Daming Military Empire

Chapter 599 Debut of Armored Chariot
The Dingliao Army is in charge of guarding the land warfare training base in the northwest of the capital at the moment, and they are also in charge of controlling the armored combat vehicles used for the test. Knowing that Lu Xiangsheng is coming today, Qin Gongming has brought people to wait there up.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng coming with a large group of generals on horseback, Qin Gongming hurriedly went up to salute and said, "The last general will join Marshal Lu, Vice Marshal Cao, and Vice Marshal Sun."

Lu Xiang returned with a salute and praised: "Gongming, you came so early."

Hearing this, Qin Gongming pointed to the bastion in the distance with embarrassment and said, "Wei Jiang slept in that bastion last night, and it's only a few steps away from here."

Lu Xiangsheng followed the direction of his finger and took a look. About four miles away, a bastion was built against the mountain, and a row of houses could be seen faintly on both sides, but there was nothing else.

He looked around again, Qin Gongming's side was well prepared, there were 1 horses lined up neatly behind him, all kinds of artillery were already in place, and he assumed a majestic posture to attack the bastion.

But what about armored combat vehicles?He didn't come to review the Dingliao army today!
After searching around, but found no trace of the armored combat vehicle, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help wondering: "Gong Ming, haven't the armored combat vehicles arrived yet?"

Hearing this, Qin Gongming quickly pointed to the houses in the distance and said, "The armored tank is right there. This armored tank is like a cannon. It is easy to rust if it is left outside for a long time. Besides, adding water and coal is not a problem. It is very convenient, so the general ordered people to build two rows of houses."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help reaching out to take the binoculars from the guard, and looked at the two rows of houses.

He originally thought it was a military camp, but after a long time, it was not like that at all. The two rows of houses didn't even have doors, and the side facing the middle was just like a passage. Only the walls on both sides could be seen, and there was nothing in the middle. No.

At this time, there was a standard bearer standing outside each house, but he couldn't see anything inside the house from his angle, so he couldn't help asking a little eagerly: "Can the armored vehicles be driven out now? Shall we go and have a look?"

Qin Gongming replied confidently: "Please wait a moment, Commander. They are boiling water and steam inside, and they will be driving out soon."

After a while, a commander holding a binoculars behind Qin Gongming said loudly: "General Qi, all armored vehicles are ready."

Qin Gongming heard the words and immediately ordered: "Let them bring all the armored vehicles over and line up in two rows in front of the artillery formation."

The commander said he obeyed, and then began to issue a series of instructions to the standard bearer behind, who immediately waved the command flag in his hand.

Soon, there was a faint roar in front of him, and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help raising his binoculars to look forward, and he was shocked again.

What a big guy, the armored chariot driven out on the left is a full two feet square, the one on the right can be smaller, only about one foot wide, but the two huge pickaxes in front of him are like crab claws, the big ones scary!

And what is the round tube protruding from the large armored tank? Could it be a cannon?He couldn't help pointing to the armored combat vehicle on the left and asked, "Is there a cannon on it?"

Qin Yiming heard the words, nodded quickly and said: "Back to the commander, yes, there is a cannon on it. In order to reduce the weight, the Ministry of Industry specially developed a high-strength alloy. The thickness of the barrel is less than half of that of ordinary cannons, but its strength There is no problem at all, the general has been tested many times, and there has never been a case of bombing."

At this time, a row of generals behind Lu Xiangsheng was also watching through binoculars. The scene was simply too spectacular. There were ten armored chariots on the left and right, spraying white smoke and driving towards this side. The posture was like a group of people with teeth and claws. Like a steel behemoth, it makes people tremble.

After watching for a while, Lu Xiangsheng found a problem. The speed of this armored chariot is too slow. Ordinary people can run faster than it.

He couldn't help wondering: "Gongming, can this armored vehicle drive faster?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Gongming said in embarrassment: "Back to Commander, this is already the fastest speed."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, and said regretfully, "This speed is a bit too slow for field battles, but it's no problem for attacking cities."

Although everyone was only three or four miles away from the bastion, with the speed of the armored tank, they might not be able to drive within two quarters of an hour. Lu Xiangsheng was not in a hurry, and he could take these two quarters of an hour to take a closer look at the armor. Regarding the various performances of the chariot, if it stops in place, there are many things that cannot be seen.

Just as everyone was watching carefully with binoculars, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves behind them, and a scout from the Ding Liao army galloped over. Not far from Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Gongming, the scout immediately Reining in the horse, he immediately got off the horse, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Marshal Lu, General Qin, Song Yingxing and Master Song are here."

Song Yingxing, why is he here? Does he also want to see armored vehicles?

Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Gongming raised their binoculars and looked behind them at the same time. The person who came was indeed Song Yingxing, but he did not come alone. He was followed by more than ten Jinyiwei horses. What was even more strange was that he They came in a flatbed carriage, and there seemed to be a lot of things on the carriage!
What does this mean?Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Gongming looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Song Yingxing seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, he was beating the horse that was pulling the cart non-stop, and soon he came to the front of the army formation.

Lu Xiangsheng winked, and Qin Gongming hurriedly went up to him and clapped his hands: "Master Song, who is this?"

Song Yingxing saw the ground, so he reined in the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Marshal Lu, General Qin, I'm late."

What does it mean to be late, isn't it still early?The armored fighting vehicle just came out!
Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Gongming didn't understand even more. What Song Yingxing said next was even more inexplicable. He actually asked Qin Gongming: "General Qin, is there a wire here?"

Qin Gongming was beaten very hard this time, he asked inexplicably: "Electric wire? Telegraph wire or lamp wire?"

Song Yingxing thought for a while, and gestured: "Light lines, the kind that still have electricity."

Hearing this, Qin Gongming said in a rather embarrassing way: "It's not here, but it is in the front fortress. Do you want to use it now?"

Song Yingxing nodded straightforwardly and said, "Yes, I need to use it now."

Hearing this, Qin Gongming asked Lu Xiangsheng for his opinion with his eyes. After receiving a positive answer, he immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Come on, go to the front bastion and pull the secondary wire. After pulling it, turn it on."

Following his order, a personal guard immediately rode his horse and ran towards the bastion. It looked like he was going to pull the wires.

What does Song Yingxing want to do?All the generals were dissatisfied with their confusion. If this guy hadn't been a big hit in front of the emperor, Lu Xiangsheng would have been kicked out a long time ago!
