Both sides devoted a lot of enthusiasm to this battle. After all, this was the first time in the world of cultivation that such a large-scale battle had occurred in so many years.
One side used Zhang Liang's plan, and the other side naturally had a corresponding ladder to cross the wall. The duel between the two sides made this battle leave a heavy mark in the history of the world of cultivation.
However, at this time, neither side knows the other side's true combat intentions, and they are still proceeding cautiously according to each other's steps.
Xiao Kaitian followed the 30,000 Shu army and took the lead in arriving at the gas giant planet upstream. Facing a heavily defended node, the Shu army chose to form a formation.
After that, Xiao Kaitian, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun went to the front line together.
A huge gas giant planet can be seen in the distance, with a gray dust zone in the middle. Near the giant planet, a huge man-made building in the shape of an inverted cone stands, which is the military fortress of the Wei State.
The bottom side of the cone is facing Xiao Kaitian, and the entire surface is convex. It can be vaguely seen that the metal is slowly flowing.
"Liquid metal?" Xiao Kaitian frowned: "If it's liquid metal, it can repair itself after being hit. It seems that the other party is well prepared."
"There should be defensive attack weapons at the back," Guan Yu rubbed his eyebrows: "It is a node that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Mr. Xiao, why don't you let the sergeants attack in advance to test it out."
Xiao Kaitian shook his head: "It's just a waste of troops, but we can let my Heron mecha team try to attack from a distance, and we can know the strength of the enemy."
The attack plan was quickly finalized. Among the 6,000 troops brought by Xiao Kaitian, 3,000 mechas were Heron troops, which could conduct long-range live ammunition attacks.
The Shu army was at the forefront, forming a circular defensive array. After Xiao Kaitian deployed the Heron team, he gave an order, and three thousand missiles with T-value acceleration roared towards the enemy's fortress.
This was the first shot of the battle in the Summer Solstice Star Territory.
"Boom, boom, boom -" The missiles landed on the bottom surface of the inverted cone one after another, bursting out clusters of sparks. The concentrated attack of three thousand missiles was so powerful that even a giant interstellar battleship could not withstand it.
As the flames of the explosion gradually dissipated, the remaining images gradually became clearer. After a period of squirming, the liquid metal began to repair itself on the pitted military fortress.
"Is it really a troublesome existence?" Even Zhang Fei, who has always been known for his bravery, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "If we attack by force? We will suffer heavy losses."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black mecha team appeared around the military fortress opposite, surrounding the fortress.
"The black body is the symbol of Wei Jun, one of the famous tiger ministers of the Wei Kingdom." Zhang Fei's eyes shone brightly: "How about I organize a team and fight in person!"
"Nonsense!"
"It can be organized?" Different from Guan Yu's decision, Xiao Kaitian held his chin and thought: "Can it be organized? The number should be controlled at about a thousand? But it needs to be a death squad, and each soldier participating in the battle should be promised a reward of 50,000 T-value.
"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were also people who had led soldiers all their lives, and they were accustomed to being rewarded on the eve of daily battles. But when they heard Xiao Kaitian's words, they were all shocked. A T value of fifty thousand? It is equivalent to ten future years for an ordinary sergeant.
The amount of income that usually comes after a victory? The amount that only commander-level sergeants can get, Xiao Kaitian casually opened it.
Sure enough, Future Exploration has abundant resources as rumored!
While the three of them were sighing, another report came from the front: "The surface of the enemy fortress has changed, and a heat source reaction has been detected. It is estimated to be a large-caliber plasma cannon."
The four people turned around and saw that at the bottom of the inverted cone, the entire arc surface lit up, and soon a huge beam of plasma shot out, heading straight towards the legion here.
"The whole army avoids, everyone disperses!"
The assembled Shu mecha army took evasive measures one after another, and a dozen interstellar battleships also flew away from their original positions. This beam of light passed through the Shu position and disappeared into the starry sky.
This kind of large-scale attack weapon has no effect against highly mobile mechas. It can at best serve as a deterrent. But if Xiao Kaitian organizes an army to carry out a frontal attack, he has to consider its power. After all, it is
The cannons were bombarded, and no matter how powerful the mecha was, they couldn't resist it.
A round of tentative attacks against each other showed that both sides were cautious about this battle. Xiao Kaitian stared at the fortress: "It seems that this fortress should be a product of the previous warship era."
"Yes," a hint of excitement flashed across Guan Yu's face: "As the main means of attack, behemoths were very popular military weapons during the battle against space-time beasts, but after the appearance of the Soul Mecha, they gradually declined."
"Mr. Xiao, how about I lead the troops to attack in a wave?" Zhang Fei was still eager to challenge.
"How can I allow you all to take this risk?" Xiao Kaitian smiled and shook his head and refused: "If this battle is to be fought, it should be fought by my future exploration monks, but..." He paused as he spoke.
Guan Yu and the other two people all looked over and said, "Is there any article in this?"
"Cao Cao's formation is not small," Xiao Kaitian mused: "But it seems to me that he has no intention of completely holding on to the fortress."
"I think their purpose of strengthening the defense of the fortress is more to lure us into attacking the fortress and then occupying it."
This was a very strange statement. Guan Yu and others looked at each other: "Mr. Xiao, what you mean is...Cao Cao intends for us to attack the fortress and then occupy it?"
"This is my preliminary judgment. I will deduce it in detail and send me the data of the star field again." Xiao Kaitian is rarely so cautious. Even he secretly admires him. He is worthy of being an ancient man with a profound foundation.
In Xiu Three Kingdoms, the formations are very challenging.
The group returned to the command room of the main battleship again. Guan Yu handed over the crystal piece that recorded the data. After Xiao Kaitian's divine source was activated, he stared at the crystal screen intently.
Time passed by minute by second, but Xiao Kaitian was not impatient, he just zoomed in and out of the star field map over and over again.
Guan Yu and the others did not dare to breathe. They just stood behind Xiao Kaitian with their hands lowered. After a long time, they heard Xiao Kaitian murmuring: "It should be like this."
"Mr. Xiao..."
"Well, I'm sorry to spend some time analyzing," Xiao Kaitian stood up and turned the crystal screen to face the three people: "Just as I worried, Cao Cao's purpose of setting up such a formation is to lure us to participate in the node.
Battle."
"Not to mention the military power required to capture the node, the problem is that after it is captured, our army will actually have a stronghold, and there is a possibility that this stronghold can be recaptured."
"Once we are recaptured, we will become the only army in the enemy's sack. Such a result is definitely the progress that Cao Cao hopes for."
