The equipment of the soldiers of the Hongchen family is indeed quite excellent. Smelting steel was very difficult in the feudal era. Even in the Sun and Moon Continent, which has richer metal resources than Australia, large-scale production of steel cannot be improved without the advancement of metal smelting technology.
Forging armor weapons is also a very labor-intensive and material-resource-consuming task.
A simple calculation will tell you that the mining process requires digging mines, doing heavy manual labor in mines that may collapse at any time, transporting the collected minerals out, and transporting them to the blast furnace, and then you need to dig coal and cut down trees.
This depends on how far the coal is from the iron mine. If there is no coal mine, the trees need to be burned into coke, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The final smelted steel will be handed over to the blacksmith for forging.
arms.
The manpower and material resources required for a weapon are far from being beaten by a blacksmith, but more than ten times or even dozens of times the labor intensity of a blacksmith. It requires dozens of unemployed people to work intensively for several weeks to get one.
For the productivity of the feudal era, excellent weapons for the army were definitely very expensive. If an empire was often defended by millions of soldiers, it would basically be considered a militancy.
But the Hongchen family has a natural advantage in this regard. The martial spirits of the Hongchen family are all three-legged golden toads. The talent of this martial spirit is to control metals. Among the minerals of the Sun and Moon Empire, the purity is very high. It only needs
The simplest smelting is to pile metal minerals and coal together and ignite them. Masters from the Hongchen family can directly use their martial arts to control the restored elemental metals, gather them together, and turn them into pure metal elements. If you want to smelt carbon
Steel is just a matter of extracting the elemental metal, mixing it with some carbon powder, and forging it evenly while it is still at high temperature. Then you can get steel with quite good strength.
As for casting these steels into armored weapons, that is even simpler. Masters from the Hongchen family can control solid metals like flowing water. All metals are like T1000 in their hands, and they can be kneaded into various shapes at will.
kind of shape.
If this kind of martial spirit takes the road of industrialization, it will definitely develop very rapidly. When humans process industrial products, one of the biggest troubles is that materials that can withstand high-intensity reactions are often extremely strong themselves.
For example, steel has high strength and high ductility, but it cannot be forged by humans at all. It must be heated to high temperatures and softened before it can be processed.
This makes precision control difficult and the cost of processing high. For people like the Hongchen family who can knead metal like kneading clay, it will be very easy to process gears, connecting rods, springs, and bearings.
, if the ideas are not restricted, high-precision machine tools can be easily manufactured.
It is a pity that the scientific thinking in the feudal era was so backward that the Hongchen family only used their own abilities to forge weapons and armor. It was not until the soul guides were introduced to the mainland that they found that their abilities were extremely matched with the production of soul guides, so they left
He embarked on the path of making soul guidance devices and became a famous soul guidance family in the Sun and Moon Empire.
It has to be said that the Red Dust Legion is definitely well-equipped among the feudal armies. Although the soldiers are not all plate armor, every key part is wearing armor. The weapons in their hands are of high quality, whether they are short swords or spears.
They are all hard and sharp. In comparison, the original weapons of the Imperial Army are of varying quality.
Perhaps some weapons are of better quality than those of the Hongchen family, but most of them are inferior products in comparison and do not have the ability to soften the technology. It is very difficult to standardize weapons like the Hongchen family.
Lan Nuo also discovered this situation, so he directly changed the equipment of some people and replaced them with assault rifles and sniper rifles. As for light and heavy machine guns, Lan Nuo is not so cruel. He only needs to defeat his opponents.
There is no need for massacre.
Everyone lines up in a neat formation to charge, but if you bring out a heavy machine gun, it's like cutting wheat. After the battle is over, don't even think about taking prisoners. Basically, everyone will be killed suddenly.
Although the soldiers only received the simplest shooting training, one of the biggest advantages of firearms is that they are easy to use. When flintlocks and even matchlocks were first invented, they could replace bows and arrows, not because of their greater power.
Bows and arrows are big. In fact, the newly invented muskets are quite overpowering and are not as good as bows and arrows. One of the most important reasons why they can replace them is that training is very simple. It only takes a few months to train to be qualified, and a qualified archer even needs a few.
It takes years to train.
It is even easier to get started with modern firearms. As long as you understand the principles of three points and one line, you can basically learn how to use them in an afternoon. You don't need to have high shooting skills to deal with a group of guys with swords and spears.
It's enough to get within 100m, then line up and shoot.
The Holy Dragon Legion lined up here to shoot the enemies of the Red Dust Legion.
Seeing a hundred meters away, the legions of the Holy Dragon Empire stopped. The Duke of Hongchen thought that his opponent was frightened because of the huge gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides. After all, the guy standing in the front row, holding a fire stick, didn't even wear armor.
, looks too much like cannon fodder.
Then he saw these people raised the fire sticks in their hands and started to operate them awkwardly. After only a short shooting training, they were not familiar with the weapons in their hands. Lan Nuo even only dared to let them line up in a row.
If they were lined up in two rows, Lanno was worried that the people in the back row would accidentally shoot through the heads of the people in the front row.
Even so, the weapons in their hands are too advanced. Compared with cold weapons, they have surpassed more than one technological generation. As long as they aim at the enemy's dense formation and pull the trigger, they can harvest the enemy's life.
As a round of uneven shooting sounded, a group of people in the front row of the Red Dust Legion fell down inexplicably. They could only hear the sound of explosions and see the fire coming from the muzzles of the opponent's guns. They could not see it at all.
If you don't get enough bullets, you'll die.
Those who were still alive immediately regarded this as a terrible curse. Suddenly there were thousands of soul masters who could cast the curse, and such rumors spread among the army.
Although under the military orders, they had to continue to advance and charge towards the position. However, morale had dropped to the bottom. The soldiers in the front row continued to fall under the bullets, as if they would die inexplicably after crossing a certain line.
.
This weird scene almost instantly broke down the soldiers' inner defenses, and the continuous deaths put the legion on the verge of collapse.
The Duke of Red Dust's eyes widened and he looked at the scene on the ground in disbelief. He looked at Lan Nuo angrily. This was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the Red Dust Legion. On the surface, he said that he wanted to fight alone and stop all extraordinary powers.
Used among soldiers, secretly they have been equipped with super weapons that can kill one against a hundred. Now it is unrealistic to continue to use extraordinary power to influence the army, because the Duke of Red Dust clearly feels that his legion is in a
The strength that can be provided to oneself when one is on the verge of collapse.
In contrast, the Holy Dragon Legion's side is naturally one and the other. Although they did not defeat the enemy in a fierce close combat, the morale boost brought by killing the enemy with one's own hands is quite terrifying. Lan Nuo's release
The momentum that came out was so strong that the Duke of Red Dust could hardly breathe.
"No! If we continue, if the legion collapses, all that will be left is to capture prisoners! We must prevent the morale of the Holy Dragon Legion from continuing to increase, otherwise even if the reinforcements from the Sun and Moon Alliance arrive, I am afraid it will be difficult to win over the monsters in the sky."
Yue Hongchen gritted his teeth, bypassed Lan Nuo, and rushed toward the cannon position in the rear. As he rushed, he shouted: "Despicable enemy, who does not keep his promise and uses extraordinary power in the battle. My side
Go and destroy the source of their extraordinary power, everyone, hold on! Even if I die in battle, I will definitely destroy the source of the ancestral curse."
The general's example and promise to break the death curse immediately boosted the morale of the Red Dust Legion, which had hit rock bottom. The archers began to counterattack in the direction of the Holy Dragon Legion. Both sides were now without cloud protection, whether it was bullets or bullets.
The bows and arrows dealt real damage. As the rain of arrows fell and the Holy Dragon Legion soldiers in the front row were hurt, the frequency of shooting also began to decrease. The Red Dust Legion seemed to be launching a counterattack.
And Yue Hongchen rushed towards the cannon position at high speed. He naturally knew that the cursed heads were not these cannons, but as the coach, he had to do something. If he still faced off with the opposite coach in the air, what would happen to him?
Just defeat.
Destroying the defensive position of the giant artillery is very critical. If it cannot be destroyed, when reinforcements arrive, they will also be subjected to waves of ferocious firepower and will be weakened to a low point before they can engage in battle.
It's just that these defense towers are so easy to deal with. Not only the giant cannons, but also the Eiffel Tower and the Mayan Prism Tower launched attacks on him. Thunder and lasers fell on him first. If it weren't for
With his own strong defense and the huge power given to him by the legion, this series of attacks was enough to wipe him out.
Even if he was not wiped out, the heavy artillery fire that followed was enough to seriously injure him. However, weapons like giant cannons are not suitable for dealing with high-level strong men. Their reaction speed and movement speed are too fast.
, weapons with trajectories such as artillery shells can be avoided.
More than forty cannon shells did not hit Yue Hongchen, but passed him by. However, after these shells flew past, their flight trajectories became a little strange.
Lan Nuo was stunned for a moment, and found that the falling speed of these shells suddenly became faster. Even if they did not hit, the shells that should have landed in the open space in the distance, judging from the current falling trajectory, should actually land in the Holy Dragon Legion.
Without the protection of the clouds, these few shells were enough to kill tens of thousands of people on the plain. Lan Nuo had no time to think about anything more. He transformed into a stream of flames and appeared above the Holy Dragon Legion. The gun in his hand
The weapon transformed into a green umbrella, and the Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella suddenly enlarged under his control. After injecting huge soul power, the umbrella turned into a shield, blocking the legion's back.
Fortunately, Lan Nuo is ridiculously strong in his current state. The explosion bombarded the umbrella, but it didn't break the defense at all. After all, the Red Dust Legion's legion defense could block the attack. Lan Nuo had absorbed the power of the legion, so there was no reason why he couldn't block it.
live.
But Yue Hongchen’s death-defying Jedi counterattack also taught Lan Nuo a lesson. When he saw the Duke of Hong Chen attacking the defensive position before, Lan Nuo didn’t stop him at all. After all, Red Alert is a tower defense game, and the output capabilities of defense towers are
It is very high, and it is necessary to rush into the defensive position. In less than a minute, the light prism tower and the magnetic storm tower can blast Yue Hongchen, who has lost the source of cloud gas, into rubbish.
But I didn't expect that this guy actually thought of using the cannon shells to bombard the Holy Dragon Legion. The Hongchen family has the ability to control metal, and as the head of the Hongchen family, this ability is naturally more powerful than the ability to control.
The softness and hardness of the metal can naturally control the flight trajectory of the metal. It is also possible to force the cannonballs to exert a downward force and let them hit the Holy Dragon Legion.
Thinking of this, Lan Nuo suddenly realized something and shouted at the people in the front row of the legion: "Throw away your guns! Retreat to the back row, and the pikemen step forward to prepare for close combat!"
This order is extremely strange, but most soldiers will still subconsciously carry out the commander's order, so even if they are reluctant to part with it, most of them still throw out the guns in their hands. A few people who do not follow the order are reluctant to part with the guns in their hands and still snap the guns crazily.
When he pulled the trigger to shoot, the barrel of the gun suddenly deflated, and the gun in his hand exploded. Only then, these guns turned into a metal hedgehog. Those who did not let go had their hands pricked with blood.
dripping.
Of course, Yue Hongchen could control more than just cannonballs. After realizing the working principle of these metal pipes through observation, Yue Hongchen also immediately thought of countermeasures, crushing everyone's gun barrels at the same time. This consumes a lot of energy.
Very rarely, even without using the power of the Legion, he can do it without anyone interfering.
Originally, this move should have been quite effective in killing people, but unfortunately Lan Nuo's reaction speed was also very fast. When defending against the explosion, he had no time to take care of Yue Hongchen, but he immediately ordered the soldiers to throw away their guns. Only a few
Ten people disobeyed orders and were killed by explosions and deformed metal.
Bang!
Lan Nuo suddenly appeared behind Yue Hongchen. During the previous battle, he had quietly left the coordinates of Flying Thunder God on Yue Hongchen. In order to prevent him from continuing the exam, this time he appeared directly and instantly on Yue Hongchen.
behind him, and knocked him down from the air.
"How careless! But in the next close encounter, don't even think about having another chance to play any tricks."
