Chapter 243: Weapon Generation Difference

"I can't see where the enemy is."

The patrol's Wang Cheng Lion Man's chest rose and fell violently, his back against the tree, and the cloth inside the armor was wet with cold sweat.

"This small hillside is not densely wooded, there are not many hiding places at all, they must be hiding farther away!"

"But isn't the effective lethal range of the musket within a few tens of meters?"

"That's because our gunpowder is not strong enough, Tomorrow City has a more advanced gunpowder formula, and the range of the musket is at least thirty meters farther than ours."

Wang Chengjun read the outdated information, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and suddenly looked at the forest in the distance, and retracted his head again, his heart pounding.

He was experienced and had determined the approximate distance difference with just two eyes, facing a distance difference of three hundred meters.

There is too much difference between the actual situation of the enemy and the description of intelligence, where is the difference of 30 meters, it is clearly the difference between tens of meters and 300 meters!

"It can't be within 100 meters, I've seen it, there is no hiding place nearby, there is a flickering fire in the distance, three hundred meters away." Veterans of perennial wars began to square.

At this moment, talking about arquebuses and musket phalanxes is all false.

No one wants to fight with muskets against a gap of 300 meters, not to mention that the enemy's headshot rate is frighteningly high, and at a glance, there are headless corpses in October 78, and only a small number of orcs have bullets in their chests.

Those invulnerable plate armor couldn't stop the enemy's bullets at all, and standing three hundred meters away, they still couldn't withstand the shot of a bullet, and the veteran looked sad.

"The era of swords has passed, and now it is the age of muskets, what is the use of swords that we have learned for so many years, it is not as good as the musket shooting skills that others have trained for months." The veteran muttered to himself, looking at the sword in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant he felt.

As for the arquebus on his body, he didn't look at it.

Why can't you look at it, because the accuracy is too poor.

Through the concerted efforts of capable craftsmen and craftsmen across the country, the hit rate of the arquebus within 50 meters is now quite acceptable.

But after more than 50 meters, the round buckshot does not know where to float, and as for the 100-meter hit, it is completely a metaphysical problem.

A 300-meter headshot like Tomorrow City, I'm afraid it's only in a dream.

"The musket manufacturing technology of our royal city is too backward, unlike Tomorrow City, which has been prepared for so many years and endured for so many years to take out the mature musket technology, and now it has risen from a distance of 100 meters to 300 meters, and the production process must have been upgraded."

The more the veteran thought about it, the more he felt that the road ahead was bleak, and Lionheart seemed to have no room for recovery.

Many blacksmiths in Wangcheng now think that the quality of Tomorrow City's firearms is too good, and it is definitely not the first generation of test weapons that have been made recently, but mature products that have been completed after hundreds of pieces have been eliminated.

A mature product like that has at least more than ten years of accumulation of heritage, and it is impossible for the royal family to surpass Tomorrow City in just a few months.

A few orcs hiding behind trees in the field waited for about five minutes, but they didn't hear the gunshots, and their hearts relaxed a little, wanting to take the opportunity to escape back to the camp.

"Captain, do you want to go back now?"

"You take off your armor and throw it out and give it a try." Said the veteran captain.

The lion man was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he understood what the captain meant, and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Jiang is really old and spicy, and the captain is smart!" ”

His subordinates quickly took off their armor, then threw it vigorously into the clearing.

While!

A black shadow flew into the center of the armor at lightning speed, and the bullet hit the metal plate armor, making a crisp metal crackling sound, which made the lion man directly stunned, and a fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Grunt.

The orcs had their throats rolling, and no one spoke for a long time.

Half a minute later, it was the captain who spoke, "Everyone stand by in place, there are legendary veterans in our battalion, they will not be caught with their hands tied, they will definitely find a way to break the game." ”

The lion people of Wangcheng nodded their heads, they were terrified at this time, but they could only trust the veterans in the camp.

……

Camp of the Wangcheng Army.

"Damn, a few minutes passed, and they shot again!"

Several old men paced back and forth in a small tent, looking anxious, but they did not dare to run out of the tent.

All they knew was that a few minutes earlier, about sixty percent of the patrols outside the camp had died, and dozens of exposed lionmen had died inside the camp.

This time there was a sudden gunshot and someone must have fallen.

After a while, someone ran into the tent and reported, "My lord, the direction of the shooting is outside the camp, and the sentry tower soldiers dare not look at it." ”

The old men rushed forward impatiently, "Is the direction determined, or is it the same direction?" ”

"Yes."

"Veblen, what do you think?" The old men looked at the oldest, whitest-haired old man.

Veblen stroked his white beard and said, "Take a detour and sneak attack them!" ”

"With an arquebus?"

"No, for the muskets to work, they must be lined up, but the enemy will definitely shoot us from a distance, we can't use it like that."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Before the war, everyone felt that they had the power to fight.

The muskets of Tomorrow City were at most twenty or thirty meters away from them, but now they were suddenly opened up by a gap of more than two hundred meters, and the available tactics were narrowed.

"Then let's take a detour and sneak attack, and we can only use sword weapons." They knew that arquebuses were not suitable for sneak attacks, so they had to press the plan for musket shooting.

"No, don't forget that there are animal eyeliners in the forest, and this is information that my subordinates exchanged blood for." Another old man spoke, and knocked the ground with a crutch, firmly disagreeing with the detour and sneak attack.

The old people's faces changed slightly, they almost forgot about this stubble, the nearby forests may be under the surveillance of Tomorrow City.

It was because of this in mind that I chose a place with fewer trees and relatively high terrain, which was convenient to drive away small animals, and secondly, to use muskets to fight high and low to have the advantage of dropping.

There is no way around this problem in the current tactical arrangement, and all strategies must take into account the difficult problem of animal eyeliner surveillance.

A few old people sat back on their seats, you look at me, I look at you, there is nothing you can do with Tomorrow City.

"Now we can only wait for the army to arrive at the barracks, and then rely on the number of people to push it over." Old man Veblen sighed, he really couldn't think of a good way.

As long as there is an animal eyeliner, any squad's actions will be known to the enemy in advance and ambushed in advance.

They don't want the warrior to make a senseless sacrifice, even if it is to give away a head, it must die worthwhile.

"So what about the soldiers outside the battalion, who are still hiding behind obstacles to avoid bullets."

"Send twenty soldiers, take a large steel shield three centimeters thick, and bring them back."

"Yes!"

After the old people finished speaking, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

In order to win the war of thermal weapons, they took the advice of the royal blacksmith and invested a lot of steel resources to make hundreds of steel shields with a thickness of three centimeters from the whole country.

This shield is so strong that ordinary arquebuses can't penetrate it.

Considering that the gunpowder formula of Tomorrow City is a little more advanced, the bullet power will be correspondingly larger, so the steel plate is made very thick.

When the orcs in the Wangcheng barracks began to move, Eren came to a high mountain seven hundred meters away with one shot and one shot.

Looking up, the summit of the mountain is very high, about a hundred meters higher than the site of the Lionheart Camp.
