Volume 4: Iron General Huo Xiaotian Chapter 99: A Separate Discussion of Chariots
And if we want to become strong in the true sense, we must build an armed force that will be watched by the people of the world.
Of course, the soldiers they had earlier were definitely not armed, and if they were to say that they were sticking to their Yungu Cottage, it would be pretty much the same. But if you want to really "let the world look sideways", or even shock the world, then it will definitely not work.
Not to mention, this Huo Xiaotian is really an extremely rare general, and he soon decided on his own reform plan.
Moreover, his reform plan is really quite feasible, which is the "ironclad chariot" mentioned by the old blacksmith earlier.
First of all, the ancestor of their Huo family is the descendant disciple of Lu Ban in the past, and this person has inherited Lu Ban's strange and obscene skills to the greatest extent, especially proficient in the production process of those ancient chariots.
Not only that, but he also handed down a secret book "Farewell to Chariots", which completely described the principles and production processes of many magical chariots.
One of the most ingenious is the so-called "ironclad chariot", which is what the old blacksmith described as a maneuverable split combination chariot.
Not to mention, this hard work paid off, after more than three years of repeated trials and countless rectifications, Huo Xiaotian's "ironclad chariot" was really successful.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Huo Xiaotian has eighteen "ironclad chariot" squads under his command, each with eighteen people, a total of three hundred and twenty-four people. In addition, plus eighteen ironclad elite cavalry squads, a total of 180 people. The two combined, a total of more than 500 people.
According to Huo Xiaotian's design, each "ironclad chariot" squad can be dispersed and fight independently, and the chariot can be quickly combined according to the specific battlefield situation.
Once the vehicle is assembled, eight of them are responsible for the internal mechanical operation, ensuring that the four wheels can be used nimblely.
The remaining eight of them are responsible for operating the chain crossbow in four directions, mainly for long-range attacks. In addition, they are each equipped with spears, which can also be used for assassination at close range.
The remaining two are the commanders of this chariot, mainly responsible for observing and judging the situation at that time, and giving specific orders at any time to separate themselves and integrate the chariots.
As for the eighteen ironclad elite cavalry squads, they are the peripheral mobile force of these ironclad chariots, and they will carry out corresponding guerrilla attacks and countermeasures according to various specific situations. With their advantages of mobility and flexibility, they make up for the various shortcomings of ironclad combat vehicles.
And once they encountered a large-scale strong enemy, their eighteen chariot squads quickly arranged various formations according to the battlefield situation at that time to deal with various complex situations.
Among these flexible and changeable formations, there is a Qimen Bagua formation that is the most powerful, and it is also the most powerful killer weapon of Huo Xiaotian.
His Qimen Bagua Formation is composed of eighteen chariots, and it is an extremely complex and changeable comprehensive formation.
Eight of the chariots were arranged in the periphery according to the theory of the gossip of the day after tomorrow to form the first formation. The other eight chariots were internally laid out in accordance with the theory of innate gossip as a second way of warfare.
The last two remaining chariots control the specific operation of the entire formation in the center, that is, where their central command system is located. Of course, they must also be ready at any time to respond to and fill vacancies in any direction to ensure the effective operation of the entire large array.
At this time, the eighteen cavalry squads were completely dormant in this Qimen array, ready to strike at lightning at any time to deal with various battlefield situations that might arise at any time.
The most powerful thing about this Qimen Bagua Formation is that it has a variety of magical variations of the two sets of Bagua Formations that are reversed. Unless you are a master who really knows this formation, it is difficult to take advantage of the slightest advantage.
Because the magic of this formation is that it looks ordinary from the outside, and at the beginning it is just a group of heavily armored infantry.
But once they rushed in front of them, they instantly completed the magical chariot combination and arranged it into a varied chariot formation.
And the most powerful thing is that although the two formations inside and outside are roughly the same, the changes in them are completely different, and even directly contradict each other, in fact, this is also the power of this Qimen gossip formation.
Of course, although this ironclad chariot was completed in the hands of Huo Xiaotian, in fact, this was also the hard work of their Yungu Mountain Huo family for many generations.
It was also the real successful development of this "ironclad chariot" and the later formal formation of the army, which really inspired Huo Xiaotian's lofty ambitions.
According to his original intention, he was ready to reveal his powerful "ironclad chariot" to the world at an opportune time in the future.
Let everyone in the world really see that their Yungu cottage today is not simply inheriting the remnants of their ancestors, but relying on their own strength to settle down.
What's more, this Huo Xiaotian turned out to be a strange man who studied metaphysics, he was good at easy to understand the number of images, divination and prediction.
He has even premonited and calculated that in the near future, the world will inevitably change greatly, and maybe the entire world pattern will really undergo a major reshuffle.
So, after his ironclad chariot was really trained, he began to discuss secretly with the boss Huo Xiaoyi, secretly analyzing and discussing the general trend of the world and the heroes of the world.
Not only that, but since then, the two of them have often gone out in disguise, in order to get the most accurate real-time information in the world, which is also the basis for accurate decisions in the future.
But who would have thought that at this juncture, this incident of the ancient Luo Kingdom mission actually happened.
Originally, according to Huo Xiaotian's intentions, this matter must be handled extremely properly, and it must not affect his overall plan.
Because after all, he has not yet made a final decision, and he has not really decided, and what is the next step for him.
However, the next development was greatly unexpected by Huo Xiaotian.
And the key to this is the important person in this Gu Luo Guotuan incident, that is, the former number one thief in the world - Jin Feilong, the earth-drilling dragon!
First of all, what everyone never expected was that this Jin Feilong turned out to be a so-called "impostor". It turned out that he was not the real owner of the lambskin package before, but deliberately impersonated someone else's identity for a special purpose.
Secondly, the reason why the envoy of the Gu Luo Kingdom came from thousands of miles to pay tribute to the Celestial Empire this time was that it also had a direct and significant relationship with him, Jin Feilong. And the key to all this is really not because of anything else, it is precisely the water-avoiding divine pearl.
It is said that on that day, Huo Xiaotian "invited" Shi Da, the Gu Luo Kingdom Mission, and the "little beggar" Jin Feilong to the meeting hall. Before Huo Xiaotian could speak and ask, the parties on both sides of the two sides started to mess up first.
It turned out that as soon as that Jin Feilong came on the field, not only Shi Da, but even the leader of the Gu Luo Kingdom Mission, suddenly screamed excitedly, as if he had discovered something incredible.
Dare to love, these two people recognized the thief old man Jin Feilong at the same time. Unexpectedly, he is not only a wanted criminal in the so-called East China Sea Country, but also a special murderer in the ancient Luo Kingdom!
What's even more jaw-dropping is that in front of the hard facts and absolute human evidence, Jin Feilong himself really admitted everything calmly.
According to his own statement afterwards, he has reached the real end of his life anyway, and he really doesn't need to hide anything anymore.
It turned out that Jin Feilong and Liu Peisheng, the master of the Shadowless Daoist, were the famous Flying Harriers on the rivers and lakes, and the two of them were indeed brothers in the same school.
It's just that although they are from the same school, the prestige of the two is completely different, one is a chivalrous and reclusive warrior who shocks the rivers and lakes, and the other is a thief and thief who moves the world.
Later, because Jin Feilong committed more and more crimes, he became more and more bold, and gradually even the entire Central Plains Martial Arts could not be tolerated by him.
