Chapter 835 (1/2)

In fact, compared with firecrackers, the manufacturing threshold of muskets is lower.

Artillery Yongye military leaders can be mass-produced, let alone muskets.

However, because of the low threshold, the Yongye army leader gave priority to the launch of artillery and delayed the loading of muskets.

Because it's not only low in manufacturing, but also lower in use.

Any farmer, with it, can easily kill a well-trained knight, another knight with defensive skills.

If the Yongye army leader is not in the cold weapon war, Sean will definitely advocate the line of first firearm and then artillery to enhance the combat effectiveness of infantry.

However, they first innovated the combat technology system and took a step ahead of others in this area.

Later, it merged the so-called first step battle of the kentana barbarians, and the cold weapon operation entered a peak.

Instead, the muskets did not rush out.

Because this device is different from artillery, it is not difficult to manufacture, but also belongs to personal weapons. In the case of large-scale loading, the security work can be much more difficult than that of artillery.

Once it is imitated by the enemy, it will shake its dominant position in cold weapon operations.

No packing does not mean that there is no research, no production and no inventory.

The prescient Sean, aware that this is a major trend in the future, is only controlling the emergence and spread of muskets.

With the black powder as the foundation, sooner or later, someone will drum up the firearm. After all, its basic principle is the same as that of artillery.

When Sean realized that their real enemy was not just the Odin orcs, his mind changed and was no longer hidden.

Sean's most powerful support for Sophia this time is not the artillery regiment composed of 300 guns, nor the two main battle regiments, but 20000 Andes longbows, 20000 15 type rifles, 2 million heavy arrows and 2 million rifle bullets.

These long-range fire weapons are enough for Sophia to form longbowmen and Musketeers after the simplest training of the temporarily recruited farmers.

These two occupations are typically easy to learn and difficult to master.

It only takes a week for them to master the most basic skills, and the rest is mainly formation and command.

As for accuracy.

Neither is needed.

The former is basically invisible to the enemy in the process of shooting.

After they have formed a formation, they just pull the bow and send out the long arrows according to the order of the commander. As for whether they can kill people or not, it is entirely up to the enemy's luck to decide.

They shoot enough arrows at a time, enough dense enough, each time there will be harvest.

The same is true of muskets.

One shot at an enemy, not even the highly trained snipers with specialized guns, can do this, let alone these patchwork farmers.

All they need is to line up like longbowmen, aim at their targets in front of them, and pull the trigger. Whether they can hit the target or not depends on luck.

At present, the harvest is quite fruitful.

Because their enemies have never dealt with muskets, they don't know their characteristics, and they don't know how to defend and evade.

Especially when it is close to the 20-30-meter section of the city wall, there is no way to divide it as before. As long as the direction of the target is not bad, it is easy to get harvest.

”It's done. We've made it. This thing can really kill those stinking orcs.”

”Ha ha Ha ha I killed, I killed an Odin orc, ha ha I'll see who dares to call me a coward. ”

”Bah! Which eye do you see that you killed the enemy? Can you see the trajectory of the bullet? It's not possible that your bullet has already deviated to where I don't know. It's not certain that other people shot it askew! Besides, the name of coward can't be washed away by killing one or two orcs. ”

”In front of Laozi, it's Lao Tzu who aims at it. Even if it's killed by other idiots, it's Laozi's. If you don't accept it, you'll see who killed more.”

”I'm afraid you can't do it? I really thought I was killed by one, I thought I was a sharpshooter! Come on, come on, the losers will not only run around the school grounds naked, but also shout ten times that they are cowards. ”

”Well, it's a deal!”

”It's powerful, more powerful than bows and arrows. Ha ha, I've loved it. I've heard of the craftsman's skill of Yongye's army leader. In recent years, he has made great progress. I didn't expect to be so exquisite that not only can we produce guns with great lethality, but also can produce such exquisite killing weapons. Unfortunately, if we are guarding the city wall When there is such a sharp weapon, how can the defense line fall? ”

”Be content, we can have enough black powder kegs, which is the blessing of the princess. If the princess is not the Lord's wife of the commander of the eternal night army, how could the other party hand over this sharp weapon to us? What's more, the real defeat in this battle was not due to the supply of weapons, but to the irresistible means used by the other side. Now the blood castle is still covered by black fog. Your majesty does not know whether he is alive or dead! ””That's right. Today we'll let these damned barbarians pay for what they've done, row by row and up the second row.”

In contrast to the orcs of Odin, whose morale was battered, Sophia's defenders, seeing the power of their rifles, were greatly encouraged.

In order to keep secret and save ammunition, their previous training mainly focused on basic operation and formation, and the shooting target of live ammunition was relatively limited, let alone shooting live animals.

Before that, most people have no idea what to do if the power of the rifle is not as fierce as expected?

If you let the other party rush up and take a rifle to fight bayonets with others, they are not the material.
