Chapter 855: The Universe is Burning (Part 2)
The battle for Ankachi VIII's orbit has reached a fever pitch.
Although the orcs are much inferior to humans in overall orbital defense strength, and even the number of ground-based anti-orbital artillery is seriously insufficient, they are still trying their best to compete with humans for orbit.
Or, they were simply resisting.
Even if you know there is no way to win, you still have to try your best to cause as much trouble as possible to humans.
Judging from the sacrifice ratio, it is quite uneconomical for the greenskins.
But so what?
Gu Hang could tell that Broken Bone was trying to delay time.
To put it bluntly, time is indeed on the side of the greenskins.
The longer it drags on, the more greenskins will be born on the many planets occupied by greenskins in Omgeria. The number they lost in the previous war will be quickly replenished.
If time drags on for a few months and Gu Hang fails to capture Ankachi VIII, then on this planet, and even in various places in the Ohm and Lia star field, those orcs will never be killed out. And not only in terms of numbers, but also because of the enhancement of the waaagh force field, individual strength and the more shocking greenskin technology brought by "An Xunsi", an increasingly powerful orc army will be armed.
At that time, the difficulty of conquering Ankachi VIII will increase further.
At the same time, it seems that we can still block the entire galaxy perfectly, so that the orc troops from other places cannot be reinforced. But by that time, I am afraid that we will not be able to block it.
In this context, Bonebreaker chose a very smart tactic: he did not hesitate to invest his strength just because of the current disadvantage in terms of military strength. On the contrary, he took on higher casualties and a greater exchange ratio, and insisted on repeatedly fighting with the human army in the orbit of the planet where the greenskins had no advantage at all.
Even if it means using a suicidal rocket ship, it would be worth it.
Those rocket ships, with their reckless fighting style, low cost, and ultra-fast manufacturing speed, did cause a lot of trouble to the human vanguard fleet.
The first wave of attack was almost unsuccessful.
But Gu Hang had no expression on his face, and without hesitation or pause, he ordered the next attack.
There was no hesitation, just go all out.
Two Queens of Glory took the lead, followed by twelve Emperor-class and Retaliation-class battleships, and thousands of cruisers and frigates. In an instant, a huge firepower position was formed, and it descended directly into the orbit of Ankachi VIII.
This distance is already very dangerous. The firepower of human warships can be delivered to the ground without restraint, but at the same time, the firepower from the ground can also threaten the warships within the orbit.
But it is obvious that Gu Hang, who made this decision, is no longer afraid of anything.
The greenskins’ trump cards have almost been revealed.
The anti-orbital firepower fired fiercely from the ground was really weak compared to the huge size of the human fleet; the suicide rocket ships that repelled the first wave of human attacks were as dense as locusts, but the number of human warships was not much different from that of a locust swarm.
The firepower of the frigates and destroyers was focused on destroying the suicide rockets flying up, while also intercepting the firepower coming from the ground.
Ships larger than cruisers will attack the surface.
These included two Queens of Glory and the Extinction Order weapons dropped from the starship.
If Ankachi VIII could be destroyed with the Extermination Order weapon, it would be a great deal - no matter how many Extermination Orders it takes, or how high the manufacturing cost of the Extermination Order weapon is, as long as it succeeds, it would be a profit compared to the results of the battle and the strategic value.
Unfortunately, the extermination order did not work.
The Greenskins' interception methods were actually quite rare, but they were very accurate. The Extermination Orders were definitely intercepted accurately, and even the most terrifying Z-class cannons fired from the Queen of Glory were mostly intercepted. After three rounds of bombing, only one Z-class cannon finally landed.
To have such a high interception efficiency, Gu Hang believed that the Bone Crusher King took action personally.
Gu Hang had no doubt that he could identify which of the bombardments posed the greatest threat to the planet. And the accuracy of the green anti-orbital cannons linked by broken bones would become ridiculous.
This was something Gu Hang was a little helpless about.
An opponent like Bonebreaker has the ability to change the situation of an Apocalypse battle single-handedly.
Just like Gu Hang himself, it’s the same.
He also exerted his strength.
Even though the heaviest firepower attack was intercepted, the remaining hits still caused horrific casualties, hitting many vital points of the green-skinned orcs on the surface.
The interception carried out by the Bone Crusher King is extremely accurate. Isn’t the orbital bombing of humans accurate?
With Gu Hang's support, it is still very accurate!
In addition, this also included the contribution of Chen Yanqing, who had died in battle earlier.
His heroic spirit was called out during the battle.
He stood in the void, calling out to the psychic beacon he had left in the planet's orbit and on the planet's surface before his death.
Gu Hang, leading many storm mages, broke through the energy fluctuations around the planet's surface through the observation link he had constructed during his lifetime and called out at this moment. The green halo of the waagh force field pierced through the psychic vision, which would shrink to the top of the war fortress every seventeen minutes, and then radiate a ring-shaped shock wave in all directions - this was the evidence that Broken Bones was personally infusing energy into the front-line troops, projecting the defense layout structures of countless greenskins on the planet's surface onto the tactical screens of every starship participating in the ground attack.
The orbital strike command center corrected the landing points of the light spear array, macro cannon array, and missile bombardment. Continuous, countless firepower crossed the atmosphere and accurately hit the marked strategic points one by one.
Some places are ground fortresses built by orcs, guarding the core transportation area; some places are corpse recycling stations, responsible for providing nutrients to the ecological park; some places are war equipment processing plants; some places are large garbage cities; some places are waagh energy relays...
The most focused attention is the greenskins' anti-orbital firepower position.
Bone Crusher can intercept the most threatening Extinction Order weapons and Z-class cannons, but can it intercept so much L-class and M-class firepower?
These greenskin strategic points were destroyed in the bombing.
Such fierce bombing caused the greenskin defense line, which covered an area of thousands of kilometers in radius, to become disorganized.
And this is the best time to land.
