Chapter 138: Mecha Wins Iron Armor (Part II)

The width of the mecha chariot designed by Zhu Xiaobao is only about two and a half meters, and the length is four meters, which is not very large. So the space inside is also relatively compact. The main task of the two women in the front row is to observe and fire crossbow arrows, while the two women in the middle row control the pulley block to provide more power. However, it is also necessary to take into account the firing of "cannonballs", and the two female soldiers in the back row are fully powered, and their feet are constantly stepping on the pedals, which can be said to be high-intensity physical work. The physical requirements are quite high.

Now two heavy crossbows are placed on both sides of the front row, this kind of heavy crossbow is improved by Zhu Xiaobao, now the wheels and base are removed, fixed on both sides of the front row, is installed vertically, so as to effectively use the space, and the other big crossbow is horizontal above the front row, almost placed on the roof of the position, and when the attack distance is reached, the two female soldiers in the middle row are no longer controlling the pulley group, but responsible for firing "cannonballs".

It is said that it is a "cannonball", but it is actually an incendiary bomb the size of a teapot, which ignites the fuse before launching, and then launches it through the large crossbow above. The firing principle of this crossbow is more like an oversized slingshot, which shoots projectiles. However, the winding of this crossbow is quite laborious, although it also adopts the principle of a compound bow, and pulleys are installed on both sides, but it still requires two female soldiers to complete it together, because the "cannonball" is too heavy, and there must be a strong impetus to reach a relatively long range.

Anyway, the six members of the mecha chariot are all female soldiers who need to have a strong physique, so don't worry about this, the female soldiers here are all carefully selected by Wu Yue, all of them are tall and big, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now!

Because the weapon system of this mecha chariot began to be actually tested, Wu Lijia and others were also very excited, even Wu Yue squeezed out a female guard, and went into battle himself, he was in the middle row, not only to control the pulley group, but also to be responsible for firing "cannonballs", the female soldier who was squeezed out was somewhat depressed, but there was no way, the relationship between Wu Yue and Zhu Xiaobao was well known, and now he could only be a little wronged! Originally, Tong Wuxin was also eager to try, but seeing that Wu Yue had already taken the lead, it was not good to go up again.

Zhu Xiaobao also got on the chariot in person, he squatted in the middle of the front row, not affecting the operation of others, mainly to personally check whether his design can meet the requirements and make some records.

First of all, the speed of the chariot has already made Zhu Xiaobao very satisfied, even if there are more people, the speed is very fast now, almost reaching the speed of running in a person, which is also the excitement of Wu Lijia and others, and today's motivation is very great.

The imaginary enemy was set at a distance of five hundred meters, because the distance between the two sides was almost the same. At 500 meters, if the men and horses of both sides are advancing at the same time, the speed of shortening the distance is very fast.

In the first 100 meters, the mecha chariot took almost 40 seconds, because the acceleration process from stationary to running was still relatively slow, and the speed of the later training began to accelerate, and the second took almost 25 seconds to 100 meters, and the speed of the next 100 meters remained at about 20 seconds. Zhu Xiaobao squatted there and recorded the meaning.

When it is only about 100 meters away from the other party, the heavy crossbow in the front row begins to fire, each heavy crossbow can be shot on both sides, and two crossbow arrows are fired almost at the same time, and the speed of the reproduction of the two female soldiers to install the crossbow arrows is also very fast, one person can get a heavy crossbow, as for the accuracy, it is not much to consider, against a large number of ironclad troops, so the probability of hitting is very large, basically in the direction of the chariot, the crossbow arrows will be shot there.

Now there is a wooden horse set up on the opposite side, and he is still wearing armor, and the hit rate of crossbow arrows is still quite high, almost six or seven percent of the hit rate.

After three rounds of heavy crossbow shooting, the chariot was still about fifty paces away from the opposite target, and Wu Yue and Wu Lijia let go of the pulley group and began to adjust the angle when they were a hundred paces away, and only at a distance of fifty steps did they begin to light the fuse, and then fire "cannonballs". From previous experiments, they knew that the range of this kind of crossbow was fifty paces.

"Boom"

The first "shell" actually hit the target in front of the target and did not hit it very accurately, but the target that was affected by the explosion was still burned.

When the second method "cannonball" is aiming, the distance is already forty steps, and now the speed of the chariot has slowed down, Zhu Xiaobao's mecha chariot is not to resist the opponent, this improved chariot is not very strong, and the weight of a war horse and knight of the ironclad army is fully armed, and it is not feasible to hit the opponent by ramming it!

Wu Yue slightly lowered the angle of the crossbow, in order to make the range closer, in fact, this is the same principle as the bow and arrow, affected by gravity, adjust the angle to achieve the maximum range. And when you get close, you need to lower the angle. In this regard, Wu Yue and Wu Lijia are both masters, and they are much more experienced than Zhu Xiaobao.

"Boom!"

The accuracy of the second "cannonball" was quite high, hitting a wooden man directly, and at the same time, with the explosion burning, several surrounding targets were also injured, and then a fire ignited.

All the female soldiers around them screamed, and then cheered, this was the first time they had seen such a powerful attack.

As the chariot moved, the distance was still getting closer, and Wu Yue and Wu Lijia fired a third "cannonball", which was closer to each other, so they hit more accurately.

But moving forward, Wu Yue and Wu Lijia were a little at a loss, because they couldn't adjust the angle downwards anymore, and they both looked at Zhu Xiaobao. The crossbow bolts in the front row were still firing.

"Hey, hey! What are you looking at? Do you still need a ballista at this distance? Just throw it out with your hands! How stupid! Zhu Xiaobao pursed his lips and hummed.

"That's right!" Wu Yue and Wu Lijia both realized a little suddenly, they were used to a fixed model, and they didn't expect to be flexible, so they were a little embarrassed, especially Wu Yue, who was a little annoyed by Zhu Xiaobao's stupid words!

But it's as simple as that, the two of them picked up the dirt bomb/bomb, and there was actually a very thoughtful fire gripper on it, so that it was easy to hold in their hands and throw it out. It seems that Zhu Xiaobao has long considered this issue.

This way of firing was even more convenient, and even the two female soldiers in the front row gave up their heavy crossbows and began to throw bombs outside. Didn't the roof of the tank be torn down? So now it's very convenient, throw it directly from above the roof of the car, and the other party can't see what's going on inside the car yet. The front baffles are arranged one by one like shutters. From the inside, you can see clearly, but you can't see the inside of the chariot on the other side, and the arrows can't be shot, and the angle of the baffle is just right for the original arrows, because all the arrows are affected by gravity and shoot downward. Zhu Xiaobao skillfully uses this feature to ensure that the front is not shot by arrows.

Just now, Wu Yue and Wu Lijia fired four shells at a distance of about thirty paces, but now in the blink of an eye, the four female soldiers on the chariot simply threw out two rounds and eight earth bombs. Zhu Xiaobao called out in distress: "Okay! All right! It's all stopped, don't you see that the other side has been blown up, it's about to burn to ashes, and you're still throwing it? Don't you know I don't have many more bombs in my hand? ”

Wu Yue and Wu Lijia jumped down from the chariot with satisfaction, and walked to those targets to see the results, but didn't they, they were all blown up, and they were all about to burn out, I didn't expect the power of these incendiary bombs to be so terrifying!

"But...... Xiaobao, King Ming's ironclad army this time is two thousand, it will definitely not end like this, so what should we do next, we don't wear armor, we don't bring weapons, if we get closer, we can only fight in close combat! Wu Lijia suddenly thought of this very serious problem, and patronized it, but when it came to the ironclad army, it didn't have any advantage.

"Hey, hey! I've already figured out what I'm going to do with your shields. It's just running! Wait until you get to the front, kick the back door of the chariot open, and then light the fuse here, let the chariot rush down the opponent's camp by itself, and then you throw these small bombs in your hand, these bombs are all smoking, once they explode, those smoke are enough for you to have time to run back, and this shield, see? With your back behind you, you can secure most of the whole body, and if you bend over and run, there will be basically no part of your body that will be shot! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said, and then made a demonstration, carrying a shield on his back, bending over, looking like an upright turtle from behind, which was very funny. But it's true that there are no parts exposed.

"That'...... Don't want this chariot? Wu Yue suddenly asked in surprise, listening to Zhu Xiaobao's meaning, the chariot was blown up directly in the opposing camp?

"Then don't! There is also a loss of wood and steel. Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said.

"That's a shame? Can you not blow it up? Wu Lijia was also very reluctant to say, it was like his own weapon, and he used it handily, but he didn't expect it to be blown up in the end, and he was very reluctant in his heart.

"You remember, talent is the most important thing at all times, and blowing it up makes the other party not know the structure of this mecha chariot, don't you say? Look a little farther! Zhu Xiaobao stood in front of Wu Lijia with his head up, and patted Wu Lijia on the shoulder, he was a head shorter than Wu Lijia, and the scene was very funny.

"Little bastard! Beware that Wu Yue and the others will clean you up! Wu Lijia reprimanded a little crying and laughing, in fact, she didn't reject Zhu Xiaobao's actions, but she was afraid that Wu Yue would be unhappy. Don't look at Wu Yue's usual big grin, but in this matter, she is actually quite small-minded. At the beginning, Wu Lijia wanted to come to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, but Wu Yue was not worried.

"Humph! Too lazy to pay attention to you! Wu Yue was on the rise at this time, so she just snorted lightly, and then asked, "How many such mecha chariots can we build?" ”

"Well, time is pressing, and besides, my bombs can support twenty taels of vehicles, just twenty!" Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while before saying, this is already the limit......
