Chapter 930: The Flame Ox Chariot Appears
Chapter 930: The Flame Ox Chariot Appears
Woo woo, the sound of the horn sounded on the empty plain, and the sound pierced the sky, spreading hundreds of miles away.
Knock knock, the earth-shattering drums are strong, like thunder, deafening, the acres of fields that have been abandoned for months have long been overgrown with weeds, the undredged canals have dried up and cracked, it seems that this year's autumn tigers are more powerful than in previous years.
This should be a paddy field, and at this time, it should be an autumn yellow, welcoming the harvest in the golden autumn season, but now it has become a wilderness of chariots galloping, a battlefield of fighting.
The sound of the earth trembling from a distance not only makes people look sideways, but they see that in the sky, a flame is like a wildfire rolling on the grassland, burning and rolling up a cloud of dust and smoke.
If you zoom in closely, you will see that the flame dragon is a row of rumbling chariots, burning chariots, three columns in front and behind, numbering no less than a thousand, and rushing into the battlefield under the traction of a stout flaming ox.
The Flame Ox, with a fiery red body, a pair of meniscus horns on its head, and an exceptionally strong front body, bulging muscles like a hill, charging up, full of wild domineering, and behind the Flame Ox, he pulled a two-wheeled flame chariot.
The main frame of this chariot is stamped with a hundred calcined red steel, surrounded by solid wood, fire cowhide, the most important wheel axle is added to rare materials such as pure gold, and engraved on it with a solid rune array, frost rune array, so that when the wheel axle rotates, it is the inner and outer two layers of smooth ice in contact, greatly reducing friction and speeding up the rotation.
Then there are the two wheels on the left and right, because there is no rubber, and there is no process to make thin rings, so the wood reinforcement is used, and a layer of fine iron is bulging outside the wheels, but this layer of fine iron is engraved with a wind rune array.
The inner ring bracket forms a flame rune array, and it can be said that this chariot can also be regarded as a spirit soldier, although it is still very rough, but when this chariot runs, it is fully functional.
In particular, several rune arrays used on the chariot have been retained after countless tests, the solid runes are used for reinforcement and shaping, and the frost runes can condense ice crystals, and after the two are combined, this perpetual motion axis is formed, as long as it is not structurally damaged, this axis can theoretically not be worn out, because it can repair itself.
The second is the wheel, blessed with the outer wheel of the wind gust, will let the wheel have a layer of wind film, but also make the chariot more agile, and when running, the wheel and the ground are not in direct contact, but there is a layer of wind wall in the middle, just like modern rubber, the wheel and the ground are separated, which greatly enhances the chariot's ability to adapt to the terrain.
The flaming rune arrays on both sides of the wheels can make the wheels ignite while running, and they are more worthy of the name Flame Chariot.
This chariot soldier is the elite Flame Ox Chariot Battalion under Tian Dan, this soldier and horse is also quite famous in Chuzhou, but the frequency of use is not high, after that, most of the time, this chariot battalion is in preparation.
And this is the first appearance of Tiandan's tank battalion after three years, compared with the beginning, the tank battalion has been expanded twice, the number has reached 1,000, and all the tanks have used the newly developed flame tank, and the soldiers have been trained for three years.
This flaming chariot is equipped with three combatants, two main battles, one person driving, there are thirty throwing spears on the chariot, and two long and three feet long Changge two handles, which are in long-distance and close combat, and the other three also have war knives and arm shields.
The chariots ran at a distance of several meters, and the three hundred chariots at the front of them opened a line, four or five miles wide, like a fire dragon flying out, and the weeds fell one after another, emitting green smoke.
A mile behind the chariot battalion, there were 4,000 cavalry, and in the rear, there were several large phalanx of infantry, red armor like fire, advancing forward in small steps, and the army formation was not messy at all.
On the other side of them were a mob of more than 100,000 people, all of whom had fled their homes because of the plague, because the threat of the plague, coupled with the inaction of the local government, had left these people desperate, and finally under the leadership of some people, these desperate people were instigated, and began to storm the towns and plunder the food.
In the beginning, many people killed people just to survive, so they snatched food, but as the number of times increased, these people began to kill people for pleasure, raped women, did all kinds of evil, and everywhere they passed, they mourned everywhere, and the towns were reduced to ruins, and it can be said that they were a group of people who were more terrible than locusts.
These 100,000 mobs are not very large, like some large mob groups, and even reach millions, and most of the mobs are young and strong, because the old, weak, sick and children die not under the plague, but in this cruel reality, except for the young and strong, there are only those young women who plunder in it.
These mobs are not very well equipped, and only the most core group of people are equipped with weapons, which are snatched from the officers and soldiers, and the local armory, and most of the rest only have sticks, hoes, etc. in their hands.
100,000 mobs, for a complete division, although the number is several times worse, but the combat strength of both sides is clear at a glance, and the outcome must be the victory of the regular soldiers and horses, but this process is not as hearty as imagined.
Tian Dan's battalion attacked in thousands of chariots, which can be described as a thunderbolt of fire, with amazing power, the war drums in the rear sounded, the horns soared to the sky, and the momentum of the fire ox chariot battalion running up, but it directly covered the momentum of the overwhelming mob in front of him.
But this group of mobs was not scared away, but suddenly broke out with a desperate roar, 100,000 mobs roared and shouted, actually holding a hoe, and the stick rushed out, which was a bit unexpected by Tian Dan, he thought that this group of mobs was just the people, and as soon as his main force came out, he didn't turn around and run.
"Hmph, it's better not to run, just take you to try the benefits of my chariot battalion!" Tian Dan sneered, raised the giant Changge in his hand, standing on the chariot and fighting is not the same as a face-to-face fight, everything is done at high speed, and it is almost impossible to pounce on the chariot at close range, so the weapon used in the attack is not long and cannot play a role at all.
The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and soon, the fire dragon collided with the overwhelming heat on the opposite side.
Tian Dan's body is chained to the chariot, so there is no need to worry about being thrown out, other chariots are three people and one ride, but Tian Dan's chariot is only him, and the Changge in his hand is not two zhang and three feet, but has reached three zhang three, which is ten meters.
In front of the entire Changge, it was like a row of sharp teeth, covered with blades, like shark teeth, and the Flame Bull King in front of him was buried in his head, and the body weighing more than ten tons was almost unstoppable, and the dense crowd could not make it pause at all.
"Die!" Tian Dan held the handle of Changge with both hands, and swept across, in the crowd, he suddenly cut wheat, and poured a large piece, some of them flew up with neat heads, which was quite good, and some of them directly cut their heads in half, which was called a horror.
Only one sweep, at least more than 30 people fell, and this blow, the requirements for arm strength have reached a terrifying level, Tian Dan is not known for his strength, but in the past few years, through the effect of the Tempering Body Pill, coupled with the strength of his deliberate exercise of his arms, Tian Dan's arms are like a blazing ox, strong and not like words.
Tian Dan was in the crowd, wielding Changge unscrupulously, just like waving on the training ground every day, again, and again, and every time he swept, a large number of mobs fell.
Compared with Tian Dan's toughness, the charioteers under his command are a little inferior, but although they are not as perverted as Tian Dan, they can't stand the number of them, and the two zhang long Ge swept out, although the range is a lot smaller, but the power is also quite terrifying.
The train collided, Changge swept, and on the wheels, there were protruding long thorns, as the wheels rotated, this long thorn was also a big killer, but anyone who was next to the chariot was directly swept by this long thorn, and his legs were directly cut off.
The first layer of chariots has been swept across, the second row of chariots has passed, the mob has been sparsely pulled, and when the third layer of chariots has swept over, there are almost no living people within the attack range, there are countless corpses on the ground, broken arms and stumps are everywhere, and blood directly stains the earth.
Looking down from the sky, you can see the ground, like an electric clipper sweeping over a human head, countless hairs falling down, revealing a scalp, which looks unusually conspicuous, and this is not the end, the cavalry immediately behind the flaming chariot almost followed into the mob.
I have to say that this group of mobs is very tough, even in this way, they did not break up, but went crazy, and actually intended to surround the flaming chariot battalion that fell into the crowd, as well as the cavalry that followed them.
After all, these mobs have an advantage in numbers, and the number of people is overwhelming, which is 100,000, but it is like a sea, there is no end in sight, from the outside, it looks like the chariot battalion and cavalry killed in the mob, and then the mob from all sides directly cut off the back road, and the regiments are surrounded.
The infantry formation that was a little dragged behind was still two miles away, and I thought that this group of mobs would collapse with a single charge, but I didn't expect it to be defeated, but it was red-eyed, which made the generals who commanded the infantry phalanx suddenly shocked.
If this capsizes in the gutter here, it will be a big joke, and at the moment, the deputy division commander gave the order, the whole division charged, and the main force of 20,000 infantry, with the shield soldiers first, directly hit the mob crowd, and in the Great Chu Army, most of the people who can be shield soldiers are samurai.
Because the physical fitness of the samurai is several times stronger than that of ordinary warriors, they can wear heavy armor, hold heavy shields, and can also fight.
In this collision, the mob was skinned again, and then countless people collided into a ball, entangled and strangled.
