Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Centaur

Boom boom boom, the earth is shaking, like a giant dragon in the ground suddenly being awakened, the distance of the snow field, suddenly set off a layer of ice mist, noisy dust, flying in the air, forming a huge wave several meters high and wide for several miles rolling forward, unstoppable.

The rumbling rush of this huge wave, familiar with the sight, rushed straight out of several kilometers away, almost overturned dozens of kilometers of land, came to the front, a layer of snow and fog on the surface gradually disappeared, only to let people see the true face of this, but it turned out that this layer of huge waves was none other than a group of centaurs in the base mountain charging.

The huge iron hooves of the centaurs lifted the original snow on the snowfield when they charged at high speed, flying all over the sky, and it was too late to fall, and as the team advanced, it became a terrifying scene of the jade dragon snow dance when people watched from afar, stirring up the cold of Zhou Tian.

This, naturally, Zhang Quan's soldiers and horses were training in the exercise.

I saw that these centaurs were all wearing hundreds of pounds of vests, wearing iron helmets and masks on their heads, not showing anything at all, holding heavy iron guns more than three meters long in their hands, lined up in a dense formation when charging, almost next to each other to charge, when the speed reached a high peak, they shouted loudly, waved and sprinted between shouts, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, he

After a dash, the centaurs quickly changed formation, rushed out, first jogged in small steps, then slowly accelerated, increased to high speed, reached the peak of speed, turned sharply, and then when the origin of the turn returned, the crossbow in their hands was shot at the opposite side, jumping a few sharp sounds, and the crossbow arrows were shot at a row of targets one hundred and fifty meters away from the opposite side.

After shooting, the centaurs immediately turned back, without looking back, and rushed back to their original starting point.

Hundreds of centaurs rushed out like this, and after shooting, they ran back to the same place to complete the training.

Riding a wildebeest, under the protection of a group of orcs, Zhang Quan rushed to the target, and looked at the target at the end, and immediately rejoiced, these centaurs are really good at shooting, holding this modern version of the powerful crossbow with a precise structure, every arrow is on target one hundred and fifty meters away, none of the arrows are off target, there are individual, and even at this distance is still able to shoot ten rings, archery is terrifying.

This kind of training, called mounted archery on Earth, is no different from shooting a fixed target for centaurs, and these eight hundred centaur warriors selected by the tribe have all achieved this result after several months of training.

What a surprise!

Zhang Quan ran back and nodded to the eight hundred centaurs under his command who were already lined up for review, very satisfied with his men. Even he didn't expect that he just wanted to strengthen the power in his hands, and with a little brain, he took out the centaurs under his command who were not originally a regular army and a strong battle race to train, and he had such a good result.

Well, it seems that these orcs, armed with their own military ideas and industrial power from the earth, still have great potential to tap.

Some time ago, Zhang Quan watched the various management work in the tribe gradually run in well, building cities, mining, and everything was on the right track, so he had the heart to start the next step in the plan to transform all aspects of the tribe.

According to the tradition of the orcs, war, that is the business of the nobles, and the combat power of the low-level orcs is only worthy of being the auxiliaries of the strong fighting race, pressing the grain and grass, and transporting the baggage and logistics. Except for a few isolated cases such as extermination and massacre, generally vassal races like the Doug sheep-headed people will not intervene in the war between their masters, and generally the war between the two races, whoever wins, the vassal race will be silently redistributed and belong to the new master.

War is a war for wealth, but it is also a war for the population, so the war on the wasteland, the strong are getting stronger and stronger, and the weak are losing and getting weaker, until finally the whole tribe is swallowed up and loses the qualification to survive in the wasteland, this is the simple form of war in which the orcs feed the war by war.

Although the centaurs are not pure producers, they definitely do not belong to the warlike race, although the centaurs are good at running, they are not strong enough, and they do not produce warriors, and their status in the wasteland is even inferior to that of Pigs, and there is not even a centaur tribe in the wasteland that can be independent.

But in Zhang Quan's opinion, in this situation, since Zhang Quan had the intention to make changes to the orcs, the first target of this attack is, well! It is these centaurs, who now make up almost a quarter of the population of their tribe.

After a period of careful observation, in fact, centaurs are definitely not in Zhang Quan's mind should not be in the role of producers in the current orc society, they are industrious, orderly, physically strong, strong-willed, full of resilience, and have great potential, with seemingly endless potential to tap.

The strength is not strong enough, the physique is not strong enough, it doesn't matter, we have a strong industrial backing from modern times, and we can tailor the most suitable weapons for the orcs, although Zhang Quan's mechanical processing ability is not enough to create a formed firearms industry, but it is enough to create armor and knives and guns of the peak quality of the cold weapon era for them.

The centaurs are good at running, and this is an excellent advantage, and the ultra-high mobility formed by their terrifying foot power in war is itself an extremely terrifying strategic weapon.

Moreover, when he fought with the Pygs last time, Zhang Quan also keenly discovered another advantage of centaurs, that is, they have quick eyes and hands, and they are especially good at shooting, which is another terrible talent in cold weapon warfare.

Zhang Quan believes that if the centaurs under his command can be equipped with sniper rifles from the earth, they will become unimaginable snipers for earthlings in the blink of an eye, but even if there are no muskets yet, equipping them with strong crossbows from modern times will have terrifying power.

Bows and arrows were not valued in the history of orc wasteland warfare in the past, and that was because the orcs generally had thick skin and strong vitality, and no matter what kind of long-range attack they had, it was like tickling them. For a tank class like the Minotaur, even if a modern version of the standard firearm hits this group of rough people, the damage caused is probably very limited, as long as it is not a vital hit, it is difficult to kill it.

But this situation is only temporary, and Zhang Quan from Earth has a thousand ways to change this situation.

Zhang Quan is trying to find a way to imitate the super enhanced version of the strong crossbow and hunting bow in the modern machine processing factory, which is enough to shine in the orc world, which is specially equipped for the centaurs, a race with poor hand-to-hand combat, enough to close the gap between them and those strong fighting races.

And in the future, once a specially enhanced version of the musket appears, these good shooting centaurs can be transformed into musketeers with powerful mobility in the blink of an eye. At that time, it was time for these orcs under Zhang Quan's command to come.

As for the character that is naturally weak and not strong enough? Zhang Quan felt that his tribe could formulate a reasonable merit system to encourage the orcs to fight bravely in battle.

Anyone who has studied a little history and psychology knows that in fact there is no difference between strong and weak races, only the good and bad of society and system, and no race is born with good or bad qualities.

And even if the centaurs are not brave enough in battle, it is not a bad thing for Zhang Quan, Zhang Quan also understands some modern military theories, modern military theories on the earth believe that organization and execution are the core of the combat effectiveness of military organizations, and for a member of a modern military organization, rather than hoping that they are brave, it is far better to expect them to be disciplined. Iron discipline is the soul of modern military armament thinking.

Therefore, contrary to the traditional military thinking prevalent in the Orc Wasteland, he is not optimistic about those naturally strong races, such as Ryan and Tiger, but the traditional subordinate races in a vassal position who are accustomed to obedience and cooperation, are natural warriors in his eyes.

So, he began the transformation of his subordinates.

The Centaur was just his first target for a transformation.
