In the distance, Gongsun Chan and Zhao Yun were observing the battle situation.

This is the first battle of the Ancient Tree of War.

"It's really slow."

"Well, these soldiers are indeed as the Dragon King said, suitable for siege warfare or defending cities."

"If it weren't for Bai Ma Yicong driving these Xianbei dogs to one place, they would definitely have escaped."

"The Xianbei tribe forms a nomadic tribe, in this case, if you want to catch them all, I'm afraid you need to think in the long run."

"White Horse Yicong also needs to cooperate on the side, so that the effect is better."

Gongsun Zan has been in battle for a long time, and Zhao Yun is self-taught, both of them can be regarded as very powerful generals, and after only watching the battle situation once, they can roughly figure out the characteristics of these ancient war trees.

In general, the advantages and disadvantages of the War Ancient Tree are obvious, the advantage is that it is very resistant to beating, there will be almost no battle damage, and the lethality is huge, the disadvantage is that the speed is too slow in such a steppe, and almost all of them are people on horseback, once they escape, the War Ancient Tree will not be able to catch up.

However, if there is a white horse righteous slave on the side, then the war ancient tree can play a large room, the number of white horse is small, only more than a thousand horses, not suitable for a tough battle, but the war ancient tree is the most suitable for a hard battle.

The two of them already have a variety of tactics in their minds, and in general, for such soldiers, Gongsun Chan and Zhao Yun are extremely satisfied, extremely obedient to military orders, hard-working, not afraid of death, not afraid of death, and do not need to consume grain and grass, and the lethality is great, such a soldier, as long as he is a general, I am afraid he will not be dissatisfied.

When Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun started the first battle of the war Gushu in Youzhou, the battle situation was much smoother on the side of Bingzhou.

Bingzhou is closer to Luoyang, so the war between Bingzhou was the first to start.

Lu Bu is also a good general, but he can only be regarded as good, and Guo Jia will crush Lu Bu for several streets if he talks about strategy.

Guo Jia had long seen the advantages and disadvantages of the ancient tree of war, so as soon as he returned to Wuyuan County, he asked Lu Bu to gather a group of cavalry, which was not used to fight, but to listen to news.

The alien races on the grassland are uncertain, maybe they are here today, and they will move tomorrow, so to fight on the grassland, the source of intelligence is even more important than the war, in the past, the Han Dynasty army and the alien races on the grassland fought wars, often the victory or defeat was determined by a war, but before the war, just to find out the news, it takes countless time.

Guo Jia sent these cavalry out, and then reported at any time, but the ancient trees of war were on standby in a certain position, this position was the central point for the cavalry to listen to the news, and if there was any movement on either side, Guo Jia would let these ancient trees of war dispatch, but Guo Jia did not expect a battle, but made up his mind to let these ancient trees of war carry out the strategy of harassing and exhausting the enemy.

Although the speed of the war ancient trees is not fast, they don't need to rest, but the aliens need to rest, and if the fart/strand is followed by a group of war ancient trees, the aliens really can't eat well and sleep well, for fear that as soon as they sleep, their heads will fall to the ground in their dreams.

This tactic is a bit like a wolf pack tactic, where the wolves never attack when the enemy is energetic, but hang far behind, leaving the enemy physically and mentally exhausted before attacking and winning easily.

This tactic was very successful, using this tactic, Guo Jia had already annihilated three tribes on the grassland, all of which tired the enemy to fight. It can be described as extremely aggrieved.

Lu Bu obviously disagreed with this approach, because he preferred to fight with the enemy with real swords, but Guo Jia told Lu Bu that if the enemy was willing to fight, he would not stop it, but it was clear that the alien race was not so stupid.

In fact, the news of the alien race is not slow to be transmitted, with Guo Jia exterminating the three tribes on the grassland in a row, the alien race almost knows it, and the Han Dynasty has another strange army, like trees and people, these tree manpower is infinite, not afraid of death, and it seems that it can't be killed at all, it belongs to absolute monsters.

Under the command of Guo Jia, the ancient tree of war quickly gained a reputation in Bingzhou, which made many aliens fearful, except for those who did not believe in evil, they were quite wary of such a monster army.

...........

As the New Year's Festival approached, the first snow of the first year of Dawei fell in Luoyang City.

The snow was not heavy, but it had been falling for a long time, allowing the ground to form a shallow layer.

As soon as the snow fell, the temperature began to drop, and it dropped significantly.

Xun Yu, Xun You, and Sima Zheng paid close attention to the impact of the snow, and the impact was definitely there, but it was not too big.

The steel mill and the steam engine mill were still in operation, because there was a lot of steel, so the production efficiency of the steam engine was very high, and when the first steam car was assembled and rolled out of the factory, the dragon king himself witnessed this scene.

The length of the newly baked steam car is eight meters, which is quite an exaggerated length, this is because although the steam car has been miniaturized by Ma Jun and Mo Liang, even if it is small, this thing needs a lot of space to install, so the length of the front of the steam car alone is four meters, and the front of the car has only a small cab, which can accommodate one person to drive.

The appearance of the steam car is quite ugly, swarthy, and not aesthetic at all, but the effect is good.

The load capacity of this kind of steam car is not particularly high, it can only carry 5,000 catties at a time, which is the most, and if it is heavy, it will not be able to run, in addition, its speed is not very fast, it can run to about 70 miles per hour, and then run for two hours at most, it has to stop and add fuel and water once.

Aside from the load capacity and speed, this thing is not environmentally friendly at all, because it burns coal, and when the car starts, the smoke is billowing and the sound is loud, and the driver drives all day with a black face and ears that have to be shaken.

If such a steam car were put in modern times, it would definitely be a commodity in the exhibition hall, but in this era, this thing is really a divine thing.

On the day of the test drive, almost the entire city of Luoyang City was dispatched, and they all ran to the road to see, and there were crowds of people.

The vision of merchants is generally very keen, when the steam car is manufactured, there have been many merchants asking Xun Yu and the three people, asking whether the steam car is for sale, Xun Yu's answer is of course no, now these steam cars will be given priority to supply to the steel mill, because the steel mill needs a lot of raw materials, only enough raw materials can make more steel, but also make more steam cars.

"Next year, I hope that by the beginning of spring next year, we will have more than 500 steam cars." The dragon king is full of ambition.

This number is not particularly large, the first steam car is the most difficult to manufacture, but when the first one is built and put into use, the speed of building the car will be greatly accelerated, one is because the raw materials are transported faster, and the other is because people are familiar with it.

Luoyang City has just opened the Internet era, and now it is about to enter the era of steam cars!!
