Chapter 747: "Reinforcements Are Coming"
Qin Yi didn't have much energy to take care of the squad in the hive, because the frontal battlefield was also facing tremendous pressure.
The overwhelming sea of insects is not just concentrated on the front, these swarms can also suddenly appear from the ground without warning, causing heavy losses to many unsuspecting human bases.
The disparity in the strength of the two sides made Qin Yi unable to resist the offensive of the Zerg even if he was engrossed in commanding the battle on the frontal battlefield.
Suddenly, Qin Yi's pupils contracted suddenly.
A unit on the frontal battlefield collapsed in an instant in the impact of a sea of worms, and the remaining soldiers fell into chaos and fought separately, the loss of a strategic place directly led to the collapse of the entire regional battlefield, and the sea of worms was like a fly that smelled the smell of rotting flesh tore a hole in the human defense line, and the situation of the entire battlefield collapsed in an instant!
The defeat has been achieved, Qin Yi is still constantly controlling the various troops to counterattack, but to no avail, and soon, the frontal battlefield is completely submerged by the sea of insects.
The remaining human soldiers had to abandon the military base on the planet that had spent a lot of time and effort to build, and retreat back into the starry sky and back to the perimeter of the command ship.
In the news that came like snowflakes, Qin Yi didn't notice that the AS-371-45 team had died silently in the Zerg lair, just like other elite teams.
Darkness once again enveloped the entire command space, and Qin Yi once again tasted defeat.
Qin Yi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Start again." ”
In his memory, there were already at least a dozen battles, large and small, and there was no talk of a "fresh start".
Because of the dozen or so battles before, he completed them very well.
He once thought he had mastered the essentials of command: as long as he made the right decisions on each local battlefield, combined with the detailed data given by AEEIS, he could control the situation on the battlefield.
But now Qin Yi realizes that things are obviously not so simple.
At a time when the balance of power between humans and the Zerg is a balance or even an advantage, this command style is indeed the safest way to win the battle.
But once the strength of the Zerg is higher than that of humans, then this command style will lead to extinction in a step-by-step manner.
There are a large number of frigates around the command ship, but in order to protect the safety of the command ship, the combined fleet actually wastes a lot of troops, leaving the human forces on the surface of the planet in a practical weak position compared to the Zerg.
Starting the same battle again, Qin Yi had a clearer understanding of the situation at the beginning of this battle.
The Zerg that they saw at the beginning of the war only accounted for a small fraction of the Zerg's true strength. There are many more swarms hidden in the underground hives, hidden in the cosmic space on the far side of the planet, waiting for an opportunity.
The "decapitation operation" is just a good wish, once it enters the tug-of-war, whether it is a frontal battlefield or the team that executes the "decapitation operation", there is only a dead end in the face of the dominant sea of insects.
Qin Yi took a deep breath, pulled the command ship out alone, and placed it alone in a dark starry sky.
Then, he pulled out several large frigates, equipped with a large number of area kill weapons, together with the command ship, as a decoy.
The remaining main forces of the combined fleet, part of which is attacking the Zerg in the front, and the other part is going around the back of the planet to intercept the Zerg fleet that is cruising in space and waiting for an opportunity.
In this way, the human race surpassed the Zerg in strength on the battlefield.
If the Zerg do not perform the decapitation operation on the command ship, then the humans who occupy the position of superiority in strength have a good chance; If the Zerg performs a decapitation operation on the command ship, then the commander can sacrifice a large number of Zerg forces at his own expense, further guaranteeing victory on the frontal battlefield.
The images around Qin Yi kept switching to all corners of the battlefield.
On the frontal battlefield, the human troops suppressed the Zerg in terms of the number of troops, not only holding the defensive line, but also having the spare strength to continue to advance, approaching the top of the Zerg brood and cooperating with the decapitation mission;
The human fleet and the Zerg fleet in space encountered, countless starships burst and disintegrated, and countless Leviathan behemoths of the Zerg were attacked by dense artillery fire, the poisonous gas in their bodies burned violently, and the firelight in the sky was like brilliant fireworks;
The decapitation squads that went deep into the Zerg lair were still losing contact one by one, but due to the effective dispersion of the swarm on the frontal battlefield, the survival rate of these squads was significantly higher than before.
Everything seems to be going smoothly according to plan.
However, at this moment, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded throughout the space, and red warning words appeared on the surrounding screens, and a large number of Zerg troops forcibly broke through the outer defense line of the command ship and rushed towards the command ship!
AEEIS's icy voice rang out: "Attention! Once the command ship is destroyed, all forces will be taken over by AEEIS, and the commander is requested to deploy accordingly in advance. ”
Qin Yi quickly turned his gaze and gave orders to each of the troops.
Ask the frontal troops to speed up the offensive and rush to the top of the hive explored by the decapitation team, and prepare to cooperate with the decapitation team's actions;
Demand that the fleet on the far side of the planet hold off the remaining Zerg fleet at all costs;
After consuming most of its weapons, the frigates were asked to rush into the swarm and self-destruct to delay time, and finally, the remaining frigates gathered around the command ship and died with the swarm.
In the snowflakes of information, Qin Yi saw countless requests for reinforcements from the decapitation team, including the AS-371-45 team's request for reinforcements.
But Qin Yi no longer had any troops on hand that could be used for reinforcements.
Below these requests for reinforcements, there are several response templates provided by AEEAIS, and of course, Qin Yi can also give instructions to AEEIS verbally.
Still, he opened his mouth and didn't make any sound.
Instead, I clicked on the console and selected a templated reply provided by AEEAIS.
[Continue the mission, reinforcements are coming.] 】
After he chose this reply message, he switched his vision back to the command ship, and the sea of insects in the dark background seemed to be close at hand.
One by one, the command ships crashed into the densest places in the sea of insects, and brilliant fireworks lit up and extinguished in the dark night sky, and the huge battleship disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
After delaying as much time as possible, the dense swarm of insects had already surrounded the command ship, and the Leviathan behemoth spewed countless zergs into the human fleet, which could be seen from God's perspective like meat scraps surrounded by ants.
The few remaining frigates moved slightly closer to the command ship and pressed the final detonation button at the same time.
A strong light flashed, and the space where Qin Yi was located became snow-white, and it took more than ten seconds before the picture was restored again.
AEEIS took over control of Qin Yi and commanded the battle that followed.
Qin Yi was like a person who had already died, and he had watched the final scene of the battle in his soul state.
The battle was won, and even better than the battle that actually took place.
But Qin Yi didn't have the slightest happy expression on his face, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "Go on." ”
The image of AEEIS reappeared after a while: "Commander, the next step will be to enter the 'Random Campaign' practice mode. ”
"The next battles encountered were those that had happened before, but the initial configuration had changed; There are fictitious battles randomly generated by intelligent systems based on algorithms; There will even be battles in which there is a huge disparity in forces, the conditions are harsh, and there is no possibility of victory at all. ”
"There will be no mission objectives in random battles, it's up to you to decide the battle strategy, and there will no longer be a time limit for each battle. It will be up to you to judge the situation on the battlefield, whether to fight or retreat, to annihilate or to stop the loss, depending on your judgment. ”
"Good luck, Commander."
Qin Yi didn't say anything, but continued to command the next battle with a blank face.
Without a clear battle goal and a clear time limit, Qin Yi had to decide for himself what he wanted to do, whether to attack head-on, or to leave a small part of the troops to break off and create an opportunity for the main force to retreat.
The battlefield can take place anywhere on the planet, and the timeline seems to be very chaotic, with some squads that had already died in previous campaigns reappearing in new campaigns; At the beginning of some battles, the full squad in Qin An's impression became incomplete.
Qin An didn't ask much, because he vaguely understood the intention of this move: to cultivate himself in any situation and under any condition to quickly formulate the most correct combat strategy according to the power comparison and objective situation of humans and Zerg on the battlefield.
Qin Yi calmly controlled the troops, performing various tasks, the data counted by AEEIS has become an important basis for him to make decisions, people's fear, blood, ignorance and other complex emotions, all under the big data analysis has become a part of the decision-making reference, lies and sacrifices, into the success rate of the rising figures.
The scenes around Qin Yi kept changing, and one random battle after another ended.
In three hours of sleep a day, precious time passes minute by minute.
Another medium-sized regional campaign began.
Qin Yi still calmly analyzed the situation on the battlefield as usual, considered possible unexpected situations, and fully took the uncertainties of each team into account in decision-making.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
According to Qin Yi's requirements, several lark battle teams went to explore the Zerg nest in an unknown state, and after collecting intelligence, they could use this as a basis to formulate a battle plan for the main force.
The frontal battlefield also had to beware of the possible surprise attack of the Zerg at any time, so Qin Yi didn't pay much attention to these lark battle teams.
Soon, however, one communication after another was sent from a certain squad.
Qin Yi could choose to ignore this information, but he still took time out of his busy schedule to take a look.
In the Zerg Lair, a certain team of larks on a mission has been reduced to only three people, the captain has been killed, and the remaining two team members, one of whom has had his entire right leg blown off, while the other team member is guarding him, repelling the approaching Zerg.
Although the two of them are safe for the time being, soon, the more powerful Zerg warriors will find them and stay here to a dead end.
Qin Yi glanced at it, the task of collecting intelligence had been basically completed, and the chance of survival of the injured team members was already very low, so there was no need to take one more team member in.
So, Qin Yi casually ordered a retreat, and turned his attention to other places on the battlefield again.
However, a few minutes later, when Qin Yi looked at the location of the team again, he only saw the image of the miniature reactor exploding.
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, he clicked on the information of these two team members, and found that these two team members from the European fleet were a couple.
AEEIS's voice sounded: "The accuracy of the analysis data of the intelligent system is above 87%, but sometimes there are some unpredictable behaviors or phenomena, which is to better simulate the unexpected situation in the real battlefield." ”
Qin Yi did not speak, but continued to direct the next battle until the end of the entire regional campaign.
After the battle, Qin Yi leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, and was silent for a few minutes.
"Was the battle just now real?"
"Or did it start earlier?"
"You guys mixed real battles into the 'Random Campaign' mode?"
AEEIS didn't answer immediately, but after a while, he replied, "It started with the sixth battle after the addition of the 'Immersive Element'. ”
"Commander, so far, you have played 17 real battles, large and small, and you have done a good job."
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment: "Why did the sixth battle begin?" ”
AEEIS: "The Supreme Executive Council of the Combined Fleet must be accountable to all soldiers on the front line and cannot put their lives in the hands of a novice commander. ”
"From the sixth battle onwards, AEEIS and the Supreme Executive Council have agreed that you have the ability to command small campaigns."
Qin Yi was silent for a long time: "In other words, in these 17 battles, every soldier who died was a living person, including the couple just now. ”
AEEIS: "Yes. ”
