Chapter 133: Upgrade, Ministry of Ordnance
Chapter 133 Upgrade, Ministry of Ordnance
Merlin calendar: May 10, 1950. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Adrien led two legions of the Kingdom of Custer across the border to pursue the Herman army!
On May 11, Adrien won a great victory, repelling the enemy for ten miles!
On the 12th, another great victory, Herman's army retreated fifty miles in a row!
On the 13th, the great victory continued, and the Herman army retreated directly for a hundred miles!
Along the way, although there were not many enemies, countless grains, grasses, weapons, and siege equipment were captured.
This victory, like a shot of stimulant hit the hearts of Caster's top management, Antonio, who was originally worried about Adrien's private lone army and pursuing the enemy, has also been full of spring in recent days, and the whole person is also proud of the court, and he is extremely satisfied with his vision.
However, Seoul, on the other hand, became more and more cautious in this streak of victories, and began to carefully and strictly inspect the caravans and pedestrians. And not only Joyce's intelligence commissioners did their best, but all the scouts in Seoul were also scattered, and all the wind and grass in the surrounding hundreds of miles could hardly escape Gretel's ears and eyes.
At the same time, in the corner of Seoul, one blast furnace after another is connected together, covering a large area, and next to the blast furnace, the sound of "clanging ......" is constantly coming!
And outside this piece of iron furnace, the sappers are building a wall, and Gretel, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others are gathered here.
Gretel's face was full of depression: "Before, crossbowmen, archers, infantry, cavalry, all equipment, rations, were given away for free by the system, why now that I am promoted to the general of the feather forest, these need to be built by myself......"
To say that Gretel's mood at this moment is even heavier than the dark clouds on his face!
The strength of the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms lies not only in their super strength, neat discipline, but also in their chaotic and powerful skills, and moreover, they are naturally inexhaustible weapons and equipment!
The armor was cut down? It's okay, enter the barracks and rest for a day, and the armor will be renewed.
The bolts are gone? It's okay, enter the barracks and rest for a day, and the quiver will be full of it immediately!
Injured? It's okay, enter the barracks and rest for a day, and the next day will be alive and well!
But......
Seemingly......
Now this benefit ......
His grandmother's is gone!!
Just after Jia Xu's ambush defeated the three armies that Ribis had come to the rescue, Jia Xu returned to Seoul, and the first thing he did was not to report his exploits, but to report that his crossbow arrows were about to run out!!
This is repaid, it is precisely because of this inexhaustible and inexhaustible weapons and equipment that Glitter can unscrupulously expand, fight, and crusade, and now that these are gone, wouldn't it be a great delay in his growth???
In this regard, Jia Xu thinks it is normal.
The system didn't ask for it before, and that was because Gretel's rank was too low at that time, and the title was not enough, which was one of the benefits for newbies.
However, Glitter obviously took this novice benefit for granted, so when he was promoted to the middle general of the feather forest, after a series of battles, he suddenly found that the novice benefit was gone, and the shadow area in his heart was immediately comparable to a Molton Province.
No, after Jia Xu came back, Glitter immediately asked the sappers to build a hundred blacksmiths, before he was still doubting the use of iron ore resources, stone resources, and wood resources in the system resources, but now, his suspicions have been solved!
These resources, which he originally thought were useless, were only needed when building new buildings, turned out to be the main resources for weapons and equipment building!
Gretel's face darkened, and he stood still, not saying a word.
When Jia Xu saw Gretel's expression, he naturally knew what he was thinking, and immediately took the initiative to say, "Lord, are you unhappy?" ”
Gretel glanced at him.
Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Lord, how about the equipment provided by the system for free?" ”
Gretel sighed, "What do you say?" Inexhaustible, inexhaustible, with these equipment, the strength of our army can increase by three points in vain, and with this endless supply, our army does not have to worry about repeated battles, but now, hey......"
How is this weapon and equipment a novice benefit, co-authored, I have worked hard for so long, and I have only left the category of novices......
Jia Xu said again: "Lord, although Weichen is shallow, he still knows some good weapons, Weichen will talk about it for the time being, please evaluate the quality of these weapons." ”
Glitter glanced at Jia Xu with slanted eyes, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Lord, there is a kind of weapon, there is no spear length, but at the tip of the part there is a sharp blade protruding horizontally, just like a lengthened sickle, this kind of weapon, from a long distance, can stab the enemy with the tip of the spear, in the face of cavalry, it can cut off the horse's leg horizontally, and the enemy is close, but it can stab out the weapon, and retract, with a horizontal protruding blade to kill the enemy from behind, the lord thinks, how powerful is this weapon?"
Glitter turned his head, looked at Jia Xu, and didn't speak.
Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Lord, there is a kind of crossbow machine, which is similar to the crossbow machine of the ironclad crossbowmen, but it can shoot three crossbow arrows at a time, and the power of the crossbow arrows is no worse than the crossbow machine of the ironclad crossbowmen. ”
Without waiting for Gretel's answer, Jia Xu continued, "These are just two of the more common weapons of soldiers, and the others include round shields, large shields, longbows, and short bows, while armor has light leather armor, copper chain mail, and iron full-body armor...... In addition to these, there are also large crossbow machines, catapults, fire-making weapons, siege ladders, siege vehicles, siege wells, and siege wells used in group battles......"
"Ahem......" Glitter finally couldn't help it, he coughed twice, interrupted Jia Xu's words, and pointed to the blacksmith furnace in the distance, "These, can the blacksmith furnace be made?" ”
Jia Xu nodded immediately, "That's nature." ”
Gretel breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, it's not a loss......
Jia Xu smiled and shook his head: "Lord, the loss, of course it can't be lost, the weapons and equipment are built by themselves, although it will slow down our progress to a certain extent, but the various conveniences it brings are more beneficial to our army!" ”
Glitter nodded, and at this moment, the system prompt suddenly sounded!
"Ding, the Ordnance Blacksmith Department has been successfully built, will it be integrated with the Ordnance Ministry?"
Glitter was stunned, "Fusion!" ”
"Ding, the integration of the Ordnance Blacksmith Department and the Ordnance Industry Department has been completed, and new technology has appeared in the Ordnance Industry Department!"
"Ding, leather boots, increase class movement speed by 5%!"
"Ding, leather bracers, increases class attack by 10%"
Due to the limited resources of Glitter before, all the limited resources were used to upgrade the barracks and the military aircraft department, so the current level of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry is still level 1, seeing the emergence of new technologies, although these technologies are a bit of a chicken rib at present, but Glitter can't help but lift his spirits.
"Raise the level of the Ministry of Ordnance!"
"Ding, in the level upgrade of the Ministry of Ordnance, since the host title is two levels higher than the level of the Ministry of Ordnance, it takes time to upgrade the level of the Ministry of Ordnance Industry, and the upgrade of the Ministry of Ordnance is complete!"
"Ding, new technology has appeared in the Ministry of Ordnance.
1. Refined iron crossbow arrows, using fine iron arrows, make the crossbow arrows have stronger penetration! Consumes 1 unit of iron ore for every 10.
2. The improved version of the crossbow machine, which modifies the crossbow equipment of the ironclad crossbowmen, speeds up the loading speed of crossbow arrows, and increases the attack speed by 20%. Each crossbow consumes 10 units of iron ore and 10 units of wood.
3. Iron armor, heavy infantry must be equipped, greatly enhancing physical defense. Each consumes 20 units of iron ore.
4. Iron Shield, a one-meter-long, seven-minute wide Iron Shield, long-range physical damage, cannot cause any damage before destroying the shield, and has a 30% reduction effect on magic damage! Each shield costs 30 iron ore.
5. Piercing spear, improved version of the spear, the spear head is sharper, the spear is three meters long, suitable for dealing with cavalry, infantry corps. Consumes 20 units of iron ore per stalk.
6. Ground thorns. Trap consumables that bury ground thorns in the target area, dealing massive piercing damage to enemies passing through them!. Consumes 1 unit of iron ore per 10. ”
The system's prompts immediately pulled Gretel's mood back from hell.
This is only the second-level ordnance department, if it is promoted to the third level, wouldn't it be more of a surprise, Gretel was about to continue to upgrade, but was immediately stopped by Jia Xu.
Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said to Gretel: "Lord, if we continue to upgrade, our resources will not be enough!" ”
Glitter was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Jia Xu meant, although now they have a large number of copper coins coming in every day, but these weapons and equipment are consumables, the weapons and equipment of the second-level ordnance industry, some of which are much stronger than the current ironclad soldiers, and now a lot of resources are wasted to build the third-level ordnance department, and some new and powerful equipment may appear, but the construction price is bound to double, and for the current Seoul, it cannot be popularized at all, so at this stage, these equipment are enough.
Moreover, seeing these equipment, a thought uncontrollably appeared in Gretel's mind. Since all the equipment can be crafted, and the number of troops you can lead is severely limited by your title, does that mean that you can recruit soldiers outside the system and equip them with these weapons and armor?
Although in terms of combat effectiveness, they cannot be compared with the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms, but they can play a great role in harassing the enemy with the false and the real.
"Report! Lord, the frontline detective returns to the horse! ”
Gretel's heart sank, "Say! ”
"Report to the lord, Adrien led a large army, yesterday, by the Hermann army suddenly counterattacked, due to the lone army deep, Adrien could not withdraw his troops in time, and is currently under siege, in danger!"
"Caster's two legions, what are the casualties?"
"Dead and wounded, about to be wiped out!"
"Haha, retribution, retribution, lord, let his mother's Antonio reuse Adrian, it's good now, hundreds of thousands of troops, all of them are folded in Herman at once, I see how many soldiers he Antonio has under him now, hahaha......" Xu Chu was the first to react, looking up to the sky and laughing, so happy.
But Glitter and the others were not as happy as him.
"Yuan Zhi!"
"Wechen is here!"
"I order you to take full control of the Ministry of Ordnance, and within three days, at least 200,000 crossbow arrows will be created." Although Glitter did not vigorously develop iron ore resources, the ore field established at the beginning has always played a role, so now more than a year later, some savings are still a little.
"Wenhe!"
"Wechen is here!"
"I ordered you to openly recruit troops in Seoul, and the number of troops should be about 30,000."
"Weichen takes the order!"
"Zilong, Ziyi, Zhongkang!"
"The last general!"
"30,000 recruits, 10,000 for each person, the three of you will practice as soon as possible, remember, these recruits will be different from our soldiers, you must teach them according to their aptitude, adapt measures to local conditions, and do not ask them to be able to give full play to the combat effectiveness of our soldiers, as long as they can exert the combat effectiveness of the lord level!"
"The last general commands!"
"The whole army is on alert, Adrien is defeated, Herman is about to counterattack, and my Seoul must be the primary target of his counterattack, you must step up military affairs to wait for the enemy!"
"Obey the Lord's orders!" (To be continued.) )
