Chapter 117: Zerg Spirit Species
The insect tide moved very fast, and it didn't take long for it to enter within ten kilometers of Nanhai City.
At the same time, in the headquarters of the Ninth Army Corps, orders for attacks began to be issued one after another.
"The Zerg will enter within ten kilometers of Nanhai City, send an order to the artillery unit, and immediately start attacking!"
When Qiu Ming's order was issued, it didn't take long for a dense rumbling sound to the south of Nanhai City, and the sound of the cannon was like thunder in the sky, deafening.
Dense cannonballs rose into the air in no particular order, bringing up white smoke rainbows in the air, like a group of white dragons across the sky, heading straight for the insect tide.
When the Ninth Legion began to attack, the Bug Tide reacted at the same time.
I saw that behind the insect tide, many pitch-black balls of light suddenly rose, the small diameter of this ball of light was half a meter, and the diameter of the large ball was about three meters, just like a small black sun, after rising into the sky, it was like a dark meteor that glowed, crashing into the cannonball in the air.
Thundered!
A deafening explosion rang out, followed by blinding fires erupting in the air.
The hundreds of shells fired by the Ninth Legion in the first round were intercepted by black balls of light, and more than ninety percent of them exploded in the air before they fell, without injuring a single Zerg.
However, there were still about forty shells that broke through the interception of the black ball of light and became fish that slipped through the net, exploding in the dense insect tide.
The power of this cannonball is still good, after it explodes in the insect tide, it instantly tears the nearby Zerg apart, and the Zerg in the distance are also lifted into the sky by the aftermath of the violent explosion......
The first round of artillery fire from the Ninth Legion killed hundreds of Zerg.
This amount is really a drop in the bucket for the huge insect tide, and the remaining insect tide army has no intention of retreating, and continues to flock to Nanhai City!
Inside the headquarters of the Ninth Army Corps.
The commander of the corps, Qiu Ming, and his staff officers took this scene into their eyes through the monitoring satellites, and when they saw that the results of the first round of artillery offensive were so unsatisfactory, their faces immediately became much more ugly.
"These goddamn spirit species."
A brigadier general scolded.
If there is a chance that all the insect species in the Zerg can disappear, then don't think about it, you will definitely choose the spirit species.
The reason why this is so is because the spirit species is too restrained by the humans' large-range ranged weapons.
Spiritual species, also known as Zerg brain.
The wisdom of this kind of Zerg is much higher than that of ordinary Zerg, and it is extremely cunning, if the mother queen of the Zerg is compared to a marshal of an army, and the king is compared to a general who is ten thousand enemies, then the spirit is equivalent to a sinister and cunning strategist.
They are scheming, and the Earth Defense Force has suffered a lot under their conspiracy!
Not only that, but they also have a radar-like ability to detect things far away and be able to jam human radar signals.
At the same time, they are also long-range mobile turrets among the Zerg, and are the only Zerg that have mastered ultra-long-range attack capabilities.
It is rumored that a ninth-order spirit species, its long-range attack, can accurately hit targets hundreds of thousands of kilometers away!
The reason why the shell fired just now was intercepted was that it was captured by the radar ability of the spirit species, and before it could fall to show its power, it was detonated by the spirit seed's long-range attack method in the air.
It is precisely because of this that the spirit seed is known as the nemesis of ranged weapons!
……
The first round of artillery fire just now was only a tentative attack by the Ninth Army.
Thinking about it, you also know that as an elite legion with millions of people, how could the Ninth Legion only fire a few hundred shells with a full round of artillery attacks?
The first round was just a temptation, and the second round was the real thing!
"Order the artillery units and shoot with all your might!"
As the order was given, a more intensive burst of artillery rang out.
In the air, thousands of cannonballs rose up at the same time, falling towards the sweeping insect tide.
At the same time, more black balls of light of different sizes flew out from behind the insect tide, accurately hitting the cannonballs that had not yet fallen, and successfully detonating them.
Thousands of shells, more than seventy or eighty percent of which were detonated, the shells exploded in the air, and the scene created was like a fireworks show on a huge scale!
In this second round of offensives, although seven or eight were intercepted, only two or three remained, but in these two or three, there were also about four or five hundred shells that fell into the insect tide.
This round of artillery fire is ten times more powerful than before!
In an instant, thousands of Zerg died under the fire!
However, this still can't stop the insect tide from advancing!
This is the Zerg, as long as the high-level Zerg gives an order, they will be like a dead soldier, executing to the end, even if they see the casualties of the same kind around them, they will not retreat!
That's because they're brainless......
In just a few moments, the troops at the forefront of the insect tide had already advanced one kilometer, and there was only nine kilometers left under the city wall of Nanhai City.
"Don't stop, blow up these brutes for me!"
In the headquarters of the artillery position, the officer in charge of the command shouted at the other end of the intercom.
On the other end of the intercom were the soldiers who were in charge of firing the artillery.
Hearing the order of their superiors, they immediately acted in an orderly manner, greatly speeding up the firing of their guns.
For a moment, a continuous sound of artillery sounded in the artillery position, and dense shells shot out of the artillery position, crossed a cold arc in the air, and fell into the insect tide.
At the same time, the artillery positions of the other three regiments near the other three city gates in Nanhai City also resounded with deafening artillery fire.
The gates they guarded were not attacked by the insect tide. Although they had their own responsibilities and could not directly support the Ninth Army Corps at the South City Gate, this did not prevent them from using artillery fire to support them indirectly.
With the artillery support of the other three legions, the pressure on the South City Gate was instantly reduced a lot, and the price paid by the insect tide increased several times for each step forward.
In just a few moments, more than 10,000 Zerg died under heavy artillery fire!
The artillery positions at the four city gates opened fire in unison, causing a lot of movement, and the fierce cannon sound easily passed through the military restricted area and entered the residential area.
Hearing this cannon sound, the people could guess that the Zerg was attacking the city after a little thought, and they suddenly became nervous.
If you don't be nervous, the victory or defeat of the war is related to their lives.
Therefore, this battle also led the hearts of the people of the city!
As time passed, when the insect tide advanced to a position only five kilometers away from the South City Gate, those spirit species were finally unwilling to be beaten all the time and began to fight back!
I saw a dense black spherical ball of light rising from behind the insect tide, some of which flew towards the cannonballs aimed at the insect tide below, and the rest of which shot straight towards the city!
