Chapter 276: The Alien Tribe's Careful Preparations
Through the perspective of a five-star Zerg host, Wu Qing saw the latest defense deployment in the 996th city of the alien race. There were a large number of siege machines in the city.
The tall frame that can be seen from a distance is a giant catapult. Just by looking at the length of the catapult's swing arm, you can judge its ultra-long attack distance.
They are placed in rows on the open ground, like giant towers, surrounded by many people and materials, busy but not chaotic.
You can also faintly see the white light flowing above these positions, as if they are guarded by energy arrays.
In addition to the most conspicuous giant catapult, there are many siege machines that Wu Qing has never seen before, deployed in various defensive positions in the city. Among them, the most impressive to Wu Qing is a giant cannon and a giant honeycomb-style siege machine.
These two types of siege machines are the most numerous. Their positions, like the giant catapult, have a large number of people and materials, as well as the protection of energy arrays. They are the focus of protection of the alien army.
That giant cannon is a bit like the Yuanqi cannon of the Yuanqi civilization in Wu Qing's original world. The goblins also have this kind of energy cannon, but they are rarely sold to the outside world. Wu Qing has only heard of it and has never seen the real thing.
That honeycomb-style siege equipment is somewhat similar to the Tang Sect hidden weapon Storm Pear Blossom Needle that Wu Qing knows, but it is much larger and denser. They should be able to fire thousands of siege crossbows at a time.
From the various preparations for war that the Tianwai people's Jiujiuli City has put on the surface, it can be seen that the Tianwai people have made a lot of preparations for the characteristics of the Zerg army.
"The use of a large number of siege equipment shows that the alien race has a deep foundation!"
"Siege equipment is not afraid of the Zerg Queen's spawning attack, and it should also perform well in dealing with the Zerg Destroyer. This is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone!"
"And there seem to be quite a few five-star troops in the city, and various light attribute energy arrays are used in large quantities. The alien race is waiting for us to fall into their trap!"
"Such a city must have a space transmission channel. Even if the Zerg go all out, it will not be easy to fight!"
"Now the Zerg can fight in their true colors and no longer have to act deliberately!"
"..."
After the 996 cities of the alien race entered the state of preparation for war, a lot of things were shown. It can be seen that the alien race was well prepared and was waiting for the Zerg army to attack.
This is really a matter of will. When the thunder of the sky touches the fire of the ground, it will explode at a touch!
Wu Qing felt the determination of the alien race to fight a decisive battle with the Zerg, and he also needed to fight this battle with his heart.
The first Zerg sub-base under the 66th city is hatching Zerg puppies with all its strength. All the hatched Zerg puppies have entered the sphere of influence of the alien race and are on standby.
The Zerg puppies that were originally performing reconnaissance and cleaning tasks within the local camp, and those close to the sphere of influence of the alien race, have also begun to move to the sphere of influence of the alien race.
Wu Qing will continuously improve the combat effectiveness of the more than two million main combat arms of the Zerg in batches and step by step during the war, and restore their sustained combat capabilities.
Even if the Zerg is seriously injured and dying, it can also pupate and evolve by improving its star strength and return to normal.
For this reason, Wu Qing has reserved a large amount of system resources.
Based on more than two million Zerg main combat arms, it is sufficient for the time being. If the situation changes, the first Zerg sub-base under the 66th city not far away can replenish the main combat arms at any time.
The gap in military strength between the Zerg army and the alien army must be made up by Zerg puppies.
Wu Qing wants to use a large number of Zerg Zerglings whose combat power has reached the level of a one-star troop to gradually make the alien race feel what despair is.
…
This time Wu Qing did not play the trick again, and directly surrounded the entire 996 city of the alien race with countless Zerg Zerglings.
In the surrounding areas of the 996 city of the alien race, there are still a large number of Zerg Zerglings. If the reinforcements of the alien army want to come to reinforce through normal channels, they must first pass the Zerg Zerglings.
With the continuous addition of Zerg Zerglings, this encirclement will become more and more tight.
The main combat arms of the Zerg began to deploy troops in the selected positions.
With a large number of Zerg Zerglings around, there is no need to worry about the ground assault of the alien army. The formation of the main combat arms of the Zerg has been adjusted accordingly.
More than one million Zerg Hydralisks are distributed in the battle formation in an orderly manner, mainly responsible for providing anti-aircraft firepower for the main formation of the entire Zerg main combat arms.
The outer defense of the main Zerg battle corps was given to the Zerg cockroaches and Zerg stealth spiders.
If the alien army wants to attack from the ground, it must first break through the defense line of the Zerg hounds, which gives the Zerg main battle corps time to adjust the formation according to the situation, enough to deal with various emergencies.
Therefore, the formation deployment of the main Zerg battle corps, except for the distribution of Zerg destroyers and Zerg hydralisks, the deployment of other arms has become less important.
The large number of siege equipment prepared by the aliens is not yet known for its specific power. In order to reduce the losses when attacked, the 150,000 Zerg destroyers are arranged very sparsely, with a certain distance between them.
In the Zerg destroyer phalanx, many areas are guarded by Zerg hydralisks.
These 150,000 Zerg destroyers alone will occupy a large area.
"Bang Bang Bang...!"
Before the main battle formation of the Zerg was fully deployed, the ultra-long-range siege equipment of the 996th city of the alien race began to test fire.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
Those giant catapults threw out huge white spherical shells, flying towards the main battle formation of the Zerg.
Those giant energy cannons fired light-attribute energy shells, also flying towards the main battle formation of the Zerg.
Both of these siege equipment have a very long range, so the flying speed of the shells is not very fast, and ordinary people can clearly see the trajectory of the shells flying in the air.
After the Queen's quick calculation, a small part of the shells fired by these ultra-long-range siege equipment weapons of the alien race can fall into the main battle formation of the Zerg, and most of them will fall into the surrounding Zerg puppy group.
This is determined by the location of those ultra-long-range siege equipment in the 996 city of the alien race. The alien army conducted test firing to calibrate the attack range of the siege equipment at various locations and test the attack effect of the siege equipment.
These siege equipment were urgently transferred and deployed by the alien race. They must have known that the Zerg was monitoring the 996 city, so they waited until the Zerg army came to attack before they were deployed.
This kind of siege equipment with a very long range must be tested to play a better role.
The results of the test firing came out soon.
Most of the white spherical shells and light-attribute energy shells fell in front of the main formation of the Zerg main combat unit, where the Zerg puppies were located.
The Zerg puppies, who had received the warning from the queen, all drilled into the ground to avoid the upcoming attack.
The Zerg Hydralisks in the main formation of the Zerg main combat unit sprayed dense armor-piercing spikes and splashed Zerg biological decomposition liquid to form a powerful anti-aircraft firepower network.
The shells in this world are not like the shells of technological civilization. Because of the existence of various magical energies, they are much worse than those of technological civilization in terms of aerodynamics, which leads to the fact that the flying speed of various ultra-long-range attack shells that Wu Qing has seen is not fast enough and is easier to be intercepted.
The same is true for the liquid fireball shells of the Zerg destroyers, which are often intercepted by dense anti-aircraft firepower networks.
This may be related to the rules of this world. The stronger the Zerg destroyer, the faster the liquid fireball shells it launches.
The attacks of five-star Zerg destroyers are difficult to be intercepted by ordinary anti-aircraft arms, but there are still ways to intercept them.
Perhaps it will take until the strength of the Zerg destroyers reaches a higher level before their shells can reach an ultra-high speed that cannot be intercepted.
Wu Qing doesn't know how to distinguish the power levels of those artificial siege machines. Obviously, the ultra-long-range siege machines used by the alien human army have a flying speed of shells that is not much different from the flying speed of the liquid fireballs of one-star Zerg destroyers.
This flying speed can be intercepted by stronger anti-aircraft units.
Coincidentally, the Zerg Hydralisk is the best anti-aircraft unit.
"Boom...!"
"Boom...!"
The energy shells fired by the giant energy cannon, as expected, are the light-attribute energy with the characteristics of purification and annihilation that explodes, which can purify and annihilate all substances.
The white spherical shells fired by the giant catapult are similar to the shells of the siege equipment made by the goblins, producing mixed energy explosions, high temperatures, physical damage and other damage, which is a bit like the special shells of technological civilization.
The power of both shells is very strong, almost comparable to the attack of a five-star Zerg destroyer.
The goblins generally do not sell siege equipment with this range and power publicly. It is a siege weapon that cannot be bought with money and is of extraordinary value.
All the shells flying to the main camp of the Zerg main combat unit were intercepted by the dense anti-aircraft firepower network fired by the Zerg Hydralisk at high speed.
A large number of shells with power comparable to that of a five-star Zerg Destroyer exploded in mid-air, causing a lot of damage to the Zerg army below.
Most of the shells that landed directly exploded violently on the open space where the Zerg puppies were originally located, and huge pits appeared on the flat ground.
The Zerg puppies hiding underground all suffered strong shocks. Fortunately, they were not weak, otherwise the Zerg puppies that were close would suffer casualties.
"The range and power are both very good!"
Wu Qing asked the alien army to fire first, and also wanted to see the power of those siege equipment.
Now it seems that the siege equipment prepared by the aliens has a good range and power, but it is still within the controllable range of the Zerg.
Especially the giant energy cannon, which is very similar to the weakened version of the Yuanqi energy cannon in Wu Qing's original world, which makes Wu Qing look a little familiar.
"Boom boom boom...!"
The Zerg Destroyer launched a counterattack against the 996 cities of the aliens without hesitation.
Ten thousand five-star Zerg destroyers, using the coordinates provided by the Zerg host, attacked the ultra-long-range siege equipment position in the 996th city of the alien race.
"Such precious siege equipment should not be easily destroyed!"
Wu Qing did not hold much hope for the Zerg destroyers' counterattack against the alien race's siege equipment.
Sure enough, the liquid fireball shells flying towards the siege equipment position of the 996th city of the alien race were intercepted by the powerful anti-aircraft firepower of the alien army.
The long-range bow and crossbow soldiers of the alien race, the magic soldiers of various races, and various strange siege equipment throughout the city jointly built the anti-aircraft firepower network of the alien race's Jiujiuliu City.
Especially the honeycomb siege equipment that Wu Qing had paid attention to, guarding the ultra-long-range siege equipment position.
The structure of the honeycomb siege equipment is very special. At one time, it can fire tens of thousands of high-speed crossbow arrows. To Wu Qing, it feels a bit like the close-range artillery system on modern warships, which can instantly form a terrifying barrage.
The liquid fireball shells fired by the Zerg destroyers that passed through the layers of anti-aircraft firepower network were mostly intercepted by this honeycomb siege weapon that was only responsible for defending the ultra-long-range siege equipment position.
Because the area they are responsible for defending is small, the anti-aircraft firepower that can be fired instantly is dense and powerful, and the success rate of interception is very high.
"Boom...!"
"Boom...!"
Many of the more than 100,000 liquid fireballs fired by the Zerg destroyers were hit by various dense anti-aircraft firepower networks, exploded in the air, and the sky was full of high-temperature corrosive mucus falling like rain.
The aliens are already very familiar with the attacks of the Zerg destroyers. The magic troops in Jiujiuli City continue to clean up the high-temperature corrosive mucus falling from the sky using various magic.
The Zerg destroyers have a force of up to 150,000, and the range of attacking Jiujiuli City is very wide, which is much more difficult than the Zerg intercepting the attacks of the alien siege equipment.
A large number of liquid fireball shells fell into Jiujiuli City, landing on the city walls, streets, squares and various buildings, and violent explosions occurred.
The city's buildings and facilities were damaged, and a large number of people were killed and wounded!
The alien army was very calm in the face of this attack. Although the various logistics personnel who lived in the city were also equipped with simple weapons and equipment, they were not professional combat personnel and seemed a little confused.
The aliens had made some efforts in the 996th city in advance. In view of the attack characteristics of the Zerg destroyers, many places in the city urgently built some special bunkers, which had a certain protective effect against the attacks of the Zerg destroyers.
This made the killing effect of the Zerg destroyers worse than expected.
There were also a small number of five-star Zerg destroyers that broke through the layers of anti-aircraft firepower network of the alien army and hit the positions of those ultra-long-range siege equipment.
One by one, the light attribute energy shields protected the positions of the ultra-long-range siege equipment under attack.
These light attribute energy shields were not the rule-level energy shields used by the aliens in the 66th city to protect the space transmission channel. They were just ordinary shields that consumed light attribute energy.
But as long as there was enough energy support, their defensive capabilities should not be underestimated.
The attacks of the five-star Zerg destroyers did not attack the light attribute energy shields in the best condition.
