Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane

The first round of the battle between the Ming Sailor Expedition and the guards of the Mayan Elite Temple came hurriedly and went quickly.

According to Daming's standard configuration at this time, a hundred-man team has 10 gunslingers, 20 swordsmen, 30 archers, and 40 spearmen.

The guns used at this time were still the fire guns modified from the Song dynasty guns in the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, they were miniaturized hand guns for single use. The overall shape of this thing is very similar to that of a flintlock gun with a thick bamboo tube, and it is a cylindrical shape similar to a bamboo tube.

This weapon uses gunpowder as the driving force to eject multiple stone bullets or arrows, etc., which is easy to operate and powerful.

But because of the long journey and repeated encounters with wind and waves, there is not much gunpowder on the ship. The limited amount of gunpowder also needs to be used by ship guns such as Wankou blunderbuss.

In addition, the hot and humid weather in the Yucatan Peninsula is not conducive to the use of gunpowder weapons, so in fact, this 300-person expedition does not have a firecracker.

Knife players use waist knives and typical Ming dynasty vertical shields as the core of protection and extremely close combat.

Needless to say the archer, it means literally.

The bows used by fleet archers have a pulling force between 60 pounds and 100 pounds, with around 82 pounds being the most common. This is the 60-jin bow of the Ming Dynasty.

However, there are also a few Hercules in the team that use heavier bows, which are all over 120 pounds.

Among them were Captain Huang who didn't seem very strong, and Lu Yuan.

Along the way, Lu Yuan used a one hundred and sixty-pound bow to scare back how many people.

The last is the long spear, which is still the main weapon in this era when firearms did not occupy an absolute majority.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there were roughly three types of military guns, and the most commonly used by sailors was the long spear, which was about three to five meters in length.

However, although Lu Yuan’s team had similar strengths except for the firecrackers, because it was a naval battle to land warfare, the action area was a tropical rain forest, and the dense vegetation had poor visibility, so there were more sword players in the team.

Not only has the number of pikemen been reduced, but the barrels of their guns have also been much shorter.

When marching, the sword players are the first part, followed by the spearmen, then the archers, and finally a part of the sword players, so as to focus on defense and have both offense and defense.

After all, to deal with the aboriginal fighters here, annihilating the enemy is not the main goal, but it is more important to protect yourself.

At this time, he was attacked by the shrine guards who suddenly jumped out of the jungle, and the foremost sword player in the team immediately set up his hand to block the opponent's bow, arrow, sling, and even spear attack.

The spearman behind him immediately set up a long pole, handed out the sharp spear tip above the shield that was raised, and easily pierced the soft armor of the temple warrior.

And the weapons of the Mayan warriors, not to mention the stones thrown and the obsidian arrows thrown by the weak bow, are those spears that can't break through the defense of the sword players.

The individual spears that stretched out from the gap between the shields were quickly wiped out by the sword players holding the knives, and they became long sticks with little lethality.

The civilization here is too far away from the Eurasian continent where it has been fighting for years, and the research on **** each other and how to avoid being killed by people is too lagging.

The two factions of men and horses fought in less than a minute, and the temple guards dropped dozens of corpses. The only damage to the sailor expedition was the bruise after scattered arrows hit the leather armor.

When the Mayan side found that the team on Luyuan's side not only had sharp teeth but also had hard shells, they retreated without hesitation and fled into the jungle.

The dense tropical jungle here has caused a lot of suffering for the Da Ming sailors who live in a world with four distinct seasons, and naturally no one said anything to chase into the forest.

The so-called don't enter every forest, old oilers are not stupid.

However, after this refurbishment, not only Captain Huang hesitated to go deeper if he risked a major attrition, but even Lu Yuan frowned secretly, thinking about something in his heart.

Because some of the previous Mayan fighters have already used weapons captured from mercenaries.

Although those steel long swords and spears caused little trouble to Lu Yuan, that was not the point.

The point is that Lu Yuan saw a mark of deja vu from the sword guard held by a Mayan warrior.

It is a circle of white bones.

At first, Lu Yuan just felt that the mark was familiar, and didn't think much about it.

But when the conflict stopped and his brain was idle, he could no longer control his thoughts on this thing.

Soon, he remembered the reason why he thought this thing was familiar.

Because not long ago, he saw this mark in Europe. Also on some weapons like long swords.

The holders of those weapons were those who finally got her Isu holy sword in Angland after Joan of Arc was captured.

That is, the former Templars who were secretly transferred to the ground after the French king banned the Knights Templar.

Lu Yuan really didn't expect to see a symbol used by the Angland Templars on a soldier's weapon of a Ming Dynasty nobleman.

No, you can't call them Templars.

At this time, Lu Yuan also slowly recalled some information he had neglected in the past.

The new organization formed by these former Templars who went underground is called the Inner Ring Group, or Ring.

Lu Yuan thought so at first.

But judging from the information he collected later, it was just an abbreviation. The full name is the Circle of Ossus, Circle of Ossus.

The so-called Ossus is the plural form of bone in Latin.

So this organization is actually called the circle of bones. Or, the White Bone Group.

The reason for the name seems to be that they thought it was a new organization re-established on the burnt-down skeletons of the Knights Templar.

He not only inherited the will of the Templars, but also expressed his attitude of not forgetting his former enemies.

Probably because of this, they chose the feud of the King to develop their power.

However, if their power has expanded to the east in just a hundred years, and even absorbed a new type of empire’s nobles, then their plot is obviously much greater than revenge for the Knights Templar. .

I don't know what happened to them from here to the Knights Templar that Swallow met in the steampunk world, and asked them to change their names back.

Or is it said that this is already happening on two different timelines and will not overlap in the future?

Lu Yuan couldn't determine these things now, but he was certain to determine another thing, that is, the reason why the general soldier Wang came here for thousands of miles.

If that guy is a Templar, and a Templar with a certain Isu creation, then it is not surprising that he can lead the fleet out of the predicament just right along the way.

And the purpose of his coming here is just about to come out.

Isu sacred artifacts.
