v5 Chapter 37: Advantages of staggered road wheels
I just pierced the city gate with a single shot, and now the thing that continues to damage the city wall back and forth is indeed a city car. It's just that this is not a common manpower or animal-powered city rushing vehicle, but a crawler chassis rushing city vehicle.
It was a site seven or eight meters long and three to four meters wide, with nine sets of road wheels with a diameter of nearly one meter, arranged in a staggered manner.
This is the staggered road wheel that Sonny criticized when she was chatting with Kraun Pace. Now this staggered road wheel chassis is purchased by the Empire, and a length of about 20 meters and a diameter of about 3 meters are installed on it. Huge rushing wood!
Then the city rush vehicle controlling this crawler chassis rushed directly across the distance of this kilometer to destroy the gates and walls of Junker City.
The crawler chassis firmly grasps the ground, so that this section of seaside rocky ground without any repairs is flat in front of it. The staggered road wheels and suspension with a long stroke prevent such a huge stroke wood from swaying during travel and impact. Dangle.
In short, this kind of chariot chassis with staggered road wheels fully ensured that the city rushing vehicle rushed from the seaside all the way along the gentle **** directly for one kilometer, and broke the city gate before the defenders could react.
Then, the rushing car repeated the mechanical operation of "forward → crash → reverse → turn → forward → crash..." in front of Junker City.
Although there are soldiers on the city wall from time to time throwing arrows or throwing stones or rolling logs at the city cart, it is of course useless.
In fact, there are some who pour oil and throw burning cans, but it seems that the Imperial Army has also considered it for a long time. Before setting off, a layer of sand that was wetted with seawater from local materials was added to it, which effectively blocked the flames.
"It looks like it's a good time to play in the city car, but don't you feel uncomfortable to repair this kind of staggered wheels?" Kraunpith asked a soldier casually.
"Um... I am not responsible for repairing weapons, so I don't know, but..." The soldier hesitated and said, "If it is such a powerful city car, even if it is a little troublesome to repair, it is worth it, isn't it?"
"That's how it is." Kraun Pith understood what the soldiers meant. It turned out that his own thinking mode was considered OUT in this other world——
The advantage of staggered road wheels is to allow more wheels to share the load while keeping the car body small, so that the life of the wheels is prolonged. On top of this, the length of the car body is effectively reduced while maintaining the load. A certain amount of material is added, but some load capacity is increased.
It's like buying a luxury sports car on the earth that has no shortcomings and makes people happy, but this kind of sports car will probably make people vomit blood in terms of maintenance, but buying this kind of car is definitely a big money, and I won't care. This little money is just a car, isn't it, and it's not a money-burning army.
Under the current concept of war, the assault vehicle is a weapon used only to destroy city gates and walls in a siege, and there is no need to keep a lot of them, so the maintenance problem is not big.
Suddenly, 40% of the empire's battleships fired at the same time!
A large number of large javelins with some low-level magic exploded in a tower. Although they were not too powerful, they successfully destroyed the tower and the entire gate collapsed.
"Did something happen over there?" Kraun Pith understood that those warships must not have fired their guns without authorization.
No one answered.
"It's really no way." Kraunpis shifted his binoculars to look at the place where he was bombarded, "I can't see anything... Well, anyway, I killed a slightly threatening enemy, so be it. ."
Now, the imperial army has just disembarked and is calmly deploying formations on the shore.
The Imperial Army was not in a hurry to attack.
Although there are intelligence reports that the city has been chaotic, they only knew that to this extent, they didn’t know that Meliface had over-fulfilled the mission and directly paralyzed the entire city’s command layer. Now if they attacked directly, they might be able to. Victory was won.
At present, the imperial army is enticing the enemy, so it "allows" the rush vehicle to continue to destroy the city wall under the helpless enemy's eyelids, forcing the opponent to take the initiative out of the city to counterattack, and then the rush vehicle retreats to lure the enemy into the range of the battleship.
In fact, the current ballista's maximum range may be able to hit the city wall, but it is not certain that the addition of magic may cause a lot of damage, but-
Compared with the rushing vehicles attacking a few places to lure the enemy into using the superiority of the warship firepower to attack, directly using the fleet to carry out carpet bombing will have the effect of destroying the enemy. I am afraid that all of them will be turned into ruins. This city will become the territory of the empire in the future. , I still need to use it, I can't bear it.
Really reluctant, now the Imperial Navy has such a surplus.
Sure enough, the army in the city chased the crawler chassis rush vehicle that began to reverse and retreat, and came out of the city!
The admiral Gironde, who is sitting in the flagship of the Imperial Fleet, personally took a look with a binoculars, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and told the signal soldier to send an order: "When the enemy approaches 500 meters, the whole fleet, volley, let these ignorant races see. The imperial navy is awesome!"
The 10,000 infantry soldiers who have already landed in the battlefield have formed a relatively conservative phalanx under the command of other commanders, capable of offensive and defensive.
They didn't carry any awkward siege equipment, just to chase and kill them all the way into the city at any time when the enemy was defeated.
They don't need any siege equipment. If the enemy resists fiercely at the city walls and gates, as a last resort, they can still use the fleet to destroy the city walls on a large scale.
Crowen Pith heard the magic students near him talking there, and some of them were unabashedly jealous.
"What's that? No formation at all?"
"It feels like we are ruining our IQ by confronting that kind of guy head-on."
"Could it be that the Lord Meliphis killed all their commanders, so no one is commanding it?"
"That guy...is that great?"
"Well... it's the chief at any rate. It's said that it's approaching the hero domain. Isn't it the right level? Humph!"
"Ah? Doesn't she make a big contribution like this? I want to make a big contribution too!"
"Then who asked her to go in the first place? There is a kind of you to go?"
"These people are also leisurely enough...Well~lightnovelpub.net~ The battle is too smooth, is there no way for these people who have not experienced real fighting?" Kraunpisi copied her hands and looked at the leisurely group. The magic student thought.
"Hey, you—what kind of look is that?!" A magic student seemed to be upset at Kraunpith and wanted to come over and do something, but was held back by other students.
"Wait, stop, even if it's just a civilian, that's the second place."
"There is Lord Paradine behind, we can't afford it."
"Cut, good luck guy." The man didn't seem to lose his mind, so he closed his mouth at persuasion.
"Well, you got a life back." Of course, Kraunpis didn't care about the trash fish that was less than 15 and continued to watch the enemy chasing the chase and the imperial army getting closer and closer.
