Lin Haoda, who was sitting in the marching tent, flashed his eyes and dismissed the other people who were discussing the matter around him.
First of all, Lin Haoda opened the introduction panel of the newly added troops-Lancers, and only when he fully understood the basic attributes of the newly added troops, Lin Haoda could decide in the next exchange.
Although the morale of the classes opened by the higher prestige level is generally very high, it does not mean that they are generally very useful, just take the comparison between the cuirassiers and the Young Guards, through this actual battle, Lin Haoda obviously felt that the cost performance of the Young Guards was much higher than that of the cuirassiers!
The real role of the cuirassiers is only in the section where they break into the battlefield and disrupt the enemy formation, and after that, they basically rely on the desperate counter-push of the Young Guards to break the tenacious will of the Maasai Revolutionary Army, of course, this is not to say that the cuirassiers have no effect, but compared to the expensive price of the cuirassiers, the cheaper Young Guards can completely make up for it with numbers.
Therefore, after the war, Lin Haoda basically set a personality for the cuirassiers, a type of battlefield assault soldier, which must be there but not too much!
[Class: Lancers.]
Size: 60 players per team/500 historical smash points
Introduction: The biggest advantage is the ability to fight infantry phalanxes to a certain extent. The spears used by the lancers were 2.7 meters long, longer than any rifle with a bayonet, so they could attack the infantry in the phalanx first without being hit by a bullet. The disadvantages are: the lancers are not suitable for reconnaissance and alert tasks on complex terrain such as woods, and have lost some of the functions that light cavalry should have. Moreover, the lancers needed more training. Due to the clumsiness of the spear in close combat with the opposing cavalry, the lancers had to switch to swords, so in addition to mastering the use of spears, the lancers also had to be proficient in the use of sabers. There are memoirs that the lancers had to go through 55 different training programs, 22 against cavalry, 18 against infantry, and 15 basic training!
Weapons: Special riding rifles, sabers.
Costumes: square hat with feathers, blue and white military uniform, riding boots.
Strengths: Good at breaking through enemy infantry lines.
Description: They can quickly tear a hole in the enemy infantry defense line with a dense cavalry charge, and the long cavalry spears can give them a certain advantage in the face of the enemy infantry bayonet phalanx, which is one of the few cavalry units that can barely confront the infantry hollow phalanx head-on, of course, their own losses will not be small! Every lancer is the elite of the elite, proficient in horse combat, compared to their strong impact, hand-to-hand combat may be weaker, but it is still much stronger than ordinary musketeers, because their combat mission is mostly to charge the enemy frontally, the battle loss ratio is often very high, if you have the money to support their high recruitment costs, you can squander the lancer's charging ability! 】
"The lancers seem to have a higher breakthrough ability for infantry than cuirassiers, but the armor on their bodies is not as thick as the cuirassiers, and the battle damage ratio will be much higher than that of the cuirassiers when charging into battle, for me who are now getting bigger and bigger, and need more and more troops to control the occupied area, it doesn't seem to be too practical, let's put it for the time being, as long as there are enough young guards, I can completely use crowd tactics to make up for my own shortcomings!"
Obviously, Lin Haoda was very fond of the Young Guard, a soldier who would become a die-hard state when he stayed by his side, and after discovering the attributes and costs of the lancers, he decisively swept them into the same treatment as the cuirassiers - put it down temporarily.
"In the era of queuing to shoot, the cavalry has declined, the most important thing is to look at the quantity and quality of the infantry, all the cavalry of the 100,000 Marseille Revolutionary Army combined, are less than 5,000, but they can win many battles, and defeat the army composed of reactionary nobles and exiles filled with a large number of noble cavalry, it has proved everything, I am now not short of artillery and cavalry, and the next step is to comprehensively expand this useful young guard."
Lin Haoda thought for a moment and made up his mind about the next recruitment direction.
He did it as soon as he thought of it, and directly opened the troop recruitment mall, and with a wave of his hand, all the 160,000 historical smashing points became the Young Guards!
The 10,000 historical smash points are 5,000 people, and the 160,000 historical smash points recruit 80,000 young guards.
After this bloody battle, the army under Lin Haoda once again ushered in a huge increase in quantity, this time it was no longer the morale of the line infantry, but the loyal young guards in Lin Haoda's personal state!
Coupled with the remaining 30,000 young guards after the war, Lin Haoda had a full 110,000 die-hard and well-equipped young guards at this time!
This is an army of 110,000 that is comparable to elite veterans among the European continental powers, and this force is enough to become a force at the level of slaughtering cities and destroying the country in any region, not to mention that the 110,000 young guards are also equipped with 100 12-pounder infantry field guns, as well as more than 1,000 hussars and more than 4,000 cuirassiers for charging into battle.
The army is strong and the troops are complete, which is now the military strength under Lin Haoda's command, I don't know what the Marseille city government will think when it learns that Lin Haoda's troops have doubled after being consumed by the main force of the Marseille Revolutionary Army?
With so many troops, Lin Haoda let go of Strasbourg in high spirits and directly led the main force to the Marseille region!
