Chapter Seventy-Two: Crude Firearms

Although Aurora dismisses the original firearm as worthless, this did not deter Emperor Egil from making up his mind to study this new weapon, as Aurora said, the greatest power of a new weapon is not how many people it can kill, but its deterrent.

The rapid projectile propelled headward at a speed barely visible to the naked eye, and then embedded deep in the flesh, and the soldiers were knocked into position before they could sense what was happening. With a loud roar, fire, and smoke, it all seemed to happen inexplicably - and then the soldiers died like this, what could be more shocking?

The source of the idea for the early fire system was a discussion in a scientific research institute. A medicine craftsman who researches big medicine weapons was appointed by Egil to develop big medicine weapons, and after a long time of thinking, he seems to have found some kind of idea. So he told his friend, a skilled blacksmith who also worked in a scientific institute and specialized in metallurgy and alloy forging.

The great medicine craftsman couldn't wait to tell his friend about this idea: "You see, when this thing explodes, it creates a huge impulse - although at first glance, the iron pieces and iron filings are not very penetrating. But that's because the explosion happened in all directions. The power of the explosion was gone. So it's not enough to form too strong a penetrating force. ”

"What do you mean?" asked the blacksmith, somewhat inexplicably.

"That's what I thought. "If we make a pipe of steel that is strong enough, and then put it in it and let it explode - then the gunpowder in other directions will be blocked." What do you think of the idea that the impetus for the explosion of the big medicine will be fixed in the direction that the tube is pointing?"

"Sounds good. The blacksmith nodded. Then he said, "You can give it a try -- that is, you want me to provide the kind of steel pipe that is strong enough?"

"That's right. That's it. The Great Medicine Craftsman nodded.

"Then, if you invent a weapon, you're going to have to give me a drink. The blacksmith laughed, and then said......

Thus, after a long period of effort and attempts, the first early firecrackers were made, albeit with a short range and not as powerful as expected. The quasi-head is more than the exquisite craftsmanship of the upper Norman Empire, but as a new weapon, the early firearms, this is rough. Bulky, recoiling, and with a very high failure rate, the big machine is still favored by Egil. And it was installed as an experimental weapon. A group of two hundred early firecrackers were recruited and placed under the command of Joan of Arc. This was the other day. The guns that Joan of Arc used to deter the armed forces of the Rus and Polish nobles. At the same time, Egil also exchanged his purity for a general who specializes in muskets. I just don't know for what reason I was recruiting. In the end, it was not a middle-aged uncle in heavy armor who practiced chivalry and loyalty and patriotism in the [Shinsh God Slaughter Edition], but a young woman with long golden rice hair in a Renaissance musketeer suit, holding a long-barreled back-loading hairlock.

Asami Basa.

This somewhat surprised Emperor Egil, staring at the other party's very full chest and looking at it several times, of course, in the end, Egil temporarily gave up "communicating" with this girl general. Although that very foul chest fascinates Egil himself.

Although some people are suspicious of this young girl, who has blonde hair, combed egg hair, large breasts, and looks as delicious as cantaloupe. But Egil had great faith in her - after seeing her character, of course.

Ba Asami: Basic Domination Attributes, Excellent General, Pure Royal +2, Military Academy Background, Pure Royal +1, Natural General, Pure Royal +1 A total of four stars. In addition, there are a series of firearms units that are pure and strong: Musket Talent, Musketeer Pure Royalty +1, Musketeer Commander, Musketeer Pure Royalty +1. Drill, +1 for Artillery Unit Dominance, Fire Commander: +1 for Artillery Unit Domination.

It can be said that this girl, who seems to be just very beautiful, should be the best person in the world, and who understands gunpowder and gun weapons combat - after all, this is a weapon that has just been born and is not yet a year old. In the history of the original world, modern firearms and artillery have gone through a process of hundreds of years from birth to perfection, and tactically from the auxiliary weapons of the Spanish phalanx to the dense firepower of the line era, three-stage shooting. to the free fire of the Napoleonic era, to the skirmishers of modern times...... , and the musket itself, also experienced early hand cannons, large arquebuses, lightweight arquebuses, tunnel guns, breech loading, rifling, and continuous fire...... , such a series of attacks. ...,

Egil was very pleased that with Cantaloupe, I mean Basumi, his gunpowder armed forces were able to automatically arrange the most suitable method of warfare without being too pretentious. If this were not the case, these early gunpowder weapons could really only be used as decorations.

And Egil didn't rush to talk to the cantaloupe, I mean Baami, because the battle with the Cuman Centaurs was too important. There is no room for error. Therefore, musket units, which are still in the experimental stage, should not appear on such a battlefield. This also made Asami feel very depressed. But. In such a big battle of hundreds of thousands of people, the musket troops can't help for the time being, but it seems that the musket troops can still participate in such a stable battle against the 5,000 men and horses surnamed Princy.

This battle of the nameless hills is the first official appearance of the Norman firearms unit!

The battle began because after entering the Norman Empire, Printhia's army was subjected to constant harassment by Norman soldiers. The Second Hussar Legion, led by the veteran general Qi Teng, was reduced to pieces, and a small number of professional cavalry, led by light cavalry temporarily recruited from the nobles of Eastern Europe, were thinking about attacking Príncipia's army day and night, which annoyed and demoralized the centaur soldiers. Well, they wanted to pursue, but because the terrain was familiar with the opponent, the speed of the horses was amazing, and at the same time, they would bravely leave some soldiers behind the palace when necessary, so they could not be resolved, and even later, the centaur soldiers would fall into the trap carefully prepared by the Normans, and suffered heavy losses.

In this way, by the time it was still two hundred kilometers away from Krakow, this centaur army had lost nearly 700 soldiers, and the wounded centaur soldiers were only 1,000, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of this army, and made these brave centaur warriors lose most of their courage to fight.

Seeing that this exhausted army had reached a critical point, Joan of Arc felt that if it continued to attack like this, the other party might be discouraged and flee directly. This wasn't what she wanted to see, and Joan of Arc, who had returned to the army, was in desperate need of a hearty victory to prove her abilities, even though her Tsekha had been successful before. But it was General Qi Teng who specifically commanded on the front line. Therefore, the nobles in the army inevitably gossiped a little, thinking that the current victory was brought about by this irascible old general. And not this fast-ailing supreme commander.

Therefore, in this battle, Joan of Arc decided to go out in person - after the surname Princy, and most of the centaur troops were unstoppably angry by the crazy commotion, a hundred fat cavalry led them to this hilly terrain that had already been prepared, and then as if they had been chased several times before, those fat cavalry quickly disappeared from the sight of the centaurs by virtue of the familiarity of the terrain, and what was different from the previous was that these fat cavalry led the centaurs into the trap carefully designed by Joan of Arc!

With the sound of a horn, a large number of Norman soldiers appeared in the woods of the hills around the centaurs! They were armed with hunters, compound bows, javelins, and even wood and stones, and these weapons rained down, causing the centaurs to become extremely confused, and at the same time, some of the soldiers sealed several lowland passes with trees, stones, and some haystacks that allowed the centaurs to move back calmly, and then a burst of rockets fell from the sky, igniting the haystacks, and causing the centaurs to be surrounded and killed.

However, in the face of such a shock, the centaurs reacted quickly, rather than being completely powerless. Under the command of Princy, the centaur soldiers raised their shields to protect their heads, and some drew their bows and arrows to attack the Norman soldiers on the hills, but such a counterattack seemed futile, and the losses of the Norman army were negligible...

"Surrender! The Normans will receive you as you are!" " Then Joan of Arc, who was sitting on the wheel and dressed in a white nun suit, shouted to persuade the centaurs to surrender.

"Never!"

Although he knew that he had fallen into the trap of the other party and was in danger. Principia, however, still thinks she has a chance to fight her way out. After looking around, the centaur lord, who had gained enough strategy from his father, found a weakly defended place, though the soldiers there were heavily armoured. But under the offensive of the centaurs, they are not impregnable.

"Soldiers, let's break through!" Printhia ordered, pointing to the gap. Immediately afterward, the centaurs who had already completed their formation rushed towards it. Although the hills with a little vegetation slow down their speed. However, Printhia believed that this elite group of centaur lancers would still be able to complete the task - but for some reason, the soldiers in full plate armor suddenly raised their black iron rods in their hands, not knowing what to do....... )
