Chapter 824: The Technical Strength of Yanhuo Village
The next morning, with the villagers seeing them off and some tourists watching curiously, the huge convoy set off in a mighty manner, passed the bridge at the entrance of the village, and left the village.
This was completely different from Gordon's impression of "hunting". Except for the two super-giant ancient dragon blocking battles of Lingshan Dragon and Laoshan Dragon, this expedition was the largest.
There were more than ten hunters directly involved in the battle, and there were even more villagers and craftsmen. The total number of the entire convoy exceeded 40.
The most surprising thing was that there was no trace of fear on the faces of these villagers and craftsmen. They seemed to have long been accustomed to fighting.
This was indeed the case.
The proportion of hunters in Yanhuo Village was astonishingly high, but the power of Yanhuo hunters alone could not stop the night march of hundreds of dragons.
From a certain perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yanhuo Village is "all soldiers".
All villagers have been screened since childhood, and those with qualified talents have started to receive hunter training early.
People like Feng Ying, Ai Cao, Dao Ji and others have completed the basic training of hunters at the age of 14 or 15, and can participate in battles as novice hunters. This age period is much earlier than other places.
Feng Ying was only 15 years old when she sneaked to Minagard. At that time, she was already a one-star hunter. In other villages, towns and cities, it is not certain whether she has started hunter training at this age.
In addition to young hunters like them, the villagers and craftsmen of these transport teams have all directly participated in the defense of Feiye Fortress.
They cannot fight monsters at close range like hunters, but they can skillfully operate defensive weapons such as heavy crossbows.
Master Puxian said that the people accompanying this time are the elite villagers of Yanhuo Village, and almost everyone has personally shot monsters in the Hundred Dragons Night Parade.
The folk customs are so fierce that it is difficult to see such "ordinary villagers" in other places.
Compare it with Jieyun Village in the north. If the Thunder Wolf Dragon Disaster happened in Yanhuo Village.
Ask for help? Why ask for help? There are only a dozen Thunder Wolf Dragons, not enough to kill.
It will take several days to reach the ancient city of Dragon Palace where the Thunder Dragon is, by land and sea.
At this time, Gordon and his companions were standing on the large cart pulled by Bobo, curiously looking at the complex mechanical weapon in front of them - the rapid-fire cannon.
It was the first time they saw this kind of weapon. It must be said that the technical strength of Yanhuo Village did not look like something that a village-level settlement could master.
It can only be said that pressure makes people progress.
Feng Ying’s knowledge of mechanical mechanisms cannot be said to be completely unknown, but it can only be said that she has a superficial understanding of it. This point was learned by hard work during the maintenance of the shield axe.
She touched the huge drum of the rapid-fire cannon and commented in a pretentious manner: "This thing must be much more powerful than the heavy crossbow, right?"
An Xier looked at the formation carefully and said: "The power of a single shot is definitely far less than that of a heavy crossbow, but the firing rate of this thing should be quite amazing.
This way, it can be easily fired, and the requirements for the user are lower."
"That's right." Huo Xiao jumped into the car and said with a smile: "From the design level, this weapon is considered for people who don't have much shooting experience.
Pull the trigger, and then move the line of fire to shoot at the target."
Manshu, who came with him, smiled and said: "The rapid-fire cannon was invented by Huo Xiao. It's so cool to fire, and attack like a fierce dragon!"
An Xier asked about how to quickly replace the drum, etc. These should be tried in advance, but the Thunder Dragon woke up suddenly, and there was no way to find time to practice.
After explaining the use of the rapid-fire cannon, Huo Xiao waved and called Osura and Maka from the alcohol team over.
The two of them will not join the battle head-on, but they have used rapid-fire cannons and heavy crossbows in the last Hundred Dragons Night Parade, so they have experience.
Therefore, they are the two who are mainly responsible for operating long-range weapons this time, plus Ansir and Gael who are responsible for roaming shooting.
As for the village craftsmen, although they can also join the battle, there is only one opponent in this battle, so there is no need to let them take risks.
Their main job is to quickly deploy and install weapons before the battle occurs.
Huo Xia continued, "Using rapid-fire cannons to attack is one aspect, but the four heavy crossbows are more critical. We have specially made special restraining bombs.
If the four heavy crossbows fire restraining bombs at the same time, it may be possible to drag the Thunder Dragon to the ground.
You can use it when the time is right, but remember one thing, try to fire the four crossbows at the same time, so that you can have a greater chance of controlling the Thunder Dragon."
An Xier nodded, "I understand, I will seize the opportunity, wait for my signal then."
Gail subconsciously replied, "Why listen to you?"
An Xier glanced at her sideways, "Then the four of us vote, come on, raise your hands if you support my command."
As he said, An Xier raised his hand slowly, and Maka and Osura also raised their hands without hesitation.
Three to one, Gale, who was completely defeated, muttered, "Nei Ma, is he your father? So obedient"
Maka and Osura shrugged, and did not intend to refute, so Gale could only pinch his nose and accept the arrangement.
"By the way, who's going to use that thing?"
Gordon turned his eyes away from the rapid-fire cannon and pointed at the strange-looking cannon loaded on another cart.
Compared to the thick and long barrel of conventional artillery, the barrel of this artillery is particularly "light and thin". The barrel is very short, but the diameter of the muzzle is large enough to fit a person in.
"I'll use it next time!" Zhuchop raised his paw, "This thing is very simple, meow, and a cat can use it next time!"
"Really?" Gordon was a little skeptical.
It's not that he doubted Zhuchop's ability, but artillery is a very complicated thing. It needs to be loaded and the barrel needs to be moved to aim. Generally, it takes two or three people to operate it.
"This is the mortar we talked about before." Huoxia smiled and said, "Don't treat it as a conventional artillery. It's more like..."
"Fireworks launch tube meow?" Xianglan, who was lying on Hayata's shoulder, said casually.
"Fireworks launch tube? No, no, no, it's not quite the same. The main difference between the two is that" Huoxia got stuck in the middle of the sentence.
After a few seconds of silence, he reluctantly admitted, "Okay, this is a large firework launch tube."
Hayata reached out and scratched Xianglan's chin, "Didn't you, Zhupai, and Grandpa Xunbao set off fireworks together during the hero celebration in Jieyun Village? Can you help Zhupai then?"
Xianglan shuddered and shrieked, "No meow! I'm a healing cat meow, and I must stay on the front line of the battle and be ready for emergency rescue at any time meow!"
Zhupai checked his treasured dragon-killing carbon shells and said casually, "I really can't let Xianglan help meow, it's better to let it be a healing cat honestly meow.
When the fireworks were set off during the hero celebration, someone fell into the firework launch tube meow, and was launched into the sky with the fireworks meow." (Chapter 417, actually a scene in the CG)
Everyone looked at Xianglan in surprise.
Xianglan shrank behind Hayata, "I don't know anything meow"
ps. Occasionally add more chapters, there will be another chapter later, it should be finished around ten o'clock?
