Chapter 359 Threatening the King(1/2)
Another half month passed, and the first operation to clear out strange beasts began, and the first preparations were even more sufficient.
And unlike the first time, this time there were fifty guards who opened the way ahead, and only the soldiers holding guns were the guards.
These guards were sent by Angela and belonged to the royal guards.
Although there are not many guards, their strength is good. The two third-level strong men are leading the way, and the rest are also second-level strong men.
Because the kingdom employs more places, these guards can only be recruited for two months, and they will be mobilized back in two months.
Two months should be enough.
The function of these guards is not to fight against strange beasts, but to rely on their powerful strength and sensitive senses to find potentially dangerous strange beasts, and then shoot and kill them by the gunman behind them.
Although the guards are not low in strength, they are flesh and blood after all, and they will consume physical strength and strength every time they fight, and they will definitely not be able to fight for a long time.
Musketeers are different. They use muskets to shoot and kill strange beasts, and they can kill strange beasts when the most energy-saving situation is the most powerful, so that they can fight for a long time.
The advantage of muskets is here.
The number of strange beasts is too large. Even if Wang Xiaoming takes action personally, he can kill a few more, dozens or hundreds of them in a day. This is amazing data.
And this gain can be said to be a drop in the bucket for Wang Xiaoming's needs.
But the musketeers are different. Hundreds of musketeers swept over and killed all the strange beasts they saw along the way. Even if they kill tens of thousands of strange beasts a day, it is not impossible.
The result is the same. There are guards in front of them and gunmen attacks behind them. With the cooperation of both sides, casualties were reduced to the minimum. However, the attack and lethality were increased to the extreme. All the strange beasts that encountered them had only one outcome, that is, they were killed on the spot.
The corpses of these killed beasts will be taken away by the civilians and transported back to the city. After being transported to the city, they will be dealt with.
And the Musketeers don’t have to worry about these small things and just focus on fighting.
The team of five hundred people was dispatched, one hundred people were a small team, and five teams took turns to attack. During each battle, one team was responsible for the attack in the front, while the other four teams followed in the rear, and they also had appropriate rest. Then they were rotated. The team fighting in the front retreated, and the team rested in the rear entered the front line to be responsible for the attack.
After this repeated, a team of 500 people can launch a steady stream of attacks.
The guards in charge of reconnaissance in the front were all scared to death after seeing the attack of the Musketeers.
They are also knowledgeable people, but they have never seen such a dense and terrible attack, and they are still a continuous attack.
Although there are also long-range attacks in the Luola continent, the attack methods are relatively single. There are only two long-range attacks: archers and mages.
However, whether it is the ranged attack of archers or mages, there is an attack limit.
When an archer draws a bow, it is very difficult. The stronger the bow and arrow, the greater the power it consumes when pulling it open. Usually, an archer uses his own bow and arrow to draw the bow and shoot. If he can shoot a hundred arrows, it is considered powerful.
Ordinary archers can only draw their bows and shoot archers twenty times at most, and they won’t do it.
Mages also have this problem. When a mage casts a spell attack, it will consume mana. The greater the spell's power, the greater the mana it consumes.
Speaking of protracted warfare, mages are worse than archers.
The attack power of mages and archers is actually stronger than that of muskets, but muskets have one advantage, but archers and archers do not have.
That is the long-lasting attack of the musket.
A musketeer, with sufficient ammunition, reliable quality of the musket, and physically strong, fires hundreds of bullets, which is a good way to play.
After all, the physical energy consumed by shooting is not comparable to that of pulling a bow.
Although there will be recoil problems when shooting, in terms of the physical fitness of humans in this world, that recoil is really nothing.
A well-trained soldier, accompanied by a musket, gritted his teeth and insisted on shooting for a day, which was nothing wrong.
Whether it is an archer or a mage, it is impossible to fight for one day.
Let's fight for one day, let them fight for an hour
Not to mention an hour, if there is a high-intensity battle, they will not be able to hold on for half an hour.
Moreover, in order to save physical strength or mana, archers and mages will not waste attacks when fighting, and they will only look at the opportunity before seeing it.
Wang Xiaoming's troops did not have this problem at all. They had sufficient elixirs and five teams took turns to attack. They were also very physically strong and could open them and fight casually.
This is why they have strong firepower.
This powerful firepower scared all the soldiers responsible for cleaning in front of them.
Their strength is much stronger than the Musketeers, but they also feel scared in their hearts when facing such amazing firepower coverage.
But after fear, their hearts suddenly became hot.
Because Wang Xiaoming had already told them before that after all the battles they participated in, they could get a part of the dividends from the spoils.
At the beginning, they didn't care about this dividend, because there were too many people, and everyone would not be able to get too many dividends after sharing them. However, judging from the current hunting scale, the scale is too large. In a day, you can kill tens of thousands of strange beasts. Even if each person can only get a little bit, the base is too large, and the dividends assigned to them will definitely be quite considerable.
In fact, the same is true. After the day of the battle ended and everyone was shocked after saying goodbye to the counted data in the rear.
According to the results of the battle, each of them who participated in it could get one hundred gold coins.
One hundred gold coins are definitely a large number. According to the consumption level on the earth, one hundred gold coins are equivalent to one million, and one million will be paid in a day. You can imagine how rich the reward is.
However, this is also normal, because after fighting this day, the harvest was really too great.
The dividend of 100 gold coins is only one day. If they wear it here for ten days and half a month, they will have to spend a thousand gold coins, and they will really make a fortune.
After learning the news, all the soldiers invited were excited and worked harder in the subsequent battle.
The only ones who could get dividends were the fifty soldiers invited, and the rest of the soldiers who fired the gun had no dividends.
Because these soldiers who fired the gun belonged to the private corpses in Wang Xiaoming's territory, equivalent to half of Wang Xiaoming's slaves. Their fate was decided by Wang Xiaoming. They only had basic salary and treatment, and there was no dividend when fighting.
Even so, no one of these soldiers complained about it, because this world was like this, and Wang Xiaoming was like their masters, so it would be great to be able to treat them well. If you want to pay dividends, that's something that even the door doesn't have.
The second day, the third day, the battle remains the same.
In just half a month of battle, all the strange beasts around the territory were cleaned up, and the entire territory was immediately cleaned and safe.
After such a round of battles, Wang Xiaoming's troops finally transformed from new recruits to veterans. Their combat power has not improved much, but their spirits are completely different. When facing strange beasts, they will never panic, but become an experienced veteran.
Sure enough, actual combat is the best training ground.
The troops completed the training, and Wang Xiaoming also harvested a large amount of supplies.
After those strange beasts were cleaned up, they left behind what was useful to Wang Xiaoming, and all the useless things were transported out and sold.
Wang Xiaoming only needs the strange beast gems on the strange beast, and almost all the rest were sold.
The strange beasts are full of treasures. Even if they dig out the strange beast gems, they can be sold at a high price. With these strange beasts, Wang Xiaoming made a fortune.
Another way to make money is to sell arms.
But at present, Wang Xiaoming is still restricting this way of making money and does not think about how much money it makes. It is mainly to increase his position in the kingdom by selling arms.
At present, Wang Xiaoming only sells rifles and rifle bullets, but even so, these rifles and bullets were secretly transported to Angela's hands, which shocked Angela so much.
Angela is not an ignorant girl who doesn't know anything. After seeing the power and operation of these rifles, Angela was shocked and saw the huge firepower advantages of these rifles.
You should know that it is very difficult to train any soldier.
Not to mention those second and third-level masters, even first-level warriors, have participated in rigorous training since childhood. Only after more than ten years of training can they become first-level warriors.
The second and third levels, or even the fourth levels, will be even more difficult.
But how much time does it take to train a musketman? Especially Wang Xiaoming's rifles are not primitive meskeletal guns, but bullet-cast rifles that are made directly in one step. An ordinary man only needs to train for three or five days to skillfully use muskets, and after training for three or five months, he can become a qualified musket soldier. Such a soldier has a combat power comparable to a first-level warrior.
Angela is very clear about what concept this is and what kind of consequences it will cause.
This will change the continent's power structure.
How powerful would it be if I had ten thousand such musket soldiers in my hands?
Such a legion is simply an invincible existence.
Moreover, the real advantage of musketeers is that they are easy to train. As long as they have money and guns, they can train qualified soldiers on a large scale in a short period of time.
Let’s talk about another idea. If these muskets are equipped on existing soldiers, then these existing soldiers will immediately increase their combat effectiveness, and it is not impossible to sweep the continent.
This matter was too big. Angela did not dare to neglect her. She immediately secretly met her father with a musket, and let her father see the power of the musket.
The king was also stunned by the power of the musket, and also saw the advantages and disadvantages of the musket. The advantages of the musket are definitely not comparable to that of the bow and arrow.
If all the soldiers in their kingdom are equipped with muskets, that's the power
Thinking of this, the king's heart was already full of heat.
The king's face suddenly became gloomy. This kind of manufacturing technology for making powerful weapons should definitely be in his own hands, so how can it be kept in the hands of outsiders?
How to get the technology
Thinking of this, the king's face became even more gloomy.
Seeing his father slowly changing his face, Angela immediately smiled bitterly, took out another letter from his arms and handed it to the king.
Angela said: Father, this is a letter written to you by Marquis Wang Xiaoming, you'd better take a closer look.
The king was stunned for a moment, then took the letter and checked it.
The already gloomy face became even more gloomy after reading the letter. After a long time, the king let out a long breath, and his face calmed down.
Then he shook his head helplessly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
What Wang Xiaoming wrote in the letter was very simple, but it was also very annoying, especially for the king.
Wang Xiaoming wrote in his heart that for safety reasons, he had hidden the formulas and drawings for making musket weapons in the Kingdom of Cindy. Once something happened to him, the formulas and drawings would appear in front of the King of Cindy in the shortest time.
