Chapter 253 Bloody Battle (Part 2)
But is the Xuefeng really unable to fight against the Super Leviathan of the Insect King as He Zhenzhu imagined?
Obviously not, otherwise Qi Yiming would not have forced a decisive battle with the Insect King in this strange galaxy knowing that the Xuefeng would lose.
Although the Xuefeng super flagship only brought 1,500 ship-borne warships into the battlefield, her own combat power is not inferior to the Super Leviathan of the Insect King.
It’s just that the number of warships guarding her is too small, which makes the battle situation facing the Xuefeng extremely dangerous.
First of all, the main gun of the Xuefeng super flagship, the Spear, does not need a long time to charge when it launches particle light spears like she does in single state.
When the Spear is combined with the super flagship, she has three independent energy storage rooms, plus a separate energy supply device, the speed of the Spear firing particle light spears can reach five times per minute.
Even in extreme conditions, the Spear can release the energy stored in the three energy storage rooms at one time.
And it only takes less than three minutes for the three energy storage rooms to complete a charge with the support of separate energy supply equipment.
This means that every three minutes or so, the Xuefeng super flagship can launch an enhanced particle light spear.
In addition to the functions of the other modular warships possessed by the Xuefeng super flagship, it is fully capable of suppressing the Super Leviathan of the Zerg King.
The only thing that makes Qi Yiming distressed is the 1,500 ship-borne warships brought by the Xuefeng, and more than half of them will be sunk here by the Zerg.
On the road of escape, the human warships are sunk one by one, and there is no time and opportunity to replenish the lost combat power.
If the Zerg keeps chasing like this, when Qi Yiming finds and activates the war star, it is likely that there will not be enough warships to accompany the war star for counterattack.
The Zerg aerospace forces quickly surrounded the Xuefeng and her escort warships.
At this time, Qi Yiming's fleet was like a small boat sailing in the sea of worms, and it was possible to capsize at any time.
But He Zhenzhu could not see any nervous expression on Qi Yiming's face. She didn't know where Qi Yiming got the confidence to defeat the Super Leviathan of the Zerg King and its Zerg army under such circumstances.
But the performance of the Xuefeng completely changed He Zhenzhu's perception of the modular warships of the strategic strike fleet.
Although He Zhenzhu and Qi Yiming belong to the same era of human beings, she does not know much about the strategic strike fleet because of her identity. Her understanding of modular warships only stays at the level of transformable warfare and strong combat power. How strong they are, she slowly understood it after participating in several operations with Qi Yiming after waking up.
The first attack launched by the Xuefeng was not the main gun war spear, but the heavy torpedo fired by the Hammer.
This is one of the few weapons of the Xuefeng that can directly attack the Super Leviathan by crossing the Zerg army.
Two heavy torpedoes with short-range jump engines rushed out of the launch tube, accelerated for a distance, and then entered the jump channel.
When they appeared again, they were already very close to the Super Leviathan. Even if the Zerg King's reaction was sensitive, it was impossible to intercept these two heavy torpedoes at such a close distance, so Leviathan suffered the first direct damage since the war began.
The energy from the two heavy torpedoes instantly penetrated the biomass armor on one side of the Super Leviathan, stripping off a large piece of biomass from its body, which made the crew members on the Xuefeng very excited.
Originally, everyone thought they were dead, but they immediately became excited after seeing the attack on Leviathan.
As for the ship-borne warships brought by the Xuefeng, they were surrounding the Xuefeng in the center in a spherical formation.
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of these warships, the Xuefeng always maintained long-range support for these warships.
But even so, one or two of the 1,500 ship-borne warships would still be sunk from time to time under the siege of the Zerg aerospace forces.
There was no way around it. The number of Zerg was too large, and the long-range support of the Xuefeng could not be estimated even if it was timely.
Looking at the Leviathan that had just been attacked by a torpedo, the position that had just been attacked had been repaired, and the biomass on the surface had hardened to form a new layer of biomass armor.
However, the attack of the Snow Peak did not stop. The heavy torpedoes of the Heavy Hammer continuously hit the Super Leviathan at a rate of 4 rounds per minute.
As the most important weapon of the Snow Peak, the War Spear simply gave up the ordinary attack and directly used the launch program of the enhanced particle light spear.
Although the shooting every 3 minutes seems to have a long interval, each launch causes a large number of casualties to the Zerg.
Unlike torpedo attacks that only attack the Leviathan body, the enhanced particle light spear will also sweep away the Zerg aerospace forces within the firing range while attacking the Leviathan body.
The casualties of a large number of troops are actually a huge trouble for the Zerg King. In order to maintain the suppression of numbers, Leviathan must hatch individual Zergs in its body at all times.
The biomass for hatching individual Zergs is not conjured out of thin air, but the biomass stored in the huge hull of Leviathan.
In this way, the elimination of individual Zergs is actually consuming the combat power of the Zerg King Super Leviathan.
Every time the Snow Peak completed an attack with a particle light spear, hundreds of millions of Zerg aerospace forces would be vaporized, and at the same time, Leviathan itself would suffer considerable damage.
Less than ten minutes after the two sides started fighting, the Super Leviathan had shrunk a lot because of the large amount of biomass consumed.
However, this consumption is not fatal to the Super Leviathan, because the role of the Leviathan itself is to use the biomass stored in its body to hatch a large number of individuals for the Zerg on the battlefield to enrich the front line.
Qi Yiming also knew that if the consumption continued like this, the Xuefeng would be eaten by the Zerg sooner or later.
The most direct way now is for the Xuefeng super flagship to conduct close-range shooting, that is, to fire an enhanced particle light spear close to the face of the Leviathan.
In order to achieve this goal, Qi Yiming can only let the fleet charge forward with huge casualties.
1,500 carrier-based warships were sunk one by one by the Zerg as the assault unfolded.
Often, the fleet has to pay the price of 200 to 220 warships being sunk for advancing 10,000 kilometers, and this is still under the full support of the Xuefeng.
Of course, the Zerg King is not a fuel-saving lamp. It can certainly guess what Qi Yiming is thinking, and it actually slowly retreats along the direction of the human fleet's assault. Qi Yiming is so angry that he wants to catch the Zerg King on the opposite side and bite him to death.
But the battlefield is so cruel. When others can control you at will, no matter what choice you make, you will feel constrained everywhere.
Qi Yiming had no choice but to take the risk of using short-distance jump.
In fact, when facing the Zerg, he didn't want to face the human fleet.
Even if the human fleet is arranged in a dense formation, it will still leave some maneuvering space, but the Zerg is different.
They really crowded together to attack the enemy, and short-distance jump was impossible to achieve, but Qi Yiming wanted to get close and shoot, so he had to take a risk.
