Chapter 308: Cottage Musketeers (2)
The incomparably familiar musketeers on the opposite side continued to advance, but after continuous observation by everyone, it was obvious that they were still very different from their own side in many small places. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
First of all, their bust cuirass and helmets are basically imitated from the style here, but they are not completely copied, they are somewhat different in it, after everyone is familiar with it, it is estimated that they will be able to distinguish this kind of force next time.
Secondly, the muskets they held in their hands looked much heavier than those produced by the steel collars, and the barrel was not to mention a circle larger, and a few ugly iron hoops were added to it, which were put on the barrel.
"It is estimated that their barrel making technology is a little worse, and there is no new gunpowder we have here, so we can only make the musket so big that the power of the musket is basically satisfied. As the current head of the steel collar factory base, and the gray dwarf old Pluto, who is in charge of the chief technical officer, pointed out the shortcomings of the other party to the point.
Mo Duo nodded in agreement, thinking in his heart who had copied him, and the words of the Wizards Guild should be impossible.
Even if these people are now emerging from the middle army of the Wizards' Guild, but in terms of time, the Wizards' Guild does not have such a fast efficiency to train this decent-looking firearms unit in such a short period of time.
Then the biggest possibility is only the Roland Empire, the Roland Empire has not only suffered several big losses in its own firearms troops, but even the actual person in charge of the defense line of the highland forest, Count Leonardo, has repeatedly asked himself to buy muskets and other finished products and technologies, and the price has been sky-high.
After being resolutely rejected by himself, with the strong character of Roland IX, he naturally would not stop there, thinking of the many thefts of the territory, it was obvious that the Roland Empire had done the trick.
They must have the idea of imitating themselves, and now they have some results, and the small army in front of them must be, the soldiers of the Roland Empire wearing the vest of the Magic Guild, the purpose is probably that Roland IX has no bottom on such a copycat, and wants to come and try it!
However, even granular black powder is not so easy to imitate without a clue, not to mention that the most important thing is not the weapon at all, but the correct use of firearms by the troops.
"Since Roland IX you value it so much, then Lao Tzu will teach you a lesson, they all say that they taught the apprentice to starve to death of the master, but Lao Tzu comes from the world full of aircraft and cannons, and Lao Tzu fights for the development of the firearms army, and Master Modo can play until you are desperate. Modo gritted his back molars and thought viciously.
Then Modo gave a loud order: "The first and second battalions of kobold musketeers, and the first battalion of pig-headed grenadiers are out of the ranks and tell those humans that we are their ancestors when playing with muskets and bombs." ”
A horned eagle cavalry rose from the ground and quickly delivered the order, and then more than 1,200 kobold musketeers, plus more than 600 pig-headed grenadiers, ran out of the line of defense.
Although they were laughing casually on the surface, they were not slow at all, but in a few minutes, they came to the city, and quickly formed a neat formation, and began to move towards the group of copycat goods.
After several expansions, Modo also made normative reforms to the military system of the militia brigade, which was somewhat borrowed from the military system of the Celestial Empire army in the previous life.
Each squad has 12 chief and deputy squad leaders, each platoon is three squads, plus 38 chief and deputy platoon commanders, and each company is three main combat platoons, one supplementary platoon, plus orderlies and heralds, and each company has 160 men.
The last three companies formed a battalion, and the battalion headquarters personnel were only about 600 combat personnel, and of course there were some auxiliary units such as cooking squads, which generally did not appear on the battlefield.
Therefore, Master Modo sent three battalions of combat troops this time, that is, more than 1,800 people, which had a great numerical disadvantage with the cottage troops of 3,000 people on the opposite side.
But even so, with strong confidence, they stepped on a more neat pace, and gradually approached the copycat troops of the Roland Empire opposite.
The distance of more than two miles, under the continuous advance of the troops on both sides, was only a short time, and the two sides came to the appearance of an interval of about two hundred paces.
"Stop, stop moving, put the musket on the shoulder, start aiming. At this position, the commander of the Roland Empire's cottage troops finally gave the order to stop advancing, and the cottage musketeers lined up in three long rows raised their heavy muskets in their hands.
The three columns of musketeers were followed by two columns of grenadiers, who hurried to blow the arquebuses wrapped around their hands, and at the same time took out from the basket an iron ball bomb that was larger than the steel collar, and looked like they were ready to light at any time.
On the opposite side of them, the genuine kobold musketeers and pig-headed grenadiers are also the first three and second battle lines, the difference is that they have no intention of stopping at all.
In the monotonous sound of the officer's 'one, two, one, two', they just raised their muskets in their hands and walked in orderly steps according to the command.
One hundred and fifty steps, this distance is equivalent to nothing for the weapons in the hands of the musketeers of the Roland Empire, looking at the orcs who continued to advance, the commander of the Roland Empire did not issue any orders.
A hundred paces, this distance has entered the maximum killing range of the musket in his hand, but the lethality is not ideal, the commander of the Roland Empire groaned, and still did not issue an order.
Eighty steps, the weapon in his hand at this distance can already effectively kill and injure the other party, but why those orcs have not stopped advancing, the commander of the Roland Empire was a little distressed, but reason told him that he could not give the order to open fire yet, so he endured it to death.
Sixty paces, the copycat musketeers of the Roland Empire can basically see the appearance of the other orc, but at this distance, the orcs still do not stop.
"They're going to fight hand-to-hand? The commander of the Roland Empire finally couldn't take it anymore, and he shouted the order: "Prepare and fire." ”
The cottage musketeers of the Roland Empire, who had long been unable to hold back, breathed a sigh of relief, and then according to the training process, the three fronts pulled the trigger in their hands one by one.
Then they clearly saw that the kobolds on the opposite side suddenly fell under this wave of muskets, and this is not counting those who fell after being shot in non-fatal parts.
But even so, the monotonous 'one, two, one, two' command still sounded, and the orcs were still advancing......
