Chapter 894 Armored Train
The area under Zhang Tuohai's control is constantly expanding. Of course, his expansion is not blind and disorderly, but has a purpose.
After performing the simulation on this map thousands of times, Zhang Tuohai knew all the resource points and events on this map by heart, perhaps even more familiar with them than Ulysses.
Therefore, Zhang Tuohai's first round of expansion was directed towards the coal mines and iron mines that he urgently needed.
For the convenience of transportation, several simple railways were also extended along the way. Zhang Tuohai's base was like an octopus, extending its tentacles towards nearby important resource mines. Then, with these resource mines as the core, it continued to extend towards the surrounding mines, eventually dividing the entire area into grids, creating actual control over the entire area.
Zhang Tuohai rode in a command vehicle to inspect each mining area.
"The defense of these mining areas must be strengthened tenfold. These places are to be used as nodes in the network. They are the most critical places and are also places that are prone to enemy attacks. Therefore, the defense must be complete and must be built like a hedgehog to make the enemy pay the heaviest price!"
Zhang Tuohai instructed.
According to his standards, all the mining sites were built like fortresses, with a lot of resources invested. The trenches and bunkers crisscrossed and became a land of death.
Although Zhang Tuohai has invested a lot of resources in these mining areas, his development speed has not stopped, but has become faster and faster.
With the increase in the number of mining fulcrums, the advantages of multi-point development became apparent. The speed of development and expansion grew like a snowball, and the controlled area also grew at an exponential rate. After just one day of development, Zhang Tuohai's territory border occupied the entire grassland, and several tentacles penetrated deep into the forest, occupying several iron-rich mines.
Night fell, and the routine beast tide began again.
This time, the beast tide was stunned as soon as it rushed out of the woods.
The originally vast grassland disappeared, replaced by railways, trenches, anti-tank trenches, barbed wire, chevaux de frise and machine gun bunkers.
The dense obstacles are so dense that even tanks may not be able to break through them, let alone them.
Physiologically, they resist, but there is always a voice inside them urging them to move forward.
“Can this really be rushed through?”
Many beasts began to have doubts and were stuck in a dilemma.
But soon, they no longer needed to choose, as the machine gun bunker had already discovered them and pulled the trigger.
Tracer bullets drew shining arcs of death in the dark night sky. As the arcs moved, groups of animals fell to the ground and turned into food for the refugees.
Zhang Tuohai felt that night was more relaxed than before, and he hardly even heard any gunshots.
The next morning, Ulysses looked at the 30,000 skeleton soldiers he had accumulated overnight and nodded with satisfaction.
For the sake of these skeleton soldiers, he pulled out all the people he could and made them into skeleton soldiers. Among them there were also a large number of defective products made of animal bones. However, Ulysses was still full of confidence. He did not believe that anyone could withstand the impact of the sea of skeletons at this stage.
"Let me see what else you can do!"
Ulysses stood on the carriage and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
Skeleton soldiers all over the mountains rushed towards Zhang Tuohai's camp like a tide.
Then, as soon as he rushed out of the forest, Ulysses was stunned.
Two steam-belching armored trains slowly drove over, with more than 20 carriages attached to the back of the trains. Thick steel plates were hung on the outside of the carriages. There were at least six machine guns and a howitzer on each carriage, and there were even six flaming stone sculptures hung outside.
“Fuck!”
Ulysses cursed angrily.
Before he could finish his words, a high-explosive grenade hit his carriage directly.
Boom!
Although he himself would not be hurt by this attack and there was no weapon in the world that could truly harm him, the same could not be said for the carriage he was riding in.
The carriage was blown to pieces.
There was a lot of mud splashed on his body, making him look very disheveled.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of various machine guns and artillery rang out, and the skeletons all over the mountains were attacked.
Although skeletons are very tenacious undead creatures and their impact area is smaller than that of normal creatures due to their body size, they cannot withstand this saturation attack. In addition, the flames ejected by the flaming stone sculptures caused a forest fire. The raging flames swept towards the skeletons, and some skeletons that moved more slowly or were surrounded by flames were quickly burned to ashes.
"Madfak!" Ulysses angrily punched the big tree next to him, and the tree, which was as thick as a waist, was broken directly.
"withdraw!"
Ulysses and his skeleton soldiers retreated rapidly.
Skeleton soldiers all over the mountains were running back in a huge crowd.
When it was time to evacuate the fire area, Ulysses counted and found that only 20,000 of his 30,000 skeleton soldiers were left.
Without even seeing the opponent, one third of his troops were lost. Ulysses had never suffered such a heavy loss since he became famous, especially since this was in his kingdom of God, the chessboard world he was familiar with.
This made it even more difficult for him to accept.
For the first time, he wanted to overturn the table and stop playing.
However, when I thought about how I was defeated in the field I was best at, I felt angry.
If he doesn't get back at square one, he'll be feeling depressed.
"Just wait, I will flatten your camp sooner or later!"
Ulysses stared at the direction of Zhang Tuohai's camp.
My teeth are almost broken.
" You've developed rails and armored vehicles so quickly. I underestimated you. But do you think you can defeat me just like that? I'll show you my true strength!"
Ulysses climbed up to a hidden hilltop and in a hidden cave, he found twelve giant pangolins more than three meters long. These pangolins were good at digging and were best at digging holes.
"Go, go and dig up the railway at the edge of the forest. Dig up all the railways for me. I'll see how he can use his steam armored vehicle!"
Ulysses' eyes glowed red.
He also knew the weakness of armored vehicles, which was that they needed to rely on rails for movement. Otherwise, no matter how powerful their firepower was, they could only be used as fixed turrets. As long as the rails were dug up, the power of those damn armored trains would be reduced by 90%.
Hiss—hiss—
The huge pangolins began to dig holes in the ground with their tongues spitting out their tongues, digging towards the direction of the railway tracks.
