Chapter 195 The invasion of the city and the birth of the breech-loading gun

In Skler City, in the elegant Vrana Palace complex, the somewhat fat Archduke Ansos kicked over his favorite chair and roared madly:

"Trash, they are all trash! Idiot nobles! Stupid Wind God Church! I￥@#...!"

Jewelry, gold and silver utensils, furniture, works of art... After smashing many valuable ornaments incompetently and furiously, Anthos slumped on the ground helplessly. He could vaguely hear the shocking sound of shelling and cast a spell.

The sound of chanting curses, the sound of swords fighting...

One month ago, Salt cast a spell to pretend to be Edgar, put on Edgar's equipment and weapons, deceived him into opening the gate of Talodan City, and attacked and killed the unsuspecting Archbishop Morane at close range.

The warriors dressed as church troops guarded the city gate, and the army of Asshai warriors took the opportunity to cover up and destroy the city. The defenders, who had lost the city defense and command, were like fish on a sticky board, ready to be slaughtered.

Under the slogan of "surrender without killing", the number of the Yaxia Alliance Army once again increased by more than 200,000...

Strategies to alienate people, kill with borrowed knives, counter-empty city strategies, lure tigers away from mountains... I can only say that John learned the art of war very quickly and very well.

At this point, the defense line of Ott Province was broken, and Salt led an army of more than 90,000 warriors and 250,000 auxiliary troops to penetrate directly into the city of Skler, which was under the king's control.

Along the way, Salt followed Zhong Ming's "ingenious plan" to beat the nobles and distribute food.

Except for the extraordinary knights under the command of a small number of nobles, who have no worries about food and drink and live a happy life, how can any standing army have no family members to support?

The standing army was barely able to provide enough food for one person, and after the "war tax" was added, their families would not be able to live well either.

Therefore, Salt can be said to be wherever he attacks, there will be "internal support" and there will be people "happy to welcome the king's master".

The attitude of the nobles of Andreouia is also very subtle. Before the Ot province fell, they had tried their best to prepare supplies of food, grass, and troops, and worked eagerly to fill holes in the front line, working hard for the king at all costs.

After all, saving the principality means saving yourself.

But since Salt began to dominate the royal territory, the attitude of the nobles has become a bit subtle.

Not only has the level of support plummeted, but Salt's marching camp has often been brightly lit recently, and there are many inexplicable gifts and greetings that need to be counted all night long.

The resistance of the administrative officials of the royal domain was far less tenacious than that of the nobles who guarded their fiefdoms.

At first, these bureaucrats would pretend to resist. Later, when they saw that there were so many people running away, they simply stopped pretending. Before the Yashai army arrived, these officials had already packed their belts and ran away...

The most embarrassing thing is the small group of nobles left over from the original Devonshire.

Originally, there was a war between Yaxia and Andreouya. These little nobles who were forced to move by Zhong Ming were extremely excited. They shouted that they would help the principality "conquer the lost territory" by bringing their own dry food. They rushed to the front and fought the hardest.

They cooperated with the reinforcements sent by the principality and defeated the little standing army left by Zhong Ming.

But as the situation became more and more unfavorable, and the reinforcements were withdrawn to support the defense line of Talodan City, they became more and more uneasy... Something was wrong with this situation, and the principality was about to end!

Do you still want to fight? For a while, these diving rebels were embarrassed here...

Salt had no doubt that as long as the status and territorial power of these unscrupulous nobles were promised to remain unchanged, most of the nobles would defect on the spot and stab their old employer in the back.

It’s just that I am just a wage earner, and I can’t promise anything without Zhong Ming opening his mouth.

Moreover, according to Salt's observation, his master had a very strong desire for power in his heart, and he actually hated the nobles' enfeoffment of their territory.

Skele City is worthy of being the capital of a country. Despite the erosion of thousands of years, its defensive power is still so amazing.

A tough protective circle with no blind spots, a city wall so tall that even a first-level mortal could not touch it even if he jumped up, a city battlement full of demon-breaking bows and crossbows...

The city has sufficient food and grass, and the 400,000 defenders are well-equipped, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Salt stood on a hilltop, watching from a distance his deputy John directing the allied forces to attack the city.

Since discovering John, a military prodigy, Salt only feels that he has freed his hands and can fish for souls on the battlefield.

After successive battles, Salt relied on the resentful souls on the battlefield to greatly increase his strength, reaching the mid-level of the third level, which made him fall in love with war.

After all, no matter how much the devil deceives people's souls, he can't come as fast as the battlefield.

On the city wall, soldiers brandished swords and guns and defended the fortress with their lives.

Under the city, the allied forces charged desperately, behind them was a team of 10,000 warriors who had just replaced their breech-loading guns.

After these days of consumption, the magic artillery and the magic circle were on the verge of being scrapped, and both parties tacitly chose to stop using them.

It has to be said that Ford is indeed a rare industrial wizard. With the help of Zhong Ming's vague drawings, he created a breech-loading gun. However, Ford was not greedy for credit, and the title of inventor still fell to Zhong Ming.

.

This rifle is named Yaxia Type 01. The barrel is made of steel, with a total length of 140 cm, a caliber of 0.9 inches (2.3 cm), and a weight of approximately 8.6 kg. It is engraved with mysterious patterns.

The stock is made of high-quality purple birch wood (produced in the Jueling Mountains), and the top of the stock is equipped with a front sight (low-quality glass) for easy aiming.

The gun has a smoothbore design, that is, there is no rifling in the barrel (industrial level is not enough). It uses round-head bullets and has an effective range of only 90-100 meters.

There is a breech block inside the barrel, and a bore bolt is used to connect the powder barrel and the barrel.

There is an open muzzle at the front end of the barrel, which supports unloading magazines.

There is a shell extraction mechanism on the breech block, and the shell in the gun chamber can be pulled out through a switch.

It is also equipped with an iron spear that can be used in close combat.

It’s a typical silly, big, black and thick design, and these 10,000 pieces were hand-made by craftsmen. The time was too tight and too short, and the assembly line didn’t even start.

What's more, we can't let the apprentices from the Wizarding Academy go to the assembly line to burn runes on the barrels of guns and enchant bullets, right?

Being able to recruit apprentices to work in the principality through the form of academy tasks and provide flexible employment is already a repayment of Zhong Minghui's great kindness to them.

Expect wizards to go to factories...?

Even if the design power of this Type 01 is only as powerful as Blue Star's mid-19th century breech-loading gun, it is a killer weapon that directly transcends the breech-loading era.

Coupled with the blessing of rune enchantment, it is not a problem to hit a vital point and send away a first-level physical knight on the spot, provided that it can be hit...

Perhaps in the history of the Zoya world, the appearance of Type 01 will be more written than this war, because this is an unprecedented weapon that can make ordinary people threaten extraordinary beings.

These 10,000 experimental firearms can only be given to the most elite troops to supervise the most insignificant troops like the CCP.
