Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

　　 Because the elves need to recuperate temporarily, the position of archer in the Condor Legion can only be performed by the human warriors themselves.

　　Considering that the current arrows are all wooden arrows, they are not very powerful, so Ning Yuan only transferred two hundred elven short bows from the elven warriors, and temporarily formed a team of 200 archers.

　　Although Ning Yuan invited elven instructors for these human warriors, after some field operations, Ning Yuan didn't give them much hope. At least for a short time, they would definitely not be able to train.

　　Ning Yuan has never touched bows and arrows in reality, but after reading history books and watching movies and TV series, he still knows the historical status of bows and arrows in the cold weapon period.

　　As a major killer in the period of leading weapons, bows and arrows have very obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The biggest advantage of 　　 bow and arrow is that it can attack the enemy from a distance.

　　 Taking advantage of the terrain, some bows and arrows with relatively large pulling force can even attack the enemy hundreds of meters away, so that before the enemy rushes to the front, it can kill the enemy a lot of vitality and weaken the enemy's overall strength.

　　 Some outstanding marksmen are even more frightening to the enemy.

Bows and arrows in their hands are like modern sniper rifles. They can use their precise shooting skills to continuously kill those tricky enemies on the battlefield. They can even change a war by directly sniping the enemy commander. The trend.

　　 The so-called open guns are easy to hide and dark arrows are hard to defend, which refers to the assassination of cold arrows by sudden use of bows and crossbows.

　　 Of course, bows and arrows are not invincible, otherwise the two armies would simply have more archers than either side. As a long-range weapon, the bow and arrow are the biggest nemesis of thick shields and armor.

　　 Bows and arrows are used to shoot soldiers who don't have much protective equipment on them. It is simply a multiplier with half the effort, but if they encounter enemies wearing thick armor and holding hard shields, the effect they can exert is not satisfactory.

　　 Since ancient times, heavy infantry has always been the absolute nemesis of archers.

　　 Although the heavy infantry is clumsy, the armor and shields they wear are not pierced by the arrows in the hands of archers.

　　Especially when they are advancing with their shields, they can be said to be flawless, even the great marksman can't do anything with them.

　　 At this time, the most sensible way for the archers is to retreat quickly, otherwise once they get close, what awaits the archers will be a massacre of great disparity.

　　 Of course, this is only a situation in the field of diplomatic warfare. If it is a defensive battle, then as long as you don't shoot arrows, it is difficult for those heavy iron cans to climb onto the wall.

　　Because the advantages and disadvantages of archers are so obvious, in the ancient cold weapon wars, when the two armies engaged in battle, they would give priority to finding ways to target the archers in the enemy camp.

In the field diplomatic war, the heavy cavalry regiment is simply a nightmare for archers. Facing the heavy cavalry rushing over at high speed, the archers simply have no power to fight back. Once the heavy cavalry breaks through to the archer’s square, then What awaits them is bound to be a tragic massacre.

　　 The characteristics of the archers focusing on offense and light on defense make their survivability on the battlefield almost as low as the fingertips.

　　 The victor is a little bit better, after all, they are the dominant side and can well protect the archers in the formation.

But the archers of the losing side may not be so lucky. The lightly clothed and lightly armored archers will become the main targets of the enemy cavalry. At this time, their choice is to surrender or die. After all, the two-legged It is impossible for humans to run a four-legged iron ride.

　　As a member of the infantry arm, the archers are like other infantry brothers. Once defeated, their losses will be the greatest.

　　 It takes at least several years or even longer to train a qualified archer, so once one's own archer troops are killed in a large-scale battle, then it will really hurt the bones.

　　 A qualified archer needs not only good archery skills, but also excellent arm strength. After all, continuous bow drawing is a physical task, and most people really can’t do it.

　　Neither archery nor arm strength can be accomplished overnight. They require years of practice. A qualified archer corps must be trained for at least several years before it can gradually take shape.

　　 And this is often unacceptable to those rulers who are eager to start war, so in ancient times, archers eventually appeared to two extremes.

　　 The first is to train archers as versatile fighters. In addition to having superb archery skills, they must also be proficient in close combat skills.

　　 Once the enemy rushes closer, they can immediately become the most qualified melee soldiers by picking up their swords.

They can bend their bows and shoot arrows at a distance, swing their swords to kill the enemy at a distance, and can adapt to various complex situations on the battlefield. They are truly elite in the military. However, it takes a lot to train such an all-round army. Time.

　　 The second is the pursuit of quick success. The rulers have only one requirement for archers, that is, to be able to shoot arrows to the designated area. Their main task on the battlefield is to shoot arrow rain to prevent the enemy from approaching.

As for how many enemies can be shot, it's all of God's will. Anyway, the commanders don't expect them to snipe the enemy alone. They still want to kill the enemy by relying on their numerical superiority. After all, so many arrows are shot out. ~www.novelmtl.com~ Some enemies must be shot.

　　The biggest advantage of this kind of rapid prototyping archers is that it only takes a few months of emergency training to train a large number of rapid prototyping archers.

　　 So even if they suffered a huge loss on the battlefield, the army commanders would not feel too distressed. After all, they had not yet reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones. As long as there were a lot of reserves, they would soon be able to replenish them.

　　As a modern person, Ning Yuan definitely hopes that all his soldiers can become the first kind of all-around fighter.

　　 But time is waiting for no one, so he can only temporarily train a batch of quick-formed archers. Perhaps the only good news is that these quick-formed archers are more proficient in close combat.

　　 Compared to their unsightly shooting skills, their excellent close combat ability was Ning Yuan's only comfort.

　　Since everyone has just come into contact with bows and arrows, Ning Yuan does not require them to be able to hit a hundred shots. He only made one request, that is, that they can shoot arrows straight ahead at a distance of more than fifty meters.

　　 Don’t look at this requirement as simple, but for a layman who has just begun to learn bow and arrow, it is actually quite difficult. Not to mention others, even Ning Yuan himself, only one shot of three arrows met this requirement.

　　The main reason is that the wooden arrows are still too light to control. As for the elf instructors, they are racially gifted after all. Although the human race is good at learning, learning also requires a certain amount of time for hard training.

　　 Ning Yuan estimated that these human subordinates of his own want to reach the level of the film and television drama. If they don't practice hard for three or four years, don't even think about it. It seems that the mixed army of humans and elves should also be on the agenda.
