Among the weapons and equipment used by the Roman city army, the most distinctive and lethal are the square-line spearmen and the cold archer Longhuan. These two arms created by Bai Feng are the most unique and special existence in the world.
Barbarian warriors lacking the coordination of battle fronts and sophisticated weapons and equipment always pay a very heavy price when facing the phalanx pikemen and long archers; from this perspective, these two arms are more powerful than the Roman city system army. Deterrent.
However, the formation of the phalanx pikemen is quite difficult; on the one hand, the phalanx pikemen’s own training is very complicated, and it takes a long period of time to form combat power; on the other hand, the phalanx pikemen must There must be cooperation from other arms.
In comparison, it is more convenient to form long archers in the Roman city; the barbarian warriors who are used to hunting with ordinary bows and arrows are also very handy when using Lenghuai long bows, and they can quickly form combat power.
Although the accuracy of the archery of the barbarian warriors is questionable, the accuracy of the individual archery is no longer important under the coalition-level 400-meter projection of at least 2,000 people. The dense arrow rain itself is the sharpest long-range strike the way.
The Longbowmen unit formed based on the Barbarian Warriors also has an advantage that cannot be ignored, that is, the Longbowmen’s melee combat ability is exceptionally sturdy; this is also determined by the Barbarian Warriors’ excellent talents, each of them is born Warrior.
In order to maximize the fighting power of these barbarian warriors, Bai Feng specially equipped each longbowman with a short sword when he adjusted the legion last time; in this way, the longbowmen can effectively carry out once they have lost the cover of their friendly forces. Self-protection.
In some cases, on certain battlefields, the Long Archers can also rely on their powerful close combat power to cooperate with friendly forces to launch direct attacks on the enemy; such a sturdy archer force, Rome City is also the only one!
The ultra-long range, powerful melee, and intensive throwing, the long archer troops of the city of Rome are definitely the best archer troops in the world, and there is no one; this point, even the army of the civilized world, can’t compete with the city of Rome. compared to.
In view of the tremendous role played by the Longbowmen's forces in the development and growth of the city of Rome, Bai Feng had a high glance at the Longbowmen. This time, the Longbowmen were used as the main arms of the 10,000 new army, and the higher cost infantry was formed. Instead, it became an auxiliary unit.
The new army of 10,000 people was divided into three Longbow Wings and two elite infantry Wings; because a considerable amount of weapons and equipment were stored in the warehouse in Rome, Bai Feng was able to directly form two Elite infantry of the wing.
The biggest difference between elite infantry and ordinary infantry is not the combat power between the two, but the weaponry used between the two; the former can almost be regarded as a replica of the Roman Youth Army, the latter is the standard barbarian warrior dress .
Ordinary infantry wearing leather armor, using round shields and long swords, are considered barbarian warriors after standardization; while elite infantry wearing armor, using square shields and short swords, it is a replica of the Roman Youth Army. It is a very Roman army.
There is a system training in Rome as a way to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. The selection of soldiers that had originally been different can actually no longer affect the combat effectiveness of the army; only the weapons and equipment used by the soldiers are still an important factor affecting the combat effectiveness. .
The comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of long swords and short swords depends on the choice of the military’s battle array and the tactical application of the commander; the square shields and armor used by elite infantry are obviously more costly than ordinary infantry. The buckler and leather armor are higher.
Of course, this is not to say that the combat strength of elite infantry must be stronger than that of ordinary infantry; if divided according to strict arms standards, ordinary infantry belong to the type of light infantry, and elite infantry should belong to the type of heavy infantry, which are two types. Arms.
If the two armies are fighting head-to-head, it must be that the heavy infantry is stronger than the light infantry, that is, the elite infantry is stronger than the ordinary infantry; if it is replaced by mobile combat or special terrain combat, it may be the proportion of light infantry The infantry is stronger.
The strength of an army is definitely not maintained by one or two strong arms, and the combination of multiple arms is the basis for a strong battle; Masaru Sanada, Shinshin Nanbu, and Gushan Kangshan are the elite infantry of the Roman city. Cooperate with the troops.
As early as when the army was stationed in Sanhu City, Bai Feng discovered that the army of the Yamato Empire was extremely lacking in heavy infantry; those light troops that served as the main body of the army were light infantry using leather or bamboo armour, even None of those samurai are heavy infantry.
The resource-poor Yamato Empire had to cut back on food and clothing as much as possible in order to form a larger number of troops; in addition to barely light infantry, many families of the Yamato Empire still use peasants on a large scale force!
The farming and civilized Yamato Empire is not a barbarian of all people and sturdy by nature. Their peasants are not barbarian warriors who can fight with their weapons. It is such a country that even peasants directly take weapons to the battlefield.
Fortunately, this incredible situation did not happen to the Sanada family and the southern family, otherwise Bai Feng should be disappointed; no one wants to belong to his own army, and in the end it is a group of peasants with no military value.
It is precisely because of the special status quo of the Yamato Empire that when Bai Feng considered the composition of the new service, he directly formed two elite infantry instead of ordinary infantry with lower costs.
As for the long archers of up to three wings, it is also determined according to the actual situation of the Yamato Empire; the armoring rate of the southern family and the Sanada family is relatively low, which also gave the Roman army the long archers to contribute Opportunity.
Later, Bai Feng was confirmed from the beliefs of Nanxin Shinji and Sanada Changxing that the entire army of the Yamato Empire had a low armour rate; the Yamato Imperial Army lacking armor always suffered casualties when facing the archer troops. heavy.
This is the real reason for Bai Feng to form three long captains of the United Wings. He is attacking Yamato and the empire with the length of the Roman city. When the Roman city’s army expands in the Yamato Empire in the future, the sturdy combat power will definitely make the family of the Yamato Empire. shocked!
The formation of this new army of 10,000 people requires not only a large amount of weapons and equipment, but also the tailors of the Roman city to make a large number of military flags and battle flags; this is the father of the Yamato Empire, God knows why their army wants people There was a banner in the back.
Bai Feng, who had to go to the countryside and follow the customs, allowed the tailors of the Roman city to produce 5,000 banners painted with the family patterns of the Yan and Huang families within ten days; Bai Feng firmly believed that one day, the flags belonging to the Yan and Huang families would fill the whole Yamato Empire!
