The weapons designed by Lanno are certainly not the most advanced. With these machine tools, more advanced weapons can be produced, but these can be manufactured in large quantities in the shortest time, using a large number of already produced weapons on the spacecraft.
common parts.
The combat method is also very similar to the chariots of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In this era of lack of cavalry, chariots are battlefield weapons that are countless times more terrifying than heavy cavalry. In addition, they can shoot faster than ordinary archers.
The number of crossbowmen has increased several times, and the range is much longer. The advantage is already huge.
In order to ensure that these soldiers had enough courage to face the enemy's bows and arrows, Lan Nuo also put a lot of thought into deciphering the operating technology of CNC machine tools, allowing these CNC machine tools to automatically produce parts, and produced a considerable amount in a short period of time.
of chainmail.
These armors, which are like iron chains on the body, can block most arrow attacks when draped over a cotton coat. In cold weapon combat, they are almost equivalent to an invincible layer of defense.
Although he only had more than 400 civilians on hand, who could barely be regarded as soldiers, Lan Nuo was quite confident about the coming raid. If the entire ecological drum was expanded into a rectangular parallelepiped, the longest side would only be a hundred miles away.
The distance that needs to be crossed from the border to the capital of a country is only about 20 miles. With such a small distance, Lan Nuo does not even need to consider logistical issues. All soldiers bring their own dry food and can fight all the way to the Tower Kingdom.
The entrance to the royal city.
In fact, there was no need for Lanno to take the initiative, and the soldiers of the Tower Kingdom had already come to the bottom of the castle to provoke. A few days ago, the soldiers led by Baron Freeman had already caused the soldiers of the Tower Kingdom to flee because of a strange assassin who fled without fighting.
Soldiers blocked the gate of the castle. Every day, soldiers from the Tower Kingdom called for formation at the gate of the castle.
I was swearing at the soldiers at the gate of the castle. I was in a cart made of tattered iron sheets, holding something like a loudspeaker, and outputting obscene words at the castle. The original text could not be read at all. It contained more than 30% of the content. It was obvious.
Even aliens have similar habits to Earthlings when it comes to swearing.
A few arrows fired from time to time in the castle hit the baffle of the iron cart, which at most made the people outside scolding stop for a moment. When no one fired arrows, the person would raise his horn and continue to curse. This kind of look
This may seem like a funny operation, but it actually happened from time to time in ancient times on earth. Often, the generals defending the city could not keep their composure and would send troops to attack, which would lead to the attackers gaining an advantage and causing heavy losses in field battles.
The soldiers who called for formation today were still the same as every day. They held up their own loudspeakers and swaggered to the front of the formation, ready to shout for a while.
Unexpectedly, the city gate actually opened this time. The soldiers who saw this scene turned around and ran away. At the same time, the generals of the High Tower Kingdom who were camped at the rear suddenly stood up. They waved their weapons in their hands and shouted loudly: "The enemy has opened the city gate. Everyone."
The army goes out to attack! Capture the enemy and get a big reward!"
For a moment, the soldiers marched in formation to the beat of drums. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. This is when morale can be used.
However, the city gate was wide open, and the two modified tricycles driving side by side from the city gate shocked the soldiers who were originally marching in order.
Although the structure is a tricycle, a protective steel plate is installed in the front of the car. It is protected by baffles. You only need to bend slightly to avoid long-range bow and arrow attacks. When you are close, these baffles
It is also like a shield, making it impossible for infantry to attack.
As the two tricycles drove out of the city gate, more of these metal monsters rushed out from behind. They quickly lined up in a row at the city gate. At the same time, there were a large number of infantry and archers inside the city gate.
The soldiers poured out and were quickly forming a team. Following the order, the soldiers driving the tricycle completed the training on the springs. They suppressed their blushes and pedaled fiercely. The soldier in charge of the pedals worked hard for his whole life.
The energy of feeding pushed the heavy tricycles forward. If they relied solely on human power, the maximum speed of the tricycles would be limited, and they would not be able to meet the task of charging into the formation.
But as the driver stepped on the accelerator under the unified command, the large clockwork on the car began to run, and the mechanical energy stored inside was released, and the original human-powered tricycle suddenly exploded even more powerfully than the electric tricycle.
speed.
Only when they got closer did the soldiers see clearly that the front of the tricycle was not just a shield, but also had spikes on it. You can imagine what would happen if you hit it.
A chariot with a speed of nearly 40km/h is terrifying enough for these ordinary soldiers. There are no large livestock in this world. Such a ferocious chariot speeding up finally caused the morale to completely collapse. The soldiers in the front row
The soldiers wailed and threw away their weapons, turned around and ran away. Even the supervising team lost their courage. They fled towards the bushes on both sides. They shouted that the devil was coming. They were obviously very frightened by this thing.
.
They couldn't see clearly whether there was a person or a ghost behind the fender. Some people even thought that this thing was not a car, but could run on its own, and even regarded it as a monster.
Even the commander of the High Tower Kingdom was sweating coldly, and ordered the archers to shoot one after another. However, how could the bow and arrow hit these iron baffles and cause damage? Instead, the crossbowman who showed his head from time to time would secretly shoot an arrow.
.Let the archer fall down screaming.
What's even more frightening is that even if the bow and arrow does hit, the people with exposed heads are often unscathed, or if they have helmets, their chain-like armor can withstand these attacks even if it hits them.
Lan Nuo did not even go to the battlefield in person, and the infantry and archers in the rear were not used. The first field battle out of the city was a complete victory. The infantry's task was to capture prisoners, and the commander of the Tower Kingdom also
He happily chose to surrender. After all, in the wars of this era, the surrendering nobles could redeem themselves as long as they paid enough ransom.
It's just that the commander of the High Tower Kingdom never expected that after the opponent won this battle, he didn't intend to give up as soon as it was good. Instead, he led his troops along the avenue. Looking at that direction, he actually planned to drive straight in, directly.
Enter the royal capital.
Lan Nuo was not prepared to prolong the war for more than three days at all. The distance was less than thirty miles. Even if the marching speed in the feudal era was slow, it took three days to reach the destination. And here.
Before, apparently no one thought that a border lord would escalate the war to this point.
