Chapter 31: The Great Army Pressed the Frontier
Nearly ten minutes have passed since the last exchange of fire.
Li Lingqi has completed the withdrawal of support troops.
As the commander of the support unit that personally chose this team of weapons composed entirely of crystal energy rifles.
Li Lingqi naturally knew the shortcomings of his own army.
In fact, the main application of the polarized crystal torrent is in space, not on the ground.
Although this energy attack is close to the speed of light, it is essentially a particle beam blast in the form of a laser, rather than a pure light strike.
As long as it is an impact, there is a huge loss of media.
From the fact that its original single-weapon rated range is only 700 meters, it can be known,
This loss of energy is extremely severe in the dusty air on the surface.
Therefore, it greatly limits the combat radius of his support force, making it impossible for him to strike at the enemy from a long distance.
And more importantly, polarized crystals have fatigue and wear in the case of long-term continuous combat!
In Li Lingqi's previous life, this kind of strike means, as the secondary gun of the Star Guard's warships, of course, did not have to worry about the problem of overheating and wear caused by the deviation of the POLS value.
This is because the recharge time of a high-energy weapon is enough to restore it to its original structure.
But these old-fashioned crystal energy rifles that Li Lingqi put together temporarily are different,
In order to maintain their power, they need to have a continuous output of energy, and the maximum output of these rifles to maintain a reactive POLS value is only three minutes!
This was the reason why he immediately maintained his weapons and retreated after the exchange of fire with Chizuki's main forces.
Even if he used the method of attacking in batches, after more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, more than half of his weapons had already reached the fatigue limit.
At this time, Li Lingqi suspected that the other party might have discovered this after losing several mecha in a row for testing!
Therefore, now that he has lost the main force, he has no other way but to hold on.
After the two troops that would return to the defense were deployed in steps, Li Lingqi received a communication from Qianyue.
"You surrender! It's already amazing to be able to do this!" said Chizuki directly in the dialogue video.
"Yes, I think I can do better!" Li Lingqi, who is a professional nerd, still has his own insistence.
At least, play games and never surrender, that's the bottom line.
"Don't be stubborn, I already know your weaknesses. Qianyue said directly,
"Your support forces can't keep attacking, can they?"
"Now I have a full 2,000 more assault troops and all kinds of assault weapons than you,"
"You should know that it's not difficult to maintain offensive pressure for a long time,"
"Even if there is no limit to the combos of those old energy rifles, how much energy will you have to expend?"
Li Lingqi frowned, the other party knew more than he imagined.
Chizuki also saw this from his projection, and smiled slightly in his heart.
In fact, she was just guessing, and if she could really know the exact result in such a short period of time, then she wouldn't need to call this communication.
"Maybe I have a secret weapon?"
Li Lingqi, whose hole cards were known, still did not agree to Qianyue's persuasion.
Although he is now inferior in strength, according to his calculations, there may not be no chance of turning the tables.
The success of the crystal torrent array made him realize that he was right,
Before and after the establishment of the Star Guard, there was still a certain degree of innovation in the way of fighting.
Therefore, if he wants to win, he who knows nothing about strategic command can only rely on these to have a chance to win!
"That's whatever you want!" Chizuki, who had already achieved her goal, did not continue to ramble and directly closed the communication between the two.
Although Sister Ling let herself accompany him to familiarize herself with strategic command, if she really wants to lose to a rookie, then she can't afford to lose this person.
Others may not know so much about her, but she herself doesn't know that she is the one who has infiltrated the Imperial Command Academy and won the triple A medal of the academy's annual assessment?
If she hadn't gotten a vital piece of information, she might even have a chance to become the Empire's youngest Marine Commander!
Less than a minute before the end of communication with Qianyue, the drone sent by Li Lingqi to conduct reconnaissance had already discovered the traces of Qianyue's troops.
In the smoke and dust, neat troops were marching towards the canyon where his headquarters was located.
Obviously, the other party has not been idle for more than ten minutes since the end of the firefight, and it is not just a phone call to chat with him.
At this moment, the three attacking forces of the enemy army have crossed a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, are located thirty kilometers from the valley, and are divided into two echelons in front and one behind for steady advance.
Ten defensive mobile suits guarded the flanks, and the large energy shield of the battlefield barrier in their hands was ready to be recharged.
Even if Li Lingqi immediately took a high-energy attack on such a steady march, I am afraid that the effect it could have would be very limited!
Grandiose!
At this time, Qianyue made it clear that he was using the advantage of numbers to crush Li Lingqi, who had lost the main force.
But he still has no way to dodge this kind of attack without the slightest room for maneuver, so he can only choose to resist stubbornly.
With the number of people at a disadvantage, he rashly moved the command and only lost faster.
And in a head-on battle, even if these 3,000 people just turned on their defenses and let him attack without fighting back, how many of his support troops could kill before the polarized crystals became fatigued?
At this time, Li Lingqi looked at the heavy firepower mecha unit that he was ambushed in the dense forest and was originally used as a big killing weapon.
Originally, he thought that the other party would choose to test it again, but he thought that the other party had already been overwhelmed by an army in about half an hour after the start.
If he can delay another half an hour, and the enemy launches a general attack on him in the next ten minutes,
His mecha unit, with support troops and high-energy strikes, could not fail to try to completely annihilate the opponent's 3,000 men.
It's a pity that just over ten minutes have passed now, and the thirty long-range crystal beam-type fire support mechs he selected are still too early to be fully charged.
But at this point, he had to interrupt the charge and let the mechs enter the preparatory stage for the crystal cannon to fire.
At the same time, he also sent 300 soldiers of the support unit to intercept the 500 attacking troops to a position fifteen kilometers away from the headquarters.
Because Li Lingqi could not watch the enemy's heavy firepower enter the attack range of ten kilometers.
Otherwise, he would probably have been able to experience what it was like to be bombarded into the sky in less than two seconds of fighting.
High in the air, the unmanned reconnaissance plane sent by Qianyue had already discovered Li Lingqi's troop movements, and also detected the energy reaction in the dense forest.
However, she didn't make any changes, just reminded everyone to be vigilant as they piloted the battlefield defense mechs.
At this time, she has an absolute advantage, and it is the best choice to adapt to all changes.
In the battle simulation room, Geng Bolin also stopped his analysis of the battle situation between the two and his explanation of Li Lingqi's mysterious support troops.
Quietly watching the battle between the two sides in the real-life sand table.
To be honest, although he knew that Qianyue was close to victory at this time. But he still expected that Li Lingqi's mobile suit ambushed in the dense forest could give him a bigger surprise.
