Chapter Twenty-Four: Words of the Heart
The 150-millimeter caliber shells were ejected from the barrels of the guns hanging high in the distance, and the forward speed gradually disappeared, and the trajectory of the 1.5-meter-long round-headed shells gradually changed from a diagonal line to a completely straight line. It's as crisp as chopsticks poking into rice. The metal-colored heavy artillery shell cut into the earth with great ease, leaving a black hole like a deep well, but in an instant, high-speed shrapnel fire and explosive smoke erupted from the deep bullet hole in the earth. It soared to a height of more than 20 meters.
The explosion exploded five meters deep in the earth, and at the moment of the explosion, the earth was like a mosquito bite on human skin, and the whole earth was uplifted under the impetus of a violent explosion underground, and in the center of this bulging bag was the bullet hole left by the heavy artillery shell that ejected the power of the explosion. A large number of cracks suddenly appeared near the small mound bulging around this bullet hole. The hooves of a cavalryman's horse happened to be engulfed by the ground crack that had formed in this way, and the two legs of the entire back half of the horse's body instantly sank into the earth.
The small bulging mound was only instantaneous, and when the thrust of the explosion disappeared, the mound began to collapse. The crack formed by the bulge quickly closed due to the disappearance of the explosion, and the crack in the earth instantly crushed all the life trapped in the crack in the closing car. Just like our mouths suddenly opened, and then closed and bit down fiercely, the two legs of these military horses trapped in the crack were instantly crushed in the process of cracking, and the two thighs of the horses were simply crushed, and the two hind legs of the horses were directly bitten off, and the screams of the military horses matched the scene of blood spraying at the broken thighs. Stained the sunken land that had collapsed due to an explosion underground.
This is just a near-miss bullet, although the effect is a little terrifying, but compared to the lethality of this heavy artillery shell exploding on the surface, it is nothing, 150 mm heavy artillery shell, the range of the basketball court under one shot will be enveloped by the explosion of the death storm. However, now that this kind of explosion has penetrated the ground, the powerful destructive power of the heavy artillery shell has been weakened underground. The ground cracks or something, it's just that the fat man sits lightly on the sofa and the aftermath is always bigger than the movement of the bouncing thin man sitting down, this tonnage is here, and the slightest leakage of energy is terrifying to those who are close to them.
"Boat No. 3, the firing angle is adjusted, the ascent height is forty-two meters, and the elevation angle is ......" Finding that one of the airships under his command had released such a near-miss bomb, Ren Di said, Ren Di's order would be conveyed through the waving light signal.
On the cliffs of a mountain that looks like a god-made wall, a huge spindle airship slowly rises with a disc turret. Wisps of cotton wool cloud gas collided with the huge airship hull, turning into even finer debris along the airship body, and slashed against the smooth huge spindle-shaped airbag of the airship, just like a light veil across a woman's smooth skin.
Beneath the airship was a magnificent hillside covered with alpine vegetation, a steam fortress on the ground like a staircase, and three rows of chimneys were broken, two of which were no longer hot white gases in their normal state, but black smoke from the fire. The embrasures in the steam fortress are launching #Liquid Fuel Rockets, which are rockets propelled by the explosion and combustion of several high-pressure cylinders filled with hydrogen and oxygen.
High-pressure oxygen tanks and hydrogen tanks are unstable things that explode at the touch of a button, and the industrial powers of this world use passivated copper ore powder as an energy source. Try to keep it as stable as possible when placed in shells and the like. So this kind of liquid rocket did not appear on the battlefield of the army. A casual bump in the transportation process of this thing may cause the cylinder port to break. If it is stored for a long time, the leakage of combustible gas or combustible gas will fill the room and an electric spark will cause an explosion. Needless to say, the leakage of hydrogen cylinders is also a terrible thing, and if the oxygen content in a closed environment is too high, the steel will burn like fireworks. Crackling and fried. This world is inherently high in oxygen. Therefore, in the army, Ren Di has only seen the use of fighters like the Air Destroyer. In the sky, there is no need to worry about the accumulation of combustible combustible gases to dangerous values, and there is no need to worry about the turbulence of driving on land.
For use on land, only a steam fortress with a strong energy source and a strong processing capacity to make barrel chariots can be made on the spot. Ren Di had seen this kind of rocket attack on the Plains of Dilsey, good fellow, the range exceeded a thousand meters, and the air wave set off after the explosion could wipe out a whole group of charging cavalry.
So one after another troublesome fire-breathing things were launched from the Steam Fortress and flew towards the siege airships in the sky. When these liquid-fueled rockets screamed into the sky like sky-scurrying monkeys, Ren Di was startled. But it didn't cause much trouble to the siege airship commanded by Ren Di.
This thing flew into the sky, and it was too ruthless. The people of this world have not yet stuffed gyroscopes into their liquid rockets. After the rocket flew 300 meters, it was drifting.
But a few rockets still found their target, and the screaming sound increased from far to near, increasing in decibel and tone. These rockets are no better than the saturation attacks of later missiles from all angles. The rocket almost rushed towards the gun of the airship. In the face of the scream of rockets, the muzzle began to speak, and a large bunch of grape shells erupted from the muzzle, gradually expanding to a coverage area of several tens of meters.
Due to the visible speed and fragile body, a single shotgun can easily intercept it at a distance of 200 meters. The peanut-sized shotgun easily pierced the cylinder of the rocket when it rushed on. Some cylinders burst straight into balloons, and then turned into brilliant fireballs. Some were punched out of several holes, spraying out a large amount of combustible gas, and as these gas streams were thrown behind by rockets, they were ignited by the spray holes, turning into multi-vent fire-breathing aerial moving torches, falling towards the cliff.
The Steam Fortress was now only a helpless resistance, and the thick heavy artillery shells were much harder than the liquid rockets. Such a large piece of metal is not at all intercepted by a shotgun, and directly shatters several layers of cement, rock, and steel floors, and after the current fall impulse is reduced, the delay lead is also burned. The heavy artillery shell, like a heavy hammer, was suddenly reduced to fragments in the face of the high-temperature gas that burst into flames inside. Layers of load-bearing structures are destroyed.
Ten siege airships, with fire on the steam fortress for ten minutes, turntable-like pods, the barrels protruding like rotating serrations, the disc pods rotated to the direction of the fortress, and kept firing.
The fortress, which was destroyed in thick smoke, collapsed under the pouring of such fire. Reduced to ruins.
This fortress is just a small microcosm of the battle of Fliglo, which was blown up in five days and so on, with two steam fortresses and a series of turrets defending the line of Fliglo. In the process. Six major air battles were fought between Fliglo's air force and the escort air force at Pilata.
The Platans, with their superiority in numbers and technology, annihilated Fliglo's air force in six air battles. At the moment of crisis, Ren Di even saw a penetrating aircraft, and the strafing machine gun bullets hit the deck of the airship he was on. Lianlana launched an aerial rocket, a row of rockets exploded in the air, loaded with burning # incendiary bombs and spread in the sky, a large amount of high-temperature burning powder like white mist lime, enveloping a large area of the air force, igniting the aircraft instantly. Turn into a turkey in the air.
Now Ren Di's task is to knock down buildings that are almost no threat to him. The airship continued to rise, and finally reached the capital city-state of Fliglo. This is the largest city Ren Di has seen since he arrived in the world of the continuation of the legend.
Two tall towers with armillary spheres stand in the heart of the city-state, and military districts with huge mortars defend the four areas. High in the sky, you can see the colorful goods in the commercial districts of the city-state. Huge gears in the industrial area, and the roar of heavy machining. It was a thriving city-state. No matter how Miana describes Clinton, he is dictatorial and brutal. But prosperity cannot be faked.
When his airship arrived, chaos arose in the city, and a strong sense of guilt came over him as the cavalry began to maintain order. He has come to destroy prosperity. After reminding himself again and again that he must be ruthless, Ren Di suddenly felt a little ironic, before the crossing, he had angrily threatened to destroy the city and destroy the country, when the real row of people was waiting in front of him to kill, how could he be so indecisive.
When you can't see the killing process of the specific killing process, maybe death is just a number. But the killing happened in front of him, and Ren Di didn't think he could look directly at the sea of corpses and blood. Suddenly, a sentence from a science fiction novel that I once read crossed my mind: "When a nuclear war is going on, the humans who hide in the bunker and kill will regret it only if they climb out of the bunker again." ”
Ren Di stared at the huge city-state carefully for ten minutes, and then gave the order to attack all the airships. The order to attack cannot be disobeyed, but the specific point of the muzzle can be controlled by itself.
One shell after another landed accurately, on the military district, the building of the military district collapsed, and it could not be more coincidental that one shell just drilled into the medium-caliber mortar. The mortar was blown straight through the bottom. Detonated the ammunition depot below. This military zone came to an end.
The flames of the burning were concentrated on the military ruins, and the commercial buildings connected to the military district also had the scars left by the explosion. While the people in this area were trembling and waiting for the next blow, they found that the airship in the sky began to turn and move towards the military zone where the other angle of the city-state was located.
The vibration of the siege shells caused dust to fall from the floors of the commercial district. A reminder that destruction is still taking place in the city. Lianlana piloted the aircraft to approach Ren Di's airship, and the eldest lady of Pyrata asked unceremoniously, "What's going on in the area where your muzzle remains?" What do you want? Could it be that he was afraid of hurting Cillain? ”
Faced with the questioning of this domineering superior, Ren Di was imposing and wanted to explain, but in the face of Lianlana's cold eyes, Ren Di unconsciously retreated. But suddenly, with a breath of breath in his heart, Ren Di forced his eyes to focus on the heroine and said, "Vliglo is finally occupied by Miana's army, hatred. Mijana has come to seek revenge on Hilary, not to harvest hatred. ”
Lianlana didn't seem to expect Ren Di to talk back, and was suddenly a little stunned, and before she could react, Ren Di blurted out: "In the same way, we fought in the Perata area, and we also fought for the axiom that Miyana needed, and we didn't kill indiscriminately in Perata, and I remember that when Pu Chuzuo was injured, your flying unit also appeared in Van Lhasa." ”
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Ren Di regretted it, it was obvious that he was talking but not brainy. Some things are on the dark side, and they can't be lifted out at all. Dig deep and slap your face. However, after this sentence was said, everything was irreparable, Lianlana, the heroine of the legendary world. His face turned pale suddenly, and then he looked at Ren Di with a blue face. There was a frightening coldness in his eyes.
Then turn around and leave and jump on your own flying machine. The brief conversation between Ren Di and Lianlana was at the observation post at the top of the siege airship, and due to the high wind in the sky, no one heard this brief conflict. Lianlana will not take the initiative to promote the content of this conversation, and Ren Di will not be stupid enough to say to others that he has refuted Lianlana.
Lianlana now attracts Kiacomo, the real leader of Miana. Once this passage is completely disseminated, the rift between Pyrata and Miyana will be exposed, and now under the common purpose of hitting the governor, the rift will be forced. But the relationship between Lianlana and Giacomo will inevitably be clouded with a layer of political darkness, and the weak Perata will not face the innocent Giacomo. And to force the contradiction, Miyana will definitely transfer the source of his own contradiction away from refrigeration. This is a consequence of injuries on both sides.
This little episode made Ren Di's face darken, and then Ren Di got up and walked down, and said to the messenger on the airship: "Request the rear to transport a batch of propaganda paper materials, I hope to destroy the military area of the city-state of Fliglo, and at the same time carry out the distribution of paper leaflets to other areas." ”
