Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Where did the Han army get so many shield guards?" Ardasil turned blue when he saw the shield guards rushing towards him like a tide. Maybe there were 50,000 shield guards. The scale of things is so large, in the end how to solve it.

"Normal, just get used to it." Oswin said flatly. He was used to it. Every time he fights with Cao Cao, the most difficult thing to deal with is not the elites, but the huge shield guards, who are often unable to fight or kill. , I want to solve it and don't know how to start.

"Haven't you considered how to deal with the shield guards?" Ardasil asked casually, and then issued a command order to make the central army retreat, and the archers on both wings suppressed it.

Although this tactic is of little significance, because the archers of an ordinary legion have not only zero but also less than one percent ability to suppress shield guards. Even if they are accidentally shot, they will not suffer multiple injuries. No need to bandage.

"From the current point of view, shield guards should only take penetrating blows, concussion blows, and blunt blows. The problem is that this type of blow has no defensive bonus, and the death rate of soldiers is too high." Oswin executed Al According to Dashiel's command, he released the Eternal Blazing Sun to strengthen the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and boost their morale.

At that time, both Huangfusong and Zhu Jun had the idea of ​​using shield guards to force Guishuang soldiers to change their talents, but before this idea appeared, it was inexplicably finished.

Because there is still a little distance between theory and reality, this distance is that the armor of the shield guard is too thick, so thick that after the soldiers of Guishuang were forced to turn the concussion attack, they still couldn't kill the shield guard on the spot. After taking the concussion strike, without the defensive talent, he was killed by the shield guard. Among the talents, the fully equipped shield guard is undoubtedly the strongest.

It is true that the concussion talent restrains the shield guard, but the concussion talent cannot kill the shield guard with one blow, especially when both sides are in the same talent, the concussion talent sustains the shield guard to death and injures the shield guard, and it takes several hits to kill the shield guard , the problem is that the shield guards are actually laying the foundation adaptively.

If you can't be killed on the spot, you will gradually adapt to this damage mode. There are only a few ways to restrain shield guards, and it is not difficult to adapt. The final result is that life is too short, and you still want to take a shortcut, okay? , I will give you a ride.

In the future, no one will use concussion, bluntness, and penetration types of talents, because they can't kill the opponent, and they will end themselves. The extent of the opponent's kill.

On the contrary, without defense, it is easy to be beaten to death by the opponent, so that there is no good way to face shield guards at the same level, or even one level higher.

The solution that can be thought of at present is to replace the main infantry of Guishuang with full armor, and then take the defense strengthening route. Although this will not be able to overwhelm the shield guards, the defense of the heavy infantry is enough for the soldiers to face the attacks of the shield guards. Not to fall into embarrassment.

The question is, this idea is very good, how to realize it? Full armor is not something that can be made just by thinking about it. Guishuang can produce enough weapons and basic equipment because there is a special open-pit mine. With the current level of smelting in Guishuang, it will take many years to equip the whole army. military.

Even if Wei Sudipo I has the level of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and can bring all the iron mines in the country into the monopoly, there must be enough output. But in fact, the annual output of Guishuang is 10,000 to 20,000 tons. This is because Guishuang is an open-pit iron mine, and the quality of the ore is good, so it can be directly smelted without screening.

But in fact, if the iron production of 10,000 to 20,000 tons can really fall on the soldiers, it is actually no problem to strengthen the military strength in an all-round way, and to arm the soldiers with armor, but this is completely impossible. , at least Weisudeva I absolutely could not do it.

Take Zhongyuan as an example. On the surface, the salt and iron official camp is controlled by the state, but in fact only Emperor Wu really did it. It is impossible for the Western Han Dynasty to achieve this level.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, the annual iron production 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. The reason for the outrageous amount of armor.

The subsequent dynasties, even the Tang and Ming dynasties, did not actually reach this crazy level. The steel output of the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties could reach and exceed the level of the Western Han Dynasty, but the scale directly controlled by the government was far less than that 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 Tomb "Arsenal of Weapons and Vehicles in the Fourth Year of the Yongshi Four Years", which contained 538,000 crossbows, 78,000 bows, and one crossbow. More than one million, long weapons, such as guns, daggers, spears, and broadswords totaled more than 300,000, and this was just a large arsenal in the Western Han Dynasty.

Of course, only the Western Han Dynasty achieved this level. After Guangwu, the conscription system collapsed, the aristocratic family rose, and the Yantie official camp began to have loopholes. There is no such level of management anymore.

The situation in Guishuang is the same. In terms of iron production alone, it is not that they cannot arm the entire army. The problem is that in the entire Chinese millennium, there is only one dynasty that can achieve this level. To what extent can it be completed.

For Oswin, of course he doesn't know this, all he can know is that Guishuang's steel production is not enough to arm all the soldiers.

Regarding this situation, Ardashir has no doubts. In his opinion, it is not bad that Guishuang can be armed to this extent, but the strange thing is 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, let Falgon, your Sun Knights, and my Saint Death Knights prepare to guard against Hua Xiong." Aldashir greeted Oswin , and then the original concave front changed further.

It was also the first time for Ardasil to command Guishuang's soldiers. He was a little unfamiliar and the dispatching process was a bit messy, but he quickly adapted to this change and spoke highly of Beigui's soldiers.

To be honest, after fighting with the Han Dynasty for so long, it would be a strange thing if he couldn't follow orders, not to mention that Ardashir's command was much more efficient and quicker than Oswin's.

Even if the shield guards were so rough and fleshy that they couldn't chew them, Ardashir still tried to use other legions to contain the shield guards' offensive.

"Mobilize the Bactrian heavy infantry to line up in front of the shield guards, defend the entire line, and let the gun array suppress the rear of the heavy infantry." Ardashir quickly mobilized the front, and began to gradually restrict the shield guards, and the shield guards Deadly knocking is not an option. So far, Ardashir has not been able to find a way to kill 50,000 upward shield guards on the battlefield.

It would take a lot of time to kill such rough-skinned soldiers who are so thick that they can cause mental breakdown. What's worse is that Ardashir found that the soldiers of the shield guards were wounded and dragged away. Appearing on the battlefield, the recovery speed is too fast.

"You've discovered it too, right?" Oswin looked at Aldashir's strange little eyes and sighed, "We have found out that the other party's talent is called self-adaptation, which is a kind of ability that can adapt to recovery from even minor injuries. Special talent, in fact, the scope of adaptation of this talent is very wide."

In fact, it wasn't so outrageous in the first place. The problem was that we were fighting in Kandahar today. In addition to their own adaptation, the shield guard also had the adaptation effect brought about by Cheng Yu's spiritual talent and legion talent.

In addition, every time the shield guard suffered minor injuries, after a long time, he had a certain ability to adapt. As for the performance now, it is a bit too weird.

If they were not killed on the spot, it would not be long before the shield guards who were dragged away, bandaged and healed would come to the front line again, and their combat effectiveness could basically be guaranteed to be 95% of their normal state.

There are only a few types of injuries that shield guards can suffer. Over the past few years, the ability to adapt to these types of targeted injuries has reached a certain level. Of course, the most important thing is that most of the time they cannot break the defense, causing No injuries, so the evolution rate of adapting to growth is relatively slow.

Ardashir took a deep breath, it doesn't matter, he can still fight, but the shield guards are difficult to deal with, so first use the same hoplites to hold them back, both sides are rough and thick, no one can get through in a short time, just dragging Yes, the shield guard's attack is relatively rubbish.

Just when Ardashir used the Bactrian heavy infantry to block the shield guards, Cao Zhang made a move. Cao Zhang's headquarters, holding the crossbow, directly locked the Bactrian heavy infantry. The shield guards in front cleared the blockade.

Cao Cao's command is very simple, because before he found that Ardashir has a strong ability to judge the situation, and he is likely to have an astonishing performance in command, so Cao Cao changed to a more rigid method.

Who made Cao Cao richer and more resistant to beatings? The shield guards relied on a constant number of suppression fronts in front, forcing Guishuang to invest in heavy infantry to intercept, and then Cao Zhang used crossbows to open the way.

Although this way of playing is more dangerous, Cao Zhang's crossbow machine may hit his own people, but Cao Cao allows Cao Zhang's hit rate to fluctuate a bit, and he can cut the Guishuang front to cause turmoil, and then the shield guards attack the opponent's heavy infantry.

It doesn't matter whether you kill or not, the important thing is to break Guishuang's center line. The opponent definitely doesn't want to fight such a large-scale shield guard, so what Lao Cao did was to force the opponent to strangle the shield guard.

There was a heavy explosion, and thousands of short spears cut towards the rear of Guishuang's central formation. Ardashir's face remained unchanged. His phantom soldiers had suffered such blows, so when they were arranged before, he A certain deception was carried out, and the archer locked back.
