After Becoming The Tyrant - Chapter 155
The light blue fog in the early morning seemed to be dispersed by the thunder like roar in an instant. All the birds in the forest flew up at the same time, and the birds were neighing in the sky.
The soldiers of Legrand sounded the bugle of death harvesting life.
“What’s that?”
The tower heard the squire Duna asked in horror. Their ears were full of gunfire, and flames lit up in the shadow of the valley trees on both sides.
The iron bullet came through the air. The Knights tried their best to control the horses, and at the same time they tried their best to raise their shields to attack the strange place. The roar of the horses and the scream of the Knights mixed together, and the narrow valley was in chaos. One by one, the Knights of the eternal Knights fell down from their horses. One by one, their blood splashed in the smell of sulfur and saltpeter.
“They have been seduced by the devil! These heretics
Some of the Knights of eternity roared in horror.
The sky is dark blue, and metal bullets come down from the jungle with a huge roar. The solid plate armor and exquisite and expensive lock armor are fragile beyond the imagination of the knights in front of these things with a huge sound. Waving their swords, they tried in vain to resist the attack from both sides of the valley.
“Lord, the cannon of Legrand Is that still a handgun? ”
Tarry couldn’t believe his eyes and judgment.
Handguns, like cannons, had appeared sporadically on the battlefield earlier. [1] Tali had seen handguns in the hands of military merchants along the coast of the hopeless inland sea. But nearly a meter long handgun was just regarded as a “novelty” by your people at that time.
The Lord is above! Isn’t handgun inferior to longbow and crossbow on the battlefield? Everyone knows that it is good for nothing but frightening the enemy!
Now, however, the handguns on both sides of the valley show a very different impression. The tongue of fire spewed from the heavy muzzle of the guns ridiculed by the traditional knights. With each flash of fire, the Knights fell one by one.
The muzzle of the gun lit up the faces of the rogrand soldiers buried here, and the muscles on each face were as taut as iron and steel. After firing the first round of mixed iron and lead bullets, the soldiers in the front row immediately withdrew to make room for the soldiers in the second row.
The bullets interweave to form a tight fire net.
The eternal knights, whose retreats are blocked by huge trees, are not the charge of unorganized knights to launch counter attacks, but they are met by cold iron bullets with huge sounds. The sound of hundreds of handguns shooting together almost broke people’s eardrums. The horses were more afraid of this nightmare attack than human beings. Before they rushed up the hillside, the cavalry broke up.
The tower had to shout, let everyone dismount, gather together, through the horses, comrades of the body, holding the shield formation of a defensive circle.
Almost all the eternal Knights subconsciously put their hands on the cross badge on their chest. These soldiers who once carried out cold-blooded and cruel massacres against the heretics again and again almost died at this moment.
Except for the tower, almost everyone is convinced that the Legrand must have accepted the invitation of the hell devil. Only with the help of hell demons, can they transform the handguns decorated with battlefield into ferocious scythes by means of terror and evil.
“The accuracy is still too bad.”
The Rogers brothers and Mr. Raul, the Minister of military design, who are identified as “complicity with evil” by the eternal Knight order, stand on a broad field of vision.
Minister Raul had witch glasses, and the Rogers brothers had pen and paper.
Minister Raul had a clear view of the battlefield in the valley with witch’s glasses.
The first military industrial department of Legrand moved out of hell before the war between hell and angels. Despite the help of the skeletons, the establishment of the military industrial sector is still too short. In the limited time, their improved handguns and cannons only had time to arm a small group of elite.
“The barrel is not stable enough, and the trajectory of the bullet is difficult to grasp.”
Minister Raul quickly pointed out the shortcomings of the current batch of gunpowder weapons while roughly judging various data.
“The stability of your newly developed powder No. 3 is worse than that of powder No. 2, but the power of the hand gun using powder No. 3 as filler is 10% stronger than that of powder No. 2 There was a burst in the “lizard” gun. There was something wrong with the radian of the gun bore… ”
When the two brothers, the Minister of military design and the chemist Rogers, were facing the bloody battlefield and making all kinds of records, the king was also examining the whole battlefield.
The eternal knights are worthy of the elite Knights of the Holy See. They quickly built a temporary protective wall for themselves with the bodies of their horses and companions. In addition to the shield’s resistance, the power of the hand gun which has not been completely improved at this stage has obviously begun to decline.
The king knew the result well.
At this stage, hand guns are not enough to cause real terror in the battlefield. Even if the valley was not too narrow, the retreat had been cut off by the king, and the number of the eternal knights had to gather together to become a natural target that even the blind could hit, the hit rate of the handgun would have dropped by more than 50%.Unless we go through more long-term research and wait until handguns are officially transformed into guns that are more convenient to use, the damage value of single weapon of handguns in this era is still lower than that of bows and arrows. [2] However, even the most primitive thermal weapons have incomparable natural advantages over cold weapons.
After the bow and arrow hit the enemy, it will take some time to cause exhausting internal bleeding unless it can take the enemy’s throat and kill him on the spot, as the Koya Archer did. However, the bullet made of iron and lead can not only penetrate the hard plate armor, but also break the metal armor when it hits the cavalry near the speed of sound. The fragments of the armor will form new uneven wounds in the human body, making the cavalry lose action power in an instant. [3]
as the handgun’s lethality to the eternal Knights gradually decreased, the king gave a second order:
“fire.”
The Gunners, who had been trained for a whole month, stood in front of a large caliber gun made of bronze, which was the only material they carried in this expedition. Now, it’s time for this bronze cannon named “blood rose” by the Minister of military design department to show its power on the battlefield.
The “blood rose”, which should have been used as a catapult to attack the city, was used by the king in the valley ambush.
As the ignition rope burned out, the gunpowder in the bronze gun bore was ignited, and the sound of artillery shaking the mountain forest sounded in everyone’s ears, “blood rose” was like an ancient fierce beast, and this fierce beast stepped on the stage of the world today, and it made the first warlike roar to the old times in the past – as if the whole mountain forest was shaking at that moment, and the leaves were falling Susu and down, birds scattered, people are cold liver and gallbladder.
The bronze muzzle erupted a dazzling flame, and the heavy shells developed by the madmen of the military design department and the gunpowder research department smashed into the defense circle of the eternal knights with fire and smoke.
The eternal Knights holding the iron shield didn’t even realize what was going on –
their ears were buzzing and dizzy at the moment when the guns sounded.
They are almost subconsciously looking for the source of the roar of the ancient beast, and at the moment they look up, they see the “meteor” falling towards them with the tail of the flame.
“Blood rose” burst into the center of the Knights’ crowd.
Dust, armor fragments, blood, human limbs
All these things were thrown high, as if the valley blossomed out of a bloody rose.
What kind of lethality does a shell that can blow through the thick wall have when it falls into the crowd?
Tali didn’t know the answer to this question before, but he knew it at the last moment of his life.
It was a horrible massacre like hell on earth.
At this moment, the wall made of flesh and blood was mercilessly torn to pieces, the shell exploded in the middle of the crowd, and the whole defense camp disappeared in an instant. Where the shells fell, the land turned bloody. The people who had stood there had turned into fragmentary corpses, and the earth was splashed with blood ink.
If the previous handguns only make them feel fear, then the “blood rose” blooming in the crowd is to completely destroy the cognition and reason of the eternal Knight order.
They don’t even know what’s going on right now, and the courage and force they’re proud of becomes worthless. They think it’s the Lord’s punishment for them!
These knights, who could set fire to heretic villages and towns, could no longer maintain their defensive formation. They either broke up like crazy, or threw away their swords, fell to their knees and gave up in a loud voice.
Moore looked at the king.
The cannons themselves and the shells were very heavy. They could not carry more when they came to help Jolin county this time. In fact, those just now were all the “night rose” shells they carried this time. In addition, after the eternal Knights did not gather together as they just did and began to flee, the aim of their guns became a problem.
The sun rises from the ground.
The sun swept through the trees and fell into a valley of blood and dust.
Facing the rout and surrender of the eternal knights, the king drew his sword from his waist and pointed down.
From both sides of the valley, the rogrand cavalry, who had blocked the ears of the horses early, surrounded the eternal knights with heavy casualties in the glare of the sun. No matter the escapees who don’t want to fight again, or the capitulators who put down their swords, they all meet the murderous cavalry and the cold blade.
The horses trod by, the swords went up and down.
This is the king’s answer:
– Legrand refused to accept the surrender of the eternal knights.
A tooth for a tooth.
Blood debt, blood pay.
The author has something to say: (1) the use of cannons and muskets in the early Middle Ages has been explained in the Military Industry Department of hell.
[2] Dupey, an American scholar, has calculated the theoretical index of weapon lethality in different times. The values of muskets and muskets are 10 and 19 respectively, which are far lower than 33 and 36 of crossbows and longbows. The performance of musket technology determines that its target on the battlefield is not an individual, but a dense group.[3] Zhang Yang.
