Chapter 104: The Stunned Archer
Originally, Mo Xuan planned to equip these light infantry with some special weapons, such as: flashbangs, smoke bombs and the like. But these things are very simple to make on the earth, after all, the earth already has a complete industrial system, but there is no here, but there are no substitutes, such as: the scroll of the flash technique, the scroll of the fog technique, etc., but it is very difficult for these scrolls to be equipped for them, and the materials made are very simple, after all, they are not high-level spells, why are they not equipped properly?
The archers watched with amazement as the chariots received their equipment, the heavy infantry, the light infantry, and even the sparse sentries received their equipment, only they were still waiting, waiting・・・・・・ why not me!!!
Finally, the lovely Aldridge stood on the stage: "Next, the archers will select two hundred people to receive weapons and armor, and the rest will receive armor first." ”
The high-level secrecy of Blaze City did a pretty good job of not revealing the news of the new weapon. So the archers didn't know what weapons they were going to receive.
Two full brigades of two hundred archers were selected, and the remaining archers watched with envy as their companions followed Aldridge to collect their weapons.
Of course, the remaining archers also had weapons, but these weapons were only armed according to the basic equipment of the Kingdom of Mali.
Because of the new weapons, Mo Xuan didn't care about the equipment of the archers, because he knew that after a while, the equipment in the hands of these archers would be eliminated, but in order to appease the hearts of these archers, Mo Xuan still made some equipment that he didn't like to arm the archers.
To say that the equipment of the archers is not bad, and it can be regarded as a sophisticated weapon in the kingdom of Mali, but they have seen the weapons and equipment of hoplites and other weapons, and in comparison with their own hands, they have every reason to believe that the bows and arrows in their hands in the face of chariots and hoplites may only leave a white mark on the armor.
With the comparison, there is a gap, so there will be unwillingness, they are also thinking hard, what is it that they have not met the lord's standard, and the situation that they have not received a good weapon now, is it because their hearts are not firm? The captains of the archers discussed for a long time and felt that this reason was still reliable, thinking that they were preparing to mix up before they came, which was completely different from other troops who would fight for Flame City.
Recognizing their own shortcomings, these archers, who had already become extremely greedy, decided to correct their attitudes and make sure that the lord could see their hearts. It's just that they seem to have forgotten that there are still two large groups of archers who followed Aldridge out and have not returned until now.
It didn't take long for Mo Xuan to know what happened in the archer camp, and Mo Xuan smiled very happily, it would be nice if this kind of thing happened a few more times.
In a remote camp outside the city of Flame City, two hundred archers were solemnly raising their weapons and aiming ahead, although they had already tried very hard to Wen Emperor's own arm, they were helplessly excited and could no longer do their usual calm.
Just a few quarters of an hour ago, their hearts were still uneasy, they didn't know what weapon they were about to receive, what their future would hold. It wasn't until they arrived at the remote camp that Adridge told them the truth that they would have a new weapon, the repeating crossbow.
Hearing this name, their hearts were half cold, what is a crossbow, a beginner's sharp weapon! He can make a farmer become an excellent killer in a few quarters of an hour, but as the soldiers of the original Arrowstone Fort, they are also the elite carefully selected by the Mali Kingdom, their skills are superb archery, and they are also among the best in the Mali Kingdom, equipped with a good bow, and they are definitely killers on the battlefield if they shoot twenty arrows a minute.
But what weapon are they going to hold now? Crossbows? This weapon that winds up slowly to death, and can only shoot horizontally, is really their weapon in the future! A feeling of insult filled their chests.
However, after experiencing the training in Flame City, they can already do a good job of the basic quality of a soldier, and they can only hope in their hearts that this weapon called the repeating crossbow can bring them surprises.
"Bang dang. Aldridge put the weapon in his hand beside him, and then let out a sturdy knight in full armor beside him: "This is your weapon from now on, and you will train in Lucas's hands during this time, this is your instructor." ”
Suddenly, the other half of the archer's heart was also cold, the knight is the representative of the frontal impact, the eight virtues of the knight make them admired by the people, but the knight is the person who hates the ranged profession the most, because whether it is an archer, a magician or a spearthrower, the knight can damage the knight before actually approaching them, so the knight has not been treated for the ranged profession.
Let a knight train them, and it's the knight's most hated crossbow, oh my! Your lord, you're playing with us!
The archers, who had been trained in strict discipline, began to scratch.
Aldridge left after introducing Lucas, Lucas was the only one on the high platform, Lucas frowned in the face of the chaos below, and then picked up the repeating crossbow next to him, and reached out to remove a strange magazine from his waist and attach it to the crossbow.
Through the gaps during the installation of the magazine, we can see that the crossbow arrows in the magazine are engraved with strange patterns, and the patterns glow with cyan light, as if the wind element has been activated.
The special crossbow bolt installed by Aldridge is a special crossbow made by alchemists and dwarven blacksmiths, they first carved a magic array on the crossbow, and then loaded the crossbow into a special magazine, the special feature of this magazine is that it can charge the crossbow, of course, charging is to pay energy, in order to save space, the charging circle on the magazine is connected to the magic crystal on the crossbow.
In fact, steel is a demonic metal, yes, they are very repulsive to the elements, but a small locking circle carved on the crossbow can solve this problem, the locking circle is just a single-function circle, and the role is only to lock the elements and prevent them from circulating. However, the effect of this magic circle is very poor, only about a minute effect, which can be said to be extremely chicken, but it is a match made in heaven when it is engraved on the crossbow arrow, because the crossbow arrow will never take more than a minute from the time the crossbow bolt is launched to the time it hits the target or until the potential energy disappears and falls to the ground.
The same crossbow is a non-mass-produced weapon, which consumes too much manpower and material resources, and can only be made in small batches for special situations.
This was a special case for Lucas, so he looked condescendingly at the archers who began to scratch with disdain, and then he pulled the trigger two meters in front of the archers in the front row.
Raising the crossbow and sweeping, the ten crossbow bolts hit a beautiful fan, and the blue crossbow bolts drew beautiful rays of light in the air, and then made a violent sound after touching the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom. "The crossbow is only a low-level wind system magic array burst magic circle, except for making a violent sound, there is no effect, so the crossbow is still well inserted on the ground, although the magic is released, but the crossbow is not damaged in the slightest, it can be seen that the power of this magic circle is extremely small.
But the violent explosion shook the archers who were a little scratching, and the archers in the front row were under Lucas's nose, and they didn't dare to make the slightest move, so they all stared at Lucas.
Lucas took the repeating crossbow and they saw it, Lucas loaded the magazine and they saw it, Lucas pulled the trigger and they saw it too, and then they saw the blue light of the crossbow.
So they were all stunned.
