Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 83: Hook Machine vs. Dragon City Armored Cavalry
XCMG XE4000 mining excavator.

A behemoth whose body is even more majestic than the 100-ton King Mining Card.

The roar of the engine starting up is like the roar of a dragon.

“I spent so much money on gas.”

Lin Dao, who was in the cockpit, subconsciously recalled the huge fuel bill he had spent on refueling before.

This big guy is not an oil guzzler, it’s a funnel sieve!
As soon as the engine started, the fuel in the tank swirled down as if it was poured into a funnel!

If you don't have some wealth, you can't even afford to fuel this big guy.

“This thing is so hard to open!”

Although I have already found a professional crane master and practiced with him many times in private.

But facing the complex operating system, Lin Dao was still flustered, and he was angry in his heart, "I worked so hard to make money, but it was all lost."

"I worry about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of so many people, and I'm exhausted all day long, but I don't even have a chance to enjoy myself."

"Thinking about it now, I should have just ignored the beggars and focused on making money."

"People here don't care about their lives. It would be great if I could earn some gold and go back to the modern world to enjoy life in the brothels."

Driving this large excavator is very tedious and tiring.

When he practiced before, it was even harder than when he was in school, so complaints were inevitable.

Of course, he was just complaining.

After all, he has a conscience and moral bottom line, and has witnessed the misery of this world.

With so many people placing their hopes on him, he naturally takes on the responsibility.

If you really spend the whole day in brothels listening to music, it will become boring after a long time.

The heavy tracks moved slowly forward, leaving deep marks on the ground.

Two miles away, the Longcheng armored cavalry, who were constantly looking for gaps in the barbed wire and harassing the Qihuo Army, were thrown to the ground in an instant.

The sound of the engine was so terrifying that even a trained warhorse could not suppress its fear, and it neighed and roared and ran around everywhere.

With the bucket extended, the giant creature with a total length of more than 30 meters, the oppressive feeling brought by its huge body was too strong.

"Go, go, go!!"

Murong Chui suddenly pulled the reins and roared, "Go back to the valley!"

Murong Ke, who was standing on the mountainside, had his hands trembling and felt cold all over.

"Is this the steel behemoth you were talking about?!"

It's really a monster.

Even when looking down from above, it is still extremely huge.

Especially the roaring sound, which made people's hearts and livers tremble.

I asked, but got no response.

Murong Ke turned around in confusion, only to see Fu Hong, whose face was pale and who was also trembling.

"No, not this."

Listening to Fu Hong's trembling whisper, Murong Ke was even more puzzled. "What did you say?"

"It's not this!" Fu Hong took a deep breath and suppressed his fear. "The one outside Yecheng before was not this."

Murong Ke understood.

He hurriedly asked, "What's the difference?"

Fu Hong shook his head, "I don't know."

He really didn't know that the two steel behemoths had very different appearances.

Especially the one at the foot of the mountain, it actually has a long claw extending from the front, the shape is really weird.

The only thing in common is that they are both so huge that they can make people terrified.

Also, this big guy at the foot of the mountain seems to be moving very slowly.

It is indeed slow.

Although this oversized crane is large enough, its speed is only a few kilometers per hour.

It's about the same speed as a person walking.

"It's your choice."

Lin Dao, who was in the cockpit, watched as a large number of Xianbei armored cavalry turned their horses around and ran back into the valley. He was relieved. "Once we get in, it won't be that easy to get out."

Although the crane is slow, it is very close to the valley.

It rumbled into a not very spacious valley.

"We're fighting a war, focus!"

On the hillsides on both sides, both the Qihuo Army and the Xianbei and Di people lost their virginity because of the appearance of the hook machine.

They were either stunned or looked panic-stricken.

For a moment, even the intensity of the war dropped.

The first person to come back to his senses was Ran Min.

With just one sentence, he boosted the morale of the beggars' army and they bravely rushed into the battle.

"It's the Marshal who's controlling the mechanical beast!"

Most of the beggar soldiers who attacked the mountain had witnessed the heroic figure of the commander-in-chief riding the mechanical beast outside Yecheng City.

Although I have replaced it with a new mechanical beast, it’s enough as long as I know that it is on my side.

In contrast, the morale of the Xianbei and Di peoples was clearly hit.

Fortunately, Murong Ke sent people to inform the troops in time.

"That monster can't climb the mountain."

Only in this way could the morale of the army be stabilized.

Without having to worry about traffic rules, I gradually got the hang of driving a crane on the forest trail.

As they entered the valley, teams of Longcheng armored cavalry, who had steadied their horses, galloped back and forth, shooting arrows at the hook machines.

Even the Dragon City Armored Cavalry did not dare to approach the steel behemoth.

There is no way, the huge body of this crane is too oppressive.

We entered the valley and walked for a few miles.

The Longcheng Armored Cavalry, who were constantly luring the hook machines in front, intensified their harassment.

Because a few dozen feet ahead is the location of the trench and pit.

They had to distract Lin Dao as much as possible to prevent him from seeing through the trap.

As for the arrows shot by the Dragon City Armored Cavalry, they were useless against the hook machine whose important parts were welded with steel plates, and they could only hear a clinking sound.

Seeing the crane about to drive into the pit and trench, Murong Chui in the valley and Murong Ke on the hillside both smiled.

But when the crane tracks were only a few meters away from the pit, they stopped.

In an instant, everyone's expression changed.

A moment later, the crane started moving again.

But instead of moving forward, the huge bucket fell, smashing the wooden planks covering the pit. Murong Chui gritted his teeth and said, "How did he know?!"

After smashing all the baffles, Lin Dao drove the crane sideways, approaching one side of the mountain.

The huge bucket continued to dig, widening and deepening the pit.

This action left the Dragon City armored cavalry not far away confused.

"Are you trying to trap us?" Murong Chui was puzzled. "What's the point?"

"If we can't get through, you can't get through either."

If it really doesn't work, they can just dismount and climb up the hill.

This giant monster probably can't climb up the mountain.

The valley was not spacious, so Lin Dao drove a crane back and forth to dig horizontally.

After looking at the sloping hillsides on both sides, Lin Dao picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Liu Hu, put a Molotov cocktail on Feitian Shenluan."

Liu Hu didn't know who Molotov was. He only knew that this cocktail should not be drunk, as it would cause a burning heart and lead to death.

Quickly install the external accessories of the large drone and check to confirm that they are correct.

Liu Hu retreated and raised the intercom in his hand. "Master, it's done."

Lin Dao picked up the control panel of the drone.

A large drone took off and flew over a hillside with the cocktail in tow.

The can fell and hit the hillside heavily.

The splashing liquid covered a large area.

As the kindling fell, it ignited the liquid and a raging flame quickly broke out.

Driven by the wind, the flames ignited the trees, vines and bushes on the hillside.

The fire began to spread at an extremely fast speed.

Here in Lindao, drive the drone back.

After landing, Liu Hu and his team quickly stepped forward and hung up a new can of external cocktail.

The same operation was performed, but this time the hillside on the other side was set on fire.

It was only then that Murong Chui suddenly realized, "He wants to burn us to death!?"

"Go! Go!"

Murong Chui shouted and ran towards the depths of the valley with the Dragon City cavalry.

Arriving at the end of the valley, Murong Chui made a quick decision: "Everyone dismount and climb the mountain!"

Abandoning the warhorse that he regarded as his life, he climbed the mountain with difficulty to try to escape.

Murong Chui knew very well that as long as people were alive, it was more important than anything else.

There are plenty of war horses, but it is extremely difficult to train warriors who have experienced many battles.

The slopes are steep and covered with bushes.

The ground was piled with all kinds of dead branches, rotten leaves and vines, which had accumulated for who knows how many years.

The Longcheng cavalry crawled up the mountain, and the movement was very difficult.

What was even more terrible was that the flying phoenix above their heads was staring at them like a clairvoyant, and the jar fell straight into the crowd.

The raging flames engulfed many Dragon City armored cavalrymen who were climbing the mountain.

The shrill screams and the constantly rolling firemen brought great psychological shock to the Dragon City armored cavalry.

The rolling and struggling firemen ignited more dead branches and rotten leaves.

The wind today is blowing into the valley.

The wind fanned the flames, and the burned area grew larger and larger, with the fire line gradually blocking the mountainsides on both sides.

Drones kept coming and going, dropping canisters of Molotov cocktails.

During this period, Liu Hu and his team even replaced the battery of the drone.

The raging flames became increasingly dense, eventually completely blocking the mountain path.

Except for a very few lucky ones who escaped before the fire line was closed.

Nearly two thousand Dragon City armored cavalry were trapped in this valley that was several miles deep but a dead end.

Everyone looked at Murong Chui.

Murong Chui, who was not even twenty years old, had a fierce look in his eyes.

"Mount!"

"rush out!"

At this time, the mountains on both sides were full of fire, and with the help of the wind, they were spreading into the valley.

The only way to survive is the entrance to the valley.

A large number of armored cavalry returned to the trench. Now they knew why the steel giant had dug wide and deep trenches before.

It is to cut off their way of survival!

The armored cavalry in the front row dismounted and drove their beloved horses into the trench.

Hundreds of war horses filled the trench, forcing out a bloody passage.

Many Dragon City armored cavalrymen rode their horses through this bloody passage and rushed towards the valley exit not far away.

'Hmm~~~'

The huge bucket swept over with a roar, hitting the armored cavalry from the side, and knocking the armored cavalry and his horse flying.

The bucket was also extended into the trench to dig out the war horses that were filling the trench.

Murong Chui's eyes turned red. "Charge!"

Life and death are at stake, and the Dragon City cavalry are also furious.

He stabbed the warhorse's buttocks with his backhand, stimulating it to charge forward rapidly.

The bucket of the crane swung back and forth, knocking away the Longcheng armored cavalry who were trying to rush across the trench.

The armored cavalry on the other side of the trench were shooting arrows crazily, and the sound of jingling was endless.

The soldiers who lost their horses jumped into the trenches one after another.

They supported each other to build a human ladder and struggled to climb out of the trench.

He rushed to the side of the hook machine, waving the weapon in his hand and slashing and smashing it randomly.

It can be said that he is very brave.

However, it was useless and didn't even attract Lin Dao's attention.

The bucket of the crane kept digging in the trench.

People and horses were mixed with mud and everything was stirred together.

Seeing the most elite armored cavalry suffer such tragic losses.

Murong Chui, with bloodshot eyes, howled towards the sky, his voice like a night owl!
