Chapter 250: Hold on for eight days, the governor will arrive
The legs were broken, the head with the integrated sensing element was destroyed, the shield generator was destroyed...
In this state, the Knight Titan was already in a panic.
This kind of panic can be easily seen even by ordinary soldiers.
Although, it still has powerful force in its hands.Although he can't stand up, the gravity fist can still destroy any military unit in the Alliance Army at once. The guy is waving it out of the air, for fear of something approaching.
The howitzer launcher mounted on his left hand was also firing everywhere.
However, it was all in vain.
On the contrary, the alliance's army has been able to process this Knight Titan well.
It was like shooting at a target.
Without the energy shield, the armor strength of the Knight Titan itself is actually very high, but it is still much easier to deal with.
Especially the Lion Tank's rail-mounted main gun and reflector laser cannon, both of which can cause terrible damage.
Within a few rounds, the Knight Titan, which had lost its mobility and energy shield, suffered heavy losses.
The weapon systems mounted on both arms were all offline.The Gravity Fist could no longer be swung, and the howitzer launcher had rotted away.
At this point, although the Knight Titan has not been completely destroyed, it is almost there, at least it is no longer a threat.
It can't move, and it can't attack to pose a threat. It can only be regarded as a huge iron coffin. The driver, Count Dellux, inside is just waiting to die.
If you really want to completely destroy it, you have to bombard its energy core and power core, which have the strongest defense and are integrated with the cockpit. This is a bit of a waste of firepower.
After all, the soldiers of the alliance are still in a state of war at the moment.
Since this Knight Titan is no longer a threat, it can be ignored for now.
Moreover, regardless of this mecha, there is another benefit.
The armies of the Luman Kingdom were not willing to just leave this mecha here.In particular, many army officers and commanders are essentially vassals of the Dellux family.The lord was trapped, and of course they had to come to rescue him.
This has become a situation of local siege and aid.
And then...the enemy started to think about retreating.
The remaining Knight Titan didn't seem to have any intention of coming to rescue his colleagues—it couldn't be saved either. The Ranger Knight who had lost his mobility could not be towed away unless the war was won, and then it was towed by construction machinery.
But the remaining driver of the Knight Titan, who was also the commander of the entire army, obviously had given up hope of winning the war.
He had noticed that his rear army had been defeated by the Alliance expeditionary force that rushed out of the suburban town.
And when he saw Count Delux on the same level as himself, he was defeated directly.
So what else is there to fight for?
If he falls into the same fate as Delux...then he would rather bear the king's punishment.
He gave the order to retreat.
However, he soon discovered that retreat seemed like an extravagant hope.
...
Perbov marched westward!
Currently, he directly commands more than [-] troops, all of whom are motorized or mechanized infantry. In terms of armored vehicles, they include [-] infantry fighting vehicles and [-] Lion tanks.
This is the entire main force of the 37th Division and a small portion of the 38th Division.
They quickly destroyed the rear army of the Luman Kingdom.
There were probably more than 4000 people, who had set up temporary defensive positions. They were originally intended to guard against the alliance troops in the suburban town.
However, without the 'knights' standing guard, these ordinary kingdom soldiers were quite vulnerable.Under the full-speed assault of the armored troops, they were defeated without even a little delay.
Afterwards, Purbov had no time to chase down these fleeing troops, but instead led the army and rushed towards the main battlefield.
And this battle must be fought well.
Purbov already knows the latest battle report on the battlefield ahead.
The main force of the 38th division has played well enough.Faced with the enemy's strong surprise attack, the 38th Division, with its weak force, not only did not get dispersed, but also dragged the main force of the Luman Kingdom into the quagmire while protecting the governor's mother. among.
However, although the 38th Division is already fighting bravely, the gap in strength, weapons and equipment exists objectively.
If it weren't for La Crocha's extraordinary performance, he would have had to pay a much higher price if he wanted to kill that Knight Titan.
But fortunately, the remaining Knight Titan is timid.
This is just as Perbov concluded when he exchanged opinions with his military and political commissar: No matter how intimidating these Luman Kingdom troops may look and have powerful mecha power, they are essentially a group of people from the old era. Feudal system army.The two of them really don't think highly of this group of people.
In other words, it relies on two Knight Titans to be fierce, and nothing else is good.
And those two Knight Titans are also of the style of feudal lords.They were great, but they were also not looked down upon by Purbeuf.
This is indeed the case.
The two Knight Titans failed to keep pace and cooperate well with each other. It is really ridiculous that one is dead and the other is escaping.
What's more, Perbov didn't intend to let the one that was planning to escape escape.
Purbov's commanding style is always known for his reckless and fierce playing style, but in fact, he never feels that he is really reckless.
In the past, in many battles on Raging Owl, his troops always had various advantages.Especially in the battle to regain the eastern provinces, the alliance's army always had advantages in quantity and quality of military equipment.
So what's the strategy?Appropriately distribute the troops, and then fight up, won't it be enough?
Now, he had to be patient.
He also showed that patience.
Purbov wanted to keep the Knight Titan, but he did not rush towards the Knight Titan in a hurry.
Based on previous battle reports, he had already thought of some strategies.
How did the last Knight Titan end?
Break away from your own army.
Just imagine, at the foot of the Titan Knight, if there were a dozen sentry mechs and hundreds of infantry at its feet, how could it get past the alliance soldiers who crippled it at the beginning?Lacroxia, who charged behind alone, no matter how supernatural he is, he can't stand the firepower of the knight Titan, and single-handedly penetrate hundreds of infantry and more than a dozen sentinel mechas, and directly threaten the Titan— - Let alone La Crocha, even with a team of Space Marines, it would be difficult to achieve this.
You can't hit hard.
But on the contrary, without the cooperation of friendly forces, no matter how strong the Knight Titan is, it will be just like that.
No war weapon can be fought completely apart from an entire military system.
And if Perbov wants to eat this intact Knight Titan, the first thing he has to do is to lose its wings.
Under his command, the armored group of the 37th Division, as the main force, was like a pack of patient wolves chasing the retreating enemy troops.Most of the firepower of the armored vehicles and tanks was placed on the sentinel mechs, or if there was a good chance, they would also shoot a few shots at the places where the infantry was densest.
The infantrymen who dismounted to fight also mainly targeted those ordinary Luman soldiers.Retreating in the middle of the battle is actually a very challenging thing.Get one wrong and a retreat can turn into a real rout.
Obviously, the soldiers of the Luman Kingdom failed to withstand such a test.
At first, they could barely maintain order in their retreat, but under the constant pursuit of armored units, the morale of the Lumann soldiers quickly collapsed.
"Ha! Just as I expected!" Perbov grabbed the communicator and shouted: "Keep chasing me! Rush! Rash these infantry and those sentinel mechs! Those who run away don't care." , Anyone who dares to get close to that Knight Titan will be beaten to death by me!"
He gave instructions.
And his troops strictly implemented this instruction.
The remaining Knight Titan quickly felt that it could no longer control the army.The messages he sent either went unanswered, or he did but couldn't.
But there were fewer and fewer people around him.
The energy shield could protect himself, but it could not protect those rare ordinary soldiers who stayed by his side in the end.
Although, during this process, the howitzer in his hand continued to fire at the alliance's armored forces. In the process, four Lion tanks were knocked to their knees, and at least twenty armored vehicles were destroyed.
But at the same time, the last Luman soldier died at his feet, the last Sentinel mecha was destroyed, and the Knight Titan became completely alone.
Then, although his physical system, perception unit, and power system were all present, he still fell into the situation of 'an elephant waiting to be slaughtered'.
Several infantry squads, under the cover of armored vehicles, quickly approached.
The Knight Titan was panicked.
He had seen the fate of Deluxe before. How could he still not know what fate he would face next?
He has tried hard to avoid it. He used howitzers to destroy several armored vehicles with infantry. When the infantry was approaching in groups, he continued to use gravity punches and kicks with his legs and feet...
However, these soldiers from the Raging Owl Star are really not afraid of death!
Even those who were killed by the Knight Titan died in a miserable state, but they still failed to deter the soldiers behind from rushing up one after another.
How can a six-meter-tall Knight Titan be more agile than an ordinary-sized infantryman?There were people on the left and right, and even if he kept moving like ADHD, he was still inevitably hurt by rockets and bombs shot through the energy shield at close range.
Soon, like Dellux, he was incapacitated, then had his shield generator removed, and then was completely destroyed.
...
In Pinser City, the fighting gradually subsided.
Ness Luhmann and Gu Ming, who could be considered the instigators of this incident, had a quarrel.
The reason was that Lu Man told Gu Ming that among the eight targets he designated, one was definitely not on the Black Arrow Star and was not on the starship in space; three were dead, and three were captured alive.
But Gu Ming scolded him back.
"But the most important one was let go by you!" Gu Ming lost control of his emotions, "In your capital! Under siege by your army! I also provided you with those loopholes in security! I even encouraged you to rebel. We have recruited some important security teams! But you can actually let people run away!"
"So incompetent! No wonder under your leadership and the support I have given you secretly for so many years, the Luman Kingdom can only be ranked third! It's all because of you! Trash!"
After scolding, Gu Ming no longer had the gentle and persuasive appearance he had when communicating with Lu Man in the past.
He did lose his composure and Wang Qi ran away, causing him to panic.He has made a desperate move. Even if the plan succeeds and he kills or controls all the people, the follow-up aftermath will be equally difficult.
Not to mention that Wang Qi is not dead.
In panic and helplessness, he lost his mind and cursed at his 'partners'.
Luman is a king, so many years, when did he suffer from this kind of anger?
He was almost angry.
But in the end, I endured it.
He said solemnly: "The matter has not yet been decided. The team that blocked Gu Hang's people has intercepted Wang Qi. I have given them a death order. They must catch the person at any cost and save him alive. If you want to see a dead person, you must see a corpse!"
After hearing this, Gu Ming calmed down somewhat.
He knew that there were two Knight Titans among the troops blocking the town outside.
This should be stable enough.
His tone became calmer: "That's fine... Your Majesty Luman, please forgive me for being a little rude just now. I take back what I said before. I'm really sorry."
Of course, Lu Man would not forget Gu Ming's rude remarks just now so easily.
But now was far from the time to fall out, so he could only endure the humiliation and put a fake smile on his face.
However, just when he was about to make a fool of himself, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"
After listening to the report, before Luman could say anything, he heard a crisp sound behind him.Turning his head, he saw Gu Ming slamming the cup in his hand to the ground.
...
At the same time, a conversation was also taking place in the suburban town.
Ms. Wang Qi, who had finally settled down, was in shock, but she had to cheer up and contact all parties.
She wants to contact the starships in the sky and actively look for opportunities to evacuate.
But the results were not good.
The civil strife among the eight merchant fleets is still unresolved; the four merchant fleets that obey Gu Ming are very tenacious; the other two stand by and do nothing to help anyone.
The orbital air defense system on the surface is a great threat. If it cannot occupy the planet's orbit, the landing ship cannot disembark.
Then, she turned to put pressure on the other six major countries in the Black Arrow Star.
In this regard, there have been certain results.
Luman, the current planetary governor, is essentially a rotation person promoted by the King's Council.He did not have the final say on the Black Arrow Star alone. The Luman Kingdom was only ranked third in terms of national power on the Black Arrow Star.There are also six other large countries of similar size.
These six major countries were also confused by Gu Ming's sudden action.
Although, their current response is basically to promise to "efforts to mediate", without any definite commitment to send troops.
But it's still good news to know that not the entire Black Arrow Star has turned against them.
The third communication was a communication with his son using Starfleet relay.
During the call, Gu Hang didn't say much, he just calmed Wang Qi's mood and called Perbeuf and Leroy.
"You did a good job."
Gu Hang showed a compliment, and then immediately conveyed a new order:
"Next, stay for eight days. I will arrive in eight days."
