Chapter 312: Crossbowmen


After receiving the three light infantry brigades that were replaced by the main army, Verina worked hard and made changes to her three wing.
First of all, after the original First Defense Wing and the Second Defense Wing received part of the soldiers, they were dispersed and filled into the army to serve as the backbone, which greatly enhanced the strength of the two winges. In the third wing, that is, the Shawan Port United, Verina simply set up a light infantry brigade directly, with the soldiers of the original police battalion, which formed the Shawan Port United Main force. At the same time, this also made the latest wing formed into the strongest overall combat force among the three wing of the garrison.
Now, don't underestimate the garrison in Verina's hands. With a size of 4,500 people, it is a net worth that some medium-sized warlords can barely reach. The weakness of the former soldiers was that, after adding some regular troops and improving them, most of the small warlords couldn't fight Verina's troops. Even if it seems like a dragon that has already disappeared, the strength of the heyday combined, if you want to be tough to eat the current garrison, it will hurt your muscles. It is not impossible to get rid of it.
Even more frightening is Dion's main legion.
Even the light infantry, which is regarded as the main arm of most warlords, has been considered a regular army sequence, and has been eliminated by Dyne. It can be seen how powerful his main army is. .
The establishment of the main army has still not expanded, and the size of the two alliances is 3,000. However, in terms of overall strength, it has been changed.
Among the first wing that can play a huge role in the front battlefield, the number of white wolf guards has been expanded to three groups, and a group of nine hundred white wolf heavy infantry can become a mainstay on any battlefield. .
In the battle with the Iron Nail Guards, they faced five times the siege of the enemies, and they were not weak opponents like the Infantry of the Chaos City, and they were able to sustain it for a long time. Not to mention, if they meet an opponent like a light infantry, they are afraid that they will not have more than ten times the number, it is estimated that they cannot even suppress the White Wolf Guards Regiment.
In addition, in addition to the three teams of white wolf guards and one team of white wolf cavalry, the first wing was also equipped with a team of crossbowmen.
Crossbowman is a long-range shooter from the White Wolf Fort altar building. These human archers, wearing leather armor and round steel helmets, equipped with daggers and crossbows, although not like the Ranger units, have very good archery skills and keen skills, but in Dane's eyes Judging from the human continent on the entire continent, there are very few long-range units capable of seeing more powerful than these crossbowmen.
The key to this is the crossbow in their hands.
These crossbows, really have to say their attack power, may not be as powerful as the long bows that are nearly one person tall, which are used by the elven shooters. The crossbows shot out are not nearly three times the length of the long arrows. Better than. However, these last boxes of crossbows, and then by shaking the rocker on the side of the crossbow, you can complete the fast filling equipment, and complete the normal archer at the shooting speed.
In a crossbow box, there are eight crossbow vectors, and quickly shake the filling and shooting. If you do not consider the aiming problem, all eight crossbow vectors can be shot out within one minute. What's even better is that the firing of the crossbow is just a matter of pulling the trigger. Where it is like a long bow, it takes a lot of energy to pull the bowstring once to complete the shooting.
It is also very convenient to replace the crossbow box. After the crossbowmen fired a crossbow box, they just need to discard the crossbow box and take out the new one, and they can reinstall it within half a minute.
Of course, the most cost-effective way is to refill the eight arrows with the empty crossbow box. A crossbow box is not cheap from the equipment factory, but if you really encounter the kind of continuous and fast fire that requires constant and intense attack, it is clear that what the crossbowmen can play The effect is even better than the Elven Ranger.
The only flaw is that if the long-range arms of the two sides shoot at each other in the traditional battle formation, the crossbowman's range is relatively disadvantageous. The crossbow fired by the projectile is not like a long bow and arrow. When falling down after crossing an arc, you can get a special kinetic energy bonus, and the damage ability will be reduced.
But in any case, although the crossbowmen are not enough, they are still more than enough. Even if it is not as good as an authentic Elf Ranger unit, but it has its own characteristics and is a very good long-range shooting unit-it is better than letting a light infantry equipped with a short bow serve as the long-range firepower of the first wing Times gone.
In fact, as the base of the sacred church, White Wolf Castle was used by human arms to train itself. Just like Orinel in the forest base, at the very beginning, they can train sword dancers and sentries. Orinel can also train the corresponding low-level arms-crossbowmen and infantry.
But Dane did not try to train crossbowmen at the beginning, because he was not very affluent at the time, and the training of crossbowmen also cost money. With that resource ~ EbookFREE.me ~, it ’s better to throw to the elite Ranger troops go up.
The reason why he started to train crossbowmen now is that he is on the verge of war, and he must expand his regular army combat power as soon as possible. In addition, when the building range of White Wolf Fort [Range Range] was raised to level 4, the crossbowman became a strong crossbowman, the level rose a lot, and it became valuable for training.
As for the other initial armies, infantry, Dane did not train them for different reasons than crossbowmen. The characteristics of White Wolf Fortress and the training program of White Wolf Guard are in the same building [barracks] as the infantry training ground. This means that if Dane wants to train the White Wolf Guard in the barracks, he cannot train the infantry, and the infantry cannot train the White Wolf Guard. Anyway, only one of them can be trained at the same time.
Then, whether it is [Infantry] or the upgraded class [Heavy Infantry] in the fourth tier barracks, there is a certain gap with the strength of the White Wolf Guard. Therefore, under the conflict between the two, Dane was so confused that he would not put the White Wolf Guard into practice and train ordinary heavy infantry.
The same reason applies to the cavalry unit of the Templar Base-[Light Infantry]. With the White Wolf Cavalry, Dane would not train ordinary light infantry. I didn't see that on the battlefield, when the outstanding light infantry of the Red Scarf Sand Riders was facing the impact of the White Wolf Cavalry, it was almost no different from the paper.
