The woodland hidden in the mirage camp is quite close to Kinoji. Queluo, who came to the edge of the woodland, quickly took in the outline of the cottage. At this time, the sky had just broken, and the embers of the dark night were still struggling in the glow of the morning light. Normally, Kino
Most of the time, I was still embracing dreamland, but this time the situation seemed to be different.
"Huh? That's it?"
Que Luo faintly caught a glimpse of people surging below the village, and the colony seemed unsettled.
In order to see more clearly, Queluo quickly climbed up the hill in front of the forest. Looking down from the top of the hill, he could see the situation on the other side of the village more clearly. However, Queluo couldn't believe his own for a moment.
Eye.
I saw six or seven caged cars parked in a row under the mountain village. Half of the caged cars were loaded with supplies, and the other half seemed to be freed up for settlers to ride on. There were at least two hundred settlers gathered next to the caged cars.
, the scene of people supporting the old and the young, lining up in a queue under the seemingly centralized conductor.
Not far from the cage car, there were seven or eight beasts of burden gathered, pulled by their respective drivers.
"There are actually beasts of burden that can move!?"
Qiaoluo was shocked. She knew the number of beasts in Kinoji's pack, and she didn't miss any of them when they were poisoning them. Although the troublesome master rescued a few of them with righteous water at all costs, they were probably too weak to move.
That's right, why did it suddenly return to normal?
Que Luo nervously observed the pack animals.
She saw that although the pack animals were barely moving under the drag of their handlers, they were clutching their tails and lowering their heads. They looked quite depressed, which made her feel relieved. It seemed that the recovery of the pack animals was better than
It was better than she imagined, but it was far from being able to tow a cage truck.
"No, in this case..."
Who dragged the cage truck down?
Questions suddenly popped up in Queluo's mind, and at this moment there was another noise from the village. Queluo looked in shock, and then he saw a rather unfamiliar and strange car slowly driving down the mountain road.
"Is that an armored car?"
Different from ordinary caged cars, the armored car has a square and mighty outline. The armored steel bones that make up the body of the car are shining brightly in the morning sun. It is impossible to mistake it even from a distance.
When the armored chariot carrying the officials of the territorial government arrived at Kinoji, Queluo also hid in the dark and observed carefully. However, it is well known that the quality of the buildings in Liyang Territory is several streets worse than that of other states in the Central Plains, and it is also the same among the twelve princes.
Ranked at the bottom. So I was curious, so I really didn't pay attention to this weird armored vehicle.
However, at this time, watching the armored car dragging the cage car out of the cottage and then stopping steadily in front of the crowd, Queluo backed away as if he had been punched. The self-driving car drove into the cottage.
Could it be that the armored car that had never been touched was the real trump card of the government? Because it was placed in a conspicuous place, it was subconsciously ignored?
An unreasonable fear suddenly enveloped Queluo, and an indescribable bad premonition emerged in his heart.
At this time, as if to prove her bad premonition, the settlers over there began to move.
I saw a large group of craftsmen flocking to the parked armored cart. Some were carrying wooden frames and some were holding rope axes. Under the orders of the chief craftsman, they were busy surrounding the armored cart and the seven or eight caged carts. At first, Queluo couldn't do anything.
I didn’t understand what they wanted to do, but the craftsmen moved very quickly. When they dispersed not long after, they saw that the cage trucks that were originally parked randomly were connected by the tic-tac-toe wooden grid.
The tic-tac-toe wooden lattice connects the cage carts front and back, and finally connects them to the armored cart body, thus forming a strange structure like a centipede. The armored cart is the centipede’s head, and the cage carts constitute the centipede’s body. Because of the Huang Zhu
There is no creation similar to a "train" in the country, so even if he saw the big centipede-like appearance, Queluo couldn't understand what it wanted to do.
I'm afraid not only her, but most of the settlers present are also confused, right?
But the answer soon appeared in front of me.
The armored chariot headed by the Centipede Chariot Array started to move first.
Behind the armored car, a cage car connected to it with a strong wooden frame was dragged forward a little later. Behind this cage car, a second cage car connected with the same mechanism also followed suit.
Moving forward. In this sequence, the eight caged cars behind the armored car were dragged forward together, accompanied by a rumbling sound, forming a jaw-dropping scene in the wilderness.
"What kind of monster is that!?"
After regaining consciousness, Queluo immediately fell to his knees with weak legs.
You must know that a cage car is a vehicle tailor-made for pack animals. Because pack animals are much larger, heavier, and have a longer life span than cattle and horses on the earth's side, the tailor-made cage cars must also be larger in size.
Passing an ordinary carriage. A beast of burden dragging a caged cart is common knowledge in the Yellow Kingdom. Unless it is some special events, there will occasionally be cases where a beast of burden drags multiple caged carts to show off the animal's strength.
situation.
But that's only a very short distance, and at most there are only two or three light-duty cage trucks.
The sight of eight heavy-duty cage trucks being towed in front of us at one go can be said to be far beyond the current understanding of the Huanghuang people. The impact of civilization that spans several eras has made people, including the settlers nearby and the birds in the distance,
The people inside suddenly turned into a group of stone statues frozen in astonishment.
Under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone, the armored truck over there dragged eight cage cars and drove out for a long distance.
Just dragging such a heavy load was unbelievable, and judging from the speed, the armored vehicle seemed to still have quite a bit of leeway. When Queluo couldn't help but click his tongue, the armored vehicle over there had already driven to a relatively flat area, and then
Turn left, draw a large arc with the cage car and drive back to the bottom of the mountain village.
Seeing the car array returning, the settlers burst into cheers that could be heard even on the hillside.
I saw the craftsmen installing the connectors shouting as if they were on fire, climbing up the traffic array with red faces and shirtless faces, their enthusiastic appearance was like that of a prostitute after seeing a stunning beauty, and their aura was breathtaking even from a distance away
It all made Queluo's back feel chilly.
On the other hand, although they were not as enthusiastic as the craftsmen, the remaining settlers were also full of joy. Under the command of the Ji Zhengfu soldiers and others, they began to move the remaining materials into the cage carriages, and boarded the carriages one by one in order of priority for the elderly and children.
The ones who are more nervous at this time should be the drivers who are trying to control the beasts of burden. After all, judging from the previous speed of the armored vehicle formation, even if the beasts of burden are not towing heavy objects, they may not be able to keep up.
Of course, for Que Luo, who was watching from a distance, what he felt was not nervousness but fear.
Not to mention the Central Plains countries, even the imperial territory that boasts that Fangzao is unparalleled has never had an accumulator like that that can transport an entire colony, including people and goods, in one breath! Such a monster's performance is simply unbelievable.
Unheard of! Even if Queluo is a layman who knows a little about craftsmanship, he can still see that the existence of the armored car has already gone beyond the scope of ordinary weapons, to the extent of shaking up strategy and even establishing political strategy!
Liyang Territory actually hides such a terrifying strategic weapon!
This information was so important that it made Kinoji's fate as meaningless as pebbles on the roadside.
When Queluo came back to his senses, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold. He stared blankly at the armored vehicle array over there, trying hard to think of the current countermeasures in the chaotic thoughts. However, whether it was to intercept the armored vehicle array or destroy Kinoji, she alone could
It was definitely impossible. Queluo subconsciously looked in the direction of the camp, wondering whether to give this credit to Gao Qi.
However, before she could come to a conclusion, a dazzling fire suddenly appeared at the edge of the forest.
