Chapter 33
[Your team was discovered by a Tier 2 bandit. The opponent has 13 people and is led by a Tier 3 bandit leader. 】
Ready to fight!
Zhao Ritian's hoarse voice rang in the ears of 20 senior Swedish town militiamen, who lined up in two loose rows in a panic.
It’s not that senior Swedish town militiamen don’t want to be closer, but because the matchlock gun is ignited by first igniting the match, and then pulling the trigger to insert the ignited match into the powder chamber to ignite the black powder, through the explosive power of the black powder burning violently in a narrow space , to push the buckshot out of the muzzle quickly.
Therefore, everyone's matchlocks are lit before shooting. If the distance is too close, it is easy to ignite a long row of prepared black powder + lead bullets on the teammates next to them...
In order to ensure that the amount of black powder filled during combat is moderate, these senior Swedish town militiamen are covered with small tubes, each of which is filled with a good amount of black powder and lead bullets. When using it, take out a small tube and fill it immediately. But, in this way, there will be no problem of too much black powder and too little black powder on the battlefield.
Wang Ziming found that the loyalty of these mercenaries was far higher than that of Chalak's robbers. After becoming Wang Ziming's mercenaries, when they were attacked by bandits, none of them disobeyed the order. They all lined up and prepared to fight!
Obviously, these mercenaries are subject to stricter employment rules, even reaching the same morale as the soldiers in the headquarters!
This setting is almost the same as in the game...
The bandits on the opposite side stopped outside the effective range of the light arquebus after seeing the 21-man team lined up for battle.
A bandit with an old arquebus on his back stepped forward and stood outside the effective range and shouted loudly: Listen up, people on the other side, our boss asks you to pay 2 gold coins for the toll, otherwise everyone will die!
‘When Zhao Ritian met the robbers alone before, the robbers directly proposed employment terms, but this time the bandits they met came up and robbed. Is it because this time my team has more people and the things in my hands are more valuable? '
Wang Ziming's consciousness gave Zhao Ritian a battle order while guessing!
If you want to take our money, first taste the bullets in our hands!
Zhao Ritian, who received Wang Ziming's instruction, immediately opened his mouth and turned back. He even thrust his crotch towards the bandit in a humiliating gesture, looking even more like a bandit than a bandit...
Zhao Ritian's 'sarcasm skill' was quite successful, and after saying one word back, the bandits rushed up with their tattered matchlock guns in their hands without saying a word!
The biggest difference between these Tier 2 bandits and robbers is that they all have guns!
Even an arquebus that looks dilapidated or even cracked, as long as it can be fired, it can kill people!
And many bandits were carrying various melee weapons on their backs, such as sickles, logging axes, kitchen knives, wooden forks...
Compared with the standard equipment of the bandits - tattered arquebus, the types of melee weapons are very rich...
However, this is also better than a senior Swedish town militia with only one gun and no melee weapons!
With the rate of fire of the arquebus and the range of the light arquebus, 20 senior Swedish town militiamen had only one chance to fire a volley!
There is no other reason. It takes nearly 2 minutes for these senior Swedish town militiamen to reload once!
The bandits rushed over in a hurry, and 2 minutes was enough to slaughter the town militia back and forth!
No wonder the bandits on the other side are so confident...
Bang, bang, bang...
Scattered gunshots came from the hands of the bandits. Like the experienced Swedish town militiamen, these bandits were amateurs, and they fired while running. They didn't even know where the bullets flew...
The senior Swedish town militiamen lined up in two rows remained motionless, and no one fell down under a series of gunshots...
This can't help but boost the morale of the senior Swedish town militiamen!
And after upgrading to the senior level, these Swedish town militiamen are actually veterans of the militia. In their memory, they were forced into the experience of fighting, which is the biggest gain from upgrading!
Of course, if it is a mercenary of the regular Swedish army of Tier 2, even if they do not upgrade, it is equivalent to having war experience...
If you upgrade a bit more, you will be at the level of a veteran of hundreds of battles!
The senior Swedish town militia is naturally not good compared to the regular army, but it is still possible to fight a gang of bandits.
After more than a dozen gunshots, the bandits finally subsided. They also used arquebus guns, and because of their poorer quality and age, their reloading speed was only slower than that of senior Swedish town militiamen. After firing once, Turned into a stick of fire...
Although the bandit leader is at the third level, his military command ability is at the novice level. He only knows how to take the lead in sprinting and running at the front, which greatly arouses the viciousness of other bandits!
Little ones, the garbage on the other side is scared stupid, draw your knife and hack them to death!
After entering a distance of 50 meters, the bandit leader shouted with ecstasy when he saw that the 20 senior Swedish town militiamen on the opposite side still did not shoot.
In his memory, the farmer uncle who used to oppress wantonly was so frightened and stupid...
Since the senior town militiamen in Sweden wore civilian uniforms, the bandits mistakenly thought they were just a group of ordinary civilians.
In towns where there is a surplus of horseback riding and slashing with fire and sword, it is not difficult for civilians to have an arquebus.
Soon, the bandits ran within 40 meters, then 30 meters, 20 meters, 15 meters!
Fire!
When the 20 senior Swedish town militiamen who were standing in the front row squatted and were about to scold their mothers, Zhao Ritian finally gave the order to shoot!
If it weren't for the employment contract rules that firmly restrained this group of senior Swedish town militiamen, these 20 people would not have survived and shot at this time!
A row of blood sprayed from the leader of the third-rank bandit who was the first to bear the brunt, and even the inertia of charging was stopped, and his body involuntarily leaned back!
The gang of bandits behind him ended up similarly, one after another was shot into a sieve within a distance of over ten meters!
At this distance, even a light matchlock gun with poor airtightness can be aimed, not to mention that this is a salvo volley!
20 light arquebus guns fired at close range, and more than half of the 13 bandits including the bandit leader fell down immediately, and the battle damage exceeded 60% in just a few seconds!
This gang of bandits is just a rabble, and there are no rules and contracts, so naturally...
Oh my god, it's too cruel, run away!
Stop fighting, stop fighting, they are not civilian gunmen, they are militia musketeers!
Boss is dead, run, if you don't run, everyone will die here...
The voices of crying for father and mother immediately erupted from the mouths of the surviving bandits, and then they turned and fled in the direction they came from at an even faster speed!
A lot of corpses and loot were left behind!
