Anyway, pikemen are not difficult to recruit, as long as the limbs are sound, you can become a pikemen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The state of Chu now has a population of three or four hundred million, and there is no need to worry about the problem of pikemen.

The same idea exists in other countries and forces.

However, Lin Ze is different, he will not treat pikemen as cannon fodder.

Yes, the training of pikemen seems to be very simple, recruit people, and then issue spears, and you can form pikemen.

However, many people ignore or do not see a very important term: veteran!

Veterans are the guarantee of a truly strong army, and only with countless veterans who have experienced wars can this army be invincible and invincible.

In the army, if the number of veterans is too small, or there are no veterans at all, then the combat effectiveness of this army is definitely very worrying.

If such an army goes out to fight, it will fail above the ninth floor.

Just like in World War II, before 42, almost all the soldiers of the Japanese country were veterans, and their combat effectiveness was so strong that even the army of the United States had only one way to defeat.

At that time in Huaxia, it was not an opponent, and there was even such a thing as an army being defeated by a wing of the Japanese State, and such a thing was not uncommon.

There is a reason why the equipment of the Japanese army is far better than that of the Chinese army, but there are a large number of veterans in the Japanese army, and most of the Chinese army are strong men who have just been pulled, and this reason cannot be ignored.

As a modern person, Lin Ze understands this very well, so he takes the life safety of his soldiers very seriously, and does not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to equip his soldiers with the best equipment, in order to increase the survival rate of his soldiers on the battlefield.

The more soldiers under your command survive on the battlefield, the more veterans in your own troops, and correspondingly, the stronger your combat effectiveness, and the greater the chance of victory when you fight!

As you can see from here, it's definitely a premium cycle.

Chu State, there are other forces that don't value veterans like this, they are essentially wrong, I believe that because of this, among the more than three million troops of Chu State, only the White Elephant Legion and the Xuanwu Legion really have combat effectiveness, and the other legions are just superficial!

"Puff puff puff .......!" After the same dozen spear attacks, the five Black Wind Thief soldiers who had climbed the city tower before were all wiped out by the five pikemen of the fifth group and the second squad.

Seeing that all the Black Wind Thieves had been wiped out by the five of them, and that they had not been seriously injured, a smile appeared on the faces of the five pikemen.

"Yes, well done!" Zhou Ming, a hundred households in the distance, praised loudly.

As a hundred households, he couldn't have imagined that the combat effectiveness of a squad under his command would be so strong, and in the face of five powerful Black Wind Thieves, he could actually annihilate them with zero casualties, which surprised Zhou Ming.

At the same time, the tension in Zhou Ming's heart also dissipated.

The pikemen of the fifth squad and the second squad can all annihilate the five Black Wind Thief soldiers with zero casualties, can't he Zhou Ming do it?!

"Brothers, let's kill!" Zhou Ming shouted, leading his soldiers to kill the Black Wind Thieves who kept coming up to the city.

"Kill!" The soldiers followed Zhou Ming and killed.

In an instant, the walls of the city were filled with shouts of murder and the endless smell of blood........

...........................................

Just when Zhou Ming led his subordinates to continuously kill the Black Wind Thief soldiers who boarded the city, from the top of a dozen or so cloud ladders on the other side, seventeen or eight Black Wind Thief soldiers jumped down, this is not played, from the section of the city wall where the first horse on the left side of the city wall passed, there were also more than ten or twenty Black Wind Thief soldiers, jumping from the cloud ladder.

Here, the first and third teams of the second squad are responsible for the defense.

At this time, a total of more than thirty Black Wind Thief soldiers had jumped from the city wall, and there was a steady stream of Black Wind Thief soldiers climbing down the ladder behind them.

These Black Wind Thieves were all heavy infantry wearing two layers of heavy armor, except for some of them who were armed with round shields and broadswords, most of them did not hold shields, and each of them was carrying heavy iron machetes, or heavy long-handled glaive knives, or spears and some halberds, etc., and now they were constantly jumping down from the city.

However, these Black Wind Thief Heavy Infantry who jumped down from the mouth of the ladder, the few people in front of them, without exception, did not see the rejection horse hidden on the edge of the city wall, so they jumped directly on the rejection horse, and the six Black Wind Thief Heavy Infantry who were the first of the 'Puff ......' were directly inherited by the 'Sugar Gourd', and the blood on their bodies continued to flow out like tap water, and their mouths kept screaming.

Seeing the miserable appearance of these heavy infantry, the heavy infantry behind suddenly did not dare to jump down again, and carefully chose a foothold on the city wall.

The large number of repulsors, the sharp spikes around them, and the heavy armor they wore made it very inconvenient for these Black Wind Thieves to move.

At the same time, it also gave Xu Sheng an excellent advantage for these defenders.

Seeing that the heavy infantry of the Black Wind Thieves were all blocked by the horses, Xu Sheng shouted without hesitation: "First and second brigade archers, shoot!"

The archers of the two brigades had already taken aim at the rejection of the horses at the mouth of these ladders, so as soon as they heard the order, they ruthlessly released their bowstrings to the thirty or forty Black Wind Thief heavy infantry who fell at the rejection of the horses at a distance of four or five meters.

"Woo Woo Woo .......!" In an instant, the sound of arrows was loud, and the thirty or forty Black Wind Thief heavy infantry in front of the horse were heavily armoured, and it was already difficult to move, and now it was extremely difficult to get trapped in the horse rejection, so in the face of the shooting of these archers, they had no power to resist, and could only keep roaring and being beaten to death on the city wall.

Some of the Black Wind Thieves who saw the opportunity early jumped directly under the city wall regardless of it

"Ah.......h

"Bang .......!" Soon, everything fell silent.

Jumping under the city wall can indeed avoid the attack of the archers, but these Black Wind Thief heavy infantry obviously forgot that the height of the wall of Black Sand City is about forty or fifty meters, and they are wearing extremely heavy two layers of heavy armor, so the consequences of them jumping off the city wall can be imagined.

There were also some Black Wind Thieves heavy infantry who kept waving their shields with their hands before they died, covering their heads tightly, and at the same time, hoping that the two layers of armor on their bodies could protect them, but in the end they were all disappointed.

The arrows that Lin Ze rationed to the archers were all heavy arrows, and now the archers were only four or five meters away from these heavy infantry, and at such a close distance, the power of heavy arrows was exerted to the extreme, no matter how thick their shields, or how thick the armor on their bodies was, without exception, they were all shot through countless middles, and finally, they watched themselves being beaten into hedgehogs.

"Woohoo .......!"

"Puff puff .......!"

"Ahhh.......h

For a while, the five meters around the perimeter of these horses were covered with the corpses of the Black Wind Thief Heavy Infantry full of blood holes and arrows, blood flowed everywhere, and even some colorful things were faintly visible, and the scene looked extremely bloody.

In the middle, there were some Black Wind Thief heavy infantry who couldn't die for a while, still screaming loudly.

The follow-up Black Wind Thief Heavy Infantry also saw this scene, at this time, it was impossible for them to retreat, but there were people behind them who were always retreating from them, so these Black Wind Thief Heavy Infantry were helpless, risking the risk of falling into the city, pressing their teeth and jumping down from the battlement wall, and some of them directly stepped on the corpse of the Black Wind Thief Heavy Infantry on the horse, and rushed directly to the second squad.

These Black Wind Thief Heavy Infantry, who held a round shield broadsword in one hand and a heavy machete in the other, shouted in unison when they approached the second squad: "Kill!"

One of the general flags of the second squad did not panic, and gave orders with a calm face.

"Pikemen, thorns!"

At the sound of an order, the fifteen pikemen of the second squad instantly stepped forward in unison, and then, with their strength in hand, held the steel spears in both hands, and stabbed forward.

"Poof.......!" In the blink of an eye, the four fastest Black Wind Thief heavy infantry were stabbed into bloody holes, and they fell down in disbelief.

"Draw your gun! Stand back!" the general flag's order was punctual.

"Poof.......!" fifteen pikemen drew their guns in unison, then retreated.

Although there were seven or eight pikemen in the middle with a hint of pale faces, and two pikemen churned in their mouths, as if they were about to spit out, but, in the end, these pikemen were not defeated by the blood on the city walls, and they still stood in the battle formation with such determination and strength, and attacked at any time according to the orders of their general banner.

"Second group, thorn!" the voice of the general flag sounded again, followed by fifteen pikemen stabbing forward in unison.

"Ping-pong....... Clang...... ....... poof!"

This time, those Black Wind Thief Heavy Infantry had prepared in advance, so they blocked a few times, but that's it.

There are only three Black Wind Thieves heavy infantry in front of the pikemen, which means that each of them has to face five spears, plus there are obstacles around them, what kind of fate these Black Wind Thieves will have, it is conceivable.
