Chapter 312: Crossbowman Troops

After receiving the three light infantry brigades that had been replaced by the main army, Verina worked hard to transform the three wings under her command. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

First of all, after the original First Garrison Wing and the Second Garrison Wing received some soldiers, they were scattered and filled into the troops to act as the backbone, so that the strength of these two wings has been greatly improved. In the third wing, that is, the Shawan Port Wing, Verina simply set up a light infantry brigade as it was, with the soldiers of the original garrison battalion, which formed the main force of the Shawan Port Wing. At the same time, this also makes this late wing become the strongest of the three wings of the garrison corps.

Now, don't underestimate the garrison in Verina's hands. The scale of 4,500 men is a net worth that even some medium-sized warlords can barely reach. And the shortcomings of the weak quality of the soldiers in the past, after replenishing a part of the regular army, and with the promotion, most of the small warlords could not fight against Verina's troops. Even if it is like Ma Long, who has disappeared, the strength of the heyday is combined, and if he wants to eat the current garrison army head-on, it will be painful, and it is not impossible for one to be killed if he can't get it right.

And even more terrifying is Dane's main army.

Even the light infantry, which was regarded as the main branch of the army in the hands of most warlords and was already considered a regular army, was eliminated by Dane, and it can be seen how powerful his main army is.

The strength of the main corps has not yet expanded, and it is still on the scale of three thousand people in two wings. However, in terms of overall strength, it has been replaced by shotguns.

Among the first wing, which can play a huge role in the frontal battlefield, the number of White Wolf Guards has been expanded to three brigades, and the group of 900 white wolf heavy infantry can become a mainstay on any battlefield.

When fighting against the Iron Nail Legion, they were able to hold out for a long time in the face of a five-fold siege by an enemy who was not a weak opponent like the Chaos City Infantry. Not to mention, if they encounter an opponent like light infantry, I am afraid that they will not have more than ten times the number, and it is estimated that they will not even be able to suppress the White Wolf Guardian Regiment.

In addition, in addition to three brigades of white wolf guards and one brigade of white wolf cavalry, the first wing was also equipped with a brigade of strong crossbowmen.

The Crossbowman is a ranged shooting class from the Shrine building of the White Wolf Fortress. These human archers wearing leather armor, round steel helmets, and equipped with short swords and crossbows, although they are not like the ranger troops, have very superb marksmanship and keen skills, but in Dane's eyes, among the human armies on the entire continent, there are few ranged troops that are more powerful than these crossbowmen.

The key to this lies in the crossbow in their hands.

These crossbow arrows, if you really want to talk about attack power, may not be as powerful as the longbow used by the elven archers, which is nearly a person high, and the crossbow arrows that shoot out are not comparable to the long arrows that are almost three times the length. However, by shaking the stick on the side of the crossbow, these can be quickly reloaded, and the normal archer can be completely destroyed in terms of firing speed.

There are eight crossbow bolts in a crossbow box, which can be quickly shaken to reload and fire, and if you don't think about aiming, you can shoot all eight crossbow arrows in less than a minute. What's even better is that the crossbow bolt only needs to pull the trigger to shoot, and it takes a lot of effort to complete the shot with a full bowstring to aim like a longbow.

It is also very convenient to change the crossbow case. After the crossbowmen have shot out of a crossbowbox, they simply discard the crossbow box and take out a new one, which can be reloaded in half a minute.

Of course, the most economical way is to reload the used crossbow case with eight arrows. A crossbow case is not cheap to make from an equipment factory, but if it does come across the kind of attacks that require fast and dense long-range fire, it is clear that the crossbowmen can exert even more effect than the elven rangers.

The only fly in the ointment is that if it is a traditional battle formation, if the ranged troops of both sides shoot at each other, the range of the crossbowman is relatively disadvantaged, and the crossbow arrows fired in the form of projectiles are not like long bows and arrows, which can get a special kinetic energy bonus when they fall downward after crossing the arc, and the damage ability will also be reduced.

But in any case, although the crossbowman is not enough to be compared to the top, there is still more than enough to be compared to the bottom. Even if it's not as good as the authentic Elven Ranger troops, it's a very good long-range shooting unit in its own right—it's better than having light infantry armed with short bows as the long-range firepower of the first wing.

In fact, the White Wolf Castle, as a templar base, is itself used for training by the Terran troops. Just as the forest base of Orinedu can train sword dancers and sentinels at the very beginning, Orinedu can also train the corresponding low-level troops - crossbowmen and infantry.

But Dane didn't try to train crossbowmen at first, because he didn't have much money at the time, and crossbowman training also cost money, and with that resource, it was better to throw it on more elite ranger troops.

And the reason why he is now starting to train crossbowmen is because he is on the verge of a big war, and he must expand the combat power of the regular army in his hands as soon as possible. Moreover, when the building level of the [Shooting Range] of White Wolf Fort was raised to level four, the crossbowman became a crossbowman, and the level increased a lot, which also had the value of training.

As for the other initial class, the infantry, the reason why Dane didn't train them was different from the crossbowman. The special class of the White Wolf Castle, the training program of the White Wolf Guard, is in the same building [Barracks] as the infantry training ground. This means that if Dane wants to train the White Wolf Guardian in the barracks, he can't train the infantry, and if he trains the infantry, he can't train the White Wolf Guard, anyway, he can only train one of them at the same time.

Then, whether it is [Infantry] or the upgraded class [Heavy Infantry] that appears in the fourth-level barracks, there is a certain gap with the strength of the White Wolf Guard. So, under the conflict between the two, Dane had a muddy brain before he let the White Wolf Guards not practice and trained ordinary heavy infantry.

The same is true of the cavalry unit of the Templar base - [Light Infantry]. With the White Wolf Cavalry, Dane would not train ordinary light infantry. I didn't see that on the battlefield, the outstanding light infantry of the Red Turban Sand Pirate Cavalry, when facing the impact of the White Wolf Cavalry, it was almost no different from paper paste.
