Chapter 550 [Cannon Fodder Troops]
The edge of the Meliane Forest, on weekdays, there are not many people here, for the elves, it is still the interior of the Meliane Forest that can bring them a sense of security, so the edge area is generally some patrol troops will patrol, and some caravans and adventurers will come and go, but today, this area is very lively, not only concentrated a large number of troops, but also can see a lot of big people among them.
For example, several elders, such as the elven prince Ivillios, for example, a lot of alchemists, such as some high-level officials of the Praetorian Guard and the Unicorn Knights, such as He Ping, usually these people are quite busy, and there are no big things that will not be gathered together, but today, they are all concentrated at the edge of the forest, and it can be seen from their positions that they are not the protagonists today.
These big men are standing on the edge of a group of people, it is obvious that they are just here to inspect, and in the middle of this group of people, there is a strange elven army, if the elves of other elven races see this army, they will be very puzzled, do not understand how this elven army fights, but for the Noldor elves, there is nothing strange, they have seen the training process of this army, and the rest is only the test of actual combat.
A thousand elven warriors, shotguns, assault rifles, general-purpose machine guns, and sniper rifles, after such a long time of training, these elven warriors have already figured out the structure and principle of these firearms. The ingredients and properties of the medicine are not yet fully understood. The craftsmanship of guns and bullets is also amazing, after all, this is a completely different route from the civilization of the elven world, but another civilization of the same level, but in terms of disassembly, assembly, use and maintenance. There is nothing wrong with the elves anymore, enough to compare with the regular army of the Overworld.
At this time, the squad machine gunners and light machine gunners with general-purpose machine guns have already set up machine gun positions, and the snipers with sniper rifles are simpler, they go directly to the tree, these snipers are originally selected from the archers, in the process of training. Their original habits were difficult to erase completely, and He Ping took advantage of them to train them in addition to shooting from trees.
Among several types of firearms. Sniper rifles can be arguably the most difficult, with a high rate of fire for general-purpose rifles and assault rifles, and they do not require ultra-long-range shooting, relying on the rate of fire and the amount of bullets. Even if the hit rate is low. You can also rely on a large number of bullets to make up for it, not to mention the advantages and disadvantages of shotguns, although He Ping equips the elves with assault shotguns, the rate of fire is much higher than that of ordinary shotguns, but of course it is incomparable with assault rifles, and the range is pitiful, but shotguns do not need to be fired from a distance, and the killing area of the shotgun is used. Dealing with the enemy in front of you will basically not be empty.
Only sniper rifles, with a long range. But the sniper rifle is needed to attack the enemy from a long distance, so if you want to hit, you must have sufficient training, and the rate of fire of the sniper rifle is slow, especially He Ping equipped the elves with a semi-automatic sniper rifle, the rate of fire is slow, and the bullet is less, so you can only rely on the hit rate to improve the killing efficiency, and obviously, everything else depends on the gun itself to provide, only the hit rate, to a large extent, the shooter himself needs to grasp.
A .50 caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle like this, when in the main world, snipers will not hold this sniper rifle in their arms to shoot, not to mention fixed in one place, at least they should add a bipod to support it on the cover or the ground to shoot, and the elves are good, not only do they not have any support, but they are also standing on a tree, if this is seen by the snipers in the main world, the cliff is the rhythm of crying and fainting in the bathroom.
Don't look at most of the elves are girls, and they are all slender, and they look weak, but unlike the main world, which completely relies on external forces, the civilization of the elf world is mainly to improve itself, and the physical fitness of the elves is absolutely higher than that of humans, and the elves can also use magic to bless themselves, for the anti-materiel sniper rifles that the men in the main world can not fully control, the elf girls can easily hold in their arms and stand on the tree for accurate shooting.
The range of the sniper rifle is originally very long, coupled with the advantage of standing on a tree, so that He Ping's sniper rifle equipped with elves has a killing distance of more than two thousand meters, if it is against general targets, it is possible to retain a certain speed on three thousand meters, but this obviously does not work in the elven world, because the target of the snipers is of course not a fragile goblin, even the half-orc warriors are not enough, their goal is the war lord, but for the war lord, the bullet with too low speed is completely ineffective, So you can't shoot at the limit of range.
He Ping was also on the tree, but what he was holding in his hand was not a sniper rifle, but a telescope, because of what happened before, the elves also increased their vigilance, so the information of the half-orc attack was transmitted to the Meliane Forest early, He Ping also had time to pull out this elf army of 1,000 people and then arrange it in advance, and he himself was able to find a suitable position in advance, and then conduct on-site command, after all, it was the first battle, and the commander of this unit could not accurately grasp the fighter, Although He Ping is also a half-ass, he is a pseudo-military fan, and it is not a big problem to issue orders according to the battle situation.
In He Ping's field of vision, the half-orc army has appeared, with a total number of more than two thousand, of course, half of them are goblins, He Ping did not see the shadow of the shaman, but this is also of course, because most of these warriors were absorbed by the Blood Axe Tribe from the Demon God Sect and finally the tribe of the Demon God Cult, and the shaman wizards of the Demon God Sect have all been wiped out, and the Blood Axe Tribe's own shaman wizards will certainly not fight.
In addition to a thousand goblins and the previous half-orc warriors, He Ping also saw a three-headed troll, this number is also normal, there is nothing to say, but these three-headed trolls seem to be underfed, a little malnourished, it seems that they are not very good in the blood axe tribe, and He Ping is most concerned about, of course, is the war lord, He Ping looked around, but found as many as five war lords, although it is not as good as the previous multi-tribal coalition, but for a cannon fodder army, it is already a lot.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the war lord is still very strong, generally speaking, among the troops recruited from other tribes, even if the warriors and goblins can be consumed, the war lord will still be retained, but the blood axe tribe has a lot of money and is not short of manpower, their own war lord is enough to dominate, there is no need to join the war lord of other tribes, so even if it is a dead cannon fodder unit, there are as many as five war lords.
Five war lords, with a thousand warriors, a thousand goblins, plus a three-headed troll, this is already a lot of combat power, and the smaller tribes can even be eliminated directly with this force, it is no wonder that the blood axe tribe will choose the option of technical death, a force of this size, it is true that the half-orcs cannot start a civil war because they want to be consumed, the half-orcs are belligerent, but they are not stupid, once the chaos starts, all the order will be broken, for the big tribes, it is better to be stable.
In terms of quantity, it is naturally a little more half-orcs, but after removing the cannon fodder in the cannon fodder, that is, the half of the goblins, the number is almost the same, and in terms of morale, on the one hand, it is to guard the homeland, and on the other hand, it is sent out to die, which cannot be compared, but He Ping does not take it lightly, although the enemy is sent out to die, but morale is not something that can be mastered casually.
He Ping still remembers that there was a precedent in the history of the main world, during World War II, the United States entered the war, because the United States itself is a country of immigrants, so there are many descendants of countries, and it is the same in the army, the United States declared war on Japan, so the position of the Japanese soldiers in the United States is very embarrassing, and the choice of the United States at that time was similar to the blood axe tribe, they gathered all the Japanese soldiers to form a force, and then sent to the most difficult battlefield to carry out the most dangerous and highest casualty mission.
At first, no one thought that such a force would have any morale, and they did not think that they would be able to hold out for a long time, but the result was that this army played an excellent role in the most difficult battlefield, with high morale and strong combat effectiveness, and played a huge role in the victory of the Allies, and also won glory for itself, so morale is the most difficult factor on the battlefield.
