The vast New Delhi Peninsula is densely forested, providing countless rich war resources for Sun Lin, London and Nottingham, and the great empire on which the sun never sets, such as iron, elm, granite, etc., including the war resources that Sun Lin needs most at present - purple shirtwood.

The longbow is 6 feet (1.8 m) long, has a maximum range of 400 yards, and an effective range of 250 yards, which is twice as long as the treadmill crossbow currently equipped in Sun Lin's army and the crossbow that Sun Lin is about to improve at the quartermaster blacksmith's office, and the rate of fire is as high as 10-12 arrows per minute, and the longbowmen wearing this powerful weapon can be said to be the most wanted to be added to the team by Sun Lin at present. Of course, this is only for now, if you switch to the late Middle Ages when the musket has not yet been fully developed, compared to the longbow, Sun Lin likes the "Wang Eight Crossbows", that is, the giant shield crossbowmen, because after the transfer to the later period of the large legion battle, although the longbow may be stronger than the heavy pulley crossbow equipped with the giant shield crossbowmen in terms of range and rate of fire, but it is far inferior to this heavy pulley crossbow in terms of attack power, and in terms of equipment configuration, because the longbow soldiers are more suitable for flexible skirmisher tactics, Therefore, in terms of defensive power, it is far inferior to the giant shield crossbowmen who are good at attacking tough battles. In general, they have their own strengths, but compared to the longbow, Sun Lin prefers the ballistic weapon of the crossbow, which is closer to the more lethal, rather than the parabolic weapon of the longbow.

Speaking of longbows, the most suitable material for making this weapon is purple shirt wood, but what makes Sun Lin helpless is that although there is indeed this kind of high-grade firewood for making longbows in the dense forests of the New Delhi Peninsula, its quantity is very much so that Sun Lin wants to be mad but can't get mad, for example, if Sun Lin makes all the purple shirts in the dense forests of the New Delhi Peninsula into long bows, he can only get more than 6,000 at most, if you count the use of wear and tear, combat consumption, These longbows can only form a maximum of 2,000 longbowmen and consume 50 battles (each of which is calculated by shooting all the arrows in the two quivers, one of which can hold 30 to 40 arrows).

"Longbowmen, this is a very expensive class............ Hehehe, but for someone like me who has to worry about a gold coin for a long time, aren't all ranged troops costing money? Forget it, it's a big deal to snatch a piece of land rich in purple shirt wood from the opposite continent first, as for external expansion, are you afraid that you won't be able to expand if you have the strength? Looking at the longbowmen who were assembling outside the castle, although they were still struggling with the materials for the manufacture of weapons, Sun Lin was still very satisfied with the 240 longbowmen under the castle square.

Since the blacksmith's workshop in London has been upgraded to an armor workshop, Sun Lin also equipped the four longbowmen with all the equipment they matched, including a set of inlaid leather armor, iron shoulder armor and light chain mail inside, a pair of non-slip leather gloves, two finger guards, two quivers, and a longbow made of purple wood. In addition to the arrows, the whole set cost Sun Lin a total of 10 gold coins, and 240 longbowmen are equivalent to Sun Lin spent a total of 2,400 gold coins, according to Captain Richard's guard: "Your Excellency, the defeat of the loser to your share can be regarded as a breakthrough in tactics." ”

Of course, countless Richard's evaluations, when Sun Lin matched all these equipment on 240 longbowmen, not to mention anything else, if these longbowmen were allowed to fight against Sun Lin's half-orc foreign legion, although there was no guarantee of victory, but these longbowmen dared to guarantee in front of Sun Lin, and they would definitely be able to weaken 4 to 3 of their combat personnel with longbows before these half-orcs came up. As for cavalry warfare, it was a complete affair, and don't forget that this group of longbowmen wore a two-meter-long wooden stake with a sharpened head on their backs when they went out on the battle.

As for the hook and sickle soldiers and chain mail cavalry, they were also equipped with heavy chain mail and light chain mail under Sun Lin's bloody smash, and even in order to make these soldiers suitable for fighting in the desert, Sun Lin also specially equipped the soldiers with white linen robes to weaken the damage of the desert's poisonous sun and violent wind and sand.

"Zaraku, are your soldiers ready?" After seeing that all the troops under the castle had been assembled, Sun Lin, who was wearing heavy plate armor with the help of Leo and Richard, asked Zaraku, the commander of the Orc Foreign Legion, who had been waiting in front of the door of the room for a long time.

After 1 month of tactical training and culture shock, Zaraku is no longer the stunned young man who only knows how to lead the army forward, but has become a strong orc commander who is good at trickery. Although the commander wearing a heavy chain mail jacket and a heavy half-body iron armor during the battle, he still likes to ride a tamed wolf into the enemy line and slash everywhere with a long-handled axe in his hand, when he has learned how to use tactics such as outflanking, piercing, and rioting, and the most speechless thing is that under Sun Lin's teaching, Zalaku and his half-orc warriors all fell in love with the throwing weapon that Sun Lin gave them, the stumbling stone, and loved it to the extent that he loved it to the extent that he was crazy, whether it was in the face of heavy cavalry, hand-to-hand combat, or ranged soldiers, These weapons will be thrown within effective range before charging. And the most speechless thing is that in the many battles, the Half-Orc Foreign Legion has not only risen to 2 stars in the star rating, but also the power of throwing the Flying Stone has increased a lot, especially the hit rate has reached 7 out of 10.

"Don't worry, my master, my warriors are ready, as long as you take the troops out, I will be able to follow your instructions to divide the troops into three ways and attack the original oasis target this time." The heavily armed Zalaku knocked on the iron armor on his chest and said confidently, and even Sun Lin could feel from the eyes that appeared in the crack of his helmet that Zalaku was excited at this time, eager for the arrival of the battle.

"Very good, then you and Richard go down and lead the first detachment to set off, and the third detachment will be handed over to me and Leo."

"Huh? Your Excellency General, what do you mean by this, logically speaking, shouldn't you count the second detachment of the Middle Route Army, which has the highest combat quality in all aspects? Why do you want to choose the third detachment with the least coordination, and if you and Leo are in command of the third detachment, and Zaraku and I are in command of the first detachment, then who will command the second detachment? ”

"Who will command the second detachment? How do I know this, but I know that after this battle, either the second detachment of the most elite of our Third Route Army will be wiped out, or ............ Let's get ready for the first Terran general of the Empire on which the sun never sets in London. ”
