When it reaches a certain distance from the human battle line, the golden top of the pyramid begins to open like petals, and the hull moves gracefully above the pyramid. At the same time, the obelisk at the bottom emits energy, and the roar rises to a harsh, sharp-like tone. A shouting sound,
Along with the ominous green flashes, countless metallic alien shapes appeared. They were arranged in a square array, with a strange airship floating above, and a suspicious figure holding a halberd seemed to be standing on it. There are figures of commanders, as well as various war machines, large and small, with everything from spiders to scorpions everywhere.
What followed was a bitter battle, a bloody battle that Kessler could never imagine without having personally experienced it.
As the attacker, Captain Si of the Sixth Company of the White Templar Under the command of Pabad, the human troops took the lead in attacking, and more firepower was thrown at the obelisks and the alien phalanx that had been lined up, but the other side reacted faster, and saw needle-like streaks shooting out from the tops of the pyramids. Stinging and flashing light, the artillerymen far behind were immediately hit. The continuous explosions set off behind the human positions were mind-shaking.
But the really bad situation was only known to the artillerymen. Before they realized what was happening, the sweeping energy cut the basilisks and manticores in half. Its accuracy was staggering, but it was not over yet. Just when the self-propelled artillery exploded due to the ignited ammunition, and the artillerymen were struggling to clean up the mess, the enemy's attack was far from stopping——
The commanders of the Necrons are not stupid. Although they despise the technology of these flesh-and-blood creatures, they also know that the opponent's firepower is fierce enough and deserves corresponding strategies.
As the ground in the distance silently collapsed into pits, a large number of wingless poisonous insects flew out with a buzzing sound and quickly pounced on the already messed up artillery positions everywhere. The artillerymen waited until the enemy was close. Only then was he shocked to find that there was a group of weird multi-segmented mechanical insects above him, as big as an adult. These tomb stinging insects drove their invisible wings to attack, shredding armored vehicles with cutting beams, using blade-like limbs and charged needles. The stabbings sliced through the soldiers who were too busy to resist - the Necron commander obviously believed that such flying units were enough to deal with the human ground forces, while the deadlier Night Scythes were sent to destroy the enemy's air force.
And this is not the worst moment. The more terrifying enemy comes from the underground that the artillerymen have never thought of. Huge, fast arthropod-like structures emerge directly from their feet. , pushing this strangulation of long-range forces in the rear to its climax, the ghosts in the tomb who executed the killing orders moved forward at a dizzying speed, and could freely shuttle through solid bodies. Those self-propelled artillery and other weapons that tried to move in a hurry were directly destroyed by these. The killing machines were torn apart and thrown away, and the artillerymen had no better way to deal with the small weapons in their hands.
But fortunately, the command level has already prepared a plan for this. With the enemy weapon intelligence on hand, the Space Marine commanders have deduced the possibility that the enemy will use a mechanical body capable of phase movement to attack the artillery position. , so the strategy was deployed in advance - although this reaction mechanism was still slower than the enemy's execution speed.
The Archaeopteryx and Dragon Wing soldiers, who had been on standby in the hidden cargo container hangar, were dispatched collectively, flying close to the ground and swarming towards the structures attacking the artillery positions like dark clouds.
The basis for this strategy is the common weakness of all Necrons' phase-shifting structures. For example, each phase shift of the Tomb Ghosts requires a long recharging time and can only exist in a biphasic state for a limited time. These vanguard artillery were really cannon fodder to trap them. Although the Necrontyr units could be reorganized and resurrected, this place was far away from the front line, and their scarabs could not recover the debris and energy at all, so they were lost, that is, completely lost.
This is the countermeasure in the chess game, using part of the artillery unit to counteract the extremely threatening structures with phase movement capabilities of the Necron. It's a good deal for humans.
Therefore, this group of troops was also specially formed to hunt structures. The Dragon Wing Soldiers have all undergone modifications to the Sky Diver module - this modification has strengthened the Dragon Wing Soldiers' capabilities. Low-altitude dogfighting capabilities. Their main weapon is a flechette carbine. This weapon that fires a large number of ultra-high-speed micro flechettes is almost impossible to dodge. At the same time, their enhanced intelligent computing system allows them to accurately calculate the enemy's movement trajectory, which is very suitable for hunting. A high-speed, low-altitude small target, it is also equipped with an arc grenade, whose powerful electromagnetic field can paralyze the enemy's war machine.
While the Sky Divers were quickly clearing the Tomb Stinging Insects, the Archaeopteryx's ground bombardment model Explosive Gunman began to circle and attack those Tomb Ghosts and Tomb Divers that were unable to phase maneuver in a short period of time. It can carry powerful geomagnetic bombs, one of which is enough to paralyze the huge Tomb Ghost, and the firepower provided by four heavy explosive bombs can also cause effective damage to them.
In an instant, there was lightning and thunder, and fire was everywhere. The two sides were strangled together. The broken-winged Skitarii and structure fragments continued to fall, while the even larger tomb structure continued to flee, roll, and explode into countless pieces under the bombardment of Archaeopteryx. fragments.
Such battles took place in several directions in Scorch Oven City.
The Necron Lords finally realized that they needed more powerful air power, but when they tried to recall the Night Scythes, they discovered one thing - the Night Scythes were chasing and killing those "high-speed fighters" At that time, they plunged into a dense laser defense network, and those lasers were all emitted by heavy laser arrays, which directly caused the loss of two-thirds of the Dynasty's Night Scythe troops, and the rest had to face more than a hundred times their number. human fighter.
In this situation, it became unrealistic to recall Night Scythe, and they had to rely on existing ground forces to deal with human artillery.
The remaining human artillery also took the opportunity to withdraw from their positions, but their battle was not over. The first batch of artillery put into combat numbered 20,000, mainly basilisks and a small number of manticores, in space There were less than 3,000 guns left after the undead attack, but this expedition carried more than 100,000 artillery guns. The second batch of artillery units put into combat was the main force. They had nearly 60,000 guns. In addition to the basilisks, there were also A large number of Griffin heavy mortars, Medusa siege tanks, and the remaining artillery quickly joined the second batch of artillery to establish new positions.
At the same time, the enemy's infantry also began to move slowly and uniformly, and the Gauss weapons in their hands also emitted a cold and deadly light
