Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 432 283. Modao Team (optional)

(Personal understanding, picture Yile)

After setting the tone, Darkus studied the current situation with Lindyalok. The large forest goblin tribe here in Odd Todved must be dealt with.

Then the attack started on the next day. Darkus did not play any tricks and tried to organize some surprise beheadings. Instead, he asked Druch and Ainil who came with him to fight with Ainil in the Frostfall area. Neil began to compress the goblin's outer defenses, and he meant to compress the goblins into the ruins and tunnels of Ord Todved.

As we all know, there are two types of Bodhisattva cavalry: Wild Cavalry and Woodland Cavalry, as well as some scattered ones, such as Falcon Cavalry and Thorn Sisters.

The Woodland Cavalry is more like the Marauders of the Kingdom of Ulthuan Elion and the Dark Riders of Naggaroth. It is positioned as a light cavalry that can be used both near and far. In wartime, it uses spears and charges to gain an advantage in the weak points of the enemy. There is no chance. When attacking, use long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows to harass. In normal times, it is responsible for patrolling, vigilance and messaging tasks.

Since these three are light cavalry, they all have characteristics similar to vanguard deployment and concealment in the forest. However, the woodland cavalry has more characteristics of woodland residents than the other two and is more suitable for activities in the forest.

As for the Wild Riders, they are a bit evil. They are Orion's personal guard. The evil thing is that although they once belonged to the elves, the moment they became the Wild Riders, they were no longer elves in the true sense, but weird and A dangerous creature, an extension of Orion's will. Unlike the woodland cavalry who rode elven war horses, they rode deer, and individual elites rode giant stags.

The problem is that Lauren Loren is ruled by the blood of Aenarion, not Orion, so Lauren Loren doesn't have any powerful Wild Cavalry at all...

Giant Stag Rider? This unit is more... noisy. Strictly speaking, due to Lauren Loren's characteristics, the giant stag in the forest has no scale. For example, in a certain game, the giant stag knight can appear, which is the same as Lauren Loren's Aenir. This is an unattainable luxury. Even Athel Loren only exists on a certain scale, but more of them belong to the Wild Cavalry and the Sisters of Thorns sequence and the mounts of legendary elite figures.

Giant stags are magical beasts closely associated with ancient forests. It is said that when they emerge from their dwellings in the deep forests, it heralds the advent of an ominous age and the arrival of an era of great achievements. This noble creature can only be tamed briefly and can never be truly controlled. But even so, they are often used as war horses by those bold and noble elves who firmly believe that their cause is just.

This characteristic similar to that of a giant dragon and a giant eagle has already limited the size of the giant stag. To form a giant stag cavalry, it is necessary to draw the elites together to form a team similar to Santoku's ace battle that can knock on the door of hell. group. This elite refers to wild cavalry who hold officer positions on giant stags, woodland lords similar to Lindyalok, woodland captains and thorn sisters, which are destined to form the best part of the entire Aslay.

The position of the Thorn Sisters who serve Queen Ariel is similar to the maids and Avalon sisters beside the Eternal Queen, which is also destined to be rare in number and have some special characteristics.

So after circling around, Lauren Loren only had woodland cavalry, and of course there were giant stags. Lindyalok rode one, and then nothing happened. Anyway, Darkus didn't see the second one.

The arrival of Darkus just made up for the shortcomings of the Enir army in the Frostfall area. This is what his team is best at. Although the full power of the cold lizards and supporting tanks cannot be fully exerted in the forest, it is better than leaving the elves alone. Divide into combat groups and send them into the ruins on foot to be stronger. When playing away games at home, you must try your best to use your own advantages instead of being led by the home court.

The Snake Bite on the opposite side didn't believe in evil at first, so he sent out Wolf Riders and Spider Riders to try it out with the Cold Lizard War Group, but then nothing happened. With the terrifying charge of the Cold Lizard War Group and Enil's long-range support, , was defeated in one charge.

The arrow rain poured down by the goblin riders was like a joke in front of the heavily armed Druchi knights. The wolves and spiders that were supposed to harass the flanks did not get any benefits. They were either cut off by the cold lizards or shot by Enil's arrow rain. hedgehog.

Melee combat is even more horrific. The teeth of wolves and spiders are unable to break through the defense of the lizard armor, let alone bite the hard scale skin of the cold lizard and penetrate the venom. Instead, the cold lizard can bite off the wolf's spine or bite it off. The spider's arthropods bit the wolf and spider into its mouth like rag dolls, and then tore them to pieces. The goblins riding on the wolves and spiders suffered a worse fate than the mounts, and every Druch knight's Soul Eater had it. Wear a few wailing and struggling goblins, and after the battle is over, feed them to the cold lizards like sugar haws.

After trying once, Snakebite was not carried away by anger. He was cunning and no longer sent cavalry, but began to shrink his troops and retreat to Oder Todved.

Darkus, who was watching, did not participate in this battle, but observed the battle of the Enils. He discovered that in addition to the melee war dancers, the army in the Frostfall area also had a unique unit. A type of Assur Sea Guard that is similar to an offensive and defensive unit, but has evolved further and is not equipped with a shield. Elanor Denaris, who was previously sent out to run the group, is one of the main officers of this team.

Later, it was learned by Darkus that the prototype of this force was based on the Tritons who fled from Erso Talarian to Lauren Loren during the War of Vengeance. From the initial contradictory bow, it evolved into a long The battle axe, bow and shield disappeared in the process of evolution.

Neighbors consisting of the Tritons find that in most of the battles in Lauren Loren, the shield has no chance to function due to the fact that Aenir's ranged is simply too strong... The enemies Aenir usually faces are The long-range firepower provided by the beastmen and greenskins, the extremely rare Skaven, the orc boy, the goblin and the horned beast is tantamount to trying to do the same thing in front of Aenir.

Moreover, it is not conducive to form a shield formation in the forest. In small-scale battles, Enir usually fights scattered around the forest. Just like in the Golden Pool, Talos chose to deploy his troops on the edge of the forest and the wilderness, taking advantage of the wilderness. Open space and good vision for long-range strikes against enemies in the wilderness. In large-scale battles, Aenir fights around the tree people. It is not much different from small-scale battles in the forest. If you want to say the difference... the tree people can move.

Darkus weighed the ax in his hand, or it can also be called a long-handled sword, because he found that the axes held by Enil were not standard, but had obvious DIY differences, and they were exaggerated. For example, the long-handled ax Guandao held by Lauren Loren's wild forest ranger is a variant of the long-handled battle axe. The traditional one is an axe. He didn't pay attention to these, but only focused on the long-handled battle ax in his hand. He thought this long-handled battle ax was good! very good!

After swinging twice, Darkus was thinking about the long-handled battle ax held by Kerillian in a certain game, but through communication, he discovered that besides Kerillian's traditional use of the long-handled battle ax, there was another way to use it.

The connection between the ax head and the wooden handle of the long-handled battle ax is not integral, but like a shovel-shaped coin, but it is not exactly a shovel-shaped coin. The top of the shovel-shaped coin is in the middle, and the connection between the ax head and the wooden handle is at On both sides, this allows the user's center of gravity to be adjusted upward appropriately.

You can hold your right hand backwards in the groove where the ax head connects to the wooden handle, but this grip is more suitable for close combat and blocking. Then, you can adjust your right hand by turning it to advance the ax blade like a Clive Broadblade. If the enemy is in the armor or flesh, you can use your left hand to lift the tail of the ax handle to attack.

Of course, most of the time, she still holds the ax handle normally like Kerilian and chops. As for the usage of Wildwood Ranger in a certain game, it is a bit weird, and it is completely the usage of a big sword.

The long-handled battle ax held by Darkus belongs to Elano and was passed down from the Denalis family. According to Elano, this long-handled battle ax is called the Blade of Destiny, which is said to be able to cut off fate. The bottom of the ax body is engraved with three elven runes: Arhain, which represents shadow, night, stealth, secrets and treachery; Charoi, which represents strength, ferocity and braids; and Cadaith, which represents grace, power and the joy of the stars.

"This seems to be the battle front team of the early and mid-Tang Dynasty, right?" But Darkus did not focus on the elf runes on the long-handled battle axe. He suddenly thought of something.

The so-called battle team is relative to the garrison, and the garrison is also relative to the battle team. The two are a set of symmetrical concepts, and each of them includes some crossbowmen, archers, jumpers and surprise soldiers. The battle team is the combat force, and the garrison is the reserve team and the reception team. In combat and marching, the battle team is usually located behind the vanguard and in front of the garrison.

There was no war front in the composition of arms in the Tang Dynasty, but it was often mentioned along with other arms in records. What is a battlefront? The original meaning of "front" refers to the tip and sharp part of an edged weapon, so the original meaning of "front" should refer to the sharp-headed troops charging into battle. "The Collection of the Art of War of the Duke of Wei" mentioned: The vanguard team selects brave men and serves as the vanguard in every battle. In all battles, elites must be used as the vanguard. This will strengthen our ambitions and weaken the enemy's power. Related content is also mentioned in "Li Jing's Art of War".

For the marching Tang Army, whether the Dao Niao teams marched alone or the Dao Kuo teams marched in parallel, the vanguard was in the lead, but this was the situation during the march. As for combat, the same is true... When fighting close to the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, the battle vanguard is in front and is used as the first echelon, while the battle team and garrison are used as the second echelon. In addition to serving as the vanguard of the march and the vanguard commando, the battle vanguard also has the responsibility of guarding the baggage while marching.

To put it bluntly, the Battlefront is the ace and pillar of an army. Just like the first battalion consisting of a double hundred-man team developed by Darkus and Malekith in Asriel, it can also be understood as the core force of the general: servants?

This is also the reason why the Tang army sneered when they saw Cui Qianyou putting the so-called Modao team behind the formation, but this was just Cui Qianyou's attempt to paralyze the Tang army, and then the Tang army was fooled, and then Tongguan was lost.

Of course, some records also mention Zhanfeng together with Tiaodang, Qibing, Majun and garrison. This may be due to errors in the recorder, or due to local conditions or changes in the times. Archers and crossbowmen are not recorded in these records. This may be due to the habits of the generals, the differences in enemies, and other reasons.

However, these conflicting records correspond to the composition of the Tang Army's infantry. Archers, as the name suggests, are also called shooters. Crossbowmen are also as the name suggests. These two types of long-range arms are usually symmetrical and connected, such as crossbowmen.

Archers and crossbowmen are both types of arms that use long-range weapons. However, due to the differences in the technical performance of bows and crossbows, they need to cooperate in combat and are respectively responsible for killing enemy troops at different distances. The crossbowman fired his arrow when he was 150 steps away from the enemy, which is about 220 meters today. The archer fired his arrow when he was sixty steps away from the enemy, which is now about 90 meters. Within twenty steps of the enemy, which is now 30 meters, the archers and crossbowmen dropped their weapons and asked the garrison to collect them. Then they copied the Mo Dao and became the Mo Dao team... No.

Instead, switch to a knife and stick for close-range melee combat. As for what the knife and stick refers to in general, it is a matter of opinion. The source of soldiers, organizational system, etc. will cause obvious differences. The knife and stick may refer to the horizontal knife or the horizontal knife equipped for novices. It’s a mace, or it could be the legendary golden legend, Mo Dao!

The Assur Triton's bow conflict is similar to that of the crossbowman.

But there is something to be said for this close-range hand-to-hand combat. It is not about throwing down the crossbow and then directly picking up the blade and rushing towards the enemy who dares to rush over. There is a process of changing formations. Tiaodang will be behind the crossbowmen, and at the moment of formation change, he will step forward to pursue or attack the enemy, and the crossbowmen will follow. If you are frustrated, you have to go to the team and the Qi soldiers, and they will repeatedly rotate and adjust between each other. To put it bluntly, it is a grinding game.

It seems a bit confusing and contradictory, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is just that. The overall military framework and composition of arms have always been the same, it just depends on the generals' preferences and habits and local conditions. Tangtu is too big, and the enemies around it are also complex and diverse. Some of them can be shot directly by the crossbowmen and be defeated in one round. At this time, they may not even be able to change formations, because it is too late, and all the spoils will be gone. The crossbowmen will He directly put on his sword and stick and the horse army rushed forward.

Some are difficult to resist, and after one round of shooting, they will continue to rush over and fight with the Tang army. At this time, they have to change their formation, jump forward, and the team or crossbowmen take up the position. What is important is a flexible, complex and diverse social system. The social system of the early and mid-Tang Dynasty can also support this framework. As for the future...

Tiao Dang may have the meaning of charging into battle, mopping up, and charging. As for the specific details, there is no way to know now. Anyway, it is pretty much the same, which means very awesome, because the special skill in the Tang Dynasty was called Tiao Dang. The vanguard advanced and fell into a strong position to overwhelm the masses. There are differences in holding weapons, it is likely to be two-handed weapons, swords and shields, or contradictions. The same is true for the Qi soldiers. Their combat tasks and weapons are different. They are a combat unit whose main task is to adapt to changes, win by surprise, and carry out maneuvers.

The crossbowman corresponds to the black sharp repeater, and the jumper corresponds to the fear spearman and the gloomy swordsman. As for the surprise soldiers, there is no corresponding, but a larger independent battle group, except for splitting according to the team's organization.

Darkus always felt that the planned adjustment of the army organization in Asriel was a bit strange. The general framework was similar to the Roman legions, while the smaller framework was biased towards the Tang Dynasty's tactics. In addition, there was Santoku's battle group. As for the specifics, he doesn't know, and he doesn't specialize in this area. Time travel comes with the emperor's bayonet.

During the time of Asriel, the Druqi fear lords who understood this also had a quarrel over the positioning of the Black Sharp Repeater. Some thought that they should be placed behind the Dread Spearmen and Gloomy Swordsmen to launch or stand behind them. Conduct suppressive fire on the enemy from the vehicle. There are also suggestions to place it in the front and cooperate with the Reaper Ballista to pour long-range firepower, and then change the formation at close combat range. Some people think that there is no conflict between the two and they can be placed in front of the formation first and then behind the formation.

The research was put on hold by Malekith, who planned to experiment after returning to Naggaroth.

Darkus has never commanded a large corps in battle, and he is not even a serious fear lord. However, he always believes that no matter what happens in the end, the Black Reinforcement Crossbowmen should be equipped with melee weapons.

Although the Black Sharp Crossbowmen are also equipped with shields and swords or mercers, Darkus always feels that it is a bit awkward. Druchi in melee combat lacks a weapon that can effectively attack Asur's shield, and The armor of Asul's regular troops is a bit hard. At this time, they need a heavy weapon that can break the armor or damage the bones under the armor, such as the long-handled battle ax or mace in his hand, which is grinding meat. time can play a key role. In addition, when marching and camping, the ax can also play a role in cutting wood.

Darkus thought about it and finally decided to bring some long-handled battle axes back to Naggaroth. Maybe when he returns, Malekith and Newkel will have already finished it. Who knows.

As time went by, Maranur, who was squatting in Cole Immamore, was called back by Darkus. In addition, the high-level spellcaster Isenda Skyweaver in the Frostfall area was also found. .

It's time to take the next step.

This chapter refers to the previous Druchi New Military System.
