Chapter 290: Test your hand and win the military power
"Not bad!"
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Luo Yin nodded with satisfaction.
With this spirit, at first glance, it is an elite soldier.
After Luo Yin made sure that there was no problem, he went to the train station with Morris. Some of his stuff had just arrived from Jombi City.
Morris looked at the boxes and boxes of things with eager eyes. Because he knows what this is, this is the weapon that Luo Yin can take down the three places of Tudogan!
After transporting all these things to Panshan City, Luo Yin asked people to open the box, and it was indeed filled with mandala-1001 and mandala-1002.
"My lord, are you going to arm all your soldiers?"
Morris asked respectfully.
"Yes."
Luo Yin nodded.
In addition to these mandala guns, they were accompanied by a number of musketeers from the Iris Company.
And just like last time, Luo Yin asked these musketeers to teach these soldiers how to use mandala rifles.
This thing is not difficult to use, it is better than their previous fire cap guns, and they can basically learn it.
The main thing that is difficult about guns is the accuracy. And these soldiers are trained by Morris, not to mention how accurate their shooting ability is, at least they are qualified, and that's enough.
While these soldiers were familiar with the firearms, the generals of the other seven legions also came to the royal capital.
Mavis took Hetty to meet them.
For Hetty, the new Minister of Defense, these generals are naturally very respectful. Don't talk about what you think in your heart, at least the surface work has to be in place.
Hetty didn't say much, she knew that most of these generals were not interested in her, and even a little unconvinced. But none of this matters, because Luo Yin said that he would help her deal with it.
After these generals came to the royal capital, they thought that they would see Luo Yin immediately, but they waited in the royal capital for a day and did not see Luo Yin's figure.
Everyone frowned a little, not knowing what Luo Yin meant.
But seeing that Morris didn't come today, could it be that Luo Yin is in Panshan City?
Sure enough, the next day, they got a notice from Luo Yin, saying that they were asked to go to Panshan City.
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and immediately set off for Panshan City again, including Hetty and Mavis.
After coming to Panshan City, he was naturally received by Morris.
Without any nonsense, Morris led them directly to the winding mountains. They met Luo Yin here.
"Mr. Luo Yin!"
Everyone saluted very politely when they saw Luo Yin.
Luo Yin nodded, and then invited everyone to a mountain.
From here, you can see the border town of the Saute Kingdom under the winding mountain.
Since the last time the city of Panshan was looted, the kingdom of Saute has begun to increase its troops here, and the civilians here have been driven away, and the town is full of soldiers.
After the news came out that Luo Yin's Rose Company had taken the three places of Tudogan, the Saute Kingdom directly sent another legion over. In other words, there are now two legions, with about 80,000 soldiers.
It can be seen that the Sauter Kingdom is afraid of the United Kingdom of Stokato, of course, it can also be understood that they are afraid of the Rose Company and Luo Yin.
"What do you think of the strength there?"
Luo Yin pointed to the town and said.
"Very strong!"
One general spoke, and the others all nodded.
….
With 80,000 soldiers, this scale is equivalent to the strongest First Army in the country.
"Are your legions sure you can take this place?"
Luo Yin asked again.
All the generals shook their heads, even Raymond of the First Legion. It is true that he has so many soldiers in his hands, but it is basically impossible to take this place, after all, people use defense instead of attack, and the attacking side is inherently at a disadvantage.
Without considering uncertain factors such as the use of stratagems, the strength of the two sides is about the same, so at least twice or even three times the strength of the other side
I can take this place.
According to the number of legionnaires in the country, except for the first legion, the number of soldiers in other legions is not large, only about 40,000 to 60,000.
In other words, if you want to take this place, you can only be 100% sure if you send the first legion and the other three legions! If you don't count the First Legion, then there are five Legions!
There are only eight legions in the country, about 400,000 soldiers, and more than half of the troops will be sent to attack this frontier at once...... That's not a good deal!
After all, it costs money to fight, and spending so many troops to take this place may not have much money spent.
And if you really want to send so many troops, it means that the rest of the country is empty, and maybe other countries will take advantage of the weakness.
So this is also why, after Morris took Panshan, he did not continue to advance towards the kingdom of Thorte, first of all, he couldn't push it, and secondly, even if he pushed it, it wouldn't be cost-effective.
The United Kingdom of Stokato and the small countries around it have basically this pattern of getting along. There may be a lot of friction between everyone, but there is really no question of who takes advantage of the big and who suffers.
Unless there was an accident, such as in the Yavar colony at that time, I met someone from the Frost Empire. If the Frost Empire chooses to attack the United Kingdom of Stokato, then Ken will definitely send several legions over to meet it, and in this case, the rest of the country will be empty, and the surrounding countries may seize this opportunity to take advantage of the weakness.
If there were no such accidents, then these countries would still have their own lives, they are all the same dish, and no one can help anyone......

And this gun to take the town of the kingdom of Sauter?
Could it be that the previous conjecture was true? Luo Yin was able to take the three places of Tudogan, really relying on weapons and equipment?
Everyone was thinking wildly in their hearts.
"This is my 10,000 soldiers, since you can't take this place...... Then I'll give it a try."
Luo Yin waved his hand, and Morris immediately walked out, also holding a mandala rifle in his hand.
"Over to you."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Morris commanded the 10,000 soldiers to divide into various squads, and then descended the mountain and walked towards the town of the Kingdom of Sauter.
He was very excited in his heart, he had seen the power of this gun in the past two days, and he was directly shocked at that time. With so many good weapons, are you afraid that you won't be able to take this town?
The other generals were also a little excited in their hearts, they had long wanted to know how the combat effectiveness of Luo Yin Rose Company was, but they had never been able to see it, and now they finally had a chance!
But is this really possible?
There are 80,000 people on the other side! And Luo Yin only has 10,000 people...... That's a huge disparity in numbers!
In addition to Hetty, the generals, including Mayvis, were worried.
Mayvis subconsciously shook Luo Yin's hand.
"Luo Yin, can it really work? If you really can't do it, don't force it, this is the lives of more than 10,000 people......
Mayvis's tone trembled slightly.
10,000 against 80,000, especially 10,000 or attackers...... No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning!
If these 10,000 people died, it would definitely be a dereliction of duty on her part as the prime minister, and she would not be able to escape the blame. If she hadn't known that she couldn't stop Luo Yin, she would have wanted to stop Luo Yin's crazy move a long time ago.
When Luo Yin heard Mayvis's distrustful words, he immediately raised his eyebrows and whispered:
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister doesn't trust me? I think the Prime Minister has been a little swollen lately! Even I dare to doubt it!"
「……」
….
Mavis is tempted to say, who is the prime minister?
But she didn't dare to say it, and now was not the time to argue about it.
"It's not that I don't trust you, I'm really worried about them......
Mayvis said helplessly.
"So what, let's make a bet. If my 10,000 soldiers can take this place, you promise me one thing unconditionally; If you can't take this place, then I'll listen to you from now on, and I'll bear the consequences of this alone."
Hearing Luo Yin's bet, Mayvis's eyes lit up. Then she was a little entangled, she didn't want these 10,000 people to lose too much, and she wanted Luo Yin to listen to her in the future, so she was entangled.
"Okay, I'm bet!"
Mayvis gritted her teeth.
Luo Yin smiled slightly.
"A word is a certainty."
Luo Yin and Mavis whispered to each other, and the others didn't notice it, they were all holding binoculars to see the situation below.
It sounds really incredible that 10,000 people defeated 80,000 people, but with Luo Yin's previous record of winning Tuwanduo, everyone feels that it is very possible.
And if it can really be won, then this is definitely a battle that can go down in history!
Most of the generals were excited, but First General Raymond was suddenly stunned.
Wait, Luo Yin invited them to come, is it really just to watch a war?
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
On the other side, Morris excitedly led the team out of the town. The town is bordered by winding mountains, and there is a lot of meadow here. Although it was winter, there was no snow this year, and the grass was still lush, and some of the grass rose to half a man's height. It's a natural camouflage barrier!
There was no strategy, Morris gave the order directly.
"Gunner, bombard the town indiscriminately, don't save ammo! The others hid in the grass and shot from a distance!"
"Yes!"
The order was quickly conveyed, and then
A "boom" of cannon fire was heard, and at the same time, various gunshots rang out.
On the mountain, hearing this voice, several generals had a look of shock in their eyes.
They all have a lot of combat experience, and basically when they hear the sound of gunfire, they can roughly judge how many soldiers there are.
But hearing this gunshot now...... They can't tell!
Because they saw with their own eyes 10,000 people going down to fight, but this gunfire was too dense! According to their experience, this should be more than 100,000 people!
But, so possible!
It's only 10,000 people!
How exaggerated is the rate of fire of this mandala rifle!
Luo Yin listened to the continuous gunshots, and his face showed a satisfied look.
The rate of fire of the Mandala rifle is about every shot in more than ten seconds, which is not the theoretical rate of fire, this is the actual rate of fire on the battlefield.
And the rate of fire of an ordinary fire cap gun may be one shot in two or three minutes. A particularly skilled soldier may be able to do it for a minute or so, but this is a rare existence.
In two minutes, that's one hundred and twenty seconds. That's a twelve-fold difference compared to ten seconds!
So to a certain extent, the firepower of 10,000 people is equivalent to the firepower of 120,000!
That's why the generals weren't sure if it was 10,000 people......
….
And that's not the main thing, firepower is just one of them. The main ones are: rifled shooting accuracy, shooting postures and so on.
In the town, the two armies of the Kingdom of Sauter stationed here were taken by surprise.
It's not about how many people they died, but this war came too suddenly!
Both sides obviously acquiesced, and no one will fight anyone!
Their town doesn't seem to be big, and they don't have any tall walls, but there are a lot of them!
No one really thinks that this is an ordinary town, right?
Could it be that Morris was replaced?
The men of both legions were confused.
But they are confused, since the war is coming, then they naturally do not coax.
There are more than 80,000 of them, and they are fighting at home, and the logistics supply is sufficient, but they can't beat the 30,000 or 40,000 people in Panshan City?
As soon as the generals gave the order, tens of thousands of soldiers immediately rushed out of the town and dispersed in formation.
Since there are many people, it is natural to take advantage of the large number of people.
If they are all stuck in the town, it is naturally not good, otherwise people will shoot down, and I am afraid that they will kill some unlucky people.
But if they come out to fight, it will be different, so many of them are spread out and occupy various advantageous positions, they want to let those soldiers in this Panshan City know what a sea of people is!
There is no moon today, only a few stars spilling faint starlight, but this is enough for them, after all, the poor vision is mutual, everyone can't see clearly, then there is no one who is superior and who is inferior.
But when these people rushed out, they were very surprised.
Hey? What about the enemy?
Why do they hear the gunshots, but they can't see the enemy?
The soldiers almost thought it was a prank, but as their comrades fell to the ground from time to time, they were told that it was not a prank, it was a real enemy attack!
Soon, the generals of the Sauter Kingdom were also stunned.
They have been receiving reports from their subordinates that they can't see the enemy, and they are being targets when they go out.
They didn't believe it, but when they got out, they found out that it was true! They can't see where people are!
It was one of the generals who had a good eye, and through the smoke of the night, he found a soldier lying in the grass in the distance.
"They're all lying on the grass!"
The general yelled.
And this voice made the soldiers stunned.
Doesn't it all have to stand up to reload? How do you load in the grass?
Did each of these people bring dozens of loaded guns? Throw a handful with a handful?
This is really beyond everyone's comprehension.
In their minds, the gun is a musket gun, that is, standing and loading to shoot. What the hell is lying on the ground? You can't load bullets when you're lying on the ground!
Faced with this situation, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even these generals don't know what to do.
Listening to the gunshots, there are definitely tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of them! And so many people are still lying on the grass shooting, they can't see where they are!
How to fight this battle!
Turtle retracting into town?
But the cannon on the opposite side bombarded the town as if it didn't want money, and the turtle would die if he retracted into it!
Charge?
That's even worse, they can't see each other's people in the first place, and if they charge now, they don't think they're using themselves as live targets—although they are now......
….
The generals tried several attacks, but to no avail other than leaving a single corpse behind.
And many people in the town have already been killed.
They also want to bombard the opposite side with artillery, but the problem is that they can't even see people, so bombardment?
With such a big mountain and so much meadow, who knows where the enemy is!
If it's daytime, at least you can see some smoke, but now it's dark, and you can't see anything!
"No, it's not the way to go on like this! We have to withdraw! Soldiers can't be sacrificed in vain!"
Someone spoke.
"Withdraw! We retreated directly to the city, where there are walls and there is no grass around, and the enemy will definitely not have the advantage that he has now!"
Everyone quickly decided to withdraw!
However, until the evacuation, the supplies must not be left to the enemy. I can only endure the pain.
Morris watched the fire fire in the town, and his face suddenly showed excitement. He knew that these people were going to retreat!
However, Moseley did not relax, and when the other party did retreat, he led someone to slowly touch it.
……
The gunfire in the distance faded away, and both Mayvis and the general were a little excited and nervous.
The excitement was because they saw with binoculars here that the people of the Sauter Kingdom had withdrawn from the town.
This means that the town has been taken!
And the nervousness is because people don't know what the specific outcome will be, and they don't know how many people have died. If it was won at a terrible price, then everyone would rather not fight this battle.
Because this town is useless to them, they can't cross the mountain and put the barracks here, otherwise supplies will become a big problem. The town itself has no resources, and the logistical supplies are burned, and even if they occupy it, it will only be an empty shell......
"Let's go...... Forget it, let's wait for Morris to come back."
Luo Yin wanted to say that he would go over and take a look, but when he thought about it, there was a weak chicken prime minister in their group...... So it's better to be steady.
When Mavis discovered this small detail, her heart suddenly warmed.
Morris soon returned, and brought back all his soldiers.
"Lord Luo Yin, I didn't disappoint you! We have conquered and taken the town! And the loss is very low......
Hearing Morris's report, everyone was a little incredulous.
Of these 10,000 people, only a dozen people died!
And the other party not only killed more than 1,000 people, but even lost the town......
For this comparison of numbers, Luo Yin expected that the equipment advantage was like this.
However, on the whole, the losses of both sides were not much, although the other side died more than 1,000 people, but they were full of 80,000 soldiers.
It's just that because they really couldn't find where the enemy was, they were afraid and retreated in advance, so more than a thousand people died.
If the other party really defended to the death, they would definitely not die this person, of course, in the same way, Luo Yin's soldiers would definitely lose a lot. No matter how advanced the weapons are, their armor is still similar to that of the other party, and it is not invulnerable.
"Awesome!"
The generals all sighed from the bottom of their hearts, and at the same time their hearts were extremely excited, if they had mandala weapons, would they also do it to this extent?
But before they could be happy, they heard Luo Yin speak:
….
"How's my soldier's combat power?"
"It's amazing!"
The generals subconsciously spoke.
Luo Yin asked again:
"Do you want this kind of soldier too?"
"Yes!"
The generals immediately nodded.
Luo Yin had a smiling expression on his face.
"That's right, these soldiers of mine have been handed over to Minister Hetty, and you will also take out some of the soldiers and hand them over to Minister Hetty, so that she can train and train will have this effect."
「……」
The generals are stupid, this is to let them hand over part of the military power!
If it was before, they would definitely be unwilling, but now that they see the combat effectiveness of Luo Yin's soldiers, who would dare to say a word?
"How much does Mr. Luo Yin think is appropriate?"
One of the generals asked stiffly.
If there are not many of them, he will endure it.
"Not much, just give half of it."
「……」
The generals' faces froze.
Half of the military power!
Immediately, some people wanted to disagree, but seeing Luo Yin's smiling face, he held back his words.
"No problem! Don't say half of it, it's all for Law—no, it's all for Minister Herty, that's as it should be!"
Morris was the first to step up and agree.
He had a bright smile on his face, and he didn't look reluctant at all.
Although everyone knows that Morris is Luo Yin's loyal little brother, with someone taking the lead, it will be much better later.
The others could only grit their teeth and say that it was okay.
To be honest, with the strength that Luo Yin is showing now, let alone let them hand over half of it, even if they hand it over all, they may not be able to do it.
If you hand over half of it, you will be considered to be ruined and spared disaster.
But that's not all, Luo Yin made some more demands that seemed excessive.
This made the generals' faces ugly again.
But Luo Yin's next sentence made everyone instantly excited.
"By the way, these mandala guns of mine are about to hit the market. It's not a lot of money, but if you want it, you can't sell it......
A mountain ghost who loves to laugh
