Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 37 Maneuvering and Evasion!

On the deck, Lao Zhou and his men quickly took their positions in front of the cannons and heavy machine guns.

After loading the shells, gunner Ning Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave a thumbs-up as he began to calculate the enemy's distance, wind speed, and humidity in front of the Frost Cannon.

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

On the street, two convoys were speeding along, escorting the Tomorrow.

In the ruins of the city, two steel behemoths slowly advanced, their heavy tracks crushing concrete, and billowing steam and thick smoke gushing from their exhaust valves.

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

Tomorrow fired first.

The sharp sound of shells tearing through the air shattered the tranquility of the ruins. Four ordinary cannons fired simultaneously, and shells streaked across the sky, landing near the Scarlet Hound.

At the same time, the other side opened fire.

The shells exploded around both sides with a loud whistling sound.

The shockwave ripped off the steel plates surrounding the two mobile cities, flames erupted, and smoke billowed.

“The Crimson Hound has a full eight ordinary cannons. It would be too disadvantageous to engage it head-on.” Li Ye immediately made a decision. “Tang Fang, begin maneuvering to evade!”

Maneuvering to avoid danger.

This refers to the tactical maneuver of a mobile city using engine power, track/wheel steering, and center of gravity adjustment to evade enemy fire or seize advantageous tactical positions in advance.

Because mobile cities are large and difficult to maneuver, they often require advance planning and precise engineering coordination.

This is why helmsmen are so important to mobile cities.

evasive maneuvers such as sharp track turns, serpentine propulsion, and tilting of the center of gravity all severely test the helmsman's skill and judgment.

In the wasteland, maneuvering evasion has an extremely elegant name.
"The Dance of Steel".

As another salvo of shells came crashing down, Tang Fang abruptly pulled down the control stick and twisted the rudder hard.

In an instant, Tomorrow's starboard tracks locked, while its port side accelerated at full speed. The entire moving city drifted laterally with a screeching metallic scraping sound, and its daring maneuvers allowed it to dodge several shells.

"It's a success!" Ah Bai exclaimed in surprise as he watched the fireworks explode one after another behind him.

Tang Fang felt no joy at this moment; instead, he was covered in cold sweat and clenched his teeth.

From the moment he was appointed helmsman, he had always harbored a sense of wishful thinking.

I'm lucky that I have a great talent for driving, I'm lucky that maybe a better helmsman will take my place in the future, and I'm lucky that my future driving journeys will be smooth sailing.
It was only at this moment that he truly realized the responsibilities of a helmsman.

The direction of the entire mobile city rests in your hands; everyone trusts you.

And you hold the lives of each and every one of them in your hands.

As he pondered, Tang Fang took a deep breath, his gaze gradually becoming calm.

"Continue with maneuvering evasive maneuvers!"

Two mobile cities traverse the urban ruins, using the staircases and buildings within the ruins as cover, and take turns firing.

The Scarlet Hound continued to accelerate, relentlessly pursuing its target.

"It's preparing to close the distance and engage in a duel!" Li Ye realized.

Duel.

It is a very simple and brutal tactic unique to mobile cities.

This is a scenario where two mobile cities are engaged in a fierce firefight at extremely close range, using heavy machine guns and artillery on their respective decks.

Meanwhile, the combatants on deck would board the enemy's deck and fight to the death with firearms and melee weapons. These battles were extremely fierce and brutal, often decided within a minute.

It is also often referred to as "the game of the brave".

Li Ye naturally wouldn't engage in a duel with the Scarlet Hound.

The enemy has a total of 8 ordinary artillery pieces, 14 ordinary heavy machine guns, 2 level 1 artillery pieces, plus 96 combat personnel, giving them an absolute advantage in the duel!

With a command from Li Ye, Tomorrow accelerated, and the two mobile cities maintained a distance from each other.

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

"The enemy convoy is catching up! Prepare for battle!"

At that moment, the four convoys of the Scarlet Hound were already speeding towards them from afar. The convoy members held guns and rocket launchers, casually leaning their shoulders against the car windows, with a sinister smile on their lips.

In battles between two mobile cities, they often choose to maintain a certain distance, shelling each other with artillery and maneuvering to evade each other.

This situation will remain deadlocked for a long time, and at this point, the team will play a crucial role.

Both mobile cities will send out convoys to advance towards each other's mobile cities.

The convoys were often equipped with heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and rifles, and their primary objective was to...
Destroy the tracks and tires of the enemy's mobile city to paralyze its movement.

Once the mobile city's movement is paralyzed, it will be unable to maneuver or evade, and may even become a sitting duck.

Immediately afterwards, enemy shells would land precisely on its deck.

Some new convoy members wondered why, if they could advance to the vicinity of the enemy's mobile city, they wouldn't concentrate their firepower on the enemy's driver's cab, fuel compartment, or ammunition depot.
The reason is simple: the fuel compartments and ammunition depots of the mobile city are located inside the core, making them impossible to hit.

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

Furthermore, the mobile city deck is a good five or six meters above the ground. Even if members of the convoy lean out of the car windows with their guns raised high, they might not be able to hit it.

Moreover, at close range, the convoy would be subjected to heavy machine gun fire from the enemy's mobile city, which was extremely dangerous.

At this very moment, the first and second teams of Tomorrow began to engage the opposing team.

Multiple SUVs weaved and chased each other through the streets and alleys, firing shots.

Although outnumbered, Tomorrow's convoy consisted of Tier 1 off-road vehicles equipped with Tier 1 rocket launchers, while their opponents only had standard-level vehicles.

Therefore, in a close-range volley of fire, Tomorrow's second convoy suffered minor losses, while Scarlet Hound's off-road vehicle was overturned by a rocket.

On the deck, gunner Ning Wenzheng was intently calculating the distance.

"We only have two shells left. We have to hit them, we have to hit them!" he muttered.

To achieve a decisive victory, we must rely on this Frost Cannon.

Currently, Ning Wen has the authority to fire the artillery.

Just minutes ago, he fired the Frost Cannon.

The shell was evaded by the Scarlet Hound's maneuver and struck a building to its left, instantly turning it into an ice sculpture.

This mistake sent a shiver down Ning Wen's spine.

What made him break out in a cold sweat even more was that the two Tier 1 cannons of the Scarlet Hound were already ready, and the two gunners were calculating the distance.

Ning Wen was well aware that they also wanted to deliver a fatal blow.

With two booming sounds, the two level 1 cannons opened fire simultaneously.
