Chapter 99: Marksmen and Cavalry
[Class: Archer.]
Equipment: Leather helmet, paneled leather armor, standard battle skirt, standard bow and arrow, close dagger. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Soldier size: Standard 1,000 troops.
Specialty: Shooting
Combat Effectiveness Assessment: The melee combat capability is only stronger than that of civilians, and the projectile can cause large-area damage to unarmored and lightly armored targets within 100 meters.
Morale: Six stars
Recruitment cost (1,000 gold coins), maintenance cost (food and clothing degree).
Outstanding ability: cluster projectile, dense accumulation shot.
Note: Archers can inflict deadly covering shots against armies that are not heavily armored or equipped with large shields, greatly damaging the morale of the enemy, and can perform rapid fire that consumes a lot of arm strength when necessary, and can deal tons of damage in a short period of time!
However, their armor-piercing ability is not strong, and they must be placed within 30 meters for a direct close shot, so that it is possible to break through the iron armor that is not too thick, however, it is very dangerous for archers to shoot directly at such a close distance, especially in the face of cavalry, even if it is just a round of direct fire at close range, the entire archer army is likely to be overwhelmed by the cavalry troops! 】
"Haha, this is the standard long-range troops of various countries, compared to the effective range of 100 meters, the javelinmen with a range of more than 10 meters are simply weak! This must have! ”
A thousand-strong archer army, this time Lei Zihao finally didn't have to look at the scattered arrows to play!
Considering that most of the enemies you are facing today are not equipped with iron armor, the archers' projectiles can definitely achieve impressive results!
Thousands of arrows can definitely form a real arrow rain!
[Class: Cross Archer.]
Equipment: Leather helmet, paneled leather armor, standard battle skirt, standard cross bow set (for short-arrow hard bow arm close-range armor piercing), melee dagger.
Soldier size: Standard 1,000 troops.
Specialty: Shooting
Combat effectiveness assessment: The melee combat ability is only stronger than that of civilians, and the power of direct fire at close range is huge, and it can break armor, and the operation is simple and labor-saving.
Morale: Six stars
Recruitment cost (1,000 gold coins), maintenance cost (food and clothing degree).
Outstanding ability: Armor piercing at close range, dense accumulation of shots.
Note: The main reason why the crossbow opened by man cannot be projected like a bow and arrow is that the crossbow and the bow are different in style, the crossbow arrow only has two tail feathers, and the bow arrow has three tail feathers, so the stability of flying in the air is not as good as that of the bow arrow, and the accuracy of long-distance projectile is poor, and it is easy to cause rotational imbalance. And because the length of the crossbow machine of the manpower crossbow is limited, the crossbow is not as long as the bow and arrow, and the weight is similar, resulting in the crossbow arrow must be made thicker, and the resistance in the air is also greater, and the kinetic energy loss is more than that of the bow arrow when used for projectile, so the ancient crossbow is rarely used for projectile.
The reason why modern crossbows can be thrown is because the mechanical properties of modern crossbow arrows are better, resulting in the initial velocity of arrows is much higher than in ancient times, so the loss of part of the kinetic energy can still cause greater damage, but accuracy has always been a problem.
It is recommended that His Excellency the Doge pay attention to the armor-piercing ability of the Crossbow, and not take it for granted that it can be projectile suppressed!
Crossbow arrows cannot be effectively thrown, the range is much lower than that of the archer, and the rate of fire is lower than that of the archer, the crossbow is a hand crossbow, and in small-scale siege battles, this weapon is practical! 】
Through the introduction of the system, it is not difficult to see that the cross archers are similar to the crossbowmen of the Qin State, and the defects of the crossbowmen of the Qin State Lei Zihao have seen a lot, and it is naturally a sharp weapon in the face of a brainless enemy, but in the face of a truly commanded army, that is, a wave of energy, you can only fight in close combat or soy sauce all the way to the end if you shoot two or three rounds......
At the very least, the archer can also shoot the enemy's follow-up force behind the friendly army in the front melee to meet the enemy, and shoot the enemy's follow-up force in the rear of the friendly army......
If you can't meet a large number of armies equipped with iron armor, the cost performance of the crossbow is still a little low for the time being!
After thinking for a moment, Lei Zihao took his eyes off the class in the shooting range and aimed at the only third-level class in the Shifang stable!
[Class: Submachine Lancers.]
Equipment: Iron knight's helmet, chain mail, standard battle skirt, cavalry spear, oval skin wooden shield, single-edged saber.
Soldier size: Standard 1,000 troops.
Specialty: Cavalry charge
Combat effectiveness assessment: This is the most basic lancer unit, which is much stronger than the light cavalry in terms of charging ability, but it is relatively weak in the face of a tight infantry spear phalanx!
Morale: Seven stars
Recruitment cost (2000 gold coins), maintenance cost (food, clothing, and horse raising cost).
Outstanding ability: strong impact force.
Notes: Decent cavalry troops, their armor is not heavy, and it is not at all compatible with heavy cavalry, and the light chain mail is only somewhat effective in guarding against arrows, so don't use them to hedge against real heavy armored cavalry, otherwise you will die a miserable death!
The most suitable place for this unit is to widen the enemy's gaps, completely tear apart the weaknesses of the enemy's military formation, and of course, as a cavalry unit that is not too heavy, they can pursue and kill the fleeing enemy infantry on a large scale, and maximize the results of the battle!
At the same time, they can also act as temporary scout cavalry, heralds and other rapid mobile units, they are an indispensable part of a complete army! Especially on a battlefield that is not too steep! 】
The recruitment cost is more than twice as much as the previous class, and the maintenance cost also adds the maintenance of the horses, and the cavalry is really a cost-consuming class, even with the blessing of the system, there is no need to pay additional cavalry salaries, and the wealth paid is far more than that of the infantry!
However, this combat effectiveness assessment of the third-level class replaces the highest combat effectiveness display of the star, which is more vivid.
Lei Zihao had already discovered that the highest combat power star was of little use at all!
Since there is the highest, there is naturally a low tide, to put it bluntly, on the battlefield, in addition to the elite of the Spartan warriors and the Wei Wushu, how many people can exert the highest combat effectiveness?
The highest combat effectiveness star is just a façade, and after the real fight, I am afraid that the highest combat effectiveness of the 6-star class will not even be able to exert half of its strength!
The battlefield is filled with mud and sand, the smell of blood is pungent, death and hell are intertwined around the soldiers, how strong is it to have a strong psychological quality to give full play to their strength in a stable manner?
When engaged, in the face of the bloody scene, the hands of the soldiers holding weapons did not tremble, and they were already mature veterans!
Perhaps, the all-out war system also saw the gap between the highest combat effectiveness and the actual combat effectiveness, so it changed the panel and turned it into a combat effectiveness assessment.
More than 5,000 gold coins, and some war altars to upgrade the third level should be set aside, so ......
"A thousand-man shield spear heavy infantry, a thousand-man archer, a thousand-man charge cavalry!"
Lei Zihao calmly ordered the all-out war system!
