152. Preparation for the Elven Kingdom

In Lin Jue's hands, it was a finely crafted revolver.

When he went to Dawning City before, Lin Jue had spent money to set up an arsenal for Gerthia and recruited a large number of dwarven craftsmen from the Ice Plain Kingdom, and this pistol was produced from this arsenal.

I have to say that Jiang Quan is really a ghost, compared to him, Lin Jue always feels that he is simply the most failed traverser in the world, look at others, not only can build ships, but also force him to be in a hurry, even guns can be built.

Of course, the bullets in this gun are not paper shell bullets, but copper shell bullets, the reason why Jiang Quan wanted to make paper shell bullets before was that he was limited to the cage, and he couldn't get a huge amount of copper at all, and now the resources can be imported from Dawn City, so naturally there is no need to make this kind of low-cost bullets.

However, the current armed forces equipped with copper-shelled bullets can only be used by the 300 people who have been trained by the previous assault, and the other armies that are being trained still use paper-shelled bullets.

Bi Fang invited Lin Jue to come over today to inspect the army of three hundred people, the main purpose was to let him come to see the guns, three hundred people, each with two guns, one revolver, and the other is a revolver-type long-barreled musket, which is actually an extended version of the revolver, compared to the revolver, there is a long barrel, and a butt that can be placed on the shoulder.

Compared with ordinary flintlock pistols, revolver guns have an advantage, that is, they can do six consecutive shots, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, loading is much more troublesome than ordinary flintlock guns, after all, after six bullets are fired, you have to load six rounds at the same time to reload the bullets.

It is not difficult to solve this problem, each soldier has a bullet belt hanging around his waist, on which is hung, not a round of bullets, but a wheel stuffed with bullets, every time six bullets are fired, the soldiers will directly stuff another wheel magazine, eliminating the trouble of loading bullets.

At the beginning, Lin Jue always thought that this clever solution was proposed by Jiang Quan, but later he learned that the person who came up with this method was actually Bi Fang.

This made Lin Jue a little stunned, he didn't expect that this army commander had been completely unable to accept the musket army before, and in just half a year, he had completely accepted such a thing as a musket, and he could also put forward some creative thinking.

Each soldier has a total of ten revolver magazines, plus the original equipment in the barrel, a total of one, which means that in a battle, each soldier can shoot 66 rounds without worry.

In general, in the era of lining up to shoot, the number of bullets is absolutely sufficient, as long as the morale of this army is solid enough, no one can threaten the queue of line infantry.

Of course, there is also a very small probability that there will be an army that can still maintain an offensive posture despite 66 shots from the line infantry, and if that time comes, this army will have to ask for more blessings.

The commander-in-chief of this experimental force of three hundred people was also selected when Lin Jue went to Dawning City.

"Your Excellency Governor, my name is Liu Xun. ”

Lin Jue looked it up and down and nodded slightly.

is not tall and not good-looking, this is Lin Jue's first impression of him. But this person is very energetic, Lin Jue has been staring at his eyes, he has no timidity, his eyes are clear, just looking at Lin Jue directly.

It is said that the eyes are a window to the human soul, which is true, a person often does not dare to stare at the eyes of others, how much because this practice will make him feel empty-hearted, even if the person has not done anything bad at all.

After all, a person is a creature with extremely complex feelings, his expression can be disguised, but his eyes cannot be disguised, and he can look directly at a person, which is a manifestation of extreme self-confidence.

In the school grounds, this experimental unit is still training, changing formations, lining up to shoot, because the guns assembled are all revolver muskets, so the training program of Xu Jin shooting has been temporarily stopped.

Lin Jue and the others watched for a while, then left here and headed for the Governor's Mansion.

Going to the school to inspect the army is just a small episode, and the matter of Dawn City is over, and there is another thing to face.

It is to escort the tulips back to the elven kingdom.

This is a thing that has been determined a long time ago, and this time to go to the elven kingdom, in addition to letting Tulip pass on the dwarf's alliance response to the elf queen, it is also necessary to pass on the goodwill of the human race.

Although the alliance within the human race is not settled, the Eastern Continent is still dominated by Dawning City, and with the nod of the Yan Empire, it is already qualified to form an alliance with the elves.

Lin Jue's original intention was to bring this army of three hundred people to escort Tulips back to China, and the dwarves to bring hundreds of snow wolf knights to accompany them.

But this plan was rejected by Bi Fang.

The reasons are as follows: First, the army needs to march in the vast primeval forest, and send a line of infantry to the forest, but the queue cannot be used and can not play to their advantages at all. And the snow wolf knights are all cavalry, and the cavalry in the forest is probably not as good as the human infantry who can't line up.

Second, the enemy everyone has to face, but the jungle goblins, don't look at the previous jungle goblins attacking Phoenix City on the plains in a disorganized and chaotic way, but in the forest it is different.

The Jungle Elves have been living in the forest for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, and in this place, just like in their own homes, they may not know about the elves who live in the depths of the forest in this outer forest.

After discussing for a long time, their final decision was to recruit mercenary guards and send a team of magicians and sorcerers to accompany them, and the dwarves still sent a small team of snow wolf knights, according to their words, they were in the forest, compared to human knights, they had the advantage of height, and the agility of snow wolves, so they were not afraid of the jungle with intertwined branches.

The plan has already been decided, but it is not so simple to execute.

First of all, the mercenary quest was posted in the Mercenary Guild, but a week passed, and none of the mercenary groups were willing to take the task.

Secondly, except for the few magicians that Lin Jue could directly command, only a handful of magicians were willing to join this trip.

Lin Jue really couldn't figure out why they didn't take this task.

"What should I do?" Lin Jue looked at the reports in his hand in distress, without the participation of these adventurers, could it be that he really had to drive this line of infantry into the forest?
