Chapter 216 A little trial of Tyranid ground battle
The War Council not only has representatives of various gene seeds, but also representatives of the navy, the Astra Militarum, the Inquisition, the Battle Sisters and other forces.
But they couldn't get in the conversation now. The multi-line thinking ability possessed by the Primaris Warriors gave them an innate advantage in strategic deployment, and they became the overall leader without any objection.
The current commander-in-chief is Captain Coriathius of the Fifth Company of the Ultramarines, and the Primaris Think Tank stands beside him to assist him in strategic deployment.
The Raven Guard's sub-regiments are working hard to detect the enemy's location. This is the key to the success or failure of the war. Until then, the Empire must focus on delaying.
The navy must conserve its strength to launch an assault on the enemy's core mothership in the future.
The pressure on the planet's army surged, and the Astartes troops were scattered across the planet like ordinary soldiers. Coriathius didn't care about the White Scars' "absence of duty", they always did, but the behavior of the Tyranid creatures puzzled him.
The Tyranid biological mothership has extremely thick defenses and is always in a state of growth.
The surrounding creatures continue to recycle the broken biological battleships to the mother ship. On the planet below, the biomass is thrown into a recycling pool filled with high-efficiency decomposition liquid, turned into nutrients, and continuously transported to the mother ship through the capillary tower tube.
The ground below was bombarded by artillery fire, and the creatures above were automatically repaired, forming a short-term balance.
The cannons of the Tyranid mothership pointing towards the ground have all been blown to pieces, but the strange thing is that the flying troops rarely attack the Astra Militarum positions. They don't seem to be in a hurry to quickly expand their territory.
On the contrary, Tyranid cysts (airdrop compartments) flew all over the sky, and after a short period of floating, they radiated to a large area. They were exploded by various defensive artillery fire in the air, and then the bugs fell freely to the ground, where they lived and died.
The Titan Legion did not attack for the time being, because the specialty of Alisas World 3 had to say hello to the enemy first.
Sentinel mechas and a large number of Chimera armored vehicles, mixed with various types of tanks supported by the empire, launched a steel torrent counterattack against the enemy. Among them, Baiscar's motorcycle team kept shuttling through the Iron Legion, checking for leaks and filling in the gaps. Engage in an obstacle course-type pest-killing operation.
This torrent presses towards the capillary tower tube.
The Tyranid Zerg finally started to get serious. Biophagos (throwing parasites) and Pyrozoans (artillery bugs) began to cover the knife bugs and gun bugs with fire. The Tyranid warriors landed and began to lead the low-level insect swarm in combat.
When facing the torrent of steel, the Tyranid warriors quickly evolved large thrusts and long machetes specifically designed to deal with metal armored vehicles. These are part of its body, which is equivalent to turning its own arms into cannons.
The hive tyrant in charge of this area does not like to fight in person, preferring to command armies in combat.
The battlefield turned into a meat grinder, with fierce battles between the Gargoyles and the Imperial Air Force. Occasionally, the White Scars on the Land Speeder would fly by, break into the enemy formation through the gaps in the Gargoyle formation, and guide the Imperial Air Force to attack.
Typhoon missiles and corrosive physalis were flying in the sky. The fire control lock fell into a brief chaos due to too many enemies, and then the primitive and violent missile machine spirit was completely controlled by itself.
The enemy reciprocated with courtesy. As the Chimera armored vehicle formation kept a certain distance from the Sentinel mechas due to speed, the Hive Tyrant ordered the Hive Guards to attack. These specialized bugs were covered with anti-artillery biological armor and had super huge chests. The cannon can easily smash crispy personnel carriers like the Chimera into smithereens.
Rows of Hive Guards began to carry out precise sniping in an orderly manner, blasting the incoming armored vehicles to pieces efficiently and cold-bloodedly, focusing their fire on the Leman Russ tanks first, because the Chimera used the anti-infantry weapon to defeat the Hive Guards. Armor takes a lot of time, and the bugs don't want to worry about these itchy things for the time being.
The Basilisk Artillery Tank quickly received a request for a change in artillery fire. When they turned the muzzle, the Tyranid attacked them from behind.
The Hive Tyrant is very aware of the power of these artillery, so it has tolerated it for so long and just asked the mothership to create a batch of predatory insects to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's rear.
Predator bugs are commonly known as snake bugs. They are good at digging into the ground and sneaking underground to launch attacks behind the enemy. They usually have six claws. As the war progresses, the hive mothership will be DIY-made according to the characteristics of the enemy.
With the help of the torrent of steel and the noise of artillery attacks, these early snakes successfully evaded the detection of the Astra Militarum and sneaked around the artillery positions.
They suddenly appeared from behind the cannon, startling the mortals.
The raid was successful. They emerged from between the artillery and subsequent artillery shell supply lines, rushed forward and tore apart several cannons. Their sharp claws tore apart the metal outer armor of the Basilisk Artillery Tank and destroyed the muzzle.
The good times didn't last long, they had just dealt with a few basilisks, and precise bombs hit their heads.
A third combat group of Red Torrent was stationed on the flank of the artillery position and was now starting to kill insects.
The leader of the third group is famous for being good at using power fists. He is equipped with an extreme power fist in one hand and a power sword in the other. He strides toward the enemy and delivers the power sword to the enemy within a few breaths.
The power fist met head-on with the snake and insect, directly punching through the body of the enemy in front of him. The violent power of the Primaris warriors was fully displayed when using the power fist. The power sword of the third team leader was mainly used to block the sharp point wielded by the enemy. Claws and fists are the killing moves after close contact.
The plasma cannon team followed closely behind, shooting one bug at a time. Although there was a bayonet hanging under the plasma gun, the teammates covering the side made the shining cold blade a decoration. The escort team rushed into the enemy group. The sword edge avoided the six sharp thorns and slashed towards the enemy's vital points. Several snakes and insects around them also gathered together, using their temporary numerical advantage to hold back the Astartes' main force. Troops, separated by a soldier.
The son of the Iron Hands was besieged by ten snakes, but he did not panic at all. The effect of the prosthetic limbs was reflected at this moment. The power sword was strengthened and locked by the prostheses. The snakes failed to knock away his power sword, but instead caused his head to hit too hard. Protruding, head chopped off.
Taking this opportunity, the snake on the side struck with all his strength and chopped the war blade into pieces with his sharp claws with a decomposing stance. Astartes immediately hammered away the enemy with his iron hand, and the snake behind him hit the power backpack with one blow. , causing the reaction energy supply in the backpack to weaken, and he can only rely on small solar panels to survive.
The prosthetic warrior did not panic at all. His fingers suddenly broke. Each of the five metal fingers had a single-shot injection dart, which contained biological toxins specifically designed to deal with the Tyranids.
The five-shot darts stabbed the three snakes that were coming from that direction, and their shells were pierced like cardboard. The bright green medicine flowed through their bodies in a few heartbeats, causing severe convulsions. The hit area began to rot, and bits and pieces of pus flowed out from the wound. The nerves throughout the body were blocked and could not receive signals from higher-level Zerg nodes.
The enemies on the side joined forces to bite him, but Astartes was unable to dodge, allowing the enemy to bite the prosthetic limb. The hidden blade at the elbow of the prosthetic arm popped out, killing another snake.
He gave up his arm and rushed forward a few steps. A tiny single molecular blade popped out from the heel of one prosthetic leg (the saber tooth on the chain sword), and a hook foot was drawn towards the pursuing enemy, tearing it apart. The scales of their snake tails.
The enemy didn't care about these minor injuries and swam their bodies in an attempt to chase the "crippled Astartes", but several large, round silver balls hit them.
The mortals mustered up the courage to use anti-vehicle bombs to fight back against these Zerg commandos.
The other Astartes completed the killing of surrounding enemies during this period, and the ferocious firepower declared that the mechanical power had won the battle.
The arrival of the Emperor's Angel greatly improved the morale of the surrounding mortals. They took out their self-defense weapons. Although they were not very powerful, it was still possible to follow behind the Emperor's Angel to hit them.
The snakes and insects that came out later were just a gift. The Astartes were like whack-a-mole, hammering one by one to strangle the enemy in the underground passage.
........
On the other side, the digging bug is a bug that digs tunnels. It digs a larger road and can support a large number of knife bugs, gun bugs and even Tyranid warriors to pass through.
After this assault force spent a lot of time digging through the frozen soil and opening a path behind the Cadian Lightning Army, several Zerg teams began to sneak across, preparing to attack the Astra Militarum from both sides.
Unfortunately they were noticed by the more observant Astartes.
An unhelmeted Astartes who accidentally fell in the trench sensed the enemy movements below and warned the surrounding troops in advance.
.......
On the frontal battlefield, the artillery fire paused for a while. The cannons and gunworm fire from the Hive Guards briefly suppressed the armored convoy. Pools of physalis on the ground corroded the soil, and wisps of unpleasant black smoke rose. The bodies of the Zerg were Scattered piles were piled on the ground, either blown away by artillery fire or melted by physalis cannons. Bioplasma melts steel with ease, and the Astra Militarum is not safe even hiding behind the remains of an armored vehicle.
The accompanying White Scar children immediately organized a motorcycle swarm to form a beheading commando team and headed straight for the enemy's "artillery position."
The closer you get to the enemy capillary tower, the more gargoyles will appear in the sky.
Before the gargoyle army could swoop down to attack the White Scar children, and before the Hive Tyrant could send out Tyrant Guards that looked like gorillas to protect the Flame-eating Insects, a huge energy column suddenly shot from the sky and destroyed the capillary tower tubes.
After the dazzling light, the middle of the capillary tower tube turned into nothingness, and strangely colored nutrient solution spurted out from the fracture. The general tower tube below fell to one side, crushing many gunworms to death.
The galaxy's air defense forces changed their thinking. Since we can't knock down the enemy's biological mothership, it's not a problem to use the cannon to blast his capillary tower tubes flatly.
This was the "inspiration" of the commander of the planetary artillery force, and the effect was quite significant, which made the War Council quite miserable.
"Whose general is this?" Coriasius asked angrily.
"It turns out that from the Planetary Defense Force, after the Death Watch dealt with the Planetary Defense Force that was basically corrupted by the Genestealers, there were only a few officers left. They were recruited by the tallest of the dwarfs."
"Let the Imperial Guard take over and send this guy to the front lines."
Coriathius was so angry that it was not easy to deal with the capillary tower tubes. Not to mention that the Titan Order did not attack, and even the Emperor-class Titans did not plan to go out. My battleships in space returned to support several biological motherships. You can repel it, but you, the fort commander, need to be smart here?
After the capillary tower tube was blown off, the biological mothership seemed to want to evacuate and return to its own fleet.
The enemies here are not easy to deal with, so we need to consider the long term.
Everyone in the War Council looked at each other, what to do, how to delay time?
A commander of Valhalla was eaten by Likart, and then this Likart was eaten by the Corpse Gathering Insect. The information was transmitted to the biological mothership along the insect nest WIFI. The huge biological mothership was entangled for a moment, and then Move position and move towards another area.
It seems that it does not intend to stop attacking, but decided to find a weaker defensive position on the planet.
The war council breathed a sigh of relief. The information obtained by the grassroots commanders was naturally incomplete and misleading in order to prevent similar situations from happening.
The Hive Tyrant below was fighting, and suddenly found that he had become an outcast, so he angrily led the Tyrant Guards, Cerebrates (enemy psykers, super big heads), Gutworms and Double Blades to charge towards the enemy. , trying to catch up with the biological mothership's voyage and rush to the next scheduled attack position.
The appearance of the aphrodisiacs and worms startled the imperial troops. These big guys, between the sentinel mecha and the knight mecha, are the pioneers in the war and the masters of breaking formations.
Both of these bugs have another super big mouth on their chest. The difference is that one walks on two legs and the other walks on four legs.
The compound blade insect is best at slashing all the way from the enemy's formation to the commander's tent, beheading the enemy general in the most brutal way.
Facing the heavy Zerg units advancing in formation, the advantage of the White Scars is no longer obvious. They ride motorcycles and swim around the Zerg waves, trying to find the enemy's weaknesses, or directly lead their troops to penetrate the Zerg tyrant from behind the enemy. A "change of generals" operation to compete in beheading speed.
.......
At the same time, the Salamanders, Red Torrent and Black Dragon Chapters began to engage in firefights with the enemy.
The enemy finally fell into the original trap, the hidden Iron Legion area of Armageddon, which pretended to be as lacking in equipment as the Thirteenth Consqueit Regiment, relying solely on flesh and blood and large Ogryn defenses.
The biological mothership was successfully deceived, selected a good location, and dropped the capillary tower tube and recovery tank. The Astra Militarum ground troops spread out their formation and emerged after a large number of knife bugs fell. They began to destroy the enemy's biomass with absolute firepower suppression.
This puts the biological mothership in a dilemma. It has lost a lot of biomass before. If this place is abandoned, the recycling pool and the like will obviously not be recovered. I have traveled thousands of miles to get here, but I finally met the food, but I didn’t eat it. Is it appropriate to take a few bites and lose a few pounds of meat first? Just thinking about it makes you lose money.
The three battle groups began to move, and the Salamanders' flamethrower army was dispersed among the Astra Militarum in a mighty manner, assisting them in burning the bladeworms that dared to enter our trenches.
The soldiers of the Red Torrent opened fire everywhere on the battlefield. With unlimited supplies, they used their signature play method, and when in doubt, they first fired a few magazines.
The Black Dragon Chapter is even more violent, and they serve as the main force against the Tyranids.
One by one, they were all tall with spikes all over their bodies and were holding exaggeratedly large weapons... The Tyranid warriors faced the Black Dragon Legion, who were tall and armed with huge finely crafted chainswords with bone spurs coming out of their bodies. .....
Who is the Zerg?
Anthony felt a little irritated. At this brief glance, he thought there was a civil war in Tyranid.
The Chapter Master, Dragon Head, stands at the highest point. His body, which is taller than the Imperial Guards, gives him great strength. His torso has undergone multiple bone hyperplasia and is equipped with his special Terminator armor. This Chapter Master can compete with the Tyranids. Aphrodisiac wrestling.
Several Tyranid warriors rushed towards him, followed by the Tyrant Guard.
The person commanding here is obviously not the previous strategic Hive Tyrant. The biological mothership stores multiple parent copies of the Hive Tyrant, which are constantly modified in the process of fighting against the enemy.
The second Hive Tyrant, which liked to charge, landed on Alisas World Three. This caused some command conflicts with the previous one, but soon, the previous one was beheaded by White Scar's assault force.
The tyrant guard who looks like a gorilla is now looming in the yellow-green mist emitted by the poisonous fog bugs. Dragon Head is unafraid. His company commander leads a Terminator team to fight against the Tyranid warriors. Dragon Head I, on the other hand, stared at the tyrant guard who rushed towards me with sharp eyes, full of killing intent.
The black armor is not stained with a trace of dust, and there are long bone spurs protruding from both arms of the dragon head, which are thicker and larger than those of normal battle brothers.
He carefully polished his bone spurs before the battle and covered them with adamantine in their own unique way.
Now, the dragon head waved two dragon claws, slamming them together, making the sound of gold and stone, and provoking the tyrant guard in front of him.
The Tyrant Guard has almost no weaknesses. It is covered with a very thick defensive carapace, and anti-vehicle bombs do not do much damage to it. It is just a madman who bites others crazily after stacking up its armor.
When the two sides entered a distance of fifty meters, they began to engage in a tacit confrontation. One side raised a crab claw wrapped in a thick carapace, and the other side waved a bone spur wrapped in fine gold to create gusts of wind.
Anthony never plays his cards according to the routine. He fights on the battlefield. Is he sick?
Before the two sides came into contact, Anthony first turned his fixed position plasma cannon and fired a shot at the Tyrant guard running a hundred meters away from the side.
The blue plasma ball flew towards the Tyrant Guard's head with explosive force. However, a psychic barrier blocked the electro-plasma bomb, and the Tyrant Guard and the dragon head collided together.
Anthony squinted his eyes and looked deeper into the yellow-green poisonous mist, and there was a vague high-energy reaction.
"Evil feeder!" Salamander shouted, and the think tank hurried towards this direction.
The evil feeder is a large brainworm. To put it simply, it carries six psychic generators (brains) on its body. Now it is advancing all the way and jumping out of the smoke.
The strong spiritual energy flashing on its back formed a shock wave, which spread across the battlefield. The inspired Zerg became more agile and moved more "intelligently", while the movements of the affected enemies became slower and their bodies were ephemeral. out of control.
Our think tank also quickly launched a counter-spell, and the two sides launched a psychic confrontation.
In the sky, gargoyles were hidden in the clouds. After seeing the flickering spiritual energy of the evil bugs, they attacked towards the position one after another.
Many soldiers had to raise their guns and focus on dealing with hordes of enemies high in the sky.
At this time, Titan-level Tyranid creatures began to enter the scene, and the first Saint Insect was created by the biological mothership. This level of Tyranid creatures was specially used to destroy the heavy steel legion.
The four giant scythes of the Holy Worm can tear apart adamantine armor, and the terrifying substance spewed out from the two acid jets below can melt the Emperor's Baneblade tank in seconds.
Next to it is the Evil Woman Insect (Hive Mother), which is a walking insect-making machine that produces basic minions all the time and uses the insect sea tactic to drown the enemy. It likes close combat and has many giant scythes. Sometimes it also shoots bone spurs as a long-range attack.
The leader of the dragon immediately realized that the mere tyrant guard in front of him was not worth his time at all. The sharp bone blade failed to make any progress on the enemy's purple carapace, but was bounced away.
The enemy opened his bloody mouth and tried to bite the dragon's head.
Tyrant Guards have no eyes and rely entirely on the will of the Hive Tyrant for guidance.
The dragon's head was not fast, but it was very powerful. After the bone blade was bounced off, it took advantage of the situation and kicked the enemy, denting his knee.
The tyrant guard felt no pain, and the thick "crab claws" slammed into the dragon's head. The dragon's head used a bone spur to block the enemy's heavy blow, and the bone spur on the other hand pierced the enemy's joint connection point.
"Poof~" Tiny blood splashes appeared, and the "gorilla" was punctured with a hole.
Dragon Head kicked the enemy away and retreated. The Tyrant Guard wanted to get up and fight again, but found that he could not contact the Hive Tyrant, and then completely lost consciousness.
Steady, accurate and ruthless, the descendant of the Salamander may not be very good against the Chaos Warriors, but against the Tyranid Zerg, it is a professional counterpart, burning the sky with clouds, hammering down the monsters in all directions... Bone spurs versus bone spurs, it's fair.
The Dragon Head wants to retreat, but the Hive Tyrant may not give in.
A super-muscular monster more than six meters tall jumped out of the poisonous fog. The Hive Tyrant was covered in a large number of exoskeletons. Its claws and bone swords could tear apart a large number of Chimera armored vehicles that the Armageddon Iron Legion was proud of. Most Tyranid elite units will do.
He is the frontline commander of the Tyranid swarm, surrounded by the mighty Guardsmen and bugs that fill the Tianshan Sea.
The artillery bombardment fired a volley towards them, most of which were blocked by the psychic barrier. The bugs rushed arrogantly towards the mortal position in front.
The fire coverage of the Storm Blade Super Heavy Tank and Sentinel Mecha penetrated the psychic barrier, and these attacks were too powerful to be used to destroy cheap bugs.
Don't be afraid, there is a manufacturing factory behind it.
Anthony assembled a commando team, and the Black Dragon Chapter also gathered a large number of warriors around the dragon head.
They would not let the people of the Red Torrent Chapter get closer, so Anthony asked the troops to attack forward and divert the enemy's attack route.
Our soldiers suddenly charged and fought hundreds of meters against the frenzied tide of the Insect Mountain and Insect Sea, attracting the attention of the Insect Hive Tyrant.
It didn't come to deal with us. At least he thought it was more important to kill the dragon's head. Maybe he could get the genetic code for stronger claws.
Tyran is a little coveted for the Black Dragon Chapter's bone spurs.
It sent out the Wicked Lady Bugs to contain Anthony's team. I... suffered a huge psychic attack in the midst of lightning and flint.
The think tank of the Black Dragon Chapter, who had a strange three-pointed bone horn on his head, was looking at it coldly while holding a power hammer. There was a faint blue flash on the bone horn on the think tank's head. After a moment, there was lightning and thunder, and a ball of thunder gathered at the three-pronged bone horn.
"My Emperor, I grant you eternal death."
