Chapter Seventy-Five: Space Thatch Scissors
"I'm sorry, Mr. Arbiter, but the Lightning Chain weapon is a disposable, as the Lightning Chain weapon is very attritional. In addition, the material requirements for the battleship itself are very high, and only the flagship of our fleet is equipped with this weapon. After some corrections, Michael's body finally returned to normal.
The skua looked at the sea shark who was grayly arranging his hair, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why do you suddenly want to help him?" ”
"It's nothing, but I don't think it's fair for him to leave a powerful killer weapon for my crew, and since he chose to take the lead, he can use all the things he needs to use. And to be honest, I already have a lot of talent under my team, and although the demand for fresh blood is also strong, for now, he needs a starting team more than me. The sea shark grinned, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain he had just hit. Of course, if you insist on joining my alliance, I would welcome it. ”
"Besides, if the Arbiter can hit the Soul Eater, it doesn't hurt to join his alliance. If he fails with your help, then I'd rather continue to wander. The skua looked out the window, and there was a hint of loss in the depths of that gaze.
"What's wrong? Lost to someone else? ”
"Yes, the other side also has a large group to protect, when that battleship appeared above my base space station, I could only flee with my subordinates, but unfortunately, after these two days of fighting, my subordinates were lost." The skua sighed heavily and shook its head helplessly.
"You can choose to ally with me, and then my fleet will help you regain lost ground."
"Forget it, the arbiter will be quite angry when I form an alliance with you, isn't this equivalent to you falling in love and stepping on two boats. I'm here today with the intention of killing all my remaining warships and getting out of this game from now on. But your presence gives me a little hope. Instead of owing you a favor in the future, it is better to do a favor now. ”
"Oh? What's busy? The sea shark asked curiously.
"Take down the Soul Eater!" The skua dug into his pocket and pulled out a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Michael, report on the fleet." When the sea shark and the skua were chatting, Yang Jingzhong's brows never let go.
"The destroyers and the following battleships were lost, and there were only about thirty vulture fighters left. Cruiser class losses were almost a third. ”
"!" Yang Jingzhong slammed his hammer on the star map. "Can you still condense the Fleet Shield?"
"It's difficult, and it's not necessary, with the current number of warships, it's impossible to maintain a strong enough shield."
"It's very uncomfortable," Yang Jingzhong propped his hands on the table, his eyes staring at the star map, did he really want to admit defeat and let the sea shark come? But in the current situation, even if he comes, he may not be able to agree.
The remaining nearly one hundred and fifty Eritans followed, and while the fleet was restored, the encirclement was re-formed. And the fleet has not formed a fleet shield now, the communication system is always in a state of interference, if the scorpion swarm rushes into the middle of the fleet, the fleet will be seriously disturbed even the most basic light communication, and the fleet without communication will be annihilated by the bugs one by one.
"Arbiter, let me do it." When Yang Jingzhong was at a loss, the shouts behind him made him feel excited.
"Haha, I'll just say, you are the supreme commander of the destroyer fleet, I'm afraid you are the only one in the entire fleet!"
"Well, now shouldn't be the time to dwell on this kind of thing." Skua pushed Yang Jingzhong, who opened his hands and was about to give a warm hug, "Is there still a destroyer in the fleet?" ”
"No, only cruisers and battleships are left, so it shouldn't be very good." Yang Jingzhong sighed, his tactics still need to be improved.
"It's all right, the same will be true for the cruisers," Skua counted the remaining cruisers, "there are only twenty-two left, so give it all to me." ”
"All for you? But even if you give these more than 20 of them, it's useless in front of so many bugs. Yang Jingzhong almost thought he had misheard.
"As long as you can share some firepower, as long as you can attract the attention of the bugs and encourage them to disperse their forces, you can tear a hole and rush out. It's already very close to the Soul Eater, and if you can break out, you should be able to reach the top of the Spirit Eater's atmosphere. "As soon as the skua bit its teeth hard, the lollipop immediately shattered." Without further ado, you immediately hand over all cruiser command to me. ”
"Alright, Michael, now start handing over all the cruisers to the Skuas!" Yang Jingzhong looked firmly at the little blue man on the astrolabe.
Michael hesitated for a moment, this transfer of command seemed to be only available to the sea shark, he looked at the sea shark without a trace, and saw the sea shark nodding silently before handing over the command to the skuak.
"What's the plan?" Yang Jingzhong cleaned up all the miscellaneous things on the star map, leaving only a separate fleet.
"Ever heard of Thatch Shear?" Skua separated the battleship from the cruiser and restored all the frontal bug troops to the star map.
"Thatch scissors? The tactics of the U.S. military against the egg war in World War II? Yang Jingzhong asked tentatively.
"That's right, now we think of bugs as nimble but forbidden to fight in Zero," Skuas carried out the battlefleet alone, followed by the bug's scorpions, stun bugs, and Eritan's tentacles, "battleships are not fast, but they are worth destroying a lot, so if you break out of the encirclement, your battlefleet will be the first target of the bugs, and they will bite you tightly." This is where you need to overload your engines as much as possible to get a little distance from the bugs chasing you. In this way, your battlefleet becomes 'bait', and my cruiser becomes 'hooks'. ”
"I see, as long as the 'bait' and 'hook' turn in the direction of the other party, and the path crosses, your cruiser fleet can take advantage of the opportunity to beat the bugs that follow us. And then the cycle continues. As long as we have traveled far enough on the forked route, we can do the crossover again. Once this is successful, we'll give you enough shooting windows to deal a fatal blow to the Zerg! Yang Jingzhong suddenly realized, damn, doing Thatchi cutting tactics in space, it feels exciting to think about it!
"Very well, now that you understand, let's get moving!" Without further ado, the skua turned to the landing ship and drove to a cruiser.
"Each ship's beam cannon is filled to 100 percent, and as long as the bug's formation moves, fire at the weakest point immediately." Yang Jingzhong left the star map, walked to the porthole, and looked at the assembled cruiser, "It's all up to you." ”
The engines of the cruiser began to work, and from a distance it looked like dozens of shining stars suddenly appeared in the sky.
Compared with the destroyer fleet, the cruiser's maneuverability and flexibility have dropped significantly by a notch, but the cruiser is fortunate that when facing Eritan, the 100 billion megawatt beam cannon can still cause considerable damage, unlike the destroyer's helplessness.
The steering engines under the cruiser's bow also operated at the same time, propelling the cruiser towards the fleet directly above the fleet. This is not only because there are fewer Zerg troops directly above the fleet than those directly in front, but also because attacking the Zerg troops directly above is likely to make the Zerg mobilize the troops in front of the fleet to support. And if it is replaced by attacking the Zerg in the rear of the fleet, even if the rear Zerg strength is the least compared to the other directions, even if the rear collapses, it is likely that only the Zerg troops in the four directions of the fleet, the upper and lower sides, the left and right sides will go to reinforce, but the frontal enemy will never move.
"Michael, the previous order is put in second place for the time being, and fire first at the enemy above us." Yang Jingzhong thought about it again and again, it is better to support the cruiser fleet with firepower first, the most important thing at present is to let the cruiser successfully attract the attention of the insects, and only by helping them destroy a part of Eritan first, can they maximize their effectiveness.
Dozens of beams of light passed through the middle of the cruiser and directly hit Eritan in front of the cruiser, killing more than a dozen Eritan in one fell swoop, and the main force of the Zerg above lost more than half.
Seeing the cruiser rushing up, the Zerg troops immediately began to shrink and prepared to hedge with the cruiser, and at the same time, the Zerg troops in the other five directions also began to approach the battlefleet in the middle, constantly squeezing the fleet's living space.
"Vulture fighters, prepare to meet the enemy." Yang Jingzhong opened the control panel and pointed out the defensive direction for the fighter group. At the moment, the enemy on the front and on all flanks is not a big problem, the key is the rear, in case the bugs break the propulsion engine, then the battleship can only be beaten passively.
The cruiser continued to charge at the enemy in front of it, and when the two sides were about to collide head-on, the cruiser repeated its old trick, instantly changing the direction of the bow and blasting the rushing swarm with the beam cannons on the side. At the same time, target the bow of the ship to the Zerg unit in the stern of the battlefleet to help the battleship reduce the pressure on the weakest zone.
Yang Jingzhong also saw the opportunity, and at the moment when the cruiser completed the change of direction, the battleship also turned 90 degrees to the left on the spot, and used the starboard side to bombard the former frontal and flank enemies. In this round of fire attacks, counting the damage of the cruisers, the enemies in the rear of the fleet were not all dead, except for Eritan, and the scorpion swarm and the detonators were completely lost. Of course, the fleet also paid the price of all the vulture fighters.
Seeing that the encirclement was torn open again, the bugs hurriedly pulled out troops from all sides to sew up the gap, at this time, the cruiser killed a horse pistol again, and the enemy above the battlefleet was caught off guard, and the troops who went to sew the gap were lost under the fire support of the battleships and the attack of the cruisers, and in order to protect the encirclement above, the zerg could only pull out a part of the troops from the front to support.
However, the enemy in front of the fleet had been partially wiped out by the battleships with beam cannons, and at this time, if we went to the top of the reinforcements, this place became the weakest in several directions, and the battleships only needed to turn the bow of the ship for more than ten seconds to easily break through the frontal defense line.
The tide of battle is now turned!
