Chapter Seventy-One: The Bag
However, the so-called miraculous effect was only relatively speaking, and soon when the patrols on the periphery were all cleaned up by the swarm fleet, the neatly arranged Zerg fleet with three-dimensional crossfire power was displayed in front of this large and chaotic fleet. At this time, less than ten minutes after Marshal Andrea gave the order, countless Zerg light cannons directly broke the order that had just been restored.
The pitch-black light cannon was surrounded by wisps of purple lightning, and the battleship that was hit was destroyed in an instant with almost no resistance from either the energy shield or the stance shield, and the black death ray cannon with the attributes of annihilating matter and energy became even more terrifying after being strengthened, and it could originally leave a large area of ruins, but now after being hit, it can only turn into a small piece of metal ruins, and the edge of the metal is like molten iron, and from time to time it will burst out with purple lightning.
Ship after ship turned to dust in front of the Black Death Light Cannon, and the fleet could no longer maintain the order it had just had just set and began to go into chaos. Some battleships desperately retreated to reach safety, while others turned their heads in spite of a single moment, wanting to return the attack with their main guns, hoping to suppress the enemy's firepower, after all, if the enemy was allowed to shell so unscrupulously, they would have to finish the game sooner or later.
It's a pity that the scattered main guns either can't break through the stance shield of the giant centipede battleship at all, or they are perfectly defended by the blocks of combined enchantment arranged by the enchantment insects that almost obscure the entire Zerg fleet.
Now that the Zerg's combined magic enchantment and the combined energy shield of the Tammy Empire have become more and more obvious on the battlefield, the weak stance shield of the giant centipede battleship can resist a blow from the main battleship of the Tammy Empire at most. However, the main battleship of the Tami Empire could not stop the main cannon of the Zerg at all, so this defense, which was originally considered the most clumsy defense by the Tami Empire, became the most effective defense.
Combined Energy Shields often require dozens of them to block a Black Death Ray Cannon, which means that blocking a Black Death Ray Cannon requires dozens of auxiliary ships to supply all of their energy to the Combined Energy Enchantment. Such inefficient means of defense had been abandoned by the Tammy Empire as early as the Tier 3 civilization period. But now it has become the only means for auxiliary warships to cover the main warships.
When the two sides fought a decisive battle, tens of thousands of warships formed a joint energy shield composed of a large number of ships could sometimes receive miraculous results, but now the fleet organization of the Tami Empire is extremely chaotic, and there is no way to organize an effective joint energy shield, often only a few warships are synchronized and the shield is opened. The combined energy shield arranged in this way is useless except for burning the energy shield generator after being hit by the Black Death Ray Cannon, but at this moment, the Tammy Empire battleship, which has been blinded by the Zerg, has long been unable to care about so much, even if it knows that it will not work, it will do it for the sake of survival.
Fortunately, some of the soldiers of the main fleet are still extremely strong, and in this sinister environment, formations have been organized in some areas, although at the beginning they were only a few dozen warships. But seeing that the formation was stabilized here, more warships began to consciously gather, and there was a great tendency to coherent the whole field.
"There is the Imperial Assault Fleet, one of the six ace fleets of the Empire, and they cannot be allowed to organize the chaotic fleet. Bishir, crush them. "The battlefield was naturally under the control of Yushine, the vanguard officer, and reacted immediately when he found that the chaotic enemy army had stabilized his position.
"Understood." After receiving the order, Yushne immediately controlled his fleet and began to change formation, and one by one the giant centipede battleships aimed their huge launchers at the edge of the line organized by the Imperial Assault Fleet.
This is also where Bihil is different from the brain worm. If it was an ordinary brain worm, it would inevitably attack the flagship of the imperial assault fleet regardless of the order. But where hundreds of warships have been gathered, the combined energy enchantment has been arranged on an extremely large scale, and the flagship is hiding in the rear, and the dozens of warships with stance shields in front of them are not something they can break in a short time.
Bihil saw this clearly, so he chose to attack the edge of the fleet's gradually spreading formation, where a large number of warships were trying to converge, one auxiliary warship after another would make the position more solid, and the addition of the main battleship would make it more aggressive and suppress the Zerg firepower.
The main guns of the Zerg battleship are basically capable of destroying one of the enemy's main battleships with a single shot, but even so, it is not for nothing that Kerrigan is afraid that the war will drag on for a long time.
The first is that the number of enemy auxiliary warships is large enough. Although the combined energy enchantment they organized could not completely block the main cannon of the Zerg, it could slow down the Zerg's attack, and on the other hand, it was impossible for the Tammy Empire to only be beaten and not resist. The fragile body of the giant centipede battleship must be panned at any time to dodge or seek out the surrounding enchantment insects to ensure its own safety, which will undoubtedly slow down the frequency of the ship's main guns.
Moreover, the number of Zerg fleets is extremely large, so it is impossible to guarantee that every battleship has a launch angle, and most of the battleships are blocked by the battleships in front of them.
It's not that Kai Ruigan and the others don't know that staggering the battleship can give full play to the greatest firepower advantage, but this formation can only be used when it achieves absolute superiority, because the scattered formation means that the enchantment worm has no way to cover everything, and it is extremely unreliable to rely purely on translation to avoid at a distance of only two light seconds between the two sides, and it will only be named by the opponent's main artillery one by one, thus gradually losing control of the battlefield.
The Imperial Assault Fleet is the same ace fleet as the Imperial Manticore Fleet, and the entire fleet has 1,000 capital warships and 2,000 auxiliary warships, which is much more powerful than the average fleet. Moreover, the six ace fleets of the empire are different from the other fleets in that the soldiers of these fleets are all veterans with extremely rich combat experience, they have either participated in the battle with the United Kingdom of Vikra or the battle with the Purcell Alliance, but no matter what, they are very different from other fleets that only bully third-level civilizations.
Such rich combat experience will also allow the fleet to remain calm in the surprise attack of the Zerg, although at the beginning the entire assault fleet was scattered by the chaotic behavior of other fleets, but soon a huge force was quickly gathered around the flagship of the assault fleet, and with the gathering of this force, it has even begun to pose a threat to the Zerg fleet.
No matter how strong a fleet is, it can't change the tide of battle, but if the assault fleet takes its own stable formation as the center and continuously gathers the chaotic warships around it, it is very likely to lead the entire Tammy Empire ship group out of the chaos, so in order to deal with this situation, Bihir took out almost all his strength, not only all the main guns were used to attack those warships that wanted to continue to converge, but also ordered the giant whale battleship to release a large number of flying snakes, evil eye insects, etc. to suppress firepower.
In the past, the enemies encountered by the Zerg would inevitably be frightened in the face of such a strong attack, so that without the replenishment of the warships that continued to gather, Bihir could calmly peel off the turtle shell of the Imperial Assault Fleet layer by layer, so as to achieve the purpose of defeating it.
It's a pity that Bihir still underestimated the determination of the Imperial soldiers to fight, the Zerg has broken into the hinterland of the Tammy Empire, and with the bad reputation of the Zerg, it is not difficult for these Tammy soldiers to guess what the outcome of the Empire will face once the Zerg defeat them. For the sake of their homeland and the honor of the soldiers, these soldiers, who had not yet lost their blood, began to converge on the assault fleet regardless of a single qiē, and soon things developed beyond Bishir's expectations.
Seeing that the battle situation had become like this, Yushne frowned and didn't say anything, Bihil's response can't be said to be wrong, and if you want to blame, you can only blame the enemy that the Zerg faced before was too faced. In the past, the enemies of the Zerg were basically crushed at the touch of a button, even if the Taylors were a little bloody but the technology was too different to withstand the attack of the Zerg, and it was a little unexpected to encounter such an army that was not too backward in technology and had the heart to fight to the death.
The battle began to proceed in an orderly manner, and if this trend continued, the original defeat battle would soon turn into a general battle. However, Yushne is not in a hurry, he is not the only one ship group involved in this battle, the other two ship groups have now circled the upper and lower directions of the E43 star, so that once the three-dimensional attack up and down is launched, it will be difficult for the Tammy Empire to deal with, but the Tammy Empire's fleet, which was attracted by Yushne's ship group, seems to be unaware at all.
"The battle damage has been calculated, our side has lost 2,900 capital ships, 5,000 auxiliary ships, 400 giant centipede warships, and several evil eye tyrants." Half an hour later, in the flagship of this huge fleet, the adjutant reported the battle damage in fear.
"Twenty to one? Very good, it seems that the empire has been stable for too long......" Andrea, who was full of silver hair, sat in the middle of the command room with his eyes half-open, and said with an angry face after hearing the adjutant's report.
"The main thing is that the first round of artillery bombardment of the enemy army has caused us to lose at least 1,000 warships, and then we have not been able to organize an effective counterattack to suppress the enemy's firepower before leading them to attack unscrupulously, but now the formation is gradually stabilizing, and our battle losses are plummeting." The adjutant explained.
"Report to the marshal, the reconnaissance ships around the battlefield have found traces of enemy troops in the direction of our E71A63, and through strong scanning, it has been found that the enemy has used optical stealth and strong shielding systems......" At this time, a correspondent hurriedly reported.
"How far is it from us?"
"350,000 km ......"
"What? Why did you find out so close? What the hell do you eat? Andrea staggered to her feet.
"The enemy has shielded the battlefield, and most of our peripheral patrol ships have been destroyed by them, and if it weren't for the few remaining who escaped pursuit, I'm afraid there would be no way to find these hidden enemy ......" (to be continued......
