Chapter 23 Strengthening Alertness
Since it won't be long before the orcs will come to sweep up the Beijun Valley, it is not safe to stand guard at the checkpoint. Zhang Weidao decided to let them stand on the cliff next to the checkpoint, using a telescope to observe the movements of the orcs from a high position. Although it is troublesome to go up and down the mountain, it requires
Jiage set up a magic floating platform to pick up and drop off, but it was safer and could better detect the enemy.
Anyway, the current orcs do not have an air force, so even if they are discovered, they can only stare down below. Zhang Weidao asked the guards to go back to get the trap materials and set up various traps on the road. Anyway, he will not take this road in the future, and simply set traps on them all.
Give it a taste of roadside bombs when the orcs invade.
Returning to the monastery with the guards, I watched the guards making large and small bags of poisonous arrows and poison, and even more fiercely, playing with kerosene and explosives. This group of kobolds are full of terrorists! Take those kerosene and explosives
The guards really wanted to make roadside bombs! This thing is so cruel that Zhang Weidao didn’t even know where they learned it.
If it explodes, it will be a sea of fire, and scrap metal is still mixed inside. Zhang Weidao can't imagine the scene where this thing is triggered by orcs, with fragments flying everywhere and fire oil splashing everywhere, it will definitely be...
It's hell! And the kobolds who were tinkering with this thing were muttering about setting it up in the city gate. They said it would be a waste if it wasn't triggered, so they must be placed where intruders must pass.
Looking at the kobold guards who had loaded a cart full of trap materials, Zhang Weidao watched them go away with an innocent face. Originally, he just wanted to set up some small troubles on the road to slow down the intruders' attack. As a result, these traps
The madman is in full swing. He wants to turn the entire road into the rhythm of a road of death. Traps along this way will definitely cause serious casualties.
In fact, there are some things here that Zhang Weidao accidentally taught the kobolds. He told them stories every night, and sometimes he would talk about ancient fire attack techniques or modern mine warfare. These kobolds themselves like to make traps, and then
It would be even more terrifying if you absorb these higher-end tactical ideas.
Watching the guards pushing the cart to set up traps, Zhang Weidao turned around and walked towards the waterfall. After the blacksmith shop began to produce muskets, practice musket shooting was set up near the waterfall. The rumble of the waterfall here can effectively cover up the gun
There is no sound, and the waterfall is the farthest away from the valley. It is the safest place to practice musket shooting.
We were still far away from the waterfall when we heard the rumbling sound mixed with the crisp sound of gunfire. As we got closer, we could see that most of the kobolds were holding fake guns and practicing basic movements, while some of them were holding real guns and firing live ammunition at the target.
shooting.
After the emergence of muskets, they were very popular among kobolds. They liked this kind of weapon that could be used for long-range shooting, equipped with a bayonet, and for close combat. It was very convenient to use, and it was not much different from the fighting skills of short spears, so the transition could be easily completed.
Looking at the skilled execution of assassinations with fake guns, Zhang Weidao was very satisfied with the progress of the training. Musket shooting was already very easy to master. As for the most difficult stabbing technique, the kobolds were already good at using short spears, and the training progress was also very good.
Very fast. These kobolds who have combat experience themselves will not be timid. As long as the guns can be equipped in time, they can go into actual combat.
After watching musket shooting for a while, I did a good job in this aspect. The shooting accuracy is also good, the hit rate is at least about 60-70%. I have only practiced for a few days to achieve this accuracy, which has a lot to do with the kobolds being good at throwing weapons. Throwing weapons
The aiming head requirements are quite high, and it is very helpful to improve shooting accuracy.
Now the hit rate is quite good. As long as the ammunition is enough, the musket can continue to shoot. Unlike the crossbow that has been used for a long time and has no strength to pull the bow string, the musket will not stop as long as the battlefield does not collapse.
He called Jiage who was supervising the training and told him to set up the magic suspension device to send the guards to the top of the mountain tomorrow. Next, Zhang Weidao was going to go to the blacksmith shop to see how the musket production progress was.
Arriving at the blacksmith shop in the Jade Mine, this area has been developed quite well at this time. Most of the living and production belongings have been moved here, and the Echo Mine has basically been abandoned.
There are bustling crowds everywhere in the cave. More than 500 people live here. Even if 200 people are deployed to practice musketry, there are still more than 300 women and children living and working here. Kobolds can also be regarded as a race where all the people are armed. In critical moments
Women and children can also participate in the war. It is still in the war preparation stage, and they are just busy preparing supplies.
When I walked into the blacksmith shop, the blacksmiths were making gun barrels. Some were responsible for forging and shaping, and some were responsible for drilling and rifling. The apprentices were using molds to make cartridge cases, and some were casting warheads. The blacksmiths said they could make ten guns a day.
There is no problem with the muskets. There are already two hundred muskets in stock here, which is enough for every soldier to have one.
The muskets they are making now are reserved for themselves and the women and children who are responsible for logistics. No one will dislike weapons. We strive to have one in hand during this period so that the entire clan can use this very useful musket.
Looking at the kobold blacksmith who was very fanatical about muskets, Zhang Weidao thought that if humans were also so fanatical about muskets, millions of residents in Stormwind City would have a musket in their hands, and when a hundred thousand orcs invaded, they would be wiped out by a single volley.
The city was about to be massacred like it is now. In the end, only a small half of the people escaped by boat, and the rest were basically slaughtered by the orcs.
Since the existing muskets are enough for each soldier, Zhang Weidao directly arranged for logistics personnel to escort the muskets and ammunition to the training ground, allowing them to practice with real guns directly. Practice with live ammunition during the day, and learn and maintain firearms at night, so as to become familiar with the weapons in their hands as soon as possible
, Only in this way can the maximum effect be exerted.
After a lot of work, boxes of weapons and ammunition were loaded into trucks and transported away. Zhang Weidao found out that Garroen was not here. After asking the blacksmiths, he found out that the master blacksmith was in the engineering laboratory. It was said that he was polishing the newly forged black steel in the past few days.
Iron plate armor.
Zhang Weidao walked excitedly to the laboratory. The laboratory was built in a stone chamber at the edge of the mine. The processing equipment here was the most complete. When Zhang Weidao opened the oak door and entered, Garroen was using the polishing equipment.
I was polishing the edge of a helmet. I saw Zhang Weidao come in and nodded, then concentrated on polishing.
He accidentally saw a set of black and red armor propped up on an iron frame in the corner, which instantly caught Zhang Weidao's attention. This set of armor was missing a helmet, and it seemed that it was the one in Garon's hands.
The entire set of armor glows with a dark light, and you can tell at a glance that it is made of black iron. It is really luxurious to use black iron, which is almost the strongest metal on the ground.
The red magic patterns on the armor can only be created by master blacksmiths. They are magic patterns formed by integrating the core of the fire element into the armor. They have the magical effect of absorbing flame energy. The flame energy will also be stored in the armor to enhance it.
Defense.
This magic armor in reality is definitely not comparable to that in the game. This equipment in the game is also a transitional equipment. But in reality, whoever dares to attack the upper level of the Black Stone Tower, the black dragon and the dragonman will ensure that the intruder will die without leaving any body intact.
