Chapter Twenty-Six: Steam Motorcycles (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"It's exciting..."
The wind blows and hurts, like a roller coaster.
Wren climbed on the tail of a demolished mechanical city with only the skeleton remaining, clinging to the steel frame, struggling to keep himself from being jolted.
It has to be said that the steam boiler that can drive the heavy steel castle has no load, and the speed is so fast that it "flies".
Yes, it's really flying!
Every time it encounters a dirt pit, the mechanical city will jump high because it is too fast. It's like a bulky toad that jumps, and then clatters and falls, "bang" metal sounds on the ground, and you can always drop a few steel parts that I don't know if it's useful...
Along the way, I dropped some rivets, nuts, wheels and other iron lumps.
Wren climbed in fear, praying that the skeletal mechanical city would hold on and not fall apart after a single leap.
However, it seems that luck is good.
The more parts dropped in the mechanical city, the lighter the dead weight, and the faster and faster the speed, this run is more than ten or twenty kilometers...
In the end, he took the lead and successfully escaped from the encirclement.
.......
In a short time, looking back at the shore of Storm Lake, the "black market trading ground" has become a sea of fire.
The more than a dozen "war elephant-level" mechanical cities ambushed by the Omar Royal Legion on the periphery led countless tank-sized personnel carriers, forming a huge encirclement and slowly surrounding the past.
The encirclement has gradually taken shape, like a cloth bag slowly closing in, containing the mechanical city of thousands of monster thieves on the lakeside.
Only a small wave of strange thieves who chose to abandon the city and cut meat for the first time and escaped lightly escaped before the "pocket" was closed.
Wren is one of them.
......
After a rush of adrenaline galloping with cannonballs flying overhead from time to time, riding on a skeleton mechanical city that may fall apart at any time...
Rayne, who was blown by the cold wind of the wasteland, was pleasantly surprised to find that there were no pursuers to chase and kill them.
"Did you really make it out?"
His eyes were shining, and he felt a little incredible.
Isn't it the self possessed by the aura of bad luck, and he is finally going to start getting lucky?
But his instinct told him that things didn't seem to be that simple.
Although Wren doesn't know how to march and arrange, he has seen a lot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his previous life.
He looked at the battlefield in front of him, and suddenly felt that this situation coincided with some of the tactics in his memory.
What kind of siege tactic does it seem to be called?
Thinking of this, Wren couldn't help muttering: "It can't be that there is an ambush ahead, right?" ”
Then in the blink of an eye, he couldn't wait to give himself a big mouth!
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly...
Waiting for the skeleton mechanical city to approach, not far away, the sound of a tractor starting a dense sound.
Looking at it again, in the dense wasteland grass, I don't know when a large number of ambushes appeared.
As far as the eye can see, because there is no large-scale mechanical city, it has not been discovered in advance. Lurking in the grass are some strangely shaped legions of "mechanical cavalry".
"What the hell... Steam motorcycles? ”
It was the first time Wren had seen such a strange steam machine.
These strange steam locomotives in front of me are like Harley-Davidson motorcycles with a big iron ring on the outside. It is about three meters in diameter, with a raised toothed track grip on the outside of the wheel, and large-caliber muskets on both sides, and a miniature steam boiler that suddenly emits white smoke.
Dark industrial style as always.
It's such a bizarre-looking locomotive, which allows the driver to stay in a horizontal position all the time, just like riding a motorcycle, extremely fast and highly maneuverable.
"Is it a motorcycle?"
Wren's old hat is an eye-opener.
You say it's backward, in the previous life, the technology was so advanced, and I didn't necessarily have to make such a fancy motorcycle.
You say he's advanced, it's a steam-powered weird thing...
Look at the brass poured regimental coat of arms on the locomotive, the emblem of the First Regiment of the Royal Oma.
This is the most elite combat force of the Omar Empire - the Royal Steam Mechanic!
......
Obviously, now is not the time to care about how this hoop motorcycle was created.
There were hundreds of steam locomotives in front of them, and they quickly caught up with them like cavalry.
Without armor, the strange thief mechanical city seems to have almost become a live target.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A large-caliber musket on the locomotive suddenly burst out of flames, and a single round of shooting turned the mechanical city into a honeycomb!
Wren also realized that the back hand of the original "three and one" was here.
The people in the Omar Empire had long expected that those who could escape would definitely be some lightly armed mechanical cities. To deal with these monsters who don't have dealers and heavy firepower, the Light Mechanical Cavalry Legion is enough.
"Extinguish the boiler, surrender and don't die!"
"Resist stubbornly, don't kill them!"
“...”
The cavalry on the locomotive kept persuading them to surrender.
It's a pity that most of the thieves who choose to escape are outlaws with a lot of murders, and no one will be so stupid as to be caught.
The two sides engaged in a fierce musket exchange.
The firearms of the Monster Thieves are all high-end goods bought on the black market, and their power and accuracy are no worse than the standard equipment of the Imperial Army.
This fight is difficult to solve.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Flames flew everywhere, and iron bullets flew wildly.
Ray was in a hail of bullets and was completely messy.
......
"I... What now? ”
Wren was bitter in his heart, and he was in a dilemma.
I was just hitchhiking, but now I'm being chased and killed, and I can't get down.
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that I don't know if it was because of the "white coat" he was wearing to indicate his identity as a doctor, or because he didn't make any gestures to raise his gun to shoot, and the musketeers on the biker tacitly didn't shoot at him.
Rao was like this, the dense shrapnel like rain flew around, and the ejected shrapnel also injured him in many places.
If it drags on any longer, sooner or later they will either be captured or shot indiscriminately.
......
Immediately behind Wren and them, dozens of micro-mechanical cities of strange thieves escaped from the encirclement one after another.
But obviously, there are more encirclement and suppression legions in the Omar Empire, and one after another mechanical cavalry has appeared, like hyenas besieging bison, constantly eating away at this group of deserters in pursuit...
Those strange thieves didn't stupidly break through in clusters, but scattered and rushed in all directions. The warring sides chased over the vast wasteland, and the battle line grew longer and longer.
Wren also thought about jumping out of the car.
He also deliberately observed, now that the battle line has been stretched out, the main cavalry of the Omar Empire's mechanics are all aiming to besiege those mechanical cities.
The small shrimp that jumped in three or two will not attract people's attention at all.
But if you jump out of the car, you will end up being captured by the soldiers searching the battlefield.
Therefore, he must have a high-speed means of transportation to escape from the ambush circle.
And this individual steam motorcycle in front of you is the best choice!
"Huh... If it's a motorcycle-like operation, why don't you try it? ”
Suddenly, Wren looked at the ring steam motorcycles behind him that had been shot and fell, and the bold idea in his mind could no longer be suppressed.
Just now, the "smart brain" analyzed the driving methods of those riders, which seems to be no different from the motorcycles in the previous life.
In his previous life, he was known as the "little prince of locomotives", and he was not necessarily afraid of anyone in drag racing.
If he can grab a locomotive, no one in this wasteland will be able to catch him!
.......
"It's done!"
After a momentary decision, Wren still planned to take a risk.
Since you didn't plan to be a prisoner, how bad could the ending of jumping out of the car be?
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate at all, and jumped directly from the skeleton mechanical city that had already soared out of the sky.
Leaping, landing, rolling, playing dead...
Luckily, as he had guessed, no one paid any attention to his little shrimp who jumped out of the car...
All the bikers chased after the Machine City.
After the large army roared past him, Wren couldn't take a breath, quietly touched the side of a steam motorcycle that fell to the ground, pulled down the corpse on the car, and then rode it himself!
The motorcycle's miniature steam boiler hadn't been turned off yet, and when I got on it, the accelerator twisted, and the big wheels spun rapidly.
The violent push on the back made it feel like riding on an angry bull.
"It's done!"
Wren was in ecstasy.
With a lot of motorcycle experience, he only got used to it a little, and he was able to easily control these two steam motorcycles.
Then, he chose a very different direction from the main army and rushed wildly...
As he expected, no one cared about a fish that slipped through the net,
Even if the mechanical corps saw this "deserter", no one came to chase him during this encirclement and suppression.
What's more, if you want to chase it, you can't see it...
