774.The Second Battle I
After receiving the news of the arrival of the main force of the coalition forces, Ista may not know whether the enemy has other goals, but since the main force of the enemy has arrived, it is definitely impossible not to meet the battle.
What's more, Ishtar got the news from the intelligence department and knew that the supreme commander of the main force of the coalition was actually the King of the Protoss!
This is one of the few guys in the coalition who makes the empire feel that it is a fierce rival. If he can be eliminated in one battle, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent battles.
However, just when Ishtar was about to lead the army to meet the enemy, Wang Xu of the staff department hurriedly came to the door. He said to Ishtar: "Your Majesty the Emperor, don't go into battle blindly, we don't know yet, what conspiracy the enemy has, rashly sending troops will be successful!" ”
Because the intelligence had just arrived, the people in the staff department had not yet thought of whether there was any plan on the part of the coalition forces. If it is said that the main force is coming head-on and looking for a duel between their own side, if they are expecting a quick victory, why not just come to the battle earlier?
What's more, the empire has clear intelligence, knowing that the various troops and horses of the coalition army have not gathered, and it is obviously not for the sake of launching a decisive battle. Therefore, it is very likely that the enemy has a plan!
Esta heard Wang Xu's dissuasion, coupled with his slight analysis, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable. But now that the main forces of the coalition are coming, do they want to flee without a fight? This is obviously unrealistic, and it has a great impact on the morale of the military.
So after thinking about it again and again, Ishtar said to Wang Xu: "You will immediately sort out the information of the coalition forces obtained at these times with the officers of the staff department for analysis, and if there is any latest report, you must report it to me in time." Regardless of whether there is any trap or not, in short, the main force of the enemy, if you choose to avoid its edge, or retreat without a fight. This is also an unimaginable blow to the morale of the army, and I think you should understand it too! ”
The army of the Tyranid Empire has always had a kind of arrogance. Of course, Wang Xu is clear about this, and it is true that if he faces the enemy, if he does not fight a battle, this is a serious blow to morale.
So nodding his head clearly, Wang Xu said, "Okay, I understand, Your Majesty the Emperor!" In this case, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it. If there is any latest information, I will report back to you as soon as possible! ”
Originally, it stands to reason that Wang Xu's dissuasion, if he can keep the main force of the Tylen Empire and wait for the main force of the coalition army, it seems that he will not be in the scheme.
Unfortunately, for various reasons, Ishtar still led his troops to meet the battle, and confronted the main force of the coalition army head-on. In the end, despite the tactical victory, it led to a strategic mistake.
-- Dividing line --
However, all this is empty talk, but it is precisely because of this that the second large-scale confrontation between the Tyranid Empire and the coalition forces broke out.
Because in advance, the Tyranid Empire carried out the fortified wall clearing and gathered the defenders of many planets, so the total number of warships this time has steadily exceeded 100,000.
The coalition side is also patchwork, and the arrival of the main force of King's expeditionary force is also a total of more than 100,000. The warships, which totaled more than 200,000 units on both sides, began to move towards the frontal battlefield.
The war zone came to the vicinity of a planet called "Selenium", so this battle in later generations is also called "Selenium War".
This time, the Tyranid Empire transferred a number of elites from the Tyranid Empire, such as the aforementioned "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" and other troops, as well as the "Ranger" legion, the "Lion" legion, the "Tiger King" legion that is also the "Tiger" level, and the "Heaven" level legion.
The "Lion" level and the "Tiger" level are the elite legions of the Tyranid Empire, the oldest. The first-level legion of the word "sky" was later promoted to become a top elite legion. Although in this battle, the most powerful "Iron Fist" and "God" and "Emperor" level armies of the Tyran Empire have not yet arrived, but such a lineup should not be underestimated.
On the other hand, on the side of the coalition army, it really looks like a ragtag army, of course, the main reason is that the army style of each civilization is not uniform. But looking around, there is a golden fleet in the center of the coalition army, and all the warships are golden, and through the information, I know that this is the main fleet of the Protoss.
King fought the flagship, looking at his own flagship, and there was a proud emotion in his heart: "The golden fleet of Megatron Universe in the past is finally a little bit now!" ”
The Golden Fleet, the invincible armada of the ancient Protos civilization, has few opponents across the universe, and ends the invincible army with the "War of Eternity". Although it was finally destroyed by the Zerg in its heyday, the trauma inflicted on the Zerg was so great that even the Juggernaut was almost killed. Esta felt the injuries of the Juggernaut at the time, and it was the Golden Fleet that was wounded in a desperate battle.
If it weren't for the existence of the Golden Fleet, so that the Juggernaut's injuries knew that his time was short, I am afraid that he would not have thought of burying himself in the hands of Istta, right? It can be said that this is a fleet that changed history!
Of course, for the pride from King, Lohana beside him poured cold water on him: "The fleet like you now is less than one-ten-thousandth of the heyday of the Protoss, and the golden fleet that covered the sky and the sun back then was like a river of gold flowing in the universe everywhere it went. ”
"Cut, it's useless." King pouted: "I know, the ancient golden fleet, the warships are hundreds of millions, and the tens of thousands of warships in my hands can't be compared, of course." ”
"But don't forget, this is my fleet, all built by my own hands. Such an achievement, not that you say the ancient Golden Fleet, can be compared! ”
At the time of the conversation between King and Lohana, the main fleets of both sides had completed their formation deployment one after another, and as they entered the range of the ship's guns, a fierce battle was inevitable.
"All ships, all gun crews, charged! - Launch! ”
Wan Jun's artillery fire ran through the battlefield, and it had been calculated in advance, and most of the calibrated artillery fire could hit the target perfectly, and the warships on both sides could only resist the damage of artillery fire.
The light of the shield appeared one after another, fending off attacks from the outside. At the same time, the guns of the battleships returning fire were lit, and the light streaked through the space in the middle of the battlefield and was projected at the enemy ships.
Ishtar sat on his own flagship, and it could be seen that the enemy was fighting in a decent manner this time, maintaining a stable formation and bombarding from a long distance. It doesn't seem to make a difference?
However, for the firepower shown by the warship on the side of the Protoss, Ishtar showed a trace of embarrassment: "What a strong battleship firepower!" ”
