Chapter Seventy-Six: Landing on the Soul Eater

"Michael, build the fleet shield, we're ready to rush!"

"Yes!"

Yang Jingzhong's eyes were staring at the front, and the holes in Eritan's body were staring at him like eyes, and both sides understood that whether the battlefleet could break out of the encirclement was crucial to the battle situation.

The fleet shield constructed by the five Sun-class battleships was arguably the most impregnable, and Yang Jingzhong still used the cone formation, and his flagship would be the sharpest tip of the spearhead, piercing deep into the bugs' weak spots.

At this time, the bugs from other directions also reacted and rushed towards the battlefleet like crazy, trying to delay the advance of the battleship.

Yang Jingzhong didn't give them a chance, and the propulsion engine power of the five Sun-class battleships reached their maximum power in an instant, and at the same time, the trillion-megawatt beam cannon cooled down and launched a third round of fire attacks.

Eritan, who had been hit, flew uncontrollably into the unknown area, and the detonator slammed into the fleet shield frantically, and the huge impact and explosion power were exchanged for only two slight tremors of the shield.

And with the restoration of the fleet shield, the battleship's communication has also returned to normal, and the cooperation between the ships has returned to its peak, even if a battleship can only use four guns against the enemy in front, the bugs cannot stop the battleship like sharp arrows.

The moment the encirclement was torn open, the light red surface of the Soul Eater appeared in front of everyone, and it was about the size of a human looking at the Moon from Earth.

"The bow of the ship was deflected forty-five degrees to the right, overloaded with propulsion engines." Yang Jingzhong lost his mind for a short second, and then came to his senses again, he couldn't be careless at this time, he was accidentally surrounded by insects again, and it would be much more difficult to escape at that time.

The battleship curved to the right under Michael's control, followed by a large number of scorpions and detonators.

The cruiser also seized the gap made by the battleships, rushed out of the encirclement, and took up a firing position in the right rear of the battlefleet.

The ship's microbrain determined its position and fired a barrage against the battleship's tail. The scorpions and detonators were unable to dodge and crashed headlong into the cruiser's gunfire.

Seeing the heavy losses of the first wave of scorpions, Eritan's tentacles had no intention of retreating, and followed closely behind the battleship's ass.

Michael calculated that he had reached the farthest distance on the right, so he turned the right side of the engine on full force, causing the ship to make a U-shape in the air.

The cruiser followed closely, and another round of rapid fire broke all the tentacles.

The bugs also found the cruisers to be quite annoying, and it seemed that the cruisers were better to destroy than the battleships with strong firepower and strong defenses.

The main force of the bugs immediately shifted their target and began to stare at the cruiser attack.

"I'll be the bait, you'll be the hook." The flagship of the cruiser fleet sent a light signal, and Michael interpreted it as soon as possible to inform Yang Jingzhong.

"Understood, the propulsion engines of each ship are back to normal, and the right engine is operating at full capacity."

As soon as the battlefleet finished turning, it saw the cruiser passing straight ahead. It turned out that in order to prevent the bugs from touching them as much as possible, the cruiser could only temporarily make a straight line movement, but this did not prevent the battleship from carrying out firepower.

The second wave of bugs came to an end.

The two sides engaged in an hour-long chase battle, a Blazing Sun-class battleship and seven Haoyue-class cruisers were destroyed by bugs, and the physical exertion of the crew also reached the limit, like Yang Jingzhong just to keep himself balanced and tied himself firmly to the captain's chair, but the huge overload of the battleship made him feel a lot worse, and at this moment he fell directly into a slight coma. The crew was the same, and even many of the crew members fell directly to the ground at this time, vomiting uncontrollably.

The fleet's efforts finally paid off at 9:20 p.m. Federal Time, and the fleet, which was less than half of its strength before the battle, finally reached the low Earth orbit of the Soul Eater.

"Marines, aboard the landing ship, we're ready to fight the bugs on land." The Sea Shark was probably the most sober of all the people on the flagship, and as soon as the fleet reached low Earth orbit, he told the soldiers to prepare the airdrop through the radio, and at the same time told the Ska to carry out the same order with a lantern.

"Hurry up and get me down, we're ready to go!" Seeing that the soldiers had been assembled one after another and had begun to be airdropped, the sea shark grabbed Yang Jingzhong, who was still pinching people, put on his individual armor, and dragged him to the landing ship. ”

The marauders were just about to follow them to the landing ship, but when they heard this, they were directly stupid: "Huh? Why leave it to me? Don't you yourself have a staff team? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get me to the command!" The sea shark is in a hurry, landing at this time is the weakest time for the fleet's shield, as long as the Zerg seize the opportunity to make a surprise attack, the fleet will collapse in an instant. He didn't have time to explain to the marauders, so he kicked him off the landing ship directly, "Use your defensive talent to give us an hour, otherwise we will die below!" ”

"No, you just have this little fleet left, let me take it on my head for an hour?" The Marauder hurriedly got up and tried to get back to the landing ship, but the landing ship's hatch was closed, the telescopic bridge had left the landing ship, and the sea shark smiled and waved at him through the porthole.

"Damn, whatever you see, give me back to my post!" The marauders watched the landing ship leave the tarmac, grabbed their hair twice in anger, turned to the staff officers beside them, and roared angrily, so frightened that the staff officers rushed back to the headquarters.

After the landing ship was ejected into space, Yang Jingzhong sobered up a little, and looked at the landing ships of different sizes around him outside the window, and he didn't react for a while: "Hey, where are we?" Is the fleet completely annihilated? ”

"Fifty thousand meters above the Soul Eater, preparing to enter the atmosphere of the Spirit Eater." The sea shark took out a mint-like thing from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and handed another one to Yang Jingzhong, "Our landing ship is big, it will be separated soon, and we will meet on the ground when the time comes." ”

"Wait, why go to the ground, isn't it good to stay in space?"

"The last time I came here, the location of the female worm was on the ground, and we had no way of knowing the exact location from space, so we had to rely on airdrop Marines to kill the female. As long as we kill the mother worm, the Zerg forces near the Soul Eater will naturally retreat. As the roar of the landing ship's engine became louder and louder, the sound of the sea shark speaking gradually became louder, and because the landing ship trembled severely, he and Yang Jingzhong were not in the same place, so they could only communicate with the most primitive roar.

"How many females are there? It won't be everywhere, will it? Yang Jingzhong roared back in the same voice.

"Just one, and it's right at our feet, don't run around on the ground, wait for me to meet you!" As soon as the sea shark finished speaking, a partition separated the two.

Yang Jingzhong looked out the window and saw that the part of the sea shark was riding alone became a small landing ship, and it was driving side by side with the landing ship he was riding at a distance. Looking a little further away, there were roughly two types of landing ships, but both were much larger than the ones he was riding, and were supposed to be used to transport heavy or light weapons.

Suddenly, just as he was guessing what kind of land weapons he would see, the landing ship boomed as if it had hit a large rock.

"Sit down, everyone, the rest of the journey will be bumpy." The pilot yelled at the passengers in the cabin. In fact, only Yang Jingzhong was a real person in the entire landing ship, and the other marines were all NPCs, so what the pilot said was actually said to Yang Jingzhong alone.

Yang Jingzhong tightened the seat belt on his body, if he lost control at this time, it would not be as simple as smashing his head and breaking the blood flow. But his eyes still did not take off the porthole, and only through the porthole could he see what was going on outside.

As soon as the pilot's words fell, a huge figure passed by the window.

Sharp-toothed locusts! Yang Jingzhong's heart suddenly rose to his throat. As the largest in-atmosphere air force in the swarm, the Sharptooth Locusts can easily tear through the weak armor of the landing ship, and the landing ship can only deal with them with the small laser cannons on both sides.

Many landing ships in the surrounding area have already begun to be torn in half by flying locusts and planted uncontrollably in the billowing smoke. At such times in the past, the fleet would provide air force and fire cover for the landing force, but at this time the fleet itself could not be protected, and where would it get the excess firepower to cover the landing force? Everything can only be relied on by the landing force itself to rush down.

This near-suicidal method of warfare is bound to lead to a large number of casualties. Under the attack of the Sharptooth Locusts, the landing force suffered heavy losses. Yang Jingzhong's spaceship was not spared. A flying locust's blade-like forelimbs pierced the landing ship's outer armor, killing a soldier instantly. It then opened a sizable opening, with its big round head trying to get into the landing ship. Fortunately, the soldiers reacted quickly, and immediately picked up the PT-40 laser rifle and fired a hot and dense rain of bullets. Unlike the C-40 armor-piercing rifle, the laser rifle is much more powerful, and in one moment, the locust's head was punched with dozens of blood holes, and the green blood was evaporated into gas by the high temperature before it even had time to splash out.

But the fatal wounds on the ship itself were irreparable, and the crew had to rely on oxygen masks to breathe, and the landing ship billowed smoke and spun down in freefall. A knife-like wind blew into the ship's hull, instantly sweeping two soldiers with security belts overboard. All the remaining soldiers could do was pray, hoping that there would be a pool of water or sand beneath their feet.

Yang Jingzhong's consciousness gradually blurred, he only knew that he was holding the rifle tightly in his hand, and he didn't want to know what was going on behind it.
