Chapter 664, Can't Be Hard-Talking
The Titans' movements looked quite slow from a distance. But in fact, they would take dozens of meters at a time. The Titans of both sides were still firing at each other with long-range weapons, but a moment later, the two steel behemoths collided fiercely.
Titans' close-range fighting requires more control.
At the beginning of the battle, Gu Zhouhua had already destroyed three enemy armored giants.
The heavy artillery equipped on the 'Warlord-class' Titans is extremely powerful. The main gun equipped on Gu Zhouhua's Titan is a laser cannon. This laser cannon, which cost a lot of money to build, can even be regarded as a reduced version of the M-class melting light spear in terms of power. Without such a large attack range, the Titans cannot use it; without such a large destructive power, they cannot bear it. However, the concentration of the light spear is more concentrated, and while it is much thinner, the damage that can be caused to the area hit by the light spear is no less than that of 'melting'.
Under the attack of such weapons, the energy shields and void shields used by those large Titans can still withstand it, but ordinary knight mechas are really not able to do so.
The target targeted by Gu Zhouhua suffered a major blow. For example, a small knight mecha like the squire class, with one shot, both the shield and the mecha itself were written off.
Even a standard knight mecha like the ranger class is not small, but with one shot, the energy shield is directly overloaded, and it is the kind of overload that cannot be repaired and the shield generator explodes. Then, there is no need for the main gun to bombard it. The operator responsible for the weapon system can destroy it with one shot from the secondary gun.
That's how the three records came about.
But the powerful warlord-class Titan cannot always be used to fight such small things.
Gu Zhouhua's Titan is one of the fastest large Titans in the entire legion, and it should have been subjected to the enemy's concentrated fire.
In fact, not far from Gu Zhouhua, a warlord-class Titan had already fallen.
It's not that the void shield is not powerful, nor is the armor not thick enough, it's just that it's being targeted and attacked, no matter how strong it is, it can't withstand it.
Of course, there are also warlord-class Titans falling on the opposite side.
Gu Zhouhua is not so unlucky, and he has not become the biggest target of the enemy's concentrated fire. But despite this, the fierce artillery fire has turned his void shield into the most dangerous purple-red color, and it is about to overload.
At this juncture, under his constant urging, the operator responsible for the power has already made the engine smoke. The entire warlord-class Titan rushed into the enemy formation first, and its target was an enemy war dog-class.
Under the fierce collision, both sides stopped in an instant.
At this time, Gu Zhouhua can be regarded as a little relieved. After being caught in close combat, the enemy's artillery fire can never focus on him. Even if the enemy insists on fighting regardless of friendly casualties, there is a war dog in front of him.
However, he had to pick up the breath he just breathed out again.
Is close combat easy and simple?
Even if the opponent is just a war dog, you can't be careless.
In close combat, the void shield is useless!
When he was still a trainee, he knew that wielding a melee weapon, slowly passing through the void shield, and then speeding up to cut and hit the enemy. He didn't believe that the Titan operator on the opposite side didn't know.
Even if the infected driver on the opposite side has lost his brain, he actually just lacks some flexibility and executes orders rigidly. They will still think, after all, their brains have been eaten - at least not completely eaten, and they can still work normally.
In some cases, it is an advantage, but in this kind of high-precision weapon operation and confrontation with top equipment, lack of "humanity" is fatal.
The War Dog Titan can only rigidly try to stand up and rigidly smash the weapon on Gu Zhouhua's Titan.
But Gu Zhouhua, as if he had a sudden inspiration, issued several instructions in succession. The power group canceled the balance control of the machine soul, operated the legs alone, and exerted force to knock the War Dog down. Following the trend, the weapons team blasted the huge power fist on its head.
If one punch didn't solve it, then a few more punches would be thrown until the entire War Dog-class Titan was smashed.
During this process, Gu Zhouhua, as the commander of the Titan, no longer paid attention to the enemy in front of him, but retrieved the information of the entire battle situation in front and on the side from the observation system.
What he was most worried about was that when he knocked the enemy down and pressed him under his body to beat him up, he would be concentrated by other firepower.
When the void shield was close to overload, they were actually quite fragile.
What reassured him was that the enemy did not aim at him. Only a few firepower hit him, and the void shield on the verge of overload still blocked 30% of the firepower. The remaining 70% made the Titan shake, but the strong enough armor and the structural strength of the Titan itself still allowed them to hold on, and even the damage was not great.
The reason for this was, of course, not that the enemy showed mercy, but at this moment, the two sides had already made large-scale contact.
The war machines, surrounded by their comrades on both sides, rushed up and collided with each other.
The collision of steel and steel made a deafening roar. These steel giants, which were more than ten meters tall or even dozens of meters tall, strangled each other in a primitive and cruel way.
The huge chainsaw sword tore the steel apart;
The power fist with unparalleled power smashed the body;
The gun barrel extended into the inner layer of the energy shield and fired at the face;
In this area, which is not too big from a distance, the fierce fighting between hundreds of steel behemoths is rare.
Even the Ortopis Chapter Master Salilius, who has fought in many places in the entire empire and is well-informed, has to admit that this war is almost like the classic battles in ancient records.
From the perspective of the entire empire's history, in such a narrow area, such intensive Titan battles, and battles where both sides fought to the death are not uncommon, but they are not many.
He couldn't help but ask the person next to him: "Sage Barnes, what do you think of this Titan Legion of the Alliance? Have you changed your evaluation a few days ago?"
Barnes was silent for a long time.
He came from Mars, from the headquarters of the Mechanicus, and came as the chief consultant of Salilius and even the entire Western Front Legion.
A few days ago, when the Alliance Titans attacked, he gave a four-word evaluation:
"Nothing special."
At that time, he was still a little arrogant, "I come from the center of the empire and have seen Titan corps that are much stronger than this."
But now, he couldn't say it.
Perhaps, the number of Titan corps that the Martian Mechanicus can directly mobilize is much larger than this. However, how many years has it been since the Martian Titan Corps fought a similar war? It is often good enough to put a few Titans on a battlefield and crush the enemy.
There are not many people on Mars who have similar experience in large-scale battles between Titans like this.
At least he himself has never seen it.
At this point, he can't be stubborn.
He can only cough twice and say: "It's still good."
Salilus chuckled and sighed: "If it weren't for the help of the Alliance, we would never be able to defeat this kind of battle today with only dozens of Titans and knights in our hands."
