Chapter 244: Actual Measurement

At four o'clock in the afternoon, both armies left the camp and lined up.

Gu Du once again took the lead, standing in the first row of the Rapid Wind Battalion, and he wanted to feel the power of muskets and artillery for himself.

Gu Du learned from He Jinsheng that muskets can only shoot directly, not like bows and arrows, so the front army is the most dangerous, and the strength of muskets is much greater than that of bows and arrows, but the speed of loading is slower than that of crossbows, and they are generally fired in two to three rows.

As for the range, the distance of a musket is one and a half times that of a bow and arrow, and the artillery is three times that of a bow and arrow.

However, artillery has little effect on battle formations and is more suitable for siege, so you only need to carry the priority range of muskets, or hand-to-hand combat.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Du waited for the times to change with peace of mind, if it was really like He Jinsheng said, the musket and artillery were not really sharp weapons, in the final analysis, it was still a narrow road to meet, and the brave won!

But whether it's true or not, you still have to experience it yourself, and it's best to grab some back, after all, the Dragon Kingdom is far away, and you can't expect it.

The shields of the Rapid Wind Battalion are all made of iron, Gu Du is tall, and he also wears iron leggings, but fortunately, he has great ability, and some extra weight will not affect anything.

On Chu Qin's side, the 2,000 people of the musket battalion were divided into four rows, and the teaching of the Xiong Ren Kingdom said that the spirit army was not proficient in operation, and the time to load the ammunition was too long, and when it was proficient, it could be reduced by one row, but it could only be reduced by one row, and if it was necessary to shoot in rotation without interruption, the two rows would definitely not be able to do it.

In this battle, Chu Qin mainly wanted to verify the power of the musket, whether it was really as powerful as Xiong Renguo said, such a slow loading speed, as well as the problem of overheating the barrel, and what kind of explosion, this is far worse than a bow and arrow, and the artillery is only suitable for siege, and it has very little effect on the battle array, and it is probably not worth exchanging such a thing for soul control, unless this thing can really pierce several people with one bullet.

Of course, if people stand there in a row and fight, Chu Qin believes that the musket will definitely be able to pierce several people with one bullet, and it can really be used in battle formations...... Hard.

Especially the opponent is Gu Du.

On the sea, Jack, the commander of the Bearren Expeditionary Fleet, ordered the flagship to be as close to the shore as possible, while he himself stood on the bow of the ship, watching the infighting in the Spirit Emperor Continent with a telescope.

Jack was extremely nervous because he was about to see a real fight.

In the annals of history, in the barbarian era, the bear country almost conquered this land with its physical strength, but it was blocked by magic, and this magic is not a legend, every sailor living in the present day can witness that it really exists, and it disappeared without warning.

However, the people living on this continent now are no longer able to conquer only by physical strength, more than a year of exploration has shown that there are a lot of skilled combatants in this land, they call this skill martial arts, and popularize martial arts into the army, and even more terrifying, some noble people also have a kind of nihilistic power, called spiritual power.

However, these are all reported by the people sent to investigate, whether this is really the case, it is still necessary to see is believing, and Jack sent someone to help Chu Qin form a musket battalion, he wants to see if Lingguo can rely on the musket battalion to win with an overwhelming advantage.

The war drums beat, and Gu Shan rushed to the enemy formation.

The first row of muskets fired, only a few people fell, Gu Du only heard the sound, but did not feel anything, this is what He Jinsheng said, although the power of the musket is very great, but the accuracy is not high, all the people who hit the people are stray bullets, basically, the people who are shot are too unlucky.

When the third row of muskets was finished and the fourth row was ready to fire, the Ze army had already rushed to within the range of the bow and arrows, and the five hundred soul troops roared and pounced, and the sky was full of feather arrows and fell towards the enemy formation.

Gu Du didn't use the Soul Army at the beginning, just to see the power of the musket, but unfortunately, the musket disappointed him.

Chu Qin was also disappointed, stood up and scolded: "What bullshit! Meet the enemy! ”

The musket battalion stood at the front, and when they heard the war drums hurrying, they all dropped their muskets, drew their horizontal swords, and rushed forward against the Ze army.

Chu Qin's face turned blue with anger, what is the point of this battle? The Spirit Emperor had not measured the effect of muskets and artillery, so he was in such a hurry to kill Gu Du, after this battle, the war resumed, and he didn't know what to do.

But the Bear People Country doesn't have any scruples, holding this kind of burning stick that only smokes, and still wants to invade the Spirit Emperor Continent? It would be nice not to hit his grandmother's house!

On the warship, Jack's body was a little stiff, Ze Jun's charge was too fast, the Spirit Army only fired three muskets, and Ze Jun had already shot arrows, at such a speed, even the soldiers of the Bear Man Country would fire it again at most.

Also, after the soldiers of the two countries rushed together, the fighting movements were not only fierce, but also fast and accurate, especially the tallest person who rushed in front, and his outfit did not look like ordinary soldiers.

He shot into the camp of the spirit army like a sharp arrow, and the strangest thing was that when the spirit soldiers who blocked him met him, they all seemed to be under magic, their bodies were stiff, their movements were slow, and they almost stood for him to slash and kill.

A chill arose in Jack's heart, could it be that this person is the kind of noble soul master with spiritual power that the envoy said?

Chu Qin stood on the handsome platform and looked at Gu Du, he was injured and couldn't face Gu Du head-on, Gu Du's palm was much more ruthless than the palm that hit Zhong Jinling!

Gu Du rushed to the place where the musket was dropped with a clear goal, swept out a space, and shouted, "Pick up the musket!" ”

Chu Qin frowned slightly, after the actual measurement, Gu Du still asked people to pick up the musket, could it be that York Shah had something to hide? Gu Du learned more important information from He Jinsheng? Or, what is Gu Du's idea?

But these are not important, what is important is, how will Gu Du go? It is impossible for him to take people all the way back to Zhenbei Pass, let alone fight alone with 30,000 people, and the only way is to take the sea route.

Chu Qin ordered: "Push two artillery pieces into the battle and send them to Zejun!" ”

The herald was stunned for a moment, and Chu Qin reprimanded sharply: "Herald! ”

Chu Qin's intention was to ensure that Gu Du took the sea route, the musket was light, and he would leave with it, but the artillery was extremely heavy, and if he wanted to evacuate with the artillery, he could only take the sea route.

On the sea route, there are warships of the Bear Man Country, and if the commander of the Bear Man Country is clever enough, he will besiege Gu Du, so as to show the sincerity of the alliance.

No matter what, if you can get rid of Gu Du, everything will still be meaningful.

Seeing that the two artillery pieces were pushed to the brink of the melee, Chu Qin ordered: "Guard! ”

The drums of war changed their rhythm, the spirit army quickly retracted, the pikemen followed the shield soldiers to rearrange the formation, and the archers drew their bows and released arrows to shoot at the front.

Gu Du rushed up to protect the range of the two cannons, and shouted loudly: "Push the artillery away!" Withdraw! ”
