On a spacious flat ground outside the south gate of Bisque City, a thousand recruits just recruited by Zhou Yue are lined up here, in fact, judging from the queue, these level 5 recruits are already very good, with neat swords and guns, solemnly obeying orders, and stopping when the order is carried out, in terms of normal world history, it is definitely one of the strongest armies. Fastest update [Premiere]

However, this is in the Black City world, so they are too weak.

But Zhou Yue is still very satisfied, he doesn't expect too good results, as long as he can train these thousand recruits into five hundred to three hundred elites in the future, it will be worth it.

At this moment, Zhou Yue did not step forward to command in person, but watched Han Hao on the side to schedule and arrange various arms, after all, he is also a dog-headed military division, with training characteristics, although he is not as good as those famous generals, but he is still much stronger than Zhou Yue.

According to Han Hao's arrangement, two hundred pikemen were at the front, and twenty people were in a column, a total of ten columns, just forming a standard rectangular marching array.

On the left and right flanks of the pikemen phalanx, there were two hundred sword and shield infantry, which was also maintained in a column of twenty people.

The pikemen array was followed by the two hundred short archers, and after the archers, the two hundred light crossbowmen.

The last 200 patrol scouts were horsemen, and because they were slightly more mobile, they were placed last to take on the role of the last to be cut off.

As a result, the entire array became a standard T-shape, and it was also a very flexible offensive formation, and it was able to take care of the beginning and tail flexibly, with the pikemen and sword and shield infantry in the front to ensure that they could attack and defend at any time and maintain the most stable rhythm of the battle, the short archers and light crossbowmen in the center would launch long-range attacks while maintaining sufficient security, and the last patrol scouts could launch a flexible charge at any time.

The arrangement of this array was carried out very quickly, so that Zhou Yue in the distance had the illusion that he had played a strategy game before the disaster, but he knew very well that since the opening of the competition in the world of the Black City, whether it was the ancient forces recruited or the modern humans, they had reached the same basic attributes, that is, regardless of each other, they had also become living people, not monsters.

For example, the thousand recruits recruited by Zhou Yue at the moment, although they quickly appeared from the barracks, each of these recruits has their own independent thoughts, with different attributes and personalities.

This point, Zhou Yue can see it clearly when he looks at their attributes, the most obvious of which is that these thousand recruits all have their own names, such as Wang Big Dog, Wang Little Dog, Wang Lao Dog, Wang Yellow Dog, Wang Black Dog, Wang Hua Dog, Wang Ben Dog, Wang Paparazzi, Wang Dogzi, Wang Dog Legs, etc., although vulgar, it is enough to prove this.

Also, Zhou Yue also discovered that their basic attributes are also different, some are strong and some are weak, some focus on strength, some focus on agility, and some focus on defense, although the gap between them is not large, but it also vividly shows the significance of the existence of these recruits.

However, their equipment and skills are really rubbish, for example, the equipment of the sword and shield infantry is all the lowest level of whiteboard, level 5 standard wooden shield, level 5 standard long knife, level 5 standard cloth armor, level 5 standard cloth shoes, and several other types of troops are similar.

If there is anything special, it is the light crossbowmen, after all, a light crossbowman costs 50 gold, which is equivalent to 5 sword and shield infantry, which is more expensive than the cavalry.

And the so-called value for money, so the combat power of these 200 light crossbowmen is still very strong, and the equipment is not bad, although they are all tabula rasa.

They are level 5 cloth armor, level 5 cloth shoes, level 5 standard long knives, level 5 standard light crossbows, and 100 ordinary crossbow arrows.

Among them, the level 5 standard light crossbow is considered good, because the lethality of the crossbow is very powerful, and it is inherently stronger than the lethality of the bow and arrow, but the attack speed is very slow, for example, at the same level, the longbowman can shoot three to four times, and the crossbowman can shoot once, but the lethality is about three to four times higher than that of the longbow, and it is extremely accurate, more suitable for flat shooting, faster than the speed of the projectile.

Therefore, to put it simply, longbowmen are a technical type of troops, and they have high requirements for the basic archery skills of soldiers, and they need to be practiced hard.

Crossbowmen, on the other hand, are very easy to use, requiring about half the effort of an archer to achieve the same effect.

Once a crossbowman is equipped with a large number of weapons, it is quite a terrible store, such as the world-famous Great Qin crossbowmen, but there are also drawbacks, that is, they must win by quantity, because the launch is relatively slow, if it is a small number of crossbowmen, it is not comparable to the archers at all.

Also, it is difficult to have a super master in the crossbowman, but in the archer class, once you reach your peak, you can become a master in your own right.

The simplest example, among the famous generals in ancient history, there are countless famous generals who are good at shooting, such as Li Guang, the flying general, Lu Bu who shoots halberds at Yuanmen, Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals, and Xue Rengui who sets the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, all of which have reached quite terrifying attainments in bows and arrows.

However, throughout the ages, there has not been a single general who can be famous because of the crossbow, whether it is a famous general or an ordinary general, he will not use the crossbow as his own weapon, it doesn't matter if he uses it occasionally, but if he spends his mind on training, it is simply impossible.

On the one hand, this is because the crossbow is extremely fast to use and very powerful, but it is difficult to continue to improve with a single attack, but the bow is different, although it is less powerful in the initial stage, but after hard training, it can exert stronger combat power.

On the other hand, the crossbow usually only has one chance to attack, and then it has to be wound slowly, which is undoubtedly unbearable.

However, although generals throughout the ages did not favor crossbows, once they were equipped in the army on a large scale, they could form a huge power.

It is estimated that this is also the reason why this level 5 light crossbowman recruited by Zhou Yue would be so expensive.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this time he was going to Shattered Leaf City, thousands of miles away, to perform that extremely difficult mission, Zhou Yue even planned to recruit five hundred to eight hundred light crossbowmen, because once they grew up, it would definitely be quite terrifying.

In addition to equipment, the skills of these classes are also quite lacking, the sword and shield infantry only has a lv1 level chopping, a lv1 level block, the pikemen only have a lv1 level piercing, the short archers are lv1 level archery, and as for the light crossbowmen, they have nothing at all.

"My lord, all the soldiers have been lined up, and in addition, I have also picked out 50 candidates for the chief, and I ask the lord to decide!" At this time, Han Hao strode over with fifty recruits, and replied, although he has the characteristics of training, it is impossible for him to command this thousand people by himself, so he must need some basic officers, such as the chief of the army, the chief of the army, etc., the commander of the army cannot be carefully selected for the time being, but there is no problem in jumping out of 50 chiefs, each of them needs to lead 19 soldiers, so that it will not be too chaotic.
