Yi Xiaotian suddenly laughed. When he saw the craftsmen on the hillside in the distance gesturing to him, he turned around and said to the people who were waiting eagerly:
"Folks! The exercise is about to officially begin, but after this session, don't leave in a hurry, because before the end of today's exercise, we plan to select a few lucky onlookers to enter the chariot and experience driving the chariot for themselves.
a feeling of."
"You...what did you say?"
Sun Quan and Lu Su shouted in unison, but their high-pitched voices were quickly suppressed.
Because what followed was even more exaggerated when the people burst into cheers.
Yes, people are excited.
Who would have thought that one day they would be able to go up and experience the chariot?
Yi Xiaotian's words completely captured people's hearts and heated up the atmosphere in the venue in an instant.
But Sun Quan and Lu Su on one side were confused.
Sun Quan rushed directly in front of Yi Xiaotian. When Yi Xiaotian was about to give instructions to everyone on the mountain, he directly pressed Yi Xiaotian's shoulders and almost shouted at him:
"You...you're not joking, are you?"
"Chariot? Can ordinary people enter the chariot at will? No...that's right. Is it possible that ordinary people can operate this chariot without training?"
However, Yi Xiaotian only left Sun Quan with a meaningful smile.
"General Sun, don't be anxious. We have specially reserved two places for you and Zijing. You can just go and experience it for yourself when the time comes."
"And... it won't be long before these tanks will be handed over to General Zhu Huan and the others. If you don't experience them today, you won't have the chance in the future."
Yi Xiaotian shrugged and implicitly expressed that they did not intend to reveal the secret to Sun Quan.
This made Sun Quan feel a little bit angry.
But he was indeed moved by Yi Xiaotian's words - it can only be said that chariots are a man's romance no matter what era he is in...
Of course, there were other reasons why Sun Quan was so shocked.
In just a few words, Yi Xiaotian actually revealed a very scary key point - ordinary people can also drive such a behemoth...
This means that the operation of this extremely fast tank may not be complicated?
If ordinary people have not been trained, it will be quite difficult to ride a horse.
But if we can save a lot of time in training cavalry in the past, maybe as long as the manufacturing of chariots can keep up, this kind of weapon can be mass-produced in a short time?
Sun Quan didn't dare to think about it anymore. Everything was just a hypothesis. Now he needed to take a closer look at the actual combat capabilities of this chariot. Assuming that this chariot was just a showpiece, it would be meaningless even if it was simple to operate.
.
Therefore, Sun Quan and Lu Su held their breath at the same time.
Yi Xiaotian saw that everyone could no longer wait, so he finally issued the order.
At this time, everyone on the mountain...on the ground and near the chariot held their breath and concentrated, and everyone's eyes were burning with fire. It seemed that they were doing the most meaningful things at this moment.
——
The first to move were the chariot groups.
Everyone had only seen the chariot moving at full speed before, but they had never seen the chariot accelerate from zero.
At this time, the huge chariot had just started moving, and it seemed that it really answered Lu Su’s previous guess:
"Sure enough, although this thing is very fast at full speed, it still takes a certain amount of time to reach full speed from zero, right?"
Lu Su said this to Sun Quan, he was comparing it to the performance of traditional chariots.
In the past, chariots pulled by war horses had many fatal flaws. One of them was that they accelerated too slowly. Because the weight of the chariot was too great, the time required to accelerate from zero to the highest speed would have been long enough for a group of cavalry to rush forward.
Go up there and kill for a while.
Not only that, traditional tanks also face the problem of difficulty in turning - indeed, the tank built by Yi Xiaotian is just like this, right?
It's just that Sun Quan and Lu Su haven't thought of one thing yet, and that is why a tank like Yi Xiaotian was named a "multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle."
And soon, they realized how superficial their previous understanding was.
"No! So fast!"
"This! This is too fast!"
Even before Lu Su finished his analysis, he couldn't close his mouth.
Because in just a few breaths, the originally silent chariot started racing at a speed that had shocked all of them before.
There was a burst of exclamation among the crowd, and everyone was shocked by the exaggerated acceleration of this chariot.
But it's not over yet.
This link is to show the true combat power of the tank.
And they rushed straight towards the formation built by straw men and horses in the distance, and in just a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the formation.
"That is to simulate the situation where the enemy holds their position. The straw men are naturally the infantry, and the purpose of holding back the horses is to prevent the cavalry from advancing."
Yi Xiaotian stood up and explained in concise words to the people who didn't understand.
It's close - the position is within easy reach, the chariot roars and charges forward, just when everyone thinks the chariot is about to be captured by the hard and strong horse, boom -
A series of loud noises came, making everyone's eyes widen.
Wood chips flew all over the sky, and the chariot recklessly rushed past the horse, which was regarded as a formidable enemy by the cavalry, and directly hit the hard wooden pile to pieces.
After the smoke and dust cleared, the chariot continued to move forward unscathed. The only obstacle the Juma caused to them was probably to slow down their speed a little, right?
"What...what is this?"
Sun Quan almost cursed.
He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
That was a Juma - each Juma was basically made of strongman's tree trunks. Even heavy cavalry would end up with their bodies pierced through if they didn't dodge in time and hit them head-on at such a high speed.
But this...but this chariot actually rushed through like that, as if Juma was scratching their itch.
But what’s even more shocking is yet to come.
The straw man had no cover from the horse. Although there was a spear set up in front of him as a weapon, he seemed to be nothing more than an ant that could be easily crushed in front of this behemoth.
However, how could Yi Xiaotian only let the chariot exert such a little power?
"This chariot... is indeed extremely strong... but... you won't wait in vain for the chariot to come and crush you, right?"
Sun Quan was still being stubborn.
He had ignored the impact of the chariot on the formation, and wanted to show off his knowledge by seizing on the fact that the chariot had no means of attack.
But the next moment, he closed his mouth.
Because...when the chariot arrived in front of the straw man, some unimaginable changes suddenly occurred.
This unheard of and unseen scene made Sun Quan stunned and could not calm down for a long time.
