On June 27, 1030, the Imperial Capital Celestial Tower, a total area of 500 square meters in the state hall.

His Majesty the Emperor, dressed in a military presidential gown, sat on a gilded chair, and on a huge table in front of him was a military sand table of the northern land and Mediterranean regions of the empire. Standing on the edge of the table, six knightly officers were pushing the legion representing the empire on the sand table with a long metal pusher.

On the military sand table, the northern army of the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth, the front line of the north, is under siege. The Dragon's Tooth family's operations in the north were nearly wiped out, but Saint Thauk was a behemoth that encountered unexpected pain, and the war machine that had been on standby was violently put into operation.

Saint Sauk assembled fifty divisions in the south, and a large amount of supplies were gathered in several fortresses near the imperial capital. At sea, St. Sauc has a firm grasp of the sea control in the western Mediterranean. Now the empire is massing its fleet in the Mediterranean.

Chan Hong, a commander who has just been promoted to general, is looking for the 'right opportunity' to intervene in the battle.

The knight on the edge of the sand table said to the emperor who was on the throne: "Your Majesty, the scale of the military attack of the Hella people this time has exceeded our expectations, according to our military simulation, the army of the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth can last for twenty days. ”

After the preliminary explanation of the battle situation by the officers on the sand table, in the time gap between the officers rearranging the sand table, the emperor asked Xu Ling, who was in the black military police uniform next to him: "What happened to the gunfire?" ”

Xu Ling replied with a blank look: "Your Majesty, the latest news from the north, the gunfire has ordered the industrial equipment and mechanics in the territory to move to the south. It is expected that all of them will be able to arrive near the new industrial zone of the imperial capital in two weeks. ”

The Emperor nodded, and his gaze turned to the military map. In this war, His Majesty the Emperor had a big scheming.

As the number one powerful vassal in the north of St. Sauk, the Dragon's Tooth has relied on them for more than two hundred years. But that doesn't mean the royal family of St. Sauce likes this kind of leaning. As soon as the opportunity arises, the royal family will inadvertently weaken the local principality. For hundreds of years, the flame of the gun was a pawn of the empire. However, as a simple mechanic family, Gun Flame was unable to fully balance the Dragon's Tooth in the past. And when Binghe became a fortress, Gun Flame had the strength to divide the dragon's tooth military power in the north.

Of course, it is not possible to completely support the spear flame to replace the dragon's tooth, so when there are signs of the invasion of the Hela people in the north, the royal family's plan is to properly weaken the dragon's tooth, and appropriately let the spear flame achieve war merits, and the title is promoted to marquis. Of course, it is better to remind the naughty fortress of the Gun Flame Family, and it is better to place some advanced weapons research and development in the imperial capital area, and not to make any small moves below without permission.

Look at this war, how well the royal family of Saint Sauce planned, killing three birds with one stone. Before everything happened, Emperor Jialong was really a ghost.

However, after the start of the war, a large number of unplanned factors forced His Majesty, the chess player, to tear up the complicated ideas before the war.

The first is the Hela people, and the invasion of the Hella people this time is beyond the imagination of the empire. The Emperor was amazed by the sheer amount of machinery and equipment of the Hela. The quantity of these mechanical equipment is difficult to come up with in the mainland's first-class mechanical powerhouse Oka. And Hela, an industrially backward country, now has more than 3,000 mechanized vehicles on the front line.

The steel torrent of the Hela led to the rapid collapse of the Northern Legion led by Dragontooth, and now the Empire's Northern Legion can only retreat to the western coastline, relying on the western coastal line fortifications and fleet fire support, and fighting with the abundant material support provided by the sea line of communication.

The Dragon's Tooth family collapsed too quickly, allowing the royal family's original plan to weaken the northern powerful domain too hard. Now the Emperor stared at the sandbox, trying to correct the previous plan.

However, when he was looking at the battle situation, Emperor Jialong saw Xu Ling's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping on the side, and couldn't help but turn his head again and ask, "Xu Ling, is there anything else to say?" ”

Xu Ling: "Your Majesty, although most of the core members of the Gun Flame Clan have retreated to the south, there are still some people who are still staying in the north. ”

The movements of the knight's hand on the sand table slowed down, and the emperor asked slowly, "Let me guess if the person left in the north by the Gun Flame family is a seventeen-year-old boy." ”

The Emperor's tone was neither light nor heavy, but everyone could hear that the Emperor was accumulating strength.

Xu Ling nodded, and then added carefully: "The Dragon Guard mecha in the experiment is also in the north now. ”

"Smack" The Emperor slammed the table and asked, "What the hell is Slote doing?" I asked him to take someone to keep an eye on him, not to let him mess around with this little savage. ”

Xu Lingquan said: "Your Majesty, that spear flame Binghe decided to accept Slote as a knight to serve. ”

The atmosphere became quiet, and several knights in the hall stopped moving.

After a long time, the emperor paused: "Who else is messing around with him?" ”

Xu Ling: "There are also five knights from the West, and twenty-three mechanics from the Gunflame family. ”

In the hall, the sound of clocks clattering.

The Emperor couldn't hear the angry voice and said, "In other words, the seventeen-year-old fortress of the Gun Flame Family is now very leading. If this sentence is said to be Canhong, the courtiers in the hall will immediately compliment, but now it is talking about the gunfire and the core of the sun, and the atmosphere in the sunny meeting hall is treacherous.

[On June 29, 1030 in the steam calendar, under the bombardment of heavy artillery shells, the Red Dragon Fortress was breached]

In the streets of the city, pitch-black chariots spewed black smoke, and manganese steel tracks cut through the trenches and crushed the ruins, crushing the broken bricks even more.

The gray-uniformed Hela soldiers, hunched over the back of their chariots, trotted into the ruined city, occasionally examining the corpses with bayonets for anything of value.

Three kilometers away from the Red Dragon Fortress, a super-heavy tank weighing more than 200 tons is stationed here, with a total of three turrets, quite the majesty of a Land Cruiser.

A seventeen-year-old white-haired boy as handsome as a woman was looking at the conquered city, and his golden pupils were extremely proud.

This is a member of the ruling family of the Hela people, Feather Smoke. Bai Xun. The current class is a high-level knight, and the class that can be promoted in the future is the authority.

Bai Xun stood at the top of the turret and watched the distant queue of chariots slowly enter the central area of the city through the far-sighted technique.

And at the top of the most central building of the Red Dragon Fortress, on the top of the charred black tower, the vanguard soldiers of the Hela people raised a banner of the sun, moon and stars.

The young man said triumphantly to the telegraph operator next to him: "Call back to the mother, tell her that the northern gateway of St. Sauc has been penetrated by us. Next, I'm going to crush the clay-footed giant of Saint Sauk. ”

[Four hours after the Red Dragon Tournament was taken, the Hela legions approached the Connecting Canal between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea]

The Hellas were surprised to see the canal blocked by the river gunboats of St. Sauce, so they dragged the mass killer south.

This is a super train gun, seven carriages, four of which carry turrets of caliber 400 millimeters, and the remaining three carriages are ammunition compartments. A huge robotic arm that pushes the shell into the direction of the turret car. Subsequently, twenty workers used a crowbar to pry the shells onto the automatic tracks, propelled by steam machinery, into the chambers, and immediately began to shell the canal.

On the steam train, in the hustle and bustle of six hundred sappers, the turret rudder on the train rotated, and the parameters corrected by the artillery officer were communicated to the whole car.

The barrels of the guns were pointed in the direction of the canal.

With a loud bang that silenced everything, the blast wave from the muzzle of the cannon spread spherically. A tree forty meters away, after being swept away by the shock wave, directly lost a quarter of its leaves.

The body of the hundreds of tons of trains suddenly recoiled with the recoil, connected to the fixed steel columns and rails on the ground, and collectively retreated backwards by a third of a meter. The track foundation squeezed out folds in the earth.

This kind of train cannon has a huge disadvantage if it is against a fleet at sea, and there is a large area of water at sea for warships to maneuver. But on a river channel with a maximum width of only 300 meters, a gunboat of 3,000 tons has to think about the problem of running aground, and it is necessary to consider the drifting mines in the river, and it cannot be quickly evaded.

When the 800-kilogram high-explosive bomb fell 10 meters away from the hull of the ship, the white column of water that exploded near the miss, like a towering tree covering the building, sheltered the 2,000-3,000-ton warship.

In a bird's-eye view, the high-density fire projectile of the train cannon had an effect.

Three battleships were hit in the river. The time of the hit was completely different from the explosion of the white column of water that fell in the waterway, and the flames were suddenly released on the steel plates, and a large number of debris flew sideways.

After forty minutes of fire from the land shore artillery, St. Sauk's Black Sea Fleet failed to blockade the river and was forced to retreat south.

Three hours later, at the narrowest part of the river, the Hela erected a solid pontoon bridge, and the Hela chariot drove into the southern bank of the empire.

However, the rapid march of the Hela people ushered in a setback.

On the launch site 3,000 meters south of the Gun Flame Territory Observatory, a 16-meter-high 'pencil head' was erected. This is a two-stage ballistic missile built in the family of Binghe this year, propelled by liquid oxygen and propane. The warhead weighs two tons, has a range of 400 kilometers, and is expected to be able to reach a range of 50 meters.

The technical level of this missile:

Just one example: In the 21st century, the missile shell is made of aluminum or even carbon fiber, while the nuclear steel shell is used, and the whole missile is very heavy.

In the twenty-first century, a solid missile of the same weight can be pulled by a truck on a highway with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers.

Now these liquid-fueled missiles, transported by train to the launch site, spend an hour to fill the fuel, and the range is only 400 kilometers.

However, although the overall technology is backward, each subsystem corresponds to modern ballistic missiles, which can be described as complete.

On the observatory, which serves as a launch center, the industrial painting style of many eras is mixed in

The levitation mirror around Bing Core looks very much like the holographic interface of Earth at the end of the 21st century.

The mechanical knob switches on the indoor operating equipment, as well as the ammeter and voltmeter pointers, are the atmosphere of the instrument factories in the sixties and seventies of China.

But the rivets of the railings on the observatory are Victorian steam-style.

Binghe is holding the microphone and giving instructions to the leaders of each group.

The front-line operator of the outdoor operation is reporting to the team leader through the walkie-talkie equipment. The missile control room is full of stereotypical technical jargon.

And in this solemn atmosphere, footsteps could be heard from the stairs of the observatory. The knight guarding the door of the observatory turned his head to look, confirmed the identity of the visitor, and after whispering a conversation with his companion, the knight pressed the button on the door.

The light in front of the table flickered, and Binghe got up from his seat and walked to the door.

The visitor is Bing's big brother. Roth.

At the aisle, Binghe first looked down at his watch, then looked up at Roth and asked, "Haven't you left yet?" ”

Luo Si stared at Binghe and asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Binghe paused and said: "I'm a fortress, so I slipped away, how faceless!"

Facing Binghe's cynical appearance, Roth's face changed, and then he said solemnly: "The empire has sent a telegram, and there are the latest instructions." ”

Binghe turned his head to pay attention to the final operation process of the people in the control room, and asked as if he didn't care about Roth's words, "What did the old man over there say?" ”

Roth's tone was solemn with a bit of persuasion: "Emperor ** Ministry, I hope you will report to Postna before 10 am on the 1st." ”

Binghe: "First of all, I am worthy of the empire, and secondly, I am not under the control of the military department. ”

Binghe turned his head back and asked, "Where has our father been these days, I haven't seen him." ”

Roth: "Father, on the cruiser Taurus. ”

Binghe turned his head suspiciously to look at the Black Sea portion of the battle map on the other side.

In the past few days, in the process of unfolding the nuclear field and looking down on the huge strategic battlefield, I have some understanding of the important combat units of St. Sauk in the region.

The cruiser Taurus is the capital ship that the Black Sea Fleet is preparing to order this year, and now after the start of the battle, the battleship quietly left port for testing two days ago. This abnormal phenomenon made Binghe a little confused at the time, and now that he learned that it was his father on the battleship, Bing's core was full of weirdness.

I couldn't help but be surprised in my heart: "What is a single ship doing in the northern waters of the Black Sea at this time?" A single ship counterattack? Or play on the Black Sea bathtub? ”

Binghe turned his inquiring gaze to the deputy commander of the Black Sea Fleet in front of him.

He didn't give Binghe any answer, but looked at Binghe with a meaningful gaze, and then said with a little meaning: "When my father leaves, let me tell you that in this war, you should not be captured by the Hela people. ”

Binghe sneered at "this is ridiculous" on his face, and then also threw a sentence to the eldest brother: "Tell my father that he doesn't understand his son." ”

Binghe snapped his fingers and used magic to command everyone in the control room to fire.

At the launch site three kilometers away, the personnel began the countdown to report.

At this time, Binghe also opened the realm to the maximum, and the system of the whole body's magic veins began to operate overload (it could only last for five minutes).

Binghe raised his head to look at the warhead rising from the south, and said while guiding and controlling: "I don't like to fight with each other in the inseparability between friend and foe. I like the 'promise is kept' environment, and I lead by example in order to have that environment. ”

Spear Flame Roth also looked up at the light spots rising in batches, lowered his voice (afraid of disturbing the Binghe operation) and said, "What do you want to do now?" Do you want to fight to the death with the Hela? ”

"Are you alive or dead?" In Binghe's tone, it was as if he had heard something incredible.

Roth breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Binghe's rhetorical question.

Just when Roth thought that Binghe was going to say something that denied 'fighting to the death with the Hela'.

Binghe Export shocked and explained: "What is it, I want to fight with the Hella people? It seems that what I said is wrong, obviously they provoked me first, so I don't have the right to defend to the death? ”

Roth: "You?!" ”

Ignore Roth's madness, and the different colors of those knights.

Binghe said: "Don't worry, everything is ready, the future of the family may only be better, and I will not cause trouble for the family." If you look at the combined industry of the Empire now, even if you don't have me as a fortress, with the role of mechanical vehicles in this war, the Empire will continue to reuse the Gun Flame Family. Instead of caring about me, you might as well care about what our dad is doing? I'm a little busy here. After saying that, Binghe looked down at his watch again.

Binghe's tone already carried the intention of sending off the guest.

Roth was about to say more, but finally sighed and walked down the observatory stairs. Rose was afraid of the knight on the side, so he didn't say anything.

Scenario 1

A minute later, downstairs at the observatory.

Roth walked out of the observatory and was greeted by Liyun. But seeing the gloomy expression on his father's face, and the smile on his face turned into apprehension, Liyun asked, "Dad, what about Binghe?" Which train did he take (retreat)? Won't he go with us? ”

Roth turned his head to look at his daughter, frowned, and said, "You should call him uncle." Also, don't worry about things you shouldn't be thinking about, and don't think about things you shouldn't think about. ”

Scenario two

Three minutes later, on the observatory, downstairs after Roth left in a car.

Bing He, who was shining wantonly in the whole body of the Spreading Domain, moved away from the windowsill, turned around and said to the four knights behind him, "Dare to ask, how dare you be?" ”

The knights looked at each other, and the knight Shigeaki at the head said, "My lord, the order of the empire is to let you"

"How's the guts?" Binghe asked in an emphatic tone.

The knight took a deep breath and replied, "Your Excellency, courage is glory. ”

Binghe said, "Really? Well, I believe you. ”

Binghe walked over to the railing, facing north.

Scenario 3:

Four minutes after the launch of the missile.

On the large river channel, pontoons are strung together by ropes on the river surface, while huge logs are densely arranged on the pontoons, and a pontoon bridge is quickly formed on the river.

On both sides of the pontoon bridge are troops that have already crossed the river and those waiting to cross the river.

On the pontoon bridge, a detachment of cavalry was passing at a rapid pace. A knight (profession) stood on this side of the pontoon, and as a divisional officer, he was now directing the troops to swim across the bridge. Suddenly, the knight sensed something, and he pushed the brim of his hat, and immediately turned on television to look at the sky, but his pupils contracted in horror.

Three points of light appeared in the sky, and these points of light were rapidly descending. In the sky, warheads with more than three times the speed of sound pulled straight lines and landed on flat ground, and these glowing lines ended in canals.

And one of the points of light seemed to be flying towards itself. Looking at the closer and closer points of light, the knight's heart was filled with great fear, which was the instinctive reaction of the creature in the face of an unreasonable natural disaster.

However, after a few seconds, it was all over. A huge fire burst on the south bank of this pontoon bridge, and the entire wooden plank of the pontoon bridge was directly lifted away by the shock wave, and the ring-shaped shock wave swept the river surface, and any floating objects were lifted like milk skin.

The armored vehicles on the shore were reduced to flattened tin cans in an instant, and the logs of the pontoon bridge shattered worse than tiles under the shock wave that destroyed the steel walls. Two hundred meters away from the center of the explosion, the flames ignited all combustibles. The artillery, which had just been transported to the south, was bombarded with ammunition boxes, and then there was a martyrdom. The fragments of the exploding shells re-shot the people who were not dead within a few hundred meters.

At a distance of two hundred and fifty meters, the lethality of the shock wave was not so strong, but the tall horses were still as thin as luoli under the shock wave, and they were directly pushed down, and the dust carried by the shock wave was raised to six or seven hundred meters away. Even more devastating than direct damage was panic, and in the dust, a large number of troops scattered and fired indiscriminately, and some began to stab with guns in order to fight for a horse. The horses, too, were infected by the panic of the human race, and rushed out of the crowd, trampling the injured and fallen human body with iron hooves.

In half an hour, sixteen heavy missiles fell from the sky in five batches. Fourteen of them accurately damaged pontoon bridges, bridges under repair, and docks where ships gathered. The remaining two missed by one kilometer, and although they did not cause substantial damage, they also caused great chaos on the ferry. The momentum of the Hela army's southward offensive was temporarily halted.

Of course, long-range ballistic missiles, with the industrial volume of the gun flame family, are manufactured in limited quantities. This is that the resources in Binghe's hands are not enough, if only the core area of the capital of the Saint Sauk Empire is threatened, the nobles of the empire will give Binghe resources, and Binghe can increase the production of this missile by about 150 in a year.

Of course, if the inner circle of the imperial capital was threatened, the industrial base controlled by the northern part of the empire would have been dismantled long ago, and the nuclear core of the proletarians would not be as urgent as it is now.

When the blow from the sky came, Baekhun was in the temporary command center on the north bank, and standing on the dirt slope, he witnessed this image in the sky like an ICBM guide.

As the bright light of the explosion on the skyline dozens of kilometers away flickered, tiny mushroom clouds rose.

See this scene of feather smoke. Bai Xun was stunned, his eyes were full of surprise and some indescribable looks.

Then he muttered to himself, "This? Could it be! The young knight clenched his fingers, his eyes showed a seriousness that he had not seen before, and then chuckled: "Can't help but make a move?" ”

Half an hour later, after learning that all the pontoon bridges crossing the river had been cut off.

He ordered the knights who were loyal to him at his side: "The crossing must be resumed within an hour." Continue the offensive to the south. ”

On the other side, the general who was in charge of the southward attack heard Bai Xun's order and said cautiously: "Your Highness, according to intelligence, in the Battle of West a year ago, ultra-long-range rocket weapons appeared, and the fortress of the Gun Flame Family should be over there. ”

Bai Xun came back to his senses from his thoughts, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had accepted an interesting challenge, and he shook his head slightly: "Yes, it's over there." We've come across an extra prize. ”

Baek Hoon didn't seem to be angry about the current situation.

He said to the worried general on the side: "I know, I know, the fortress of the Gun Flame Family, is the one, the Gun Flame Family that my mother asked me to pay attention to, and the mother said, 'On the premise of ensuring victory, try to treat them as favorably.'" 'Huh,'"

Bai Xun looked at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, as if he was stimulated, and as if he had really found a happy toy, he said with a smile: "It is indeed worthy of preferential treatment, I will send a report to the north shore of the Black Sea and tell my mother that I have met my lovely brother now, but his temper is very short-tempered, and it will take me a lot of pain." ”
