Chapter 338: Synthetic Army First Battle

6 min read1,471 words

Although Xia Fan used a prototype to participate in battles during the

invasion of Dongsheng Kingdom, the organ beast at that time was essentially a

carrier that could only move slowly, which was completely different from the

current Xuanwu A-type.

The officially produced organ beast is the product of the combination of

Tiandongyi, tree spirit seed and mechanical technology. The planetarium gave

it surging power, and the golden vines cultivated by the elves made this power

delicate and controllable. The two together constitute the most critical part

of the organ beast-the movement joints, which is also the biggest improvement

of the mass production machine over the prototype machine.

In addition, the Basalt Armor is wrapped in pig iron on the main body, and the

driver's seat has a huge movable baffle to protect the operator. It's just

that Ning Wanjun didn't quite understand why Xia Fan had to make this baffle

into a cone shape, so that it looked like a half-fish head when it was put

down.

As for the Suzaku specially built for her, it is even more exaggerated. There

is a long iron piece on the top of the fish head, which looks like a sharp

horn from a distance. He can't expect to hit the enemy with this thing, right?

But aside from practicality, Ning Wanjun was surprised to feel that the fish's

long horns were pretty...

Of course, the characteristics of Suzaku are far more than that. For example,

it has twice the number of heavenly movement devices than the Basalt A-type,

and is equipped with hand-shaped forelimbs and golden vine soft armor that are

not available in the A-type. The whole body of the organ beast was painted in

bright crimson red, reflecting Ning Wanjun's family of Lihuo.

I have to say that when she saw Suzaku at the first glance, she fell in love

with this war machine.

"Your Highness, they noticed us."

The maid on her right reminded loudly-after more than half a month of

training, Qiuyue now has the ability to smoothly control the organ beast.

In fact, the key to restricting the large-scale use of organ beasts is not Mo

Yun's new mechanism, but that the army lacks enough aspirants. Apart from her

and Qiuyue, the remaining three have to be transferred from the Privy Council

for the five organ beasts that have been put into actual combat. One of them

is a new alchemist and the other two are elves.

"The enemy has a crossbow—they are winding up!" On the other side, the sharp-

eyed Ai Li also issued a warning. This is the first time that she has fought

side by side with humans, and a little sweat has appeared in her palms.

"Don't panic, keep the formation unchanged and move on." Ning Wanjun ordered

calmly.

As a general, she clearly knows the lethal effects of various weapons on the

battlefield. At this distance, only the giant bed crossbow can threaten the

team.

As soon as the enemy saw their figure, they began to lay their strings and

shoot arrows, essentially exposing the weakness of the lack of combat

experience.

After about a quarter of an hour, the distance between the two sides has been

pulled into three hundred steps. For siege warfare, this seems to be a

dangerous distance. Bows and arrows still can't reach them, but large-scale

crossbows that rely on tools to wind, wooden trestle and some alchemy have

been able to work.

"All stop! The Xuanwu A-type unfolds on the spot, covering long-range

strikes!" Ning Wanjun gave a second order.

At this moment, the enemy's crossbow loosened the bowstring.

The iron-headed crossbow that was nearly arm long buzzed out of the arrow slot

and shot in the direction of the troops.

At the same time, the enemy on the wall couldn't help but join the blockade,

and there were many hairy "black lines" in the gray sky.

Ai Li and others have rehearsed this scene many times.

She ignored the trajectory of the enemy's crossbow bolt, bent over and sat

down fiercely. The nearly two-person tall behemoth spread its legs back and

forth, and its body sank into the snow.

Then she controlled Xuanwu to spread the two wings of the shield, which was

equivalent to erecting a square shield on her left and right. The soldiers at

the back quickly approached and gathered behind Xuanwu.

After the execution of this instruction, the enemy's Iron Arrow also flew into

the team. Most of the twenty-odd crossbow arrows were shot in the air, only

two or three were stuck on the organ beast.

Ai Li heard a muffled sound from above her head!

But nothing strange happened next, and she couldn't even see any deformation

of the upper guard plate.

As for the arrows fired by the hand crossbow, they had been skewed by the cold

wind on the way.

Ai Li put her hand on another heavenly movement instrument, and the rack

behind Xuanwu fell to the ground.

What's inside is the artillery captured from the warship of Dongsheng Kingdom.

And a basalt type A can carry two artillery and corresponding ammunition at

the same time.

——This is not only the first time that the organ beast has been on the stage

of war, but also the first actual combat of the Jinxia Artillery Corps.

The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time got busy immediately. They

pushed the artillery into the snow, adjusted the firing angle, loaded

gunpowder and hammer shots, and every operation was in order.

At this time, the enemy first shot the second wave of crossbow arrows.

But apart from the fact that the accuracy of the head was slightly improved

from the previous round, the defenders still had nothing to do with the organ

beast. In the past, when an iron arrow, which was stuck in a blood hole and

could not even be defended by armor, fell on the basalt armor piece, at most

it could only erase a string of sparks, and it was difficult to leave even a

depression.

"Second group, filling is complete!"

Ai Li heard someone yelling behind her.

She used her feet to control the shield to retract, while bending her long

pointed ears.

When the muzzle was fully exposed, the gunner lit the gunpowder!

Only a loud bang was heard, and the snow in front of the elf suddenly turned

into a large cloud of snow mist. In a flash of fire, two metal spheres locked

together by chains came out of their mouths, spinning. Smashed towards the

north gate of Baisha City——

...

After discovering that the two rounds of shooting had no effect, Zhang Zhubu's

heart had already filled with strong anxiety.

It's so weird, what the other party showed is so weird! He had never seen

anything like that, and he didn't know what Jinxia's idea was in his heart.

At this moment, the five giant beasts, four black and one red, stood still in

place, just like reefs exposed in the white snow sea. The iron-headed arrows

shot by the machine crossbow seemed to sink into the sea in front of them, and

even a piece of water was difficult to splash.

——In other words, they are harder than reefs.

Through the dim reflections on their bodies, Master Zhang realized that these

things also have "armor", and the thickness of their protection is much

greater than that of ordinary armor.

Fortunately, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ They seem to be used only as shields. The real

main attacker should still be the soldier hiding behind the black behemoth.

The number of these people does not exceed one hundred, even if there are

mobile shelters to provide protection, they will eventually reveal flaws when

they are close to the city wall.

However, as soon as this thought came out, the master book saw eight black

barrels sticking out behind the giant beast.

Then came the roar of the countryside!

That is-artillery?

Zhang, who had seen this weapon in the Shenzhou garrison, had not had time to

shout and bow his head. A few shells had already whizzed over the city wall

and landed in Baisha City!

One of the shots happened to hit within ten steps of the main book's side-the

too low flying height caused it to be stopped by the top of the city wall, but

it had more serious consequences. The thin brick wall shattered in an instant,

blurring the faces of private soldiers looking around. The two iron ** are

like guillotines, pulling each other across the wall. Anyone who touched them

was chained down before they even made a scream, and the recruits in their

heads were instantly unrecognizable!

When Zhang Zhubu recovered, half of his cheek had been splashed with blood

from the dead and wounded.
