Chapter 432: Long-range attrition tactics, hunting begins(1/2)
Rodok crossbowmen have higher attributes than light-armored archers.
In addition to the advantages of the kingdom's arms, it is also related to their excellent qualifications.
When Zong Shen redeemed them, he specifically exchanged them for these crossbowmen with higher qualifications.
Judging from attributes and skills alone, there is no doubt that the damage of these Rodok crossbowmen is indeed very high.
The basic piercing damage has reached 64~67 points. You must know that the initial piercing damage of the third-level Dragonborn Ranger when he was first recruited was only 70 points.
If these guys have their skills fully activated, their single-click output ability is not even inferior to that of the Dragonborn Ranger.
However, the output of crossbows actually has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Crossbows are less difficult to use and aim, and their range and power are often stronger than longbows of the same weight.
Any crossbow has a cocking device, which allows you to aim without having to consider small issues such as continuous force, straight line force, and whether the position is accurate.
For most people, it is quite friendly. After a short period of training, they can master considerable shooting accuracy.
The learning process of bow and arrow shooting is relatively long, and the training period is also relatively long.
The training cost to train a qualified archer is even greater.
However, the mass production cost of single bows is cheaper, and powerful compound bows can also be made.
Similarly, in long-distance shooting, arrows are more stable than crossbow arrows.
As for the rate of fire, the radio frequencies of large-pound crossbows are actually about the same.
The speed of shooting is related to strength and proficiency.
In short, crossbows are two long-range brothers with their own advantages and disadvantages.
After checking the detailed skill attributes of the Rodok Crossbowmen, Zong Shen already had a clear idea in his mind on how to maximize the effectiveness of this unit.
Based on the 65-70 points of basic piercing damage of these long-range warriors, ordinary shooting is enough to cause 10-15 points of damage to the snow monster.
Within a minute, at least a dozen rounds can be fired, which can cause one to two thousand points of damage.
Plus Luna's Huntress Squad, Wolf Cavalry Squad, and Water Mage.
Including Zong Shen himself is also a combat force that cannot be underestimated.
After everyone intervened, Zong Shen was confident that the battle would be over within five minutes.
If it weren't for the snow monster's almost demonic frost-casting ability, this time could even be shortened again.
Luna parked the loader mecha in the open space, jumped out of the driver's seat nimbly, shook off the snow on her body, and walked quickly towards Zong Shen.
The same goes for all the soldiers, arranged into two uneven columns.
Waiting for Zong Shen to issue the order to go out.
Luna put one hand on her chest and reported to Zong Shen in a formal manner.
"Sir, all the soldiers have been assembled."
"Please give further instructions."
Hearing this, Zong Shen slammed the trident into the ground with one hand.
A gap the size of a watermelon was immediately created in the ice.
Debris and snow foam flew everywhere under the cone-shaped impact head.
All the soldiers suddenly became quiet and stood up straight.
"Winter is coming, and the snow monster is coming."
"Today's task is very simple."
"That's hunting snow monsters."
"I hope these few days of leisure time have not sapped everyone's fighting spirit."
Zong Shenyan said concisely and comprehensively that after setting off for the expedition in a few days, the necessary sense of ceremony cannot be missing.
“It’s a great honor to stand side by side with you!”
All the soldiers roared, including those who had recently joined.
Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction and took out another modified loader mecha.
This time there are a lot of people going on the expedition. Except for the wolf cavalry and the huntress who bring their own riding beasts, everyone else needs to ride the loader mecha.
"Vereesa, you drive this one."
Zong Shen pointed at the loader mecha that Luna drove back.
"Twelve Rhodok crossbowmen, six light crossbowmen, four dragonborn rangers, four water mages, Tasia, Aishia, you all get on board."
"Your mission is to roam and attack, always maintaining a distance of 100 meters to 150 meters to launch sustained long-range strikes."
"Except for Tasia and Aysia's fourth-level summoning skills, you can each use your own skills at will."
"Katis, all of you dragon-turned-gun-and-shield warriors are riding in another loader mecha."
"This loader mecha will be piloted by me personally."
"Luna, Colby, you are responsible for roaming and attacking, and find suitable opportunities to launch attacks on your own."
Zong Shen quickly deployed, and the two loader mechas were equipped with different warriors.
It is divided into melee group, long-range group and guerrilla group.
All the soldiers followed his request and got into the cargo hold of the loader mecha.
Zong Shen first put the [Magic Heat Ball] that he had thrown on the ground back into the storage compartment.
Within the effective range of the thermal ball, the entire ice layer was melted by one or two centimeters.
A less obvious depression was formed.
Zong Shen quickly came to the side of another loader mecha, pedaled to the driver's seat with ease, took out the magic energy crystal, filled it with magic energy, and then activated the magic energy core.
Start first and head towards the southwest of the territory. There is a golden circle mark 4.3 kilometers to the southwest. This mark is second only to the golden circle mark in the southeast.
The east to southeast sides have already been handed over to Doris and the others, and Zong Shen is not prepared to interfere.
The main purpose of this team is to train them.
For this reason, he would not hesitate even if there were some casualties or damage to buildings.
As the base of the territory becomes larger and larger, the population increases.
He can no longer be the carefree nanny he used to be.
If the wings are spread too wide, the chick will not be able to learn to fly.
Zong Shen now just wants others to have the ability to take charge of their own affairs.
As the first batch of heroic talents, they will become the mainstay of the territory.
Moreover, heroes can also be recruited under their names.
He hopes that even when he is not in the territory or other situations occur, other heroes in the territory can shoulder their responsibilities and let the territory develop steadily instead of standing still.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is actually the case even for solo battles.
There were one or two hundred warriors in Zong Shen's territory.
He cherishes his feathers too much, which is actually wrong.
Only bleeding pain is the best teacher, which can promote everyone's growth and progress.
The same goes for Vereesa and Doris, who are currently designated as battle heroes by him.
It was precisely because he figured this out that Zong Shen completely changed his previous style.
When the territory is still small and weak, cherishing feathers and being cautious is the right choice.
But when the territory gradually develops and grows, you should not be too nervous.
This will limit the potential of the territory. There are hundreds of farmers, more than a hundred warriors, and hundreds of kobolds, but they cannot be fully mobilized.
It must be experienced and shed blood in order to cope with the multi-threaded development of the territory.
No matter how powerful Zong Shen is, he can only deal with one thing at a time.
He wore a battle helmet, which blocked most of the cold wind while driving.
After carrying people, the loader mecha has a higher self-weight.
This makes driving in the snow smoother.
The homemade snow shovel installed at noon also played a big role.
The height of the snow shovel is slightly higher than the height of the chassis, and it can be adjusted appropriately through the position of the socket.
Now the entire height can be used to scoop up the snow and ice in the front that is higher than the chassis.
Even some protruding ice layers will be shoveled away.
The bottom edge of the snow shovel has been slightly sanded.
