Looking at the billowing smoke of the shadow of doom in the distance, Chu Jungui's heart sank. According to normal estimates, Gamble would never be able to reach the Shadow of Doom City, let alone capture the fortress. Unless he added thrusters to every tank and mecha.
Even if Gamble could keep moving at full speed, he would still be at least 20 kilometers away from the shadow of doom. In terms of calculations, Chu Jungui never makes mistakes.
Is there another attacking force? Based on the intelligence provided by the prisoners and the number of transport ships witnessed with their own eyes, this is also impossible.
Chu Jungui suppressed his doubts, looked at the traces on the ground, and ordered to continue the pursuit. No matter what conspiracy the opponent has, as long as he catches up with his main force, it will naturally become clear.
The defense of Shadow of Doom is no joke. Even if it is defeated, a heavy price will be paid.
The traces left on the ground suddenly became very clear a few kilometers away, as if the tanks and mechas had become extremely heavy here. But the weight only increased for a moment before returning to its original state. Gamble's troops turned around here, and the traces led all the way to the forest not far away.
Without thinking, Chu Jungui immediately followed the mark and rushed towards the forest. As soon as his chariot rushed out, he saw several light spots in the forest where the temperature was rising rapidly!
Chu Jungui's chariot immediately stopped suddenly and plowed a long arc on the ground under the action of inertia. At the same time, the chariot naturally turned half a circle.
Everything, everything! The chariot continued to vibrate, and Chu Jungui was hit by several shots in an instant. Fortunately, the tank is rotating, switching fronts, and each shot hits a different place. Amid the violent shaking, Chu Jungui also fired two cannons, but one shot missed and only one shell accurately hit the target.
Countless tanks and mechas poured out of the forest, and shells rained down on them. They penetrated the two wings at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded on three sides.
He was actually ambushed!
"Retreat!" Chu Jungui made a decisive decision and destroyed several tanks in front of him at the same time. Then he turned and destroyed the first tank that was outflanking from one side, covering the retreat of the troops.
Fortunately, the unit was small in size and highly mobile. The entire unit completed the turn in the blink of an eye, firing back fiercely while retreating. However, in the face of enemies that were several times their superiority, tanks continued to be destroyed, and there was no time to even rescue the crew.
There have been more than 300 tanks rushing out of the forest, and more are still coming out. Chu Jungui's heart sank again. As expected, his opponent had ambushed another army. On this planet where the reconnaissance range of both sides was extremely compressed, the opponent finally succeeded in ambushing him.
"Speed up!" Chu Jungui had to abandon the destroyed vehicle crew and lead the remaining troops to rush out of the enemy's encirclement at full speed before the enemy's encirclement was completely formed.
Chu Jungui personally took up the rear, retreating and fighting at the same time, destroying tanks and mechas one after another. However, Gan Bo pursued him relentlessly and constantly sent mobile troops to try to outflank him.
At this moment, there were only a dozen chariots left beside Chu Jungui, and most of them were in dilapidated condition. At this moment, a huge, vague shadow appeared in the fog in the distance. That was the Ark!
Chu Jungui no longer waited behind, rushed to the side of the ark at full speed, jumped out of the chariot, activated the short-distance flight system, flew directly into the ark, and took over control.
A large amount of smoke and dust suddenly poured out from below the Ark, and the atmospheric engine started, pushing the huge car body into the air, and then crashed in front of the pursuers with a bang.
Faced with the sudden obstacle, Gamble was naturally not polite and focused all his firepower on the Ark. For a moment, the Ark was completely covered in flames and smoke.
Fangzhou was also unceremonious and immediately fought back. Although the number of rapid-fire cannons installed on it is not large, its power and rate of fire are higher than those of the previous generation. The 200mm caliber ensures that one shot can destroy the federal tank. Even if one shot fails, one more shot can solve the problem.
Under the recoil of the rapid-fire cannon and the bombardment of the opponent, the Ark was shaking, and the huge body was almost completely engulfed in flames. But in the fierce fire, the huge cannonballs still flew out one after another, accurately hitting each tank or mecha with an obvious arc trajectory.
After a fierce exchange of fire, there was a brief pause in the firepower of both sides. The Knights of the Round Table suffered heavy losses. Dozens of tanks and mechas were destroyed in a short period of time. Only half of Ark's counterattack fire was left, and most of the turrets on this side were destroyed.
When the fire light dissipated slightly, Ark finally revealed its true appearance. The sides of the car were full of bomb craters, with large craters nestled within small craters, which was too horrible to look at. However, even the deepest crater, with a depth of more than one meter, has not yet penetrated the armor wall!
Gan Bo's pupils shrank when he saw it, and he almost cursed. This is not a mobile base, it is simply a solid steel block!
The Ark began to rotate, turning 120 degrees, and turned the other side. There were fewer shells on that side, and most of the turrets could still fire. After another round of brutal shooting, the Ark rotated 120 degrees again.
Thanks to the continuous efforts of the Knights of the Round Table, a force that successfully outflanked the side and rear finally penetrated the armor of the Ark. However, the result was even more disappointing. It turned out that the armor thickness of the four walls of the Ark was a full 2 meters! Although the strength of the armor is not outstanding, its absolute thickness is enough to offset any weaknesses in strength!
This is a solid steel thallium with many bubbles inside!
Ark relied on its extremely thick armor to resist the opponent's shells, and then hit it back with much larger and heavier shells. Over and over again, Shengsheng turned an encounter into a turn-based battle.
Another large amount of smoke and dust spewed out from below the Ark, almost covering the entire battlefield. Its remaining huge body lifted slightly, then turned around, facing the opponent with the thickest remaining armor, and retreated into the distance.
"Follow me?" The subordinates asked for instructions one after another. Their pursuit was obviously a bit slow. Although most of Ark's firepower was cut off, the psychological impact of the huge cannonball was too great. No one wanted to be hit in the head by one. Such a big cannonball hits so accurately, so what you pray for when you rush over is not that you are lucky, but that the other party is in a good mood and doesn't like your tank or mecha.
Gan Bo held a breath in his chest and took a long time to spit it out. He looked at the thick smoke billowing in the distance and said, "No need to chase."
Ark has basically been disabled, and there is actually not much point in pursuing it. Instead, it will cost a lot more casualties. Even if we catch up, if we break a steel block, what's the use? This big guy is just like those garbage chariots of Chu Jungui. It is more disgusting than combat power.
This battle has achieved its goal by destroying the Shadow of Doom. After losing his base, Gan Bo no longer had to consider Chu Jun's return for a long time. Even if one day Chu Jungui develops again, Gan Bo has already completed his mission and been transferred to other places. The mess here is left to the next person to clean up.
