Chapter 17: Counterattack

Zhang Huaisheng, who was immersed in the illusory world, didn't notice that his body at the moment was showing an incomparably terrifying alienation.

Long dark red streaks of flesh were burrowing through his cheeks and sprouting rapidly.

They stick to each other, and new tiny tentacles sprout through the gaps, fitting like zippers.

The movement of flesh growth is simply numb.

But Zhang Huaisheng didn't react, just stared straight at the flesh and blood in front of him, which was rapidly condensing together.

Soon, the flesh growths outlined a human face.

First, the jaw with blue stubble remains.

And then there are thin lips, straight nose bridge...

That face is clearly the same as Zhang Huaisheng.

He stared at Zhang Huaisheng, his eyes condensed with sadness, sadness, and sorrow... and other negative emotions.

Like a melancholy poet.

He said: "I should have known that Teresa did not leave me on purpose, in this world, there is still someone I am obsessed with, and I want to meet him, so, can you lend me your body for the time being?" ”

Zhang Huaisheng, who was originally staring directly at the face in front of him, suddenly became indifferent in his eyes.

He succinctly spat out two cold Chinese characters: "No." ”

"Ugh."

The other human face, with a little regret, quickly collapsed, turned into fluorescent spots, and dissipated into the air.

But Zhang Huaisheng's face did not show any lightness.

Because he knew very well that this face had not disappeared, and it was also clear that the dead original owner had not come back to life to compete with him for the initiative in the body.

Rather, his personality is split.

The fragments of memory left over from the original owner in his mind reconstituted a personality that, once he examined it carefully, would revive it.

And this is how the twins play!

Zhang Huaisheng stood up, the spirituality tumbling in his body was stronger than before, but the hidden dangers it brought made him worried.

Fortunately, he already knew what Sequence 8 of the twin pathways was.

Its name is - Dictatorship.

And the promotion ceremony is to smash or fuse one's second personality and completely dominate one's body.

It's not easy, because the process of playing a twin will make the second personality stronger and stronger.

By the time he reached the level of promotion, the second personality was already strong enough to compete with him.

At that point, he will not be able to easily dismiss the opinion of the second personality.

"Fortunately, the second personality is not a villain, just a melancholy youth."

"I'm sleepy."

The improvement of his spirituality did not make up for Zhang Huaisheng's energy consumption, and a sense of sleepiness struck, so he locked the door and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Evening.

Zhang Huaisheng was awakened by a burst of intense artillery fire.

Outside the window, panicked Gaelic rebels, covered in gunsmoke, swarmed into apartments and universities on both sides of Birmingham Boulevard.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Killian's big voice sounded: "Zhang, quickly retreat with me to the city hall, the leader has a few words to ask you." ”

Zhang Huaisheng opened the door with a look of disbelief: "Did the British enter Edinburgh so quickly?" I only slept one afternoon. ”

Edinburgh is located in the heart of Scotland, so the flames of war shouldn't have been ignited so quickly, right?

Could it be that the Gaelic rebel army has collapsed on all fronts? Isn't it said that the army of the British Empire was only second-rate? Why are the Gaelic people so brave?

Zhang Huaisheng's heart was full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

Because the Gaelic group had apparently "requisitioned" the apartment he was in, that is, if he didn't want to be beaten up with the Gaelic man, he would have to move.

Killian's face was also ugly, and he said very quickly: "No one expected them to move so quickly, and it stands to reason that it is not uncommon for that group of politicians in the British Parliament to quarrel for a month and then send troops." Goldfish, now, I am completely convinced that the British have premeditated.

"You better call me Zhang."

Zhang Huaisheng couldn't complain about Killian's pronunciation, and when he came to his senses, he quickly realized what was wrong: "They should have landed from the sea, right?" ”

Compared to the British Army, the Royal Navy's combat effectiveness is absolutely second to none, even in order to maintain a vast colony, a considerable part of the fleet is not deployed on the mainland.

"That's right, they covered it with naval guns, and the army landed from the northern part of the Forth Bay, carrying a large number of artillery, repeating rifles, and even steam tanks."

"Steam chariots? What's that? ”

Killian's body smelled of gunsmoke, apparently having just been withdrawn from the front line: "A huge, iron-clad armored fighting vehicle capable of carrying a lot of artillery. In addition, there were some chariots that were thinner in armor and not equipped with artillery, but were much larger, filled with British soldiers. ”

At this point, Killian's expression darkened: "Our infantry artillery can't penetrate the armor of those tanks at all, but the British hiding inside can use that damn repeating rifle to take the lives of our comrades." ”

The repeating rifle should be a machine gun, in fact, it has appeared for a long time, but it has not been installed on a large scale for various reasons, and it is normal for the Gaels to have not seen it.

But after listening to Killian's description, Zhang Huaisheng couldn't help but have a feeling of horror in the British Army.

There are tanks, there are armored vehicles, good guys, isn't this the legendary infantry and tan coordination!

In the current European battlefield, the line tactic, that is, "lining up to shoot", has just been eliminated due to the large-scale equipment of breech guns, and has turned into squatting and pit warfare (trench warfare).

In the Second Boer War, the famous lobster soldiers suffered heavy casualties from guerrilla tactics, so they changed their line tactics on a large scale.

Unexpectedly, these old stubborn and quietly came up with such an epoch-making tactic as Butan coordination.

It's incredible.

However, according to Killian's description, this steam tank is clearly too large, and it is more of a mobile fortress than a combat vehicle.

Zhang Huaisheng wondered, how did they start in bad road conditions?

I am afraid that there is a supernatural force here, and the most direct suspicion is the Church of Steam, which is the base camp for a series of steam technological innovations.

But even with the participation of mechanics from the Steam Sect in the design, Zhang Huaisheng felt that this so-called steam tank still could not be like World War II in parallel time and space, with mechanized infantry to fight a blitzkrieg.

In fact, in this age of steam, where there are not even automobiles, it is a question of whether the future war situation will evolve as it did in previous lives.

And there were no airplanes in this era, only airships that flew slowly, but their carrying capacity was much better than that of airplanes, and their protection was quite good.

The whole world is pursuing stupid and coarse steam machines, and with the blessing of extraordinary powers, these seemingly bulky steam machines can often explode with astonishing destructive power.

Therefore, the war in this world is destined to be more bloody and cruel than the war in parallel time and space.

"Don't be stunned, grab your personal belongings quickly, we must hurry to the town hall, or the British shells will come later."

Zhang Huaisheng hesitated: "Wait a minute, I have to bring my bag of potatoes." ”

"When did you still think about the broken potatoes?"

Zhang Huaisheng's face was full of reluctance: "At least let me hide them first." ”
