Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1870 Abstract Chariot

The weapon designed by Lan Nuo is certainly not the most advanced one. With these machine tools, more advanced weapons can be produced, but these are the ones that can be mass-produced in the shortest time, and they make extensive use of common parts that have already been produced on the spacecraft.

The combat method is also very similar to the chariots of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In this era of lack of cavalry, chariots are battlefield killers that are countless times more terrifying than heavy cavalry. In addition, the crossbowmen here have a shooting speed several times faster than ordinary archers and a much longer range. The advantage is already huge.

In order to ensure that these soldiers had enough courage to face the enemy's arrows, Lan Nuo took great pains to decipher the operating technology of CNC machine tools, allowing these CNC machine tools to automatically produce parts and produce a considerable number of chain mail in a short period of time.

These armors, which are like iron chains worn on the body, can be worn over a cotton coat and can block most arrow attacks. In cold weapon combat, it is almost equivalent to putting on an invincible layer of defense.

Although he only had more than 400 civilians who could barely be considered soldiers, Lan Nuo was already quite confident about the upcoming surprise attack. If the entire ecological drum was unfolded into a rectangular block, the longest side would be no more than a hundred miles. The distance that needed to be crossed from the border to the capital of a country was roughly more than 20 miles. With such a short distance, Lan Nuo did not even need to consider logistics issues. All soldiers brought their own dry food and could fight their way to the gate of the capital of the High Tower Kingdom.

In fact, there was no need for Lanno to take the initiative to attack. The soldiers of the Tower Kingdom had already come to the bottom of the castle to provoke. A few days ago, the soldiers led by Baron Freeman fled without a fight because of a strange assassin, and the soldiers of the Tower Kingdom had already blocked the gate of the castle. Every day, the soldiers of the Tower Kingdom challenged at the gate of the castle.

I was cursing at the soldiers at the castle gate, and I was sitting in a cart made of scrap iron sheets, holding something like a loud speaker, and uttering obscene words towards the castle. The original text was basically unplayable, and more than 30% of it contained foul language. It can be seen that even aliens have similar habits to humans on Earth when it comes to cursing.

A few arrows shot from the castle from time to time hit the baffle of the iron cart, which at most stopped the person cursing outside for a moment. When no one shot arrows, the person would raise the horn and continue cursing. This kind of operation, which seems a bit funny, actually happened from time to time in ancient times on Earth. Often, the generals defending the city would lose their patience and send troops to attack, which would lead to the attackers taking advantage and suffering heavy losses in the field battle.

The soldiers who challenged the enemy today came just like they did every day, holding their loud speakers and swaggering to the front of the enemy formation, ready to shout.

Unexpectedly, the city gate actually opened this time. The soldiers who saw this turned around and ran away. At the same time, the general of the High Tower Kingdom who was camped in the rear suddenly stood up, waved the order in his hand and shouted loudly: "The enemy has opened the city gate, all troops will attack! Defeat the enemy, there will be a great reward!"

For a moment, the soldiers lined up and marched forward to the beat of drums. A big reward will always attract brave men, and this is the time to boost morale.

However, the city gate was wide open, and two modified tricycles driving side by side out of the city gate caused the soldiers who were originally marching in an orderly line to fall into horror.

Although the structure is indeed a three-wheeled vehicle, a protective steel plate is installed in the front of the vehicle. With the protection of the baffle, one only needs to bend slightly to avoid long-range bow and arrow attacks. When it is close, these baffles act like shields, making it impossible for infantry to attack.

As the two tricycles drove out of the city gate, more of these metal monsters rushed out from behind. They quickly lined up at the city gate. At the same time, a large number of infantry and archers poured out of the city gate and quickly formed a team. With a command, the soldiers driving the tricycles completed the spring training, blushed, and stepped on the pedals. The soldiers in charge of the pedals used all their strength to push the heavy tricycles. If they only relied on human power, the maximum speed of the tricycles would be limited, which was not enough to meet the task of charging.

But as the drivers stepped on the accelerator under the unified command, the large spring on the car began to run, and the mechanical energy stored in it was released, and the original human-powered tricycle suddenly burst out with a speed even faster than the electric tricycle.

Only when they got closer did the soldiers see clearly that the front of the tricycle was not just a shield, but also had spikes on it. It was easy to imagine what would happen if they crashed into it.

The chariots that were running at nearly 40km/h were terrifying enough for these ordinary soldiers. There were no large livestock in this world. The sight of these fierce chariots finally caused their morale to collapse. The soldiers in the front row wailed, threw away their weapons, turned around and ran away. Even the supervisors lost their courage and fled into the bushes on both sides. They shouted that the devil was coming, and they were obviously scared by this thing.

They couldn't tell clearly whether it was a person or a ghost behind the fender. Some people even thought that this thing was not a car, but that it could run on its own, and even thought it was a monster.

Even the commander of the Tower Kingdom was sweating profusely, and he ordered the archers to shoot one after another. However, how could the arrows falling on these iron shields cause any casualties? Instead, the crossbowmen who occasionally showed their heads would secretly shoot an arrow, causing the archers to fall down with screams.

What's even more terrifying is that even if the arrows really hit, people with their heads exposed are often unharmed, or if they have helmets, even if the arrows hit their bodies, their chain-like armor can withstand these attacks.

Lan Nuo didn't even go to the battlefield himself, and the infantry and archers in the rear were not used. The first field battle outside the city was a great victory. The infantry's task was to capture prisoners, and the commander of the Tower Kingdom also chose to surrender happily. After all, in the wars of this era, the surrendered nobles could redeem themselves as long as they paid enough ransom.

However, the commander of the Tower Kingdom never expected that after winning the battle, the other side had no intention of quitting, but instead led the troops all the way along the avenue. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were planning to march straight into the royal capital.

Lan Nuo had never planned to drag the war out for more than three days. The distance was less than thirty miles, and even if the marching speed was slow in the feudal era, it would take at least three days to reach the destination. And before this, no one had thought that a border lord would escalate the war to this extent.
