Chapter 3936 Because I am too strong, I have no choice
"Where did the Han army manage to get so many shield guards?" Ardashir's face turned green when he saw the shield guards coming like a tide. I'm afraid there must be fifty thousand of them. This kind of thing
How to solve this problem when it is so big?
"It's normal, just get used to it." Oswin said calmly. He was used to it. Every time he fought with Cao Cao, the most difficult thing to deal with was not the elite troops, but the huge shield guards who were often unable to attack or kill.
, I want to solve it but don’t know how to start.
"Have you not considered how to deal with the shield guards?" Ardashir asked casually, and then issued a command order to have the central army retreat and be suppressed by the archers on both wings.
Although this tactic is of little significance, because the ability of archers of ordinary legions to suppress shield guards is not only zero, but also less than 1%. Even if they are accidentally shot, they will not suffer multiple injuries, and even
No bandaging is required.
"For now, it seems that shield guards should only take penetration strikes, concussive strikes, and blunt strikes. The problem is that this type of strike has no defensive bonus, and the mortality rate of soldiers is too high." Oswin executed Al
Dashiel's command command releases the Eternal Blazing Sun, strengthening the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and boosting their morale.
At that time, both Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had the idea of using shield guards to force the Kushan soldiers to change their talents, but later this idea ended inexplicably before it even took off.
Because there is still a small distance between theory and reality. This distance is that the armor of the shield guard is too thick. It is so thick that even after the Kushan soldiers were forced to use concussive strikes, they still could not kill the shield guard on the spot. However, they themselves were because of
He took Shock Strike, had no defensive talent, and was killed by the Shield Guard. Among the talents, the fully equipped Shield Guard was undoubtedly the strongest.
It is true that the shock talent can restrain the shield guard, but the shock talent cannot kill the shield guard with one blow, especially when both sides have the first talent. The shock talent can sustain the shield guard to death, and it will take several hits to kill the shield guard.
, the problem is that the shield guard pawns are actually adaptive and lay the foundation.
If you can't kill them on the spot, you will gradually adapt to this damage mode. There are only a few ways to restrain the shield guard, and it is not difficult to adapt. The final result is that life is short, and you still want to take shortcuts, okay?
, I'll give you a ride.
In the future, no one will use concussion, bluntness, or penetration type talents, because if you can't kill the opponent, you will also get yourself killed. The effect of a talent is very clear. At this level, the ceiling is too low, and it is impossible to be so outrageous that it can kill you with one blow.
The extent of the opponent's kills.
On the contrary, there is no defense and it is easy to be beaten to death by the opponent. So when facing the shield guard, there is no good way to deal with it at the same level or even one level higher.
The solution that can be thought of at present is to replace the main Kushan infantry with full armor, and then take the defense strengthening route. Although it will not be able to overwhelm the shield guards, the defense of the heavy infantry is enough to allow the soldiers to face the attack of the shield guards.
You will not fall into embarrassment.
The problem is that this idea is very good, but how to realize it? Full armor is not something that can be achieved just by thinking about it. Kushan can produce enough weapons and basic equipment because there are special open-pit mines. You can now
How many years would it take for Kushan's smelting level to arm the entire army.
Even if Vesuthiva I was at the level of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and could bring all the country's iron mines into a monopoly, he would still have to have enough output. But in fact, Kushan's annual output is between 10,000 and 20,000 tons.
This is because Kushan is an open-pit iron mine, and the ore is of good quality and can be smelted directly without screening.
But in fact, if the 10,000 to 20,000 tons of iron production can really fall on the heads of the soldiers, it will be no problem to comprehensively strengthen military strength and arm the soldiers with armor, but this is completely impossible.
, at least Vesudeva I could never do it.
Take the Central Plains as an example. On the surface, the salt and iron official camps were controlled by the state, but in fact only Emperor Wu really did this. I am afraid that it would be impossible for the Western Han Dynasty to achieve this level.
During the reign of Emperor Wu, the annual output of iron was about 20,000 tons. Of course, there was very little steel. Ninety percent of the iron was used by the government to arm soldiers. This was also the reason for the ratio of armor and treasury reserves during the Western Han Dynasty.
The reason for the ridiculous number of armors.
The subsequent dynasties, even the Tang and Ming dynasties, actually did not reach this crazy level. The steel production in the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties could reach and exceed the level of the Western Han Dynasty, but the scale of direct government control was even far less than that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.
This is also the basis for the Western Han Dynasty to support all the people as soldiers. The Donghai County Arsenal recorded in the Han Dynasty Tomb "Arsenal Collection of War Vehicles and Vehicles in the Fourth Year of Yongshi" contains 538,000 crossbows, 78,000 bows, and 1 crossbow arrow.
More than 11 million, long weapons such as guns, daggers, spears, and broadswords totaled more than 300,000, and this was just a large arsenal of the Western Han Dynasty.
Of course, only the Western Han Dynasty could achieve this level. After Guangwu, the conscription system collapsed, aristocratic families rose, loopholes began to appear in the Yantie official camp, and there was no such level of management anymore.
The situation in Kushan is the same. In terms of iron production alone, it’s not that they can’t arm an entire army. The problem is that in the entire Chinese millennium, there was only one dynasty that could achieve this level. Vesutiva I got it.
How strong must you be to complete it?
Of course Oswin didn't know this. All he knew was that Kushan's steel production was not enough to arm all the soldiers.
Ardashir had no doubts about this situation. In his opinion, it was not bad for Kushan to be armed to this extent. What was strange was that it was the Han Dynasty.
In fact, the Han Dynasty was not strange. In Chen Xi's words, he just did what he could and should do normally.
"Let the legions on the left and right sides squeeze inward, and let Falgon, your Sun Knights, and my Holy Death Riders be prepared to guard against Hua Xiong." Aldashir greeted Oswin.
, and then the originally concave front changed further.
It was also the first time for Ardashir to command the soldiers of Kushan. He was a little unfamiliar and the scheduling process was a bit messy. However, he quickly adapted to this change and spoke highly of the soldiers of Beigui.
To be honest, after fighting with the Han Dynasty for so long, it would be strange if they could not obey orders, not to mention that Aldashir's command was much more efficient and faster than Oswin's.
Even though the Shield Guards were too thick-skinned and unable to bite, Aldashir still found a way to use other legions to contain the Shield Guards' offensive.
"Mobilize the Bactrian heavy infantry in front of the shield guards to defend the entire line, and let the gun array suppress the heavy infantry behind." Ardashir quickly mobilized the battle line and began to gradually restrict the shield guards and shield guards.
Fighting to the death will not work. So far, Ardashir has not found a way to kill fifty thousand upward shield guards on the battlefield.
Soldiers with such rough skin and thick flesh can make people suffer from mental breakdown. Even if they want to kill them by force, it will take a lot of time. What is even worse is that Aldashir discovered that after the soldiers of the Shield Guard were injured and dragged away, it would not take long for them to return again.
Appearing on the battlefield, the recovery speed is too fast.
"You also discovered it, right?" Oswin looked at Aldashir's strange little eyes and sighed, "We have discovered that the other party's talent is called adaptive, which can adapt to and recover from even minor injuries.
A special talent. In fact, this talent has a very wide adaptability range."
In fact, it was not so outrageous originally. The problem is that in today's battle in Kandahar, in addition to the shield guard's own adaptability, there is also the adaptive effect brought about by Cheng Yu's spiritual talent and legion talent.
In addition, every injury suffered by the shield guard is a minor injury. Over time, it has a certain degree of adaptability, but it is a bit too weird to show it now.
If they are not killed on the spot, it won't be long before the shield guards who have been dragged away, bandaged and treated will come to the front line again. The combat effectiveness can basically be guaranteed to be 95% of the normal state.
There are only a few types of injuries that shield guards can suffer. Over the past few years, their ability to adapt to these targeted injuries has reached a certain level. Of course, the most important thing is that they cannot break through the defense most of the time, resulting in
It cannot recover from injuries, so it evolves slowly to adapt to growth.
Ardashir took a deep breath. It doesn't matter. We can still fight. The shield guards are difficult to deal with, so use the same heavy infantry to hold them back first. Both sides are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. No one can get through in a short time. Just hold them back.
Yeah, the shield guard's attacks are relatively rubbish.
Just when Aldashir used the Bactrian heavy infantry to block the shield guard, Cao Zhang took action. Cao Zhang's headquarters, holding a crossbow, directly locked the Bactrian heavy infantry, relying on the long-range strike of the crossbow to directly
The shield guards in front cleared the blockade.
Cao Cao's command was very simple, because he had previously discovered that Ardashir had a strong ability to judge the situation and was likely to have amazing performance in command, so Cao Cao changed to a more rigid method.
Who made Cao Cao more resourceful and more durable? The shield guards relied on their constant numbers to suppress the front line, forcing Guishang to invest heavy infantry to intercept, and then Cao Zhang used crossbows to clear the way.
Although this method is more dangerous, Cao Zhang's crossbows may hit one of his own, but Cao Cao allows Cao Zhang to have a slightly different hit rate, and can cut back the Kushan front, causing turmoil, and then use the shield guards to attack the opponent's heavy infantry.
It doesn't matter whether they are beaten to death or not. What is important is to overwhelm Guishang's central formation. The opponent definitely doesn't want to fight such a large-scale shield guard, so what Lao Cao does is to force the opponent to strangle the shield guard.
There was a heavy explosion, and thousands of short spears cut towards the rear of the Kushan formation. Ardashir's expression did not change. His fantasy soldiers had suffered such a blow, so when he made the previous arrangement, he
