Chapter 103 Experimental unit, code-named Cobalt

Amid the sound of horse hooves, a large group of cavalry galloped on the street, followed by infantry trotting quickly. Chen Shujian, who was originally in charge of Taicheng, attacked with the elite imperial guards and advanced quickly towards Longzhou Mountain. He wanted to reinforce the Longzhou Mountain defenders and repel the invading enemy.

Taicheng is located in the north of Jiankang City and is very close to Longzhou Mountain, so the troops who can reinforce Longzhou Mountain at the fastest speed are the imperial guards guarding Taicheng.

The safety of Taicheng is the top priority. Once there is a mistake, everything will be over. But Chen Shujian knew that if the Zhou army was allowed to enter Jiankang and the main troops in the city were dispersed, then relying on the lonely Taicheng may not be able to last long.

There is no foreign aid in the city, and although Taicheng is strong, it requires the army to support it outside. Therefore, the Zhou army must not be allowed to break into Jiankang and seize the retreat of other defending troops.

The war had reached its most critical moment. Chen Shujian made a quick decision and did not care about so many things. He summoned the imperial guards to attack. The main attack direction of the Zhou army was Longzhou Mountain, and the opponent's attack strength was beyond his previous imagination. Chen Shujian knew that if he could not withstand it now, there would be no future.

He looked forward. Longzhou Mountain is now like a huge bonfire. The fire lights soaring into the sky reflect the night sky red. The Taicheng behind him was also set on fire by unknown objects flying from the north, and fires ignited in many places.

It is conceivable how much shock this situation will cause to the officers and soldiers who are guarding the North Limen and the East Limen.

The soldiers would be worried that Longzhou Mountain would be lost, that the enemy had entered the city and attacked Taicheng, and could attack them from behind at any time. If this continues, the morale of the army will inevitably be disintegrated.

When Chen Shujian thought of this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. If the guards hadn't tried their best to persuade him, he really wanted to take the lead and rush to the front.

There were a large number of fleeing Chen soldiers. When reinforcements arrived, they finally came to their senses, slowed down, and gradually gathered. They heard that the King of Changsha personally led the troops to rescue him, and the dispersed morale began to recover.

The royal family and vassal kings came to the battle personally and brought so many soldiers. It is not impossible to fight back and turn defeat into victory!

The dispersed Chen army recovered a lot of morale and shouted to fight back. Zhou soldiers who were chasing him from the northern section of the street saw this and left the middle.

A square four-wheeler slowly stepped forward, and the lower half of the body was wet, as if it had just come out of the water. There were bulges above the body, like a small stone mill that seemed to be able to rotate.

There is a small mouth on the tower, like a stone mill outlet, and behind the tower is a chimney with thick smoke emitting rolling smoke.

"emission!"

With a command, the operator in the car moved the valve wrench, and the hot steam whizzed forward through the nozzle. Chen Jun, who was trying to counterattack, was covered by steam, screaming and many people fell to the ground in pain.

The four-wheeler advanced under the guidance of soldiers. There was a small coal-fired steam boiler on the car. Because it was preheated in advance, it could "spray while walking".

The first-year Guangde trial-making amphibious steam jet chariot is used to hang pigskin floating bags around the body, and can be towed by a ship, float directly across the river, and install four wheels and can be pushed by people to move on the ground.

The steam injection time of five minutes is about thirty steps, and the range is about thirty steps. Indiscriminately, steam can be sprayed on water and on land. It is a favorable support weapon for the navy to rush to the beach.

The first steam jet chariot made soldiers Chen turn over and over again. They were not scalded to death by the high-temperature steam. The soldiers who were burned turned around and ran backwards, huddled with the cavalry rushing forward, and were in a dilemma.

The second chariot then attacked from the left side of the first chariot, assaulted along the street, and sprayed hot steam ahead. The Chen army, who was squirting together, was killed and injured, and then collapsed.

The counterattack ended just as it started.

Chen Shujian, who led his army to charge, was overturned by his frightened mount and struggled to get up, but was knocked down by the defeated soldier who was crying and fleeing. He was trampled on by someone for many feet, and his nose was already swollen.

The guards rushed up to help him up, then helped him escape. Zhou soldiers who were pushing with spears chased after him. After a sudden stab, the guards were injured and killed. Uncle Chen pulled out his sword and howled, but was beaten unconscious by Zhou Bing's sticks.

He was dressed in bright light armor and his outfit was particularly conspicuous, so he was judged as a "high-value figure" by the soldiers of the experimental troops who rushed to the scene. He was knocked out and tied up and dealt with separately.

The experimental unit directly under King Bin, code-named "Cobalt", is equipped with various strange experimental weapons, and is engaged in combat on the battlefield. It collects various data through actual combat and evaluates after the war to see if there is any practical possibility.

The semi-finished product of steam jet chariot is just one of the weapons put into use by the experimental troops in this battle.

Second, the divine power is invincible and persuades you to retreat.

The street where the experimental troops are located is the north Yemen Gate of Taicheng at the end of the southern end. There are straight streets between the two ends, full of scattered Chen army soldiers. In a short period of time, no one can stop the Zhou army from launching an attack on the north Yemen Gate.

The steam jet chariot was boiling water to "storage steam", and the soldiers of the experimental troops could not be idle, so two four-wheelers named "Shenwei Invincible Persuading the Aircraft to Retreat" were pushed by soldiers and advanced along the street towards Taicheng.

The four-wheeler carriage is square, with two large cylinders on it, and the cylinder openings point diagonally towards the sky ahead, not knowing what the purpose is.

The Chen State's imperial guards guarding the north yemen gate of Taicheng were on high alert. When they saw their retreating comrades running along the street towards the city gate, they were anxious but they would not open the city gate because the enemy was right in front of them. Once the city gate opened, they could not close it.

The imperial guards were ready, and various wooden rocks were piled up at the top of the city. As long as the enemy dared to attack, there would be heavy casualties. The imperial guards only needed to persist for a while, and the troops elsewhere in the city would come to reinforce.

Seeing the Zhou army's vehicles slowly advancing along the street, the imperial guard general judged that it was a pointed wooden donkey used by the enemy to attack the city gate, or a cart loaded with thunder. He ordered the soldiers to drop a large number of horses and debris in front of the city gate to block the road.

An obstacle was formed in front of the Beiye Gate, preventing enemy vehicles from easily approaching, and blasting directly into the door opening.

However, two of Zhou's cars stopped more than a hundred steps away, and a group of people surrounded the vehicles and didn't know what they were busy with. The generals of the imperial guards were confused, but they did not dare to take it lightly. They mobilized door-to-door knives and blocked the Beiye door from the door.

A large number of imperial soldiers carried the horses and piled up behind the door-stop knives, and then waited for the battle. Once the opponent broke into the door, they would attack him head-on.

After his preparations were completed, the imperial guards on the city tower looked forward again, but saw a flash of fire from the Zhou army's vehicles in the street last year, and then a thunder sounded.

It seemed that something was roaring, drew a curved track in the air, crossed the Beiye Gate wall, and fell on the open space behind the door.

The explosion sounded, and a scarlet "gap" appeared among the crowd of imperial soldiers gathered in the city behind the gate. Many soldiers fell to the ground, covered in blood.

After a few breaths, thunder sounded, and another black thing flew in, and a second "gap" exploded among the gathering group of imperial soldiers.

More soldiers fell down. Although many were not dead, their bodies were covered with wounds, as if they were injured by many debris. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and the wailing soldiers were shocking.

Before the other imperial soldiers came to their senses, they saw their comrades lying in a pool of blood and quickly stepped forward to save the person.

At this moment, the thunder sounded again, and the third place was blown out of the crowd, and the fourth place was "gap". The soldiers of the imperial guards, who suffered heavy casualties, came back to their senses: the enemy did not know what methods they used to throw the thunder into the city from a distance.

The other party did not build a stone thief, but had the means to attack the people behind the wall through the city wall.

Thinking of the UFOs that flew from the sky into Jiankang, flew over Taicheng, and then threw down the fireball, the soldiers felt cold: The enemy's weapons were so cruel, how could they fight this battle?
