Chapter Seventy-Eight: Baron Sol Sends Troops
This kind of dense phalanx can be regarded as another platoon gun shooting formation that Ye Tianlong and they have figured out during the process of fighting and practicing during this time. The soldiers in the front row generally choose the best marksmanship, and immediately after firing, they hand over the flintlock rifles in their hands to their teammates in the rear, and then take the rifles that have been loaded in the rear and continue to fire, while the soldiers in the back rows are responsible for reloading ammunition.
The advantage of this style of play is that it can greatly increase the density of firepower, after all, because the soldiers no longer have to shoot in rotation in the formation of continuous advance and retreat, so they can stand very densely, and the rain of bullets when firing will become more dense, when Ye Tianlong and they need his soldiers to stay still, it is most convenient to use this formation.
And as Luo Chenguang and the others slowly approached, the big wild boar finally raised its head and looked at this group of two-legged beasts that came out of nowhere.
As an old wild boar that has lived for an unknown number of years, although its IQ is not as good as that of humans, its sense of killing intent is extremely keen, and at this time, it sensed a faint killing intent from the group of humans in front of it.
Already accustomed to being domineering, it immediately became angry, and decided to give these weak two-legged beasts in front of them a little color, so that they could learn to respect the forest overlord like themselves.
Luo Chenguang saw that the wild boar began to rush towards his own soldiers, and immediately asked the soldiers in the front row who were responsible for firing and aiming at the giant beast.
Then, as soon as the big boar was within a hundred meters, he loudly ordered to open fire.
Suddenly, with the dense gunfire of fried beans, a large number of bullets were fired at the big boar, and the bullets hit the layer of dirt armor on the surface of its body, and immediately smashed a lot of cracks into it, and in some places the dirt armor was even knocked down a lot of fragments. The huge force carried by the bullet also made the momentum of the big boar's charge unbearable.
Before the big boar could come to his senses, the armed militiamen in the front row had already quickly taken the flintlock rifles handed by their teammates in the rear, and then picked up their rifles and aimed at the giant beast for another volley.
This time, the dirt armor was directly blasted by the bullet in many places, revealing the swarthy skin with hard pig hair underneath. Some of the bullets even made shallow wounds on their skin.
However, the stinging pain from the wound did not make the big wild boar afraid to retreat, but instead aroused its ferocity more and more, and began to accelerate again and continue to rush towards Luo Chenguang and them.
At this time, the armed men in the front row had once again taken the third loaded flintlock rifle from the hands of their comrades behind them, and pulled the trigger again when aiming at the approaching beast.
This time, because a lot of the mud armor on the big boar's body had been blasted by bullets, most of the bullets were directly hit on its skin, and the huge kinetic energy carried by the bullets easily penetrated its thick and tough skin, causing several deep blood holes to be punched on its body surface, and blood was splashed on its body for a while.
This round of salvo shots obviously really seriously injured the big boar, but this fierce beast with a ferocious nature still had no intention of retreating, but continued to accelerate with red eyes, wanting to rush in front of Luo Chenguang and them before being killed, and knock and trample all these two-legged beasts that dared to hurt themselves to death and trample them to death.
In this way, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed to within fifty meters, and at this time, the armed men in the front row raised the fourth pre-loaded flintlock rifle, aimed at the bloody beast, and pulled the trigger again without hesitation.
Bang bang bang! After a series of gunshots, several blood flowers suddenly burst out of the big boar's body, and as the distance continued to close, the lethality of the bullets fired by the flintlock rifle became stronger and stronger, and many of the bullets fired this time were deep to the bone, and one of the bullets hit the big boar's right eye, which directly exploded its eyeball and then drilled deep into its skull.
The big boar, whose right eye was blown out, suddenly let out a terrible scream, and then staggered and continued to rush forward for a few steps, and the huge body suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.
After that, the big boar kept fluttering on all fours, obviously trying to continue to get up and charge, but the bullet that burrowed into its skull cavity was obviously a heavy blow to its brain, so the big boar struggled for a while and failed to get up, but in the process of struggling, it completely exhausted its own vitality, and was unwilling to lie on its side on the ground and completely die.
Luo Chenguang and the others, who had gained experience points, also immediately determined that this big wild boar was indeed dead, so they immediately sent someone to collect its essence and blood.
Although this big wild boar is not a strange beast, but after living for so many years, it has definitely reached the level of a top-level beast, and its essence blood can definitely refine a top-grade essence blood pill.
And just when Luo Chenguang returned to the camp with the carcass of this big wild boar, it was just in time for Ye Tianlong to send Jiang You to form a caravan and set off.
The main task of this caravan is to buy horses, after all, there are too few horses in the Nord Kingdom, and the quality is still poor, which causes Ye Tianlong to be unable to match his personal guards with a spare war horse.
Therefore, Ye Tianlong decided to send Jiang You to buy horses, and if he found some more powerful mercenaries in those big cities along the road, he could also hire them by the way.
According to the previous plan, the caravan led by Jiang You would reach as far as the Kugit Khanate, where horses could be said to be abundant and cheap.
And because of the long distance along the way, there will definitely be a lot of outlaws and even rebels on the way, so in order to allow Jiang You to reach the Kugit Khanate smoothly all the way, Ye Tianlong directly sent fifteen Kuset Khan guards under him to protect Jiang You's safety, and also sent Mama Cha, a horse expert, to help Jiang You choose horses, so as not to be cheated by those profiteers when he arrives.
To be honest, Jiang You is not the strongest team member under Ye Tianlong now, but because of his honest personality, he will carry out his orders to the letter, so Ye Tianlong finally decided to send him to lead the team to buy horses after comprehensive consideration.
"Old Jiang, take care all the way!"
Luo Chenguang, who had just returned to the camp, saw this and shouted at him. After this period of exploration, they have also determined that this world has definitely expanded a lot compared to the original riding and slashing game world, so if you want to reach the Kugit Khanate from here, it is likely to take more than a week, and this has to be a smooth journey, plus when the time comes to find and select the right horse all the way, this time back and forth, I am afraid it will take more than a month, so Jiang You's mission is definitely not easy.
However, this also proves that their captain Ye Tianlong really regards Jiang You as a cronie, otherwise he would not have handed over such a difficult and important task to the other party.
After hearing Luo Chenguang's shout, Jiang You turned his head and waved at him, and then he and Mama Cha sped up and quickly disappeared from Luo Chenguang's sight.
After sending Jiang You and Mama Tea away, Ye Tianlong seized the time and continued to start cultivating, after all, now the first batch of team members have broken through to Ming Jin's cultivation, if he doesn't work harder, maybe he will be caught up by these team members whose martial arts qualifications are not as good as his. What a shame it will be then! Therefore, Ye Tianlong decided that he would take some more time out to concentrate on cultivation in the next period of time, so that he could break through to the dark energy realm as soon as possible.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, just after Ye Tianlong had concentrated on cultivation for two days, the Baron Sol suddenly sent a herald and rode a fast horse to the camp to inform him that the Swadia Kingdom had taken the initiative to attack the Nord Kingdom.
In order to deal with the invasion of the Svadia Kingdom, King Ragnar of the Nord Kingdom issued a summoning order to the noble lords of all parts of the country, so that all the lords must lead their troops to the capital of Sagos and join the main army within ten days. Depending on the title and the size of the domain, the number of soldiers that each noble lord needs to send is also different.
For example, a small nobleman like Baron Sol, who has a low title, a barren territory, and a small number of people, only needs to bring at least twenty soldiers.
And if those fiefs were located in those large cities with large populations and prosperous trade, then they would have to bring at least two or three hundred soldiers.
However, Baron Sol had long been looking forward to using this big battle between the two countries to earn military merits, and he had made sufficient preparations in advance, so naturally he would not only bring twenty small soldiers to deal with the errand.
According to the herald, Baron Thor pulled out three hundred soldiers in one go, each with at least one piece of iron armor, and all kinds of weapons were well prepared, and one soldier had at least two sets of weapons.
And now there are only more than fifty old and weak militiamen left in the small town of Odasan, who were picked by Baron Sol.
In addition, Baron Sol also knew that Ye Tianlong's knight was bought by the other party with money, so he was only nominally his vassal, so he didn't force Ye Tianlong to follow him to send troops, but just asked Ye Tianlong to help take care of his territory during his expedition, so as not to let Odasang Town be broken by some outlaws during his expedition due to the lack of troops.
After Ye Tianlong learned the news, he immediately gathered his cronies and held a small meeting to discuss whether to send troops to participate in this big battle this time.
After discussion, everyone felt that they still had to participate in this big war, after all, this was indeed a good opportunity to earn military merits, but they had to make preparations before sending troops.
In the past two days, because of the need to make all kinds of new equipment designed by Luo Chenguang, the speed of Ye Tianlong's armor production in the real factory has slowed down, resulting in many of the armed men and prisoners of war under Ye Tianlong's command wearing that simple breastplate! Participating in such a fierce war between the two countries will definitely cost you a lot.
Therefore, Ye Tianlong and the others all felt that they had to at least wait for all the soldiers to change their outfits before joining the battle, and it was best to wait for the next batch of newcomers to be summoned before setting off. After all, Ye Tianlong is now an official first-level virtual world guard, and he can get a full hundred invitation places every week, and if the success rate of invitations is half, he can increase his own strength by fifty people at that time. And now there are only four days left until next week, and Ye Tianlong and they can afford to wait.
