Chapter 442 Crushing Thoughts

"Okay, let's introduce something else!" Guo Hao dismissed the topic lightly.

What's there to say about the Royal Guards? Moreover, they are also the Strongshi Shield Guards transformed from the Yellow Turban Warriors. Doesn't he know what are the advantages of these guys? They are infinitely powerful, determined, and fearless of death. They basically have three talents.

threshold.

But that's it, the way forward is cut off, these yellow scarf warriors will not be able to become military souls in this life. From now on, it will depend on their performance on the battlefield, whether they can get the third talent.

"Is there a long-range corps? Let me see if there is a long-range corps. They are all infantry and cavalry. Won't they be at a disadvantage when fighting a large war?" Guo Hao looked at the configuration of the Eighth School of Xiyuan. It seems that there is only one bow and arrow.

Hand Corps.

"In fact, there is not much need for long-range troops. Apart from defending the city, load-bearing is actually a big problem!"

Huangfu Song immediately covered his face. Thanks to his guilty conscience before, Guo Hao was not a military genius after doing this for a long time.

He could tell from Guo Hao's words that Guo Hao was not a layman, but he was most likely a novice, because only a novice could ask such outrageous questions.

"Actually, to fight a large-scale war, just a few long-range legions are enough. Too many will actually affect the performance. The scale without an organized system is for nothing, but the archers with an organized system are of no use against the real elites.

.”

Huangfu Song really scorned the archer as a unit. In the big pit of the Central Plains, archers were of no use at all.

"How could it be? The long-range legion should be an important arm of war!"

Guo Hao looked at Huangfu Song in confusion. Archers are basically indispensable in all war games. Why do archers have such no status here in Huangfu Song?

"Do you think archers are meaningful for shield guards?" Huangfu Song was speechless. It turned out that Guo Hao really knew little about it. Unfortunately, he always thought that Guo Hao was a genius like Huo Qubing.

At this moment, Huangfu Song realized why Guo Hao liked to go to Taixue so much before. He thought that Guo Hao was going to accompany Dong Bai, and he really went to school together.

"...But for soldiers who are not shield guards, killing enemies should still be very advantageous, right?" Guo Hao scratched his face, really not understanding such counter-intuitive things.

"That's just an illusion. In fact, archers are an integral part of the battlefield. After a battle, the archers suffer the most losses, and the ones who kill the fewest enemies are the archers." Huangfu Song said solemnly, "Isn't it very counter-intuitive?

intuition?"

"It's true that there are some, but since you can say that, there are probably more things that I don't know about, right?" Guo Hao admitted honestly without showing any airs.

"General, most of the archers are strong men. The bows and arrows shot in this way are more powerful and more deadly, but this is compared to regular soldiers. With the birth of elite talents, the importance of archers has declined.

soon."

"In the main soldier stage, archers rely on their physical strength. Archers are not disadvantaged in close combat. They are also a big deterrent to soldiers wearing armor. However, with the development of elite talents, the basic quality of the arms

It will be corrected by talent.”

"With the first talent, it is useful to completely abandon melee combat and focus on archery, but with the second talent, archers are completely removed from the main stage of war."

Huangfu Song sighed. In fact, the bigger reason is poverty. Who is the God of Wealth like Chen Xi, and whose family is not living a tight life.

"For example, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, their throwing effect far exceeds that of archers, and they can also catch the bow and arrow with their faces and kill the archer army by force!" Huangfu Song gave an example.

"You must have heard of the reason why the Han Dynasty retained the long water and the sound of shooting."

"The purpose of shooting sound is to restrain various strange talents and achieve the ultimate one-for-one effect, while the purpose of growing water is to deal with civilians!" Huangfu Song revealed the cruel reality.

Indeed, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a very convincing example. Let alone ordinary archers, Changshui is all about scratching the itch of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

But in turn, the long-range attacks of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were fatal to Changshui.

For archers, how to play without breaking the defense?

"So the current position of archers is very embarrassing. They are useless against strong units, and their lethality against weak units is not as good as other units. They are neither better nor worse. There are only two classic legions, Shesheng and Changshui."

Huangfu Song said with a heavy face, "Who doesn't want to use archers to enrich tactics? There is really no way."

"Furthermore, archers require far more supplies than other types of arms, even double or even multiple times. When a large army is fighting, it is easy to fall into the embarrassment of empty ammunition, which is really bad."

"In contrast, even if I am carrying a shield guard, I can still launch a legion attack to replace the effect of the archers. It is really not necessary."

Huangfu Song finally sentenced the archer to death, which was useless in his plan anyway.

"You can train a few of them. It's acceptable to exchange a pot of arrows for a regular soldier or something like that. After all, the value of a young and strong man is much higher than a pot of arrows, right?"

Huangfusong was speechless. This kind of confidence in not taking money as money was really shocked. This was unimaginable a few years ago.

In the past, human lives were not as valuable as arrows, and they even had to engage in extreme military units like sharp soldiers. But now it's the other way around. They are really wealthy.

"Wait a minute." Guo Hao frowned. He suddenly felt something was wrong.

"You didn't count the explosive arrows, did you?" After a while, Guo Hao finally found the blind spot.

The shortcomings mentioned by Huangfu Song can be completely compensated by the krypton gold effect. Huangfu Song, the arrow developed from the engraving, does not seem to be included in this.

"Explosive arrows are too expensive to make! And it doesn't make much sense if they can't be mass-produced!"

Huangfusong rolled his eyes. Exploding arrows were not something people played with at all. Ten years ago, a war might have emptied the national treasury. Only a devil would use such a thing.

"Luoyang has already mass-produced it. You start preparing to study a related legion." Guo Hao looked at Huangfu Song sideways.

Typical ancient war thinking, if you don't want to spend money to fight a war, it would be too stupid to fill the hole with human lives.

Caliber is justice, range is truth.

For players like Guo Hao who are deeply influenced by modern warfare, long-range firepower is king.

How can we fight a war if we don’t have enough firepower? Let’s blow it up, we’ll blow it up to death, how easy it is to wash away the ground with artillery fire!

Huangfu Song opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. Guo Hao's words made him feel a deep dimensional shock.

That is a kind of dimensionality reduction called Shenhao, which crushes the poor.

"We have a prime minister, money is meaningless!" Guo Hao patted Huangfu Song on the shoulder, what a poor man's thinking!
