Chapter 735: Golden Cicada Escapes
Although the pirates' combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the regular army, they are not fools.
The accuracy of the mobile aircraft carrier's airborne radar is infinitely higher than that of the Manta. It may be difficult to detect when mixed with the wreckage, but as soon as the engine ignites, the other party will receive the engine signal.
After checking again, he found that this was not his own engine signal, and he immediately realized that someone was approaching sneakily.
Now that it has been discovered, there is no point in being sneaky. As Li Chengqi pushed the accelerator to the end, the Manta's engine switched from idle speed to full speed. The engine light that could not be concealed erupted from behind a piece of wreckage, and then the wreckage was swept away by a burst of fire. A string of shell hits.
As the Manta passes through the dust spread by the explosion, it will see three shuttles following behind it.
Under normal circumstances, Li Chengqi is completely right. In his opinion, the technical and tactical level of these pirates is probably not as good as the robots in the flight simulation game, but don't forget that there is a mobile aircraft carrier not far away, and there is a mobile aircraft carrier around it. A lot of shuttles were coming in and out.
Intensive anti-aircraft fire immediately struck from the side of the aircraft carrier. The shuttles that had originally taken off from the aircraft carrier and were preparing to rush to the front line also changed their directions and rushed towards the Manta Ray.
Under such a dense barrage with a large coverage area, even Li Chengqi could not avoid all the shells perfectly. Fang Lanyin was sitting in the cab, the red warning light flashed continuously, and the protection on the main control panel The "Shield Down" sound is almost like a ghost.
The only good news is that this airspace may have been on the front line of the battle not long ago, but with the advancement of pirates, the front line has been pushed forward.
Therefore, the wreckage of various carrier-based aircraft and even large ships are everywhere here. If you look carefully, you might even see a corpse floating in the void or something.
These wreckage helped Li Chengqi block a large number of artillery shells. If it were an open airspace, he would definitely not be in trouble even if he was not destroyed.
Li Chengqi felt like he was driving a train. He was running in front and a large group of shuttles were chasing him.
The communication channel was filled with the pirates' yelling and obscene words. It felt like these guys might have taken something before setting off.
The first way Li Chengqi thought of to escape was to use his ability to jump.
However, when I chose to jump on the ability panel, the screen prompted, 'There is interference from a large ship's engine nearby and the jump cannot be performed.'
For a large ship with the ability to jump, its magic rudder can release a force field that blocks space teleportation. If you want to break through this force field, you must cover it with a larger magic rudder.
Therefore, in fleet battles, tonnage is everything.
There were not only pirate ships but also Planetary Defense ships around. This force field was very uncomfortable.
After all, the shuttle itself should not have the ability to jump. Li Chengqi speculated that the science fiction script may be related to the space godhead, so he can use it, but it is obvious that this godhead has not been completely recovered, otherwise it would not be restrained by the interference force field.
No matter what, trying to teleport away is definitely not possible.
I was cautious and sneaky when I came here, but I went back with all my power.
The good news is that Li Chengqi has flown out of the range of the mobile aircraft carrier's anti-aircraft guns, but the bad news is that the number of pirate shuttles behind him has approached thirty...
"The Planetary Defense Force's space fighter formation is ahead. It's safe to join them!"
As Fang Lanyin said, Li Chengqi also saw that the engine light belonging to the Planetary Defense Force was clearly visible in the airspace ahead. They should have pushed the front back.
After all, the Planetary Defense Force uses retired military supplies, which has a generational advantage compared to the pirates' rags. They were caught off guard at first, but now that they have calmed down, they are ready to punch the pirates in the face. And at this critical moment, a row of ion beams struck from diagonally and directly behind.
Li Chengqi saw it and maneuvered to avoid it. However, the ion beam that he could clearly avoid deflected as the machine body shook.
Don't forget, the Manta's attitude stabilizer was not pressed, and Li Chengqi had been manually trimming it during this period.
And because of the manual operation, the fuselage will not be able to maintain stable flight when maneuvering at a large angle, but will swing or shake.
The pirate shuttle's attacks were not obvious before when there were few attacks, but now it is too deadly to have such an attack.
Fang Lanyin felt the shuttle tremble, and even heard the sound of metal tearing, and the sound of Li Chengqi smacking his lips in displeasure. Then the shuttle seemed to be completely unable to control its direction and fell into spin.
Unseen from the cockpit, Li Chengqi could see very clearly that two ion beams hit the left wing of the Manta, one blasting away the shield, and the other tearing apart the connection between the wing and the belly. Got a hole.
Li Chengqi swung the control stick left and right, adjusted the engine output with the throttle lever, and successfully recovered from the spin. However, the shuttle that could not be trimmed just now was flying crookedly. Let alone any maneuvers, it could fly back in a straight line. It's not easy.
"Set the mine fuse to two seconds, quick!"
Fang Lanyin held her head, which was dazed by the shaking, and trembled when she heard this. She quickly tapped the console to set the mine fuse.
The Manta Ray, flying crookedly, got behind the wreckage of a large ship. The pirate shuttle following closely behind it was just about to catch up when it saw an orange flash of light erupt.
It looked like the wreckage of the Manta Ray that had been hit had self-destructed. The pirate's shuttle flew around the wreckage twice and only saw some fragments scattered by the explosion.
Little did they know that the Manta Ray was in a posture that could be compared to being buried in the wreckage, no more than twenty meters away from the pirate shuttle.
At this time, the Manta Ray had turned off all engines and lights. Fang Lanyin raised her head and peeked out of the front window of the cockpit. She could clearly see the graffiti on the fuselage of the pirate shuttle.
It is very dangerous at this time. As long as the pirate shuttle turns on its high beam and shines a little light, the Manta Ray will be unable to hide.
But before he turned on the remote lights, a string of machine gun shells came from the side, forcing the pirates to form a battle formation and immediately move away from the wreckage.
The Planetary Defense Force's space fighter flew by dragging its engine light in the next moment. Fang Lanyin breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Chengqi on the other side of the screen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Using a mine to create an explosion is not only to create a smoke bomb to fake death, but also to attract the Planetary Defense Force.
As I said just now, the battle line is advancing in the direction of the Manta. An explosion flash here will definitely attract the attention of the Planetary Defense Force.
Li Chengqi slowly released the joystick and turned off the fire button that had been turned on.
If the pirate shuttle had turned on its high beam just now, he would have opened fire immediately, but that would have been directly exposed. Fortunately, the Planetary Defense Force arrived quickly.
