Chapter 254: Attack failed, temporary retreat
Of course, at this moment, the commander of Taylor Civilization also immediately realized that something serious was going on.
Because through this incident, it is not difficult to see that many of the intelligence they previously obtained about the Zerg was wrong.
The most critical one is the way the Zerg fight.
Because of their large numbers, they adopt direct and reckless tactics in most battles, and basically do not use so-called tactics.
And because of the cognition of both civilizations, the Zerg actually don't do much research on some of their non-combat equipment.
To put it simply, they don’t pay too much attention to things that they can’t directly cause damage. Therefore, usually, such facilities are usually destroyed after the war. Most of the time, they will not be destroyed first during the war. situation.
Under normal circumstances, things like turrets and battleships are most easily destroyed in the early stages of a war. These weapons that are highly damaging to the Zerg have become their priority targets for destruction.
But the current situation is that these so-called facilities that are not of high concern are destroyed by bugs immediately.
And the most important thing is that before they even finished cleaning the fort, they prioritized finding these equipment and cleaning them up for him.
Not only the jump monopoly position generator, but also the communication facilities there were reorganized and unplugged.
Now he conducts combat commands through the backup communication facilities there and the tens of thousands of miniature observation robots on the battlefield.
Obviously, the weird tricks of this group of bugs also forced the commanders of Taylor Civilization to think about whether the intelligence they had obtained before was true or false.
Although they have not fought against the Zerg, during the period when the Zerg was most active, they captured the last words sent by many civilizations that were wiped out by the Zerg before they died, and part of these last words explained the situation of the Zerg.
If there are one or two suicide notes that describe the situation without any reference, then what about the dozen or twenty documents they intercepted that contain information about the Zerg situation?
The information sent by more than a dozen or twenty destroyed civilizations in the final stage was surprisingly consistent in their descriptions and attack methods of the Zerg. Therefore, the Taylor civilization had no doubts about the information they obtained about the Zerg.
But now, as the battle begins, the entire incident is completely different.
These Zerg did not give priority to the turrets as stated in the data.
Instead, they focused on these facilities that they had never targeted before, and most importantly, many Hydralisks had already begun to clean up the surrounding robots.
If this is the case, the commander of Taylor Civilization will not be too worried.
The most likely thing they would do is change their combat strategy against the Zerg in subsequent battles, but what worried him more now was the army of this group of bugs.
Through the information sent by the empire and those civilizations, the Taylor civilization also had a preliminary understanding of most of the bugs in the swarm.
But now the commander discovered a terrifying thing, that is, among this group of attacking bugs, apart from some relatively familiar faces, there were also some completely unfamiliar faces.
Especially the combat power of these unfamiliar faces is many levels higher than those of familiar faces.
Take banelings as an example. They pay a lot of attention to this kind of bug, because when these bugs gather in a certain number, they can cause great damage to their warships.
Especially ships like their flagship are in danger of falling if they are targeted by a large number of banelings.
Therefore, he remembered the information about baneling insects very clearly. He clearly remembered that this kind of insect was a kind of insect with very powerful explosive power.
But the group of bugs he saw on the battlefield now had nothing to do with the intelligence he had collected.
Although the appearance of these banelings is not much different from their information, the form they show after the explosion is completely different.
Because when these bugs explode, a large electromagnetic interference area will be formed. In this area, even their warships will be greatly affected, and their observation robots will be completely scrapped inside.
What is most terrifying to him is that once the number of these insects becomes huge, they can turn their entire area into a interference area.
If they really cover this area, then no information here can be transmitted.
In addition to the differences between these bugs, he also found that the tactics of this group of bugs were also different, especially when they first started attacking, this group of bugs was also particular about the area they attacked.
Because they have deployed many defensive strongholds in this galaxy, and all transition interference generators in these defensive strongholds alternate with each other.
In other words, if you destroy certain areas, the jump monopoly generators in other areas can also cover them.
And the ten areas attacked by this wave of bugs happened to be the weakest places in their arrangement.
As long as the jump monopoly generators in these areas are destroyed, there will be a small area in the center that cannot be covered when other areas are covered.
This is a huge problem. From this, it is not difficult to see that these bugs definitely did a very detailed investigation before the war. They have figured out the situation here through means they do not know.
Otherwise, they would never be able to deploy such a tactic, which is very different from the bugs they know.
But judging from the current situation, if it weren't for the appearance of these bugs, the commander of Taylor Civilization would really doubt whether he was fighting against the Zerg.
Because the bugs he is currently fighting are completely different from the bugs mentioned in the information.
At this moment, he doesn't have much time to think about these issues. What he needs to consider now is the next battle plan.
Because just a short while ago, he discovered a very embarrassing thing, that is, if he continues to play like this, all communications on their front lines will be cut off.
This group of bugs has formed a very large electromagnetic pulse area in every war zone through the explosion of baneling insects.
Because of the interference in this area, their signal transmission has already had big problems, and the warships operating in the area have also been greatly affected.
"If their electromagnetic interference area continues to expand, then we will completely lose contact with the frontline combatants."
"And the most important thing is that many of their equipment will be affected to a certain extent, and their combat capabilities will be greatly reduced. As for the mecha..."
Having said this, he subconsciously turned his attention to the last picture sent by the ground combat team.
Tens of thousands of mechas in their base were seen attacking the landing bugs. However, at this moment, several baneling bugs suddenly appeared and exploded without saying a word.
As a dazzling light flashed, the entire area was covered by powerful electromagnetic pulse waves, and the most critical thing was that several banelings were superimposed on each other. It was also for this reason that the interference intensity in this area increased to a Very terrible grade.
Then an embarrassing thing happened. Their mechas could no longer hold up under such circumstances as battleships. Although their mechas had a very high technological level, it did not mean that their mechas could be as good as battleships. Can withstand it.
Therefore, in just an instant, 80% of their mechas were immediately turned into scrap metal, and the remaining 20% were not in particularly good condition at the moment.
Then the next scene was extremely cruel. These players tore their mechas into pieces in a matter of seconds.
As for the soldiers inside, it was even worse. Because of the protection of the mecha, they could barely survive in this area, but once they lost the protection of the mecha, they could only die suddenly on the spot.
And the same thing happened in these strongholds almost at the same time.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he naturally knew that it would definitely not work if he continued like this.
Now the combat effectiveness of this group of bugs has far exceeded his expectation, so he must mobilize all the warships in the area to jointly defend against the enemy.
Only in this way can we have the possibility of victory. If we continue to fight separately as before, we will only be easily defeated by this group of bugs.
And now that they have invaded space and destroyed many of their warships, it would make no sense to let them continue to fight on the front line.
The same goes for the warships in other areas. It is useless to keep these warships there.
Your own safety is the first priority now.
So he immediately ordered to call back these warships.
"Brothers, what we thought was the same, these idiots have transferred all the battleships back!"
"The people of this civilization are timid. I guess their commander is in the space, otherwise it would be impossible to pull the battleship back in such a hurry."
"Brothers like Attack Space, please pay attention. Most of their warships are rushing back now. Your combat pressure will definitely increase a lot by then."
"We will try our best to speed up and remove their other strongholds. Once we have removed all their strongholds, we will rush over to support them immediately."
"OK, no problem, but you should try to be faster.
Because just now, when we came over, more than 10,000 warships emerged from their space.
And now there are many warships coming here one after another in the galaxy, plus the defensive warships they have withdrawn from other areas, the total number is at least 40,000 to 50,000. ”
Hearing what this player said, the players who were destroying the stronghold at the moment were also a little surprised, "No, how could this civilization have so many battleships."
"I don't know either. Anyway, they are flying towards us in dense numbers."
“The idiot upstairs doesn’t know much about the situation.
In fact, there are not many enemy warships. I estimated that there are at most a few thousand ships. The locust army flying up are all mechas, but the guy regards them as warships. ”
"If it's a mecha, you guys should be able to withstand it. The previous baneling players have already prepared a batch of banelings in the insect nest. The king insect can transport them here in half an hour at most. Then we'll be able to carry them over again." We can continue our environment card routine.”
The environment card combat routines are improvised by players before setting off.
Because they had watched many live broadcasts of Tuhao before, they knew very well how important the baneling bug played in the battle.
However, because the cost of advanced evolved banelings was too high for them to afford, they had no choice but to settle for a low-cost baneling routine. That is to use the electromagnetic pulse field generated by the electromagnetic pulse banelings in the second stage of evolution to fight.
Because in this area, all battleships or other combat units will be affected to some extent, and after these things are affected, the enemy's combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
And because the banelings will cover a certain range after they explode, the entire combat area will be covered by superimposing a large number of banelings.
This behavior is somewhat similar to the effect of environment cards in other games.
Change a certain area into an environment suitable for your own operations.
So players affectionately call this tactic the environment card tactic.
And this environment card tactic is very easy to use, because the electromagnetic pulse baneling is very cheap, and it only requires more than 10,000 evolution points in total.
There are so many of them, and each of them can make thousands or tens of thousands of rounds with one or two thousand evolution points.
Of course, the players were unsure about this tactic at first, but after using it just now, they found that the effect was surprisingly good.
It is even said that under certain specific circumstances, the effect produced by these electromagnetic pulse banelings is far greater than that of some higher-stage evolved banelings.
Because once this thing fully covers the area and expands the coverage density to a certain level, many civilized warships may directly become scrap metal inside.
Even if you don't turn it into scrap metal, if your various instruments are interfered with so much, your combat capabilities will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Although these electromagnetic pulses can still cause damage to players, the bugs are quite powerful.
And it also has a certain degree of resistance to these things, so this damage is still within the controllable range of the players.
But what's very worrying is that only they can use this tactic, and rich players like them basically can't use it.
Because this tactic requires the cooperation of many people, in this battle, there were more than 2,000 players responsible for controlling banelings, which was more than the entire wealthy guild combined.
Therefore, although this tactic is very useful, it can only be effective when there are enough people.
At this time, near the space station, the battle between players and Taylor civilization has entered a fierce stage.
Because although this space station is called a space station by players, it is completely different from the space station that launches satellites.
This space station is a huge butterfly-shaped building made of thick armor.
There are various turrets in the periphery of the space, and this space also has a powerful shield system, so this has also resulted in players being unable to break through their shields.
Because the electromagnetic pulse banelings have not come yet, they can only choose to bear it at this time.
Therefore, the losses of players fighting on the front line at this time are actually not low.
In particular, many king insects were eliminated by the enemy's concentrated fire.
Because through previous battles, the commanders of Taylor Civilization knew very well that these king insects were the players’ transportation tools.
They must be cleaned out first, otherwise they will be in big trouble when he releases the contents.
But the only good thing is that this space station is on a planet, so if the king insect fails, the players inside will directly plunge into the planet and fight the enemies inside the planet.
In this way, as time went by, the battle between the two sides became more and more intense.
Because the enemy formations flying out from the planet, as well as the formations of other defensive strongholds, are basically in place.
Up to now, they have not broken through the enemy space station shield, so the players' losses are constantly soaring at this time.
"Brothers, we can't survive. The enemy's firepower is too strong."
"Especially now, with all their combat units united."
"No, brothers, we have changed the battle plan and we will withdraw first. If we continue like this, I'm worried that our entire team of mutant dragons will be wiped out here."
"Holy crap, isn't it? More than 20,000 of you can't beat them?"
"Do you think the enemy is weak? How many of your formations are targeting them on the front line? And there are Banelings to assist you. We don't have any support here, everyone is struggling."
"Moreover, we are not just resisting with scattered forces, but our side is resisting with the opponent's full firepower."
"Also, I have said it many times, we are ordinary players, and most of the players who bought the mutant dragon are basic mutant dragons that have not evolved, and they are incomparable with the troops of the rich.
Don't be obsessed with watching live broadcasts during this period, thinking that our alien dragons are similar to theirs. ”
At this point, the player couldn't care less, "So far, our mutant dragon combat team has lost nearly one-third, but we haven't even broken the enemy's shield yet.
If we continue like this, we will most likely be wiped out, so we’d better withdraw first.
We are no better than those rich people. If they die, they can immediately buy new ones, but if we die, our possessions will be gone. ”
"I feel the same way. It's better to withdraw first. No matter how much the consumption continues before support arrives, we will be gone first.
However, this wave is not completely fruitless. At least through this wave, we have a rough idea of the overall combat capabilities of the enemy in this galaxy. ”
After discussion, the players decided to withdraw first.
After making the decision, the players on the front line immediately began to organize a retreat. The King Insect began to retreat first, while the Alien Dragon players were responsible for breaking up the rear.
Fortunately, during this wave of retreat, the enemy did not catch up, so the players did not lose much when retreating.
At this moment, the players who had to make an emergency landing on the planet because the king insect was killed couldn't help but panic a little after knowing that the frontline troops had retreated.
"Well, brothers upstairs, have you noticed that you seemed to have left something behind when you retreated?"
"What was left behind? Nothing."
"No shit, you left us behind. Have you forgotten us who made the emergency landing?"
"I haven't forgotten, but now we can't take you with us even if we want to. There are so many living king insects that we can't even get in even if we want to take you with us."
"If we send another wave of King Insects over, there is a high probability that they will be beaten to pieces by the enemy.
So the current situation is not that we don’t want to take you, but that we are unable to take you.
Now you have two choices. The first is to continue fighting the enemies inside the planet, but there is a high probability that they will come down to liquidate you.
The second thing is to quickly find a hidden place to hide while there is still time to see if you can escape their search. Of course, you don't need to wait too long.
Because we estimate that we will organize a general attack in these two days. Then we will fight in space, and you can interfere below. ”
After hearing what this player said, the players below naturally knew that this was the only way to go.
"Damn, you said it so lightly. Do you think we can escape their blanket search? The most important thing is that I was abandoned by you, and I think it's nothing.
But I just feel sorry for my troops. It took a lot of effort to get a unit, but it ended up being wasted within two days of playing. ”
The current solution can be understood by most players on the planet, but there are still a few people who feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother, there is really nothing we can do about the current situation. Even if we want to save you, we can only wait until the large army attacks collectively before we have the chance to let the king insect come down to save you.
If we directly send the king insect now, it will not be able to reach this area and will be killed by the enemy. ”
"Is there no other way? The troops I managed to build with great difficulty are dead like this.
well. . . . I feel numb, I feel like my mentality is going to explode. ”
"Brother, there is nothing we can do at this time. In fact, it is normal for one or two soldiers to die in this game. Because you are a newbie and have only entered the game not long ago, you may take the soldiers very seriously.
But after you play for a long time, you will find that the arms in this game are actually just consumables, so under normal circumstances, I recommend not to put all your eggs in one basket.
Even if it is investment, we have to invest in a main C and a deputy C. If the main C fails, we at least have a deputy C who can make a comeback. ”
Having said this, the player then added: "So, brother, you have made a mistake that newcomers to this game will make. You should spend money to buy tickets this time, but I see you feel so distressed. I’m curious as to what kind of weapon you have evolved?”
"Me? I'm just an ordinary worker bee without evolution."
"Damn it! You ordinary worker bee, what are you doing here forcing Lai Lai for a long time!
Mud, I thought you had created an army worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and I was still trying to enlighten you on the outcome. . . . ”
"Get lost@%*#@..."
"Hey, why are you scolding people? And then again, who stipulates that worker bees can't feel sorry for themselves."
From now on, it will be changed to a 6,000-word chapter and will be updated twice a day.
