Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2174 Falling apart? No!

After Qu Siyuan left the Jianye tribe, the tribe soon prepared supplies for the first external attack, and they assembled a simple motorized force.

The most amazing thing about battlefield engineers is not how many advanced technologies they have learned. The engineers sent here cannot use any advanced technologies they master.

Conditions limited the small tribes in these remote areas. At most, they could complete some simple steel drills and materials for making machinery, and most of them could only use wooden structures.

It was almost impossible to make a steam engine in such an environment. Therefore, most of the vehicles used in combat were actually disposable. After being transported to a place close to the battlefield by the Romans, these disposable vehicles were released for surprise attacks, or ambushed behind the enemy, attacking the opponent unexpectedly, and then running away.

The warriors in the tribe transported their weapons to the bushes, hiding them on the path that the enemy would pass through. The masters of the Golden Family were not defenseless against these remote tribes. It was just that their pressure over the years had made these remote tribes dare not take action at all, so they were too relaxed.

Now that their main forces were tied down by the underground base, they were unable to spare any manpower, so those small tribes that were suppressed by powerful military force in the past were no longer as obedient as they were in the past when faced with a crisis of life and death.

Buried in the bushes was a simple two-wheeled motorcycle, but it was not powered by steam or internal combustion engines. These precision machines could not be made with the current technological level. Even if the battlefield engineers brought some machine tools, it would not be enough to raise the industrial level to the steam age in a short period of time.

These wooden machines use the most primitive, simplest and crude clockwork power. In his exploration of the alien world, Lan Nuo has verified more than once that sometimes some quite classical designs can achieve quite good results on the battlefield and in industrial applications.

For example, clockwork power, as an extremely primitive design, is theoretically completely unqualified as a vehicle's power, but in a world with extraordinary power, this theory may not be untenable. Because in a world with extraordinary power, the strength of materials does not increase linearly with the increase in technological level.

Even with extremely primitive technology, the materials that can be touched may have extremely high strength. For example, the skin, flesh, tendons and bones of some powerful beasts have strong toughness or extremely high strength. Even some poisonous insects are not absorbed into the human body, but their bodies are super materials with excellent physical properties.

Similar things are not rare in the whole world, and these dozen spring engines are made in this way. Relying on the gearbox wrapped with iron sheets and the full-strength spring on the animal power, they can maintain high-intensity output for more than ten minutes. The power during this period is higher than that of war horses. More importantly, this thing is cheaper than war horses. After completing the mission, you only need to dismantle the gearbox and carry an extra load of about ten kilograms to take away the most precious part of the vehicle. The remaining wooden frame. Even women and children can produce it skillfully after a period of practice, and the output is huge. In contrast, it takes several years to breed a war horse and take good care of it. A war horse in the bedroom is a huge loss for the tribe.

At this moment, these motorized warriors took advantage of the night to ambush in the grass, far away from the business road, waiting for the target to enter the encirclement, and then started the motorcycles under them at the same time. The wooden wheels rotated at high speed. At the same time, they were not the only ones attacking. Gliders were placed on the bed in the back. At the same time as the attack was launched, they were catapulted into the sky. The lightweight warriors specially selected from the tribesmen rode on these gliders and flew hundreds of meters above the grassland with almost no drop. Like a war eagle, they glided towards the location of the target team. Relying on the high speed brought by the conversion of gravitational potential energy, they launched a round of dive bombing before the ground troops arrived.

Compared to making complex mechanical configurations, some explosives are quite simple for battlefield mechanics, and the Gu configuration on them is also specialized in this aspect. Not only can they produce explosives with their true essence, but they can also catalyze the decomposition of organic matter by certain fungi. Just fill a large amount of grass, and it can quickly decompose and ferment into explosive raw materials, and mix them according to the proportion to make a simple bomb.

At this moment, the people on the gliders dropped small pumpkin-like bombs.

The team of the Golden Family escorting the logistical supplies was guarded by several second-level masters. In the past, even if the remote tribes here had the intention to steal, they could not touch so many masters, but now it has come to a critical moment of life and death. Moreover, with a batch of new equipment, the situation of the battle has changed immediately.

Although there was no support from the masters of the underground base this time, the surprise attack of the first controllable question still caught the opponent off guard.

Dozens of small bombs were dropped, and the explosions blew the logistics troops upside down. In a panic, many people fled in all directions. The most unlucky one was killed in the carriage. The bombers were also targeted. They specifically targeted those luxurious carriages to drop bombs. When the enemy's masters acted at night, they would mostly rest in relatively comfortable carriages and were unlikely to walk as hard as others.

As expected, several people were injured in the explosion. The most unlucky one was killed in the carriage without having the chance to show his fighting ability.

And then they were met with a burst of gunfire. The extremely limited steel production was used to produce the submachine guns in their hands. Field engineers should produce some precision machinery, which is not completely impossible. The configuration of the Gu worms on their bodies inherited the predecessor of the Shanhe Republic. The configuration during the Production and Construction Corps period usually had a one or two-turn steelmaking Gu. In addition to the catalytic effect when smelting ore, this Gu worm can also control the properties of steel to a certain extent. In a short period of time, the steel will be softened to a certain extent. Although it is not as easy to knead as plasticine, it is still relatively easy to stamp out the desired shape with a hard steel stamping tool.

This made it possible to manufacture rapid-fire firearms for emergency use on the battlefield under limited conditions, but the ammunition reserves for these guns were very pitiful. Because the bullets also needed to be hand-rolled by battlefield mechanics, at most other more troublesome process steps were handed over to others, and the production efficiency could not be too high. Each person had about 50 rounds of bullets, which was basically only enough for two rounds of shooting during the charge.

But this is actually enough. At the second level, unless you are a genius in the family, you are basically still a mortal. Even if you use defensive insects, it is difficult to block bullets. You need to reach the third level to ignore the threat of most small-caliber firearms. However, in a logistics team like this, there is obviously no one at this level.

After a round of shooting, several second-level soldiers who were already injured were hit by several more bullets. Except for one person who was lucky enough to be slightly injured, the rest were lying on the ground. The second round of shooting was aimed at him, so that he only had time to throw a huge fireball before he was shot into a hornet's nest.

However, the fireball did blow up a chariot, and the soldiers on the chariot were blown into the air. Their lives were unknown. But in comparison, the casualties of the logistics troops were even more serious. Those who could run had already run away. In front of this group of soldiers riding chariots and wielding sabers, the ordinary soldiers who lost the protection of the extraordinary people had no ability to resist at all.

At this time, the glider warriors who had dived out had completed their second take-off in the rear, and the crossbow cart shot them out again after they landed. They relied on the little power provided by the manpower on the vehicle. Although it could not increase the endurance much, it was enough for them to fly back to the crossbow cart and quickly launch the second round after completing a round of dive bombing.

Cooperating with the cavalry on the ground, they dispersed the hundreds of troops on the opposite side in a blink of an eye. To achieve this, the crude air force took the lead in evacuating.

The motorized troops immediately sent a group of people to drive away the enemy, and the remaining horses were used to transport supplies back. As for those who were accidentally killed, it was actually easy to deal with. Their clockwork engines still had a lot of energy left, and they were designed so that they could be tied with reins to pull the carts.

In the blink of an eye, several large carts were pulled by them and quickly went away into the depths of the grassland.

If such a serious crime had been committed in the past, the Golden Family would definitely have tracked it down. The final outcome would most likely be the confiscation of the family and the extermination of the entire tribe.

But this time the situation was different. When the leaders of the tribes on the front line received the information from the rear, they were extremely worried. Their troops responsible for transporting logistics were attacked frequently. Almost all the logistics materials of the families were not delivered in time. There were more than 500 attacks in three consecutive days, and the loss of materials exceeded 50,000 tons, and even dozens of space insects were lost. For a while, the supply on the front line became tense.

Eating is not a problem for the people at the scene. There are all kinds of strange poisonous insects in this world, and some of them can be relied upon to consume true energy to produce food. These are real food and can really be eaten.

Although the supply of materials was in short supply, it was barely enough to keep all the soldiers and Gu Masters fed with these people. However, the real consumer of materials was not people, but the tens of millions of animals they maintained. Not all livestock could be fed by just eating grass on the grassland. Some needed meat. Some needed grain. Some even needed more refined feed.

If they were normally dispersed, it would be easy to feed these creatures. It would be enough to let them disperse to various parts of the grassland to hunt. Anyway, the grassland is vast and sparsely populated. There is still a lot of food in nature.

But now that so many of them were gathered together, the grass around them had been eaten bare. The grassland was almost turned into a desert, and the battlefield was in ruins from the destruction of both sides. The ground had been deeply plowed by artillery shells. It was really difficult to feed so many beasts.

With 1 tons of supplies missing all of a sudden, and an estimated tons of supplies to be lost every day, the coalition forces of the various families were on the verge of collapse. Not only that, but more bad news came from the rear. Their family nest was actually attacked. The attackers were those marginal tribes that they had once looked down upon.

In the past, they would not even look at those guys who did not have the blood of the Golden Family. But now, they have become a worry in their hearts. You can imagine how they felt when their hometown was robbed while they were away on the expedition. If they did not come back to help in time, who knows how much loss they would suffer?

The bad thing is that their intelligence agents also suffered frequent sneak attacks. There were many people responsible for transmitting intelligence, and they could only transmit scattered intelligence. Many people were killed along the way, and a lot of intelligence was successfully transmitted back with the help of the channel insects treasured by the family.

Compared with the tribes they launched the raid on, they actually had an advantage in intelligence. In addition to industrial equipment, the most important thing the warriors who broke out carried was the radio station.

This thing is probably one of the few devices in the underground bases below the immortals that are far ahead of this era. The radio network and the channel insects that are far ahead of this era in terms of efficiency and cost in transmitting information. Even at the immortal level, the convenience of the channel insects is far inferior to the Internet on Earth in the 21st century.

Intelligence sharing and information warfare are also a major advantage for the tribes across the grassland to achieve such brilliant results.

If they didn't have the advantage of information technology and rely on the eyes of people from other tribes, it would be difficult for them to find out where the target's logistics troops were. They didn't have air force reconnaissance in the vast grasslands, so they could only rely on the observation and estimation of other tribes to guess the possible routes of those troops and then set up an ambush on the road.

The coalition was about to fall apart. Even the leader of the coalition, Dongfang Yuliang, had already replaced him and fled in advance. When the crisis of the underground base was about to be temporarily resolved, a burst of hurried horse hooves came from the distant sky. A powerful grassland army was galloping in a mighty manner. The burly "man" in the lead brought tremendous pressure to the coalition just by riding on a horse.

After being fooled by Dongfang Yuliang for more than a month, Hei Loulan finally figured out the truth of the matter and led his troops directly to where the coalition forces were.
