Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"Target locked, armor-piercing round number two!"

"Loading complete, main gun capacitor 100, good condition, ready to release!"

"put!"

The propellant was detonated, and a capped armor-piercing projectile was launched by the flames. After being accelerated a second time by the electromagnetic coil, it flew at high speed toward the target.

What followed was a violent shaking inside the car.

From the perspective of the Shogunate army, they only saw a flash of flame from the muzzle of the steel behemoth, followed by a violent explosion behind them.

"???"

Wait a minute! If I'm not mistaken, the cannonball fired by that cannon pierced through their protective barrier?!

Among the shogunate soldiers, some with better eyesight and concentration saw that a hole had been punched in the translucent pale purple barrier in the blink of an eye.

There were also some marks around that looked like broken glass.

This scene lasted only a moment before the barrier completely disappeared.

They could no longer see that translucent pale purple barrier.

So... what was the enemy's target just now...?

The shogunate soldiers were all praying silently, then stiffly turning their heads away.

What came into view was the barrier power supply device, whose main body had disappeared, leaving only some fragments on the ground.

After that came the elemental cannons, which had been blown to a distorted, distorted shape with their centers shattered.

"!"

They abruptly turned their heads back to look in the direction of the steel behemoth.

They have no protection whatsoever except for the trenches!

This undoubtedly instilled a sense of panic in the Shogunate army, who were accustomed to fighting the enemy from behind barriers.

"Fire! Use elemental bombs! Take it down!"

The commander of the shogunate army finally realized what was happening, and, suppressing his fear, tried to organize his troops to launch a counterattack.

Even a wrong command is better than doing nothing and letting panic crush the morale of the troops.

Inside the tank of the Haizhi Army, the loader immediately checked the main gun capacitor indicator light.

"Main gun capacitor 20, capacitor is charging!"

A mechanical watch was counting down nearby; at the current speed, it would take another 42 seconds to fully charge.

"Second gear cruising forward!"

Unfortunately, the total output power of the vehicle's batteries is insufficient, and the faster the vehicle travels, the slower the main battery capacitor charges.

However, while electromagnetic acceleration is unusable, pure chemical energy artillery can still be used with propellant, only the power of armor-piercing projectiles will be reduced.

It's more than enough to deal with these Shogunate troops who have lost their defenses.

"Target, directly ahead, at 12 o'clock, enemy trenches, prepare!"

"Received, target locked, load high-explosive fragmentation bomb!"

"Loading complete!"

"boom--"

Another shell blasted down this small section of the trench.

The commander of the Shogunate army at this position was also killed in the explosion.

"Bang~bang~"

Inside the tank, through the thick armor, came the sound of a glass bottle shattering.

Hearing such sounds on the battlefield is undoubtedly a form of mental torture.

"Don't be afraid, it's just an elemental bomb from the other side. It won't hurt us. Just keep doing what you were doing."

The oldest train commander in the crew stepped forward to reassure everyone.

According to the experimental results, those drop-type elemental bombs could at most only obscure their observation and aiming equipment.

"Hey guys, you guys rushed off so fast, not even waiting for us. Isn't that a bit too risky? You've left everyone else behind."

The radio crackled with the sounds of other vehicles.

"No, no, we were just too excited and stepped on the electric switch without noticing. But, nothing happened, right? We even destroyed the barrier and cannon on the other side."

"The standards were set leniently for the first real-world test, otherwise you'd be in for a disciplinary action!"

"Hey~"

For the Kaiji Army, it was just banter among themselves, but for the Shogunate Army, it was a picture of hell.

They were helpless against this steel behemoth, but now, there was more than just one on the other side, with many more peeking out from behind the hillside, and a large number of infantrymen following behind these steel behemoths!

Chapter 170 was even more effective.

If the first tank destroyed the source of their courage, then the main force that followed completely shattered the fighting spirit of these shogunate soldiers without firing a single shot.

With their defenses gone and their commander dead, the remaining Shogunate army was utterly routed when faced with these seemingly indestructible steel behemoths that were utterly unafraid of any attack.

Some turned and ran away, while others stood still and surrendered.

Others hid in the trenches, trembling as they watched the behemoth pass over their heads to chase after those who had turned to flee.

"Hands up! Surrender and you will not be killed! The Haiqi Army treats prisoners of war well!"

The infantry following behind the tanks began clearing out the surrendered prisoners, as well as those in the trenches who were either putting up a stubborn resistance or were terrified.

Hearing the familiar words ring in their ears, many people who were still stunned and hadn't reacted instinctively raised their hands.

Well, the Haiqi Army's policy of treating prisoners of war well has long been known. Surrendering is good; at least they won't die.

The reactions of these shogunate troops left the Umi-gi army, who had come prepared for a major battle, feeling utterly bored.

“I’m telling you, this group is far inferior to the ones we fought at Fujito Fortress before. Even when those shogunate soldiers were being crushed with cold weapons, they fought to the death and refused to retreat. They would struggle to charge forward even after being shot three times. Now look at this bunch.”

In the group, someone was putting "silver bracelets" on the prisoners while complaining to the people around them.

“AW-11, you take over my job and continue receiving prisoners.”

"Instruction received."

A robot nearby began to move.

The latest upgraded robot program is now capable of understanding voice commands.

Although minor bugs occasionally occur, such as the device going west when told to go east or backward when told to move forward, it is still much better than a wired remote.

At this moment, the soldier who had just spoken came to the person next to him.

Next to him was an older veteran.

"Be content. With this level of skill, they managed to hold us off for months thanks to their weapons. If it were the last batch of Shogunate troops, what would have happened?"

"I wish that all my future encounters would be like this, with everything going smoothly and I could finish the war peacefully and go home to be with my wife and children."

For him, fighting was about protecting his wife and children from the oppression of the shogunate officials, so that his family could be reunited and he could return home safely without any trouble.

These two things are not contradictory at all.

They were all battles that were bound to be fought.

"It can only be said that the gap between the shogunate army and the shogunate army is really huge. The group in front of us is probably not even as good as a well-trained sea monster. They are only good because of their advanced equipment."

The first person to speak did not refute the veteran's words, but simply limited the topic to the combat skills of the unit in front of them.

"Don't forget, there are also the ordinary people who are treated as expendable resources."

The news that the shogunate army was conscripting able-bodied men to power facilities like the elemental cannons had already spread throughout Umijima Island.

Most of the large creatures on Umijima Island were refugees who had fled there. Coincidentally, most of the civilians captured by the shogunate army to be used as supplies were also refugees fleeing from their homeland.

This really resonated with everyone on Haiqi Island.

No one can accept the tragic fate of themselves and their families, being used twice and potentially becoming "guinea pigs" for human experiments.

For Jiang Ming and his group, releasing this news, without even needing Coral Palace to confirm it, was enough to gain their support and cohesion by simply spreading it as a rumor.

Most people believe that the people of the shogunate were actually capable of doing such a thing.

This is more effective than their laborious education.

On Bayun Island, the Haizhi Army's attack was not limited to this one place, but rather spread across the entire front.

A total of 12 tanks played a crucial role in the assault.

Most of the shogunate's soldiers would lose their fighting spirit once the barrier disappeared, and even when forced by their superiors, they would only offer symbolic resistance.

With only a few hundred thousand Mora a month, why risk your life like that!

Firing two shots into the air would be enough to honor Lord Fengxing.

The first offensive lasted for fifteen hours, and the Umi-gi army basically cleared out the first line of defense of the shogunate army, advancing about 20 kilometers.

The reason for not continuing the advance, besides the fact that the troops needed to rest, was more importantly that the tanks ran out of power.

We need to wait for the backup vehicle to swap the battery.

Charging is out of the question; with such a large battery, it would take forever to charge.

It was during this time that the shogunate army was able to catch its breath and begin to reorganize.

At the same time, they reported the situation at the front and inquired about how to deal with the enemy.

But how could those who follow the will of Heaven understand this?

The message requesting support and being attacked by the Sea Spirit Army with new equipment was sent from Hachiyun Island, made a trip to Kujo Jinya and Tenryo Magistrate's Office, and then returned to the Fool Clan's military factory on Hachiyun Island—also known as the Evil Eye Factory.

The situation was immediately reported to the PhD student.
