Tauren Overlord

394. Only when you are alive can you produce results

The reason why Lu Heng's "Tank Squad" can do this is, of course, related to its large design space.

If compared with the main battle tank ZTZ-99A in Lu Heng's hometown, the combat bull truck has even more space.

战斗牛牛车全长8米，大于99A的7.6米，宽度也达4米，大于99A的3.4米。

But the real key is that the "Tank Squad" has a power and weapon system based on psychic energy.

Let’s take the 99A as an example. The total weight of the 99A is about 55 tons, which sacrifices a certain degree of mobility for the sake of armor.

If the armor is thinner, the 99A will lose the armor protection capability of a heavy tank;

But its armor cannot be too thick, otherwise the 99A will find it difficult to achieve the mobility of a medium tank.

However, the Bull Fighting Vehicle does not have tank armor in the conventional sense, only three spellcasters traveling with it.

If you encounter an enemy attack, you can put a Gaia Shield on the car, which will save a lot of space and weight.

With a larger space, you can naturally carry more supplies.

Another space-saving factor is that the combat bull cart does not burn oil, but instead uses refined psionic stones to provide kinetic energy.

The psychic stone of the same size and weight is lighter and more efficient than the diesel of the old ball, and is a very good source of power.

So the combat bull cart moves faster.

The 99A has a maximum off-road speed of approximately 65 kilometers per hour and a continuous combat range of 600 kilometers.

Without armor, the lighter Combat Bullfighter has a maximum off-road speed of about 100 kilometers per hour.

This far surpasses most creatures that run on the ground with their legs, including the three-headed hounds and the fierce demons.

Coupled with a 1000km sustained combat range, this vehicle is well suited for hit-and-run kite-flying tactics.

As for the weapon system, Lu Heng’s “tank squad” does not actually need to prepare a specific number of artillery shells.

The essence of the shells is that Chloe used the psychic simulation stone to simulate Thomas' "siege artillery" ability.

So the combat bull carts don’t have any tank gun barrels, and all the shells come from their instant casting.

The number of shells that each crew can fire in one battle is generally more than that of a main battle tank in the old world.

For example, the 99A has a 125mm main gun and usually has 42 rounds of ammunition.

In this world of psychic energy, the psychic energy reserves of a second-level minotaur are enough to summon 20 artillery shells.

But this is just the psychic energy in his body. Lu Heng’s camp has already begun mass production and equipping of psychic batteries.

In order to improve the combat effectiveness of these 90 Tauren warriors, Lu Heng has used psychic batteries to mature them to the second level.

Lu Heng also equipped each Tauren warrior with a psychic battery equivalent to four times their own psychic energy limit.

In other words, the theoretical "ammunition supply" for each gunner is 20*5=100 rounds.

However, Lu Heng’s training requirement for each “tank crew” is that everyone can serve as a driver, gunner and machine gunner.

At most, there is a soldier who is particularly good at driving or firing artillery, so they are assigned corresponding priority positions.

Since everyone has a cannon, the maximum "ammunition reserve" of each combat vehicle is 300 rounds.

The total number of rounds for the 30 "tanks" is 9000.

However, Lu Heng also clearly emphasized that the crew members cannot fight to such an extreme extent.

On average, each soldier only needs to use 40% of his total spiritual energy to fire artillery, which means each vehicle can fire 120 rounds.

Even if we take into account the spiritual energy consumption required to replenish the ammunition of the Niuteling Cannon, it should not exceed 60% of the total spiritual energy.

At least 40% of the remaining total psychic energy should be reserved for generating Gaia Shield or as energy storage for unexpected situations.

In Lu Heng's flexible defense strategy, the priority is to reduce the losses of his own people rather than killing the enemy.

The Merkava Mk65 tank, which is also a modern main battle tank, weighs 3 tons and has 45 rounds of ammunition.

However, on the actual battlefield, the more important question is how many of these 45 shells can be fired.

Maybe before the gun has fired a few rounds, an anti-tank superman will destroy the Merkava, and then no matter how much ammunition is in reserve, it will be useless.

Therefore, Lu Heng must pay more attention to the safety of the combat bull cart.

However, even if he did not prioritize the amount of ammunition, the number of 120 rounds generally exceeded that of Guqiu's main battle tanks.

As for the "boxed lunch" supplies for the 30 tanks and the replenishment of psychic batteries, that is also easy to solve.

Why doesn’t Lu Heng just open a portal and deliver the package right next to the person’s face?

If Lu Heng were to teleport more than 100,000 remnants of the Haijian force at once, it would indeed consume a large amount of his spiritual energy.

But if you want to airdrop 30 combat vehicles, that is not a problem at all.

Lu Heng also took care of Shashatek's ratman battalion and Diana's harpy witch troops, so there was no pressure.

These troops were originally fighting for their own survival, and with good food and drink, their morale was exceptionally high.

After all, Lu Heng does not have the magic that the God Emperor has that can directly affect the mental state of others, so he can only think of these "external tricks".

And on this gloomy night, the God-Emperor, who possessed the ability to influence minds, was not having an easy time either.

Ever since Marshal Selron's death, he had had enough of the pain of directly commanding the generals.

So he followed the branding and found the Fierce Demon General Zaminil who was leading his troops to disperse and infiltrate New Luna City:

"From now on, you will be the Fierce Demon Marshal."

The Fierce Demons have always had many powerful warriors at the fourth level.

Even if Alexis died, it wouldn't be difficult for the God-Emperor to find another powerful demon to take over.

But when it actually happened to Zaminier, he felt more fear than surprise.

Due to Alexis's excellent attainments in fire magic, Zamminil never had the opportunity to make further progress.

But worse than "never getting ahead" was that he had to deal with someone that even Alexis couldn't beat.

Since he could become the marshal, it was most likely that Alexis, the most powerful among the fierce demons, was killed by the Minotaur Overlord.

So Zamminil quickly put himself in position.

The fact that the Tauren Overlord can always win shows that he is a truly strong man.

We must not harbor any more hope that Alexis was defeated by the enemy because of his carelessness.

Now he, Zanminiel and the remaining demons are the weaker party.

As a weak person, he must use limited resources carefully to achieve the greatest effect.

The reason why the Emperor of God chose Zaminir among the remaining several Fierce Demon Generals was because he saw his characteristics.

Zaminil seems to be one of the few naturally noble pyromancers who can think from the perspective of the weak.

As for the Minotaur Overlord, the God-Emperor realized that he was an enemy stronger than the Alliance between the Seas.

He was able to defeat the Sea Alliance because he was truly well prepared.

But this Minotaur Overlord who suddenly appeared was very different.

The author says:

Author's words: Thanks to [Niuniu] for the coins and monthly tickets ww

395. Backyard Fire

He doesn't look like a tauren warrior who likes to charge with an axe in his hand, but more like a calculating strategist.

Faced with an opponent whose behavior was unpredictable, the Emperor of God felt the emotion of fear for the first time in a long time.

But in this war, there was no turning back.

Because he had keenly discovered that the Minotaur Lord was obviously not like a normal person.

This is not a difference between whether a person's combat style is unrestrained or cautious, but a fundamental difference.

What should a normal person do?

Of course, selfishness is the greatest principle, and one’s own gains are the greatest overall situation.

In the eyes of the God-Emperor, a normal person should spend his life like this:

When he looks back on the past, he will not feel regret for his altruistic behavior, nor will he feel ashamed for being blinded by collectivism;

So that when he died, he could proudly say:

"I have devoted my life and all my energy to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle to become the best among men."

A normal person should maximize his or her own interests and sell out all his or her allies and subordinates whenever possible.

At least for the remnants of Kaijian who no longer have any combat effectiveness, what is the correct way to use it?

Should make a "fair deal" with them:

Every old person was left to fend for themselves, and only teenagers and children were qualified to retreat to a safe rear.

What about the remaining young and strong men? Either they launch the final charge or they hold a certain line of defense.

This is the only way to squeeze out their last bit of usable value.

As for the children who were sent to the rear, of course they were just giving false hope to the consumables at the front.

When most of the sea people on the front line have died, their children will also be sacrificed.

This will allow their entire family to be reunited together.

But how did the Tauren Overlord do it?

He sent more than 300 rat-man spellcasters to the front line to provide medical treatment to the remaining Haijian forces.

More than 20 spellcasters were killed by the Imperial Army because they were too close to the front line.

It was during the process of killing the rat-man spellcaster that the God-Emperor learned the most incomprehensible thing:

These ratmen are not natural spellcasters, but use a magic prop that can be mass-produced like stone.

The threshold for using these magic props is extremely low, and even ordinary people who have not yet been promoted to rank one can use them.

This greatly confused the Divine Emperor.

Doesn't the Tauren Overlord know at all that this will lead to an increase in the casting rate of the weak?

No, the minotaur, as cunning as a strategist, would not be unaware of what he had done.

The real question is, why would he do something that is unimaginable to normal people?

Isn't it best to have a great supernatural power like magic in your own hands?

Once this power falls into the hands of others, how can he guarantee that others will not harm him?

To everyone, everyone is everyone's potential enemy.

For any strong person with power, the safest thing to do is to kill everyone else.

Only in this way will he be safest.

If you cannot live your life alone because you want someone to exploit you, then you should at least pursue the law of living alone.

When a strong man creates a world where only he can cast spells, doesn't that mean he is the only one who can exploit others?

For normal people, this is the most ideal, comfortable, civilized and moral world.

At least for the God-Emperor, the world after his victory should be a world where he is the only spellcaster.

Subordinates including Zaminil and Augustus will become sacrifices for his eventual promotion.

This is what a strong person who always pursues personal interests should do:

Always make yourself stronger, but also make sure to prevent others from getting promoted.

Once the inferior person has the same strength, he will definitely have the idea of ​​being on an equal footing with the superior person.

Therefore, when all the dust has settled, all channels for upward mobility should be blocked to prevent the strong from leading the weaker ones.
