Under Han Xue'er's soft grinding and hard soaking, she finally exchanged all the small silver coins and the worthless set of hunting crossbows and crossbow arrows for this worn-out old-fashioned arquebus, as well as the matching ten small barrels with an appropriate amount of gunpowder and lead bullets and a used arquebus.

Due to the complex operation of the arquebus, the gunpowder and the projectile should be separated, so the gunpowder and lead bullet are equipped with a small bamboo tube, and the amount of gunpowder and lead bullet in a small bamboo barrel is just the amount of one shot, in order to ensure that the gunpowder in the arquebus with very poor air tightness will not be damp, and the ammunition will often be loaded before the war.

At this point, Han Xueer hung a small bamboo tube on her waist and put a fire rope on her, which looked very funny.

Just when Han Xueer was worried about how to use this short-gun arquebus, the riding and slashing system gave a hint very user-friendly:

[I have detected that the crossbow weapon on your body has been replaced with a firearm, do you want to change the skill skill, the level 2 crossbow comprehension can be changed to a level 1 firearm beginner, and the level 1 firearm beginner can know the basic operation steps of the arquebus. 】

"Will my stats change when my skills change?" Han Xue'er asked cautiously.

[Of course not.] 】

"Then change it." Han Xue'er silently ordered in her heart, this kind of firearm skill is not just as simple as understanding the operation steps, it can be upgraded, with continuous upgrading, it is not a dream for Han Xue'er to become a sharpshooter, you must know that the scope of firearms is much larger than a crossbow, this kind of change Han Xue'er will naturally not refuse!

What's more, the lethality of firearms, even the most backward arquebuses, is not comparable to crossbows.

With the confirmation of the change in the riding and slashing system, Han Xue'er suddenly felt that her brain had some more knowledge out of thin air, although the common sense of crossbows had not been forgotten, the original increased crossbow 'feel' was gone......

There are losses and gains, and this may be the law of conservation of energy followed by the riding and slashing system.

After Han Xue'er skillfully loaded a lead bullet and a dosage of gunpowder into this worn-out old-fashioned arquebus, she looked at her results with satisfaction, this riding and chopping system was really magical, she had never even seen this old-fashioned short-gun arquebus before!

After verifying her gains, Han Xue'er's curiosity couldn't help but take over, listening to the tone of the weapon shop owner, the dwarven kingdoms in the north of the Germanic Empire had completed the popularization of firearms in the army, and the forging industry far surpassed that of the Germanic Empire.

How did the Germanic Empire, which was still in the age of cold weapons, confront the dwarven kingdoms of firearms?

"Boss, how is this kind of musket in the Dwarven Kingdom?"

"That's natural, although the power of this musket is not small, but the range is not high, and basically only one shot can be fired on the battlefield, and the loading is very cumbersome, so ordinary mercenaries don't like to use it, of course, the most important thing is that this arquebus can't break through high-quality steel plate armor, unless it is shot in the face at close range, but even the most daring dwarf soldiers on the battlefield dare not put the tall human soldiers in front of them to fire, this weapon is the dwarf kingdom that is not good in hand-to-hand combat will spend a lot of money to popularize."

"High-quality steel plate armor ......" Han Xue'er felt that the technology tree of the Karaouda continent must be a little crooked, in the history of the earth, high-quality steel plate armor could even defend against more advanced flintlock guns, and it could naturally make arquebuses ineffective at medium and long distances, but when did high-quality steel plate armor rot to the point that any mercenary could afford to use it?

"Boss, do you mean, in the war with the dwarven kingdom, the empire still has the advantage?"

The owner of the weapon shop glanced at Han Xue'er with a strange look in his eyes, and nodded affirmatively: "Of course, in the entire Karaouda Continent, except for the mysterious Noldor Elves, no one is an opponent of the knights of the Germanic Empire!"

In fact, it was only the armies of the northern lords of the empire who fought against the dwarven kingdom, and the emperor had been trying to form an alliance with the dwarven kingdom. “

Han Xue'er asked puzzledly, "Since the Dwarf Kingdom can make this kind of musket, can't it expand the power of the musket several times and create artillery?" ”

"Artillery? You mean the enlarged version of the musket, don't you? The reason why the dwarven kingdom has been able to hold on to the present without being destroyed is because they have arranged a large number of cannons in the city defense system, and the imperial lords do not want to fight with their precious knights' lives, so they rarely attack the cities of the dwarf kingdom head-on. ”

"Oh, I see." Subsequently, Han Xue'er couldn't help but get nervous, the musket was so easy to operate, even if the knights could ignore it, it would still be very useful in the battle of ordinary people, if the militia in Vida Town was equipped with this kind of weapon......

"This musket is still very powerful, are our militia in Vaderda equipped with this musket?"

Han Xue'er asked cautiously.

"Oh my God, how is it possible to equip the militia?! The cost of making this musket is not known to be many times more than that of a wooden crossbow, so that those miserly bigwigs will not spend a lot of money to buy muskets to arm the militia!

With that money, it's better to buy a few more sets of steel plate armor for your cronies' guards. I don't know about other cities, anyway, the militia in Vida Town doesn't have muskets, but the crossbows are very well equipped, after all, the price of crossbows is very low.

The dwarven race is all born blacksmiths, and the cost of handcrafting weapons and firearms is much lower than that of us human craftsmen, if the empire popularizes muskets like the dwarven kingdoms, it will definitely go bankrupt first, and the effect is not as strong as arming a few elites with combat effectiveness, after all, muskets are not a big threat to high-level warriors who are fully armed with the seed of power. “

The owner of the weapon shop seemed to enjoy Han Xue'er's inquisitive appearance, and explained a lot, pouring out all the reasons why he knew that the Germanic Empire did not advocate large-scale firearms......

After hearing this, Han Xue'er nodded her head thoughtfully, the individual combat power of the Karaouda continent is obviously a lot higher than that of the earth, and the real main battlefield soldiers disdain to use muskets, and the cost of using muskets in an army composed of ordinary people is too high, which leads to the attitude of the Germanic Empire not paying attention to firearms, perhaps, this is an opportunity for itself?

Of course, first of all, Han Xue'er has to take a step forward to understand how strong the warriors with the seed of power are the real pillars of the Germanic Empire!

Fortunately, Han Xue'er doesn't need to face the enemy with the seed of power for the time being, and in the battle of ordinary people, firearms are still quite powerful.

What Han Xue'er, who left the weapon shop, didn't know was that there were already a few more little tails behind their group, and under the afterglow of the sunset in Vida Town, it seemed that some people were no longer willing to be 'lonely'.
