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, the skewed head and tail were undoubtedly man-made, and 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.

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 not deflect/resist projectiles when fighting against bows and arrows, which were low-penetration long-range weapons. They had no resistance to the long-pole muskets with enhanced power. Their bodies were not strong enough to resist bullets.

Before he could give the emergency 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 seemed 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 a great challenge for officers to command to keep soldiers in uniform and fire multiple rounds of volleys. At the same time, because of the different loading and aiming speeds, the effect of volleys will only get worse and worse, and the killing effect is far inferior to battle shooting/random shooting.

Neat, but more deadly.

The musketeers who use paper shell fixed ammunition further shorten their shooting time. They pursue extremely fast loading, but they can fire stably for a long time.

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

The second round of strafing 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.

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

It did not achieve the effect of rapid fire, but only ten musketeers can maintain firing at the same time on one side. There are twenty people in a pod, and ten of them are loading ammunition for the remaining ten... When they are happy to fire, their shoulders are blocked, and they will exchange positions with the infantry who are loading ammunition.

Such rapid rounds of shooting gave the lord the illusion that the muskets were firing very quickly. In order to exhaust some 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 cursing the system.

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

The airship accelerated to fire a musket. What kind of monster was this... The adventurers he captured never told 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 a rapid-fire musket meant. It was a technology close to the steam age...

This pile of ghost things, like him, came from a certain lord, right?

"System, speak!"

'According to the regulations, I cannot tell you this. '

"****"

Seeing that his lord who was not proud of himself fell into a state of panic/white flag, his elf hero looked at him with disgust, shouted loudly, and issued an order for the elf guards to stand still like a target.

If it was an airship with airbags, they still had a way to shoot them down... This airship covered with a layer of iron, the elves' shooting when they counterattacked had little effect. 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 shot a charged arrow, but the arrow barely penetrated the skeleton of the floating stone engine.

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

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

"Looking for you..."

Chang Heng mounted a special rifle on the porthole of the cab, and wrapped the middle part with soft cloth as a frame 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 in the frame of the scope.

Before going to the battle, 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 by 14mm, and it uses special single-headed bullets and powder, which are not compatible with the musket ammunition commonly used by infantry.

The most important thing is that this special rifle has rifling. The rifling of the rifle with rune inscriptions with strong structure will not be easily burned and worn away by crystal ore gunpowder.

The effective range is extended by 300, the maximum range is 500, and the weapon power is increased by 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. The officer standing next to him was shocked by the musket and his shoulders and back ached after firing at most one round.

The barrel has a lifespan of only 50 rounds. After 50 rounds of bullets are fired, a new barrel must be replaced immediately, of course there is a risk of explosion.

Chang Heng loves this new gun that belongs to him so much that he has broken two barrels for practice and to keep his feel. Ji Lin told him to practice without worry... It is best to lose one barrel per month, as this special barrel is very expensive.

The sharp bullet rotates along the rifling in the barrel, and leaves the barrel with the sudden blooming of the brilliant red lotus, whistling and ringing.

Tear up all the targets in the way.

In the rain of bullets, countless blue lights flashed, and the body dissociated, which means that his soldiers entered the dead state and were recovered by the system. A blue light means that a soldier has evacuated the battlefield. When you know the details of the enemy, retreating while your casualties are still high is the best solution.

This high-altitude sweep seemed to have great lethality, but it did not make them fall like straw swept by a sickle... The elves' rune craftsmanship was exquisite and excellent, and the elf guards were well-trained. They only lost dozens of elf guards and lizard slaves, and they could still preserve their manpower by retreating at this time.

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

The elf hero turned to his lord who seemed to have been scared silly. His hand wearing heavy armor was broken along with the bones, blood mist splashed, and the whistling sound from behind arrived.

"It seems to be a little off."

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

But it didn't matter, he had plenty of bullets.

So, for the second shot... hide behind the cover...
