In the middle of the night, the fierce sound of gunfire still echoed over Manta City, and a dazzling particle cannonball streaked across the sky and fell into the city's buildings, turning into huge fireballs. From time to time, there are beams of yellow laser cannon beams, which suddenly drill out of the clouds of gunpowder smoke in the air, and fall down with a roar, and there are bursts of smoke and dust.

With the powerful firepower of the chariot mechs and the banshee fighters in the sky, the rebels finally took control of the entire battle in Manta City, surrounding the remnants of the expeditionary force in several dilapidated logistics bases. Despite the strong fortifications of the base, the soldiers of the expeditionary force still fought hard to resist the attack of the rebels. But there is no doubt that before dawn, the only thing that awaits them is a glorious death or a humiliating surrender.

The field hospital in the southeast corner of the city was dark and silent at this time. Except for a few broken gaps in the courtyard wall in the backyard, and the corpses of Marines and the wreckage of chariots in that place, there was no movement in the entire hospital. Occasionally, one or two Banshee fighters flew in the sky, and only through the infrared system, they hurriedly scanned the various buildings of the hospital, and then twisted their butts and flew to other places where the battle was raging.

As soon as those banshee fighters flew away, several figures emerged from the basement of the hospital, and several tactical spotlight beams shot from the CMC armor shone in all directions in a daze.

"Turn off all the tactical spotlights and turn on the night vision system inside the helmet!" Hao Yi, who was wearing the CMC armor with the rank of sergeant, looked up at the sky that was still covered by thick gunsmoke, and turned back to tell the people behind him.

The field hospital, which had many sick and wounded, had been evacuated to a nearby logistics base just before the rebels attacked. Catherine and a few female medical soldiers were about to go out with a group of wounded soldiers, but they were blocked by a burst of heavy artillery fire. In desperation, Catherine had to take the female soldiers and the wounded soldiers, trapped in the hospital and waiting for help, and it happened that Idil led a team of gendarmes to fight and retreat into the hospital. Then came everything Haoyi saw.

As the white tactical spotlights went out, a green and somewhat cold picture appeared inside the holographic helmet, which was the night vision system. Hao Yi held a rifle, looked at the movement in the backyard, and saw that there was no other moving shadow except for the motionless rebel corpses on the ground, so he beckoned to everyone behind him with confidence, and went to the gap in the back wall of the hospital.

On the street outside the hospital, from time to time, groups of rebel marines hurriedly drove by, surrounded by chariots and mechs. Most of the strongholds held by the soldiers of the expeditionary force in Zuihou were concentrated in the northern part of the city, but most of the city had been recaptured by the rebels.

Haoyi cautiously peeked out from the gap in the courtyard wall, looked at the streets with traces of gunfire everywhere, and after confirming that it was safe, he flashed out with Catherine and the others. In the advanced CMC armor holographic helmet system, a miniature map of Manta City is stored, and a few flashing red dots show the location of Hao Yi and the others.

Haoyi took out the map and took a cursory look, and then decided to take Catherine and the others to withdraw to the southeast mountain. Sooner or later, the rebels would send people to search the hospital where the remains of the chariots and the bodies of the rebel marines remained, and only by temporarily withdrawing from the city and hiding in the mountainous terrain could they wait for the main force of the expeditionary force to come back.

The group tried their best to pick those winding and deep alleys, and dodged and retreated out of the city. Although he was wearing the rebels' land armor, Haoyi didn't want to be caught by the rebels' other troops, and there was a chance that he would show his stuff again.

The night vision system clearly projected the ruins in those dark corners on the holographic helmet, and in the headset was the nervous breathing of Catherine and other female soldiers, Haoyi only felt that his hands with armor were moist, probably because of cold sweat. If it was just him and Hu Erfat, he wouldn't have to be so nervous and careful, he would have to arrogantly grab a rebel chariot and drive out of the city with a swagger. But behind him were Catherine's medical female soldiers who were a little clumsy and had not experienced much bloody battles, which made Haoyi have to be more cautious.

I don't know how long it took, everyone finally moved to the edge of Manta City, and seeing that after passing through a large avenue in front of them, they could directly enter the high ground next to Manta City, Hao Yi's heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Just as he was about to turn around and beckon the people behind him to rest for a while and accumulate some strength, Hao Yi suddenly heard a series of fierce gunfire from a street in the west, and his heart was shocked.

"Hide inside!" Hearing that the fierce gunfire seemed to be approaching this side, Hao Yi hurriedly pointed to a dilapidated warehouse next to him and said to everyone urgently.

Catherine and the others couldn't help but panic when they heard the sudden sound of gunfire, and when they heard Haoyi's order, they hurriedly stumbled into the warehouse. No sooner had they taken shape than they heard a series of violent explosions ringing through the street not far behind, and in the midst of the humble, there seemed to be a rapid rumbling sound and the roar of some kind of chariot engine.

"Mecha?" Listening to the somewhat familiar sound of stepping on the ground, Haoyi couldn't help frowning. I felt a faint tremor of the earth, and it was clear that it was a Marauder mech speeding wildly.

Before Haoyi could figure out what was going on, a buzzing fire assault vehicle roared into the eyes of everyone hiding in the shadows.

"Boom, boom!" A volley of rapid-fire laser cannons fired beams that almost grazed the fire assault vehicle, hitting the buildings next to the street. In a burst of smoke and dust, the red fire assault vehicle flashed out like a flame, and the single-engine roared desperately, driving the assault vehicle to this direction.

Although the logo on the body of the assault vehicle is not clear, there is no doubt that the assault vehicle must have provoked the rebels. Because Hao Yi knew that at this time, the expeditionary force in Manta City did not have a single large mecha at all, and even if there were a few scattered ones, I am afraid that they would have already been buried under the powerful firepower of the rebels.

Seeing the assault vehicle, twisting its body desperately, drawing a strange arc, dodging the artillery fire flying behind them, everyone unconsciously sweated for the assault vehicle.

"Boom!" Just as the assault vehicle tried to turn into an alley not far from Hao Yi and the others, a punisher grenade happened to land next to the trajectory of the assault vehicle, and a huge explosion violently knocked the assault vehicle to the ground, emitting a puff of green smoke.

"Prepare to save people!" Without any hesitation, Hao Yi raised his eyebrows and ordered in a cold voice.
