Chapter 993 John Sal's Ace

"boom!"

That sound seemed to sound some kind of signal, and the strange metal tube weapons in the hands of the dwarf soldiers began to spit out fire and gunpowder frantically.

This scene made Zhao Pan completely associate the strange weapon in the opponent's hand with their cannon.

Although there is still a certain difference in appearance between these two things, Zhao Pan at that time was almost convinced that the attacking principle of that thing was absolutely the same as their cannon!

And this is another ace in the hands of John Thrall, the Dwarf Musketeer!

In the black iron segment, most players actually already have the ability to make firearms.

But the ones that are really widely used are very few.

The reason is nothing more than the low cost performance of the early firearms, the short range, and the poor attack efficiency. It is better to continue to use bed crossbows and bows and arrows.

In other words, this is still an era dominated by cold weapons.

But John Thrall's dwarf civilization is an exception. First, his dwarf civilization has an effect bonus in the development of firearms. Second, his dwarf soldiers have a racial talent bonus when using firearms.

Under the combination of these two, for other players, the musket is basically useless, but in his hands, it can show quite good combat effectiveness.

The wild boar infantry rushing to the front was undoubtedly attacked by the dwarf musketeers.

Under the continuous gunshots, a large amount of blood splashed on the battlefield.

Liu Tao, who was in charge of the battlefield command, quickly issued an order after realizing that the situation was not right.

While signaling the orcs in the front row to retreat, let their human race's large shield soldiers step forward quickly, forming a shield wall to resist the firepower on the opposite side.

The battle outside the fortress made Zhao Pan's brows wrinkle obviously, and the weapon on the opposite side was indeed beyond his expectations.

As his thoughts flew around, he decisively signaled the messenger beside him to blow the horn and let the defending troops retreat to the fortress.

Faced with this state, John Sal's first reaction was to pursue.

However, how could Zhao Pan let him succeed?

The mage troops on the top of the wall made a decisive move, and the three types of attack spells, such as Gale Bullets, Exploding Fireballs, and Thunderstorm Techniques, all rushed over.

At the same time, in front of the army of dwarves, several earthen walls suddenly rose in place, blocking their way, and winning the opportunity for the defending troops to withdraw.

The heavy city gate slammed down.

Looking at the closed city gate, and then at the siege machine that was bombarded into wreckage by the cannon on the opposite side, John Sal, who had some plans in his heart, waved his hand, and the dwarf army temporarily retreated.

Signaling the soldiers on duty on the top of the wall to keep watching the movement outside, Zhao Pan walked down the city wall quickly.

At this moment, there was a mess near the city gate, and many soldiers covered in blood just fell there, screaming constantly.

Needless to say, the medics and the elf priests were already rescuing the seriously wounded soldiers.

After nightfall, in the battle meeting room of Beishan Fortress, all the generals, including Zhao Pan, all looked at the two things that were in the center of the meeting table.

Those two things were a thumb-sized black projectile and a heart guard.

There was a little blood on the black projectile, which was taken from the wound of a boar soldier.

The boar soldier's arm was hit by the other's strange weapon. Thanks to the layer of protection provided by the light armor, coupled with his thick skin, the projectile did not penetrate his arm, but stuck in his musculature.

However, it still took a lot of work for the medics to take it out.

They had to carefully cut the surrounding wound open, and after removing the projectile, disinfected, medicated and sutured.

This whole process is simple to say, but it is really laborious to deal with.

This makes the work of the medics, which continues to this day.

In the conference room, from time to time, we could hear the mourning sounds coming from outside.

And the other thing, that side goggle, is not unusual in itself.

According to their majesty's design, the entire surface of the goggles presents an arc, which can, to a certain extent, cut open the attack on it.

Generally, a side is installed on the heart part to protect the heart.

At this moment, on the goggles, which should have been very smooth, there were two more dents.

Undoubtedly, these two dents were made by the strange weapon in the hands of the enemy.

After arranging the thoughts in his head a little, Zhao Pan, who was sitting in the main seat of the battle conference room, spoke slowly...

"For soldiers of the boar tribe, unless the head is directly hit by that weapon, the possibility of causing fatal damage is relatively small. However, this does not mean that the destructive power of the weapon is weak."

"On the premise that the wild boars have a layer of light armor protection, their tough epidermis and high-density muscle tissue have excellent defense capabilities. This defense is their natural advantage."

"But the werewolves, fox people, kobolds, and our human race do not have such an innate advantage."

While saying this, Zhao Pan's eyes swept over the representatives of the White Wolf Patriarch Wade, the White Fox Patriarch Ka Xin, and the Kobold General Gou Shan.

"In other words, in the case of being directly hit, the strange weapon on the opposite side is a deadly threat to us."

Along with these words, the atmosphere in the battle meeting room became obviously a little more solemn.

Even Hu Xie, who has always been quite confident in his own strength, did not speak at this moment, because the goggles on the table belonged to him...

At that time, when the orc troops retreated collectively, facing the salvo of the dwarf musketeers, it was simply unrealistic to dodge them all.

The projectile that flew out just hit the goggles and his gauntlet without causing any substantial damage to him, which was fortunate.

Perhaps feeling the dignified atmosphere in the battle meeting room, Zhao Pan, who was relieved, changed his words slightly...

"But you don't need to be pessimistic. According to my observation, although the weapon is powerful, it is not invincible, and its weakness is also obvious."

"The first is the range. The effective range of the weapon is no more than 100 meters. The basis is that in the previous battle, the opponent kept firing at a distance of tens of meters. This is undoubtedly to ensure lethality."

"The second is the attack frequency. His attack frequency is very slow. After one attack, it takes about 20 seconds of preparation time before the second attack."

"Of course, in order to make up for this shortcoming, the opponent divided the troops under his hand into several batches and adopted a multi-stage attack. However, as long as the opportunity is seen, there is still an opportunity."

"The last is power. As I said just now, in the case of direct hits, there is a fatal threat to us, but conversely, as long as we don't directly hit the vitals."

"And according to the large shield strength of the large shield soldiers, they can resist that attack."

"Next, I will confirm the tactical arrangement with everyone in turn!"
