Chapter 57 Team
Early the next morning, Shen Yi started to deal with the troops. Caix-on:红文¥学%网m
After becoming the commander, Shen Yi can not only have a troop with a number of less than 1,000 people, but also can promote the original troop to a personal guard.
The upper limit of the number of sī person guards does not exceed one hundred, and they can be recruited or recruited, regardless of the type of arms.
Now Shen Yi still has 5,000 faction honor points in his hands, of which 2,000 points are left over after he became the commander, and 3,000 points are the reward for killing Alsace.
Since killing Alsace is not a faction task, there is no reward for it. Participants can only get benefits from the dead. However, since Shen Yi has become the leader and has the authority to issue tasks, he can make up such a task for himself.
Of course, this is also related to the decline of urban control.
Since the orc camp's general favor towards Shen Yi has risen, they all believe that some rewards should be added for Shen Yi who killed the Lich King. This practice of getting on the bus first and paying for the fare would never have existed before, but with the change of the mission world by the girl in white, the increase in P's autonomy has actually made Shen Yi a success.
Chen Yuntao worked hard, but the task of the Flame Lord was still far away, so Shen Yi first took the opportunity to make a fortune.
Five thousand points of honor are enough for Shen Yi to recruit enough powerful soldiers.
Due to the battle at the outpost, eight of Shen Yi's troops were killed, and there are currently 70 left. Shen Yi simply took out blood points and added ten elite tauren fighters, five elite shamans, and five elite Witch doctor, five elite soul walkers, five elite Kodo cavalry.
These elite units are far stronger than ordinary soldiers in terms of attack, defense, ability and life.
For example, an elite tauren warrior has 2500 points of vitality, 100 points of strength coefficient, giant wood weapon, increased strength damage by 120%, attack distance of 2 meters, defense of 40, smashing attack damage of 120 points, compared with ordinary tauren soldiers It is more than several times stronger, even stronger than some captains.
Of course, the recruitment price is also ridiculously expensive. It actually requires a full 400 points of faction honor, which is equivalent to 2,000 blood points, which is ten times the price of ordinary tauren fighters. Some adventurers have struggled so far, but they can only recruit two or three such tauren.
But even if it was ten times the price, Shen Yi would still want it.
It would be a waste for these elite tauren fighters to fight. It is better to recruit ordinary tauren, ten are stronger than one, but if you want to take Hyjal Castle, you have to rely on the strength of elite soldiers.
Thirty elite soldiers paid a lot of money, and almost exactly honored Shen Yi's 5,000 faction. This was because Shen Yi's guards still had 30 recruiting places, and they gave him a 10% discount.
Shen Yi finally understood why other commanders had a limit of one hundred elites, but in the end they only had twenty or thirty elite followers. It turned out that these guys were really expensive.
Then Shen Yi transferred the original orc soldier Lark to be the captain of the guard—although this guy's strength is mediocre, he excels in his quick mind, and he is considered a rare smart person among orcs. The establishment of the guard is considered complete.
Since some adventurers voluntarily become his captains, he no longer needs to worry about recruiting a thousand ordinary soldiers. Shen Yi only needs to choose ten captains, and the soldiers will be taken care of by the captains themselves, of course. Because of this, their soldiers took up Shen Yi's recruitment quota. From this point of view, Shen Yi asked the adventurers to give compensation, but it was not without giving.
Among the ten captains, except Wenrou and Fatty each occupying one spot, the other eight sold six to adventurers, including three from the Buffalo team, namely Chu Sheng, Guo Falong and Liu Fei, of which Chu Sheng is also the first deputy commander position——this position was strongly demanded by him, and he absolutely did not accept that he was under the fat man.
The other three were sold to Xiaodao and two other adventurers, one named Ding Xuyang and the other named Ling Ao, both of whom were not weak adventurers.
The two positions of deputy commanders are held by Chu Sheng and Fatty concurrently. Since the deputy commanders are not formally in charge, they can only serve concurrently. Therefore, they are also called the first captain and the second captain. During the commander's absence, the entire Thousand Squadron was operated by the deputy commander.
In the process of creating the team, Chu Sheng's performance was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. All the 100 soldiers under his command were all tauren. It can be seen that he has earned a lot of faction honors during this period.
As for the fat man, his troops are all catapults. Since each catapult requires the hard work of five orcs, these catapults are all his property. However, compared to the game, the attack power of these catapults is much stronger.
Hong làng, Jiang Chao, Di An and others all appeared as ordinary soldiers—teamwork is good, there is no need for everyone to be an official, as long as one or two of them are enough, other people can exchange honors for various treasures , to enhance one's own strength.
Shen Yi did not sell the remaining two captain spots, but directly recruited two orc teams.
The reason for this is mainly to ensure that the right to speak is not lost. If all captain positions are sold, it is very likely that adventurers will unite and make Shen Yi empty.
Selling officials to the point of selling oneself is absolutely unacceptable.
Now with Gentle, Fatty, and two absolutely loyal orc captains, Shen Yi can basically control the situation, even if he is not around, no one will dominate.
Next, there is some training and cooperation.
To be honest, no one is good at this. The adventurers have some experience in playing games, and they also know the principle of formation and the mutual generation and restraint of arms, but they are all on paper. If you really want to get it on the table, the knowledge in those books is not enough.
Even Shen Yi is not good at this aspect, he can command with fewer people, this is the first time for him to command a scene with thousands of people, and the feeling is completely different from when he commanded more than 70 people before.
Although he has also experienced battles like those in the market garden, hot wars are obviously different from cold weapon battles, and battles in World of Warcraft, and even ordinary cold weapon battles are different-there is no such thing as a cold weapon war in the past. A few meters, a soldier who can use magic.
Even if those famous generals in history came over and saw these soldiers, they would have to be blinded.
On the large field outside the orc camp, a thousand soldiers are currently being divided into two camps, doing battlefield exercises, and the captains personally go into battle to command.
The effect, however, was a mess.
Groups of soldiers rushed into a group, all kinds of magic abilities were released, and the captains shouted hoarsely and gave various orders. Not to mention that the soldiers couldn't understand at all, and even some captains themselves didn't know the meaning of their orders.
Some troll hunters who were supposed to be in the rear unexpectedly came to the front line for some reason, while most of the tauren warriors and orc infantry who should have been used to supplement the front line force fell behind.
This is not bad, but the terrible thing is that the spell is released in one pass.
Due to the lack of command, often a group of witch doctors' healing bāngs are often unified in one place, but there are no healing bāngs in other positions, or a group of Kodo beasts gather together and beat the drums loudly, while the wolf cavalry Release more than 30 nets at a certain unlucky adventurer at the same time, and pin him to the ground...
And that's not the worst.
When the battle únlàn reaches a certain level, it is often the soul walkers of one team here just hang the soul chains on their soldiers, and then the shaman of the other team releases the purification. Immediately after the shaman released the bloodthirsty technique, the soul walker released another exorcist...
However, this is still not the worst.
The worst thing is that even the adventurers themselves are killed.
When the battle came to a head, Chu Sheng commanded his troops to charge directly, shouting desperately, "Follow me!"
A meteor hammer knocked down the soldiers in front, rushed into the "enemy" formation with an unstoppable momentum, and then found that his troops hadn't followed at all, followed by a round of attack from the "enemy army", and then took charge not far away The soldiers who tested had raised their flags and declared him dead.
Chu Sheng was so angry that he cursed, "I'm not dead! Do you think I'm so tender?"
Fortunately, at the next moment, Shen Yi's guard soldiers, two elite tauren fighters personally picked this guy out.
Seeing the noisy scene in the field, Shen Yi couldn't help but patted his forehead, "It's really horrible!"
With a style of play like this, when it comes to the battlefield, just a few hundred people can wipe out everyone.
Shen Yi waved helplessly, "Larke, go and call Ikabo and Kelis over."
Ikabo and Kellys are the two orc captains, one is an elite orc infantryman and the other is an elite troll hunter.
Hearing Shen Yi's summons at this moment, the two ran over and saluted Shen Yi, "My lord, do you have any orders?"
"I wanted to ask how you guys used to fight wars. I mean, is something like this common to you guys?"
Ichabo looked at the battlefield, and replied "Almost, but it should be better than them. They seem too crowded."
"Then how do you usually command?"
Kelis immediately replied, "Let them charge, my lord, and spread out the formation so that this situation won't happen."
"You mean to tell them to charge when you command the battle?"
"Of course, what else could there be?" Ichabo and Kelis replied in unison.
"What about the other factions?"
"Maybe better than us, but not by much. We are orcs, and we use our strong bodies to break through the opponent's defense line, not a formation."
Shen Yi was completely convinced.
He already understood what the problem was.
Real war is not a game after all, and the more complicated the command, the better. Complexity means difficulty in execution, and for simple-minded orcs, once a thing is too complicated, they are often at a loss, and the effect is sometimes counterproductive.
This is the situation in front of us. Each of the adventurers from the city wants to show off the formation and combat knowledge they have learned from the game, but they obviously ignore the ability of soldiers of this era to receive and understand information, and even more from Not trained in this area.
Soldiers are not game characters, they will not move and fight according to your imagination when you swipe and drag the mouse.
Soldiers are simple-minded, but adventurer commanders are still self-righteous. The result is poor command meets simple-minded soldiers who can't fight even the simplest of battles.
From the mouths of Ikabo and Kelis, I know that basically the orc troops fight in units of squads, and the orders from the commander are usually the simplest and easiest to understand and execute, such as waiting, charging, gathering, and retreating.
As for the formation and tactics, they don't understand at all. Courage and faith are the only support and bond for them to fight.
It can be said that the cards in Shen Yi's hand are very big, with kings, 2s, and aces, but neither a pair nor a Jackie Chan, nor a bomb. How to make good use of this deck is really exciting. I have a terrible headache.
Perhaps, as Ikabo and the others said, it would be better to give up command and let them charge freely.
But in this way, it is equivalent to pinning the victory of the war on how stupid the opponent is rather than how strong he is. Shen Yi never likes this kind of thing.
The problem is to train a team to be a strong soldier with a measure of advance and retreat within three days, even a talented general can't do it, let alone at present, including Shen Yi, there is not even a basic qualified commander.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi felt dizzy. He waved his hand, "The exercise is over, tell those idiots to come over for a meeting."
The captains withdrew from the battlefield one after another and came to Shen Yi's side. They obviously knew that this exercise was very bad, so they were all downcast.
Shen Yi said with a livid face, "This is the worst exercise I have ever seen. To be honest, you succeeded, and we almost made ourselves famous in history as the worst army in history."
Xiaodao replied, "Hey, boss, we can't blame us for this matter, it's all because of Chu Sheng, that stupid idiot làn, he left all his soldiers behind."
Chu Sheng immediately replied, "Go away! Is it for you to teach me a lesson? You commanded well. Four shamans put a lightning shield on one person. Do you think I didn't see it?"
Xiaodao immediately replied, "Can you blame me? I ordered to release the lightning shield on the target in front. Who knew those shamans would attack together?"
"That's because you didn't specify who should release it."
"How could I give such an order? I still haven't remembered the names of those shamans. Besides, do you think this is writing a novel? Every word can be weighed? This is a fucking battlefield, changing rapidly, It’s impossible for me to choose the words carefully when I give an order, right? Of course I yelled it casually!”
"Then you'd better think about it next time." Chu Sheng laughed and said, "Also, if you dare to call yourself Lao Tzu to me again, I will strip you off."
"Fart, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Xiao Dao spat on the ground, "So what about the deputy commander? He doesn't even know how to command, he's just a stupid cow."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Chu Sheng's eyes widened. A group of Bulls were angry at the same time, and they were about to attack Xiao Dao. Unexpectedly, Ding Xuyang and Ling Ao stood up at the same time and joined the Xiao Dao team. It looks like the trio have formed a small team alliance.
People are like this, no matter where they are, they will be divided into relatives and estrangements, such things as small gangs and small groups, even the peerless geniuses can't stop it.
"Enough!" Shen Yi shouted, "You are not asked to come to the meeting to quarrel. Infighting... What do you want to do? Can you take advantage of it for the enemy? Or are you going to stab your own people on the battlefield?"
This is a big crime, and both sides shut up at the same time.
Shen Yi glanced at everyone, and then said, "This drill itself is to find problems, and find a way to solve them if you find them. There is nothing to argue about. Now who will talk about the problems you see first?"
Rourou immediately said, "Let me tell. In fact, although the orc soldiers are simple-minded, they are still very serious about carrying out orders. It's just that we commanders are indeed too inexperienced. In addition, we also lack a good Command transmission system, lack of precise passwords, lack of cooperation, lack of good command awareness... Some people don't have awareness, and some people think too much."
"Indeed." Everyone laughed.
"In addition..." Gentle added, "The problem is not only with the commander, the soldiers also have problems. I'm not talking about the orc soldiers, but the adventurer soldiers. There are always some people who are in the position of soldiers but don't regard themselves as ordinary As a soldier, some people don't even accept orders, and just ignore the orders of their superiors. There are not many such people, such as... Hong làng."
Hong làng shrugged.
This guy fights as a soldier in a gentle team, but he only cares about killing himself in battle, and he doesn't care about obeying the commander's orders, not to mention that the commander is his team member, which is really lacking for him. Some prestige. If Shen Yi personally gave the order, he would most likely listen to it. Of course, it's hard to say how well it was carried out.
In fact, there are not a few adventurers and soldiers like Hong làng, including Di An, Jiang Chao, and Zheng Lan from the Buffalo team, but they just had a quarrel, and gentleness is not suitable to talk about them... Besides, they also have reasons, Their boss only cared about killing himself, and didn't give them any orders at all.
In any case, this is a únlàn from beginning to end, whether it is soldiers or grassroots commanders, they are all unconscious, unconscious, conscious and inexperienced, and they are not convinced by each other. If you want to command such a team It is better to command an ordinary orc army than to command an army.
Shen Yi's army is very strong, but it's a pity that 1 plus 1 is not greater than 2, but less than 1.
Regarding this, Shen Yi said lightly, "If there is a problem, we have to find a way to solve it. Chu Sheng, Hong làng, regarding the matter of charging without authorization, next time, each of them will hit 50 boards."
There is nothing to be afraid of adventurers such as spanking, but people have to save face, and it is definitely not an honor to be spanked in full view, so Hong làng Chusheng and others nodded together. In fact, they also know that they have done a bad job, but they just insist on not admitting it.
Shen Yi continued, "All problems, in the final analysis, are actually the problems of the commander and the soldiers. Orc soldiers can't accept too complicated instructions, and our commander is indeed inexperienced...Zeus, maybe you can help me with this matter." I'll figure it out."
Zeus replied, "I can make a simple simulation program. In the program, our control over the troops will be reduced to the simplest few instructions such as assembly, waiting, charge, etc., and then you will do computer simulation exercises, which will be better than going through the battlefield. Drills are much more efficient ... you can do dozens of them in a day."
"Then the commander problem will no longer be a problem. By the way, remember to add the order system restrictions. When the commander's language is unclear, his troops will therefore have wrong execution. This will help them simplify their orders. "
Gentle ā mouth "can establish a professional military language, which is more direct and effective."
"It's a good idea, but the soldiers will have to worry more about accepting it." Xiaodao said immediately, he gave himself an order to go on, and several shamans throwing lightning shields at the same time làng wasting mana is still annoying.
"So keep it as simple as possible." Gentle answer.
Shen Yi said, "Another problem is the control of spells. Since there are no soldiers who can use magic in the history of the earth, we can't find any experience that can be used for reference. Everyone can only rely on themselves."
At this time, the fat man suddenly said, "I have a solution to this problem."
"any solution?"
Fatty replied, "Spell únlàn is mainly due to the fact that there are too many unitary units among the teams. In previous wars, everyone paid attention to formation. The more unitary the units, the more convenient the formation. But we don't care about the formation now. Why? Why don't you just put all mages into each team? In this way, there will be no problem of spell concentration cost. For example, a team only needs three to five witch doctors, and the witch doctors take turns to release Healing bāng, there will be no such thing as one area full of healing bāngs and another area with nothing.”
Everyone looked at each other.
The method Fatty said is simple and effective, but in this way, everyone's troops will have to be mobilized with each other. For example, if Chu Sheng had a hundred tauren warriors, basically he would have to take out at least fifteen of them in exchange for the witch doctor, shaman and soul priest he needed.
In addition, the fat man's catapult troops are the same.
For them, this kind of exchange is undoubtedly very disadvantageous.
Shen Yi looked at Chu Sheng, "What do you say?"
Chu Sheng scratched his scalp, and finally said unwillingly after a while, "Change!"
Xiaodao snorted angrily, "I will make you up."
Chu Sheng immediately grinned loudly.
