Chapter 679, Superior Fleet
The reason why the Zerg fleet on Dantao Star withdrew could not be that they were repelled by Xi Rui's troops.
It must be because Gu Hang's main force was discovered.
Gu Hang was not surprised by this.
In the Dantao Battle, his main fleet only showed up at the beginning of the battle. No matter how intense the battle was, a large number of ships did not appear.
The Zerg are not stupid, they are actually very smart. As time goes by, they naturally suspect that something is wrong.
They obviously strengthened their reconnaissance and expanded their reconnaissance range.
At the beginning, they may have felt that humans had some conspiracy to back up their plans and were worried that the fleet would directly cross the war zone and attack Reyaduches, so the main reconnaissance and exploration were concentrated on the line from the human-controlled area to Reyaduches.
Then, when no trace of the human main fleet was found, the search range was expanded, and finally Gu Hang and his troops were found in the north of the Queen Star Region.
At this time, Gu Hang's troops were not far from the Zerg reinforcements heading south.
After discovering Gu Hang's main fleet at this location, the Queen of Zerg immediately understood what Gu Hang was planning to do. The Zerg fleet drawn from Dan Tao was to protect the Zerg's support troops heading south.
And after seeing the Zerg's reconnaissance ships appear next to his fleet, Gu Hang was basically sure that he had been discovered.
He did not hesitate any more, nor did he deliberately cover up the fleet's actions, nor did he carefully bypass every place where the Zerg might exist. All ships were running at full speed.
The Zerg nest fleet heading south had received the information. Although they were not small in size, they did not want to fight a decisive battle with Gu Hang's main fleet with transport ships loaded with a large amount of biomass.
They began to change their routes, trying to avoid running into Gu Hang.
However, it was too late at this time.
The Zerg nest fleet was not invincible. Although they were large in number, those transport biological ships loaded with a large amount of biomass were not running fast.
They knew that they had to do something to delay time.
The fleet drawn from the Single Peach Campaign has already come north to join forces.
The best result is that the southbound Zerg Hive Fleet can circle around the main force of the Alliance in the northern part of the Queen Star Region for a month, which is enough for the two to join forces.
Although that may not necessarily lead to a sure win, it is better than fighting the main fleet of the Alliance separately.
However, the southbound Zerg Hive Fleet ultimately failed to join forces with the northbound support force. On the fifty-third day after the outbreak of the Single Peach Campaign, they were still caught by Gu Hang on the Mud Dragon Star.
…
The large-scale naval battle with the Void Zerg gave Ye Lixia a very special experience.
Among the Zerg ships, there are also three types of ships, large, medium and small, according to their size. They certainly won't use "battleships", "cruisers" and "frigates" to divide them, but it does not prevent humans from naming the enemy in a way they are familiar with.
In this way, the most threatening of this southbound Zerg Hive Fleet are the nine "biological battleships".
These nine big things can be compared to nine ships between the level of human battleships and battlecruisers. They are a very terrifying force.
Earlier, the Alliance Fleet had to assemble in full force to compete. If they were divided, it would be difficult to win.
Moreover, Gu Hang had to use his psychic power.
But now, it is not necessary.
There are already three battleships under the command of Ye Lishia. Among them, the Iron Horse of the Retribution class was captured at the beginning; the Mengyang is the first Retribution class battleship produced by the Alliance. After years of construction, it finally arrived at the front line.
The name was also taken from the capital of the Menghe Star Region to highlight the united front.
In addition to these two Retribution-class ships, there is another battleship, the Jinguan, and the Emperor-class battleship-also captured spoils.
In addition, there are two Zhuge-class aircraft carriers, the Eagle Horse and the Proud Fang. The former is also an old ship, and the latter is the second aircraft carrier built by the Alliance, which was sent to the front line with the Mengyang.
These are five giant ships.
In addition, there are two Holy Grail-class battlecruisers and five Dragon Snake-class battlecruisers.
Among these seven battlecruisers, four were sent to the front line immediately after they were completed, and arrived with the Mengyang.
Adding up to twelve giant ships, the fleet strength at Ye Lishia's disposal is already enough to form an advantage over the hive fleet in front of her.
The battle scene is also quite special.
So far, Ye Lishia has been through hundreds of battles - all with the Alliance fleet.
From the Iron Tooth War to the Greenskins, to the confrontation with the Fury, to the Iron Armor Rebels, to the Alfonzo Mechanicus... Whether it is the ships of humans or the Greenskin Orcs, they are all made of "iron" and hollow. In addition to the armor and hull strength, the importance of energy shields or void shields is also very strong.
But the insect biological ships don't have void shields or energy shields.
But that doesn't mean it's easy to fight.
The chitin armor on their outside is much thicker, harder, and tougher than steel. The inside of the bio-ship is more like solid than the "hollow" state of human, greenskin, or most alien ships. Several heavy artillery fired down, and it seemed that they hit the target, but the heavy artillery that can often cause fatal damage to human ships, but the holes opened in the bio-ship armor are quite small. Under the flying blood and flesh, a closer look at the observation panel shows that the wound is wriggling and shrinking, and the bleeding will soon stop.
It doesn't look like a ship, but more like a powerful creature the size of a starship - this is indeed the case.
However, relatively speaking, Ye Lixia still feels that it is easier to fight Zerg bio-ships with ships of the same level.
It's not that the opponent is weak, but it doesn't burn your brain.
There is no need to rack your brains to think of ways to break through the void shield, and the "fist to flesh" bombardment will be done.
Especially when the strength of one's own fleet is higher than that of the other, the fleet should maintain a good formation, deal with the swarming bugs trying to board the ship, and then destroy all these biological ships one by one.
It's so simple to fight, if you are strong enough, you will win, no more fancy.
However, Ye Lixia also has something to worry about.
"Has Commander Gu not said anything yet?" she asked the adjutant.
"Not yet."
Ye Lixia bit her lip lightly, but could only say: "Tell me as soon as there is news."
"Understood."
She turned her attention back to the battlefield where the situation was still going well, but she knew that the key to victory was actually with Gu Hang.
Her husband, her commander, was fighting hard in the psychic field.
There seemed to be four neuroprotozoa called "brainworm tyrants" in the opponent's ships, which had alpha-level psychic strength equivalent to that of humans.
