The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

In addition, this kind of heavy-duty armor is not like steel plate armor, which is a large-area armor piece. Once damage occurs, the entire armor piece must be replaced at once. Since each piece of steel plate armor has different sizes, It is also very troublesome to have workers produce replacement armor parts according to their sizes.

The nail piercing is different. The sizes and specifications of the nail pieces are the same. After damage occurs, you only need to replace the damaged nail pieces. It is very convenient and will not put any pressure on the logistics department. However, this does not mean that Ye Tianlong will not make armor such as steel plate armor in the future. After all, although steel plate armor is more troublesome to maintain than pierced armor, it is actually better than pierced armor in terms of defense and weight, so Ye Tianlong is prepared This steel plate armor is actually used to equip elite heavy-armed knights. Unfortunately, except for the few team members summoned from the real world, he now has no elite heavy-armed knights, not even a decent cavalry, let alone any elite heavy-armed knights.

In addition to these armors, Ye Tianlong also asked the factory to start mass-manufacturing various muskets and artillery parts. After all, if muskets and artillery are to be used well, they require a lot of training. During the training, there will definitely be consumption, so naturally It is necessary to prepare more spare parts.

Another consumable weapon is a grenade. Because it uses black powder, Ye Tianlong and Murong Jie designed it to be very large. The size is almost as big as some small watermelons, which also makes them homemade. The grenades are very heavy, so you must choose soldiers with high enough strength to be able to throw them.

In order to reduce its weight while ensuring its power, Ye Tianlong and the others are also looking for ways to improve it, such as adding some sharp iron nails and iron pieces to the inside of the grenade, which is what Ye Tianlong did with his previous homemade explosive packs.

Because the research has not yet matured, Ye Tianlong is only planning to make a few hundred of this grenade for the soldiers to try out, and then modify it based on the soldiers' feedback.

And with all kinds of equipment in place, the training of the group of armed civilians has finally got on the right track. At least now these guys are able to complete commands such as left and right turns relatively skillfully, and will not be as dominant as they were at the beginning. Regardless, if you issue just one command, the queue will become a mess.

So Ye Tianlong and the others also started the next stage of training, preparing these armed civilians to master the most classic three-stage attack tactics of the fusiliers.

It's a pity that Ye Tianlong and the others have just started this new stage of training, and their camp Novice Village encountered a huge crisis.

This morning, as soon as Ye Tianlong went online, a man who went to cut firewood hurried over and reported bad news to him. That is, while he was cutting firewood in a forest by the sea, he discovered something appearing on the sea. There were more than a dozen large and small pirate ships.

When Ye Tianlong heard about this, he immediately became vigilant. After all, more than a dozen pirate ships appeared together, and there must be a lot of pirates on them. Regardless of whether the other party was coming for him, he had to be ready for battle. .

Soon, several other team members also came online. After Ye Tianlong told several people the bad news, he immediately began various pre-war preparations.

Because those armed civilians were far from being trained, and could only barely learn how to shoot, and their close combat abilities were completely in shambles, so naturally they could not be dragged out to fight with the pirates in the field, and could only hide in the camp and fight defensive battles.

However, because the city wall has not yet been built and the camp is surrounded by bare areas, Ye Tianlong can only ask his men to collect the empty snakeskin bags that were used to contain various building materials and fill them with soil, sand and gravel. , formed into crude fortifications, and several more barbed wire fences with sharp blades were stretched around the perimeter.

Just when Ye Tianlong was about to have people dig some traps further out, the group of pirates had already arrived.

Ye Tianlong checked with a telescope and found that the group of pirates was indeed very large. A rough scan showed that the number of soldiers was at least [-], which was more than the number of soldiers under Baron Saul.

Moreover, these pirates are all extremely well-equipped. They all have at least a set of chain armor for protection. Some of the pirate leaders are even equipped with heavy armor such as hard leather armor and plate and chain composite armor.

While Ye Tianlong was observing the pirates on the opposite side with a telescope, among the group of pirates on the opposite side, a pirate leader who was wearing the same full-body plate armor of King Haraus and a certain horn helmet was also looking at him. Looking at the simple camp not far across the way, he asked an old man beside him.

"Potts, you old boy really didn't lie to me. Is that small businessman from overseas really rich?"

That's right, next to the pirate leader was Potts, the butler who had been expelled from his territory by Baron Saul.

And now it seems that he has succeeded and found a new partner. Although this pirate king named Abaddon is not a nobleman, the pirates under his command are obviously more powerful than Baron Thor.

Seeing that the opponent had so many soldiers, Potts had the idea of ​​using him to help him get revenge. He might have some concerns about Sol, the baron who was personally conferred by the king, but for Ye Tianlong, a small maritime businessman, he There are no worries at all.

In the past few days, he had been boasting to the pirate king about how rich Ye Tianlong, a sea merchant, was. Finally, he was moved. Then he recalled most of his subordinates from various places in one go to form the current three-man team. An army of more than a hundred people was preparing to plunder Ye Tianlong's camp.

Abaddon naturally saw that what Potts said was not necessarily true, but now that he had personally observed it, he found that the other camp did not even have a decent wall, and there were not many soldiers inside, so he was going to kill this camp first. After the camp was taken down, he would search it carefully. If he couldn't find enough property by then, he would kill Potts as a warning to others who dared to deceive him, the pirate king Abaddon.

At this time, Potts also saw the murderous intent hidden in the eyes of the pirate king. After he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, he bravely answered: "Yes, Lord Abaddon, this pirate Shang is really rich. The gift he gave to my baron before was worth tens of thousands of dinars. I heard that he also has a large amount of precious goods shipped from overseas, and the total value is definitely more than one million dinars. , after doing this, you and your brothers can rely on this money to retire and enjoy a good life like a noble master!"

"Okay! Then I'll believe you for now!" Abaddon patted Potts on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Then he winked to a trumpeter beside him, who immediately grabbed a horn and blew it hard.

After hearing the deep and deep sound of the trumpet, the pirates immediately began to gather. After a few minutes, they formed three square formations that looked a little twisty. At the same time, they attacked Ye Tianlong from three directions. The camp slowly pressed forward.

In the camp, upon seeing this, Ye Tianlong and the others quickly arranged the fifty armed civilians into bunkers in these three directions. In addition, the six cannons in the camp were also arranged in these three directions. above.

In the end, Ye Tianlong and the others improvised a few simple small catapults to throw homemade grenades as big as watermelons. After all, there are really not many strong soldiers in the camp who can handle these heavy grenades. ah!

After arranging all this, Ye Tianlong took four team members with better riding skills, including Li Rufeng, Luo Chenguang and Zhou Jiale, and rode out of the camp on their horses. They quickly approached the group of pirates and prepared to ask them. What is Kou's purpose?

As a result, Ye Tianlong and the others had just approached about [-] meters away when dozens of archers among the pirates fired arrows at them. If Ye Tianlong and the others had not been well-equipped, this round of arrow rain alone would probably have killed them. It caused a lot of damage. After all, the NPC soldiers in this world have obviously much higher combat IQs than those in the original riding and slashing game. They all already know how to predict. Unlike in the original game, as long as they ride If the horse can run fast enough, most of the arrows fired by the crossbowmen will miss.

But under the current situation, at least one-third of the dozens of arrows fired successfully hit Ye Tianlong and the others as well as the sitting horses.

Seeing the opponent's posture, Ye Tianlong understood that the opponent's attack on his camp this time was probably not a misunderstanding. The opponent obviously had no intention of talking to him. In this case, there was no other choice but to fight.

So Ye Tianlong and the others quickly returned to the camp with their arrows.

At this time, the atmosphere in the camp seemed very tense. After all, there were more than [-] pirates! Moreover, the equipment is very sophisticated. Such a large group of pirates is probably enough to storm a town like Odasan, so can the craftsmen and civilians in the camp not be nervous!

But perhaps because the wars in this world almost never stop, the indigenous people in this world know that running around at this time will only make them die faster, so no one chooses to do so. Escape from the side that is not surrounded by pirates, but are ready to fight. Some civilians who were issued steel knives because of their outstanding work performance have already used the tools in the camp to give them steel knives. A long wooden handle was added and modified into a long-handled sword similar to a plain sword, and the job was directly changed from a civilian husband to a two-handed hero.

Seeing that these civilians were so virtuous, Ye Tianlong moved out of the warehouse the armors and weapons he had captured from fighting monsters in the past few days, and armed the remaining more than a hundred craftsmen and civilians. Lest the pirates break through the defense line of the armed civilians in front and rush into the camp, each of these civilians will be unarmed and powerless to resist.

Ye Tianlong's approach really gave those civilians and craftsmen a lot of sense of security. After all, the trophies that Ye Tianlong and the others looked down upon were, in the eyes of these poor civilians, only those regular soldiers with good equipment. Something! With these equipment, they are already confident that two or three people can join forces to kill a pirate.
