Even if only the Violet's attack was effective, and he was not afraid of the Zerg's cannon bug counterattack, he would still persist, hoping that reinforcements would come soon.
It had only been less than half an hour since Gu Bowen discovered that the fleet was surrounded by Zerg and sent a message back to the headquarters asking for reinforcements. Even if the reinforcements were coming at super-light speed, they would not be able to come immediately. They would have to resist for at least a while.
Everyone on the Violet was rejoicing at first. The battleship's gunfire killed many Zerg. After those Star Thief battleships opened fire, hey! Everyone sighed inwardly. It cannot be said that it is ineffective, but it is far inferior to the Violet.
Sun Liu was about to say something, but hesitated. Seeing that some Star Thief warships were beginning to show damage, he finally said: "Mr. Zhu, why don't we give up long-range attacks! Our fleet lacks firepower and has been attacked by the Zerg for a long time. I definitely can’t bear it.”
Zhu Shunming frowned, "If you hold on a little longer, Qingqing and Bai Qian are outside and should be able to block it."
Back then, the two girls were able to fight in and out of the sea of insects. Su Qing had already told them that her strength would not be exposed too much for the time being, and that Bai Qian would be pushed out first, and she would be revealed at the critical moment.
Everyone had a good discussion, but they never expected that the first stop would be surrounded by Zerg, and the few who could fight went to fight.
With Su Qingbaiqian and the mecha regiment of the First Army, the fleet can break through, but the Star Thief warships in such a cold night will definitely suffer heavy losses. During the planet battle, many Star Thieves died.
The first army can break through, but the Star Thief warships cannot keep up with the team. If they are placed in the middle of the team, they will affect the speed. If they are placed at the end, they will easily fall behind.
Su Qing was already very concerned about the First Army. She told them that King Insects had appeared and warned them in advance that the remaining fleet in the Starry Sky was surrounded by the Insects. Otherwise, the First Army would suffer even greater losses. No matter how much, she would not dare to intervene. She was afraid that she would be too much. Intervention, on the contrary, affects the established destiny of mankind. She cannot bear the responsibility for the cause and effect of the entire mankind.
Sun Liu shook his head, trying to suppress his excitement.
"Mr. Zhu, what I mean is that since our attack can't kill a few Zerg, and the opponent's shield bugs have high defense, if we kill a few, there are still hundreds or thousands of them. It doesn't make much sense to kill the shield bugs. , look at the Zerg fighting with us on the battlefield, which requires close combat to kill, so if we continue to launch, it is also a waste of energy."
Zhu Shunming looked at him. Ever since the Black Eagle Star Pirates boarded the Violet, Zhu Shunming had strictly monitored them, fearing that they would do something outrageous;
Unexpectedly, the star thief was quite sensible. He obeyed his orders and got along well with the people on the farm. His aggressiveness gradually disappeared and he became more and more humane, which made him feel at ease.
With Su Qing frightening them, whoever dares to provoke the people on the Violet will definitely end up miserable.
Sun Liu had a quick mind and was able to assess the situation. He was very helpful when attacking the Star Pirates' base and gathering prisoners.
In the beginning, Leng Ye was short of manpower, so Sun Liu helped manage it. Later, including when he came into contact with many star thief prisoners, Su Qing gave full authority to Sun Liu;
One is that they really don't have spare manpower, and the other is that Leng Ye's mercenaries can't suppress the star thieves. It's better to just pilot the Leng Ye to avoid causing trouble for themselves.
Zhu Shunming used to be a captain who drove a cargo spaceship. He had little experience in piloting a battleship, let alone commanding a fleet. Now he can only let the battleship cannon fire at the Zerg. What else would he do?
Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and Zhu Shunming said helplessly:
"Sun Liu, I know what you are saying, but it would be good to reduce the pressure on the army. We cannot do nothing."
Sun Liu: "Mr. Zhu, let me and my brothers fly starfighters near the battleship to attack the nearby Zerg. That may be more effective than the battleship cannon."
Zhu Shunming directly objected, "No, that is too dangerous. You have no experience in flying fighter planes, and you will die if you go out. It is better to shoot from the fortress on the battleship. Alas! In fact, it won't have much effect."
Starfighters are no more easy to learn than mecha masters. They also require talent and hard work. Not everyone can pass the piloting qualification. Basic flight uses autopilot, and combat still requires manual piloting.
As a conventional weapon of the army, warships can not only fire warship cannons, but also have independent military fortresses installed on the warships. There are weapons that can shoot outwards. They are mostly used as the last line of defense during boarding battles.
If Zhu Shunming hadn't seen that the sergeant's fortress on the First Army battleship was open, he wouldn't have remembered that it was also on the Violet.
Sun Liu thought for a moment and said without giving up, "Then let's try both methods. The Violet's defense is very strong. It should be fine if we don't take out the protective shield. We are not afraid of death. Since we were on the Violet, we have I feel like I'm living like a human being, so many soldiers are fighting and we can't just watch, it makes my heart feel like it's burning."
Sun Liu has always been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Every time he goes out to rob, he never dares to rush in front. If it weren't for his good brains, the little boss who stayed behind wouldn't be able to get in. But during this period on the Violet, he It felt surprisingly refreshing.
Following Su Qing's invincibility, he killed every major star thief group and managed nearly 100,000 star thief groups. It was so majestic. This was the highlight of Sun Liu's life.
Fighting in the void made him doubt the meaning of life for the first time. Why do people live? Isn't it to live well and enjoy life?
Then why did those soldiers rush forward even though they knew they would die? The passing of fresh lives shocked him. He felt that he had to do something?
The brothers all looked excited and asked him to think of a solution.
The Violet began to attack, making him full of hope. Unfortunately, the performance of the Star Thief battleship was uneven, but it was not helping. It was in danger itself. What should I do?
Seeing the formation of the First Army, he suddenly had an idea. They could also go out to fight. As long as they did not leave the range of the battleship, they could attack the nearby Zerg, and the armed fortress on the battleship could also be used.
The commander of the First Army uses a progressive fighting method like that, and they can try it too.
Zhu Shunming did not speak, because there were not enough manpower on the battleship. No one was left to fight in the interstellar, and all those who could fight were gone.
A warship like the Violet has a full complement of at least 2,000 people. Now all the people combined are less than 500. There are quite a lot of people on those Star Thief warships. Zhu Shunming reminded them, but no one dared to move.
He knew that those star thieves would not listen to him. They were only afraid of Su Qing and Bai Qian. Zhu Shunming was surprised to take the initiative to attack the Zerg together.
Unexpectedly, Sun Liu actually offered to fight outside. He thought about it, but still didn't agree.
"No, you don't have any experience in flying fighter planes. If you go out, you will die. Once the Zerg breaks through the battle line and starts attacking the battleship, you will be a target. It is not appropriate to be a Jedi. It is safer to enter the battleship fortress. If there is danger, you can retreat into the battleship at any time. Abandon the fortress directly, we cannot compete with the First Army, they are the ace army of the empire."
Sun Liu mustered up the courage. He originally wanted to go out and give it a try with a certain death mentality, but when Zhu Shunming told him, he decided to keep it simple.
Fighting against the Zerg is not about robbing caravans. When the star thieves robbed, they first dispatched fighter planes and mechas, coupled with a barrage of bombardment from battleship cannons, destroying the power of the opponent's spacecraft, and killing people and looting goods inside the spacecraft.
If you encounter someone protected by mercenaries, you have to fight in the interstellar. Star thieves are incomparable to the regular army, but they are better than the caravan. If you use this method, you will most likely succeed. If you encounter a tough situation, the mercenaries hired by the other party will be more powerful. If it is powerful, they will retreat decisively.
