The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

The huge fireball is actually composed of many red bricks, which are **** with bamboo sticks to form a huge stone ball. After being poured with special fuel, it is ignited and shot into the sky. The bamboo sticks are burnt, and the red bricks tied together are slowly due to inertia. Spread out.

Created the illusion of meteor shower.

The red brick falls from a height of more than 100 meters. Under the potential energy of gravity, once it is hit, it is either dead or injured.

As soon as the Prince Army soldiers rushed out of the range of the meteor shower, they saw a group of Merlot crossbowmen waiting in line. They lined up in three formations.

"Let it go!"

Shoo...

The crossbow bolts flew out like raindrops, and the Prince's riflemen also raised their guns to counterattack.

Every time the gunfire sounded, someone fell to the ground in the battle crossbow array, but the other soldiers let them hesitate and quickly moved closer to fill the vacancy of the fallen comrades.

The two sides fired again. In the end, the Prince's rifle soldiers could not withstand this face-to-face confrontation, especially since they had not trained any line infantry tactics.

Line infantry tactics began in Europe in the mid-17th century. Hand-held firearms have been widely adopted by infantry. The dominant tactic is line tactics. The infantry is lined up in a wide and shallow line and then fired. There are two to four rows of soldiers in a line.

Because at close range, the accuracy of the musket can be relatively improved, coupled with the slow reloading speed, so only close formation shooting can cause the enemy's casualties to the maximum. The line is arranged for the purpose of exerting the strongest firepower.

Although the infantry arranged in a loose formation can find cover and are relatively agile, they are very fragile against cavalry and cannot hold their positions against the advancing infantry. The line infantry provided support to the skirmishers and cavalry who were threatened to retreat.

When surrounded by cavalry, the line infantry can quickly transform into a square formation. This type of phalanx is empty in the middle, which is different from the phalanx of spearmen and old-style musketeers.

Even a well-trained infantry can still be very slow when marching in a line formation, and the formation is easy to split when marching, especially when passing through bushes and forests. Therefore, when fixed, the infantry usually adopts a linear formation, and when marching, it usually adopts a vertical formation. In charge and close combat, vertical formations are also used.

This is what Aslan taught to all members of the Cavaliers Guard.

Because of the appearance of machine guns, cavalry slowly withdrew from the stage of history, and later skirmish tactics appeared.

In this era when the knight is still the mainstream combat force, and there is no machine gun on the battlefield, the line infantry tactics are the simplest and most violent tactics.

Lan Mallok looked at the Prince's army that had been defeated in the opposing shot, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He remembered that Lord Lord once joked.

Line infantry tactics are simply queuing to shoot.

If the army he belongs to is also equipped with a rifle, it is indeed like queuing to shoot.

The security forces of the East Asia General Company captured the revolver rifles of the Prince’s defeated soldiers and the captives. These Prince troops were also trained. When they could not escape, most of the revolver rifles in their hands were broken.

However, these do not affect the capture of Lanmarok. As long as the barrel is not broken, other things can be easily repaired. The only trouble is the ammunition.

He has seized thousands of revolvers, but only 10,000 rounds of ammunition, with an average of less than ten rounds per person.

"The ammunition in Merlot has just been produced, and it is not rich." Lan Mallok said helplessly.

Randor next to him said: "Then can we buy ammunition from the Maxim Empire?"

Lan Mallok's eyes lit up.

"You are too right. Ask Mr. Jason to contact the Maxim Chamber of Commerce immediately to purchase two thousand revolvers and half a million rounds of ammunition."

Rondole blinked. This lord is too awesome. There are only so many words. How much does it cost.

Situations like Lanmarok are now happening frequently all over the mainland. The Maxim Empire secretly sold a batch of rifles to the opposition forces of various countries at low prices. These opposition forces used the power of the rifle in the early stage to defeat the countries in a row, and finally they had no choice but to follow suit. The Maxim Chamber of Commerce purchases rifles.

For a time, the DM strengthened again and became the universal currency of the mainland.

Of course, the Maxim Chamber of Commerce is not willing to sell to all forces.

The Kingdom of Cleveland is a member of the blacklist that prohibits trafficking, and even requires all buying countries not to resell them to the Kingdom of Cleveland at high prices, or they will suffer economic sanctions from the Maxim Empire.

Now that the Mark coin has risen again, coupled with the trade of various commodities, the Maxim Empire has once again become the economic hegemon of the mainland.

Itzhak would come to Merlot almost every week, thanks to the appearance of the projectiles, and then transported away the 20,000 rounds of ammunition that had just left the Merlot Arsenal.

It's just that today he got 20,000 more, which surprised Yitzhak very much.

"The output of the arsenal has increased?"

"Yes, now that the planting scale of Sangtong is getting bigger and bigger, the extraction of Yaqingsaisu is faster and faster, and the yield is naturally higher and higher." Arthur, who is in charge of the reception, replied unhurriedly.

At this time, Yitzhak realized that something was wrong with Merlot.

The nominal heads are not there.

Aslan, the lord, didn’t say anything. The Duke of Medea couldn’t feel the coercion. Nomiri, the mysterious waitress, was also missing. As for Altria and Elitelina, neither was there. .

"I want to visit the Marquis of Aslan? Could you pass it on," Yitzhak said suddenly.

The corner of Arthur's mouth twitched. The thing he feared most was still happening. He shook his head and said, "Your Lord has something to go to Changfeng Plain."

"The Duke of Thatmedea?"

"Went to the Northern Wind Prairie?"

"Where is the maid of Nuomiri?"

Arthur could only bite the bullet and said: "She never leaves the Lord Lord's side."

"Mrs. Altria?"

"She and Mrs. Elitelina went to the Terena Forest to have a baby. I heard that the environment there is better and it is good for the growth of the fetus." In the last sentence, Arthur did not lie.

Yitzhak believed that you had a ghost, but he didn't ask any more, he knew it was too late.

If he digs deeper, it is impossible to guarantee that Arthur will not be regarded as dissatisfied, and he wants to take advantage of Aslan's idea to fight Merlot City.

It's normal for this kind of thing to happen in other territories, but it doesn't happen in Merlot.

Because no one knows how much power Melo city hides.

The six towering magic towers in the city of Merlot alone made me feel terrified, not to mention the countless mentor-level powerhouses hidden in the realm. I heard that the first person under the great mentor level, Kuchulin, has returned to Mei. Los Angeles.

In fact, not only Yitzhak, but also many businessmen from various countries who entered Merlot are also ready to move.
