Chapter 64: Preparing for Battle

Rooks, the giant swordsman, didn't talk nonsense, and the things he explained were simple and to the point. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stolen...... No, the ordinary beasts have long been wiped out, and now there are only some territorial monsters left around Grizzly Village, but these monsters basically only operate in their own territory, and they generally don't come out......"

Ziegy sat in the chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest, muttering to himself in thought.

"Why didn't I think of that? You recruited me yourself?" Suddenly, Ziggy stood up from his chair and touched his chin and sneered.

Ziggy was most worried that these militiamen in Grizzly Village had never seen blood, and those who had never seen blood could not be counted as soldiers, but just some peasants with weapons.

The real combat effectiveness is all veterans, the so-called veterans, in fact, is very simple, that is, they have killed people on the battlefield and seen dead people shed blood.

A veteran who has really seen blood will not be timid in front of the enemy.

Recruits are nervous when they see the enemy, their weapons are unstable, and once the situation is a little bit bad, these recruits will be the first to collapse, and once a recruit flees, it will bring about a chain reaction.

As soon as there is a rout, everyone will follow the rout, and the new recruits will affect all the soldiers, because the soldiers at the back of the line do not know which are new and which are veterans.

It is likely that it was just a small contact before the battle, and if the recruits fled too much, it would cause a major collapse that the general could not control, and eventually lead to defeat, which is called a one-touch collapse.

An army with real combat effectiveness is because there are many veterans in the army, and the more veterans of a hundred battles who have seen blood in the army, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

Why is it that when many dynasties were founded, the army was very strong in combat, but it often happened that after "peace for a long time", once the army was invaded by foreign enemies, it was vulnerable?

It is because after a country has "been peaceful for a long time", all the troops in the army are recruits, and when the recruits encounter an enemy attack, their first reaction is to be nervous, and the second reaction is to drop their weapons and run away.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were able to run rampant in the coastal areas, except for the disadvantages of the tuntian system, because the soldiers in the coastal areas had never seen blood;

The Taiping Rebellion was able to develop into the establishment of the capital in Nanjing in just two years, and it also took advantage of the fact that the Qing soldiers at the end of the Qing Dynasty had not seen blood......

There are many such examples, and as long as the country maintains peace for a long time, the weakening of the army's combat effectiveness is an inevitable phenomenon, and this cannot be avoided.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct exercises, and with exercises, the army can at least maintain a little combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Ziggy plans to lead the Grizzly Village to clear the demonic beasts around the village, which is not only a drill, but also a blood training for them.

After killing the powerful monsters, when facing the organized attack of the steppe orcs, it is not some rookie eggs, but some veterans.

Moreover, these monsters are just some unintelligent animals, dozens of militiamen with crossbow arrows to deal with a monster, even if the monster is powerful, it can't withstand ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.

......

In the following days, Ziggy ordered the bearded Biden to train these militiamen, and with these crossbow machines, the militia in Grizzly Village could shoot much more accurate crossbow arrows, and after two or three days of training, all the militiamen could basically do it from a distance of 30 meters without missing the target.

And the next deal between Grizzly Village and the Hegus Department will be in this day or two.

Early in the morning of this day, Ziggy asked Biden to gather all the militia from Grizzly Village and go into the mountains and forests near the village to carry out the first encirclement and suppression of the monster.

Before leaving, Zig suddenly had a feeling as if he was upgrading in the jungle, but it was these militiamen who were upgraded, not one person.

Ziggy's first target was an ice-type monster in the woods near Grizzly Village, which was entrenched in the woods near the village and had already injured a lot of people.

This ice-type demonic beast is a well-known black-veined two-headed tiger in the north, this kind of demonic beast is not only widely distributed in the mountains of the north of the icy and snowy land, but also has a lot of numbers.

The black-veined two-headed tiger is extremely fierce, and it can also spit ice mist, and it is also the existence at the top of the food chain among Warcraft, but fortunately, his Black-veined Two-Headed Tiger has similar habits to many Warcraft, and will not easily go out of his territory.

Of course, if humans break into their territory, they will naturally be attacked by them.

Half of the militia was left to defend the city, and the other half of the militia was led by the bearded Biden, accompanied by Zige, to hunt the black-striped two-headed tiger together.

In addition to these militiamen, Dwayne Johnson, Zigger's minotaur slave, also traveled with him, and before leaving, Zieg promised him that he would be given his freedom as long as Dwayne Johnson had served ten times in battle.

"Does it include meritorious service in the process of hunting and killing Warcraft?" "The Minotaur Orc slave Dwayne Johnson is not stupid, this matter must also be asked clearly, if Ziggy said that the killing of Warcraft is not considered meritorious, then he probably does not plan to contribute.

"Yes, I assure you, whether it's in the process of strangling the monster or in the battle with other races, as long as you fight hard, it can be counted as a meritorious service!" Zig hammered Dwayne Johnson's shield hard, reassuring the orc.

In order to fully equip Dwayne Johnson, Zieg asked Blacksmith Finn to tailor him an iron tower shield and a spear.

If it weren't for the tight schedule, coupled with the limited crafting skills of Blacksmith Finn, he could only build iron tools and not steel weapons, otherwise Ziggy would have wrapped Dwayne Johnson with a layer of steel armor and a steel shield.

An orc race like the Minotaur Orcs, known for their strength, should be equipped with good steel armor to absorb damage in front of the team, and this thing has a proper noun called a meat shield!

Of course, if Dwayne Johnson is covered with a layer of steel armor all over his body, plus a steel shield, whoever dares to come and gnaw on this kind of meat shield will have to shatter a mouthful of teeth!

Isn't Ziggy afraid that Dwayne Johnson will leave him after he gets free?

This is where Ziggy is shrewd, the Minotaur orcs are an enslaved race in both human society and steppe orc society, and where can he go without Ziggy?

As long as Dwayne Johnson is free, Ziggy gives him a separate room, and he is treated the same as a human soldier when he fights or works, and this minotaur orc will follow Zig with all his heart!

As a free orc!

With Dwayne Johnson as an example, the other Minotaur orc slaves will follow suit, and for the sake of freedom, they will fight for Zig.

In this way, Ziggy can use the powerful race of the Minotaur Orcs to form an all-steel tower shield, all-steel weapons, and all-steel armor Minotaur hoplite infantry regiment!
