072 The Great War Begins

Mankind:

One cruiser, seven destroyers, twenty frigates, as well as eighty-seven sets of stationary defensive platforms.

The total number of mecha units is 5,280 (including the carrier-based mechs on the battleship and other mecha units brought over by the transport ship)

Starry Sky Zerg:

There is one 1,000-meter-level insect mound, five 800-meter-level insect mounds, eleven 700-meter-level insect mounds, twenty-five 600-meter-level insect mounds, and thirty-five 5-meter insect mounds of 500 meters and below.

There are about 1.58 million war insects and 5,000 tailed scorpions.

This is the current comparison of the combat power of the two sides.

Of course, it's not that Jiang Xingchen has dried up millions of war insects to 1.58 million in the past six months, but because the insect mounds have lost too much, even if the war insects that have lost their mother worms are re-collected, there are not enough insect mounds to carry them.

At present, these 1.58 million war insects are also the result of the rest of these insect mounds being stuffed.

As for the rest...

At the moment, they are all wandering in the nodes in front of them, and after the battle, these will be recovered by the mound.

It's just that the premise is that Chabir can kill the humans...

------

"Gravitational wave formation detected, number 77, azimuth 1-1-4, distance 118700."

"Battle Alert!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The next moment, with the flashing of red lights, the battle alarm was already sounding in the battleship.

"Xingchen, what do you think of this battle?"

As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Mu Zhengfeng was sitting on Jiang Xingchen's captain's chair at the moment.

"It's not a big problem to win this battle, the key is how much we will lose, according to my estimates, it may be about thirty percent of the battleships."

"Thirty percent..."

Mu Zhengfeng fell silent.

If it is thirty percent, it will be the loss of nearly ten warships, and at the same time, the damage of the mecha unit will probably exceed 1,000.

It was undoubtedly a heavy blow for the rebels.

If it had been a few months later, when the second Houyi-class cruiser and more destroyers had been commissioned, the battle would have been much easier.

It's a pity that there is never a if...

"It is reported that a large number of worm mounds have jumped to arrive, and at the same time as one of the kilometer-level mounds arrives, the radar is finally lost, and the visual observation and tracking are also lost!"

"Ignore it, give me the order, the whole fleet and all the defensive platforms, the attack begins!"

"Yes, Admiral!"

The distance of more than 100,000 kilometers is still far from being within the effective firing range.

However, although the railgun is backward, it also has the advantage, that is, there is no such thing as a range.

The next moment, the attack began, the battleship plus the defensive platform, a total of tens of thousands of railguns began to fire a salvo, and then in less than a few seconds, it was the second wave, then the third wave, the fourth wave...

After all, the railgun is not an energy weapon, and even if there is no range limit, at this distance, it will take more than 2 minutes to hit the target after launching.

Fortunately, the density is relatively high, and a wave can be fired every 3 seconds.

A steady stream of barrage-like attacks smashed into the mound, but barely did any damage.

Because...

At present, none of the mounds have released the war bugs.

After all, Chabir is not stupid, at such a distance, there is no point in releasing war bugs, it is just to be killed.

But that's okay, it's to be expected.

If you wait until the mounds release the war bugs before attacking, then a lot of time will be wasted, because the projectile flight of the railgun also takes a long time.

Besides, the railgun's projectile itself is very cheap, which is nothing compared to the timeliness of the attack.

Therefore, even if you know that the worm mound does not release war bugs, the railgun attack is almost useless, but in order to cause damage as soon as it releases war bugs, even if some ammunition is wasted now, it is necessary.

Time was ticking, and the attack on the fleet's side continued until eight minutes later...

Approaching more than 3,000 kilometers of the human defense line, Chabir finally showed his fangs, and the war insects flew out of the insect mound in batches, and soon formed a sea of insects, and the scale became larger and larger.

At this time, the attacks of the magnetic rail cannon projectiles were still coming, and the flesh and blood war insects were naturally unable to resist these projectiles, and they were blown up one after another.

In just one wave, thousands of war bugs were lost.

And this is not the end, the next wave of rail cannon projectiles every three seconds is still causing more casualties.

It's just that the loss of tens of thousands, or even tens or two hundred thousand, is not a concern for Chabir at all.

Importantly...

The sea of insects has been formed, and it is time for the tailed scorpion to appear.

With the war insect as the shield and the tail scorpion insect as the spear, this is the regular combat method of the beginner female worm.

In the galaxy, there are currently only elementary female worms, and even McHedi is also in this order.

This is also the reason why, although the Zerg are strictly ranked, Chabir can still secretly calculate McHedi.

Everyone is a beginner-level female worm, Mai Heidi is not able to form a hierarchical suppression, and now he can command other female worms, but only because it is the strongest, and other female worms have to be obedient.

But this kind of suppression is different from the rank suppression of the Zerg.

If McHedi had evolved into a first-order female worm, then it would have been impossible for Chabir to rise up to the idea of usurping the throne.

Because...

That kind of suppression from the rank is an existence that all Starry Sky Zerg cannot disobey and transcend the will.

------

Soon, the distance between the two sides was further reduced, and finally it was within range of long-range attacks.

"Order, all destroyer main guns do not attack the mound, and concentrate the fire on the area of those tailed scorpion worms!"

"Understood!"

Hearing this, the communications officer immediately conveyed Mu Zhengfeng's order through the fleet command chain.

The mounds themselves are not a threat, the tailed scorpions are the real threat.

Indeed, they are hiding behind the sea of insects, and the railgun can't attack at all, but the plasma cannon on the destroyer is different, after this cannon goes down, it can directly penetrate the sea of insects, as long as those tailed scorpions are in the attack path, they can't escape.

As for Hou Yi, it is even more ferocious.

Not only does it have the most powerful Positive Electron Star Shattering Cannon, but it even has a lot of weapons that are extremely lethal to the Star Sea Zerg.

For example, twenty-four particle beam cannons as secondary cannons.

For example, the positive electron smashing cannon as the main gun.

Another example is the hundreds of Storm missiles carried at the moment (the final production version of Deathstorm).

The next moment, the confrontation between the two sides began.

The human side has a very strong purpose, and has concentrated all its powerful weapons in those areas where there are swarms of tailed scorpions.

As for the insect mounds and war bugs, they were all directly ignored.

The Starry Sky Race aimed the first wave of attacks at those defensive platforms.

The powerful firepower directly staggered and smashed into the opponent's camp.

"Reported, 33 energy projectiles were directly hit, and the shield was reduced to 93%."

"Report, Fixed Defense Platforms Nos. 2, 7, 38, 55, and 80, destroyed!"

"Report, the frigate of the Destroyer has been set on fire by hundreds of tailed scorpions, and the shield is 27% left, and it is requested to retreat to restore the shield!"

"Report..."

was fired by thousands of tailed scorpions, and the losses on the side of the human defense line were also very large, and even one frigate was directly wiped out of more than half of its shield, asking for retreat and adjustment.

For such a request, Mu Zhengfeng will not refuse, otherwise he is afraid that the next wave of attacks on the Annihilation will be directly reimbursed.

Fortunately, the frequency of attacks of tailed scorpions is not high, which also gives the human defense line room to adjust.

"Agree to the retreat adjustment of the Extinction, let the Biyi temporarily fill the vacancy, and at the same time the mecha troops will attack, but let them pay attention, don't stray into the fleet's firepower network!"

"Yes, Admiral!"
