Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1477 Orbital Strike
The Lianshan's optical aiming directly locked onto the Irodeasha moving on the ground, and after determining the route, the ambush was set up ahead.

"Based on preliminary observation, this is a team of about 400 elven cavalrymen." Han Xingzhi counted the number of people who sent him the picture.

Time is running out. Since the Lianshan entered the battle not in a synchronous orbit of 3.6 kilometers, but in a low-Earth orbit of 400 kilometers, at this speed, the Lianshan will pass through the entire sky at a very fast speed relative to the ground. This time relative to the ground can be called the "overhead time", and its accurate data is about 5 minutes.

Of course, this does not mean that the action of completing the orbital space and killing Elodeasha within 5 minutes - this action needs to be divided into two times. One airborne and one bombing. Lianshan will complete the battle within 5 minutes of two overhead passes.

Later, as the technology level improves, Lianshan can gradually go to a higher orbit to perform tasks - if it can operate in a synchronous orbit of 3.6 kilometers, then Lianshan can stare at a certain area all day long. Now, Lianshan can only pass once every 90 minutes, and then spend 5 minutes passing the top.

After Han Xingzhi released the picture, the orbital space could start. After the arrangements were made, all that was left was to wait for them to meet him in a few minutes.

"Cavalry is powerful" Shangluo vaguely remembers seeing cavalry running when he was playing a game that many people have on their computers, where you can slash and kill on horseback. Not to mention 400 cavalry, even 100 cavalry have an unstoppable momentum. 400 cavalry running is like a torrent of steel covering the mountains and plains.

Seeing this scene, I realized that the saying that Lu Bu defeated 100,000 Black Mountain bandits with just a few dozen men was true. The Eastern Han Dynasty was the time when the cavalry tactics flourished. When Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu started his career, he only had two counties, but he was able to shock the world with the cavalry tactics of Shanggu and Yuyang. The cavalry tactics of the Three Kingdoms period were even more in the spotlight of history, and many horrifying "unparalleled" battles were fought, especially by Lu Bu's faction.

Once these cavalrymen charge, people who are not stupid will not stand in front, just like horses who are not stupid will not charge into a spear formation. A few hundred well-trained cavalrymen can move through a large formation of tens of thousands of people, because people are independent individuals after all, and even if they stand in a military formation, they are just a combination of individuals. What keeps this whole functioning like an organism is "organization."

No one could stop Lu Bu and his cavalry from charging. This momentum could destroy the organization of the Black Mountain bandits. The rest was not just a few dozen people defeating tens of thousands of people. "Dozens of people against a few people" was repeated hundreds of times. The only limit was whether Lu Bu's hands were sore. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu's hands were sore three times a day during the 10 days of breaking the formation.

In this case, the cavalry chasing and killing the pawns is like the Type 2 tank crushing the Polish cavalry. And if the cavalry is regarded as a tank, then there is also the "Battle of Kursk" during the Weinan War, where Ma Chao's cavalry and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry clashed with each other's infantry, and each "opened an unparalleled" in the other's infantry-

"Come to think of it, we seem to be in Poland?" Shangluo remembered after looking at the map.

[Yes. Isn't this your plan? You said it would be in Poland at the beginning.]

"Because when it started, the Poles didn't react at all. It didn't feel Polish at all."

[You can't expect any reaction from Chen Shizhong's national team's extraordinary power. In their view, this is probably similar to the ghost army passing through the border, a group of ghosts fighting.]

Although the 400 cavalrymen looked quite impressive from the actual scene, once the perspective was moved away from the scene, trying to find the 400 men on the ground was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. This is why someone had to watch them and deal with them - if there was no one to judge, it would be easy for the Tianyi nobleman to make mistakes in identification and lose track, and it would be difficult to find them again if they were lost.

The speed of these cavalrymen was much faster than expected.

"Interesting. Just looking at this picture, we can occasionally see that they seem to be 'sliding'? The spacing and frequency of these steps do not seem to match the speed at which they move. It's like these cavalrymen are just moving horizontally at a predetermined speed, and the running action is just for decoration."

[These six-legged war horses are not creatures of this world, and they do have this effect when they move.]

"Fortunately, our method of interception is not barricades, but orbital bombardment."

It is not easy to use orbital bombing to aim at moving targets on the ground, because the precise aiming of the gun barrel cannot keep up with the speed of these cavalrymen. It can only be done by predicting and aiming in advance. In order to further ensure that they can be eliminated, the ambushers on the road are also heading forward. If a shot misses, the ambushers can rush out and continue to pursue, using physical means to capture Elodeasha.

After all, although Shangluo can fire many times, the shells themselves are very expensive - if those shells want to reach relativistic speeds, they must use the magic of "throwing". And the core of the magic must be on the shells, so that the shells can cooperate with the Vulcan device of the gun body to throw themselves out.

Although the Vulcan cores in these shells are all recyclable, the total amount fired at one time is limited. Although with the help of fixed facilities, it does not require a particularly advanced Vulcan core, it is still more or less weapon-grade to have such an effect.

The Lianshan currently has 40 rounds of ammunition in reserve. This is enough to change the terrain, but for a mission like this, it cannot be fired at full power, so the opportunity must be used sparingly.

Therefore, this requires some ambush troops to cooperate.

The ambush has been deployed.

"We're ready. We'll start launching after arriving at the designated location in 3 minutes." Lu Huaiyang sent a message to Shangluo through the walkie-talkie, and we'll start landing now.

After selecting the reserved location, Lianshan launched an orbital airdrop, allowing the Jinyiwei on standby on the ship to depart from the launcher.

Anyone who has studied astronautics or played games related to astronautics - such as Shangluo - knows that when the Earth's orbit changes, usually the direction of change is not up or down.

If the relative position is only changed within a short distance, it is OK to use the attitude change nozzle to move horizontally. But once the distance is greater than a certain scale, it is the speed that determines the height up and down.

Jumping out of the space station does not mean falling directly to the ground, but will be affected by the thin atmosphere in the orbit of the space station, slowly slowing down over a period of several months before finally falling into the atmosphere. If the Jinyiwei jumped out of the hatch directly, they would probably not be able to reach the ground until after the Dragon Boat Festival.

If Jin Yiwei wants to reach the ground within 8 hours, it needs to control the track precisely. If it sets off at 4 a.m., it will arrive at 12 noon.

But Elodeasha was a moving target, and it was impossible to find the path 8 hours later. They could only complete the descent in time, and they only had a few minutes left.

Then there is only one method left - put the Jinyiwei into the gun barrel and fire it directly downwards.

"So why did you blast us down first?" Wen Yuan stood helplessly at the entrance. In front of him was the drop capsule, which was not directly connected to the outer space, but had an acceleration track.

In a sense, he was now in a gun barrel, the working principle of this gun barrel was exactly the same as the main gun, but it was smaller and the barrel was shorter. Only in this way could it reach the ground directly.

According to previous estimates, they probably wouldn't be able to drop parachutes or anything else when they reach the ground, but would hit the ground directly, creating a lot of big holes. Because only by rushing into the atmosphere at this speed can they avoid floating slowly in orbit and pass the distance from the space station to the ground in a few minutes. "So why do you want to blast us down first?" Wen Yuan stood helplessly at the entrance. In front of him was the airborne drop chamber, and the bottom of the airborne drop chamber was not directly connected to the outer space, so he could see the acceleration track. When he thought of 1
"So Master, why do we have to fight for these few minutes?"

"Tsk, how can I say hello to you? How did you learn it in class?"

"No. Whose high school has astronautics in its curriculum? I missed a lot of freshman courses because of what happened here." Although he did study related content in the Imperial Guard's military academy later, he hasn't learned it yet.

"Then learn it yourself during the mission! Here's a simple math problem for you - the Lianshan is located 400 kilometers above the ground, and we have to reach the ground within 3 minutes. The spacecraft is moving in a uniform straight line in the middle of the installation, so how fast is it?"

"8000 kilometers per hour????"

"Correct answer - close your eyes and prepare to fall."

Three minutes later, they reached the ground. As Lu Huaiyang said, this part was almost uniform linear motion - when it hit the ground, it also maintained a hypersonic speed of 8000 kilometers per hour.

Although the orbit can be optimized, such as to about 10 minutes, which can reduce the impact when landing, it still requires Lianshan to adjust its posture. This mission is an emergency, and it is more convenient to smash it down directly when it is not over the top.

"Ah, I'm going to die. Am I already dead?" Wen Yuan crawled out of the airdrop capsule and vomited all over the floor.

Generally speaking, even Qigong practitioners cannot withstand this kind of impact. But with the help of Xiao Huan Dan, they temporarily established the Xiao Zhou Tian circulation, so they can withstand it once.

Lu Huaiyang came out before him. A sand pit was created where they landed, and Lu Huaiyang was standing at the edge of the pit.

"We're here." Lu Huaiyang sent a message on the walkie-talkie.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." He felt a little guilty for sitting in an armchair and shooting his teammates to the ground at hypersonic speed outside the atmosphere.

"Nothing. We are standing in the safe zone. Is it safe?"

He still confirmed with Shangluo. After all, there was an orbital bombardment not far ahead, and who knew if it would miss and suddenly hit him on the head. Being hit on the ground at hypersonic speed would not kill them, but being hit by a relativistic kinetic weapon would be -

Jinyiwei had already taken the immortality elixir one after another. Although they would not die if they were hit directly, no one wanted to experience the feeling of coming back from the dead. It was better not to die.

"This time it's different. I increased the mass of the shells and reduced the power of the launch. This way, the strike on a single target will be more accurate, but the strike range will be smaller. You should be safe there."

"So you haven't experimented with this before? Is this a newly prepared shell?"

"Oh, this is just forcing the issue. Time waits for no one. There is only so much time when Elodeasha shows up. If we don't move, we will be left behind."

Lu Huaiyang had some complaints about this kind of mission - because it was an outing. It was natural to protect the Ming Dynasty, but working in Rome was only indirectly useful to the Ming Dynasty, so he was not willing to take risks. However, since Shangluo asked him to help and gave him an allowance, he had no choice but to come.

"Come to think of it." Lu Huaiyang suddenly asked, "Didn't you set up a duty bureau here? Why didn't you let the night duty bureau take the lead this time?"

"Something went wrong with the Night Service. No, it wasn't an emergency, it was anticipated from the beginning. We did form a Night Service before, but Director Hans of the Prussian branch of the Night Service only had 30 days to live after taking the elixir, so we made some preparations for him. The Night Service is mainly busy with this matter. However, the Night Service will also participate in this operation as a reserve team. If they can't catch him here, they can go out."

"It's quite a big shelf."

"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that I'm very burdened."

"Okay." Lu Huaiyang looked up at the sky - vaguely, he could see the light on the Lianshan's turret.

Just like the cavalrymen seen from the sky, the Lianshan is indeed a huge monster, but from the ground it is only "visible to the naked eye" and its specific location can be directly distinguished by the naked eye.

When he thought about how he had just fallen from such a high place, he suddenly felt sore all over. However, he was a Qi Refiner. This level of impact was indeed a challenge for him, even with the help of the Xiao Huan Dan. If possible, he didn't want to experience it again.

It’s best not to take on this kind of mission where you have to stand under the gun.

"Cat Cart. Cat Cart" Lu Huaiyang kept repeating the name. They didn't come to help entirely because of Shangluo's request this time, but also because Irodeasha's cat car seemed to be a treasure, which would greatly enhance the mission of the Jinyiwei. When he thought of this, the pain in his body was much less.

"Hic~~~" Wen Yuan was still kneeling on the ground with his back to hers, hiccupping non-stop.

"How can you be a pilot if you are so fragile?"

"Whose pilot is hitting the floor at hypersonic speed! And why didn't you eat, Master?"

"Well, maybe the Xiao Huan Dan I take is not the same brand as yours. Boy, don't trust the people in the Danfang for this kind of elixir. After you get to know the emperor well, just ask him directly for it. How can a 3000-year-old fairy peach be compared with a 6000-year-old fairy peach?"
