The strategy on the fleet's side is to form a barrage with a large number of railguns, coupled with the assistance of mecha troops, to delay the advance of the sea of insects as much as possible.

At the same time, use energy weapons to focus on attacking tailed scorpions hiding behind the sea of insects.

The Starry Sky Zerg maintains the same old tactics, which is the so-called shield in front and spear in the back.

The sea of worms composed of war insects is used as a shield, and the tailed scorpion insects hidden behind it are used as spears.

Commanded by the mother worm through spirit sharing, whenever the tailed scorpion can release the energy bomb again, the war insect on the ray will be avoided under the command, and when the tail scorpion attack is completed, the war insect will quickly fill the gap.

Therefore, the outcome of the war depends on two points.

One is whether the human fleet will be able to wipe out most of the tailed scorpions before they lose too much.

Another point is how effective the combination of railgun barrage and mecha tactics can play in large-scale use.

------

"Captain, the Yang Electron Cannon Star Shattering Cannon has been charged!"

"Unfold the electron cannon and shoot at 30% power, and currently, the tailed scorpion swarm gathered in the G5 area!"

"Yes, Captain!"

It's been five minutes since the battle began, and I have to say that Chabir is very clever and has even created a big problem for the human side.

He completely dispersed the 5,000 tailed scorpions, so that the human side could not kill a swarm with one shot as before, but only one at a time.

As a result, after ten minutes, the number of tailed scorpions killed did not even reach 1,000.

At this moment, Mu Zhengfeng also realized why the fleet command thought that the loss could be controlled below 15% after the simulated battle, but Jiang Xingchen said that it might reach 30%.

To put it simply...

The staff officers in the fleet command still regard the Starry Sky Zerg as a beast, rather than a highly intelligent species, so there are all kinds of miscalculations.

"Admiral, I have an idea!"

Just when Mu Zhengfeng sighed, Jiang Xingchen suddenly spoke.

"You say."

"If this continues, we will lose a lot, so I suggest that the thief be captured first!"

"How can a thief capture the king first?"

Hearing this, Mu Zhengfeng was a little puzzled.

If it was a single mound, or a small number of mounds, he could still understand it.

After all, as long as the insect mound is killed, the war insect that loses the command of the mother worm is like a lamb to the slaughter, and basically the war is over.

But now there are more than 70 mounds, and even if you kill a few, the war insects that originally belonged to this mounds will quickly be taken over by the female worms in the other mounds.

In other words, unless all the mounds are killed, there is no way to talk about the so-called capture of the thief and the king first, right?

"Hou Yi will chisel through the sea of insects, and then raid the five 800-meter-level worm mounds located at the back of the starry sky Zerg array, as well as the invisible, thousand-meter-level worm mounds."

"What do you mean..."

"Admiral, I don't think those mounds below 800 meters have the ability to take over tailed scorpions!"

"Is there a basis?"

"No, but it's worth a try!"

Hearing Jiang Xingchen say this, Mu Zhengfeng almost lost his breath.

At such a critical time, you come up with a plan that has no basis as a premise?

"Admiral, even if this guess is wrong, it doesn't matter!"

"Once Hou Yi chisels through the Sea of Worms and goes to the rear of the Zerg array, then there will only be two results."

"One, my guess is correct, after we solve the five 800-meter-level and another 1000-meter-level worm mound, the tailed scorpion worm completely loses its combat power."

"Second, after solving the nest, the tailed scorpions have not lost their combat power, then we will continue to work and solve these tailed scorpions by ourselves!"

"Even if it is the second result in the end, it will force the Starry Sky Zerg to have to return to the defense in large numbers, thus reducing the pressure on the frontal defense line."

"At the same time, we at the other end are not afraid of the swarm to defend themselves, and we can hang them at a distance!"

"If they want to chase, we will retreat, and if they want to retreat, we will catch up and fight!"

Jiang Xingchen quickly said the plan in his heart briefly, although it was very brief, but a person of Mu Zhengfeng's level immediately understood the core idea.

Where is this to capture the thief and capture the king first, it is also mixed with Wei Wei to save Zhao and the classic sixteen-character mantra in it.

In short...

In the best case, the victory can be directly determined.

And even if it's not the best outcome, it can also help to reduce the pressure on the defence.

However, there are two major problems here.

One is, how will Hou Yi chisel through the sea of insects formed by millions of war insects?

The other is, five 800-meter-level insect mounds are easy to say, but how to find out the invisible insect mounds?

If these two problems are not solved, then everything is empty talk.

"Admiral, we can do this..."

------

Three minutes later.

At this moment, two warships on the defense line have been heavily damaged, and the damage of the mecha unit has exceeded 300 units, and the situation is not optimistic.

If this continues, the final loss may even exceed what Jiang Xingchen said.

But...

"Captain, the shuttle boat that Admiral Mu Zhengfeng is on has arrived safely on the Wuluo."

"Captain, all the mechs involved in the operation are all in place."

"Captain, the charge of the Positive Electron Star Shatter Cannon is complete."

"Captain..."

In the bridge, the sound of reports sounded one after another.

At this moment, Jiang Xingchen had already sat back in his captain's chair.

And Mu Zhengfeng was transferred to the Wuluo through the shuttle ship.

After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, and it is impossible for him to follow Hou Yi to participate in the operation.

"Notify all the mechs involved in the operation, check the fixation of their respective fuselages again, if they are thrown down for a while, they will be directly in the sea of insects, and there is no way to rescue them."

"Understood!"

"Chen Xiaoguang, the sub-light engine starts, the maximum combat speed!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Wang Feng, the Yang Electronic Shattering Star Cannon is deployed, and the full power mode is on standby!"

"Yes, Captain!"

......

The next moment, Hou Yi moved, left the defense line towards the front, and kept accelerating.

If you look at the Houyi from the outside at this moment, you will find that except for the gun emplacements in various places, the rest of the place is already densely packed with mechas, as if another layer of armor composed of mecha has been added to the armor.

Although it looks funny, when you see that each of its mechs has a beam rifle in their hands, it will not be funny, but terrifying.

Jiang Xingchen directly hit more than 800 close-defense guns on the Houyi.

Moreover, in addition to the more than 800 mechs that were temporarily summoned, there are also four squadrons of carrier-based mechs in the ship.

In other words, for this operation, almost a thousand mechs were mobilized, which is equivalent to 20% of the current remaining mecha troops.

"500 miles away from the sea of worms..."

“300...”

“100...”

"Wang Feng, fire!"

"Yes, Captain, Positive Electron Star Shattering Cannon, Full Power Mode, Fire!"

The terrifying beam was released in an instant, and in just the blink of an eye, a hole was blasted out of the sea of worms, and the front of the battleship became extremely clean.

"Chen Xiaoguang, rush in!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Wang Feng, use all your weapons to stop the war insects from approaching, and at the same time let the mecha group fixed on the shell armor cooperate to block the enemy!"

"Understood!"

Thousands of beams of light were shot out from Hou Yi's body towards all the surrounding defense lines.

The war insects that were surrounding them seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and they were suddenly beaten.

At this moment, Hou Yi is like a hedgehog, difficult to approach.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Hou Yi aimed at the gap that had just been blasted out, and rushed directly into the sea of worms.

The next moment, as the surrounding war insects frantically surrounded, the gap was quickly re-plugged...

Hou Yi disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
