A hole appeared in the bow of the ship, a hole that was torn apart. The outer diameter of the hole was one meter wide and cracked.
This is enough to show that the defense of the spacecraft is not as strong as they imagined.
It's a pity that there is only one rocket.
"Walk……"
With a loud roar, the four of them turned around and continued running wildly on the snow.
In the sky on the left side behind the four people, the stable spacecraft rushed towards the four people again.
The golden light shone, and a golden stream of light shot out again, instantly crossing a distance of several hundred meters and striking towards the four of them.
"boom……"
The heavy cavalry guard on the far left was hit immediately and exploded at the moment of contact.
Although the distance between the four people was not close, it was not far either. A powerful shock wave swept across the surroundings, and the flames mixed with metal devoured the three of them.
The three people who were running stumbled and immediately fell to the ground, flipping over on their backs.
When the sky-high soil fell and the flames dissipated, only three of the four heavy mounted guards were left. One of them was reduced to parts, and the wreckage was scattered on the ground.
"How's everything going? Let me know..."
With a drop of cold sweat on his cheeks, Huang Lei controlled the heavy cavalry to stand up from the dirt.
A huge crater suddenly appeared on the ground beside him. Looking around, Huang Lei only saw two heavy cavalry guards, which made Huang Lei feel nervous.
"Chen Si is finished, he was hit..."
Huang Lei received a response, and the two heavy cavalry guards who had fallen to the ground stood up one by one.
"Huang Lei, we can't run anymore, we have to fight with them..."
Picking up the rifle from the ground, Huang Lei had a solemn look on his face.
In the sky behind them, the spaceship had already caught up and stopped floating a hundred meters in the sky.
Looking up at the spaceship in the sky, Huang Lei said in a deep voice: "They will scatter after a while. If they want to chase, they can only chase one person. Let's go..."
Before the words "Go" could be heard, something strange suddenly appeared in the sky.
The engines roared, and three "Little Bird" armed helicopters rushed out from the extreme temperature layer thousands of meters above the ground.
As soon as it appeared, the fire flickered and a buzzing roar pierced the heaven and earth.
A series of flames plummeted to the ground and rushed towards the spacecraft.
Those were rockets, small-caliber rockets fired from the rocket nest.
The spaceship in the sky also spotted the incoming enemy. Its sails shone with bursts of golden light. The spacecraft suddenly accelerated and avoided the rockets coming from the sky.
The rocket that lost its target crashed into the ground, and a dense explosion suddenly occurred on the ground, with clouds of fireballs rising up.
At the same time, the cannon of the "Little Bird" armed helicopter that rushed towards the spacecraft opened fire, and fire dragons attacked the spacecraft one after another.
Outnumbered, the spacecraft immediately chose to evacuate, drawing a half circle in the sky at an extremely fast speed, and quickly moved away in the direction it came from.
Looking at the departing spaceship, before Huang Lei had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Meng's voice rang out from the communicator.
"This is not the end. Go to the ground base immediately and prepare to withdraw the airship. I have terminated the search mission."
His face changed slightly, and Huang Lei responded loudly: "Yes!"
"Let's go back to the base, go back to the base immediately, quickly!"
On the snowy field, the three of them continued to run wildly towards the direction of the base.
At the same time, the mercenaries participating in the search mission in the search area received orders from Li Meng to abort the mission and return to base.
For a time, mercenaries participating in the search mission gathered from all directions towards the base.
In the airship bridge, the atmosphere also became tense.
Sitting on the captain's chair, Li Meng raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "The airship immediately lowered its height, left the extreme temperature layer, and accurately picked up the personnel who were out on the search mission."
After finishing speaking, Li Meng said to Zhao Yuyan at the bottom: "Zhao Yuyan, let all the "Vulture" transport aircraft prepare to leave the ship. They must pick up the people on the ground in the shortest possible time."
Following Li Meng's order, the engine roared and the clouds were disturbed above the base. The huge airship slowly appeared from the clouds, and finally left the clouds completely.
As it left the clouds, the gates of the harbors on both sides of the airship opened wide, and the "Vulture" transport planes flew out of the gates and rushed toward the ground base.
An emergency evacuation operation immediately began.
"Quick, okay, okay, take off, you can take off..."
The mercenaries who had gone out on a search mission had not yet returned, so the "Vulture" transport plane that landed first carried out recovery operations on the base.
Each container was hung under the belly of the "Vulture" transport plane and transported back to the airship.
While more than a dozen "Vulture" transport planes were busy carrying out recovery operations, Zhao Hongwen was not idle and organized more than 20 heavy cavalry guards to set up defenses on the snowy fields north of the base.
Just as the mercenaries of the GYB-0 security company were evacuating urgently, on the southern city wall of the Holy City, the figures of silver-helmeted soldiers surged and boarded the sailing ships amidst the sound of clanking footsteps.
At that moment, on the dock, metal sails spread out, and golden lines shone on the hull.
There was no roar of engines, only the brilliance of metal shining. One spaceship after another took off and flew over the city wall. Twenty sailboats formed an eight-formation formation in the sky hundreds of meters away, and quickly moved away towards the southern sky.
.
The sailboat was captured by the airship's radar as soon as it took off.
Looking at the twenty flying objects that suddenly appeared on the radar screen, Zhao Yufang said quickly: "Captain, there are twenty flying units taking off about twenty kilometers to the north of us, and they are approaching at high speed.
The speed is very fast, about 875 kilometers per hour, and it is expected to arrive in a few minutes."
Frowning slightly, Li Meng asked Zhao Yuyan: "Zhao Yuyan, how is the evacuation going?"
Zhao Yuyan quickly replied: "Captain, most of the teams are on their way back to the base. It will take at least several hours to evacuate all personnel."
It's too late...
Without hesitation, Li Meng said in a deep voice: "Immediately notify the search team that has not returned to the base and let them hide on the spot and wait for rescue."
Zhao Yuyan looked stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and said quickly: "Yes!"
Zhao Yuyan knew that when the enemy attacked, they would not have enough time to wait for the search team to return to the base. The search teams were now scattered everywhere, and it would not be easy for the enemy to find them. The airship could evacuate first and wait until they were out of the enemy's sight.
A "Vulture" transport plane was sent out to conduct covert operations and rescue the search teams who were out one by one.
"Also, let Zhao Hongwen retreat immediately. We cannot fight this battle and cannot win it,"
Li Meng would not be so stupid as to continue to fight even though he knew he could not beat him.
Although the military power possessed by this airship is not weak, it also depends on what kind of enemy it faces.
Facing those shelters, small settlements are naturally not a problem, but facing the enemies encountered this time seems a bit inadequate.
Although there are a large number of "Little Bird" armed helicopters, the weapons equipped with "Little Bird" armed helicopters are suitable for dealing with ground units, but not suitable for dealing with air units. Li Meng does not want to use "Little Bird" armed helicopters to fight the enemy.
If we were to fight an air battle, we would definitely suffer heavy losses.
