After reading the test data of the firing range, Lei Zihao already had a bottom in his heart, if he carried out a dense salvo, if the enemy on the opposite side was lightly armored or unarmoured, and the cross-section of the battlefield in a dense formation was wide enough, he would start firing a salvo within 150 meters, and if the opposite side was wearing iron armor, it could only be shot within 50 meters......

As for the projectile, Lei Zihao, who only has a hundred people, has never thought about it at all!

The crossbow must be at least more than a thousand, and it will only cause basic lethality when it is thrown out!

After measuring the effective range of the crossbow, Lei Zihao tested the shooting frequency of the crossbow, and for the elite of Wei Wushu, who can skillfully operate the crossbow, he can only shoot three shots a minute on average!

Lei Zihao estimated that this was already the fastest shooting frequency of the crossbow, after all, Wei Wushu was already an elite soldier with the limit of human fitness!

If the three-stage shooting method is adopted, it can make up for the defect of the shooting frequency of the crossbow, but what is the use of more than 30 crossbows at a time when only 100 people carry out three-stage shooting?

Lei Zihao sighed helplessly, the composition of an army really can't rely on only a small number of elites!

Compared with the crossbow test, Wei Wushu's melee test is very common, Wei Wushu, who wears chain mail and holds a big shield, if he is arrayed, he can completely explode the Spartan trouser man in close combat, if he is single-handed, the Spartan warrior can't take advantage, the reason is very simple, Wei Wushu, who has a big shield and chain mail, relies on strong martial arts, can protect himself in all aspects, and it is difficult for the flexible Spartan warrior to cause damage to it, and vice versa, with too much weight, It is also difficult for Wei Wushu, who is not flexible enough, to catch the flexible Spartan warriors!

However, on the battlefield, Wei Wushu mainly fought in formation, and there was rarely a time for a heads-up melee!

Equipped with an iron sword, it was only used by Wei Wushu for self-defense as a last resort, and when they exerted their strongest combat effectiveness, they still lined up to fight with a halberd shield!

With chain mail and a big shield, Wei Wushu's protection against arrows is very amazing, even if it is an overwhelming rain of arrows, it is difficult to cause casualties to Wei Wushu!

And the Spartan warriors' protection against the rain of arrows is far inferior to that of Wei Wushu!

In such a comparison, Wei Wushu's cost performance is indeed slightly higher than that of Spartan warriors, but Spartan warriors are more focused on melee battles that rely on personal force, while Wei Wushu's strongest place is in the duel in the array and long-range crossbow shooting!

On the battlefield, Wei Wushu's role was undoubtedly much more than that of the Spartan warriors!

After trying Wei Wushu's force value, Lei Zihao was undoubtedly very satisfied, and Long Han Town once again entered a state of full preparation!

Since he didn't know how many gnolls were attacking, Lei Zihao asked Antonio to train some young men from Dragonhan Town and the Seris, and even carefully selected many prisoners who originally belonged to the Pylos army to serve as cannon fodder!

The Pilos captives were relatively obedient, and the only weapon in their hands was a crude cheap spear, or the old weapons that had been left and captured before......

As for the captured Pylos shields, bronze armor and short swords, they were all used to arm the militia!

It's a pity that the texture of the bronze tools used by the Pylos is too fragile, especially the armor, in front of the Thracian long knife, it is basically scrapped in an instant, and only the equipment of the Pylos who surrendered on their knees is still intact.

However, not every soldier in the regular army of Pylos had the money to buy armor and shields, and it was also filled with a large number of Pyros light infantry, and these demoralized Pyros light infantry were also the main force in the surrender of Pylos's army!

Those real Pylos hoplites were killed or wounded by more than eighty percent!

The Pylos hoplites were at the forefront of the engagement, and naturally they were the ones with the most casualties!

The so-called Pylos light infantry, in addition to the tattered spear-throwing, had only a short sword similar to a long dagger on his body......

Not even a shield, let alone armor!

Therefore, Lei Zihao's men and horses really did not have the complete armor and weapon shields......

To sum up, bronze is crunchy in front of iron!

Of course, for Lei Zihao, who has bottomed out in inventory, he can't take out extra money to build weapons, and these scrap iron-like bronzes are wasted and used to become militia equipment......

The main component of the militia phalanx was the pikemen who were equipped with a large number of spear-throwing pikemen, and Lei Zihao doubted that their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the peasant spearmen......

In any case, the militia still has a huge advantage, under the oppression of the half-orc crisis, Lei Zihao fooled a group of young people from Ceris to join the militia, plus the militia provided by Longhan Town, which has harvested 2,000 displaced people, Lei Zihao easily gathered a phalanx composed of more than a thousand militiamen!

In addition to these more than a thousand militiamen, there were also more than two thousand Pylos prisoner of war cannon fodder armed with spears!

In order to encourage the fighting enthusiasm of the prisoners of war, Lei Zihao promised in public that as long as they won this battle, they could get out of slavery and become a glorious Seris militia!

In the future, as long as you are willing to work hard for the great governor Lei Zihao, you can have no worries about food and clothing!

The selected Pylos are all citizens who have served as soldiers and fought in wars, and they are not very resistant to war, compared to the slave status of a small life that cannot be autonomous, serving the current governor of Seris and the future king of Seris, which is obviously very much in line with their wishes, of course, there may be a small deviation here, because Lei Zihao does not like the name of Seris......

It's just that Lei Zihao is now a little far away from the founding of the country, and he hasn't thought about the name of the country that will kill a lot of brain cells......

Even the military flag is lit with the original Bagua flag......

Later, Lei Zihao felt that the gossip flag was not imposing enough, so he made a handsome flag alone, and it was also used as the king flag of Longhan Town in disguise, this flag was more interesting, and Lei Zihao also felt quite satisfied, because the flag was red and a black capital 'thunder'!

It does look like it's shocking......

Lei Zihao's bad taste, I won't talk about it here......

2,000 Pylos prisoners of war cannon fodder with short spears, more than 1,000 militiamen with captured bronzes, plus 100 Qin crossbowmen, 100 Wei warriors, and 120 Spartan general guards, this is all the strength of Lei Zihao to deal with the crisis of the jackals!

Looks pretty good!
