Chapter 50: The Battle for Survival (11)
From the moment the "Dawn" was activated and the attack was launched, the fleet of the Dark Abyss had already made all preparations to deal with the onslaught of the Heavenly Demon Army. As an excellent general, Lu Amaranth will not expose himself when his own formation is not set up.
There is little interstellar terrain for fleets, and asteroid belts can hide their tracks and make it easier for fleets to approach the battlefield, but they cannot be used as roadblocks to hinder the enemy's advance.
Compared to the huge warships, the monks are more able to shuttle flexibly in the asteroid belt, so the fleet of the Darkest Abyss, just like when fighting in the Wall-Facing Star Field, is placed in a simple and effective formation of three mountains.
At this time, Lu Amaranth looked at the black clouds of the Heavenly Demon Cultivator who were rushing like a swarm of bees, and calmly ordered all the departments to open fire.
More than forty Dawn heavy cannons are still the fleet's greatest support, and every time their light shines, they will send out cannon fire equivalent to a blow in the Saint Realm. For the monks of the Great Luo Jin Immortal Realm, this is an existence that cannot be taken lightly.
The surging black tide, under the heavy cannon fire mixed with the dawn cannon, was quickly overwhelmed by the explosion of light in front of it. Dense clusters of light are connected to each other and converge into a tide of light. Later, a huge lake of white light was formed, which was shocking.
It was not so easy for an ordinary heavy artillery to smash a Great Luo Jin Immortal Realm cultivator. It would require a sustained artillery fire, first of all to break through the monk's protective air shield. When there is room to move, many monks can dodge or retreat before the life-and-death crisis comes, and their companions behind them will come up and continue to move forward in their place.
Although casualties are inevitable, the rolling advance of the battle formation can be effectively realized.
In past wars, the Heavenly Demons rarely attacked the fleet head-on, and most of the time they approached covertly, in order to prevent the fleet from taking advantage of heavy artillery fire. But it is not for nothing when it comes to frontal charge, but whenever this happens, the Heavenly Demon Army will use this method of advancement.
Today, however, the situation is different.
If the previous Heavenly Demon Army attacked the fleet, similar to the mortal armor attacking the city, and the city head was densely equipped with bows and crossbows, in the case of equal troops, it could still rely on its own bravery and defensive air shield, and go to the head of the city to fight after paying a certain price, then now, the Dark Abyss Fleet with the Dawn Heavy Cannon is like a city with a bed crossbow.
Whether it is the Dawn Heavy Artillery or the Bed Crossbow, it is not something that the attacker can compete with, but if it is hit head-on, it will immediately lose its combat power and die, and there will be no second situation at all.
There are many Heavenly Demon armies that charge, and every time the Dawn Heavy Artillery bombards, there will be Heavenly Demon Monks who are killed on the spot, and almost none of them miss. The Heavenly Demon Army did not have a holy battle array, and it could not be as vertical and horizontal as when Li Ye's team rushed to kill that day, and the monks who rushed forward quickly suffered heavy casualties and the offensive was blocked.
When Chen Xuanzhi saw this scene, he immediately asked the Heavenly Demon Army to adjust the direction of the charge and avoid the Dawn Heavy Artillery.
Now that the Heavenly Demon Army has not yet come into contact with the fleet, the Saint Realm is not safe in the past, after all, the number of Heavenly Demons in the Saint Realm is too small to compete head-on. If there were twenty or thirty, Chen Xuanzhi would certainly not care about the forty or so Dawn heavy cannons. One is flexible and the other is rigid, and it is not difficult to deal with it.
"When the army rushes into the fleet, the first thing you have to do is deal with the heavy artillery, and you are ready. Chen Xuanzhi instructed several Saint Realm Heavenly Demons with complete combat strength. To quickly and effectively deal with those battleships that are set up at dawn, there is no doubt that the action of the Saint Realm will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.
Seeing that the Heavenly Demon Army began to adjust the queue and deliberately avoided the Dawn Heavy Artillery, Lu Amaranth quietly ordered: "Pass the order, the battleships equipped with the Dawn Heavy Artillery will change their positions in the formation according to the No. 2 plan of the first word." ”
This is not the first time that Dawn heavy artillery has been used on the battlefield.
With the experience of the last time, Lu Amaranth already has some experience on how to better exert the power of the Dawn Heavy Artillery and avoid being destroyed by the other party.
As Captain Mo passed on Lu Amaranth's order, the Azure System controlled more than forty warships carrying Dawn and moved in the three-dimensional formation of the fleet. Under the assessment of the Azure system, they quickly reached a new position and continued to bombard the densest position of the Heavenly Demon Formation.
Focusing on the issue of avoiding the Dawn Heavy Cannon and giving full play to the power of the Dawn Heavy Artillery, the Dark Abyss Battleship and the Heavenly Demon Army have carried out continuous formation adjustments. In this way, the number of Heavenly Demon Monks killed by the Dawn Heavy Cannon was indeed reduced, but adjusting the queue for a long time also slowed down their offensive and progress.
But as the battle continued, whether it was the battlefield of the Ji Ning Fleet or the battlefield of the Lu Amaranth Fleet, the Heavenly Demon Army was constantly approaching the main formation of the fleet by relying on its numerical and combat superiority.
Especially on the Azure Fleet, the Heavenly Demon Army has already gnawed down the outer array and is heading towards the central belt. Although Ji Ningji let the fleet set up a defensive ball formation, slowing down the attack pace of the Heavenly Demon Army to the greatest extent and inflicting a lot of damage on the other side, but in terms of the general situation, it was only a matter of time before the fleet formation was completely stirred.
And in such a battle situation, the army of monks under the command of Li Ye's Sage Realm monk team withdrew from the battle early, went to the center of the ball formation where there was no battle, and began to recuperate.
"There are too many Heavenly Demon Cultivators, and the outer warships that have fallen, although they are currently fighting with the other party, will soon be completely engulfed. By the time the warships in the central region also fell into a chaotic battle with the Heavenly Demon Cultivators, our ball formation basically didn't exist. ”
Ji Ningji said to Li Ye with a solemn expression, she wasn't complaining about anything, she was just simply stating the facts. Although she was also extremely happy because of the appearance of the Darkest Abyss before, she quickly realized that this still could not change the overall situation on the battlefield.
Li Ye didn't answer Ji Ningji's words, but just paid attention to the situation on the battlefield.
At present, the Azure Government Fleet and the Dark Abyss Fleet are fighting together, and the two sides have also begun to share information. The picture on the display screen of Lu Amaranth's command cabin was also transmitted to the Pangu in real time, and Li Ye could understand the battle situation on the other side's side at the same time.
There is no doubt that as the Blue Government fleet, which had started much earlier in the battle, the situation here was much worse than that of the Darkest Abyss. The outer formation of the ball formation was occupied by the Heavenly Demons, which was equivalent to the enemy army capturing the city, and now it had begun to fight into the city, and the two sides launched a more bloody street battle.
However, because the Azure Government's fleet has more than 80,000 warships, it is not so easy for the Heavenly Demon Army to make phased progress, and it will always take a lot of time and pay a lot of price.
This time was full of torment for Ji Ningji.
If she was convinced that her side would lose, it would be better, but she would just fight to the last moment and then die. Knowing the result, you don't think too much about it. But since listening to Li Ye's plan and still having hope for the next battle situation, it is difficult for Ji Ningji to be indifferent.
It is precisely because there is hope and extravagant hope that the mood is unstable, and it is inevitable to worry and worry.
"Later, I will take the team of monks from my headquarters to the Dark Abyss to fight. When the Heavenly Demon Army had already attacked the central region, Li Ye suddenly spoke.
Ji Ningji bowed his head silently.
The battle situation on the side of the Darkest Abyss is much better, they appeared late, and there are divine weapons such as the Dawn Heavy Artillery, and now although the Heavenly Demon Army is fiercely attacking, it has not yet been large-scale to take over, and the small vanguard team that has entered the battleship group has been annihilated.
On the side of the Azure Conquest Fleet, the battle situation is already stalemate, and it is difficult to change the situation.
Soon, Ji Ningji raised his head
Said: "The number of warships in the Darkest Abyss is small, they can't support us for so long, and they have the Dawn Heavy Artillery to attract the attention of the Heavenly Demons, Chen Xuanzhi will inevitably send the Saint Realm Heavenly Demons over, you take people to settle the battle situation over there first, it is indeed the right choice." ”
Li Ye nodded and didn't say anything more.
He did not leave immediately, but quietly watched the battlefield.
The battlefield outside is densely populated, as many as fireflies on a summer night, and the stars are everywhere. Every flash of fire means that a battleship is damaged. In this current battlefield where there is no way to retreat and no rear, once the battleship is damaged, there is no chance to withdraw from the battlefield, and then it will be completely destroyed by the Heavenly Demons.
There are many human warriors on the warships that are crooked, sinking, exploding, and countless parts of the scattered city floating away. Most of them had already lost their bones in the explosion, and there was no trace of them, and some of the corpses were intact, floating with the wreckage, and then being hit by other parts, and their bodies were involuntarily knocked away.
Li Ye looked at these and didn't move.
Darkness was soon lost from the outside.
In the dark universe, not seeing the darkness is the same as being on the planets, not seeing the light.
In the distance, there were flames, burning wreckage, floating corpses and parts, in the distance, the bright light of the battleship's guns, brilliant and cold, and in the middle of these were all kinds of magic illusions of the Heavenly Demon Monks, and countless spiritual qi streamers.
The fiercest battlefield is also the most brutal purgatory.
The appearance of this picture means that the Heavenly Demon Army has entered the central area of the formation and is heading towards the core. In the ball formation, the core area is not large, and there are not many warships, it is like the marshal mansion in the city, if the city has fallen, the marshal's mansion will be quickly submerged.
The warships of the Azure government fleet have suffered nearly half of the casualties so far.
In the command cabin, the staff officers at the long table, the voices of reporting the battle damage to Ji Ningji became more and more heavy and sad, and later, many people couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although they have been on the battlefield for a long time, are accustomed to life and death, and have a tenacious heart, they still rarely encounter such large-scale battle damage.
The captains and soldiers of the battleships that were arranged in the middle and periphery of the ball formation knew that they would die, but no one flinched. When they knew that the battleship was about to be submerged by the tide of heavenly demons, the captain and the officers and soldiers would gather in the command cabin to salute the Azure System, the fleet commander Ji Ningji, the Azure civilization, and the siblings of their own race.
Their postures are tall and straight, their military salutes are hard and powerful, and their gaze is resolute and firm.
After they fed the order to the system to rush to the enemy group, detonate the battleship, and die with the Heavenly Demons, there was still hope in their eyes. They hope that after they die in the war, the human beings on the earth can continue, and they still have nostalgia in their eyes, nostalgia for the beautiful childhood, nostalgia for the neon of the long streets in the city, nostalgia for the splendid culture they once saw, and beautiful mountains and rivers that they have never seen.
Then, their javelin-like figures were engulfed by the raging waves of fire.
The last thing they left behind was the same words: "Azure is with us!"
Blue is civilization, a race, a home, a root, all glory and suffering, and their identity.
One by one, such pictures flashed alternately on the display terminal, and Ji Ningjiao couldn't help but burst into tears, his fists clenched, and his shoulders trembled.
"I went. Li Ye's voice fell, and the person had disappeared into the command cabin.
Ji Ningji wiped away a handful of tears, turned his head to look, and saw that outside the window, countless vigorous and swift figures converged in an instant in the chaotic and cruel battlefield. Then the blue light flashed, and they condensed into a huge streamer of arrows, like arrows off the string, and shot out.
