Chapter 255: Semi-mechanized
HonYung's dragon pierced the sky, but HonYung was greeted by Knife's four anti-aircraft turrets standing neatly in the mine. [No pop-up novel network] and a Bunker next to the anti-aircraft turret.
Although from the attack power of the Bunker, HonYung could tell that the Knife had put up to two spearmen in the Bunker, but the four dense anti-aircraft turrets had already made HonYung's face green.
The Wyvern can easily destroy a lone anti-aircraft turret one by one, but the power of four anti-aircraft turrets gathered together is not comparable to that of one or two anti-aircraft turrets. What's more, the Knife can pull a bunch of SCVs at any time to repair these anti-aircraft turrets.
There has also been a confrontation between Boxer and Chojja in history, when Boxer also used the tank RUSH to push Chojja into a corner, and Chojja also used the tactic of converting all the economy into a dragon counterattack.
The battle ended with the loss of the main bases on both sides, and the Boxer was better maneuvered, using the existing forces to annihilate all of Chojja's buildings.
And after Boxer finally won the game, he answered a sentence from the reporter at the press conference, which also interestingly illustrated the problem of qualitative change caused by quantitative change in the interstellar.
The question Boxer was asked "What would you pay attention to when you meet an opponent like Chojja in the future?"
Boxer replied with a smile, "When I'm going to RUSH him in the future, I'll definitely put four anti-aircraft turrets in the base." ”
Boxer: In that game, although a bunker and two anti-aircraft turrets were built in the base, they were still forcibly broken by Chojja's wyvern, and they lost their financial resources and the possibility of continuing to send troops.
If it weren't for Boxer's micro-manipulation that was far better than Chojja at the time, it might not have been Boxer who might have won the game. That's why Boxer would say that after he won the game.
HonYung is well aware that when a Terran implements a tactic like tank RUSH, the defense in the base will be empty, so he will launch a cauldron like Chojja.
However, HonYung also knew that even Boxer thought that as long as he built four air defenses, he would be able to cope with the counterattack of Chojja's Wyvern. So when HonYung saw the four air defenses of the Knife, his face turned green with anger.
HonYung didn't expect Knife to be so obscene. Because at a glance, the Knife didn't even make a BA. It turned out that he would rather not be a nurse than make four anti-aircraft turrets. HonYung thinks that Knife can really be described as perverted.
However, HonYung had no way to take these four air defenses. However, the artillery fire of the Knife had already begun to affect the sub-base of HonYung at this time.
Although HonYung knew that the situation was very unfavorable for him, the quality of the top master still made HonYung see the weaknesses of Knife's defense at a glance.
Knife's four anti-aircraft turrets are holding the Knife mining area, so although HonYung has a lot of flying dragons, he is helpless against the Knife's mining area. However, the four anti-aircraft turrets of the Knife cannot protect all the buildings in the Knife base.
Some of the buildings on the outskirts of the Knife mine that were not protected by anti-aircraft turrets, including two Barracks at Knife, were immediately completely exposed to Wyvern's attack.
***
Knife's tanks have already begun to attack the sub-base of HonYung. A tank attack can reduce this base to ashes in tens of seconds.
HonYung, on the other hand, has slowly calmed down. The more dangerous it is, the sharper one's senses become. And although HonYung's situation seems very dangerous, HonYung feels that he has a glimmer of opportunity.
HonYung's Wyvern has destroyed all two barracks in the Knife base. During this time, the economy in Knife's base did not stop for a minute, but not a single force joined the battlefield.
Although HonYung is about to lose its sub-base, the number of HonYung's flying dragons is only a lot more.
Therefore, in HonYung's view, Knife's offensive will stop at most until its own base is destroyed. Because without the cooperation of the nurses, the small number of spearmen did not dare to swagger to escort the tanks to their main base.
The only way for the Knife to advance was to use air defense and bunkers to escort the tanks to slowly push towards their main base step by step.
HonYung, on the other hand, felt confident enough to accumulate enough troops during this time to fight Knife's troops head-on.
As long as it breaks through the Knife's front, Knife, who can't replenish its troops during this time, will face a state of having an economy and no soldiers.
So HonYung watched as Knife slowly razed his sub-base to the ground.
HonYung thought that the balance of war had tilted in his favor, but the flame in the eyes of all Korean interstellar fans who watched the game had slowly been extinguished.
And when Knife's mecha giant revealed his hideous figure in front of HonYung, HonYung's heart suddenly slipped to the bottom.
***
Jiang Hatshui was dumbfounded.
Jiang Hatshui couldn't figure out how the soldier HonYung would be like this.
Wen Wan's eyes were already full of smiles.
"HonYung thought that by cutting off Knife's reinforcement, he would be able to win the game."
"But HonYung didn't expect that the Terrans would not necessarily need barracks to replenish powerful anti-air troops."
Wen Wan's tone was full of joy, as if it was not Knife but himself who had just defeated HonYung.
"Yes, I'm afraid this kid didn't make BA in the first place, and he was already ready to switch to this semi-mechanized tactic." Jiang Hatshui nodded: "It seems that I have to reestimate this kid's strength." ”
Upzealot nodded violently. After all, to defeat a master of HonYung's level, it is not something that can be done casually.
But even though Upzealot was nodding desperately, Upzealot still couldn't figure out why Knife had beaten HonYung like this.
And the vast majority of Germans did not expect such an outcome, so in an instant, they were all a little dizzy with great happiness.
***
Knife has caused a huge upset in front of interstellar fans all over the world. HonYung's defeat reminded all Korean viewers of the era when European players represented by Elky and others competed against Korean players.
And the shock of these Korean interstellar fans did not last long, and the duel between Lin Potian and Jinsir came to a critical juncture.
From the very beginning of this game, it turned into a different kind of competition. Because Lin Potian adopted a semi-mechanized style of play.
The so-called semi-mechanized style of play is to use spearmen instead of minelaying vehicles. And this style of play is also a style of play that ordinary Terran players dare not easily adopt.
Because from the birth of the game Interstellar, there have been countless Terran players studying this style of play. And in the beginning of TVP, this style of play once occupied the mainstream.
Because theoretically, a horde of stimulant-boosted spearmen is much more powerful than mine-laying cars, and it can also better prevent the Protoss fanatics from forcibly rushing into the tank formation. But in fact, this tactic is slowly being phased out by completely mechanized tactics.
In fact, the answer is very simple, because this semi-mechanized tactic has too high requirements for the operation of the Terrans.
In an era when every Protoss master can control his lightning soldiers well, it is almost impossible to constantly control his spearmen to dodge and move sideways, and to prevent the opposing fanatics from forcibly rushing into their tank formation.
The difficulty of such an operation, to a large extent, restricts the possibility of further development of this tactic. Because no Terran player can use this tactic to gain the upper hand against an opponent who has the same level of operation as himself.
In fact, many people believe that to use this tactic in TVP, unless the operation ability of the Terran players is a notch higher than that of the Protoss players.
Lin Potian's operation, of course, would not be a grade higher than that of the Protoss Master Jinsir. However, after Lin Potian formed a single heavy industry and two bases, he adopted the semi-mechanized style of play of the four barracks and three tank factories.
So when Lin Potian suddenly sacrificed such a tactic in the game, even Jiang Hatshui, who was famous for his control of spearmen, was not optimistic about Lin Potian's battle.
