Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

234 Tank
The wind and sand outside the pass blocked Daming's army. When the Chagatai Khanate heard the news, the Khan was so excited that he jumped up.

"God help me, Daming's army is nothing more than this, God help me too, Timurid Empire's eastern frontier is completely defeated, given time we can take Timur's Empire, then Daming, hum, will also be our horses. minister."

"The great Khan is mighty and mighty, and the great Khan is assisted by heaven. It is Genghis Khan who is alive, and the great Khan is mighty and mighty."

"Khan is mighty!"

"The order goes on. All the eastern troops will go to the mother of Weilu. No matter what, you must guard the mother of Weilu. The enemy has been punished by the gods and is definitely not our army's opponent."

"Yes, sweat."

As soon as the Ming army came out, the people of the Ming Dynasty were frightened, but the people in Chagatai were very happy. Although they were upset, they were still enduring in front of Tianwei.

……

As the days passed, Zhu Zhanchang was busy with official business, and basically had an in-depth meeting with Zara in two days.

In this way, several months have passed without knowing it. In June, the temperature has increased dramatically, and the sun here is extremely vicious and scorching hot.

On this day, Zhu Gaojiu came to Suzhou from Jiayuguan, and followed Zhu Zhanchang to the factory with a serious face.

Zhu Zhanchang didn't block it, and didn't make a fool of himself. He directly placed an iron lump in front of him, the latest armored chariot.

Looking at the chariot in front of him, Zhu Gaojiao said dissatisfiedly: "Zhanchang, your iron guy is not as powerful as your big brother, and the wheels haven't moved much?"

Call me all the way to show me this thing?

Zhu Zhanchang's armored vehicle is also an improvement on the basis of the locomotive, but unlike Zhu Zhanji's complete use of the locomotive as power, they redesigned a set of smaller steam engines and placed them inside as power, which also reduced the model. Heavy, use with less power.

There is only one gun barrel on the entire body, and the gun barrel does not look thick enough, which is also for weight reduction.

A certain amount of firepower was sacrificed in exchange for mobility.

"Second uncle, you have already read the report of the arrival of the eldest brother's Vulcan armored vehicle on the battlefield."

"Looked."

"On the real battlefield, the eldest brother's Vulcan armored vehicle is too large and heavy, and the wheels can't bear it. Two of them are lying on their backs. When one is driven up, it can indeed be like a steel fortress in the cavalry team, but when it hits the cavalry team, After a while, I was lying in the nest, and if the mobility cannot be guaranteed, it will have the same effect as taking an iron plate to the battlefield to build an iron fort."

Zhu Gaojiu still felt that this thing was too petty: "But this one is too small, it looks like it doesn't have enough firepower."

Although it is smaller than Zhu Zhanji's Vulcan armored vehicle, the actual size is already very large, and in order to reduce the weight, Zhu Zhanchang also reduced the thickness of the armored iron plate, because the armored vehicle of this era does not need to withstand bullets and artillery fire, as long as it blocks the sword. The bow and arrow are just fine, the thickness is reduced, and the overall weight of the vehicle will be reduced a lot.

"Second uncle, how about this, how about you bring a 20-man cavalry team and let's check this armored vehicle?"

"Okay." Zhu Gaojiu agreed with one sip. This armored vehicle, which does not look very powerful, is not as deterrent as Zhu Zhanji's Vulcan armored vehicle.

Outside the city of Suzhou, I found a deserted place. Zhu Gaoxu brought his 20 guards, all of whom were riding tall horses, equipped with well-equipped swords and bows. Because it was an experimental battle, there was no need for Akasiqi and grenades. For weapons like shotguns, tanks don't really fire, so there's no need to fight to the death.

With the ignition of the steam engine, it took a little time for the armored vehicle to start. After it started, three soldiers got into the armored vehicle, one operated the vehicle, one operated the gun barrel, the other was responsible for reporting points, and pretended to take a handful of Akka Forty-seven. Responsible for clearing approaching enemies.

"Can't you run without wheels?" Zhu Gaojiu smiled disdainfully.

But as the steam rose, the steel monster in front of him really moved, and with the rotation of the crawler, it officially started.

"It's really moving, what kind of wheels are those, how can it be moved like an iron chain?"

"Drive, let me move." Zhu Gaojiu waved the whip to make the horses run.

The speed of horses is still faster than that of armored vehicles, but Zhu Gaojiao looked at the armored vehicles that could move. Now this speed is faster than that of infantry, which is enough to surprise him, and Zhu Zhanchang showed people that the armored vehicles have excellent mobility.

The crawler travel system has been continuously researched in the past few months, and it has been continuously improved to the present. The lower body of the armored vehicle is a crawler body and a steam engine purely for traveling, and the upper part is a place for people to sit and cannons, which can be carried out 180 degrees. Rotation, but the speed is relatively slow, and there is no way to solve it very well. Basically, it can only hit the range directly in front.

"Encircle the little ones." Zhu Gaojiu came to the interest and asked the soldiers to surround the chariot on horses.

At this time, a small piece of iron was opened, and an Aka forty-seven was stretched out, aiming at the cavalry, and the cavalry hurriedly slapped the horse to avoid it, but this would not really shoot, just to tell you that we also have self-protection measures after getting close.

A mobile armored fortress that can be attacked and defended, Zhu Gaojiu thought about its power on the battlefield. When the enemy did not have the heavy firepower of ours, there was no way to take him.

Although it looks small, it is not powerful enough, but it is very practical.

After the acting stopped, Zhu Gaojiu got off the horse and chopped the crawler with a knife, because most of it was iron, and it left traces when he chopped it down.

"This is really armed to the wheel, okay, boy, it is you."

"Second uncle, how is it, this guy is okay."

"It can be very good, and the speed is very fast. It is equivalent to a moving fort. Build it, build it quickly."

Zhu Zhanchang wouldn't have been praised like this: "The heat dissipation of the steam engine is a big problem. If it is running at high speed, the people inside will not be able to stay for a quarter of an hour, and the weather itself is very hot now."

This problem cannot be solved simply by using a steam engine.

"We'll talk about this later, we'll build a few units first, and let's go to the battlefield. After so long, we still haven't taken down a city. Although your eldest brother Vulcan armored vehicle is not of much use, it has been used since the beginning of the year. Many people have been beheaded, and many tribes have been destroyed, so we have nowhere to go."

"Second Uncle, in addition to this one, there are five more tanks in this batch. The time is about the same. It will be finished in two days. The first batch of six tanks will be used by Second Uncle."

"Tank, why is it called a tank?"

"Frankly, overcome the enemy and win."

"Learning from this literati at such a young age is not as domineering as your elder brother's Vulcan armored vehicle, and calling it the King of Destruction is also more powerful."

Zhu Zhanchang was speechless, how did the tank become Wenxuanxuan's name in the mouth of the second uncle.

Although the tank is transliterated, it is convenient to call, so Zhu Zhanchang still intends to call it a tank. The name of the battlefield command center is short, and it is convenient to command.

"And the second uncle, we developed a method of warfare based on the characteristics of the tank."

"What tactics? You don't know how to fight, so don't study blindly."

"But I know new weapons, Yu Qian, Yu Qian." Zhu Zhanchang said while calling Yu Qian's name.

Yu Qian was sleeping in the shade just now, when he heard the call and ran over.

"Yu Qian, explain to the second uncle, what is the step-tank collaboration."
