CHAPTER XXXVIII

The musket, the name of the weapon used to repel the rebels, was called the musket. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the era of magic, this weapon was not outstanding, first, because the cost was too high, and second, although it had a super fast rate of fire and extremely high power, but because of the long reload time, it could not be compared with the fireball magic that could be fired non-stop, so the technology of the musket was not popularized in the end.

Despite this, Vis used his financial resources to invest in a batch of muskets and equipped them with the magic swordsman legion. And this battle is the first time they have been used in war.

Three-stage shot, this is the name of the musket method adopted by Weiss, he divided the soldiers equipped with muskets into three columns, each column took turns to shoot, when the first column finished firing a bullet and entered the reloading state, the second column immediately followed by rapid shooting, when the second column was loaded, and then the third column fired, when the third column finished shooting, the first column of the reloading was basically over, and the second shot could be carried out, this cycle made up for the defect of the musketeer's long reloading time.

This was supposed to be the method that Weiss had developed to make the musket compete with magic, but even Weiss himself did not expect that this method of warfare called Sandanfeng could achieve such unexpected results, and the non-stop shooting suddenly collapsed the rebel cavalry who had achieved magic with the wrong musket.

"I didn't expect that a thousand musketeers could achieve such results. Bodiak, who served as the general's adjutant in this campaign, exclaimed.

"It's you, Lord Ves, but—" He continued, as if sorry for something.

"It's still too few, the only musketeers are the 1,000 magic swordsmen you brought into the central capital, Lord Weiss. ”

"That's enough, their role is nothing more than to demoralize the rebels, as long as they cause chaos among the rebels, their mission will be accomplished. Although it exceeded expectations, Weiss still guessed that a similar outcome would occur, but all he wanted was to demoralize.

"Moreover, the rout of the cavalry would also have a morale blow to the infantry that did not follow. ”

"Lord Weiss, please let me lead the troops into the enemy line!" Dolan, who had been silent, took the initiative to ask his master to attack.

With a smile and a nod, Vis granted his men's request, and then gave orders to the other subordinate.

"Bodiak, can you please lead the army into the enemy line as well?"

"Yes, my lord. ”

"Oh, by the way," Vess reminded, "that guy named Ta is a ruthless character, be careful, I don't want to lose any of you." ”

"Yes. ”

You can't be wrong, after hearing the loud noise, Tatsu immediately confirmed the body that made the sound. It wasn't magic that repelled the cavalry, though it was not clear through the fog that the Imperial army was moving.

Had he been so quick to use the musket as a substitute for magic? He had seen such a thing as a nobleman, and in Tat's memory, there was a musket in the glass case in the hall of his home, and he had been severely reprimanded by his father for playing with the musket before he had been kicked out of the house.

Yes, but what can a musket of that caliber do? It can only be used against a small number of cavalry, and we still have an army of nearly 50,000.

"Tell the order," he commanded to the herald beside him, "it's not magic, it's a weapon called a musket, there's no need to be afraid, as long as we kill the whole army, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”

From this point of view, Da is indeed a qualified commander, but that is only the degree of qualification, not good, let alone excellent, just qualified.

After the soldiers learned what the body of the loud noise was, the uneasiness that spread among the troops finally disappeared and was replaced by high morale, but this only dispelled the uneasiness in the hearts of the infantrymen.

The cavalry, which had returned from the rout at the front, was not affected, and still rushed towards the positions set up by the rebels in a mess.

It was not clear whether they had ignored the infantry's shouts to them, or whether they had been unable to stop the horses that had been galloping out of control, and the retreating cavalry crashed into the line of infantry, tearing a wide opening in this perfect line of defense.

"Is the order delivery a step slower?" Da was a little at a loss, but it was no wonder that he was just a small leader in a group of bandits, and he had no experience in commanding an army, but this time he directly became the commander of an army of 30,000, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to do anything.

"I had no choice but to go up in person. Da urged his steed and galloped towards the front.

How could the Imperial Army let go of such an opportunity?

By the tears of the defeated cavalry in the rebel army, the Imperial soldiers rushed in like a sea of mountains.

Unlike the Imperial Army, which was imagined to be made up of ordinary people, the Imperial soldiers were actually all criminals, no, it would be more appropriate to describe them as criminals who suppressed their desire to kill, and now that their desire to kill can finally be released freely, what will it be?

Without the slightest fear, with just momentum and a strong body full of strength, the Imperial Army, like hungry wolves, pounced into the sheepfold with the name of the rebel army.

It was only then that the rebels realized that it was not the Imperial Army that was inferior in terms of the quality of the soldiers, but themselves, and the Imperial Army was far stronger than themselves in terms of morale and physical fitness. After recognizing this fact, Da's morale, which had been regained with great difficulty, collapsed like a dam bursting its embankment at this moment.

Hell, there is only one word to describe the current situation, countless pieces of meat flying in the air, and that is not the number of people or two, but the number of dozens of people and hundreds of people. Brave Imperial soldiers, wielding their weapons, slashed at the fleeing rebels.

Countless rebel soldiers, killed by the swords in the hands of the Imperial soldiers. Although it was only a part, many Imperial troops were killed at the tip of the guns of the rebel counterattack.

Whether it's a bandit, a farmer, or a criminal, once you turn into a piece of meat, it doesn't matter anything.

Whether there is a family left in the hometown, a friend remains, or someone waiting to return, once it becomes the sludge of the earth, it doesn't matter anything, and war is like this, giving death to everyone equally.

I'm afraid there will be a lot of things like this in the future, Vis who stayed in the safety of the rear thought silently, but I will not give you any mercy or sympathy for you, but will only send you a prayer at the funeral, please rest in peace.
