Heroes of the Invincible call a thousand troops

The reason why the long-range troops are divided into several waves is mainly to maintain the continuity of long-range strikes and maintain the suppression of firepower in this area. We do not seek explosive firepower, but only continuous and stable damage output.

The most important thing is that the archers get enough opportunities to relieve the arm muscles, so that their number of bows will be improved to a certain extent.

These archers are generally equipped with archer arm guards to protect their hands. This device is like the wrist guards on the wrists of basketball players. Although it is relatively limited, it can play a certain protective role.Not only that, but the standard archer equipment of the Kingdom of Sunshine not only includes a bow and a few pots of arrows, but also the archer arm guard, as well as the thumb spanner and standard archer gloves.

Archer gloves are common, mostly leather, but it counts as half a glove, not two.Because this glove can only cover half of the palm and two fingers of the right hand (the same goes for a small number of left-handed people), that is, the index finger and middle finger. The final shark skin has enough toughness and abrasion resistance to protect the important part of the archer.

Many archers without this equipment, such as ordinary hunters, often have their fingers cut or even cut off.Of course, the so-called masters are among the folks, and some folk archers have already grown calluses on this part of some folk archers because they have played too much with the bowstring. I am afraid that this abrasion resistance is not much worse than the so-called archer gloves...

But can't all ordinary archers be required to reach this level?So, basically this is the most important equipment for archers besides bows and arrows.

There is also a so-called wrench that fits around the base of the thumb.Many friends who like to watch movies in the late Qing Dynasty may know that there are many Eight Banners children who like to wear such a jade finger.It's for showing off.So in the image of many people, it is just an object.It's a thing!

In fact, the Eight Banners were indeed very prosperous before the Manchus entered Beijing. They claimed to be proficient in bows and horses, and they were the trump card troops that the Manchus were able to seize the country.It's just that as soon as he entered the capital, he was corrupted and depraved by this world of feasting and debauchery.And because there is almost no war in the future, they are heroes.As a result, these second-generation officials learned to carry cages and bird cages one after another, and went to hang out with the fanciers in the capital. How could they see the shadow of professional soldiers?Only a few things speak of their former glory.

Like this wrench.

The finger puller is actually a very important piece of equipment for archers. Its main function is naturally to protect the most important fingers of the archer, and more importantly, it is used for rapid bow opening.With this trigger, the preparation time for the next arrow launch can be greatly accelerated.It's even more important for riders.But this so-called jade wrench finger has mostly been reduced to an object to show off its status, and it has already lost its former edge! (Ku Shou belongs to the Han nationality, but it does not mean to advocate the Manchus at all. This is just a case-by-case discussion. Just a little introduction to the origin of the finger pull. I couldn’t beat them before, so don’t blindly deny and cover up. The Manchus have ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years, objectively The facts are here. Whatever you say is pale, so you must face it squarely. Know your shame and be brave. Whether it is for Man or Han.)

Naturally, it is impossible for William's [-] archers to be equipped with jade wrenches like the wealthy Eight Banners disciples.In the archer standard equipment of the Sunshine Kingdom, they are equipped with iron fingers, and among them, the pretty ones have already made the iron fingers, and in the middle position, there is an obvious groove by the bow string. .This is the trace left by long-term use of its bow to shoot arrows quickly...

In addition to the standard equipment above, it is an ordinary quiver and standard leather armor. This does not require too much ink, and everyone is the same.

In terms of weapons, these archers can also selectively choose a weapon, which can be a dagger or a dagger, and the knife is not bad, as you like.It's just that depending on the weapon chosen, it can reflect the archer's accomplishments in close combat.

If you only choose a dagger, it basically means that this archer can be regarded as a pure archer, and it is difficult to fight melee with others. It is really difficult for this dagger to exert any attack effect on the battlefield.Generally, it is either used for occasional sneak attacks, or it is simply a table knife used for cutting meat, and at most a self-defense dagger...

The so-called self-defense use is equivalent to "masturbation use", which is used to commit suicide to avoid being captured and abused.

The short sword is basically not too different from the dagger, but it is still somewhat useful on the battlefield, and there are masters to use it well...

The one who chooses a knife should be a little more aggressive, and can be used as a light infantry in a critical situation... On the other hand, if you have a knife, I am afraid that your archery skills will be limited!There is no absolute in everything, God knows if this guy is good at shooting bows and arrows, and he also has an ancestral saber technique?

In any case, in the Sword Demon Continent, there are almost no rangers who can ride and shoot, and those who can shoot arrows basically belong to the infantry sequence.Even if a small number of cavalry and even flying soldiers who can shoot on the move are occasionally trained (in the previous Human Pegasus Knights, there was a small group of warriors who could shoot arrows in flight), they will be thrown into the battlefield almost immediately up, all lost.

Not so the centaurs on the opposite side, they are born rangers.Lin Tian had dealt with them many times and suffered a lot. In a certain battle before, he was almost let off a kite by these centaur archers...

It's just that Lin Tian has capable people under his command. The running speed of these centaur archers is slightly slower than that of real war horses, and there is even a gap between them and high-level paladins. It's not as good as it is, so he rushed to the street helplessly.But to bully and bully ordinary human fighters, that's really reckless! Zhang Fei eats bean sprouts, it's a piece of cake!

It is because of this characteristic that Deschamps does not want them to fight directly with human shooters, which is too much of a waste of their abilities.As for William, he is also willing to be so non-interfering, you hit yours, I shoot mine.At least these centaur shooters have been narrowed down and become ordinary spot-up shooters, haven't they?

The melee troops on both sides braved the opponent's arrow rain and fought desperately there.

Generally speaking, the orcs will suffer a bit. After all, they have to maintain the momentum of charging despite the rain of arrows. Once they charge, it is inevitable that they will not be in place.But at this moment, the human warriors on the opposite side of them can concentrate on defending against the centaur's shooting. They don't need to move their nests, they can just hold on to this line of defense without breaking.

Defenders are always easier than attackers! (to be continued..)
