Take the Empire To the Other World

Chapter 119 Expensive Artillery

Artillery itself has no grades, they are just ordinary people with strong bodies, but the value of artillery lies in their knowledge and experience in operating artillery!

Therefore, the price of artillery and the artillery they control is much higher than that of the cavalry and infantry in front!

The cheapest 6-pound infantry field gun needs a full 1,000 magic stone gold coins to give 24 artillery pieces, 4 artillery pieces and equipped with horses...

Each artilleryman also needs a monthly salary of 1 magic stone gold coin!

The 6-pound cavalry gun at the back is directly doubled, requiring 2,000 magic stone gold coins, the scale is the same as that of the infantry field gun, and the monthly salary of the artillery is the same.

In fact, the monthly salary of all artillerymen is 1 magic stone gold coin. After all, they have similar skills, and they are all skilled artillerymen with rich experience.

However, the recruitment prices of different artillery vary greatly.

The recruiting price for the 12-pound infantry field gun is 5,000 magic stone gold coins. Although the range and power of the 12-pound infantry field gun are much higher than the previous two types of artillery, the price increase really made Wang Ziming's teeth ache...

Of course, the artillery is also assigned to a team of 24 people and 4 guns.

The 24-pound siege cannon at the back is even more excessive, and the recruitment price is directly increased to 10,000 magic stone gold coins, 24 people and 4 cannons for a team!

Wang Ziming really can't understand this kind of recruitment price that increases according to multiples...

But one thing Wang Ziming can be sure of is that he is doomed to miss the artillery behind him...

After hope was dashed, Wang Ziming looked at the follow-up 6-inch howitzers and Congreve rockets. The price was exactly the same as the hiring price of the 24-pound siege cannon, and the artillery configuration was also a team of 24 men and 4 guns.

The 6-inch howitzer is the original howitzer. It is incomparable with the mature long-barreled howitzer of the Zilong Federation. There is no comparison in terms of range or hit rate!

The weapon technology of the Napoleon Total War game scene is almost a generation behind the Zilong Federal Army.

In terms of muskets, there is a gap between mature Minie muzzle-loading guns and flintlock guns. In terms of artillery, field guns that are still firing solid bullets and shotguns, as well as primitive howitzers that can only be used as curved-fire guns, are in line with the mature length of Zilong Federation. Tube howitzer compared.

The Congreve rocket is a long-distance, low-accuracy weapon that relies on coverage to kill the enemy. It has good power and range, but it is still not comparable to the mature howitzer of the Zilong Federation.

It can be said that these weapons are rare and heavy weapons in today's different space, but in the real world, they are old weapons that have been eliminated by the Zilong Federation, which are almost on the same level as the military technology of the Charles Empire in the real world.

However, even the Charles Empire has now purchased a large number of active-duty Longzheng rifles from the Zilong Federation, which is still not comparable to the army of the flintlock era.

The effective range of the Longzheng rifle is within 400 meters. If the flintlock gun exceeds 200 meters, you don’t know where the bullet will go.

Therefore, it is okay for these expensive artillery princes to move to the real world to bully the natives and non-government armed forces. When they meet the regular army of the Zilong Federation, they will immediately kneel down...

Like Tier 2 and Tier 3 Cavalry and Infantry, Wang Ziming ignored all the artillery behind the 6-pound infantry field gun after looking at the artillery price.

Wang Ziming now only has 13,566 gold and 55 silver, and he can't even match a few teams of 6-pound infantry field guns. How can he dare to look at the prices of the artillery teams behind?

Even if it was a 6-pound infantry field gun, Wang Ziming felt that he didn't need to exchange it for the time being. After all, he was only facing demonized creatures with outdated equipment.

In a different space, it is enough to hug the thick legs of a big country in the total war game scene.

If you simply exchange for the most cost-effective Tier 1 soldiers, Wang Ziming still has a lot of capital.

Regardless of the price of the following units, just look at the Tier 1 soldiers. The recruiting base for mercenaries in this total war game scene is quite powerful.

If he had known that Tier 1 soldiers in Total War games were so cheap and had more advanced weapons, Wang Ziming would not have recruited so many senior Swedish town militiamen!

"I have enough troops now, let's exchange 1,000 line infantry first. Although the light infantry has slightly better shooting ability than the line infantry, its discipline, organization and melee combat ability are not as good as the line infantry. The light infantry also uses flintlocks. Guns, it’s still a good deal to use line infantry.”

There is a brief introduction of each unit on the exchange price list, so Wang Ziming has a good understanding of the weapons they use.

Only Tier 2 hunters will use rifled rifles, the kind of front-loading rifles that require a small hammer to knock the stabs and bullets in bit by bit...

There is no comparison with the mature Longzheng rifle of Zilong Federation!

You know, the reloading speed of the Longzheng rifle is no different from that of a smoothbore gun!

This is also the reason why Wang Ziming is unwilling to spend 10 times the price to hire Tier 2 soldiers.

As for Tier 3 soldiers... Hehehe!

After reading the exchange list given by Schwarzenegger, Wang Ziming realized how poor he was!

He silently warned himself in his heart that if it is not necessary in the future, he must save up the precious magic stone gold coins!

The mercenaries in the total war game scene this time have refreshed Wang Ziming's three views, and soldiers with more advanced weapons have become cheaper.

When it comes to red alert, Wang Ziming doesn't have high requirements, as long as the most basic conscripts can be so cheap, he can unify the real world!

However, when Wang Ziming recruited 1,000 line infantry from Schwarzenegger and spent only 10 magic stone gold coins, Wang Ziming suddenly found that his different space territory could not make a mature flintlock gun!

You must know that wars in this era consume more than just ammunition. Smoothbore guns have a service life based on the number of shots. If Wang Ziming's different space territory cannot be supplemented with flintlock guns, the line infantry will have no spare flintlock guns. supplied……

But Wang Ziming quickly realized that this didn't seem to be a big problem, because with the enemies he was facing, it was difficult for the line infantry to fight undeadly. When the time came, it would be enough to use the dead man's weapon as a backup musket.

Just like the current Swedish senior town militiamen, although the different space territory has the ability to build arquebus guns, it has never built a matchlock gun so far. The reason is very simple. Guns will suffice...

Even the handicraft workshops in the different space territories of black powder and lead bullets produce very little, all supported by trophies and ammunition collected from fallen soldiers.

This is the benefit of winning a battle. The gains on the battlefield alone are not cheap. After all, with the rate of fire of muskets in this era, ammunition consumption in battle is very slow.

It was almost dawn after completing the deal with Schwarzenegger. After Wang Ziming placed the newly recruited line infantry, his consciousness returned to the real world.

Unexpectedly, in the early morning, a group of magical creatures that had never been seen surrounded the Land of Hope!
