Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 578 Cross-border trade is really huge profits

Regardless of the casualties, the attack speed and intensity of the 5 orcs were far beyond the fantasy movie war scenes that Chu Xiangqian had seen on TV and in movies.

At least in Chu Xiangqian's consciousness, there was absolutely no army that could watch the flames rushing toward him without retreating.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it was due to backward mining technology. The dwarf's jet engine only fired a few dozen times before it ran out of fuel.

Otherwise, the orcs would no longer have to attack the dwarf's mountain town. Even 5 orcs could burn it all, let alone people.

However, this also burned the orcs' battering rams and other siege weapons.

But what surprised Chu Xiangqian was that even if the orcs' large weapons were burned, it was not as easy as he thought to kill the orcs.

Even though the elves had unparalleled accuracy, when the first batch of thousands of orcs charged with their shields, as long as they protected their heads and bodies, the elves would not be able to kill them with one hit.

After centaur archers and orc spear throwers appeared in the military formation, the elves could only focus on these two troops.

Otherwise, if the centaurs and orc spear throwers are allowed to attack, the casualties on the city wall will increase greatly.

Because Chu Qianqian's eyes were slow to see things, it was not easy for the centaur archers to shoot him. In addition, he was wearing heavy armor like a can, so he was not afraid that ordinary arrows could penetrate the thick steel plate armor.

But like the elves, it was not difficult for him to shoot the orc spear throwers. However, the orcs behind the shields and the centaur archers who had always been wandering behind the military formation, a full three to four hundred meters away, were relatively difficult to shoot. It's not that easy to say.

After all, the centaur archers were far enough away from the city wall that it would take several seconds for the arrows to fly.

This gave the centaur archers time to dodge.

In just ten minutes, the shield orcs in the front row were already only ten or twenty meters away from the city wall.

The orcs then divided into several square formations and set up shields, forming a defensive wall composed of shields, which could also defend against arrows shot from above.

Chu Xiangqian soon discovered that there were dozens of orc teams under the shield, rushing up with wooden ladders.

An arrow passed through the gap in the shield and shot through the head of an orc, but it was useless to kill several orcs. The wooden ladder still quickly approached the city wall.

Moreover, in the orc army formation, the sound of horns was soon heard, and the thousands of orc troops in the third formation rushed towards them with shouts.

Go to support the two thousand orcs in the first and second formations.

With the addition of fresh troops and a lot of spear throwers in the third formation, orcs finally climbed onto the city wall, and the dwarves and elves finally suffered casualties.

But what shocked Chu Xiangqian again was that no matter whether he was an injured dwarf or an elf, after being escorted down the city wall, an elf magician would cast spells to heal the injured.

It only took a few seconds to confirm that the elves and dwarves had really cured the arrow wounds after a burst of light. Chu Xiangqian decided instantly that he must master the healing technique.

Even if magic or other extraordinary powers cannot be used in the real world, Chu Qianqian will still learn it.

Just as he was thinking about it, an orc suddenly jumped up from under the city wall. Without even thinking about it, Chu Qianqian pulled out the elf sword on his back and slashed the orc with a horizontal blade, easily cutting the orc and the weapon in half.

The dwarves and elves around him looked at him with a hint of fear.

Even though Chu Xiangqian's strength was only 6.9 at this time, when his strength was only one or two points, he could easily carry a blind bear weighing three to four hundred kilograms and walk several hundred meters.

His current strength is several times that of before. Not only is it much stronger than the elite dwarf warriors, Chu Qianqian can easily lift objects weighing a thousand kilograms.

This knife can naturally split the orc in half.

Once the first orc rushed up, there would naturally be a second and third one, and the dwarf heavily armored warriors suddenly started fighting with the orcs.

The good thing is that the orcs are in a hurry to attack the city, but the bad thing is that they can't build better siege weapons.

Dozens of wooden ladders also tell the dwarves that by guarding this section of the city wall, they can attack the orcs who rush up the city wall with less force.

A battle on the city wall would prevent the elves on the city wall from focusing entirely on shooting arrows to attack the orc spear throwers and centaur archers.

With less firepower, more orcs will rush forward.

When the fourth and fifth teams of thousands of orcs began to attack, the pressure to defend the city suddenly became much greater.

Even the elves had to draw their weapons and fight with the orcs who climbed up.

The battle lasted from noon to evening, and the orcs really exhausted 5 siege troops before dispatching their elite troops.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian understand why the large crossbow bed had not moved.

If there was no crossbow bed to kill the 3-meter-tall bugbear, the city wall might have been breached by the orcs.

Once the city is defeated, they will have to fight the orcs in close combat, and the casualties will inevitably be greater.

Chu Qianqian, who had been killing all afternoon, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the orcs withdrawing their troops.

Immediately, my legs felt a little weak, and my whole body began to show signs of weakness. Fortunately, my physical fitness was 15.8.

After just pausing for a moment, he took out a few sticks of dried meat from the storage compartment, chewed them up and swallowed them in his stomach. Then he drank a few glasses of water in big gulps, and the fatigue in his body disappeared little by little.

The elves and dwarves around saw him eating dried meat and taking out water out of thin air, and couldn't help but swallow their dry throats with envy.

When Chu Qianqian saw this, he was naturally not stingy. He took out four or five wooden boxes filled with dried meat and filled the wine barrels on the city wall with water.

For a moment, cheers came from the city wall again.

But what everyone didn't expect was that early the next morning, when the elves and dwarves were waiting, the orcs actually ran away overnight.

But if you think about it carefully, this is actually normal. Although the elves and dwarves suffered more than a thousand casualties during the afternoon battle yesterday, overall, the number of troops defending the city was still sufficient.

If this drags on for another two or three days, maybe other dwarf tribes will come to support.

When the time comes, the orcs will be surrounded from all sides, and the orcs will most likely be annihilated.

If it were Chu Xiang who came to command this orc army, he would probably retreat overnight like the other party.

No, if it were him, he would definitely take advantage of the tits to sneak attack the dwarves who came to support him.

The advantage of 5 orc elites attacking on the plains or ambushing hundreds or thousands of dwarves is too great.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian hurriedly found the dwarf lord and the forest elf lord to express his guess.

Fortunately, the dwarf lord is indeed as he said, and he is very clear about the methods of the orcs.

Last night, griffins were sent to monitor the orc army. Not only did they watch them break camp and leave in the middle of the night, they also sent out a scout team composed of elves and dwarves to monitor the orcs from a distance.

As for the pursuit, even if thousands of goat cavalry charge, it will be difficult to easily kill the 5 elite orc army.

Moreover, if a dwarf dies, it will take dozens or hundreds of years to cultivate and become talented.

But the orcs can cultivate an elite in seven to eight to ten years at most.

The birth rate is even more incomparable.

Chu Qianqian felt relieved, and then took the opportunity to ask what conditions were needed to learn healing techniques.

After hearing this, the two lords couldn't help but look at each other. In the end, it was the dwarf lord Allison. Seeing Chu's contribution to defending the city, he helped Chu Qianqian get the opportunity to learn magic from the elves. Three days passed quickly. When Chu Qianqian thought that he might not have the talent for magic, he suddenly found that the word "healing" appeared in the skill column after he reached level 20.

Draw the bow to kill the orcs on the game map, then put away the bow and arrows, and use your bare hands to deal with the one orc left behind.

After being hit with two sticks, Chu Qianqian wrapped his hands around the orc's neck. He roared and exerted force. There was a sudden click on the orc's neck, and he fell limply to the ground.

Chu took a few big breaths forward, and after calming down, he used a healing technique on himself.

A ray of light emerged from the hand, and then fell on the body. Within a few seconds, the injuries on the back and arms were healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed and used the healing technique on himself five more times, but his mind was only slightly uncomfortable.

According to the elf magic teacher, people with stronger mental power use magic more often.

But even he can only use it a dozen or twenty times a day before he becomes mentally exhausted.

If you forcefully use magic again, you may fall into a coma. Worse still, your energy will be damaged and you will become exhausted easily.

Based on his own situation, Chu Xiangqian guessed that it was most likely due to his physical condition.

The stronger the physique, the stronger the spirit will naturally be. Moreover, Chu Xiangqian's recovery ability is clearly shown after the physique exceeds 10. No matter how tired he is, he only needs to rest for a few minutes and he can recover quickly.

In the city defense battle a few days ago, he was the only one who killed the enemy on the top of the city from beginning to end.

At that time, I didn’t know how many arrows were fired and how many times they were chopped, but in each case, at least two to three hundred orcs were killed.

Not only has his legend spread among the dwarves, but even the elves now regard him as a hero.

Even the Elf Guards would bow their heads and say hello when they saw him now.

Elf Lord Bosco himself said that in order to thank him for saving more than a dozen elves while defending the city, the forest elves would build a set of elf armor and bows and arrows for him.

At the same time, this is also the reason why Bosco agreed to the dwarf lord and let the magician teach Chu Qianqian magic.

After learning how to heal, Chu Xiangqian naturally wanted to learn more magic.

But before returning to Gaoshan Town to meet the dwarves and elves, Chu Xiangqian was already thinking about how to get more gold or other good things from the dwarves and elves.

After much deliberation, the 3 Lao Maozi Mosingan rifles and 10 bullets that we traded with China last time can be considered.

Just comparing lever rifles and bows and arrows in the wizarding world, it's really hard to determine which one is better and which one is worse.

The range of the forest elves' bows and arrows is anywhere from five to six hundred meters, or even thousands of meters.

The lethality of arrows may be much greater than that of rifle bullets.

But with a rifle, your arm will become weak after pulling the bow dozens of times.

However, the rifle is not as concealed as the bow and arrow, and the sound of the gun is so loud that the position will be revealed when firing.

Fortunately, elves may not purchase it, but dwarves will most likely buy it.

And even if he quoted the unit price of a Mosingan rifle as 1 gold coins and the price of a bullet as a gold coin, the dwarf would not hesitate now.

As for whether the emergence of rifles would break the balance of power in the world, Chu Xiangqian didn't care at all.

Dwarf muskets are naturally far inferior to lever rifles, but this also means that it is difficult for dwarves to understand how to mass-produce metal shell bullets in a short period of time.

If you only make bullets by hand, not only will the quantity be extremely limited, but the specifications will also be more or less different.

This determines that if you want to fight a war with hundreds of people holding rifles, it may take three to five months to reserve bullets.

In the end, the dwarf riflemen will 100% become like the elf archers, striving to kill an enemy with every bullet.

This cannot be said to be bad, but World War I and World War II in the real world have proven that precise shooting far represents elites, and elites also mean that the number is small.

And once it dies, if you want to cultivate it again, it won't be a problem for three to five years, and it will be normal for ten or eight years.

At the same time, a lot of bullets must be consumed.

This determines that even if the alpine dwarves expand outward, the expansion speed will definitely not be fast.

Tens or hundreds of years later, maybe Chu Xiangqian himself would have gone to see God.

After entering Stromgarde, Chu Xiangqian set up a carriage, loaded 10 boxes of 300 Mosingan rifles and rounds of ammunition, and headed towards Gaoshan Town.

When they arrived at the place, when the two lords saw the rifle, their expressions were similar to what Chu Xiangqian had guessed.

The Elf Lord frowned at first, then with disgust, and finally with deep concern.

He was worried that the appearance of rifles would change the elves' tradition of practicing bows and arrows. It could even be said that, to a certain extent, bows and arrows were the foundation of elves.

But to dwarves, this thing is an upgraded version of the musket.

Not only is his ability to accept it extremely high, but he also figured out how to use it in a few seconds.

He took Chu Qianqian to the outside of the town and watched with his own eyes as the musketeer easily hit a tree trunk a few hundred meters away with a Mosingan rifle.

Moreover, the shooting speed is at least four or five times faster than that of a musket.

Just the consumption of ammunition also made the dwarf lord a little worried.

But when I think about having this kind of rifle, when defending the city in the future, any young dwarf or older dwarf can be easily trained to become a hot shot, which means that the dwarf's combat effectiveness and combat potential will increase several times.

Not to mention one gold coin per bullet, even if it was 2 or 5 coins, he would not hesitate.

As for Chu Qianqian's statement that he had 10 bullets in his hand, it was actually only 10 gold coins, or a 1-ton gold nugget.

The overall size of a ton of gold is actually only half the size of a suitcase.

Compared to the wealth accumulated by the dwarves over countless years, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is only a drop in the bucket.

As for the three thousand rifles, they are only 3 tons of gold.

Chu Qianqian looked at the dwarf lord and ordered his men to bring 4 tons, a full 4 yuan, and 10 kilograms of gold nuggets directly in front of him.

Suddenly I felt like I was being sold cheaply.

But if you think about it carefully, a Mosingan rifle on the market at this time costs more than ten dollars at most, and even the M1 Garand rifle only costs twenty or thirty dollars.

What is really expensive is actually how to transport the weapons to the buyers.

And 1 gold coins is equal to 1 grams, which is almost 1.12 US dollars.
