Now that the deal has been reached, the dwarf Pierce is not playing any tricks, and asks very heroically, "Do you want to inspect my goods?"

Renard gave a disrespectful expression: "If it's convenient." ”

The dwarf Pierce didn't drag the mud and water, and took out the musket directly from the space ring, which is also similar to the shape of 98k, and it is brand new.

Of course, it is only similar in shape, but it is 108,000 miles behind in terms of power and range.

The dwarf Pierce raised his musket and gestured for a long time, and then boasted to himself: "The maximum range of this thing is 800 meters, the effective range is 300 meters, and it can penetrate a steel plate two millimeters thick within 100 meters." ”

He said proudly, "I can guarantee that even a high-level martial artist using a strong bow will not be able to reach this level. ”

Renard nodded, now that the deal had been made, he didn't hesitate to praise it: "This is indeed a murderous weapon, but the price is too expensive." ”

Each musket is worth six gold coins, which can be used to build half an infantry squad or two light cavalry.

The artillery is not to mention, two hundred gold coins, each artillery can arm two squadrons of light cavalry.

However, it is difficult to analyze the gains and losses, after all, the two classes have different uses.

If you look at it from the point of view of advancement, it must be that firearms are more outstanding, after all, this thing was a European knight who cried and shouted in his previous life, which directly changed the trend of world history.

However, what is embarrassing is that there is magic and vindictiveness in this world, and if you face a legendary warrior with an enchanted weapon, Lei Ye will only be beaten even if he gets a few tanks.

Therefore, firearms should be valued, and the cavalry infantry must not be slack, and the two can go hand in hand to ensure that they are not crushed by the wheels of history.

After inspecting the muskets, Pierce, the dwarf, led the group to the shop to inspect the artillery.

At this time, the transaction has been completed, and there is no intermediary here, and the other party turns around and leaves very interestingly.

There are several cannons on display in the dwarf Pierce's shop, which look very similar to those of the Napoleonic period, not too large in size, and certainly not too small, requiring at least three people to control.

These are all breech-loading guns, and they are smoothbore guns, which have a long service life and great power, but they are inferior in terms of accuracy.

The expression on the dwarf Pierce's face was even more proud, and he patted the cannon body and said: "See if this thing is there, a real strategic-level killing weapon can be loaded with solid bullets and can also be loaded with flower shells, and the longest range is 1,500 meters." ”

Immediately afterward, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know why the Alechoz dynasty suddenly collapsed?"

Renard pondered for a moment and replied: "Because of arrogance, and at the same time starting a war with the Six Nations, the battle line is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the dwarf Pierce immediately interrupted: "Those are just objective reasons, in fact, the root cause of the demise of the Alerhotz dynasty is the fiasco of the Battle of Blue River. ”

He stroked the cannon and began to tell the history: "The Alerhotz dynasty gathered 200,000 troops and displayed them along the banks of the Blue River to confront the 100,000 troops of the Kingdom of San Lorenzo. ”

"This battle was originally won by the Alerhotz dynasty, because in terms of numbers, individual strength, and well-equipped, it completely crushed the opponent. ”

In the end, however, it failed, losing a full 150,000 troops, and as a result, it did not even touch the hair of the army of the Kingdom of San Lorenzo. ”

Renard reflected and asked with some surprise, "Because of these artillery?"

Dwarf Pierce showed a teachable expression: "That's right, the Kingdom of San Lorenzo secretly purchased five thousand cannons from our Dwarven Kingdom, but the Olehoz Dynasty didn't know that their cavalry phalanx had completely become a target on the battlefield. ”

He waved his hand exaggeratedly: "Under the dense rain of bullets, even a legendary martial artist will only end up in pieces." ”

Reynard could imagine that kind of scene, and I was afraid that with a dozen rounds of covering bombing, the 200,000-strong army would be wiped out.

Thinking of this, he said to Ray Dawang beside him: "After going back, the speed of forming a firearms army should be accelerated, and the equipment will be completed before winter, and the army will be formed before the end of the year." ”

Ray Dawang knew the importance of this matter, nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I know how to do it." ”

Renard is indeed very relieved, because the Blood Knight Mercenary Regiment has a musket team of fifty people, and as the leader, Ray Dawang can be said to know firearms very well.

Lei Ye suddenly smiled and asked, "As the first commander of the Firearms Army led by Count Meredith, do you feel pressured?"

Ray Dawang showed a very rare expression, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I can only say do my best, after all, I don't have much experience in this area, but I am qualified enough for this position." ”

Self-confidence, composure, indifference to fame and fortune, noble character, and most importantly, not rejecting new things, this is the reason why Lei Ye chose the other party as the commander of the firearms army.

Renard took a deep breath and said, "The backbone members of the Firearms Army are drawn from the musket team of the original blood knight mercenaries, and the ordinary soldiers are selected from the militia and reserves. ”

After solving the matter of firearms, Lei Ye's work focused on weapons and equipment again, and with the continuous increase of the territorial army, there has been a big shortage of weapons and equipment.

The newly built Second Cavalry Regiment still has two battalions that are not fully equipped, the new Third Infantry Regiment has an even greater gap, and the Third Cavalry Regiment and the Fourth Infantry Regiment are still being prepared.

Thinking of this, Renard looked at the dwarf Pierce again and asked, "Your Excellency Pierce, do you have any cavalry equipment here?"

When Pierce the dwarf heard this, he seemed to be greatly insulted, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "You actually ask a dwarf if he has cavalry equipment? What is the difference between this and asking a woman if she can get pregnant?"

He flexed his muscles and said, "Forging swords is what dwarves do best, and firearms are just gadgets we invent when we're bored." ”

After saying that, he looked at Renard and asked, "How many sets of equipment do you want?"

Reynard thought about it, now feeding three cavalry regiments and four infantry regiments, plus the newly formed firearms corps and reserve soldiers and militia, was already the limit of the territory's ability to store troops.

Without intending to continue the conscription, he gave the minimum requirements: "Two thousand sets of infantry equipment, one thousand sets of cavalry equipment, five hundred sets of leather armor." ”

He made a surplus to ensure that new equipment was replenished in time after it wore out.

Dwarf Pierce thought for a moment and gave a very real price: "Five hundred bottles of blue enchantresses for two thousand sets of infantry equipment, six hundred bottles of blue enchantresses for one thousand sets of cavalry equipment, and two hundred bottles of blue enchantresses for five hundred sets of leather armor." ”

After speaking, he showed a skeptical gaze: "I wonder if you can take out so many blue enchantresses?"

Renard nodded with a smile and said, "Never underestimate others." ”
