preparations and the various functions that have been in a state of warm-up during the battle, the coalition fleet has completed the corresponding formation conversion almost effortlessly, and the interval between them is completely insufficient for the Zerg troops to react.

By the time the news reached the command center of the Zerg, the assault of the coalition forces had been fully launched, and by the time the response plan was conveyed to the Zerg forces, the coalition fleet had already marched to the halfway position.

Just when the Zerg army was about to stop and fight to the death, Zhang Yunfan directly commanded the fleet to kill the flank of the Zerg.

However, this time, the Zerg reacted quickly, and the moment the coalition fleet began to change direction, these Zerg troops immediately began to act accordingly.

This is all thanks to the attack formation that the Zerg troops have been maintaining, which allows this Zerg pursuit force to maintain a good mobility ability, if it is changed to a defensive formation, it may only be able to watch this coalition fleet kill their flanks without any choice......
