attack city

"Have you ever heard about Iron King City in the nearby area?" He Qingqing asked again after explaining how to cross the plateau.

"Of course I know, it is also a new human city."

Regarding Iron King City, Xiang Yang in his previous life heard about it at the Xishan Mine and the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground. There was a lot of talk in the New Human City, but in fact there was not much effective information, and most of it was repetitive.

There seems to be no specific place to stay in Tie Wang City, which is in line with Tieshan's personality. He just acts like a guerrilla, running around everywhere.

In the early stage, it relied on hunting new human cities to make a fortune, but in the middle and late stages, it started to plunder every city.

But I have never been to Xishan Mine, Crocodile Valley Trading Ground, or Mohe Trading Ground. However, I have seen it near Shahu Trading Ground, and the news came from there.

In this life, I had only heard of it from the person involved, Qian Youliang.

However, as expected, there should be news about Iron King City during this trip to the Xishan Mine, because many cities in the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground will go to the Xishan Mine.

"Did it appear at the Shahu Trading Ground nearby?" He Qingqing asked.

"I don't know." Xiang Yang couldn't explain the memory of his previous life. Although he did, others wouldn't ask more questions, but he didn't mention it for safety reasons.

In fact, it was three years later that I learned this news in my previous life.

It has only been more than two years, so he has no way of knowing whether Iron King City has appeared in the Shahu Trading Ground at this point in time.

It's not easy to talk about things that you can't be sure of.

"But there is a victim in our city, and it's a matter in Novice Continent." Xiang Yang said.

"Two years ago, they were operating near the Black Ridge Trading Ground. Many of the cities we came to from Terra were in their hands, and most of them have not yet entered the second stage." He Qingqing said.

It should be said that in the early days of Iron King City, the area near the Black Ridge Trading Ground was the area that was robbed the most by them.

These, including the Black Ridge Trading Ground, were heard by Xiang Yang in his previous life, and they came from these deeds about the Iron King City. Therefore, the new humans of Terra who had been active there hated the Iron King City quite a bit.

"Then, they went to work near the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground, attacked our city on Terra again, and began to specifically rob the city in the second phase."

The Jianyu Bay Trading Ground is located on the coast of the U-shaped concave area of ​​the plateau, and is established near the downstream outlet of the Jianyu River.

The Jianyu River originates from the plateau and runs east-west. The area it flows through is basically the middle of the U-shaped concave area of ​​the plateau. Like a winding line, it divides the U-shaped concave area into two almost equal halves.

"Their city lord is named Tieshan. He has committed a lot of crimes in Terra and is also a famous wanted criminal."

He Qingqing said: "In this disaster, all mankind has entered the wasteland world, and it seems that Tieshan is like a fish in water. Such people are habitual criminals and are definitely a scourge, so we plan to hunt them down."

"Are you hunting Iron King City?"

Xiang Yang didn't know that Tieshan was a famous wanted criminal in Terra, but he was surprised that Jade Bird City specifically went to hunt Iron King City.

With the way Iron King City operates, it will be difficult to hunt them down.

Because normal cities still need to operate and increase their scale, and it is difficult to supply supplies in uninhabited places, they basically rely on trading activities.

If it was a bandit city that often operated near a certain trading ground, of course anyone would hunt them down if they had the chance.

But he doesn't have time to run around the world all day long, and he spends all day wandering around in the wild, chasing down a city.

This is probably the reason why Iron King City is moving around. Tieshan discovered the activity patterns and news dissemination patterns of the city here, so he took advantage of his own aerial city and kept moving.

Although it is very difficult to survive in the wild all the time, it is even more difficult when you have to move around and often go to places you are not familiar with.

But Tieshan still adopted this strategy.

Perhaps in the early days when they were not so famous, they would still stay in a certain trading venue, because in the wasteland world, the spread of news sometimes lags very seriously.

"Yes, we are tracking Tiewang City. We heard that they crossed the plateau, so we also chased them." He Qingqing said: "But we don't think Tieshan will go to the Liuli Trading Ground."

"That's a city-level trading place over there. I heard that it has controlled the mineral veins and is recruiting cities to help defend it. The cities inside are turning around very frequently."

The number of cities stationed in Liuli Trading Ground at the same time is much less than other cities, but as He Qingqing said, the number of cities passing through it is no less than any trading ground.

It’s not just a matter of assisting in the defense of many cities that only work for a period of time and then leave, and there are a lot of people coming and going.

There are also many cities that pass through there as a temporary resting point or for trading. These cities will not stay for too long, and they will basically leave after the free period.

Not only is any city you pass through free of charge for one day, Liulic City also stipulates that cities that come to trade grain, vegetables and other daily necessities have a free period of at least half a month, and can use water for free.

"They must know about Iron King City, and Tieshan must be seeking death by going there." He Qingqing explained.

But Xiang Yang had never heard of Iron King City in the Liuli Trading Ground. Maybe Liuli City knew about it, but they didn't think that any bandit city would dare to go to their territory, so they didn't mention it.

In fact, Xiang Yang did not hear any news about bandit city activities at Liuli Trading Place.

"So, we are going to check out other trading venues nearby." He Qingqing said.

"Teacher He, you didn't go after Iron King City specifically to seek justice, did you?" Based on Xiang Yang's understanding of He Qingqing, he didn't think so.

In fact, outsiders only saw the external side of He Qingqing.

"Ah, you guessed it, my little Yang Yang is indeed the smartest." He Qingqing said: "Although I really like to uphold justice, the wasteland world is so desolate, running in the wild is too uncomfortable.

.”

Xiang Yang was a little speechless.

He Qingqing continued: "Because Iron King City possesses Terra's most advanced missile technology, Iron Mountain should have gained Terra's missile technology experts, although remote guidance technology is useless here."

This is easy to explain. Here, cities cannot launch physical satellites into space.

Although almost everyone feels that the world they live in must be a planet, no one is sure whether the wasteland world is really a planet floating in space.

Because at least I haven't heard of it yet, there is a city that can circle the wasteland world and return to the starting point.

Not to mention leaving the atmosphere and entering space.

This is actually a bit weird.

Xiang Yang doesn't think this is a problem with their knowledge, because some things are scientific common sense. Once proven, they will inevitably spread and become common knowledge within such a long time.

In short, many parts of the wasteland world are a mystery, including the city itself and the continent.

"Because the application of Terra's technology here is not comprehensive."

"But we can confirm that their rocket launcher technology and tracking missile technology all have shadows of Terra missile technology."

He Qingqing said firmly.

"There are missiles!?" Xiang Yang was also interested now. He had never heard of the types of weapons owned by Iron King City.

Of course, a rocket launcher is not a missile. A rocket launcher has a launcher, and the launcher is similar to a gun barrel and has rifling. However, after it is launched, it can also use its own fuel or energy to fly a certain distance.

Missiles are different, they fly directly to attack the target.

This is an urban combat weapon for the third-stage city. It will be produced by the second-stage city and cannot be recognized and evolved.

Of course, self-made missiles cannot compare with urban combat weapons, but as a second-stage city, having this is already awesome.

What's more, they also developed tracking missiles.

"So, you plan to hunt Iron King City and obtain their technology." Xiang Yang said.

"That's for sure."

He Qingqing said: "Our rocket launcher technology comes from urban-level cities, and we help them do things as a reward."

"But we can only make simple rockets, and rely on the evolution of city upgrades to obtain urban combat weapons."

"The prototype bomb I made for evolution cannot produce much combat effectiveness. It has about the same effect as that kind of earth cannon."

"Because others will not provide core technology, they can only shoot out the rockets, fly a short distance, and then explode to the extent that they are recognized by the city system."

He Qingqing said: "We can't even control the accuracy because we can't make the rifling of the barrel, so it can't be used in actual combat at all."

Xiang Yang can understand this, because the Lord of Liuli City has also made a promise to Xiang Yang that he can provide rocket launchers and aerial bomb technology for upgrading and evolution in the future.

This is the advantage of helping with defense.

Aerial bombs don't matter, they are just larger bombs with a mechanism for bomb delivery.

Rocket launchers are the key, and this is also the main way for many aerial cities to obtain rocket launchers, but only to the extent that they can be recognized by the city system, and the core technology will not be provided.

But Shenlong City has weapons manufacturing capabilities, and they can definitely handle things like rifling. The rifling of a rocket launcher barrel is not much different from that of a cannon.

The rifling is the spiral line inside the gun barrel or barrel. After the bullet or shell passes through these spiral lines and is fired, it will rotate to achieve ballistic stability.

When early muskets had no rifling, accuracy could not be guaranteed. The projectiles would fly randomly after exiting the barrel. The ballistics were diffuse and there was no way to predict the ballistics. Each time they flew out, they would be different.

Therefore, at that time, dense gun formations were used, and a large number of firearms attacked an area at the same time, using quantity to make up for accuracy.

It was not until the advent of rifling that the accuracy of muskets was significantly improved, front-loading ammunition was abolished, and breech-loading muskets began to be used.

Then, the tactic of queuing to shoot was abolished, because in the face of rifled firearms, if one hit is accurate, it really becomes a queuing to shoot.

The rifling of a cannon's barrel is similar to that of a firearm.

Therefore, there is no problem with the rifling, but it has not yet been determined whether other parts can be solved. It will definitely take time to form combat capabilities, but it can still be tried hard.

Xiang Yang promised Guihua City to assist in the defense. This was also one of the goals, at least to get the technology to a level that could be evolved.

"This is indeed a method." Xiang Yang muttered.

For aerial cities, related weapons technology is very important. Naturally, no one is satisfied with being recognized by the city system. Making a few more rocket launchers or missiles will always be of great use.

"We know that Iron King City is now at the county level."

He Qingqing said: "But it is still difficult to track them, so we plan to track them for another two months. If it doesn't work, we will leave first and talk about it later."

It only takes such a short time, and it is already at the county level, which is quite fast. Only the bandit city can easily do it, while other cities require a bit of luck and hard work.

But there is still no way to get along as fast as the cities following the third phase.

Of course, it is true that the risk of assisting in defense is high, much greater than the risk of being a bandit city, but as long as you survive, both the upgrade speed and combat effectiveness will be significantly improved.

After all, this is a job that often involves bloody battles.

Some time ago, two of the assisting defense cities that followed Liulicheng also lost, and no one survived, including the people from Liulicheng in the mine tunnel.

Because the entire mine tunnel was collapsed by the energy giant.

The mine tunnel was also temporarily closed.

The only city that survived escaped in embarrassment, and eventually left. Maybe not coming back, or maybe taking a break and returning after a while.

"It is indeed difficult to track cities in the sky." Xiang Yang also acknowledged this.

Sky cities are all about flexible movement. Once you understand the surrounding crisis distribution points, you can escape in the fastest time and the safest route.

"But the most difficult thing is still whether we can catch up after catching up. No one knows whether Iron King City will still be at the county level." Xiang Yang continued.

"Even at the county level, it is difficult to deal with them. After all, the fighting power and methods of bandit cities are not comparable to those of ordinary cities. It is not uncommon for snakes to swallow elephants."

"Does Teacher He have weapons for fighting in the city?" Xiang Yang reminded: "If we are attacked into the city during the battle, it will be very troublesome."

"Yes, we have more than fifty rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition." He Qingqing and the others had also specially prepared it. After all, they were dealing with a city of bandits.

"These are not enough, there is not enough ammunition for training, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed."

Xiang Yang said: "Have you ever thought about starting a weapons business? We are a super wholesaler. We already have distributors in Mohe. The place where you often go can also help with distribution."

"Ah, you are in the weapons business?" He Qingqing seemed a little surprised.

"Yes."

Xiang Yang plans to develop Jade Bird City as his distributor. Relatively speaking, He Qingqing is a very safe choice. "But since we are working with Liulic City, we don't have enough time for weapons sales, so we have to rely on the distribution network."

There are also weapons for sale in Liulicheng, but they are not as powerful as those in Shenlong City. They only have rifles, and their performance is not as high as the Cheetah Rifle and Eagle Rifle.

They will probably also make artillery, because they know how to make rocket launchers.

As for the technical level, I don’t know. Anyway, the rocket launcher can be recognized by the city system and evolve.

Xiang Yang did not want to sell weapons in the Liuli Trading Ground, and he had no intention of competing with Liuli City, so they did not sell weapons there.

The purpose of returning this time was to find Gujiacheng to deliver goods, because with Gujiacheng's strength, it was not practical to go to Liuli Trading Ground.
