Because in the last war with Jun Moxie, the Condor Guard suffered a lot of losses as the main force for siege, so Ning Yuan was distressed, so he seriously considered Bai Ze and the troops he mentioned that were specially used to siege the city.

Although Ning Yuan was belligerent, he had a headache when he heard the word siege, because as long as it was a siege, there would inevitably be a lot of casualties, which was an unavoidable cruel reality from ancient times to the present.

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

As for the candidates for the siege troops, Ning Yuan selected the soldiers of the two races after thinking about it for a long time.

The first race is the Terrans.

As the most versatile race with the largest population, the Terrans can adapt to a variety of environments.

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

The second race is the ape-men.

Although the ape-people are as strong as the tigers and bears, unlike them, the ape-people are also very good at climbing.

The last time the God King Hall invaded on a large scale, Haotian City was directly attacked by the Ape Legion, so their siege ability has been verified.

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

During the Plane War, because the army could be teleported directly over, many large siege equipment could be quickly transported to the city.

But once the era of StarCraft arrived, it was difficult for those bulky siege machines to be transported to the designated location quickly, so many times, the besiegers used simple siege ladders.

The siege was originally a loss for the besieging side, and if a simple ladder was used, I am afraid that the number of casualties would have become even larger.

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

In siege warfare, when the defender of the city is condescending, they will generally use bows and arrows, falling rocks, to attack the enemy. If you encounter a little mean, you will use fire oil, gold juice or something.

These means of attack will not only bring huge casualties to the besieging side, but also seriously reduce the morale of the besieging army, so many times no one wants to fight such siege battles.

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

The besieging side successfully wiped out the height advantage of the city wall with the help of various siege equipment, and at this time, the attack methods of fire oil and gold juice were not very good, and the real competition between the enemy and us was whose hard power was stronger.

Although the defenders still have an advantage in this siege mode, this advantage has been minimized, and if they can't withstand the onslaught of the besieging side, the walls will quickly fall away.

If he had a choice, Ning Yuan would definitely be willing to choose the second way of siege, after all, no one wanted to taste the taste of gold juice and fire oil, so he was going to strengthen the siege ability of the Condor Leader from two aspects.

The first aspect is the siege machine, which is also the most important one.

The existence of siege towers, siege ladder vehicles, siege vehicles, and siege arrow towers can greatly reduce the difficulty of siege, but these siege equipment have a common disadvantage, that is, they are particularly bulky and not suitable for carrying.

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

Many things can be split freely, and if they are not usually used, then they will be directly separated, which is conducive to both storage and transportation.

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

But in ancient times, this difficulty was not ordinarily large, because in ancient times, this advanced riveting technology was not available.

But things are dead, people are alive, although there is none, but it is not something to learn.

Since these techniques involved esoteric knowledge such as structure and mechanics, Ning Yuan was destined to be impossible to study by himself, so he handed over this problem to the craftsmen of the research institute.

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

After handing over this problem to the research institute, Ning Yuan directly left it alone, and then he began to study the problem of siege soldiers with all his might, which is the second aspect.

The second aspect is to train a professional siege army.

Although the previous siege of the Condor Guard was very successful, it was mainly because there were siege towers on Ning Yuan's side, and they could attack the city through the wooden bridge.

If there were no siege towers and only ordinary ladders, then the Condor Guards would not be able to attack the city, because the armor on their bodies was so heavy that it was difficult to climb to the top of the city wall through the ladders.

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

Switching to light armor means that defense will be greatly reduced, and long-range weapons such as bows and arrows will be useful.

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

This armor set consists of a helmet and a half-body armor. The helmet was still made of iron, but it weighed much less than that of the heavy infantry, and its main purpose was to protect the soldier's head from direct shots from arrows.

The main body of the bust is made of animal skin, and a heart shield is inlaid on the chest and back to prevent the heart from being shot through by a bow and arrow.

The weapons used by Terran siege soldiers were scimitars and arm shields. Because when climbing the ladder, the siege soldiers had to hold the ladder with their hands and use their shields to fend off attacks on the walls, and they only had two hands, so they had no extra hands to hold their knives.

Considering this aspect, Ning Yuan asked the dwarven craftsmen to open a knife slot on the arm shield, and the soldiers could stick the scimitar into the arm shield when they attacked the city, and then pull out the scimitar when they climbed to the top of the city.

Because of the strength of the ape warriors, the weapons that Ning Yuan equipped them with were a shield, a mace, and a scimitar.

The mace was mainly intended against the hoplites on the city walls.

The hoplites who defend the city know who knows, if there is no weapon that can kill them, then it will be difficult for the besieging side to attack the city wall, so Ning Yuan will equip the ape warriors with a mace.

In fact, with the strength of the ape warriors, a mace is enough, and there is no need to equip them with a scimitar at all.

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

Although the blunt weapon of maces is hugely lethal, they have a fatal drawback, that is, they cannot be cut.

I think that at the beginning, when Ning Yuan used the War Ancient Tree to bind the dwarven bear cavalry of the Violent Bear Guild, the dwarven knights were trapped alive because they did not have swords on their bodies.

In this world, it is not only the roots of the ancient tree of war that can be tied to people, but also some tree vines and rope nets, so in order to avoid this situation, there is a sharp weapon on the body that can play a preventive role.
