In China, the canned cola beverage market has been monopolized by two major brands for many years.
One is the Delicious brand, which mainly uses red and white colors, and the other is the Pepsi brand that prefers blue and white.
The two have always been at loggerheads with each other, competing on everything from price, publicity to packaging materials. You copy, I copy, I copy you.
In the past few years, Coca-Cola cans used high-quality aluminum alloy as the main material, and PepsiCo quickly followed suit.
As a result, these two cans quickly became the focus of waste pickers, and picking up one can be compared to several plastic bottles.
This is also cheaper for Xiao Yu. The aluminum alloy of the can is a good thing. It is lighter than iron, stronger, corrosion-resistant, and has its own metal reflection.
Of course, the more important thing is that this thing is free!
There are dozens of these empty cans piled up in Xiao Yu's home, where they are usually put away after drinking and waiting to be sold for money.
Now that there was an army of barbarians in the Lilliputian country to help out, Xiao Yu thought that these cans made of good materials could be used to equip these desperadoes.
As for the actual effect, doesn’t this require actual combat?
…………
Ironfort Castle is built on the mountain, which means it only needs to build three walls. As for the cliff it backs against, it is a thousand-meter-high cliff that extraordinary people can climb!
Speaking of which, when he heard that Enric, the King of Steel City, was coming to attack the city with a group of barbarians, the old city lord of Iron Castle didn't quite believe it.
With Enric's IQ, he should know how strong the Melted Iron Castle is. How could it be possible for an egg to touch a stone?
In the past five hundred years, Rongtie Castle has never been captured from the front. Every time it surrendered, it was not because it was besieged until it ran out of ammunition and food, so it had to surrender.
What's more, the old city lord has also learned that Archduke Yanan attaches great importance to Enric and is doing his best to gather an army. The longer the time goes on, the more disadvantageous it will be to Enric!
"It should be a strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. General Babu is also a famous general in the kingdom. It should be easy to make such a strategy and successfully hide it from our spies."
The old city lord was sitting in the tower, talking in a low voice with his cronies, and enjoying a delicious breakfast while talking.
"This is the honey-glazed pork steak sent from the royal capital. It has been here for many years and it still tastes the same. It's because the owner has changed." The old city lord wiped his mouth with a gauze towel and was about to ask his cronies to arrange a few beauties for him to cook.
Exercise after eating.
suddenly!
There was a bang! The whole tower shook suddenly!
There was a clattering sound, but the plate containing the honey-glazed pork chops fell to the ground.
The old city lord didn't care about stepping on these leftovers. He hurriedly came to the window and pushed it open.
Suddenly a cold wind rushed into the room with the shouts of thousands of people, irritating the old man's fragile eardrums.
"Oh my God! This guy Enrique is actually serious!"
Looking at the densely packed troops on the horizon outside the window, and listening to the high morale shouts in his ears, the old city lord was verbose and in disbelief.
bump!
The door was opened, and several senior officers hurried over: "Lord City Lord! The enemy is coming!"
Phew... The old city lord clenched his fists to quickly calm down, then turned around and shouted with a majestic look:
"Why are you panicking? Haven't we already arranged the city defense troops?"
"Under our feet is an iron-melting castle! No one has been able to break the iron-melting castle for five hundred years!"
"Yes...yes, Lord City Lord, it's just..." The leading officer, sweating profusely, took a few steps forward and leaned lower: "The enemy seems to have powerful worldly wonders to help, and our military morale is a bit unsatisfactory.
Steady!"
"Huh?" The old city lord was shocked and quickly pushed everyone aside and walked out of the tower.
When we came to the city wall, our sight suddenly opened up, and the old city lord was able to see the panoramic view ahead clearly.
When he saw the direction pointed by the officers, the experienced old man could not help but tremble slightly in his body, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
The 180-meter-tall giant was an extremely astonishing existence even from a distance. Those barbarians who were about the same height as himself and others were as inconspicuous as ants in front of the giant.
It would be incredible to have such a monster! But what is the situation now? Why is there a one-eyed steel mount sitting on the 100-meter-level giant with eyes bigger than a house and a body much thicker than the giant!
Yes, the body of the mount that makes one's scalp numb just by looking at it must be covered with a layer of steel. Although it is coated with a layer of blue, how can it not be seen in the eyes of a knight-level transcendent? That blue color
Inside the coating, there is steel so thick that it is difficult to detect the thickness!
It was the three round legs that seemed to be very elastic that made the old city owner confused. He had never seen a similar monster or the material covering it in his life.
However, unknowingly, it only increased his fear of the electric tricycle. After confirming that the monster mount was not a living being, he, like others, regarded it as another world wonder in the hands of the giant.
"Look, City Lord, that giant's mount seems to be able to carry an army. The loud noise just now was caused by that mount." An officer approached the old City Lord and whispered:
"It seems that the door at the back has been opened. Look at the cart moving around on the wheels. That's where it came out."
"Well... I hope this thing is extremely restrictive and cannot be used in combat."
The old city lord still had a keen eye. After seeing the huge electric tricycle covered with steel armor, the old man keenly realized that the balance of victory was tilting towards the King of Steel City.
He couldn't imagine how much devastation this electric tricycle would cause when charging on the plains against thousands of troops! He doubted that the pride of the kingdom, those legion square soldiers, would be ruthlessly crushed by these three-legged monsters.
Massacre and meaningless sacrifice...
"Those carts are unfolding...it seems to be some kind of projectile machine!" A close aide next to the old city lord said strangely: "It's too far, it must be at least 1,500 meters away from us."
"Fifteen hundred meters away?" The old city lord frowned and asked, "Where is our ballistae? Can it hit there?"
"It's impossible to hit this. It's too far." The confidant shook his head: "The longest distance of the ballista is only 800 meters. Even if the world's rare object is used, it is only about 1,200 meters."
"After the other party has laid the ground, it should be pushed over with the siege vehicles and ladders." The confidant said this, but found that the corners of the old city lord's mouth were trembling.
"Their siege engines and men moved, but the trebuchets did not move!"
"Damn! They're assembling rocks! They're going to shoot!"
"Impossible, such a long distance..." The confidant took a step back, unable to believe that the stone thrower could shoot. The old city lord pushed him away with one hand and strode to the wall and shouted: "Get ready! The war has begun.
Got it!"
Xiao Yu drove an electric tricycle to transport the slower siege troops and a large amount of logistical supplies, making the army march much faster.
The army, which had high morale after breakfast, soon saw that the walls of Iron Iron Castle had begun to stop for repairs.
Xiao Yu also took the opportunity to stand on the car and look at the target in front of him, which could be regarded as a big city in Lilliput.
Speaking of which, this iron-melting castle is quite large. It occupies at least as much space as an indoor tennis court. The mountains on its back are more than ten meters high, which is quite dangerous.
The terrain inside the fortress is complex, many areas are uneven, and the houses are mainly stacked on top of each other, giving it a bit of a mountain city feel.
"No wonder it is said to be a fortress under siege. The terrain has great advantages!"
"However, I came prepared this time. Let me achieve the Iron Melting Castle for the first time!"
"ignition!"
After receiving Xiao Yu's nod, the artillerymen, who had almost become Xiao Yu's personal guard, coated the stone bullets on the trebuchet with a layer of pitch-black gasoline.
Xiao Yu actually wanted to use alcohol at first, but after realizing that alcohol was too tempting to the natives of Lilliput, he had to use a chemical experiment as an excuse to ask for a liter of gasoline.
Otherwise, a group of shirtless men full of heat would surround the stone bullets that were larger than them in various postures, secretly licking them from time to time, and then licking them again...
