Douluo See You For a Long Time

Vol 2 Chapter 326: armored train

After passing through the first town, the Wilder family's cavalry gradually discovered that this territory was completely different from other places. After they came to this territory, they saw smooth roads and railways that extended to places they could not see in the distance. These things were absolutely invisible in other territories, especially the long railway. It is hard for them to imagine that good steel is actually used as a road material.

When they asked the lord of the town to provide a large amount of food and supplies in the city before, the lord of the town did not make any resistance, but when they wanted to dismantle the rails of the railway and bring them back to be cast into weapons, the lord of the town almost had to fight them desperately. .

"Are you out of your mind? Why do you want to tear down our rails? Do you know that when you tear down the rails, the railroad will be cut off from here? Do you know how much steel and materials will be lost in a day when the railroad is broken? ? We still need the railway to transport food, if it is cut off, do you know that all the people in the city will starve to death?"

Many members of the Wilder family were fooled by the city lord's fury. Immediately afterwards, the city lord also knew that he was alone and alone, and if he made the army panic, he would not end well. So he said in a slightly gentle tone: "If you really want steel, there is no problem, just tell me directly. I have cast steel here, and even if you want swords, you can directly provide them to me. You, armor or something, we can also construct it for you. Why are you dismantling our railway? Get your people back now. Our spare rails can be reinstalled. Otherwise, the train will not be able to arrive. The consequences are fundamental It’s not something a little guy like me can afford.”

Commander Wilde didn't want to agree at first, but he saw the cast steel ingots delivered by the city lord. Still gave up the plan to steal the rails. Compared with these well-cast, high-quality steel ingots and high-quality swords. It's really not worth it to get those rails.

This was originally a complex of coal and steel industries, and the most indispensable thing was steel. A lot of steel was sent, and the group of cavalry was finally sent away. Only then did the princess heave a sigh of relief, and spit on the ground.

"Hey, a group of beggars who have never seen the world! If I knew you were such a thing, I should have contacted the lord and told him to send a large army to destroy you. A little steel is so happy. I don't know, that is just our output in a week , When you get to a bustling place and see the world, don’t scare you bumpkins to kneel on the ground.”

Although the members of the Wilder family would not be scared to kneel on the ground, they were still extremely shocked when they walked along the road and saw the roaring train approaching in the distance. Some of the less courageous soldiers even fell to the ground. There were still many war horses that were out of control, and they fled in all directions when the train rushed over.

After all, it is impossible for such a huge beast as a train to exist in nature. Even in this magical world where giant dragons exist, there are almost no such exaggerated creatures in nature. Although these war horses have been trained, some of them have even been trained to charge amidst the sound of gunfire. But in the face of such a behemoth, it is still unbearable.

But this is the elite army of the Wilder family after all. Soon there will be knights who can endure this terrible roar. Chase back those who escaped. Some of them were whipped in the army as a typical example. Under such a warning, when they encountered a train on the road later, no one escaped. It's just that when watching those fully loaded carriages passing by at high speed, I still can't help but feel shocked.

Some of these carriages are filled with grain, and some are filled with minerals or steel.

Compared with the steel that was just obtained from that mining city, the amount of steel on these trains is too much. It is no wonder that the people in the mining city over there do not let them destroy the railway at all. It seems nothing compared to the bit of steel consumed by the rails that can be transported by the railway.

"Who is the lord of this territory who is able to manage his territory so richly?" The commander of the Wilder family couldn't figure out what was going on at this time. For this era, steel is almost a resource like hard currency. In the case that the vast majority of steel is produced in workshops, every piece of qualified 100-smelting steel is priceless here. If it can be made into a sword, the price will even be calculated in gold coins.

A sword can cost almost a family several years of gross product to buy. What we are talking about here is not savings, but gross production value, that is, not eating or drinking.

It is conceivable how expensive these things are. After Chengying improved the smelting technology, the efficiency of steel production has obviously been greatly improved. Iron and steel, which was originally extremely expensive, can only be regarded as an ordinary tool now, and every ordinary family can have at least one iron pot. Have iron farm tools, iron kitchen utensils, a set of knives and scissors, and if you have a little money, you can also have iron planters and other agricultural equipment.

As for the need for more metal products in industry, what is needed is not just steel, but all kinds of metals, even including this era. Aluminum is more precious than gold.

For this era, aluminum is almost impossible to smelt, and things are rare and expensive. Although it is not clear what role this material, which is not as strong as steel, can do. But the value of this thing is extremely precious, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless. If Wilder can see the plane in the territory up close. It was observed that the aircraft skins were all made of aluminum, and I was afraid that the army under him would directly **** the aircraft and peel off all the aluminum alloy skins on the outside.

That thing is precious enough to buy a small city, but the value of aluminum will definitely decline gradually with the passage of time and with the change of technology, and it will plummet, after all, even if it is not stored in the earth's crust There is also a lot of aluminum, which, unlike gold, is not really a rare element.

Originally, Wilder was considering whether to rob the trains here, but on the one hand, these trains let him see the powerful strength of the lord of this territory. On the other hand, the huge power contained in these running trains also made him a little afraid. In his opinion, the biggest possibility of such a huge moving monster is a magical creation, and it is difficult to say whether this magical creation has powerful attacks. At least he doesn't know how to stop these trains. His own knights galloped by, pushing the horse with all its strength can run faster than the train. But the most they can do is climb onto the train. Don't know how to make him stop. Perhaps piles of rocks on the train tracks could play a role. But whether it actually makes sense to do so is unclear.

Such a huge monster passing by at such a high speed, ordinary stones piled up on the track, might be knocked away by him at once. As for the effect of transporting the boulder to the past and colliding with the train? It could be a car crash, or it could be a train flying straight off the tracks. In that case, the flying train might kill all the people ambushing nearby.

It has also been considered that the train will actively brake if it encounters a boulder. But before they really figure out the principle of this thing, they still don't plan to rob this kind of thing. If they encounter a boulder, this thing is not a parking lot, but a super change, and the shape changes into a giant train.

The consequences would be unimaginable. If your size becomes a giant, it is definitely enough to smash them all into meatloaf with one punch.

As the army continued to advance, they gradually became cautious, and as they approached the core territory, orderly fields began to appear.

It is different from the small and small pieces of farmland in other places. The farmlands here are connected and the area is vast. The fields planted by each household are of exactly the same specifications. Large tracts of fields are connected together. The neat roads connect these fields. The crops on the fields are also growing neatly. Looking at it, you can't see the end at all. It's hard to imagine how so many fields are cultivated so flat, and how are they planted and harvested?

But the food on this vast field alone means endless wealth for people in this era. If they can plant such a wide field and harvest so much food every year, just imagine Grain storage in the granary. You will understand how rich this place is.

Chengying had gradually realized the strength of the territory until the group of cavalry approached this distance. When they saw steel and trains before, they might be able to attribute these things to magic. It is believed that there may be a great magician or a powerful alchemist in the territory.

Although the strong ones are strong, they still have to shy away from the organized and disciplined 50,000 cavalry. After all, there are still digital third-order existences among the cavalry, leading the cavalry to initiate an attack, even the legendary mage will fall in the face of it.

But after seeing the vast farmland, people of this era can clearly understand how powerful the productivity is on this land and how many soldiers it can support.

If it is really militaristic, it is possible to pull 100,000 soldiers from this city alone.

And with their steel output, these soldiers can be armed to the teeth. This means that although there is only one city in this territory. The fighting power that can be displayed will definitely not be inferior to that of the Wilder family. Then even if you really want to borrow the way from here, I'm afraid you have to change your strategy.

The commander of the Wilder family didn't realize it when he thought about it. The lord here didn't think about talking to them at all, but was going to make dumplings for them.

After they went deep into the territory, on several railways built around the territory, the armored train under maintenance roared and started. The train carried a heavy cannon, and there were many shooting holes on the train. , allowing the soldiers inside to aim along these places, and where the railways extend in all directions, these armored trains can shuttle freely. Cover a large area within its attack range.

The prey had already entered the trap, so it was time for the hunter to make a move. The Wilder family's army didn't realize how dangerous their situation was. Until they heard the roar of steam engines from all sides.

One after another trains are coming fast with white smoke, and these armored trains and those carrying goods obviously have a huge difference in painting style, although they don't know each other. But just looking at a cannon protruding from the train and the solid hull of the train itself recognizes that these are real weapons of war.

"Be alert and prepare to attack!" The commander of the Wilder family was quite decisive. At this time, he didn't think about things like negotiation, and the other party had already come to his door, so he definitely didn't come here with any peaceful thoughts.

The heavy cavalry lined up in charge formation. The hussars also galloped out, ready to attack from the flank and harass the enemy. Soon, however, they find themselves facing a huge problem. UU Reading www. uukanshu. com, that is, the enemy did not appear on the frontal battlefield at all, only armored trains appeared. Of course, it is not true that there were no infantry, but these infantry were ambushed in the trenches near the railway, and it was difficult to observe from the ground to theirs.

The meaning of their existence is to guard the railway. Ensure that the railway will not be actively destroyed during the battle. The armored train is to provide them with fire cover. Protect the enemy's attack from falling on them.

The light cavalry rushed to the armored train, fired the short bow in the direction of the armored train, and the precise bow and arrow hit the armored train. However, it didn't have any effect at all. The train under the protection of steel armor passed by, and those archers were not good enough to tickle him.

Someone wants to jam the gap between the rail and the wheel by bow and arrow. However, he just saw the bow and arrow he shot being easily crushed by the wheels, and it didn't cause any impact at all.

Just as they were considering whether to charge up and chop the rails with their own swords, one black muzzle after another protruded from the armored train. Then bursts of white smoke shot out.

There is no way to see the trajectory of the bullet, and most people don't even know that they are being attacked by something. He screamed and fell from his horse.

The captain of the light cavalry immediately led his troops away. During the evacuation, a large number of them fell to the ground in a crackling design. The inexplicable death was like a curse, which made people extremely frightened. The heavy cavalry tried to approach, The bullets hit their bodies, some of them were bounced off by the armor, and the other part killed the horses.

Many heavy cavalry fell to the ground and broke their necks, and against them there were still larger caliber weapons waiting.
