The Rise of the European Emperor

Subsequently, the artillery of both sides launched a terrifying mutual shelling. But what makes Marin extremely depressed is that the previous plan to quickly clear the opponent's artillery failed...

The remaining artillerymen of the enemy, when they saw that the artillerymen of the Beihai State ordered goods, lay down on the ground to avoid them. The Beihai Kingdom's artillery shells were flat-fired. As long as the artillerymen of the coalition forces in front of the formation lay down to avoid them, the Beihai Kingdom's cement balls would roar and fly over their heads. Although it would take away a lot of enemy lives, it would be all the unlucky Beihai infantrymen behind, but it would be difficult to hurt those coalition artillerymen lying on the ground.

What made Marin even more depressed was that because the opponent was using the rear-mounted Fran cannon, those enemy gunners could also be emboldened while lying on the ground. After all, the sub-gun of the Fran cannon is small, like a large steel wine glass. The opponent's gunner can lay down on his stomach to avoid the opposite cannonball, while filling the wine glass with gunpowder and stone bullets...

As a result, Marin's plan to use the artillery to clear out the opposing artillery first came to nothing. What made him even more depressed was that because Beihai Kingdom's three-pounder guns were front-loading guns, the artillerymen had to stand to load them. When the enemy's artillery fires, those artillerymen are hard to avoid...

Fortunately, the artillery on the opposite side is a small-angle curved shot, not a flat shot. Otherwise, the Beihai State artillery failed to clean up the opponent's artillery, but the opponent would wipe out all the artillery...

"No, this passive situation must be changed!" Marin, who was standing on the high platform behind the battle, observed the battle with binoculars and was extremely anxious. If he shoots like this, I am afraid that the artillery under his command will die first...

At this time, his eyes suddenly fell on a group of youths with childish faces on the side...

This group of teenagers is very special. Although they are not very old, each of them carries a big killer...

...

So, what is the big killer in the hands of these teenagers? That is - a steel core single-headed bullet!

The steel core single-headed bullet is a special bullet made by Marin before he went to Daming two years ago. After the bullet is ejected from the chamber, because the male rifling at the top acts as a wind grille, under the resistance of the oncoming wind, it rotates to achieve the flying state of the rifled bullet rotating forward. In this way, the trajectory is much more stable. Although not as long as the conical bullet of the rifled gun, it can also reach an effective range of 200 meters that can be aimed.

Moreover, in order to improve the armor-piercing ability and prevent the iron rod from piercing the male rifling on the top of the lead bullet during loading, Marin also added a steel nail as the center axis to the single-headed bullet. In this way, when loading the bullet, the iron rod is different from the male rifling at the top of the lead bullet, and only the steel nail can be stabbed. The sharp nail head of the steel nail can also strengthen the ability to break through armor. If shot within 50 meters, this steel core single-headed bullet can easily penetrate ordinary plate armor.

Terrifyingly powerful.

At first, after developing this powerful steel core single-headed bullet, Marin worried that this powerful weapon would fall into the hands of wicked people and be used to assassinate himself. Therefore, he did not equip ordinary soldiers, even reliable veterans.

In the end, Marin came up with a solution - from the group of elementary school graduates at that time, he selected a group of elementary school scum who had been brainwashed all the year round and were extremely loyal to Marin, as the users of this new type of bullet...

And Marin's selection criteria at the beginning also made people speechless - that is, to see his portrait, to be excited, to see his real person, to be so excited that he wanted to cry...

Such people are basically Marin's brain-dead fans, and there is no problem with loyalty. Moreover, as a scumbag, the mind is simple. Unlike those academic bullies who have too many ideas, it is difficult to control them. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying that "every time you follow the slaughtering dog, you are mostly a scholar". The Tugou generation is simple-minded, teach him to be loyal and he will be loyal. The scholar is not so easy to fool, you let him be loyal, he looks like this, but he doesn't know what to think in his heart. As for Qi Jiguang's selection of troops, he also chose simple-minded farmers rather than well-informed urbanites. Because, simple-minded farmer, if you let him charge, he will honestly charge. And a well-informed city man, if you call him Chong, he may retreat...

Therefore, Marin still trusts these elementary school scumbags with their own brains. Having been away from home for two years, these elementary school scumbags practice shooting every day. When they came back, these elementary school scumbags were so excited that they burst into tears, and they moved Marin to the point of crying...

No, this is going to be a battle, and Marin also brought this group of elementary school scumbags. However, he did not want these fifteen or sixteen-year-old children to participate in the war at first, but intended to let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. After all, they are still young and have a long way to go. Therefore, these loyal elementary school scumbags, Marin did not arrange them in the front row, but followed him and stood in the back row to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield.

But I didn't expect that because the artillery was unfavorable in combat, it would be difficult for Marin to kill the opponent's artillery. In this way, this group of elementary school scum who can precisely hit the target will have a place...

So Marin ordered:

"Hank, get out!"

Hank is the leader of this group of elementary school scumbags, and the most loyal elementary school scumbag to Marin. He trembled with excitement when he saw Marin. Hearing Marin calling himself, Hank, who was only 16 years old, immediately stood up and shouted:

"arrive!"

Marin was very satisfied to see Hank in high spirits. But he deliberately asked:

"Tell me, Hank, are you 'juvenile sharpshooters' (the title Marin gave these elementary school scumbags) scared?"

"Don't be afraid! Willing to die for the Grand Duke!" Hank raised his chest and shouted.

"I am willing to die for the Grand Duke!" Hank's 99 friends also shouted excitedly!

Marin nodded in satisfaction and said:

"I don't need you to die, I want you to live and fight for me. Now, brave boys, I have a glorious task for you..." Marin suddenly turned into an NPC in the game and started the task release mode . However, the stingy Marin is not like those quest NPCs who will reward money and equipment, Ye will not reward experience, but will only give a few compliments...

The 100 loyal elementary school scumbags were all excited when they heard that after completing the task, Marin would award them the "Youth Warrior" medal. But how do they know that there is no such thing as the so-called "young warrior" medal. It is basically Marin who came up with it temporarily to fool these elementary school scumbags... Of course, after the war, Marin will definitely make a "young warrior" medal now. , after all, you can't lose your trust in people...

In this way, the 100 loyal elementary school scumbags who were fooled by Marin and couldn't find the north, each carrying a small delicate box, moved forward from the crowd and came to the side of the artillery position...

Their task is to kill each other's artillery...

At this time, the artillerymen of the two sides were facing each other, and the distance was about 120 meters, which was a little farther than the musketeers who were shooting at each other on the flanks. But this distance is the distance that the "juvenile sharpshooters" are good at. Don't look at other musketeers, but they have steel core single-headed bullets that can aim at a distance of 200 meters, which can completely kill the opponent's artillery...

...

After another round of shelling by the Beihai Army, the artillerymen were busy cooling the barrels and clearing the chambers. On the opposite side, the surviving gunners of the coalition army took the opportunity to stand up, start loading the sub-guns of the Fran cannon, and prepare to shoot...

And these unfortunate coalition artillerymen do not know that there are 100 young sharpshooters diagonally opposite, and they have aimed at them with muskets...

Of course the coalition gunners saw a bunch of kids targeting them, but they weren't nervous at all. Because the straight line distance between them and those primary school scum is about 120 meters, and the diagonal distance is more than 150 meters. Such a distance... In terms of the thinking of those coalition artillerymen - you can aim whatever you want, and I will let you shoot...

"Let it go!" With Hank's roar, 100 teenagers calmly pulled the trigger...

In an instant, 100 clockwork muskets spewed out flames. And 100 steel core single-headed bullets also flew out of the barrel, flew straight forward, and went straight to the enemy artillery position...

During the flight, the originally movable cork holders fell off due to air resistance. The steel core single-headed bullet at the front began to slowly rotate forward after being resisted by the wind. Although the rotation speed cannot keep up with the rifle bullet, the flight trajectory is relatively stable. At least, it is stable within 200 meters...

The artillerymen of the opposing coalition army were still reloading and preparing to fire. They don't know - death is coming...
