Online Game: Barbarism And Civilization

Chapter 320: Improving Research

Because in the last war with Jun Moxie, the Shenying Guard lost a lot as the main force of the siege, so Ning Yuan was distressed, so he seriously considered Baize Lion and the units he mentioned specifically for siege.

Although Ning Yuan was warlike, he had a headache when he heard the word siege, because as long as it was siege, there would inevitably be a lot of casualties. This has been an unavoidable cruel reality since ancient times.

Although he has two flying arms, the Battle Angel Legion and the Vampire Legion, once the enemy is ready, the role these two arms can play is very limited, so it is imperative to train a group of professional siege units. .

Ning Yuan chose soldiers of two races after considering for a long time.

The first race is the human race.

As the most versatile race with the largest population, Terrans can adapt to various environments.

And as the race with the largest number of soldiers under Ning Yuan, they will definitely encounter various siege wars in the future, so it is necessary to train their siege ability.

The second race is the ape-man tribe.

Although the ape-men are as strong as the tigers and bears, they are different from them in that the ape-men are also very good at climbing.

When the Palace of the Gods invaded, Haotian City was directly attacked by the Ape Man Legion, so their siege ability has been verified.

When it comes to siege, people first think of all kinds of siege equipment, such as ladders, siege towers, siege vehicles, and so on.

During the war on the plane, because the army can be directly transmitted, many large-scale siege equipment can be quickly transported to the city.

But once the era of planetary hegemony arrives, those heavy siege equipment will be difficult to quickly transport to the designated location, so in many cases, the siege party uses simple siege ladders.

The siege war originally meant that the siege party suffered a lot. If the simple ladder were used again, the number of casualties would become even greater.

So at this time, if there is an army that is good at siege, then the number of casualties can drop a lot.

In a siege war, when the defender is condescending, he usually uses bows and arrows, falling rocks, and attacking the enemy. If you encounter something despicable, you will use kerosene, gold juice or something.

These methods of attack will not only bring huge casualties to the siege party, but also seriously reduce the morale of the siege army, so in many cases no one is willing to fight such a siege.

Another siege mode is the more advanced siege method that Ning Yuan used to deal with Jun Moxie before.

The siege party successfully smoothed out the high advantage of the city wall with the help of various siege equipment. At this time, the attack methods such as kerosene and gold juice were not very effective. The real competition between the enemy and the enemy is who has the stronger hard power.

Although this siege mode still holds the advantage for the defender, this advantage has been reduced to the lowest level. If the attacker’s onslaught cannot be resisted, the city wall will be quickly lost.

If you can choose, Ning Yuan is definitely willing to choose the second way of siege. After all, no one wants to taste the taste of gold juice and fire oil, so next he plans to strengthen the siege ability of the condor collar from two aspects.

The first aspect is to start with the siege equipment, which is also the most important aspect.

The existence of siege towers, siege trucks, siege trucks, and siege arrow towers can greatly reduce the difficulty of siege, but these siege equipment have a common disadvantage, that is, they are particularly heavy and unsuitable to carry.

As a modern person, Ning Yuan knows that there is a method called assembling.

Many things can be disassembled freely. If they are not used normally, they will be disassembled directly, which is good for storage and transportation.

In modern times, this technology is very mature, let alone a siege vehicle, even if it is a high tower, people can say that it will be split and split for you.

But in ancient times, this difficulty was not as big as usual, because in ancient times, such advanced riveting technology was not available.

But things are dead and people are alive. Although they don’t, they can still learn.

Since these technologies involve profound knowledge such as structure and mechanics, Ning Yuan was destined to be unable to study it himself, so he handed this problem to the craftsmen of the research institute.

The task assigned to them by Ning Yuan was to transform all the siege equipment into a state that could be freely disassembled, and must also be sturdy and durable, and ordinary soldiers could assemble it freely.

After handing over this problem to the research institute, Ning Yuan directly let go, and then he began to study the problem of the siege soldiers, which is the second aspect.

The second aspect is to train a professional siege unit.

Although the previous siege of the Shenying Guard was very successful, it was mainly because there was a siege tower on the side of Ningyuan, and they could go through the wooden bridge to attack the city.

If there were no siege towers and only ordinary ladders, then Condor Guards would not be able to attack the city, because their armors were so heavy that it would be difficult to climb onto the walls through the ladders.

Therefore, these professional siege units can no longer be heavy armored soldiers.

Changing into light armor means that the defense power will be greatly reduced, and long-range weapons such as bows and arrows will be useful.

In order to protect the life safety of the siege soldiers as much as possible, Ning Yuan designed a new set of armor for them.

This armor includes a helmet and half body armor. The helmet is still made of iron, but the weight is much lighter than that of a heavy armored infantry. Its main function is to protect the soldier’s head from being directly shot by a bow and arrow.

The main body of the half-body armor is made of animal skins, and a pair of protective mirrors are inlaid on the front chest and back to prevent the heart from being directly shot through by the bow and arrow.

The weapons used by Terran Siege Soldiers are scimitars and arm shields. When climbing the ladder, the siege soldiers had to hold the ladder with their hands and use their shields to resist the attack on the city wall. They only had two hands, so there was no extra hand to take the knife.

Considering this aspect, Ning Yuan asked the dwarf craftsman to make a slot in the arm shield. Soldiers can insert the scimitar on the arm shield when attacking the city, and then pull out the scimitar when they climb to the top of the city.

The ape-man warriors were so strong that Ning Yuan equipped them with a shield, a mace, and a scimitar.

The mace was mainly prepared to deal with the heavy infantry on the wall.

The heavy infantry defending the city knows who will use it. If there is no weapon that can kill them, it will be difficult for the siege party to attack the city wall, so Ning Yuan will equip the ape-man warriors with a mace.

In fact, given the ape-man warrior’s physical strength, a mace is enough, and there is no need to equip them with a scimitar.

The reason why Ning Yuan would equip them with a scimitar was entirely just in case.

Although blunt tools like mace have great lethality, they have a fatal flaw, that is, they cannot cut.

When Ning Yuan used the ancient war tree to bind the dwarf bear cavalry of the Grim Bear Guild, the dwarf knights were trapped alive because they had no swords on them.

In this world, the only thing that can bind people is not only the roots of ancient war trees, but also some tree vines and rope nets. Therefore, in order to avoid this from happening, a sharp weapon can play a preventive role.
