"Commander, the left wing has been breached, and the right wing cannot hold on much longer."
"The leaders of each pirate group are sending orders to retreat!"
Sure enough, head-on confrontation is simply not possible.
After hearing the deputy's report, Liu Tao also shook his head.
But there aren't many other expressions, after all, this was to be expected from the beginning.
However, at the beginning, he thought that with the control of millions of pirate warships, the Scorpion Pirate Group could kill dozens or hundreds of Slayer warships.
But the result...
In less than 20 minutes, both wings of the army were already about to collapse.
During this period, the 1,300 main battleships of the Scorpion Pirates only managed to kill more than 6,000 self-disciplined Annihilator combat weapons and 3 Slayer battleships.
The gap with expectations...
Somewhat big.
"Instruct all pirate groups to stick to their respective fronts and kill anyone who steps back!"
"Yes, leader!"
Generally speaking, this is the time to retreat.
Even, disperse the troops to engage in guerrilla warfare, looking for opportunities to annihilate them one by one.
After all, the opponent only has a thousand battleships.
But Liu Tao, who knew the combat power of this civilization very well, knew that this was meaningless.
Except for the Scorpion Pirates, any other pirate group, even if they encounter a Slayer warship, will only be killed unilaterally.
Rather than die like that, it would be better to die in a more meaningful way.
for example...
Like now, becoming the cannon fodder of the Scorpion Pirates can buy Liu Tao more time and opportunities to kill more warships and combat weapons of mechanical civilization.
As for the Scorpion Pirates.
Liu Tao naturally understood that with 300 Pangu-class ships and 1,000 Zhurong-II ships, it was impossible to defeat the fleet of mechanical civilization.
The reason why they didn't leave was just that they wanted to use the cannon fodder from other pirate groups to kill more of the opponent's warships before leaving.
In this way, the subsequent nine-month battle can be easier.
------
After receiving the order from Liu Tao, all the pirate captains were a little angry.
Anyone can see that there is no way to fight, it is just like sending someone to death.
Looking at the tactical map, the right wing of the Pirate Alliance army has been completely broken through and plunged into chaos.
Mechanical civilization combat weapons with high speed and high maneuverability are constantly shuttling in the right wing array, firing a shot at a certain warship from time to time.
The warships of various pirate groups have no way to deal with these combat weapons.
Not to mention HI's main and secondary guns, even close-defense weapons can't keep up with their speed.
"Send code.17 to all battleships on the right wing of the fleet!"
"clear!"
"At the same time, order all the warships of the Scorpion Pirate Group to prepare to launch covering fire towards the right wing of the army, with maximum firepower!"
"Yes, leader!"
Since it is useless, then use your lives to contribute the last bit of value!
Soon, an encrypted instruction was sent through quantum transmission.
code.17.
One of the hidden backdoor programs embedded in the warships manufactured by the Scorpion Pirates.
Compared with code.11, which once paralyzed a battleship, code17 is a more extreme instruction, and its meaning is...
Self-destruct!
That's right, it's self-destruction.
Let the core energy system of the battleship be overloaded and then achieve the effect of self-destruction.
This kind of self-destruction will directly tear the entire battleship into pieces from the inside.
At this time, the entire fleet on the right wing was in complete chaos.
The crew members reported to their captains that they had lost control of the warship and found that the energy system was overloaded.
Although the problem was discovered immediately, unfortunately, there was not enough time for them to deal with the problem.
Soon, because the core energy system was overloaded and finally exceeded the critical point, each battleship exploded directly from the inside, turning into large and small debris and flying out in all directions.
You know, this is in the universe...
Therefore, there is no concept of these fragments flying a certain distance and then stopping.
Rather, it is like a bullet with no range limit. Unless it hits something, it will not slow down, deviate, or stop at all.
Just one spaceship, after self-destruction, formed thousands of fragments.
One can imagine what the scene would be like after the entire right-wing fleet, with more than 300,000 warships, self-destructed at the same time.
A large number of fragments covered almost the entire area, and they were all flying rapidly.
So, those self-disciplined annihilator combat weapons among them...
What will be the outcome?
Collision, constant collision.
There are so many broken pieces that it is impossible to completely avoid them.
Some of them were struck by combat weapons while traveling at high speed.
Some were hit by hits.
There are even some large fragments that collide together and then break into more small pieces, and these small pieces just cover the entire path of a certain combat weapon.
In short, violent collisions can be seen everywhere in the entire area!
In just a short period of time, there were already more than 10,000 autonomous annihilators in combat force...
Destroyed by impact!
Most of the remaining ones had been hit, but the damage was not too serious.
As for the ones that are intact, there may not even be 10% of them.
In fact, this tactic was what Liu Tao had thought about before setting off. He originally planned to test the reliability of this tactic after going to Balt.
Unexpectedly, this mechanical civilization left Balt and even invaded Sid.
Isn't this just delivered to your door?
Therefore, he has long been waiting for these combat weapons of mechanical civilization to rush into his fleet on both wings.
Because only then can the effect of this tactic be maximized.
As for how many people died in order to achieve this effect.
Liu Tao said, it’s none of my business, the person who died was not a member of the Scorpion Pirates.
In some aspects, this logic is really not much different from Jiang Xingchen's.
"Captain, according to the scans, we have destroyed a total of 13,739 combat weapons, and about 20,000 of the remaining ones have been completely paralyzed. The others have also reduced their speed to avoid accidental collisions."
"Very good, order all our warships to start taking action!"
"Yes, leader!"
The next moment, there were 300 Pangu-class battleships, 1,000 Zhurong II-type battleships, as well as the pirate groups attached to the Scorpions, and more than 100,000 fourth-level battleships.
Fired at the same time!
Directly covering a wide area.
No matter what you hit, it doesn't matter.
Even if it only hits fragments of wreckage, it will only create more fragments of wreckage.
It makes those combat weapons of mechanical civilization even more difficult to use.
At the same time, the probability of directly hitting those combat weapons is much higher than normal.
After all, this area full of debris completely restricted the speed and maneuverability of these combat weapons.
Plus they have no shields...
At this time, even the pirate groups attached to Liu Tao could hunt him down with only the energy weapons of the fourth-order civilization.
The entire right wing area was still a scene of unilateral slaughter.
However, the identities of the killer and the slaughtered were completely reversed at this moment.
