Chapter 15: Pioneers

The more than 2,000-ton Tenjin Tank # rumbled by, its two floors were six meters high, forty-seven meters long and thirty-one meters wide. The turret had a strange shape, and on the broad hull of the tank was a rotating square turret with a diameter of ten meters and seven fortresses, and this square turret was very large, as large as a small building. On the sides of this huge cube, there are two battleship turret-like turrets, and since they are on the sides of this cylinder, these two turrets are vertical to the Earth battleship turrets. The rotation of the turrets of battleships on Earth is horizontal, and the rotation direction of the "small" turrets on both sides of the main turret of this Celestial tank is indeed in the elevation direction.

It is said that it is a "small" turret on both sides of the main battery, but in fact it is not small at all, and the caliber of the gun mounted on it is 220 mm, and the huge barrel of 12 meters long. The ammunition feeding structure inside the square turret is also the structure of the naval turret, where the heavy warhead and the powder bag are loaded separately.

This moving castle-like steel monster drove over, making people unconsciously retreat. Not only people, but even horses are as eager to get away from this moving steel monster as if they were hiding from the Scourge God. The driving of the Tenjin Tank makes the people and animals in front of you feel like they are facing a landslide and a rock collapse.

With a weight of more than 2,000 tons, the total weight of the Gustav train guns of the Nazis in World War II was only 1,350 tons. Such a super tank can be put into the Red Alert world to beat the Apocalypse Tank, of course, provided that there is a copper mine in the Red Alert world. Rear of the Tenjin tank. Two exhaust pipes with a diameter of one meter emitted white smoke from burning. The behemoth's engine is powered by hydrogen gas emitted from the ore treatment into the combustion chamber to propel a steam runner. The high thrust generated by the calorific value of hydrogen combustion produced by the ore is not comparable to the power of the engines that burn coal on the earth.

The arrival of two such god tanks meant the arrival of Giacomo's main force, and the two huge god tanks boosted the morale of the Miana army like sacred totems. Just as the 19th-century #battleship was used as a totem of national pride on Earth, the Celestial Tank was also a symbol of the power created by industrial nations in the era in which Van Xi lived.

The Celestial Tank also brought the final psychological destruction to the soldiers who still held out in the prosperous city-state in the smoke and dust, and hundreds of steam cannons fired across the covering fire, while the two Celestial tanks increased their horsepower and rushed towards the soldiers who were lining up near the steel hill. Mortars in one of the city-states' military districts attempted to fire at the end of the ultimate war machine. The spherical shell crossed an arc and landed twenty meters in front of the Celestial tank, bounced off a puff of dust and exploded onto the front armor of the tank. After the rumbling firelight flickered, the Celestial Tank burst out of the smoke of the explosion without hindrance. The armor in front was only charred black. did not penetrate the armor, the huge square tower of the Celestial Tank rotated, and the elevation angle of the turrets on both sides was raised, Ren Di looked at the direction of the elevation angle of the two turrets of the Celestial Tank, and he could already make up the scope cross of the gunner of the turret of the Celestial Tank, aiming at the military area.

The slender heavy cannon barrel pierced out the flame sword, and the flame sword pointed, almost instantly, a high-explosive bomb exploded on the tall building of the military district. The cannon of the Celestial Tank is different from the steam cannon, it is a cannon, and the cannon is discharged quickly, and the trajectory of the shell is not visible to the naked eye. The muzzle flame flickered, and the target at a distance of 400 meters immediately exploded. The shock wave lifted the mortar cannon on the building of the military district, and the thick and short mortar with its strong weight impulse smashed it, and many buildings flew out pieces of debris, and the mortar cannon was like a mud bowl smashed into the ground and split in half in the process of falling and colliding.

Five seconds after one gun fired, the square turret of the Celestial Tank rotated slightly, and the other gun was aimed at the target, and the second time it fired, the already tragic military zone once again burst into huge flames in the same position. Suddenly, a violent flash of light exploded from the military building, and then a mushroom cloud rose in the place of the military district.

Ren Di was a little stunned, this explosion was obviously not the power that the Heavenly God Tank's cannon could cause. It was apparently the ammunition depot in the military zone that had been blown up. After the Celestial Tank, with its spear-like barrel, completed the lore, the turret slowly turned to aim at the trembling cavalry infantry in front of it. These Condo Eri knights were already stupefied by this powerful industrial warfare machine. If the Tenjin Tank is alone, the knights can take advantage of the turret steering to slow down and have the strength to make a stop, but the Tenjin Tank is flanked by a large number of Miyana soldiers, as well as mechanized troops. The tracks of the tank rumbled over. These last resistance forces collapsed, the army collapsed like a mountain, and when the courage of the army to fight was gone, it could not be called an army.

Thousands of soldiers poured into the tattered and prosperous city-state, and the banner of Miyana's mechanical gear fluttered at the highest point of the prosperous city-state, heralding the end of the entire Battle of the Plains of Dilsey. Venucci's ally, Hilari, spent 90% of his military strength on this rich land, known as the Vansi Reserve. Miana's troops had already pointed to the cliffs of Fliglo, the stronghold of Hilario's soldiers.

Due to the consumption of a large number of living forces in Dilsey, the guards of the Fliglow Cliffs were already insufficient. And there was also a political crisis within Fliglo, where the opposition began to put up armed resistance. And then under such a back# scene. Miana had the perfect time to attack Fliglo.

However, while Dilsey's long campaign, which lasted for more than four months, had inflicted heavy casualties on the living forces of Fliglo, Miana had also wasted a lot of time, and another ally of Governor Venucci, King Roque of the Wasteland, was invading southeast, taking Monty Lagula and Van Lhasa (the place where the Doge dug up the radiation machinery). This is already approaching the capital of Miana.

In other words, the main forces must return to defense. But the opportunity to attack Fliglo was a rare one. This choice does not exist in the game of Ren Di's world, and the plot will be triggered after each battle, that is, no matter how long you play a plot battle in the game, the game will not affect the development of the plot by default. And now the fierce battle on the Great Plains of Dilsey for four months has seriously affected the development of the plot.

This kind of unexpected situation is precisely what the surviving traversers could not have predicted.

"We need a forward force to reach Vliglow, and this vanguard force will maintain a presence in Vliglow until our main force comes into contact with the crisis in the capital. It will take about three months. General Kalini proposed at a strategic meeting.

The proposal made perfect sense, and Kalini swiped his finger across the map of the land of Van Si and said to Giacomo: "Pass through Condottiari, take this place and attack the Silya Forest." ”

Giacomo: "Condotti Ari? Lianlana: "Condoti Ari! The two men said in surprise. That's right, it's Condoti Aire. Kalini said in a certain tone.

After arriving in this world for more than half a year, Ren Di and several other travelers have a general understanding of the political situation in this world. This place is of great significance, and the power of the wheel industry is very weak, but this is the capital of the ancient Van Si Empire, and the Kondot Ti Ri cavalry camps that are now all over Van Si are the form of mercenary battalions that were transformed into mercenary camps by the imperial legions stationed in various places after the disintegration of the Van Si Empire. The Condoti Ari Barracks can be found throughout the continent of Van Si. It can be seen how glorious the ancient Fansi Empire was when it unified Fanxi, and now Fansi is whether it is the royal family of Miana, the Hilary of Fliglo, and the king of Roque in the wasteland. All have a history of being canonized by the ancient Fanxi Empire to express their submission to the empire.

The term Empire is no ordinary title, despite the blind rejection of technology by the inhabitants of Condoti Ari, who do not want it to affect the knightly class. Outdated, but the former capital of the empire is still the capital of glory.

The supreme administrator of the kingdom of Miana only dared to call himself king, but never emperor. Miana's march into Condoti Ari can be vividly described with a Chinese allusion. King Chuzhuang led his troops to the capital of Zhou Tianzi, and pointed to the giant tripod inherited by the Zhou Dynasty and asked him for two catties! Winning geometry.

The corners of Ren Di's mouth twitched, and he looked at Kalini, the bald uncle. Is this persuasion? Why did the other world come to this too? Sure enough, there was nothing new under the sun. Seemingly ignoring everyone's strange gazes, General Kalini continued.

"According to the current investigation, there are now two factions fighting for Condottiari, one is the Montuccio, who now occupy the castle, and the other is the Follie, who have now united more than eighty percent of the forces of the entire Condoti Ari, and are ready to seize the castle of Condottiari."

Giacomo looked at Condottiari's information and said, "I'm going to help the Montuchiou. We don't have time to take Condoti Ari, and we should mediate this conflict as a transcendent force. Support the weaker Montuchio to hold the castle and maintain our influence in the region. ”

After all, Giacomo still said that he had some diplomatic judgment, and he didn't want to be jealous until he defeated the governor. And mediate Condoti Eri's problems, use Condoti Eri's internal contradictions and cracks, insert it, and expand Miana's influence here step by step. Just defeat the Doge once and for all. As the most powerful industrial power in Fanxi, it was natural that it was qualified to establish a new empire.

However, this kind of diplomatic means, Ren Di is a little familiar, isn't this the number one-stirring stick on the earth, a trick played in South Asia during the Age of Discovery? didn't wait for Ren Di to finish sighing. "The next step is to choose the vanguard to attack the Fliglos. ”

"I'm willing to lead this mission." The loud voice attracted the attention of the members in the conference room, and Ren Di looked at Andrew differently, and he took the initiative to take the next task. didn't wait for Ren Di to come back to his senses. Andrew turned his head and smiled at Ren Di, and then smiled and said to the three big guys, Giacomo, Kalini, and Lianlana: "I need the assistance of Captain Artillery, Ren Di." ”

This sentence, like a thunderclap, exploded in Ren Di's ears. Ren Di roared inwardly: "That battlefield crisscrossed by cliffs is the same as the terrain of India-China, you need a gross heavy artillery." ”

Andrew continued: "It's best if Inoue mechanics can also work with me on this mission. Giacomo immediately said: "Artillery can be allocated to you, but Inoue can't, he is now in charge of several scientific and technological projects." ”

A hint of regret flashed in Andrew's eyes, and Kalini continued to ask, "Do you want anyone else?" Andrew shook his head. Ren Di's mind flashed a person's name - Vasirez (traverser) "He wants to drag the two competitors me, Inoue and Inoue, and then create opportunities for Vasirez." Ren Di understood, but there was no way to remedy it. Giacomo had already turned his gaze to himself and said, "Ensign, you and Second Lieutenant Andrew must stay in the Fliglo area for three months. ”
