Chapter 1707: Pursuit
At this moment, on the other side of Europe.
After Li Hongtian reached an agreement on cooperation with Austria, Longyan soon received the news.
Longyan's supply ships immediately arrived in Austria, carrying equipment and technical personnel for building the railway.
This cooperation with Austria was of extremely important strategic significance for Longyan.
With this railway line, the deployment of troops by Longyan on the European continent would be much simpler and faster.
And for Austria, this was an opportunity for their development.
They could gain access to more advanced Longyan technology; after all, they had never seen this kind of Steam Engine that could travel on land before.
In this cooperation, both countries could obtain extraordinary benefits.
And at this time, Liu Zheng, who was planning all of this.
Was still on Halei Mountain in Saxony, watching experiment after experiment of the glider with Wang Congyang.
Liu Zheng had once made a Glider, but there was a fundamental difference between a glider and a Glider.
The construction of a glider was more complex than a Glider, and the glider being built this time needed to have stronger stability.
The purpose of these gliders was not to carry people in flight, but to crash into the heavy industrial zone of Saxony.
Based on Liu Zheng's blueprints, Wang Congyang soon manufactured a model.
This glider was constructed from bamboo and used military tents as wings; Liu Zheng nodded as he looked at the manufactured glider.
"It looks like something, Wang Congyang, have you not tested the stability of this glider?"
Wang Congyang said: "I haven't had time to test it yet."
"Very well, let's start now."
After receiving the order, Wang Congyang commanded the Longyan Soldiers to push this massive glider, pushing it toward the cliff.
With a Boom—, the massive First Machine was pushed off the precipice.
The First Glider flew in the air amidst the anxious gazes of everyone.
A look of joy appeared on Wang Congyang's face; seeing such a successful experiment, he was very excited.
This meant their experiment was a success, but before he could be too happy, the massive First Machine disintegrated after a tremor in the air!
The scattered parts fell heavily, declaring this experiment a failure.
"Flight time three seconds, reason for failure: mid-air disintegration."
The person recording the experiment said while noting it down.
Wang Congyang's expression froze, not expecting such a result.
Liu Zheng patted his shoulder and said: "Think of another Method; after all, failure is the mother of success."
Wang Congyang nodded; this experimental failure did not make him feel discouraged.
Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said again: "If we switch to a mortise and tenon structure, could it strengthen the stability of the structure?"
A gleam appeared in Wang Congyang's eyes, but after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't suitable. He said: "If we use a mortise and tenon structure, then we can't use bamboo; we have to use wood."
"In that case, it will be hard to guarantee the weight."
"Then try making the wood smaller and use cloth to increase the stability of the structure."
Wang Congyang thought about it and decided to try doing as Liu Zheng said.
Wang Congyang immediately prepared for the second manufacturing attempt.
And at this time, on the other side of Europe.
The Chief of Staff led a team of Longyan Soldiers in the dark of night, using mud to build scattered walls to block the attack of the Crusaders Cavalry.
In the breeze, it was bone-chillingly cold.
The Chief of Staff was shivering from the cold, but he endured the chill to finish building these walls.
By the next day, Ling Chen led the Longyan Soldiers to attack once more.
This time, the Crusaders did not stay behind closed gates; instead, they took the initiative to attack, pursuing Ling Chen's troops.
The Longyan Soldiers retreated decisively after launching their attack and did not linger in battle.
The Crusaders dispatched a cavalry unit, but because they were heavy armored cavalry, their marching speed was slower; coupled with the Longyan Soldiers' preemptive strike, the Crusaders did not wipe out the Longyan Soldiers immediately.
However, they did not pay much attention to it.
The Crusaders' cavalry were armored cavalry; when these Heavy Cavalry charged, there was very little that could stop them.
But this time, they met their match.
As they pursued, they suddenly discovered that these Longyan Soldiers had all hidden behind the walls.
These mud walls were not built on flat plains, but relied on the advantages of the Geography to build wall structures specifically targeting the Crusaders' Heavy Cavalry.
But the Crusaders did not take these walls seriously at all.
In their view, these were just a pile of dirt clods that could not stop their charge.
"Stupid Longyan, actually attempting to hide behind these dirt clods to block our attack."
The Crusaders immediately drew their iron chains, moving in teams of two, and launched their charge.
In their view, these dirt clods were simply fragile; they only needed to launch a charge to smash all these dirt clods, and then these Longyan Soldiers would be at their mercy.
The Crusaders Heavy Cavalry launched their charge, and the momentum looked unstoppable!
The Longyan Soldiers were calm and collected; what they held in their hands were Long Spears of various shapes.
Because they were behind enemy lines and lacked support, they had changed the weapons in their hands several times since the war began.
They had long since run out of the original Longyan Equipment.
The Crusaders had even mocked the Longyan Soldiers, believing that the Longyan Soldiers were only powerful because they possessed extremely powerful Weaponry and Equipment.
But now, the Longyan Soldiers were using their equipment, which caused many Crusaders to mock them.
They believed that the Dragon Flame Army led by Ling Chen was simply vulnerable to a single blow.
Soon, under the fierce charge of the Holy Cross Army's Heavy Cavalry, the iron chains struck the earthen wall, emitting a heavy, muffled sound.
However, these walls were strangely not damaged at all.
In fact, it was quite the opposite; the two soldiers pulling the iron chains were instead sent flying by the immense force of the impact.
Upon hearing the muffled sound, the Dragon Flame Army, holding their Long Spears, immediately charged out to finish off those Holy Cross Army soldiers who had been knocked to the ground by the recoil.
Before the Holy Cross Army's Cavalry could react, many of them were killed by the Dragon Flame Army.
The captain of the Holy Cross Army's Cavalry saw this scene and was instantly stunned, completely unable to understand why such a one-sided situation had occurred.
At this moment, the Dragon Flame Army had revealed themselves, which was still a good opportunity for them.
The Holy Cross Army captain ordered: "Continue the attack, absolutely do not let these Dragon Flame Army soldiers go!"
Just at this moment, Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of gunshots rang out; these were the Lingcheng troops.
At such a close distance, the accuracy of the Muskets was exceptionally high, and their lethality was immense.
Under this wave of attacks from the Dragon Flame Army's Musket Team, the Holy Cross Army's Cavalry met their defeat here.
The remaining Crusaders saw this and immediately turned around to flee. As they ran, they shouted: "It's an ambush!"
After this battle, the Dragon Flame Army captured thirty War Horses from the Holy Cross Army, enough for the Dragon Flame Army to form a Cavalry unit. The recent transcoding is severe; to give us more motivation to update faster, please use your little hands to exit reading mode. Thank you.
