Chapter 243 Lead Rain

Both sides of the infantry pod have shooting windows specifically for firing outwards, but for the sake of protection, the internal soldiers' field of vision for observation is sacrificed, and the accuracy of firing is reduced.

But it does not affect the lethality of this large-caliber musket.

As he looked at the flying objects that looked like sky island creatures approaching in astonishment, its square head and tail were undoubtedly man-made, but the keel connected in the middle did not look like human creations, but rather like the bones removed from some creatures.

They did not land, but turned sideways.

A light gray-white mist bloomed on the side string.

What greeted him was the first wave of volleys from the starboard musketeer, the lead bullets rolled in the air and tore the air, spewing out the deadly flames of death.

The elf guards standing outside the sentry post were all like being hit by a heavy hammer in the chest, half-knelt on the ground, covering their chests under heavy pressure, and gasping.

A long-range torso hit could not completely kill these elf guards with rune armor. The exquisite hollow armor on them began to dim after blocking a lead bullet for them.

The lizard slaves were not so lucky. Their thin scales could only deflect/resist projectiles when fighting against bows and arrows, which were low-armor-penetrating long-range weapons. And facing the long-pole muskets with enhanced power, they had no resistance at all. Their bodies were not strong enough to resist bullets.

Before he could give a response order, the second round of shooting arrived immediately.

Unlike the uniform volleys of the first round of shooting, the gunshots of the second round of shooting were not so uniform. After the first round of volleys, the infantry immediately entered the battle shooting mode, that is, each shooter aimed and fired alone.

In a noisy and chaotic environment, it is not only a great challenge for the officers' command ability to maintain the uniform firing of multiple volleys. At the same time, due to the different loading and aiming speeds of individuals, the effect of volleys will only get worse and worse, and the killing effect is far inferior to that of battle shooting/random shooting.

Not neat, but more deadly.

The musketeers who use paper shell fixed ammunition further shorten their shooting time. They do not pursue extremely fast loading, but want to fire steadily for a long time.

At this moment, it only takes 20 seconds to load a round of ammunition stably and continuously.

The second round of sweeping began to shatter the armor of the elf guards.

"Rapid-fire musket..."

The elf lord looked at the side string of the airship pod, which burst out a burst of white mist in an instant just after the second round of shooting stopped, and gritted his teeth and spit out these four words from his mouth with difficulty.

Hide, where can you hide? Those shooters holding muskets tilted the lead rain from a high position, tearing flesh and breaking bones.

It did not achieve the effect of rapid fire, but only ten musketeers could fire at the same time on one side. There were twenty people in a pod, and ten of them were reloading the remaining ten... When they were satisfied with firing and their shoulders could not bear it, they would exchange positions with the infantry who were reloading ammunition.

Such rapid rounds of firing gave the lord the illusion that the muskets were firing at a very fast speed. In order to exhaust the choking smoke at this extremely fast firing speed, the soldiers even opened the boarding door on one side for ventilation.

But this did not prevent the elf lord from scolding the system.

His troops were already the top troops of the third era, but after upgrading to the fourth era, it still took time to slowly improve the quality of the troops from the third era to the fourth era.

The airship accelerated the firing of muskets. What kind of monster is this... The adventurers he captured did not tell him that the local natives would have this level of firepower.

Did he go to the wrong world line? Or were those adventurers also outsiders like him? Or...

A creepy thought arose in his heart, even covering up the panic and confusion brought by the baptism of muskets and lead bullets.

He came from the modern era, so he naturally knew what rapid-fire muskets meant. That was a technology that was only available in the steam age...

This pile of ghost things, wouldn't it be from a certain lord like him?

"System, speak!"

"According to the regulations, I can't tell you this content. '

"****"

Seeing his unpromising lord fall into a state of panic/white flag, his elf hero looked at him with disgust, shouted loudly, and ordered the elf guards not to stand there like a target.

If it was an airship carrying an airbag, they would still have a way to shoot them down...This airship with a layer of iron sheet, the elves' shooting when counterattacking was ineffective, and some arrows with magic abilities that could penetrate armor and kill could be nailed to the pod, but they had no killing effect at all.

He raised his hand and fired a charged arrow, which barely penetrated the skeleton of the floating stone engine.

"Hide on the spot, don't shoot at them, scatter, scatter!"

When the elf hero gave orders on behalf of his lord, a pair of eyes fell on him quietly.

"Found you..."

Chang Heng mounted a special rifle on the porthole of the cab, and used soft cloth to wrap the middle part as a bracket to stabilize the rifle. With the help of the telescopic effect of the Eagle Eye Technique, the elf hero standing in the open space and giving orders was put into the frame of the scope.

Before going on the expedition, Ji Lin specially commissioned the dean of the academy to build a long-pole sniper rifle for Chang Heng. It is impossible for his hero unit to not have a handy weapon, right? He must build a sniper rifle suitable for him, who has the talent of a "hunter".

The barrel wall is thickened, the caliber is increased to 14mm, and special single-headed bullets and medicine bags are used, which are not compatible with the musket ammunition commonly used by infantry.

The most important thing is that this special rifle has rifling, and the rifle rifling with structural strengthening rune inscriptions will not be easily worn away by crystal ore gunpowder.

The effective range is pushed to 300, the maximum range is 500, and the weapon power is increased to 120 points of armor-piercing damage.

Only a hero unit of his level can withstand the continuous shooting of this sniper rifle with physical fitness, and the officer standing next to him will be shocked by the musket and his shoulders and back will ache after firing at most one round.

The barrel has a lifespan of only fifty rounds. After fifty rounds of bullets are fired, a new barrel needs to be replaced immediately, otherwise there will be a risk of explosion.

Chang Heng loves this new gun that belongs to him and has broken two barrels for practice and to maintain his feel. Ji Lin asked him to practice with confidence... It is best to lose one barrel a month, as this special barrel is very expensive.

The sharp bullet rotated along the rifling in the gun barrel, and left the barrel with the suddenly blooming bright red lotus, whistling and chirping.

Tear up all the targets in its path.

In the rain of bullets, countless blue lights flashed, and the body disintegrated, which meant that his soldiers entered the dead state and were recovered by the system. A blue light means that a soldier has evacuated the battlefield. In the case of not knowing the details of the enemy, retreating while the casualties are not very high is the best solution.

This high-altitude sweep seems to be powerful, but it did not make them fall like straw swept by a sickle... The elves' rune craftsmanship is exquisite and excellent, and the elf guards are well-trained. They only lost dozens of elf guards and lizard slaves. At this time, retreating still has the possibility of preserving their manpower.

"Lord, please come with me to a safe place immediately. This place is already very unsafe. We still have a chance to retreat with the griffin troops..."

The elf hero turned to his lord who seemed to be frightened. His hand wearing heavy armor was broken along with the bones. Blood mist splashed, and the whistling sound arrived later.

"It seems to be a little off."

Chang Heng slightly turned the muzzle of the gun, wondering why the bullet he was aiming at the opponent's torso only tore one of the opponent's arms.

But it doesn't matter, he has a lot of bullets.

So, the second shot... hide behind the bunker...
