Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane

The Greek battle formation of this era is centered on heavy infantry.

The standard equipment is helmet, breastplate, greaves, spear, shield, and short sword.

Because everyone in the phalanx stands densely together, the shield can almost protect most of the torso limbs behind it, so helmets, greaves, and other armors that are easily exposed outside the shield protection will be harder, while the breastplates are slowly decreasing. Heavy.

For example, the bronze breastplate engraved with muscle contours, familiar to later generations, was gradually worn by only a few elites such as military officers.

Of course, this is also related to the cost, because heavy infantry is a citizen soldier, and weapons and equipment need to be prepared by themselves.

A considerable number of civilian soldiers only use leather armor because of their financial resources, or even do not wear armor at all.

Because under normal circumstances, with the protection of a shield, the enemy's weapons will hardly hit their breastplate.

Even if the sporadic arrows rush through the shield array, their power is limited. Not to mention the leather armor, most of the time they can't penetrate the soldier's linen armor.

However, when such troops encountered Persian long-range light infantry, they suffered a heavy blow.

For example, the Greek-Persian war in which Grandpa Kassandra Leonidas participated.

Because the speed of the Persian light infantry is faster than that of the Greek heavy infantry, as long as the tactics similar to kite flying are used on a battlefield with sufficient depth, even if each attack does not damage the heavy infantry too much, the blunt knife will have a long time. Small record.

So, if the Greek heavy soldiers were kited so easily, wouldn't the enemies they encountered before were all fools? Can't think of this tactic?

In fact, apart from the fact that Greece lacks such an open battlefield where kites can be flying, the more important point is that the long-range projectile weapons here in Greece are much worse than those in Persia.

Although the javelin is powerful enough, its range is limited. And because of the load, the light infantry who uses the javelin as a projectile weapon does not actually move much faster than the heavy infantry.

Although the range of the bow and arrow is one or two times higher than that of the javelin, because of the humid climate in Greece, only a single bow can be used. The performance of composite bows in this environment will not be much higher than that of single bows.

In this case, Greece, where the power of bows and arrows is limited, will naturally be popular with heavy infantry.

Now, for the same reason, the arrow that was shot at Lu Yuan's door, in the eyes of Lu Yuan, who was originally a master of bow and arrow, was like a chopstick thrown by a friend who was playing at a party.

Lu Yuan grabbed this kind of thing casually, and then grabbed it into the palm of his hand.

Looking in the direction where the arrow flew, Lu Yuan saw the golden man who had seen him at the Order of the Gods assembly before, standing on a high stone mountain not far away, holding a Scythian bow-like tendon. The wooden horn compound bow, staring at him fiercely.

To be precise, staring behind him.

"Alexios?" Cassandra, who came out behind Lu Yuan, couldn't help but whispered when he saw the man.

"We need to talk!" After saying this to Cassandra, the man gave Lu Yuan a fierce look, then turned and climbed to the higher part of the stone mountain.

"Wait! Malaka!" Seeing his brother suddenly appeared, Cassandra chased up without saying a word.

Lu Yuan, who was only shot an arrow at the front door and stared at him, was quite unwilling to press the fire and gave up his plan to shoot the guy with an arrow backhand to teach him to be a man.

No way, compared to his visual pull force of 80 or 90 pounds, but the kinetic energy of the arrows fired is also comparable to that of a modern 40-pound bow, which is similar to the wet-infiltrated tendon and wood angle composite bow. The multi-pound keel bow is like a bug.

There are two types of compound bows in the Chinese context, one is a modern pulley bow with an eccentric wheel, and the other is an ancient classic wood bow and angle bow made of composite materials.

According to the classic compound bow definition, in fact, most modern bows can be called compound bows because they are not made of a single layer of wood, but are composed of multiple layers of materials including glue.

In this case, it is also a very common phenomenon to transfer the nouns after the connotation is changed.

The concept corresponding to the ancient compound bow is a single bow, which is a bow made entirely of the same tree branches or other materials.

Unless the wood material used to make this bow is very good, such as Angland yew, its performance is much worse than that of a composite bow of the same pound.

The steel bows that Lu Yuan learned to make in the plane of Nin all the way to the ebony bow and keel bow. According to this classification, they should belong to compound bows, and most of them are compound recurve bows.

Therefore, if Lu Yuan really used the keel bow to give that Demos an arrow, I am afraid that it is very likely to kill this guy directly.

The things behind that are pretty big.

However, even so, after Lu Yuan caught up with the two of them, he took advantage of their disagreement and made a mixed doubles with his sister Cassandra, and directly treated his **** as Lao Tzu’s first brother in the world. Alexios knocked to the ground.

"Impossible! How is it possible? I am a demigod! I am the **** of the church, how can I lose?" The golden armored man who was pressed on the ground by the two masters and apprentices, with unbelief and fear on his face, It's almost like the sky is falling.

"As I said, we are all a family, and we have the same blood on our bodies." Cassandra, who was robbed of his anger by his brother, still groaned a little, "Can you fight, but I can't fight?"

"You and I can understand, but what about him?" Jin Jianan turned to Lu Yuan and said fiercely, "Where did he come out? You said the family, is he yours...?"

"I think you were beaten lightly!" Cassandra broke his arm in angrily, and stopped what he was about to say with pain.

But then, she let go of the golden armor man's arm.

Seeing her doing this, Lu Yuan was angry anyway, and at the same time let go of the other arm of Jin Jia Nan.

"You guys, don't you kill me?" Jin Jia Nan stood up and rubbed his shoulders, looking at them with uncertain eyes.

"I told you all, we are a family. Although I don't know what nonsense the church guys used to lie to you, it's not true!" Cassandra said bitterly, "I really missed you back then. I rescued you and caused you to fall off the cliff."

"Just like in my memory you read with the pyramid artifact."

"But I always wanted to save you."

"Now, fortunately you are still alive, can you give me a chance to correct my mistakes?"

"Let's go to my mother with me, your church member told me personally that they are about to catch her. In order to use her to blackmail you!"

"Do you think I would believe your nonsense so easily?" Jin Jia Nan curled his lips disdainfully, "Needless to say, I won't let you go. Family or something, they abandoned me before, and now I don't need them either. !"

"It doesn't matter if it's you or the mother!"

"However, I will investigate what you said about the church."

"If anyone dares to calculate their gods, what awaits them is a ruthless god's punishment!"
