Chapter 25: There's nothing wrong with being cautious
The era of war often means the rapid development of science and technology, which is really ironic.
It was precisely because of the need, or because Fang Yun had made a good start, that all the princes in the world had to invest more energy and financial resources, but studied more siege equipment. It is even necessary to study new metallurgical means and various technologies to increase combat effectiveness.
Even some small princes, such as Zhang Lu, had to study how to grow the most grain with the least amount of land, so agriculture developed. Even after signing a trade agreement with Fang Yun, Shixie even built ports in Hepu and other places, and spent a little effort on studying ocean-going merchant ships, apparently planning to use navigation methods to gain benefits in other states and counties.
In history, Liu Ye invented the thunderbolt car, and Zhuge Liang even invented the wooden ox flowing horse, Zhuge Lian crossbow and fire beast car.
Nowadays, in the midst of war, weapons of war have begun to occupy a certain place. As assembly lines and modularization began to be discovered by those who were interested in it, and after it spread, it was no longer very difficult to equip crossbows or bows and arrows on a large scale, or even to manufacture weapons of war on a large scale, and the need for craftsmen also declined.
In this battle, Zhang He invested in the second type of armored vehicle just developed by the arsenal, as well as more than 50 improved repeating strong crossbow machines; Zhu Zhi put in more than 30 strong ballista carts and more than 50 Vulcan cannons.
The Type 2 armored vehicle uses the third type of spiritual motor, which increases the energy conversion efficiency by 10% and the absorption effect of spiritual energy by 7%; The means of movement were changed from tracks to six-wheels, and for the first time, rubber tires were used, and steel axles were designed. The car can reach 80 km/h at full speed. There is not only a flamethrower system in melee combat. There is also a special blade on the side of the wheel. It is possible to strangle enemy troops by moving, and even cut off the legs of cavalry.
The improved repeating crossbow has eliminated the animal tendon or rubber band, and replaced it with a spirit script and mechanism design. Lingwen is a special text that communicates the aura of heaven and earth, in which the combination of the 'repulsion' effect can be formed between the twentieth and eleventh. With the miniature spirit array, the strength of repulsion can even surpass the elastic force of rubber bands and beast tendons.
This improved version of the repeating crossbow machine uses this principle to shoot all the arrows. Even the reaction force is used after the shot. Press the new arrow into the launch area, and at the same time, the Spirit Gathering Array will be activated again to charge the spirit text, so that the two spirit texts that have temporarily lost their effect due to their effect will work again, and then cause a second rejection phenomenon.
In other words, this kind of repeating crossbow machine, as long as it is not adjusted to the burst fire mode, can even load the arrows loaded in it in one go, almost in three seconds to five seconds. Shoot all 50 bolts. After a minute or so of changing ammunition, it is possible to continue firing.
This is the practical use of Lingwen Technology. Fang Yun's research institute was constantly developing spiritual weapons. Of course, the civilian version is also working overtime to study. However, there is one thing that can be put into use, and that is the Psionic Car. A car that uses Reiki as its main energy source does not need any horse traction to drive, and is no less fast than a car.
The only problem is that the intensity of the aura of the limited heaven and earth is limited, and this thing cannot be mass-produced...... According to the Arsenal, if there are more than 10,000 units, I am afraid that not to mention these cars, even other spiritual motives should not be expected to start.
Although Zhu Zhi didn't have Lingwen technology on his side, the strong ballista and Vulcan cannon were also quite valuable.
The bolts of the crossbow were as thick as arms, but they were hollow and filled with gunpowder. It's not the kind of thing that fuels combustion, but gunpowder in the real sense, and although the proportion is not enough, it can still burst out with a certain propulsion effect when used in large quantities. With the propulsion of bowstrings and gunpowder, the range of these arrows can be further increased, not to mention the penetration.
The Vulcan Cannon is not a catapult, but something like a ballista, mainly flat-fired. It used incendiary bombs, which were still found during research on the Fierce Fire Oil. The incendiary bomb was made to be the size of a lead ball, but the dot could burn for two quarters of an hour, and the water could not be extinguished, and even the diffuse was very powerful.
The ammunition ignited the moment the Vulcan cannon was fired, and then fell into the enemy's position, shattering into a sea of fire. Because of the mixture of sugar or even other things, these flames are very diffuse, if they are touched, even if they roll on the ground, they may not be extinguished, and the sand can be directly burned into crystals, and the temperature is very terrible.
Fortunately, Zhang He has already received the data of these Vulcan cannons, and he will not be caught off guard when he really faces them.
"General Zhu Zhi, my lord has always loved talents, as long as you are willing to surrender, you will always be reused by the lord. My lord is a general of the Han Dynasty and the current emperor. And Sun Ce is in the name of Hanchen, but in fact he is just a warlord who divides one side, General Zhu Zhi, since you are a citizen of the Han Dynasty, you shouldn't be able to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, right? Before the start of the war, Zhang He personally came to the front line to recruit surrender.
"Hmph, Fang Yun Yellow Turban was born as a traitor, and he held His Majesty hostage and brutalized Zhongliang, his crime is unforgivable! The lord of my family wants to clear the king's side, this is what the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty do! You don't need to talk nonsense either, if you want to fight, you will fight! Thousands of generals in the armor of the commander chanted.
"Since General Zhu is so stubborn, then it's no wonder that we are welcome!" Zhang He didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, he originally planned to leave him a way to live, but since the other party blocked this road, then let him be unlucky.
When the two sides went to war, it was supposed to be opened in a normal way, and the archers should have fired at each other in order to suppress each other.
But now it has become a contest between the weapons of war, after all, manpower cannot shoot arrows that far. The side with the closest range, or the weakest arrow, is often the last loser.
The two sides unfolded, and quickly entered the time of the hurricane buff and the application of the DEBUFF.
Before Zhang He started the war, Fang Yun gave him the second Martial Soul Pill, which was Yan Liang's Martial Soul Pill. After fusing the Martial Soul Pill, Zhang He's circumference has been significantly improved: Tianwu 150 Tianhui 113, Tianyu 131, Tianmei 127. At the same time, it inherited Yan Liang's 'concentration' and 'dismantling' characteristics. I also comprehended the martial arts skills of 'rising up' and 'coercion'.
At the beginning of the war. Zhang He performed 'Rise Up'. Increases Pawn Attack by 50%. Morale increased by 100%; At the same time, exert 'coercion', reduce the opponent's soldiers' full attributes by 25%, and 50% morale, and the interesting thing is that 2 percent of the soldiers fled directly.
Coercion can indeed cause the enemy's soldiers to flee with a probability, but at most it will only be a few tens or hundreds of soldiers. But this performance directly caused the enemy's soldiers to flee, which couldn't help but make Zhang He frown, as if he realized something.
The skill 'Army Spirit' is deployed, and the self-commissioned soldier once again receives a buff with all attributes raised.
And the enemy army. But he didn't cast a single buff at all. It's just that this thing is very illusory, or it doesn't have an actual form, so even Zhang He didn't find this. Maybe Fang Yun can see through it if he has a system.
"Fight!" Although the buff was not used, the enemy was the first to attack. Obviously, the two percent of the army forced them to make a decision.
The crossbow quickly began to shoot, and the operator was very skilled in operation, and more than 30 strong crossbows flew out of a distance of one mile and flew directly towards Zhang He's position.
Zhang He didn't need to make any arrangements. Too far away is a weakness in itself, and it may be possible to deal with the old army. The army under Zhang He. The middle- and low-ranking officers below still had quite good control over the troops, and quickly commanded the non-commissioned officers to disperse.
The arrows landed, but no one was killed or injured at all, and they just landed on the ground.
Zhang He was not beaten standing up, and the strong crossbow that could dodge the enemy itself also had some luck elements. If you don't fight back just to be handsome, you're simply dying.
The burst of powerful crossbow machines quickly poured crossbow arrows and directly suppressed the opponent. At the same time, the armored vehicles quickly began to drive, rushed into the enemy positions, and in a very short time spewed out raging flames, directly igniting the ammunition in their positions. The ammunition quickly burst out as it burned, and as a result, a sea of fire formed in Zhu Zhijun's position.
The armored car quickly retreated, but there were still a few tires that were damaged by the flames, which shows how powerful these shells were!
The sea of fire directly ignited the strong ballista and Vulcan cannon on the opponent's position, and in the end, the main body or wood was the biggest failure. If it was Fang Yun's side, this kind of thing should be made of all-steel...... It's just that at the time, it was the behavior of a loser.
Seeing that all the weapons of war were destroyed, the other party was directly defeated and immediately scattered.
These soldiers, who seem to have no training at all and run like headless flies, should now find that something is wrong even if they are brainless.
Zhang He quickly led the cavalry of his headquarters to kill and captured some of the soldiers, only to find that these soldiers were actually not Sun Ce's soldiers at all, but the surrounding people. Young Zhuang was placed at the forefront, with women in the middle and old people in the back. Among these so-called soldiers, except for a hundred people who operate weapons of war, the others are extras.
"Damn it, look into it for me right now! I want to know where Zhu Zhi and them are! Zhang He immediately scolded.
At the same time, an army of about 10,000 people rushed towards the direction of Hushu. This is none other than Zhu Zhi! It turned out that they had set up suspicious soldiers to attract Zhang He's attention, and then led the people of the headquarters to kill in the direction of Hushu! In fact, they don't even need to attack Hushu, they just need to take a detour back to the south!
This can't blame him for being immoral, Zhang He was able to kill the ambush soldiers he arranged in Lingshan and Purple Mountain the night before the decisive battle, which was originally the most immoral performance, how could he be qualified to say that he was not moral at this moment?
I'm afraid that Huang Ran doesn't know, every day Zhu Ran will come over to greet him in person, and even if he doesn't, he will ask a liaison soldier to greet him on his behalf. No matter what, Zhu Zhi is Zhu Ran's adoptive father, and routinely greeting him is a piece of filial piety for children.
But today, Zhu Ran did not let the contact tape speak, which is not in line with Zhu Ran's character. As the so-called 'knowing the son is more than the father', Zhu Ran's abnormality has only one possibility in Zhu Zhi's eyes, that is, Zhu Ran has no way to act at all, and even has died.
It is conceivable that Lingshan is only afraid that it has fallen into the hands of the enemy, so what about Purple Mountain? It's not far from it!
Simply sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, it was found that although these soldiers spoke with a southern accent, they were definitely not Sun Jun's soldiers. This means that the two places have indeed been broken by Zhang He's army, and when the decisive battle comes, it will be a good calculation!
It is indeed not moral enough to ambush soldiers in the two places, but is it not moral for Zhang Hejun, who uprooted the strongholds in the two places at night and occupied the magpie's nest? Since it is very likely that you will face a flank attack from the two armies if you continue to stay, it is better to take the opportunity to get out of trouble!
This is Zhu Zhi, a cautious general, cautious and not going to make a big mistake! (To be continued......)
