Mobile Evasion!

On the deck, Old Zhou quickly took his position with his men in front of the cannons and heavy machine guns.

In front of the Frost Cannon, the artilleryman Ning Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead after loading the shell, gave a thumbs-up, and began calculating the enemy's distance, wind speed, and humidity.

In the cockpit, the two helmsmen, Tang Fang and A Bai, were focused, performing a series of operations.

On the streets, two convoys were speeding along, escorting the Tomorrow on both sides.

In the city ruins, two steel behemoths were slowly advancing, their heavy tracks crushing concrete, with majestic steam and thick smoke spewing from their exhaust valves.

"1500 meters, 1400 meters, 1300 meters," Lin Xia reported urgently from the watchtower. "Target is approaching, prepare to fire!"

The Tomorrow fired first.

The sharp sound of shells tearing through the air shattered the peace of the ruins. Four Normal Cannons fired simultaneously, their shells streaking across the sky and landing near the Crimson Hound.

At the same time, the enemy also opened fire.

Shells, accompanied by fierce whistling, exploded around both sides.

The shockwaves blew off the steel plates on the outer edges of the two Mobile Cities, flames gushed out, and smoke billowed.

"The Crimson Hound has a full eight Normal Cannons. It's too disadvantageous to engage it head-on," Li Ye immediately made a decision. "Tang Fang, initiate Mobile Evasion!"

Mobile Evasion.

This refers to the tactical maneuver where a Mobile City uses its engine power, track/wheel steering, and center of gravity adjustments to dodge enemy artillery fire or to seize advantageous tactical positions in advance.

Due to the massive size of Mobile Cities, which makes turning difficult, it often requires precise prediction and coordinated engineering efforts.

This is why helmsmen are so crucial to Mobile Cities.

Maneuvers like sharp track turns, serpentine advances, and center of gravity shifts are extremely demanding on the helmsman's operation and judgment.

On the wasteland, Mobile Evasion has an extremely beautiful name.

"Dance of Steel."

As another volley of shells rained down, Tang Fang yanked the control stick and forcefully twisted the steering wheel.

Instantly, the Tomorrow's starboard tracks locked, while its port tracks propelled forward at full speed. The entire Mobile City drifted sideways with a piercing screech of metal friction, its perilous maneuver dodging several shells.

"We did it!" A Bai exclaimed, watching the fireworks explode behind them.

Tang Fang felt no joy, only cold sweat and clenched teeth.

Since being appointed helmsman, he had always harbored a sense of luck.

Luck that his driving talent was high, luck that perhaps a better helmsman would replace him later, luck that future journeys would be smooth sailing.

It was only now that he truly understood the responsibility of a helmsman.

The direction of the entire Mobile City rested in your hands, and everyone trusted you.

And in your hands, you held the lives of every single one of them.

With that thought, Tang Fang took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming steady.

"Continue with Mobile Evasion!"

The two Mobile Cities weaved through the city ruins, using the stairs and buildings as cover, firing alternately.

The Crimson Hound continued to accelerate, relentlessly pursuing.

"It's preparing to close the distance for a Duel Battle!" Li Ye realized.

Duel Battle.

This is a very simple and crude tactic unique to Mobile Cities.

It involves two Mobile Cities engaging in a fierce, close-range firefight using the heavy machine guns and cannons on their decks.

Combat Personnel on the decks would also board the enemy Mobile City, landing on their decks and fighting with firearms and melee weapons.

This type of combat is extremely brutal and often decides the victor within a minute.

It is also often referred to as the "Game of the Brave."

Li Ye certainly would not engage the Crimson Hound in a Duel Battle.

The enemy possessed a full eight Normal Cannons, fourteen Normal Heavy Machine Guns, two Level 1 Artillery pieces, and 96 Combat Personnel, giving them an absolute advantage in a Duel Battle!

At Li Ye's command, the Tomorrow also accelerated, maintaining a specific distance between the two Mobile Cities.

A few minutes later, Lin Xia's voice came from the watchtower.

"The enemy convoys have caught up! Prepare to engage!"

At this moment, the Crimson Hound's four convoys had arrived at high speed from a distance. The convoy members held firearms and rocket launchers, their shoulders casually leaning against the car windows, a sinister grin on their faces.

In battles between Mobile Cities, they would typically maintain a certain distance, engaging in artillery duels and Mobile Evasion.

This situation could drag on for a long time, and it was during this period that the convoys played a crucial role.

Both Mobile Cities would dispatch their convoys to advance towards the enemy Mobile City.

Convoys were typically equipped with heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and rifles, and their primary objective was to...

destroy the enemy Mobile City's tracks or tires, paralyzing its movement.

Once a Mobile City's movement is crippled, it can no longer perform Mobile Evasion and will be stuck in place, becoming a sitting duck.

Immediately after, enemy artillery shells will land precisely on its deck.

New convoy members once wondered, if they could push close to the enemy Mobile City, why not concentrate their firepower on the enemy's cockpit, fuel room, or ammunition depot?

The reason is simple: the Mobile City's fuel room and ammunition depot are located in the core interior, making them impossible to hit.

Although the cockpit is located at the very front of the deck, it is protected by extremely thick armor.

Furthermore, the deck of a Mobile City is a full five to six meters off the ground. Even if convoy members were to lean out of their vehicle windows and aim their rifles upwards, they might not be able to hit it.

And at close range, the convoy would be subjected to heavy machine gun fire from the enemy Mobile City, which is extremely dangerous.

At this moment, Tomorrow's first and second convoys began to engage the enemy convoy.

Multiple off-road vehicles weaved through streets and alleys, pursuing and firing.

Although outnumbered, Tomorrow's convoy consisted of Level 1 Off-road Vehicles equipped with Level 1 Rocket Launchers, whereas the enemy's were only Normal grade.

As a result, in the close-range barrage, Tomorrow's second convoy suffered minor losses, while a Crimson Hound off-road vehicle was blown over by a single rocket.

On the deck, Artilleryman Ning Wen was intently calculating the distance.

"Only 2 shells left, I have to hit, I have to hit!" he muttered.

To achieve a decisive blow, he had to rely on this Frost Cannon.

Currently, the firing control of the cannon was in Ning Wen's hands.

Just a few minutes ago, he had operated the Frost Cannon and fired.

That shell was evaded by the Crimson Hound's Mobile Evasion, hitting a building to its left and instantly turning it into a block of ice.

This mistake sent a tremor through Ning Wen.

What made him break out in a cold sweat was that the Crimson Hound's two Level 1 Artillery pieces were ready, and their two artillerymen were also calculating the distance.

Ning Wen knew perfectly well that they also wanted to land a fatal blow.

With two roars, the two Level 1 Artillery pieces fired simultaneously.
