Five hundred soldiers suddenly pulled the iron piece inside the iron retainer at one end of the wooden handle. Suddenly, a bright fire burst out from the exit of the iron pipes, and at the same time there was an earth-shattering explosion.
The other soldiers at the top of the city were startled. When the noise subsided, the soldiers lay on the top of the city to check the results of the battle, only to find that a large section of the charging Baiyue people below the city had fallen.
"What is this!" The city guarding officer was shocked, "I only saw a flash just now, and I didn't even see clearly what was launched. I just killed so many Baiyue people... Is it possible... this
hour……"
Zhang Hongchuan was a little proud, "This is the new weapon developed by the Duke, called a musket. In the entire ****, only the five hundred people under my command are equipped with it. This thing is extremely difficult to make, and there is no way to mass-produce it until now."
, so it can only be equipped on a small scale to individual teams.”
The implication is that we are the elite among the elite, so of course we should be equipped with this kind of thing first.
The officer guarding the city had a sour face, but he still felt extremely happy in his heart, "Good thing, good guy, this thing is easier to use than a broad-feathered arrow. Be careful, they are still charging!"
"The Musketeers are ready!" Zhang Hongchuan shouted again.
The soldiers suddenly pulled a small protruding iron pillar on the iron pipe, revealing the dark magazine inside, and filled it with the brass-colored bullets in their pockets. Su Yin originally planned to make the musket into a semi-automatic loading weapon, but this kind of
The manufacturing process is too complicated, and the requirements for materials are also more stringent, so we can only make this kind of bulky gun that fires one round and loads one round from the breech.
But even so, in terms of firepower and rate of fire, it is much better than bows and arrows. What is even more rare is that this kind of thing only needs to pull the bolt, and it does not require too much physical energy when aiming, unlike bows and arrows.
, once the bow string is drawn, the muscles must be tightened to aim at all times until the moment the bow and arrow are released. This is also a great liberation for the physical strength of the soldiers.
In the second round of volleys, the soldiers' hit rate was obviously much better. A larger group of Baiyue people fell to the ground. The officers of the Baiyue Self-Defense Force on the ground also saw that there was something wrong. If they just beat like this,
If they go down, I'm afraid that when they reach the top of the city, more than half of their own people will be killed.
"Retreat temporarily, the opponent's weapons are very powerful." Officer Baiyue waved his hand suddenly, and the attacking soldiers suddenly stopped. In fact, they had been waiting for this sentence.
What kind of thing are they using? Normally, when facing their broad-feathered arrows, raising a shield can block at least half of them. But today, the soldiers attacking the city raised heavy shields, but those shields were easily blocked by those arrows.
A terrible projectile penetrated the soldiers' bodies.
What's even more frightening is that these projectiles fly so fast that the flight trajectory cannot be seen at all, and there is no way to talk about evasive actions.
"Get out, get out!" the soldiers shouted.
A strange thing that has never been seen before suddenly appeared on the battlefield. If it still seems like they are reunited, it is really not worth imitating the kind of thing that a fool does.
"Sir, we have won!" The soldiers at the top of the city cheered, "The musketeers of the Ninth Army Corps have won the first battle!"
