Chapter 177 Chapter 175: Fight and Win (This month's monthly ticket is 300 and more)
Luo Yi spent more than half a month preparing. Naturally, he was not simply arranging trivial matters in Auckland City, but also had many considerations for the safety of the trip.
Hiring the Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group at a high price is one of the arrangements, but given Luo Yi's personality, it is impossible for him to have only one preparation!
If you want to improve your combat effectiveness in the shortest time possible, nothing can compare to magic firearms and magic cannons.
So, on the one hand, he organized twenty magic apprentices and gave them intensive training to familiarize them with marksmanship.
These people all graduated from Philante Magic, and naturally they have practiced with magical firearms. At this time, they are more about getting familiar with it again, regaining the feeling, and training in formation.
As for the ten backbones on the railway, they have no magic power, but they are quite proficient in machinery.
Then train on the care, maintenance and fastest loading of firearms.
They can't be magic gunners, but they are good enough for logistics.
He even arranged basic meditation courses for the thirty people selected by Ang and distributed enough soul-soothing spices.
In other words, the time was too short for them to get started, otherwise, this magic gun team could continue to expand.
As for the source of these magical firearms, they were naturally obtained by Baron Miller from the Seventh Mixed Legion.
In name, they are all reported as damaged, but in reality, they are all 90% new.
Normally, this kind of thing is difficult to arrange. The imperial inspection is extremely strict, and if you are caught, you will lose your head.
However, the Seventh Mixed Corps even sent imperial soldiers to escort them, so these things were tacitly accepted.
Of course, Loyi was still not satisfied, and he paid more for some gold and exchanged it for a few magic cannons and enough shells.
Before that, he winked at Ange and Oliveira, asking them to take out what needed to be taken and assemble what needed to be assembled.
And then, we have this scene!
The collision between the knights of the old era and the magical firearms of the industrial era seems to be happening at this moment.
The horses' hooves rumbled, the knights were adorned with halos, and hundreds of knights charged forward with astonishing force.
Luo Yi could feel the fear of the magic apprentices beside him. Although they had received intensive training, they were not real warriors.
Without the baptism of war, it is naturally difficult to resist such murderous aura.
Luo Yi's heart moved, and the [Lion King] that had just entered the realm of martial arts was activated. His dark golden heart beat violently, his fighting spirit was consumed, and an inexplicable power began to flow throughout his body along with his blood.
Then, an inexplicable aura extended outwards. Although the area was not large, the magic apprentices and some mercenaries around were all enveloped by it.
At this moment, Luo Yi felt that he should do something.
So, he activated the magic cannon without hesitation.
boom!
With a loud bang, smoke filled the air, and the shells flew out, whistling through the sky and falling straight towards the charging knights.
Luo Yi is no longer just learning how to use a gun, his artillery skills have also reached a high level.
This attack accurately caught the tail end of the Knights' charge.
That place is the weakest position in the entire Knights Templar. Even with the halo, those knight apprentices cannot withstand the power of the exploding shells.
At this moment, Viscount Wild Boar reacted. He turned around almost without thinking and threw out his war hammer.
With a rattling sound, the war hammer bound with chains hit the cannonball directly, and exploded in the air with a bang.
Countless tiny steel balls exploded and turned into raindrops, falling down with a crackling sound.
At this time, the knight's armor came into play, blocking the splashing of these steel balls.
However, there are always unlucky ones who get hit hard on the eye when they look up and fall off their horses.
More often than not, the horses suffered, became frightened, and rushed forward recklessly, ignoring the riders' attempts to comfort them.
At this moment, Viscount Wild Boar's expression looked extremely ugly.
But at this moment, Roy laughed heartily. He looked at the people beside him and said, "Did you see that? This is the Knights Templar. These will all be swept into the dustbin of history."
So, what are you afraid of?"
It seemed that his voice was so contagious and powerful that the trembling magic apprentices calmed down.
Great courage filled their hearts, and all fear disappeared. Their hands stopped shaking, their minds became clear, and their breathing became steadier.
"Attention, at my command!"
When Luo Yi shouted, Ange had already quickly completed the work of cleaning, loading and reloading.
After Luo Yi lowered his head, he infused himself with magic power, aimed at the right direction, and fired another shot.
But this is not over yet, there is still the third shot, the fourth shot, the fifth shot...
In a very short period of time, Luo Yi fired five shots in succession, definitely pushing the speed to its maximum.
This magic cannon is almost brand new, with little wear and tear, making it the most useful time.
Looking at the Boar Knights again, in addition to the Viscount Boar, there are two third-level knights who have to take action.
With their fighting spirit unleashed, they brandished their knightly swords, slashing out fighting spirit blades in an attempt to block the shells.
The effect is naturally good. After all, it is a third-level one and not that fragile.
However, they not only exposed their whereabouts, but also slowed down the charge of the entire knight order.
At this moment, Luo Yi said: "Aim at the warhorse and shoot!"
"shooting!"
Bang bang bang bang!
A magic rifle is not a pistol. No matter how a pistol is designed, its effective range is at most a hundred meters.
Under normal circumstances, if you can hit the target at 50 meters, you are considered a good shooter. If you have poor shooting skills, you may not be able to hit the target even at 10 or 20 meters.
The magic rifle has lethality at a distance of a thousand meters, and its effective range is mostly around seven or eight hundred meters. Under normal circumstances, four or five hundred meters is the best range, and it has high accuracy.
At this point, the charge was halfway through, and the distance was only about four or five hundred meters, although it would not take long for a knight to charge.
However, the magic rifle can also fire several rounds.
The first ten apprentice potions masters fired their weapons. Then, they immediately squatted down, fired their weapons, and then took up their guns and activated them.
After the ten magic mechanical apprentices finished firing and squatted down, they immediately stood up, aimed, and shot again.
This happened over and over again at a very fast speed, and the gunshots were continuous, like popping beans.
In fact, according to the Habsburg Empire's manual, it should be three rounds of salvos, which can almost fill the gaps and achieve uninterrupted shooting.
But, Luoyi has no one to help, so this is all we can do.
However, they were not facing any of the famous extraordinary knights on the continent.
Viscount Wild Boar, after all, is just a rude viscount in the principality!
At this moment, the Extraordinary Knight's attention was attracted by the artillery shells above his head and he had to block them, while the bullets from the magic rifle hit the war horses.
Sigh!
Some of the horses in the first row were badly injured and fell down, bringing the riders with them to the ground.
Some were frightened, raised their hooves and neighed, and dared not move forward.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that although these war horses are well-trained, they are really not adapted to the loud noises produced by magical weapons.
At least, they had not undergone special training in the noise of gunfire, so at this moment, they were in chaos.
If it were an ordinary situation, it would be fine, but this was a charge on the battlefield. When the front row fell, they would naturally be trampled by the back row. Some horses stumbled and fell directly, tripping the people behind them.
Some stepped forward and continued to charge.
However, without their companions and having to face the muzzles of magical guns, their speed undoubtedly slowed down.
It is actually very important for knights to charge with all their might. If they lose their speed, they will lose the ability to crush everything.
At this moment, Luo Yi almost had an idea and shouted again: "Stop shooting, play freely!"
"Captain Xike, surround them! Quick, quick! Charge!"
Sik Francis didn't know why he was so obedient. Maybe Roy had brought him too many surprises these days.
Therefore, he swung his battle axe without hesitation and said, "Forward, forward, forward!"
"Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Roars were heard, and a group of heavy infantry began to advance forward.
Their speed was not fast, nor could it be fast, but they were well-trained and almost one person was next to another, with no gaps between them.
Then, with the shield in front and the spears passing through the armpits, they kept moving forward like a jungle of spears.
The distance between the two was not far to begin with, and at this moment, these heavy infantrymen had already arrived close.
If the spears were directly thrust into the knights' bodies, armor, or horses, they might not cause much damage.
But, as it approaches you, I just want to ask you, are you afraid?
These knights did not have the extraordinary strength of the third level, so they could not release their fighting spirit to sweep across the area; nor did they have the speed to charge, so they could not break through the forest of spears, and could only be driven to retreat continuously.
Not to mention, there were some brave magic apprentices who actually followed up with rifles and fired a shot out of the blue.
As long as the knights didn't have time to dodge and were hit in the vitals, they would die.
As for the third-level transcendent who was truly capable of turning the tide, he was naturally blocked by others.
Captain Xike swung his axe and fought a fierce battle with a third-level extraordinary knight.
At this moment, the 'barbarian' showed his strength. Although he was walking, he chopped down with one axe after another.
The extraordinary knight was forced to retreat step by step!
The other extraordinary knight was naturally Loy.
This man did not have the unreasonable magic armor and endless means of Viscount Wild Boar. Facing Loyi's phantom-like quick attack, he was at a disadvantage from the very beginning and retreated step by step.
As for the strongest Viscount Wild Boar, it was Oliveira who went up to meet him this time.
Oliveira at this moment, with gray hair, deep wrinkles on his face, and a vicissitudes yet firm eyes,
Everyone who sees him will say that this is a man with a story!
Viscount Wild Boar stopped charging right in front of him.
If Roy brought him surprise and disbelief, then Oliveira brought him horror and fear.
Yes, he felt deep fear of the existence of the same level.
It seems that if I really fight him, I will not only lose, but also die!
This intuition came out of nowhere, but Viscount Wild Boar believed it very much. Looking at the trapped knights around him, he finally made up his mind.
Woo woo woo!
The conch horn sounded, and the other knights received the order and immediately left the battlefield.
They were knights and fully armed. If they were determined to leave, Sik's infantry would naturally not be able to stop them.
The two extraordinary knights did not linger in the fight and left as quickly as possible.
When Viscount Wild Boar returned, he couldn't help but twitch his face when he saw that the number of knights was less than seventy.
In this battle, he lost both his face and his money.
From a distance, he took another look at Luo Yi and the second team of magic gunners who were preparing, and he finally lost the determination to charge a second time.
However, just as he was about to give the order to leave, something unexpected happened.
Also at the end of the road between the two mountains, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps, as if thousands of troops were galloping.
