In the days of war readiness training, Yang Tian led the soldiers of the Ying clan to train not only simple archery, but also the thinking and summary and even familiarity in group archery after this bloody battle.

In skirmishes, the effective distance of the projection is closer, and the hit is more difficult.

Yang Tian once roughly estimated that even if the soldiers were very proficient in group archery, the enemy could launch eight rounds of covering projection in groups of eleven, five, five, and trio at four distances of more than 50 meters, 40 meters, 30 meters, and 20 meters. The overall hit rate in the confrontation drill was only 40 percent for each group, and the nearly 100 arrows fired were considered good to allow six people to be hit by arrows considering the protective effect of the shield. Even if the last round of one-on-one archery is included, the top of the sky is to let fourteen people hit the arrow.

At this time, under the training level of the team, in order to effectively hit, they had to use some stone cluster light arrows that were not very lethal, even if the opponent was only a dozen people, everyone was hit by arrows in the leg position that was relatively easy to hit, I am afraid that they still could not avoid hand-to-hand combat.

If you plan to retreat at this time, it will undoubtedly put the whole team in danger. And if hand-to-hand combat is launched, once the opponent has far more than a dozen troops fighting against him, and they are all very good at fighting and daring, it will put the entire team in danger.

According to the comparison of the combat effectiveness shown in the last encounter, Yang Tian estimated through estimation and practice that in the case of a fair field battle between the two sides, even if the fighters' combat skills were a little more skilled, it was already the limit to defeat more than 30 complete and strong enemies with eleven warriors in a head-to-head duel. This is largely due to the equipment and tactical advantages that are still present in melee combat... And to do this, it is obvious that these people under their command will continue to attrition...

Unless: every warrior of the Infant Clan has learned the bow and arrow rate of Russ Anderson, and can shoot an arrow per second or less than a second on average, and the speed of the fast attack is even faster than the melee attack. However, it is clear that the kind of archery that only the ancient Indian chieftains can have is absolutely impossible to do in a month or two.

"Under the current level of training, it is simply impossible for only a dozen or so warriors of the Ying clan to fight against those strong opponents who dare to fight. . . ." In the deduction and battle, Yang Tian also had to admit honestly.

It's just that the fighting spirit of the warriors of the infant clan is still undiminished: "Divine Master! We are not afraid of sacrifice, as long as there is one person on this island, there is hope for the Lord ... ”

At this time, the grandmother of the Shu clan solemnly said to Yang Tian: "This battle should not be just a matter of the infant clan, let's go too!" ”

Yang Tian recalled the previous battle on the beach, and couldn't help but shake his head a little. The opponent's stone attack of only about 30 people can easily defeat hundreds of people on the island... But if there are really some people who can play a certain role under the premise of being supervised and wearing armor, maybe it's not impossible?

In this way, Yang Tian had to consider mobilizing more forces on the island at this time, but when he gathered the tribesmen on the island together, he said solemnly: "This time to prepare for the war, you must honestly and voluntarily sign up, if you don't dare to stand and fear death, don't join the war team." The clan team doesn't need too much for the time being, forty people are enough, and twenty or thirty people are fine. But there is one thing: unless it is a healthy woman who is particularly outstanding in stone throwing or combat skills, it is still as male as possible... ”

In this way, Yang Tian also selected thirty-three soldiers from the remaining tribesmen through voluntary selection, divided into three teams. It was also at this time that the initial synergistic tactics took shape.

When the Infant warriors fought alone, the biggest problem was undoubtedly that they did not suppress the forces that interfered with each other. If you have enough slingers to be able to interfere and suppress the opponent, even if the level and hit rate are not very strong, it can play a role in curbing the opponent's charging speed and projectile attack, and temporarily delay the opponent during melee hand-to-hand combat, so as to gain more space for yourself to project at close range.

In this way, when the number of people he could use was significantly more, at least forty or so, the simplest formation contract combat mode was also initially formed in Yang Tian's thinking.

First of all, the warriors who fought with the Infant Shooter were armed with wooden armor and spears instead of shields, and used the relatively easy light throwing stones to attack their opponents when there was no melee combat. The maximum projectile range of about fifty or sixty meters is enough, which does not require much training.

When the slingers continued to suppress their opponents by throwing them, the skirmishers divided into two groups and launched group shooting techniques from both flanks, and if they had the opportunity, they would approach a distance of about thirty or forty meters from the opponent and attack.

When the enemy group attacked, the home team continued to project, while the forward skirmishers continued to retreat, and finally retreated behind a 20-meter single row of 30 wooden spearmen, relying on them to carry out projection assistance.

If the projection is carried out with the cooperation of the fighters in the front row, although the attack will not be able to complete a few more rounds of projection according to the worst-case scenario, this kind of projection efficiency at very close range is undoubtedly extremely high. What's more: the wooden shield javelin weapon used by the opponent is not suitable for hand-to-hand combat with short spearmen.

"In this way, as long as you can launch two more rounds of projection before the people in the front row are defeated, and hit at least thirty or forty people, plus the results of the fighters in the front row, it is not that the opponent is weakened to the point that it can barely deal with it. This is true for at least two-thirds of the enemy's hundreds of men ... ”

However, this idea that had just been formed was quickly rejected by Yang Tian. Obviously, the premise of this is that not only is the coordination within the team quite skillful, but also that the thirty warriors of the other clans selected must be at least as brave as the infant clan, and have the consciousness of sacrificing for the sake of the whole group.

But can these people really do that? Thinking back to some things in the past, Yang Tian was unsure: if he really faced more than fifty fierce enemies like last time, it seemed that his only way was to choose a mountain and high ground to defend...

When he thought of this, Yang Tian's heart also calmed down. If you are faced with a strong enemy who is not sure to deal with in the field, the best choice is of course not to take a field adventure, but to honestly plan the overall defense of the tribe, delay for a month or two, and improve the combat skills of the entire team.

Of course, the premise is to prepare for at least a period of food in this era when agriculture has not yet matured. If none of this is possible, it is impossible for the entire tribe to hold on to it.
