Chapter 17: The Three-Legged Monster
Zhongzhengguo, the canned cola beverage market has been monopolized by two major brands all year round.
One is a palatable card with a color palette of red and white, and the other is a Pepsi card that prefers blue and white.
The two have been fighting equally, from price, publicity to packaging materials, you copy me, I copy you.
A few years ago, Coca-Cola brand cans used high-quality aluminum alloy as the main ingredient, and Pepsi brand quickly followed.
As a result, these two cans quickly became the focus of scavengers, picking up a plastic bottle that could be compared to several plastic bottles.
This is also cheaper Xiao Yu, the aluminum alloy of cans is a good thing, lighter than iron, stronger, corrosion-resistant, and has its own metal reflection.
Of course, more importantly, this thing doesn't cost money!
Xiao Yu has dozens of such empty cans piled up at home, all of which are usually drunk and put away waiting to be sold for money.
Now that there is an army of barbarians in Lilliputia, Xiao Yu thought that these cans with good materials can be used to equip these outlaws.
As for the actual effect, isn't this going to be a real battle?
…………
The Molten Iron Fort is built on a mountain, which means that it only needs to build three walls, and the cliff on which it is backed by a kilometer high can be climbed by ordinary people!
Speaking of which, when he heard that Anrique, the king of the Steel Capital, was coming to attack the city with a group of barbarians, the old lord of the Melting Iron Fort was not very convinced.
With Enrique's IQ, he should know the strength of the Molten Iron Castle, how could he come to touch a stone with an egg?
In the past 500 years, the Molten Iron Fort has not been attacked head-on, and every time it surrendered, it was not because it was besieged until it ran out of ammunition and food?
What's more, the old city lord also learned that Grand Duke Yanan attaches great importance to this Enrique, and is doing his best to gather an army, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to Enrique's side!
"It should be a strategy to attack the west, General Babu is also a famous general of the kingdom, it should be easy to make such a strategy and successfully hide from our spies."
The old lord sat in the castle tower and talked in a low voice with his cronies, enjoying a delicious breakfast as he spoke.
"This is the honey meat steak sent by the king, how many years have passed, and it still tastes like this, it is the change of the master's family." The old city lord wiped his mouth with a gauze towel, and was about to ask his cronies to arrange a few beautiful girls to let him exercise after dinner.
Suddenly!
Bang! The whole castle shook at once!
There was a loud bang, but the saucer with the honey-glazed steak slipped to the ground.
The old city lord didn't care about stepping on these leftovers, so he hurriedly came to the window and pushed it open.
Suddenly, a cold wind rushed into the room with the shouts of 10,000 people, stimulating the old man's fragile eardrums.
"Oh my God! Enrique is here for real! ”
Looking at the dense army on the horizon outside the window, and listening to the high morale shouts in his ears, the old city lord was long-winded and couldn't believe it.
Touch!
The door was opened, and several high-ranking officers hurried over: "Lord of the city! The enemy is coming! ”
Call...... After the old city lord clenched his fists and quickly calmed down, he turned around and shouted with a majestic face:
"Panic what! Haven't the garrisons already been arranged? ”
"I'm waiting for a molten iron castle under my feet! A molten iron fortress that no one has been able to break for 500 years! ”
"Yes...... Yes, Lord City Lord, it's just that the officer led by ......" took a few steps forward with a sweaty head, and his body also leaned down: "The enemy seems to have a powerful world wonder to help, and our army is a little unstable!" ”
"Huh?" The old city lord was shocked, and hurriedly pushed everyone out of the city tower.
When you come to the city wall, your vision is wide, so the old city lord can see the panorama ahead.
When he saw the direction pointed by the officers, the long-tested old man couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
One hundred and eighty meters tall giants, even from a distance, they are extremely amazing, those barbarians who are about the same height as themselves and others, in front of the giant, they are as inconspicuous as ants.
It's amazing to have one such monster! But what's the situation now? Why is there a one-eyed steel mount with eyes bigger than the house and a body much thicker than the giant sitting down on that hundred-meter-level giant!
Yes, the body of the mount that makes people's scalps tingle must be covered with a layer of steel, although it is painted with a layer of blue, how can it not be seen in the eyes of knight-level transcendents? Inside the blue coating is steel that is too thick to detect!
It was the three round, seemingly very elastic legs that made the old city lord confused, he had never seen a similar monster in his life and the material covering it.
However, he added to his fear of the electric tricycle, and after confirming that the mounted monster was not a living being, he regarded it as another world wonder in the hands of giants like everyone else.
"Look, city lord, the giant's mount seems to be able to load troops, and the loud noise just now was caused by that mount." An officer approached the old lord and whispered:
"It seems to have opened the door at the back, and you can see that the cart moving next to the wheels of the mount came out of there."
"Hmm...... Let's hope this thing is too restrictive to be used in battle. ”
The old city lord still had an eye, and after seeing the huge electric tricycle covered with steel armor, the old man was keenly aware that the balance of victory was tilting in favor of the king of the steel capital.
He didn't dare to imagine how destructive this electric tricycle would be in the plains, facing thousands of troops and horses to charge! He doubted that the pride of the kingdom, the legionary phalanx, would be mercilessly crushed, slaughtered and sacrificed to the point of pointlessness by the three-legged monster......
"The big cars are unfolding...... It seems to be some kind of projectile machine! A cronie beside the old city lord said strangely: "It's too far, it's at least fifteen hundred meters away from us." ”
"Fifteen hundred meters away?" The old city lord frowned and asked, "What about our ballista, can it hit there?" ”
"It's impossible to hit, it's too far." The cronies shook their heads: "The farthest distance of the ballista is only eight hundred meters, and even if that world wonder is used, it is only about one thousand two hundred meters." ”
"After the other party lays it, it should be pushed over along with the siege vehicle and the ladder." The cronies said this, but found that the corners of the old city lord's mouth trembled.
"Their siege engines and men moved, but the stone throwers did not!"
"Damn! They're assembling stones! They're going to shoot! ”
"Impossible, such a long distance......" The cronies took a step back, unable to believe that the stone-throwing machine would shoot, and the old city lord pushed him away with one hand and strode to the wall and shouted: "Get ready!" The war has begun! ”
Xiao Yu drove an electric tricycle to carry the slower siege troops and a large number of logistics supplies, making the army march much faster.
After breakfast, the morale-high army soon saw that the walls of the Molten Iron Fort began to stop repairing.
Xiao Yu also took the opportunity to stand in the car and look at the target in front of him, which can be regarded as a big city in Lilliputian.
Speaking of which, this molten iron castle is also quite large, covering an area at least comparable to an indoor tennis court, and the mountain range behind it is also more than ten meters high, which is quite dangerous.
The terrain in the fortress is complex, many areas are uneven, and the houses are mainly layered on top of each other, which is a bit of a mountain city.
"No wonder it can only be a besieged fortress, and the terrain has a great advantage!"
"However, I'm here prepared this time, so let me achieve the first time in Molten Iron Castle!"
"Ignition!"
After getting Xiao Yu's nod, the artillerymen of Xiao Yu's personal guard, who had almost become Xiao Yu's personal guard, smeared the stone bullets on the stone throwing machine with a layer of pitch-black gasoline.
Xiao Yu actually wanted to use alcohol at first, but after realizing that the wine thing was too tempting to the natives of Lilliputia, he had to go to someone to ask for a liter of gasoline under the pretext of chemical experiments.
Otherwise, a group of shirtless men with hot bodies surrounded the stone bullets larger than them in various postures from all directions, and secretly licked them from time to time, and licked them again......
Not...... This picture is so beautiful, Xiao Yu doesn't dare to look at it.
