When it reached a certain distance from the human battle line, the golden top of the pyramid began to open like petals, and the ship's hull moved gracefully above the pyramid. At the same time, the obelisk at the bottom emitted energy, and the roar rose to a harsh, sharp-like tone.
a general cry,
Along with a series of ominous green flashes, countless metal aliens appeared. They were arranged in a square array, with a strange airship floating above. There seemed to be a figure who seemed to be a commander standing on top holding a halberd. There were also various wars.
There are many types of machinery, large and small, from spiders to scorpions everywhere.
What followed was a bitter battle, a bloody battle that Kessler could never imagine without experiencing it personally...
As the attacker, under the command of the Sixth Company Commander of the White Templar, Spabad, the human troops took the lead in attacking. More firepower was thrown at the obelisks and the alien phalanx that had been lined up, but the other side responded faster.
From the tops of those pyramids, streaks of light that were like needles shot out, flashing continuously. The artillery far behind was immediately hit, and continuous explosions were set off behind the human positions, which was heart-shaking.
But the really bad situation was only known to the artillerymen. Before they realized what was happening, the sweeping energy cut the basilisks and manticores in half with astonishing accuracy.
, but this is not over yet. Just when the self-propelled artillery exploded because the ammunition was ignited, and the artillerymen were struggling to clean up the mess, the enemy's attack was far from stopping——
The commanders of the Necrons are not stupid. Although they despise the technology of these flesh-and-blood creatures, they also know that the opponent's firepower is fierce enough and deserves corresponding strategies.
As the ground in the distance silently collapsed into pits, a large number of wingless poisonous insects flew out with a buzzing sound and quickly pounced on the already messed up artillery positions. It was not until the enemy approached that the artillerymen were shocked to find themselves above their heads.
A swarm of bizarre, multi-segmented mechanical insects, the size of adults. These tomb stinging insects drive invisible wings and launch an onslaught, shredding armored vehicles with cutting beams and cutting open hands with blade-like limbs and charged stings.
The Necron commanders, who had no time to resist, apparently believed that such flying units were enough to deal with human ground forces, while the more deadly Night Scythes were sent to destroy the enemy's air force.
And this is not the worst moment. The more terrifying enemy comes from the underground that the artillerymen have never thought of. Huge, fast arthropod-like structures emerge directly from their feet, targeting the rear this time.
The strangulation of long-range power reached its climax. The ghosts in the tomb who carried out the killing orders moved forward at a dizzying speed and could freely shuttle through solid objects. Those self-propelled artillery and other weapons that tried to move in a hurry were directly torn apart and thrown away by these killing machines.
, there is no better way to deal with the light weapons in the hands of the artillerymen.
But fortunately, the command level already has a plan for this. With the help of the enemy weapon intelligence at hand, the Space Marine commanders have deduced the possibility that the enemy will use a mechanical body capable of phase movement to attack the artillery position, so they deployed strategies in advance.
——Although this reaction mechanism is still slower than the enemy's execution speed.
The Archaeopteryx and Dragon Wing soldiers, who had been on standby in the hidden cargo-type hangar, mobilized collectively, flying close to the ground and swarming towards the structures attacking the artillery positions like dark clouds.
The basis for this strategy is the common weakness of all Necron structures that can phase shift. For example, each phase shift of the Tomb Ghosts requires a long charging time and can only exist in a biphasic state for a limited time.
These vanguard artillery were really cannon fodder to trap them. Although the Necrontyr units could be reorganized and resurrected, this place was far away from the front line, and their scarabs could not recover the debris and energy at all, so they were lost, that is, completely lost.
This is the countermeasure in the chess game, using part of the artillery force to counteract the extremely threatening structures with phase movement capabilities of the Necrons.
This is a good deal for humans.
Therefore, this group of troops was specially formed to hunt and kill structures. The Dragon Wing Soldiers have all undergone modifications to the Sky Diver module - this transformation has strengthened the Dragon Wing Soldiers' low-altitude dogfighting capabilities. Their main weapons are flechette carbines.
, this kind of weapon that fires a large number of ultra-high-speed micro-rockets is almost impossible to dodge. At the same time, their enhanced intelligent computing system allows them to accurately calculate the enemy's movement trajectory. It is very suitable for hunting high-speed, low-altitude small targets. It is also equipped with a
Arc grenade, its powerful electromagnetic field can paralyze the enemy's war machine.
While the Sky Divers were quickly clearing the Tomb Stinging Insects, Archaeopteryx's ground bombardment blaster began to circle and attack those Tomb Ghosts and Tomb Divers that could not phase maneuver in a short period of time. It could carry a powerful geomagnetic bomb.
, one is enough to paralyze the huge Tomb Ghost, and the firepower provided by the four heavy explosive bombs can also cause effective damage to them.
In an instant, there was lightning and thunder, and fire was everywhere. The two sides were strangled together. The broken-winged Skitarii and structure fragments continued to fall, while the even larger tomb structure continued to flee, roll, and explode into countless pieces under the bombardment of Archaeopteryx.
fragments.
Such battles took place in several directions in Scorch Oven City.
The Necron Lords finally realized that they needed more powerful air power, but when they tried to recall the Night Scythes, they discovered one thing - the Night Scythes plunged into the dense air while chasing those "high-speed fighters"
In the laser defense network, and those lasers were emitted by heavy laser arrays, it directly caused the loss of two-thirds of the Dynasty's Night Scythe troops, and the rest had to face human fighters that were more than a hundred times their number.
In this situation, it became unrealistic to recall the Night Scythes, and they had to rely on existing ground forces to deal with the human artillery.
The remaining human artillery also took the opportunity to withdraw from their positions, but their battle was not over. The first batch of artillery put into combat was 20,000 pieces, mainly basilisks and a small number of manticores. After the Necron attack, there were still some
There are less than 3,000 artillery pieces, but this expedition carried more than 100,000 artillery pieces. The second batch of artillery pieces put into combat is the main force. They have nearly 60,000 pieces. In addition to the basilisk, there are also a large number of gryphon heavy-duty artillery pieces.
Artillery fire, Medusa siege tanks, and the remaining artillery quickly joined the second batch of artillery to establish new positions.
At the same time, the enemy's infantry also began to move slowly and uniformly, and the Gauss weapons in their hands also emitted a cold and deadly light...
