Chapter 550 Tank Destroyer (for Subscription)

Interestingly, the Black Iron Dwarves enslaved by Ragnaros occupy the Blackrock Abyss in the lower part of Blackrock Mountain. After the orcs captured Stormwind City, they began to use the lava cavity here to build and expand the Blackstone Fortress.

After hearing that the Bronzebeard dwarves from Ironforge had joined the Alliance, the Dark Iron dwarves flirted with the Horde without saying a word. They were happy to add obstacles to the copperbeard dwarves, and even ran out to build various weapons and fortifications for the tribe while Ragnaros was still asleep.

Therefore, the defense of Blackstone Fortress is quite solid.

Two hundred thousand orcs are crowded into one fortress... Orgrim said that the decisive battle is true, but if the orcs lose, what about defending the fortress?

So the hundreds of thousands of alliance troops will be stuck here in the scorching canyon? On weekdays, Lothar probably would have exploded in his head.

"What's the difficulty? If they dare to retreat, it's up to us dwarves!" Magni Bronzebeard said carelessly.

Anduin is not someone who knows nothing about dwarves. When he was young, he often went to Ironforge, and he was also an old friend with Magni. It's just that, what kind of "opinion" is it? Not only does Anduin have to be convinced, but also the generals of other countries must agree.

At this time, Duke suddenly said: "Steam siege engine?"

The eyes of Magni and Gelbin Mekkatorque, the great craftsman who is equivalent to the dwarf king, lit up. Hey, I didn't expect that there are people who know the goods among humans? Or Duke, one of the league leaders?

"Hey, you know that too?" Magni laughed.

Who knew that Duke frowned: "Not good."

"Why not?" Gelbin was a little unhappy. After all, the steam siege engine is one of the highest masterpieces made by dwarves and gnomes.

Duke said with affirmation: "It must be close to the fortifications to activate, and it can easily be destroyed by the orcs' crude defense weapons."

Magni asked, "For example?"

"Like a giant log that is 100 feet long and 20 feet thick?" Duke casually gave an example, which made Magni and Gelbin's faces change a bit.

That's right, orcs are beast-like creatures with immense strength. If so, that's a bit of a hangup.

Gelbin: "Any good ideas?"

"Maybe modify the steam tank, for example, to make it look like this." Duke waved his hand, and suddenly a dwarf steam tank that was almost boxy and big box-like appeared, but a 3D projection of a very different tank model appeared. In front of Magni and Gelbin.

If there is another traverser present, you will definitely find that this tank is very similar to the Su-152 tank destroyer of the Soviet Union during World War II.

Of course, according to the dwarven industrial strength of this era, they could only be forced to abandon the long barrel, but because there is no rotating turret, the caliber of the main gun can be increased even more frantically.

Also in order to resist attacks from the front, the front armor is thicker when the sophistication and steel rolling technology are not up to standard. After giving up the rotating turret, you can add a few shooting holes on the side, and put some lover musketeers inside to take care of the attack from the side.

Whether it was Lothar or McGranny, they were all dumbfounded about the topic Duke and the dwarves were muttering about. Their knowledge of dwarven weapons is still very primitive. I always feel that dwarf tanks can indeed withstand swords, but heavy weapons such as sledgehammers are a little something. For example, on the battlefield, I saw orcs carrying big tree trunks to smash dwarf tanks more than once.

But at this time, if you don't trust the dwarves, you have to find your own soldiers to fight the orcs in the streets. As long as you take care of your soldiers' commanders a little, they won't do such inhuman prodigal things.

Originally, Anduin complained a little about Duke's proposal to modify the siege weapons so late. Firstly, a war is imminent, and secondly, there are only four days left. Is it too late?

But Magni waved his hand: "Don't underestimate the strength of dwarves and gnomes! We can make such a transformation without technological content in one night."

Magni and Gelbin were so confident that even Duke was a little suspicious.

hello!

Are all dwarves like this?

one night?

After all, it's a steam tank, right? Solve the power system of the tank without recalculating the load? What about the drive wheel? What about the tracks? What about the suspension system?

Then, the next day, Duke was pleasantly surprised by a round of applause of wonder and praise.

Duke came out to look sleepily, and Duke was also stunned.

Nima! I want you to be a tank destroyer, not a land cruiser. What the hell is this iron bump that is more than ten meters long, as wide as three carriages parallel, and almost two stories high?

Not only was Duke dumbfounded, but the Windrunner sisters also opened their mouths.

All right!

At least the shape is perfect.

Duke noticed that, except for the iron armor at the front, which was really fine steel, the two sides were made of wooden structures covered with two or three layers of iron sheets.

When Duke walked over, he saw a huge wheel that was one person tall and made of pig iron. Although most of the outer part of the wheel was covered by the outer armor, Duke could clearly see...

No tracks!

No tracks!

No tracks!

Say important things three times.

"Then how does the car turn and pass through complex terrain? And the car is so heavy, what kind of steam transmission system is needed to handle it?" With this question in mind, Duke turned to the back of the car to take a look, almost biting his tongue off.

High-tech monster!

No wonder it is said to be 'such a transformation without technological content'.

I believe in your evil!

Looking in through the open rear door behind the rear of the tank, Duke could clearly see that on the bottom floor, there were at least a hundred dwarves chatting and bragging in front of rows of putters.

right!

That's right!

It's a push rod for a cart!

Feelings, this tank destroyer weighing at least tens of tons is driven by human power!

Push it manually, of course, as long as everyone listens to the chant.

"Pfft!" Duke spat out all of a sudden.

Just right. At this time Magni and Gelbin came over proudly.

The great dwarf craftsman Gelbin laughed loudly: "How is it? Although it is a bit rushed, it can definitely meet the needs of the siege."

Magni then laughed: "Hey! For this big guy, I specially donated the biggest cannon in the entire Dun Morogh. You know, I only use my beloved 'small steel cannon' to blow up mountains on weekdays. "

"Pfft!" Please forgive Duke for spraying again.

He really underestimated the madness of dwarves and gnomes.

Little steel cannon! ?

Anything over 20 mm on earth is called a gun. During World War II, the German 800mm Gustav train gun was crazy. The problem is that dwarves are a hundred times sicker. The caliber of this gun is measured in meters.

Magni stepped forward and patted Duke on the shoulder: "Thank you for coming up with such a good idea, without protection, I really dare not pull my baby out."
