Baron Claire took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the two butlers stepped aside knowingly.
Then, he lowered his voice and asked, "Sir Yaro, how many grenades can we have?"
Yaro looked at the explosion crater in front and explained: "If we want to achieve this kind of power, the materials here can only make a hundred bombs at most."
The power of earthen gunpowder is limited. If you want to threaten the heavily armed armor, you must increase the amount of gunpowder.
It goes without saying that a lot of the materials left in Lan'er Village will need to be imported.
"Can we still make it in the future?" Baron Claire asked quickly, "It would be better to have tens of thousands. Only with this number can we directly defeat the invasion of the San Fernando Empire."
"Ten thousand pieces?"
Arrow frowned, looked at Baron Claire, and said angrily: "What do you think this is? A stone on the roadside?"
What is the concept of tens of thousands?
Enough to plow the San Fernando Empire Army!
However, Yaro did not have the time or the magic stones to prepare so many grenades.
Under the shadow of the hot air balloon, Baron Claire's confidence was inexplicably lacking. He licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice:
"You... said before that there is a 'treasure that can help us solve our dilemma'. This thing is not powerful enough. If there is not enough quantity..."
not enough?
It is a threat to formal knights, and ordinary soldiers will explode into a large area.
In this semi-ancient battlefield, a hundred grenades are enough to affect the outcome of the war!
Isn't this enough?
"Baron Claire, you are too greedy!"
Yaro interrupted him and scolded him mercilessly:
"You were able to fight bravely and keep the situation at a stalemate before, and now you are just waiting for me to solve the problem?"
"That's right, I said 'treasure that can help solve our dilemma'. Listen clearly, it's 'help', not directly solve it for you!"
"This is not my hometown. I have no relatives or friends here. Including the castle I live in now, it is only rented from you!"
"The Earldom, the San Fernando Empire, including the Kingdom of Llanelli, these places are not my hometown, and they make no difference to me."
"I am willing to help you, just because the senior officials of the viscounty are dead, and I need some people to help me manage it. I have lived in Perrin Castle for so long, and I can use you people appropriately. I don't want to change it for the time being. !”
In fact, there are more reasons for Yaro to help them.
Emotional aspects:
Overthrow the Viscounty's bloody method of extracting materials for wizards, establish a witcher academy to train a large number of witchers, recruit serfs, lower tax rates, and divide the fields...
Compared with the surroundings, the Count's approach is like a green lotus blooming in the mud, dazzling and unforgettable!
Those who hold wages for everyone should not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow; those who open the way for freedom should not let them get trapped in thorns.
If you like it, then help, act chivalrously, and have a clear conscience.
This may not be without rational consideration.
For example, the geographical location of the earldom, for example, to control people's hearts (especially like the nominal student - Bevin), for example, the theory of contradiction (there is no main contradiction, the secondary contradiction is the main contradiction), for example, to prepare for the possible arrest...
It should be supported based on emotion, reason, and even profit.
It’s just that there is no need to tell all these things.
Yarrow stared closely at Baron Kral and concluded slowly: "What I need are allies, warriors with the will to fight, not a group of 'giant babies' with insatiable desires."
"But..." Baron Claire opened his mouth, his face getting uglier and he hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say.
After losing the duel in their first meeting, and after seeing Yarrow's mysterious methods time and time again, Baron Claire now has no confidence to speak harshly.
But, isn't the reason why Baron Krall disobeyed Miss Myrina and helped Yaro assassinate Red Ranelli to solve the crisis in the earldom?
What does that count now?
You don't recognize anyone's pants when you mention it?
Yaro didn't know what Claire was thinking at all, and felt a little strange when he saw his expression of being angry but afraid to speak.
He has made it so clear, what does his expression mean?
"God helps those who help themselves, and people will always help those who help themselves." Don't you understand such a simple truth?
Baron Claire took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Yaro, the power of grenades is too small. This quantity cannot solve any problem at all!"
"Although this kind of thing can threaten formal knights, it is hardly fatal. As for ordinary soldiers, it doesn't matter at all. I can easily defeat a large group without this kind of thing."
After hearing Baron Kral's explanation, Yaro suddenly understood.
Baron Clare, and even all the nobles, do not understand what war is!
No... It should be said that they didn't know anything about what Yaro thought was common sense in war!
Attacking half-crossed, waiting for work, becoming horns, water and fire are merciless... In just a moment, Yaro can recall countless classic cases.
These treasures of civilization are scattered in the memory of the previous life. If necessary, as long as you see a similar situation, you can directly copy the answers to the question bank.
And every answer may be a unique plan that one, or even many, peerless geniuses worked out through hard thinking and research under the circumstances at that time!
Although if Yaro is really allowed to take command, he will inevitably end up with a war on paper, but the enemy on the opposite side is not in vain. A real war on paper is better than a 'village-level fight', right?
It was precisely because he thought about this clearly that Yaro suddenly understood why the earldom occupied a dangerous place and was surrounded by people directly at the door of his house in a short period of time.
Yaro asked tentatively: "Have you not thought about concentrating the grenades, and when the elite troops on the other side attack the city, throw the grenades out, directly defeat the enemy's elite troops, and then take the opportunity to cover up the enemy, like herding sheep, and drive the defeated troops towards the city?" Enemy camp?"
This is not a strategy, it is just a normal battlefield technique.
Normally, they attack the weak points of the army and then drive them to defeat, thereby defeating the strong with the weak, or reducing their own casualties.
Now that there are grenades, you can completely reverse the situation and directly attack the enemy's strongest team.
"Ah? Is it okay?" Baron Claire was stunned. He had no specific usage at all.
Seeing Claire's appearance, Yaro became more confident and directly expressed his thoughts: "The huge roar of the grenades, coupled with the fact that even formal knights cannot withstand the power of multiple grenades, can directly shock ordinary people." Soldier?
Even if there is a knight who does not believe in evil and resists, if all the ordinary soldiers around him are dead, the earldom can use ordinary soldiers and the official knights of the San Fernando Empire, 'Duizi'. If there are a few more official knights, it is very likely to kill them without any injuries.
The key here is not when to use it. As long as ordinary soldiers can't bear it, as long as they are timid and run away, this trick will work.
To put it bluntly, if they really ignored it and continued to charge, grenades would kill them all. "
After all, apart from the issue of formal knights, this is a group of ancient battlefields with low levels of warfare and still in the cold weapon age.
The earldom has absolute initiative when it occupies a dangerous place.
With the suppressive power of gunpowder weapons on cold weapons, victory will not be difficult.
