Of course, Li Er is talking about tanks, armored vehicles and so on.
Certainly not the kind on Earth.
But a very crude one.
Actually, like armored vehicles.
In fact, the core chassis here is a large mountain four-wheel off-road motorcycle.
Then it was wrapped in a big iron sheet.
Compared with the two-wheeled mountain motorcycle given to my third uncle.
This armored vehicle has four large wheels, and the tires are further widened and enlarged.
There are three shooting holes on the left and right sides inside, and four shooting holes on the top.
In other words, there can be ten combatants inside.
And for such a huge iron guy, he naturally has to swallow a lot of spiritual stones every time.
The two-wheeled off-road motorcycle is powered by one spiritual stone, while this armored vehicle requires seven spiritual stones weighing one kilogram to drive.
When fully loaded, the speed can reach almost 40km/h.
Of course, if you run with all your strength, you will have to change your spirit stones every two or three hours.
Anyway, this so-called armored vehicle is certainly incomparable to the one on Earth.
But here, it’s a dimensionality reduction strike.
Don't forget that there are ten people hiding in such a big iron lump, armed with blunderbuss or crossbows to shoot at you.
This is creation, and it also creates death for a large number of people!
And the so-called tanks.
The same goes for following an armored vehicle.
The core is also the chassis of a four-wheeled motorcycle, which is exactly the same as an armored vehicle.
But there was a Hongyi cannon mounted on it.
And this Hongyi cannon was improved by Lu Yuan.
The muzzle is larger and more powerful.
There are a total of four people in this tank.
One is the driver.
One is to aim and fire, plus control the up and down movement of the muzzle and left and right steering.
The other one is filled with elixirs.
There is also a front-end observer plus a musket shooter.
The Hongyi cannon is no longer loaded from the front, but from the back.
To be honest, this big thing is very big, like a small yurt.
This thing definitely won't work on earth.
Tanks on Earth are required to be flat and fast, and they are this or that.
You don't need to worry about that at all here.
Anyway, they are dimensionality reduction attacks.
This is actually not even a real tank, it doesn't even have tracks.
This is a large four-wheel motorcycle with a turret on it.
But this turret can be manually controlled by the person inside to make its muzzle turn and move.
Of course, compared with the chassis core of the armored vehicle, Lu Yuan made some adjustments to the chassis core of the tank.
The front two wheels are one size larger than the rear two wheels.
It's four-wheel drive.
And for such an oversized iron-clad bastard, eating spiritual stones is like drinking water.
After all, it not only had to hold four people, but also a cannon tube that had been improved by Lu Yuan but still weighed more than a thousand kilograms.
And the ammunition is also old and heavy.
In addition, the core chassis of this tank naturally needs to be thickened, at least twice as thick as that of the armored vehicle.
Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to afford such a heavy load.
Lu Yuan had never calculated how much all the tanks weighed together.
But Lu Yuan estimates...
It’s almost the same as Asan’s Arjun tank.
It just stands out as cumbersome.
This thing requires thirteen pieces of spiritual stone weighing one pound to drive.
There's also the self-propelled cannon.
Self-propelled artillery sounds good.
In fact, it's just a big motorcycle in the front, a hook added, and a Hongyi cannon pulled in the back.
The wheels and bearings of this Hongyi cannon are thickened and thickened tricycles.
This thing doesn't consume too much spiritual stone. Two pieces and a pound of spiritual stone are enough.
Anyway, these things sound quite bluffing.
But actually, it’s quite bluffing.
After all, this is not World War II, nor is this World War I.
Where is this?
This is ancient times!
This thing is a dimensionality reduction attack! !
As long as there are enough spirit stones, an armored vehicle can run rampant among thousands of soldiers of the Gilded Dynasty with no problem at all.
Lu Yuan looked at the rows of ships and boats in front of him and nodded.
Without any ink, he said directly:
"Inform the fleet and set sail."
Li Er nodded and shouted.
Later, Lu Yuan also said:
"Which ship is the assembler on?"
Li Erdang pointed to an official treasure ship and said:
"The assemblers, the craftsmen from the Imperial City Factory, and the servants arranged by the princess for the prince are all on that ship."
Lu Yuan nodded and said:
"I'll go to the ship where the tanks are installed and ask a group of tank assemblers to come over."
Li Er immediately smiled and said:
“It has been arranged, not only tanks, but also armored vehicles, tractors, self-propelled guns, and a group of assemblers on each ship.
Just wait for the prince to check it~"
Lu Yuan was startled, then looked at Li Er with a grin and said with a raised eyebrow:
"Okay, kid."
Li Er chuckled and said:
"I have been working for the prince for so many years. If you still can't guess what the prince is thinking, then your job is really in vain~"
Lu Yuan immediately nodded and said:
"Okay, but it's not enough to guess what the prince is thinking about.
If you can't assemble it by then, you boy, just wait until I come back to take care of you. "
Li Er, on the other hand, immediately stood at attention and said:
"Absolutely impossible, Prince, please just be at ease.
These are all made by the most skilled craftsmen in our factory, and I still look at them every day.
This thing has been assembled once in advance and then disassembled, so there will be absolutely no errors! "
Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded.
Then he said:
"Okay, you go back, the factory in Jiangnan is about to open, hurry up and teach my brothers.
If they are disobedient or looking for trouble, leave them alone and tell my mother to slap them.
There are five other factories that are now manufacturing these items quickly and sending them to Shandong Province in one shipment. "
Li Er nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, Your Majesty~"
…
At noon.
In the cabin, Lu Yuan took off his Chinese clothes and wore a sweatshirt and slippers on his feet.
Although the dog days of summer have passed, the weather is still hot now.
This is especially true in this cabin.
I don't know what this ship has carried before, but it smells bad.
Despite the extremely bad conditions.
But there is no way.
What we are doing now cannot see the light of day yet.
Now inside the cabin, a group of ten assemblers were sweating profusely as they quickly assembled the tank.
Lu Yuan said so when Li Er was asked to make this thing.
Made secretly!
After it's made, don't assemble it, just take it apart.
Lu Yuan was afraid that his grandfather would know.
With his grandfather's temper, if he knew there was such a good thing.
He must go immediately.
But, Lu Yuan didn't want to give this thing.
Except for myself, no one in this world knows how to use these things to maximize their power.
And, besides that.
Once this thing appears, it will be easily discovered by the craftsmen of the Gilded Dynasty.
You must know that these things of yours are not tanks or armored vehicles in the true sense.
It can be said to be full of flaws.
Let’s just talk about this tank.
They are either serious track wheels, just four big wheels.
If the Gilded Dynasty discovered this kind of thing in advance, they would definitely develop countermeasures.
It's like digging an extra trench.
Or just dig a big hole.
As long as you fall in, let alone fall in completely, don't even think about coming out again if you fall in half.
This is all something you can come up with just by thinking about it.
Never treat your enemy as a fool, this is a taboo.
Therefore, this thing must be hidden in the front and must be hidden.
At the critical moment of the confrontation between the two armies, attack suddenly! !
Kill with one hit! !
Unparalleled, take the lead among all armies!
If you think about it, it's because it's made of iron and driven by an engine.
Just want to push it straight?
That's impossible.
In particular, not many of these things can be made right now.
Let's put it this way, including what was built before, Lu Yuan will be given another three months.
There can be thirty tanks, fifty armored vehicles, and two hundred self-propelled guns. This is all very good.
But if you want to promote these things head-on, it’s impossible~
It's not possible at all~
These do not create generational differences.
At the very least, the soldiers in the armored vehicles still use firecrackers.
If you really want to create a generational difference, just push it straight.
We have to wait for the improved stamping machine to appear and be mass-produced.
Lu Yuan was able to get out the bullets and use the rifled gun, which was the bolt-action rifle during World War II.
Only then can we push forward and make substitutions.
Therefore, this thing must not be leaked at the moment.
Especially for these assemblers, Lu Yuan was restricting their freedom.
You can't hang out randomly, and you can't drink when you go out.
In the factory area, they all live alone, separated from ordinary craftsmen.
Confidentiality is extremely strict.
At this time, the huge tank had been assembled in the cabin.
The assembler inside was shaking the rotating arm crazily to show Lu Yuan the mobility of the turret's rotation and the upward and downward movement of the muzzle.
Lu Wenqing stood nearby.
It was originally meant to fan Lu Yuan.
Now, it has stopped.
He stared blankly at the steel giant in front of him.
My jaw almost dropped to the floor.
this……
What the hell is this...
…
Six days later, Lu Yuan arrived in Luxi by boat.
Lu Yuan was not idle during this period.
I was watching "God of War" at night, not only watching the movements of the soldiers and horses of the Gilded Dynasty.
He was also watching the movements of his grandfather's troops.
Now there is an undercurrent surging between the two sides.
From this, we can naturally see clues of the intentions of both parties.
You can guess where the two sides will meet.
What kind of situation did we meet.
After seeing this, Lu Yuan went to find a solution to the problem from the God of War.
There is actually nothing to worry about in this battle.
This is the eleventh year of Yongle, the prosperous age of Yongle!
At this time, the three major battalions can be said to be invincible in the world!
My grandfather will not lose this battle.
However, Lu Yuan's understanding of war does not end with whether he loses or not.
Lu Yuan wants to decide the outcome in one battle, and the first battle will be the decisive battle!
Directly destroy the Gilded Dynasty!
So Lu Yuan was watching God of War at night, and during the day he and Lu Wenqing were doing crazy simulations on the sand table.
First, as the commander behind Lu Wenqing, Lu Yuan naturally also needs to understand war.
The second and most important thing is to teach Lu Wenqing well.
Although Lu Wenqing is his own tactical executor, he must also have excellent command skills.
Otherwise, this battlefield will change rapidly.
There is no telephone or radio here, so Lu Wenqing often has to rely on his own improvisation.
but……
Don't tell me.
This kid is really talented on horseback!
And this guy doesn’t have zero foundation.
Lu Chongan was a scholar and had many books at home.
And these literati have a bit of a collecting habit.
The books in this house are not only the old-fashioned words of saints, but also military books.
This kid Lu Wenqing has seen many young and old.
Lu Yuan learned it immediately.
And now Lu Wenqing completely regards Lu Yuan as his mentor in his heart.
Before this, it was just a matter of Hangcheng.
Lu Wenqing also only thought that Lu Yuan was powerful, which was different from the rumors.
But now, the two have been simulating it on the sand table for six days.
Every time, Lu Wenqing was killed by Lu Yuan with his armor removed.
Lu Wenqing has always had a sense of superiority in this military matter.
Because of this, Lu Wenqing always felt that he was a genius.
I was born to fight.
But now when compared with Lu Yuan, Lu Wenqing realized that he was nothing.
Impressed.
He was completely impressed by Lu Yuan.
Before this Lu Wenqing listened to Lu Yuan's words for various purposes.
He wanted Lu Yuan to let him go out to lead troops to fight, but he was thinking of something else.
But now, there is nothing else. Lu Wenqing just admires Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan said that if you go east, you will never go west.
Lu Yuan said that if you catch a dog, you will never chase a chicken.
Now Lu Yuan's words are simply an imperial edict to Lu Wenqing.
…
"Your Majesty, you are here, and the King of Han has sent someone to pick you up."
In the early morning, when Lu Yuan was confused at the pavilion, Lu Wenqing ran up and said.
Unknowingly, Lu Wenqing has called you.
After Lu Yuan heard the noise, Lu Yuan got up and stretched.
Looking at Lingju aside, he said:
"Let's go, little Juju, I'll take you to meet my dad."
Lingju on the side has just brought a basin of warm water.
After hearing this voice, Miaoman's body couldn't help but tremble.
He turned to look at Lu Yuan and blinked.
Then he nodded seriously and said:
"Okay, my benefactor, take a shower first."
…
"Twenty thousand kilograms of spiritual stones? You have to do so much!"
Prince Lu's Mansion.
The King of Han looked at Lu Yuan, who had just come forward with his front foot, and followed him with his back foot, with a confused look on his face.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Of course something happened, needless to say.
What, dad, you can’t even get 20,000 kilograms of spiritual stones?
You, the King of Han, are not good at it either. "
When Lu Yuan said this, the King of Han became unhappy and glared:
"Hey, why can't I get it? I can't even ask dad.
I'll take care of this for you when dad gets back, and I'll give you a small green mountain when the time comes. "
Lu Yuan nodded immediately, and then said again:
"Dad, I want more troops, two thousand."
The King of Han did not ask, but said directly:
“Dad has already prepared it for you, it’s still the same three thousand people as last time.
From now on, these three thousand people will follow you in Luxi to protect your safety.
Dad has also agreed with your grandfather about this matter, and your grandfather also means the same thing. "
In this case, Lu Yuan was fine, picked up an apple next to him, took a bite and said:
"Then you should leave quickly."
King Han: "???"
"Hey, you're just trying to kill a donkey, aren't you?
After summoning your father, do you want to drive him away?
You haven't told dad yet, who is this girl? "
Lingju sat quietly on the side of the pavilion, holding a storybook in his hand, but he didn't read it.
There was no expression on his face, as if he was untroubled.
However, the fingertips of the book holding the jade hand were already turning a little white.
It seems that there are not any disturbances at all.
Lu Yuan looked at his father, blinked and said with a smile:
"you guess."
The King of Han laughed heartily, gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up and said:
"You are better than dad. Dad has only had twelve or three in total in the past seventeen or eight years. You have had three in the beginning."
After saying that, the King of Han stood up and said:
"Prince Lu's Mansion, dad will have it sorted out for you, just go and do it.
Dad is gone. It will take more than a year for Dad to come back this time. If Dad is not here, you will have to support the family.
Go back and see your mother when you have nothing to do. "
Lu Yuan nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, it won't be a year or two.
We will be able to come back by next summer at the latest and spring at the earliest.
…
Three months passed by in a hurry.
It was already the end of autumn in the Lieqian Dynasty.
The weather is getting colder and colder nowadays.
Many people have already put on cotton-padded clothes.
And far away in the desert.
It's completely like winter.
It has been snowing heavily a few days ago.
Lie Gan is in the military tent.
The atmosphere was a little dull.
Not that the battle was lost.
For more than two months, the imperial army pushed forward all the way.
But there wasn't even a decent fight.
When the Gilded Dynasty saw the army of the Liegan Dynasty, they basically just ran away.
There is no way to fight back.
However, it came to a standstill more than half a month ago.
The army could not advance again.
The reason is that this year is much colder than in previous years.
The snow fell too early, too early.
Although I know the weather in this grassland, it changes at will.
But this year, the snow came too early.
This time the logistics delivery relied on tricycles.
The tricycle was slipping and difficult to move in the snow.
The empire's army has advanced too fast in the past two months, and the logistics can no longer keep up with the speed.
Today's army is short of food and clothing.
And such a long supply line was all within the territory of the Gilded Dynasty.
That means sending a lot of troops to protect this supply line.
If someone suddenly cuts off the supply line.
Let alone fighting, going back will be a problem.
It would be nothing if there was just a logistical problem.
The most important thing is that the cannon cannot be mounted.
Heavy firearms cannot be loaded.
It was difficult to walk in the snow, and cannons and other firearms weighing several kilograms were all lying in the back.
There are some steeper slopes that cannot be pushed up no matter how hard you push.
And Liegan's battle relied on the three major battalions.
It relies on the artillery in front to explode one round first and suppress one round first.
If there were no artillery and the cavalry on both sides clashed, Liegan would really suffer.
So, there is no way to fight now.
There are two best solutions now.
One is to withdraw troops directly.
but……
Can it be withdrawn?
The 300,000-strong army went out to war in the summer. They had been here for more than two months and then went back after visiting for three months?
impossible.
Speaking of this battle, when it came out, I just wanted to fight it for a long time.
Therefore, you definitely cannot go back.
That's the second solution.
Stick to it.
Wait for the snow to stop, wait for the snow to melt, wait for logistics, wait for artillery.
As long as the logistics can keep up, as long as the artillery can be delivered.
Then everything is easy to say.
However, this second method is dangerous.
As I said just now, the empire has been pushing forward in the past two months, and its advance is too fast.
It was almost an entire army charge.
This logistical supply stretch is very long.
And here is the territory of the Gilded Dynasty.
They are more familiar with it than the Lieqian Dynasty.
If once logistics is cut off, then dumplings are made again.
That's one word.
Danger, danger, danger, danger, danger.
Now, I can only pray that God will bless me Liegan.
only……
Ruo Tianyou Liegan.
Did the heavy snow come too early?
…
In the military tent, Emperor Yongle's family gathered around a huge sand table and discussed.
At the same time, a high-pitched cry came from outside.
"Urgent report!!!!!!!!!"
Then, a messenger rushed into the tent and said:
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Longlan Mountain, the supply line has been cut off!
The 900 cavalrymen of the Gilded Dynasty plundered and killed 2,000 baggage troops.
Thirty thousand kilograms of grain and thirty thousand winter clothes and bedding were all burned. "
At this time, Emperor Yongle, King Han and King Zhao all took a breath of cold air.
But they didn’t wait for the reaction of the three of them.
There was another high-pitched cry outside.
"Urgent report!!!!!!!!!"
Another messenger rushed into the tent, knelt down and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Nanyu River, the supply line has been cut off!
The 600 cavalrymen of the Gilded Dynasty plundered and killed 1,000 of the baggage troops.
Twenty thousand kilograms of grain and ten thousand winter clothes and bedding were all burned. "
At this time, the three people in the big tent had only one thought in their minds when they heard the two urgent reports.
That is:
Lieqian Dynasty...
Danger, danger, danger, danger, danger.
(End of chapter)
