Chapter 1171: : Cost-effective choice

, The fastest update of the latest chapter of science and technology!
Of course, the reason why firearms can achieve magical effects on the battlefield is not to say that the power of firearms crushes magic. The main reason is that the magicians, knights and other extraordinary people did not guard against the insurgents to have weapons such as firearms. In their world, long-range weapons are only crossbows, where can you imagine there are weapons with such a long range.
If there is any precaution, the magicians are ready to defend magic early. Even if they cannot completely resist the attack of the firearms, at least they can weaken the power of the firearms to a certain extent. Therefore, it is conceivable that after a certain understanding of firearms, the results of the insurgent army's reliance on firearms will definitely be affected.
However, anyway, the insurgents have firearms, at least a force against the enemy's extraordinary.
The insurgents under the city quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and set up a long ladder to start the city wall. The firearms supported by the church are not enough to arm everyone, so most insurgents still use cold weapons such as lances and swords. It's just that the insurgents completely lost their previous panic, one by one howling and waving the weapons in their hands, and rushed up the wall along the long ladder.
Besides, on the city walls, although the defenders lost a lot of extraordinary people, it did not mean that there was no force to fight back. After all, the gunmen on the rebel side were only trained for more than ten days, and they were far from being sharpshooters. Even if they use sniper rifles, it is impossible to kill all the extraordinary at once.
Seeing the insurgents rushed to the city wall, the city defense forces and the extraordinary people also returned to God, and immediately went forward to engage in a fierce battle with the insurgents who climbed the city, trying to drive these insurgents out of the city. Moreover, those extraordinary people who defended the city also found the opportunity to exercise their abilities without showing their heads, and suddenly all kinds of light shone on the city's head again.
Balls of fireballs, ice cones, and lightnings swept across the insurgents who had just climbed up. At such a distance, if the magicians use only single magic, it will not affect the people on their side. In addition, the insurgents and the city defense forces have not yet been completely entangled, even on the city's head, they are still quite distinct.
Moreover, in addition to the magician, there are also knights who are superior to the defenders, but they are definitely melee. I saw those knights like iron cans, which inspired the fighting, turned into a human torch, blocked in front of the insurgents, waved the sword in their hands and harvested their heads.
"Bang, bang!" The gunshot sounded again.
Only this time, with the sound of gunfire falling down, in addition to some soldiers and extraordinary men on the side of the city, many people on the side of the insurgents also suffered. After all, the gunmen on the side of the insurgent army have only practiced for more than ten days. Naturally, the marksmanship cannot be so amazing. In addition, the insurgents who attacked the city are also blocked between the gunmen and the defenders, and they will inevitably be injured by accident.
Speaking of which, in terms of firearms and weapons, Ye Zan actually has more advanced firearms, such as energy beam weapons, such as weapons with intelligent auxiliary functions. However, the weapons Ye Zan equips the insurgents are still relatively primitive gunpowder firearms on the other side of the technological world, which is the type used in the wilderness area. Moreover, Ye Zan did not attach any power to the firearms to enhance the various data of the firearms.
Pure gunpowder firearms have the advantages of simple manufacture, simple use, and low cost. It can be said that it is the best choice for armed "cannon fodder". Although the gunmen existed as elite troops in the rebel army's ranks, Ye Zan's eyes were no different from "cannon fodder".
There is a movie called "Xinghe Clan", which tells the story of the war between the human race and the zerg race. In this film, the setting of human science and technology has been criticized by many movie fans. After all, in terms of common sense, the humans in the movie have been able to colonize the stars, but the weapons used by soldiers are still backward gunpowder firearms. Among the soldiers' weapons, probably the most technologically advanced, is the tactical nuclear bomb the size of a grenade.
However, if you want to force rationalization, this setting in the movie is not incomprehensible. After all, to the extent that human science and technology has developed, human beings as a labor force may not have much value. To put it plainly, human life is worthless.
Therefore, from a dark perspective, in the war against the Zerg, the federal government allowed human soldiers to enter the landing operation and only provided backward gunpowder firearms. In fact, they just treated those soldiers as cannon fodder, and even took the initiative to hope that those soldiers would die in the war. After all, from the perspective of the federal government, the existence of a large number of idle unemployed people in society is often not a good thing for domination.
Since it is cannon fodder, it is obviously more cost-effective to equip him with high-value high-tech weapons than it is to equip them with low-value basic weapons. Those cannon fodder are destined to die on the battlefield. No weapon can be recovered. Therefore, as long as the cannon fodder is facing the Zerg, it will suffice. If it is not that the human race is too far related to the individual strength of the zerg, I am afraid that the federal government may wish to let them fight with bare hands.
Of course, Ye Zan, there is no "calculation" like the "Star River Corps" federal government, but the various insurgents are indeed cannon fodder on the "preaching." Therefore, in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is in the best interest to provide "backward" firearms to the insurgents.
Some people may think that Ye Zan's approach is too cruel. Obviously there are enough powerful weapons, but the insurgents will have to die for nothing. However, although the civilian uprising was driven by Ye Zan, wasn't it good for them to "beat the nobles and divide the fields"? The reason for the uprising of the civilians was not forcing them to raise their guns, but for "a better future." So, shouldn't it be reasonable to work for a "bright future" and even pay a corresponding price for it.
Ye Zan is a person from the world of science and technology. There is a world of spirituality separated from the world of Chen Xi. Although he doesn't regard human life as a mustard to the people in the dawn world, it is difficult for him to have much "empathy". After all, from the perspective of the world of science and technology, he and the "human" of Chen Xi's world are not even the same species.
The supply of firearms to the insurgents was purely because the insurgents were too weak to overthrow the power held by the descendants of the wizards. And if you want to achieve your goal, gunpowder is the most cost-effective choice. After all, even a more advanced weapon that is twice as powerful cannot get double the effect.
On the head of the city, the insurgents were quickly driven away, and with the sound of gunfire in the distance outside the city, the personnel on the side of the city began a lot of casualties. The insurgents used to serve as shields for them. Now they have driven the insurgents out of the city, but they have lost a barrier. However, among the large number of casualties, mainly ordinary soldiers, magicians and knights, etc., were not so easy to die after being prepared.
I saw those magicians, one by one holding up the magic shield, watching the metal bullets hit the magic shield, causing a ripple of ripples. At this time, because the bullet was nailed to the magic shield, they also understood the means used by the opposite side.
"What is this? Did they kill Carl with them!" A magician called, looking at the magic shield bullet in front of him.
"It looks like it should be a peculiar long-range weapon, like a slingshot for children. However, I don't know what projectile they are easy to use. This power is actually much stronger than the military crossbow!" Said some old magician Shen Sheng.
For the magician, although it is not completely restrained by long-range weapons, it does not have a good response to a certain extent. They don't know how the other side fired these projectiles, but they know that it takes their magic to cast a magic shield. Therefore, regardless of whether the opposite side can shoot at all times, they must not be on the magic shield at all times.
"They are out of the magic range, we have to think of a way!" Said the wizard, his face pale.
"We can't just be so passive, we should organize people to go out and solve the opposing team of shooters." Another wizard made a suggestion.
When defending the city, there is the protection of the wall. The defending side can be said to be at ease, just wait for the enemy to climb up, and then kill it with a sword. And when they went out of town to fight, the city walls lost their effect. They and the rebels were fighting face to face, and they really fought with their lives.
Therefore, the proposal to go out of town did not get everyone's response in the first place.
Perhaps, such weapons cannot be used casually in the hands of those pariahs! With this in mind, the people on the side of the city decided to wait and see what happened before making a decision.
The magician stepped back temporarily, after all, the magic shield cannot be opened for a long time, or it is safer to hide under the wall. And those who remained on the wall, that is, some low-level knights, and those ordinary soldiers led by them, were also carefully hiding on the wall.
Because no one took the lead, the gunfire on the side of the rebels also came down, and no team was sent to the city, and the entire battlefield fell into silence for a while.
However, this silence was only temporary, and after more than ten minutes, I suddenly saw a number of larger metal "warheads" in the rebel army's team. Moreover, the speed of the "warhead" is not fast. At least the trajectory of the flight can be seen by the naked eye, as if it came to the city wall.
"What's that, so slow?" A soldier mumbled for a moment when he saw the flying metal warhead from the battlements.
However, while the defender was still in doubt, the metal warheads flying to the city's head burst and burst into a deafening roar.
"Boom boom!"
The city wall trembled in the roar, and the rocks and shrapnel were flying around at the same time, just like a magician's bursting fireball, but the explosive force was obviously stronger than magic. Under the explosion, the soldiers around them could be blood mold, the closer one was directly torn by the shock wave, and the further one was shot into a sieve by flying stones and shrapnel. Almost, a metal warhead cleared an empty space on the city wall, and no one could stand at all within the explosion range.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, that is, those knights who are fighting with themselves, it is difficult to survive the explosion with the protection of fighting. At best, they are better than ordinary soldiers. They don't die so happily, but fall to the ground and mourn.
"What a ghost thing! We can't wait like this, we must rush out and solve their team of shooters!" After knowing the tragic situation on the wall, the commander of the defending side finally made up his mind. After all, if you really want to use it up like this, no one will dare to go up to the city in the end, so how can you keep the city?
With the command of the commander, and others could not think of a better way, the defender finally organized a team. In addition to the common soldiers led by the Cavaliers, this team also has more than 20 magicians following. The idea they played was not really to join the rebel army, but to the magicians to the magic range, and rely on magic to solve the shooters in the rebel army.
The gates opened suddenly, the soldiers lined up, and the knights mounted their mounts ~ EbookFREE.me ~ surrounded by a group of magicians wearing robes. The team did not form the whole team in front of the city gate, and rushed directly to the side of the insurgents. They wanted to hit the insurgents by surprise. They did not forget that there were explosive warheads on the rebel side, so they did not dare to stay in one place.
"Bang, bang!" A series of gunfire came again from the insurgents.
The soldiers who rushed towards the insurgent troops, like the cut wheat in the sound of gunfire, screamed in rows and fell on the road of charge. However, the team's charge didn't stop for the slightest. Under the urging of the knights, they continued to charge stubbornly and stubbornly.
"Oh!" A few metal missiles fired, some fell behind that team, some fell to the left and right of the team, and of course some fell into the team. However, the magicians in that team did not dare to relax in the face of this situation. When they saw this, they each performed their own magic, and all kinds of magic welcomed the flying metal missiles.
Those metal missiles, after all, are relatively slow, which gives the magicians the chance to stop them. Various magic waves swept away, flooding those metal missiles instantly, and then a deafening roar was excited. The violent explosion even tore the magic into pieces, but after all, it did not fall into the team.
