040 The Failure of Greek Tactics
Whoosh swish swish swish ~~~
The most prominent feature of Wikia archers is their super fast firing speed. Each of them has been an excellent hunter in the snowfield since they were young. Bows and arrows accompanied their growth. After growing up, they are qualified to become Wikia archers in the regular army after a series of training and elimination.
This name is ordinary, but in the game background world of horse riding and slashing battles, it is labeled as elite!
It is the foundation that the Kingdom of Wikia is valued!
Only the Wikia archer who shot through Yang with no effort to beat them can beat them.
However, Wikia's sharpshooter can no longer be achieved by relying solely on training. Every Wikia's sharpshooter uses a large number of lives to create his reputation.
50 Wikia archers shot out all the arrows in their arrows in just ten minutes!
Just a few dozen people actually shot out the trend of small arrow rain!
Obviously, the more than a thousand Greek militias on the opposite side did not expect the enemy's arrows to be so sharp. After hundreds of people fell, more than a thousand Greek militias collapsed before they could get close to the enemy...
The collapse was very thorough, and it was...inexplicable!
At least, in the eyes of the Elder Heraklion and the First Consul Minos, Krinos, the feat of defeating thousands of militias with dozens of archers was completely beyond their understanding of war!
When can the bow and arrow shoot so accurately and quickly?
Could it be that all those archers are warriors?!
Minos is not a savage without knowledge. He has also seen archers. The Greeks are not good at archery, but it does not mean that the ethnic groups outside the Greek world are not good at it.
In Minos' impression, it is easy to shoot bows and arrows, but it is impossible to shoot accurately for a few years of hard work and training.
The most important thing is that the construction cost of bows and arrows is too high and the construction cycle is too long!
Even the richest city-state of Athens cannot create bows and arrows in large quantities.
Furthermore, the lethality of bows and arrows on heavy infantry is not satisfactory, and this thing can be easily blocked with a shield.
However, today's scene completely refreshed Minos's understanding of bows and arrows. He even began to seriously consider whether he would spend a lot of money to build an archer unit after the victory of this battle.
The first wave of thousands of Greek militias were repelled, and the Greek light infantry who were circumventing on both sides stopped decisively.
There are no frontal friendly forces to attract the enemy, and hundreds of Greek light infantry rushing forward on both sides is no different from suicide.
Xiao Yunyang thought that after suffering a loss, the second wave of attacks should be regular troops such as Greek light infantry. After all, the courage and ability to withstand casualties of those Greek militia were too poor.
Killing more than a hundred Greek militias, Xiao Yunyang only got single-digit war souls on his personal panel...
In other words, among these more than a hundred unlucky guys, only a few people have the desire to fight in their hearts!
Obviously, this group of Greek militia did not want to participate in this war...
However, this war has been advertised as a war of survival and race in the Heraklion city-states.
It's absolutely political correctness!
Even the priest elders who were above dared not make a fuss about anti-war remarks, let alone the peasant militia at the bottom?
As a result, the second batch of Greek militias, who were also thousands of people, were suppressed.
The reason why each batch has thousands of people is that more than a thousand people can spread the entire battlefield and include the entire cross-section of Xiao Yunyang's military formation.
In addition, a large number of people can also increase the morale of these Greek militias that are not much.
The second batch of Greek militias were divided into two parts. The front row was full of new forces, and the back row was the first batch of Greek militias who were defeated.
As for cannon fodder, of course, you must have the awareness of being repeatedly used!
As expected, the second batch of Greek militia once again left hundreds of corpses and collapsed!
The 50 Wikia archers were still the ones who made contributions.
However, an embarrassing scene occurred on Xiao Yunyang's side, and the Wikia archers had no arrows!
In fact, it was already very difficult to defeat the second batch of Greek militias, and most of the arrows were recycled and reused when defeating the first batch of Greek militias!
Not all shot arrows can be recycled and reused!
The arrows used by Wikia archers are cone-headed arrows, which are very difficult to create. At least the blacksmith shop under Xiao Yunyang is not capable of creating cone-headed arrows.
Even ordinary wooden arrows were not produced in batches.
It all takes time!
As a result, when the third batch of Greek militia rushed up, the Wikia archers had to retreat after only two rounds...
When the Greek militia on the opposite side saw that the enemy had no arrows, their morale was greatly boosted. The steps that had already begun to stop and retreated were steady, and they rushed up in a mess with Greek words.
The javelin in his hand was already raised high, and he threw it out when it was approaching ten steps away!
Greek militia had not received professional javelin training and could only throw within ten steps in order to ensure hit rate.
If you are a professionally trained Greek light infantry, you can throw it within 20 steps.
If you are a powerful warrior in the city-state guard, you can also ensure a hit rate within 50 steps!
This is a very terrible concept, not less than the effective range of an ordinary hunting bow!
This is why the Greeks scoffed at bows and arrows.
After all, the bows and arrows that the Greeks could create were the level of bow hunting...
After the Wikia archer retreated, Nord's skilled light infantry immediately took several steps forward to the place where the Wikia archer stood, pulled it into a row, took out the flying axe behind him and threw it out fiercely.
Before the charge, the Greek militia was thrown out the javelin, they were smashed by two wheels of flying axes to search for their teeth. In less than a minute, nearly a hundred people fell down!
As expected, the third batch of Greek militia collapsed again...
Then, the fourth batch of Greek militias began to move forward. If this batch of Greek militias collapsed again, the remaining Greek militias would be overwhelmed.
Because all Greek militias have been defeated once on the battlefield, many Greek militias have been defeated more than once!
If it weren't for the Greek light infantry acting as a supervisory team in the back, these Greek militia would not have stepped onto the front line at all.
The level 3 Nord skilled light infantry picked up the flying axe and reclaimed it. The recycling of the flying axe is much easier than the recycling of arrows.
Shortly after the flying axe was recycled, the fourth batch of Greek militia rushed up.
However, this time they lost faster than before, because the bounty hunter and the Green Forest heroes participated in the massacre with bows and arrows.
Yes, in Xiao Yunyang's eyes, this is not a war at all!
When the fourth group of Greek militias retreated, Minos and the elders of the priests understood that the Greek tactics in the past were no longer effective...
Chapter completed!
