Chapter 178 Waiting
"Stop!"

"Down with the Rolling Stones!"

"Quickly, throw down the son-mother mine!"

The city guard of Dongluo County kept yelling with a ferocious face.

Rolling stones and thunderbolts, after the golden juice was almost used up, continued to smash down the city.

Dongluo County is not big, and there are more than 1 people living in the county, and the golden juice is not endless, and it will run out soon.

After mobilizing the common people in the city to help the general's battalion, the son and mother Lei, and the prepared defense equipment were moved to the city wall, the more intense defense battle began.

Although these Rangers of the Northern Man were strengthened and became so-called "God Warriors", they did not really become "Gods".

One by one, each of the mother mines, which contained about 50 grams of concentrated explosives and were stuffed with iron sheets, was ignited and thrown at the Beiman warriors who were building the human ladder.

The god warriors who had just been scalded by the hot golden juice, whose bodies were bloody and bloody, and then experienced hundreds of thousands of thunder blasts, finally suffered casualties.

Thick arms were blasted into the sky, and blood was sprayed on the city wall, filling it with more blood.

"what!!!"

"Rush! Let me rush! Kill the city wall and slaughter all the Ming people!"

The leader of this northern barbarian thousand-man team had unbearable anger in his eyes, and he yelled to tell the sons to hurry up!
This team is the last essence of their tribe.

Losing any of them would make him very sad!

After being defeated by another tribe on the grassland, their tribe is already on the verge of being completely annexed by other tribes!
This is also the reason why he dared to be evil and brought all the elites to trouble the Ming people.

Has been cornered!
But because of this, he couldn't see his tribe's elite fighters being lost to the Ming people.

If in Dongluo County, more than half of the elite fighters on hand were lost, then Dongluo County would be breached and all the grain and livestock stored in the county would be seized.

After his own tribe survived this difficult winter, they still couldn't avoid being annexed.

It takes at least 15 years to cultivate a warrior capable of fighting on the grassland from birth to adulthood!

And their tribe obviously can't wait for 15 years!

In the grassland, once you expose your weakness, you will definitely be swallowed up by other tribes!
Being weak is the original sin in the grassland!

In order to minimize the battle damage, he had brought the only priests in the tribe.

You know, this kind of behavior is extremely dangerous on the grassland!
One, the people of this tribe have no priests to protect them now. If other tribes happen to encounter them, they will be slaughtered like sheep!
Second, if he brought all the priests to attack the Ming people and encountered a large army of Ming people, once they were wiped out, the priestly inheritance of the tribe would be completely cut off.

This means that their tribe has fundamentally perished.

In the future, even if there are people from the tribe rising again, they will not be able to get the help of any priests.

From generation to generation, they can only serve as vassals of other powerful tribes, or even completely integrate into other tribes.

Their "Nayan Tribe" will completely disappear in this world!
But even though the risk was so great, he still brought out the only priest of the tribe.

This is not an ordinary robbery that Daning often encounters, but a robbery that puts all the hopes and future of the Nayan tribe on the line!
In Dongluo County, it is a bit difficult to persevere.

Fifteen miles away from Dongluo County, there is a half-grassland, half-Gobi area.

A convoy of a hundred steam transport vehicles, under the searchlight of two huge kerosene lamps at the front of the vehicle, is rushing on the road wearing the stars and the moon.

In each of the last fifty cars, ten well-dressed heavy armored soldiers sat.

The steam boilers on their backs were emitting a faint red light.

This means their steam boilers are only running at a minimum.

It was also because of this that the heavily armored soldiers sitting in the car hardly moved.

It's not that they don't want to move, it's that the power of the steam armor has not been fully activated now, and it is very difficult for them to move.

The advantage of this is that it can maximize the combat time of the steam armor.

Daming's steam armor is good everywhere, but it has two shortcomings.

One is relatively cumbersome, and it was difficult to move with high mobility before the steam transport vehicle appeared.

After all, this thing weighs more than 200 kilograms!
Even if you don't wear it, take it off and transport it, it won't go anywhere.

Another problem is that there is a limit on combat time, although this thing can be driven forever as long as fuel is put in.

But after all, the boiler is on the back, and there is heat conduction.

Humans cannot continue to fight in high temperatures.

After all of them practiced the exercises of body training, Daming's heavy armored soldiers could only fight in steam armor for four hours at most at a time.

However, this problem does not bother Daming too much, at least not as big as the first problem.

Generally speaking, four hours is enough to fight a battle with the Northern Barbarians head-on.

Regardless of defeat or victory, they will withdraw their troops with gold and prepare for the second melee.

Moreover, Daming provided heavy armor soldiers with two sets of steam armor in rotation, so this difficulty could still be overcome.

But now that there are steam transport vehicles, after rapid deployment and support can be carried out, improving the continuous combat capability of heavy armor is a problem that needs attention.

After all, it would take an hour or two to move quickly in a steam transport vehicle.

And in many cases, it is impossible to wear armor after arriving at the location.

After all, as long as you start to send troops, you have already entered the battle, and an encounter may occur at any time. After the encounter, you will wear armor and warm the boiler, and the day lily will be cold.

So in order to allow the heavy armored soldiers to go into battle at any time during the support process, Moyuan added a valve to all steam armors to adjust the power output.

Usually, when it is necessary to rush to other places for support by car, the power is adjusted to a low output, which is similar to warming up the engine. It will only maintain a warm level, and the soldiers cannot move around while sitting in the car.

Once you want to fight, you can adjust it to high power with a slight adjustment, and it only takes two to three minutes to go into battle.

This is four or five times faster than the previous steam armor that needed to be warmed up for a quarter of an hour before use!
On the battlefield, time is life!
If you can start it faster and go into battle, the sword and shield hand that blocks the enemy will be able to sacrifice less!
Out of a hundred military transport vehicles, in each of the first fifty, there are twenty swordsmen and musketeers!

Once encountering the enemy, these people are the first line of defense against the enemy!
They want to prevent any enemy from hurting the heavy armor before the heavy armor is activated!

At this time, every soldier sitting in the car sat calmly in the car without saying a word.

They are all waiting.

Wait for the battle to begin!
