In response to such a request, Owen reluctantly said that the advantage of rifled guns is indeed stronger than that of smoothbore guns, but according to the number of bullets consumed in each battle, if all the guns of the musketeers are replaced with rifled guns, the supply of Minne ammunition will inevitably be insufficient.And without bullets, no matter how powerful the musket is, it can only be used as an ordinary iron rod.If you use the current lead shot, it will be difficult to fit into the barrel.It may be necessary to equip each musketeer with a small hammer to get the lead bullet in, which is extremely laborious and time-consuming.If the volume of the shot is deliberately reduced, the rifling will not work because there is a gap between the bullet and the chamber.The lead bullets fired will greatly reduce both the rate of fire and the accuracy, so it is better to use a smoothbore gun.Therefore, at the moment only good musketeers like Viscount Jarvis and members of the shooting squad can be equipped with rifled guns, allowing them to play a greater role on the battlefield.In order to appease Viscount Jarvis's disappointment, Owen quietly revealed to him that he was "developing" a new musket called the breech gun.Not only did the musket drill into the rifle, but it was also able to reload from behind.In order to solve the problem of airtightness of breech guns, it was necessary to manufacture bullets wrapped in metal casings in large quantities.The design drawings of the machine needed to make metal cartridges have been given to Geeta, who is solely responsible for building them.Luckily, the best material for making bullets is copper from the mines of the Trans-Mountain Range, and there is no shortage of them in the border towns.As soon as he heard the new musket, Viscount Jarvis was immediately interested.To be honest, after using the musket for a while, he also felt that loading from the muzzle was too time-consuming, and it would be nice to have a more convenient way to reload.The breech gun in Owen's mouth made Viscount Jarvis have infinite reverie, and it is indeed much more convenient to be able to load bullets from behind.As a result, the interval between shots can be greatly reduced, and the constant pressure of fire can make the enemy miserable.Loaded with bullets, Viscount Jarvis raised his musket and aimed his ruler at an undead monster.Just as he was about to shoot, the target suddenly stiffened and collapsed.Oh?
was actually killed by someone else.The undead monster was hit in the head by a bullet flying from the side and fell down, indicating that it was shot by a member of the shooting team who also had rifled guns.Interesting, let's compare who is better at marksmanship!
Viscount Jarvis couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.In the eastern part of the city wall, Maddie is also aiming at the target with a ruler, and suddenly realizes that his target is always shot first by other musketeers."
Huh?"
He licked his lips and grinned.Is this a desire to compete?
I don't know who is in the shooting team, it's kind of interesting, it's better than whom, who's afraid of whom!
As Viscount Jarvis was obsessed with musket shooting, Owen had taken over command of the battle a little over a month earlier.As the lord of Frontier Town, Owen was supposed to be the Supreme Commander.It's just that because he has no experience in commanding soldiers in battle, he can only be commanded by Viscount Jarvis at the beginning.Of course, if special circumstances arise, Viscount Jarvis will still help direct the battle.Plus, there's Ray.As the captain of the second Templar team, he would also assist Owen with some advice.After so many battles ahead, Owen also learned a little from Viscount Jarvis how to command battles.As the battle continued, the number of undead monsters continued to decrease, and new movements appeared in the north."
Attention!
A new undead monster has appeared!
”The scout shouted a warning.Viscount Jarvis looked up and looked at it with a solemn expression."
It's finally here."
On the snowy sky line in the distance, a large group of large undead monsters suddenly appeared and rushed over, about fifty of them.In addition to the carrion boar that I had seen before, there were also carrion bison that were about the same size.Speaking of which, this is how they broke through the walls last winter, causing great damage to the border town.Holding the long sword that emitted white light, Bray looked serious and immediately ordered, "Templars, assemble!"
”The vacancy that arose as a result of the assembly was immediately filled by the militia on the side.This group of guys must not be allowed to bump into them, and Owen immediately gave the order."
Artillery group, see the opportunity to open fire!"
The commander pointed the cannon in the direction where the group of large undead monsters appeared, and the firing angle was also adjusted to the highest.Seeing the opportunity, Blue waved his arm: "Fire!"
”Bang bang bang!
The four guns roared one after another, firing iron balls one after another, falling thousands of kilometers away, hitting the target group.After firing, Blue instructed his team to quickly clear the chamber and prepare for the next shot.A carrion boar that was hit by an iron ball fell to the ground on the spot, kicking up a large cloud of snow, and its huge body was smashed, and it was impossible to even get up.And the follow-up missiles also had a great impact on the undead monsters behind, and some large undead monsters were smashed off one leg and could not maintain a forward attitude.It is with such long-range attack capabilities that it is possible to reduce the number of enemies as much as possible.Viscount Jarvis and the members of the shooting team also raised their rifled guns, ready to snipe at the group of undead monsters from a distance.After the baptism of cannonballs, the sniping of rifled guns, and the greetings of ordinary muskets and crossbows, most of the large undead fell on their way.Only six carrion boars rushed towards them, getting closer and closer to the walls.Maybe it's the thick pigskin that allows them to withstand such firepower.At that moment, the Templars gathered by Bray formed a triangular formation, facing the direction of the six carrion boars.Raising their swords, they prayed to the gods, and the holy light on the sword turned into a little starlight, rising into the air and gathering again.Soon, a white lightsaber of more than twenty meters took shape, which was a large-scale magic exclusive to the Templars, the Holy Sword."
Fall!"
Standing at the forefront, Bray swung his long sword forward, and the huge lightsaber fell, slashing straight ahead.The carrion boar at the front was cut in half, and the other five were scattered.Immediately afterward, Bray manipulated the giant lightsaber, turning it sideways and sweeping it to the left and right.Three carrion boars were successfully eliminated, and the last two were also cut off with two forelimbs, making them unable to pose a threat to the city walls.The giant lightsaber dissipates and the big magic ends.Bray gasped roughly, it seemed that this large magic was not only mana-intensive, but also physically demanding.Immediately after, the musketeers raised their muskets and fired at the last two carrion boars, completely destroying them.Successfully preventing more than fifty large undead monsters from crashing into the city wall, what a dazzling feat!
The tragedy that happened at the end of last winter will not be repeated this year.Seeing all this in front of him, Owen had mixed feelings.
