Daming: Insist on 60 billion explosive soldiers unwaveringly

At this distance of 40 meters, the infantry archer is the god of death, and the sharp arrows can penetrate the iron armor, not to mention the musketeers wearing light armor.

But at a distance of more than 40 meters, the power is only weakened a lot, and the arrows are just as lethal.

And Zhu Youchen glanced at the equipment on the archer, and the smile on the corner of his mouth completely bloomed.

Bow, quiver, leather helmet and leather armor, and a short knife.

The equipment looks crude, but Zhu Youchen's heart is already full of joy: "More than 2 taels of silver, not only trained [-] step archers, but also [-] fully equipped step archers."

　 　"This equipment alone will cost more than ten taels of silver. If all the 20 foot archers are arranged, it will cost [-] taels of silver."

20 taels of silver.

This is only the cost of the equipment. If the recruitment and training costs are included, the cost of an infantry archer is more than 30 taels.

The investment before and after will cost 60 taels of silver, which is almost one-third of Ming's annual tax revenue.

For such an expense, it would take more than a year of training, but when he went to the battlefield, he was easily killed by a musketeer who trained for a month.

The investment and harvest are really not directly proportional.

It is not unreasonable that bows and arrows are gradually replaced by muskets.

It's just that Zhu Youchen is full of confidence when he looks at a walking archer who is famous.

Ten musketeers can instantly kill ten archers.

But on the battlefield, [-] archers in formation can destroy [-] musketeers in an instant.

Musketeers on the battlefield are arranged in three layers at most, and they will be blocked by their comrades in front of them, but infantry archers do not have such a problem.

Even if they are arranged in six rows, there is no problem of blocking the shooting area at all.

They can still shoot with bow and arrow.

"The archer in my hands will burst into its original glory and emit even more dazzling brilliance."

And the archers are so good, Zhu Youchen is looking forward to the spear-throwing fighters who can be near and far...

Chapter 79

There was non-stop training on the shooting range, and a series of archers came out with bows and arrows.

The period takes less than 15 seconds.

It takes 15 seconds to directly create a qualified archer, which saves at least a year of training time for archers in reality.

Shocking!

It is even more terrifying.

But Zhu Youchen still seemed dissatisfied. Now that the storm is coming, he has to race against time to accumulate troops.

Liu Xiang's defeat will definitely attract Fengyun Shibazhi and Zheng Zhilong, and even the Spanish and Portuguese behind Liu Xiang.

The country of Java is even more related to the Governor of the East India of the Netherlands, not the East India Company, but the Governor of the East India based in Sri Lanka.

Once the two parties have made a decision, they will surely strike with the force of thunder. This is different from Liu Xiang, it is a real test of life and death.

"Twenty thousand foot archers and spear-throwing fighters must be trained within three days."

"It is also necessary to build arrow towers on the walls of the city to strengthen the defense."

However, this is not the result Zhu Youchen wanted, at least not to defend on his own city.

Even if he wins in the end, it will cause damage to the city, and may even cause casualties to farmers. He doesn't want to see any of these situations.

"The best defense is offense!"

Zhu Youchen murmured firmly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't guarantee whether the governor of the Dutch East India who had received the news would combine with Liu Xiang's forces who had made a comeback, and he didn't dare to take such a risk.

Although the Dutch, the Spaniards and the Portuguese were fighting to the death before, facing him as a spoiler, the two sides will definitely join forces and will never give him any chance to stand up.

And these two parties are not mobs, and joining together is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.

"The only plan for now is to take the initiative to attack, and at the same time burn the flames of war to the gates of the two families, and lock the battlefield on their land. Anyway, we will fight sooner or later, so let's take advantage of this time to let go directly."

Zhu Youchen clenched his fists with a firm face.

Nanyang is such a big place. If he wants to use the resources of the whole Nanyang to strengthen his power, sooner or later he will have to fight these forces.

His domineering demand for resources made it impossible for the two sides to negotiate at all, and only one side fell completely.

However, when Zhu Youchen thought of this, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"As long as I win any side, the power under my command will increase explosively once, and then I will be able to completely overwhelm the other side and completely occupy the entire Nanyang."

This is the whole Nanyang.

At this time, there is not one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Overseas merchants bring in silver ship by ship, and then bring back gold ship by ship.

Or other hard currency equivalent to currency.

"As long as I control the South Seas, my gold resources will continue to be produced. My soldiers and horses will grow like a snowball."

gold.

gold unit.

This will only become more and more important in the future, and it will directly determine the number of troops and warships under his command.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen's complexion completely sank, and without the slightest hesitation, he clicked on the system directly.

If one shooting range cannot be used up in a short period of time, then build two.

"System, build another shooting range."

[Ding, it costs three thousand gold to build a shooting range. 】

Boom! ! !

Immediately, the foundation of a shooting range was raised again on the edge of the original shooting range, and the surrounding farmers did not need Zhu Youchen's order to consciously go up and speed up the construction.

Jingle bells.

With [-] farmers working on it, the construction speed of the shooting range was accelerated a lot in vain, and the speed visible to the naked eye began to take shape.

Soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, a brand new shooting range stood up.

At this moment, Zhu Youchen's mind suddenly sounded a clear reminder from the system.

【Ding, spear throwing fighters are training, please wait...】

Zhu Youchen was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face: "It turns out that they can train separately."

Originally, Zhu Youchen thought that building a negative shooting range would only increase the training speed of the shooting range, but he did not expect to be able to train arms separately.

In this way, in the future, he can train spearmen and swordsmen at the same time in the barracks, without delaying both.

While thinking about it, a tall spear-throwing warrior came out of the shooting range. He was wearing blue leather armor and looked capable.

Under the blue leather helmet is a pair of wild eyes, holding a short wooden spear about 1.5 meters in one hand, and a round shield with a diameter of one meter in the other, which looks extremely heavy.

Zhu Youchen glanced at it, and found that the shield was three centimeters thick, but it was as light as a toy in the hands of the spear-throwing warrior, and his biceps were raised high.

The spear-throwing warrior immediately came over and bowed down to Zhu Youchen, but after Zhu Youchen excused himself, he directly checked the attributes of the spear-throwing warrior.

[Spear Throwing Warrior: HP: 30, Attack Power: 2, Armor: 0, Shield: 3, Range: 4]

Zhu Youchen's eyes lit up immediately.

Although the HP is only 25 points higher than the 5 points of the peasant like the archer, and his attack power is only one-third of that of the swordsman, his shield is three times that of the swordsman, and his shooting range is as high as that of the archer. It's four o'clock.

This is a fighter who has both offense and defense and focuses on defense.

It is also the strong shield he urgently needs.

With infantry archers and spear-throwing warriors, his soldiers and horses will not be single, and they will not be easily targeted.

The shortcomings of soldiers and horses were completely made up for at this moment.

At this moment, soldiers and horses are not a single type of arms, they can already form legions!

In the future, when they kill a few times, they will be able to advance to each other, and their strength will become stronger.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen was eager to try immediately, his peaceful eyes instantly became murderous, and a general plan was formed in Zhu Youchen's mind.

"After three days, the training of [-]-step archers and [-] spear-throwing warriors will be completed."

"At that time, my army will just land on Sumatra Island, establish a base, fight all the way south to Batavia, and set the Dutch battlefield (King Zhao) in Batavia."

"Arrange another group of people to cross the Sulu Sea and land on Luzon Island. While eliminating the indigenous people to improve their strength, they will march towards Manila and drag the Spanish and Portuguese on Luzon Island."

"And I took [-] infantrymen and spear-throwing warriors along the way to Machen on the other side of the island, and then immediately established a new port city, and then let the warships directly go to Batavia from the sea. "

"A complete war!"

Zhu Youchen's tone was sonorous, but his eyes were shining brightly, and this was still a war on three sides!

For others, such a war on three sides is almost self-defeating, but Zhu Youchen has a virtual map, and can use the system to contact every soldier.

Even if he is not on the scene, he can control the battlefield situation in time.

It can also replenish troops at any time.

The advantages are huge!

In an instant, Zhu Youchen's eyes became firm, and he roared in his heart:

"Just do it!".

Chapter 80

"Just do it!"

Zhu Youchen immediately issued an order in his mind to the spearmen who were still resting.

"Immediately set out to sweep northward, wipe out the natives, gather resources, and reach the seaside."

At this moment, [-] spearmen headed to Sumatra have been divided, and the remaining spearmen are only [-].

However, this is enough.

As soon as Zhu Youchen's order was issued, the gate of the barracks, which was originally closed, opened suddenly.

"Tap Tap!!!"

The [-] spearmen carried spears on their shoulders and stepped out of the barracks in a neat step. The uniform blue leather armor surged like sea waves.

Mighty.

Murderous!

All the way down the avenue in front of the camp and directly out of the city through the north gate, the footsteps of more than 2 people were like drums of war, and the breath of gold and iron horses spread suddenly...

Zhu Youchen's eyes were excited, but he frowned soon, with a serious look on his face.

"Before I only focused on development, but forgot the banner. If there is a banner, my army will be even more powerful and terrifying."

In the era without instant communication, the flag is not only the key to the most convenient and fastest transmission of information for the army, but also an important part of the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Zhu Youchen can micromanage all the troops, but that doesn't mean he can abandon the flag.

After all, this is the real world.

Every soldier is no longer a piece of data, but a person of flesh and blood.

Even though the soldiers of the system are not afraid of life and death, they are also tired and sometimes tired, and their morale cannot be kept high forever.

And it is impossible for Zhu Youchen to boost the morale of the army anytime and anywhere, so he cannot do without the banner.

What's more, the army with the flag looks more mighty and solemn.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen's eyes brightened, and he made up his mind to get things done with the banner.

"Now the area I control is getting bigger and bigger. It is no longer one state and one county before. The flag can no longer be delayed."

"It's just that this matter can't be completed overnight."
