Chapter 132: Main Battlefield of the Channel
Throughout the first half of the night, no new underground ratmen appeared.
The unknown enemy used three types of underground ratmen to attack the Zerg base defense line in various ways.
Cannon fodder, summoners, and long-range throwers tossed and turned, sending underground ratmen to the Zerg base defense line without hesitation.
The combination of Zerg defense buildings and hydralisks, with the addition of splash decomposition attack mode, made it easier to defend against various attacks of underground ratmen. They didn't even need the Zerg puppies to appear, and they defended the first line of defense.
The Zerg did not lose any troops, and they just made a lot of money from the large amount of resources sent by the enemy.
Both sides fought until midnight, and neither showed signs of fatigue.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the performance of the underground ratmen tonight was not as good as that of the ghouls last night.
Yesterday's ghouls broke through the Zerg defense line several times and attacked the Zerg puppies head-on, causing a large number of Zerg puppies to lose. Compared with tonight, it can be said that the results of the battle were fruitful.
The more the enemy does this, the more careful Wu Qing becomes, because this enemy is very smart and will not make such an obvious mistake.
The combat force sent out is getting weaker day by day, which is not in line with the enemy's character. It is not certain where it will be holding back a big move.
As expected, around the middle area of the channel connecting the underground base of the Zerg territory and the foundation of the cave, the patrolling host found a large number of weirdnesses digging.
A huge underground space that is almost set outside the connecting channel has been formed. Those weirdnesses were dug next to the channel, and the host discovered them.
Wu Qing knew that it would not be long before the connecting channel between the two Zerg bases would usher in a thundering blow from the enemy!
"The focus of tonight is here!"
The enemy should not have discovered that the Zerg can detect its deployment in advance. Every time the Zerg deploys targeted defenses, it may think that it is originally like this, rather than specifically targeting its attack.
So tonight it used this time-consuming and laborious, but very useful trick again. After all, using this trick yesterday almost caused the Zerg base to fall.
Wu Qing found the main battlefield tonight, and he was relieved. He began to use this time difference to deploy defenses.
He ordered the host to strengthen the patrol of the entire Zerg territory and mobilized worker bees to build defensive buildings in the spacious connecting passage.
He found the enemy area in the connecting passage, which was densely packed with defensive spikes and anti-aircraft towers built one after another. The space was limited, and he left no gaps.
This place soon became the place with the most densely populated defensive buildings in the entire Zerg territory.
Every time a defensive building was successfully built, it was immediately upgraded to one star to maximize the defense capabilities of this area.
The Zerg and the underground ratmen fought fiercely in the middle of the night, and the system harvested a large amount of resources. Wu Qing added another 3,000 hydralisks. He dispatched all the 5,000 hydralisks on standby in the underground base of the Zerg territory and the newly added 3,000 hydralisks to the passage.
Among these 8,000 hydralisks, there were nearly 200 one-star hydralisks that upgraded themselves. They led the hydralisk army, obeyed the command of the queen, deployed troops, and occupied favorable attack positions in the connecting passage.
The number of Zerg puppies has never stopped increasing. Nearly 100,000 Zerg puppies mobilized from the Zerg ground base and underground base quickly entered the connecting channel and hid underground one by one.
The Zerg puppies that continued to rapidly increase their troops all gathered in the underground base, waiting for the battle in the support channel and handling emergency situations.
The Zerg was able to quickly carry out such a level of defensive deployment, all thanks to the enemy constantly sending resources to the Zerg on the front line. Without the support of these resources, the Zerg can now only choose to reluctantly abandon the newly built cave base and withdraw to the underground base.
The connecting channel between the two bases is now a weakness of the Zerg territory. Once it is cut off, the cave base will become an isolated Zerg territory, and there will be no way to get support at night.
If the Zerg army walks out of the protection range of the territory at night, those weird hidden in the dark can take action personally.
Wu Qing has no way to evaluate the strength of those weird ones.
The unknown enemy, after preparing for the middle of the night, must have a certain degree of confidence in wanting to cut off the connection between the two bases. Without the support of the entire Zerg territory, the isolated cave base is likely to be unable to defend.
The current offensive of the underground ratmen is very fierce. If they attack from both sides, a cave base alone cannot support such a high-intensity positional attrition war.
Of course, information advantage is also extremely critical. If the host cannot find the changes outside the connection channel and is suddenly attacked by the enemy, even if there is resource support, it will suffer heavy losses, and the battle will become extremely difficult!
Now the Zerg has targeted advance deployment. As long as the gap in strength between the two sides is not too large, even if the connection channel cannot be defended, the Zerg in the cave base can retreat calmly.
Or fight for losses, continue to consume with the enemy, and earn a lot of resource profits!
For the Zerg, the loss of the Zerg is actually irrelevant. What is important is that these losses can bring a lot of resources. If you don’t earn enough, in the eyes of Wu Qing and the Zerg, this is a loss!
…
The Zerg’s deployment in the connecting channel between the two bases is constantly being strengthened, and those strange things outside the connecting channel have also dug to the edge of the shelter area of the territory. The rest will be left to the attacking forces to dig.
Through the host’s detection, Wu Qing found that judging from the characteristics, the zombies responsible for the attack this time are still those zombies from yesterday.
Although the zombies are a single type of soldiers, their strength is indeed much stronger than the underground ratmen, and their offensive is more fierce!
It was the same script as yesterday, not very clever, but very effective.
As the ghouls dug, the walls of the middle section of the connecting channel of the entire base collapsed!
This was equivalent to exposing the middle section of the connecting channel to a huge underground space. If it were not for the rule-level protection of the territory above and below the channel, those weird powers would have dug out all sides of the channel, leaving the Zerg in the channel without a foothold!
The current situation is also not good. A large number of ghouls poured into the relatively narrow connecting channel at the same time!
The Zerg did not hold back. The 8,000 Hydralisks and a large number of anti-aircraft towers that had been prepared long ago were the first to spray biodegradable liquid at the ghouls.
The Zerg's biodegradable liquid hit the ghouls, and the ghouls' gelatinous skin and flesh with very strong defensive capabilities melted instantly like normal flesh and blood!
The vitality of the ghouls is very tenacious. If their heads are not injured, they will not die for a while.
But the effect of this first wave of attacks was still very obvious. Except for the zombies that were injured in the head and disappeared in light, the others were either mutilated or covered with scars. All of them had their defenses broken.
