Chapter 1681 A fly in the ointment
The problem with the teleportation of more than ten Asuras was not that the distance could not be further, but that the positioning was not well controlled.
However, their lives ended here. The division-level ships launched another artillery attack, killing more than a dozen Ashuras.
Xiaohu was very careful to control the amount of ammunition, but he basically blasted them to pieces, and there were not many larger pieces left.
But at this time, the other two Sun Chaos were gradually approaching.
Behind the division-level ship, another sub-nest was still chasing it.
The flower scorpion made a judgment, "There is a connection between the two sub-nests... There may be other sub-nests nearby."
In fact, a secondary nest is not worth the team's serious attention.
However, Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and said, "Then let's practice some technical and tactical coordination."
There will only be more and more similar situations. It’s actually not bad to try your hand with these little guys.
The result of the attempt... was really unremarkable. Seven or eight Sun nests were destroyed one after another within half an hour.
Then the division-level ship took another ten minutes or so to blow up the two approaching sub-nests.
In the face of the powerful firepower of the division-level ships, this little battle is really not enough.
Even this was when Xiao Hu was holding back, and Feng Wangyi only shot out five or six black lines.
Because there is still a lack of tacit understanding between it and the small lake.
Two different control systems will result in both sides focusing fire on one nest.
So Qu Jianlei simply made a qualitative arrangement for it - from now on the secondary nest will be your target!
Just as he was talking about the secondary nest, this guy appeared. When he approached, he released many lower-level nests.
However, this was of no avail and the battle ended after two hours.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the starship continued its voyage. Qu Jianlei gathered everyone together for a post-war summary meeting.
This battle was far from difficult, but it still exposed some problems, and he felt it necessary to communicate.
Qu Jianlei only pointed out one thing: this battle was not Asura's true level - the secondary nest was not so easy to fight.
The reason why everyone played so easily was that the opponent made a basic mistake: using the tactic of adding fuel to the fire.
This mistake was not made by Asura on his own initiative, but because their combat power was too spread out when they were stationed in this area.
If the secondary nest and the four sub-nests launch an attack at the same time, the power will definitely not be bad.
Of course, even if that were the case, Asura would not be able to escape the fate of defeat, but victory for his side would not be so easy to achieve.
Qu Jianlei did not deny the efforts of his comrades, he just said that we should not underestimate the power of the nest because of this battle.
In short, it is a timely reminder so that everyone will not become arrogant because of this.
As for the specific details of improvement, it is up to everyone to put forward their own suggestions.
The members of Digital Phantom have become accustomed to the post-war summary meetings held by the boss.
They really had no interest in doing this before. Isn't the battle of the awakened all about using force to overcome cleverness?
Even the Imperial military will summarize various star wars rules, but not all members of the army will participate in the discussion.
What's the point of listening to the advice of those grassroots officers and soldiers? Do you really think that military staff are just there to eat and do nothing?
However, since Qu Jianlei insisted on doing so, everyone was willing to give the boss some face.
However, after several post-war summary meetings, the team members unexpectedly discovered that the effect was really good.
Amid the lively discussions, some quite novel ideas and suggestions would occasionally emerge.
Qu Jianlei didn't find it strange at all, because the post-war summary meeting was originally the magic weapon for a certain powerful army to win.
Never underestimate the wisdom of the people!
But he couldn't say it well. This was a case of three cobblers being better than one Zhuge Liang, so he called it a brainstorming session.
Despite their paranoid arrogance, they all admitted that this method was good and later often took the initiative to speak up.
This time was no exception. He thought of a suggestion and was afraid that someone else would steal his idea, so he was the first to speak up.
Hualei's eyes were broadened by what she saw.
She has already determined that the man with Jing Yuexin is the backbone of the team, and she is a little disappointed at his youth.
But at the post-war review meeting, she found it really new—the federal army did not have such an operation.
But the first person to speak proactively was actually the one above the Most High!
Hua Lei remembered very well that this man rarely even looked people in the eye, but he would never show mercy when he attacked.
This is the person who actually took the initiative to talk about his experience, and his attitude was quite positive.
So there is something really subtle about the way this digital phantom acts.
Over the next half month, they encountered the nest three more times.
However, the division-level ships did not continue fighting, but took the initiative to bypass them.
Only when facing those front-line nests that are pursuing them relentlessly will they make moderate counterattacks, but they will not engage in a fight.
Simply put, the division-class ships have a giant image but a light and elegant style.
Finally, more than a month after they entered the Asura territory, they were blocked by three secondary nests.
A mother nest has at most four or five secondary nests, but a brood nest can have as many as ten or more.
The fact that three sub-nests can gather together to encircle the team definitely shows the will of the mother nest.
"It's obviously a well-planned plan!" The paranoid man couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to... have a fight!"
However, they really couldn't fight because everyone had discussed the battle plan before.
Qu Jianlei thinks that charging forward recklessly and fighting all the way is fun enough, but it is a mindless fun!
Let’s not talk about whether there is enough ammunition, let’s just talk about one thing...what are we doing here?
Fighting must help achieve certain goals, only then it is useful, otherwise it is useless!
The main purpose of their visit is to explore the mystery of the space barrier.
In order to prevent people from discovering their destination, they did not travel in a straight line.
At this moment, the division-class ship is still more than two months away from the Link Nebula.
At this time, if we fight a big battle, or even... destroy a mother nest, it would be really cool.
But doing so would inevitably attract Asura's close attention, so what should be done with the rest of the trip?
Qu Jianlei's suggestion won the support of everyone, especially Yi He and Jiao Daoren.
They are both genuine cultivators, so naturally they want to return to their hometown where the spiritual energy is abundant, but now they are both... inhuman beings!
Of course, there are also people who are unwilling to accept this, like the paranoid people today.
In short, the battle plan has been formulated. Even if we are ambushed at this moment, we can just run away.
Unfortunately, they all planned to retreat, but Ashura refused to cooperate.
Seeing that the division-level ship was trying to escape, the three sub-nests chased after it directly and arranged a number of nests to block it.
Qu Jianlei and the others stuck to their original intention and fled regardless of anything, only attacking those front station nests that were chasing too close.
They had to escape from pursuit and attack at the same time, which was extremely difficult.
After four or five days, they had already pursued a large number of nests behind them, which were densely packed.
In front of them, some nests would appear from time to time, and they could only continue to change direction to escape.
But after running for another two days, Qu Jianlei felt something was wrong.
So he secretly asked Jiao Daoren, "How is Asura's combat quality and ability to plan the overall situation?"
"Haha," the snake said, "You finally remembered to ask me?"
Why are you gloating? Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes and said, "I didn't stop anyone from speaking, and I also invited everyone to give suggestions."
He was a little annoyed. "If you won't tell me unless I ask you in person, then just pretend I didn't ask."
"It's just a joke," the snake said, "Ashura's strategic level is average, not too strong but not too bad..."
"But the current blockade doesn't seem normal. It seems to be inducing us to change direction. I thought you would notice it earlier."
"I gradually felt something was wrong," Qu Jianlei realized that he had misunderstood the other party.
So he apologized decisively, "I'm sorry, senior, I'm not as talented as you thought, I disappoint you."
"I told you it was just a joke," Jiao Dao Ren replied, "Anyway, we have to avoid the obstructing nest every time, which is not a good thing."
"I understand," Qu Jianlei nodded, thinking that he was indeed a veteran in the martial arts world. "The situation of war is unpredictable, and the shape of water is unpredictable. It is indeed true."
So in the next few days, the division-level ships changed their plan to deal with the interception, sometimes dodging and sometimes passing by.
There was even one time when a division-level ship destroyed the blocking nest with ease and sailed away.
The changes in the team before and after made Asura a little confused, and even the pursuers seemed to have differences of opinion.
Some nests were slower, some were off to the side, and some seemed to leave directly.
Qu Jianlei had some feeling, but he wasn't very sure.
So on the third day, the division-level ship simply released two regiment-level ships and four battalion-level ships, and turned around to face the many Asura nests.
The battle started quickly and ended quickly, taking an hour and a half in total.
Qu Jianlei and his men didn't even completely wipe out the enemy, they just destroyed all four secondary nests.
They also completely destroyed nine of the twelve sub-nests, and then the fleet sailed away.
In this battle, Feng Wangxi was forbidden to take action, and Qu Jianlei's side also lost a regimental-level ship and two battalion-level ships.
They didn't have many federal warships to begin with, and this made them even more stretched.
But the result was still good. Their counterattack completely broke up the Asura nest behind them.
Unfortunately, the only drawback was that as they headed deeper into space, there were still a few Asura nests hanging in the distance behind them.
In the end, Qu Jianlei and his men consumed another battalion-level ship and completely dealt with the ghosts behind them.
War is about fighting the economy. They paid a heavy price just to get out of it.
Unfortunately, less than a day after leaving this area, they encountered Asura's lair again.
Obviously, the other party was unlikely to be waiting for them, because Qu Jianlei didn't even know what his route was.
But one thing is certain, as long as they continue to move towards the Link Nebula, they will encounter more and more Ashuras.
