Start a company to make games

Chapter 418 Cossack Cavalry

"Normally speaking, the ordinary soldiers at that time were very tricky."

"But now the performances here are all medieval war enthusiasts who are not short of money. Since they organize such a large-scale simulated battle, it must be impossible for them to come here in tatters."

"See that armed combat monk with a warhammer, conservatively estimated at level 99?"

"The set of chain mail on him is conservatively estimated to cost more than 20 yuan. To be honest, this kind of performance is not something anyone can afford."

"Everyone has a love of beauty, and military enthusiasts in reality know how to make handsome and sophisticated equipment."

"Then in our game, it is naturally even more impossible to be tattered."

"Even if it is a black African spearman wearing leopard leather pants, the Uncle Black stone spearman we designed must be a strong and handsome black boy."

"After all, we are a game. If we really make tattered units restored in history, then players will definitely complain when they play."

"So this performance is of great reference value. After all, the props of the arms they think are cool, the players will also think cool."

So Yuzu nodded, observed and recorded more carefully.

The rambunctious medieval brawl ends quickly, but it's a one-off show, so it's not over yet.

After the Battle of Nancy, where the death of Charles the Bold was staged, the time span suddenly spanned hundreds of years - and a large group of bearded cavalry arrived on the scene.

Yuzi pointed to the group of cavalry equipped with carbine and saber and asked Liu Xiong, "We also have that unit in our game, but I forgot what it's called."

Liu Xiong said with a smile: "Look at their appearance, tall hats with curly hair, black cloaks, rifles slung across their backs, sabers hanging from their waists, and short cavalry spears in their hands."

"This is a Cossack cavalry."

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be imitating the Cossack cavalry entering Paris and liberating France from Napoleon's rule."

Yuzu asked suspiciously: "Liberation? Isn't Napoleon the emperor of France? The Cossack cavalry entering Paris should be an invasion, right?"

Liu Xiong glanced at Yuzi and said, "Hey, Napoleon has been defeated, and the coalition forces are about to enter Paris. The people of Paris are not stupid, so they naturally want to eat pots of milk to meet the anti-French allies."

Yuzu nodded and said, "Well, that's indeed a smart choice."

After looking at it for a while, Yuzu asked, "I've heard the name of the Cossacks, but I don't know much about them. Are they the main cavalry in Russia?"

Liu Xiong said: "Although the Cossacks have the label of nomads, they are essentially small farmers. The farmers who own the land are very powerful in combat. The so-called farming warfare."

"The strongest armies in my country's Qin, Han, and Tang Dynasties were also peasant armies."

"In the era of cold weapons, Cossack cavalry attacked Europe with its fast speed, strong mobility, great lethality, and bravery. European countries often recruited Cossacks as mercenaries."

"In the game, the Cossack is also a popular unit. Not only our game, but in other games, you can see the modern cavalry of Russian countries, which are basically based on the Cossack."

"Cossacks are strong, brave, brutal and aggressive."

"It's just that Cossacks have always been a double-edged sword, fighting only for themselves. There is a novel called "Quiet River Don", which is very good."

"The protagonist Grigory joins the Red Army for a while, and falls for the White Army for a while, and jumps back and forth on both sides, which is a good illustration of the values ​​​​of the Cossacks."

"In addition, Russian Cossacks are somewhat different from Ukrainian Cossacks, although Ukraine is basically unlikely to appear in the game."

"But if Ukraine is separated from the Russian Empire, then we still have to make a little difference, so it will be more refined."

Yuzu nodded and said, "I'll check the information, right? Ukrainian Cossacks and Russian Cossacks? They're roughly the same, but there's a little difference,"

After the performance by the Cossack cavalry, Liu Xiong took Yuzi to the hotel for a night of rest.

The next day, the two took the Eurostar to a friend's private museum.

The owner of the castle threw the key to Liu Xiong, let Liu Xiong wander freely, and then set off for the auction.

So Liu Xiong took the pomelo and admired the antiques in this antique castle worth hundreds of millions.

Liu Xiong quickly found a set of uniforms representing the arms of "European Universal".

Pointing to the soldiers in the glass cabinet, Liu Xiong said: "This is the Morris infantry. In the game, starting from the Morris infantry, the European army has entered the fast lane of modernization."

"It was also from the Morris infantry that the Western European technology group began to go crazy, and gradually formed an advantage over other technology groups in the game."

Yuzu asked with interest: "Boss, then this Morris infantry is equivalent to a milestone in our game, right?"

Liu Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, between 1585 and 1625, Maurice of Nassau served as the ruler of the Netherlands."

"In order to make the small country independent from Spain, where the sun never sets, Morris devoted himself to developing the Dutch military strategy, tactics and military engineering, making the Dutch army the most modern army in Europe at that time."

"Compared to the famous Spanish phalanx, Morris' reformed infantry combat unit is a company, with 80 people in each company, and musket infantry and spearmen account for half."

"At the same time the ranks of musketeers were reduced to ten in depth, and the battle line was widened to a maximum width of 10 meters."

"The battle formation invented by Morris is called the Morris line."

"The Maurice horizontal team avoided the waste of soldiers in the Spanish infantry regiment, and its flexibility was greatly enhanced. It was the prototype of the linear battle formation in the history of military warfare."

"The so-called modern army started here."

"Morris is in power as a small country, but in fact there are not many troops, often less than 1."

"But the modern army with high morale is trained crazily, and the ancient army is crushed. It is almost invincible and invincible. It has captured many Dutch cities from Spain."

"And when faced with a superior number of the Spanish main force, Morris would order his field engineers to build strong fortifications and hold their positions, making the Spanish army helpless."

Liu Xiong introduced the Morris infantry, and then added: "In the game, Ottoman's troops are actually very powerful in the early stage."

"But it was almost as soon as the Morris infantry started, and the Western European armies gained the upper hand."

……

In a friend's private museum, Liu Xiong and Youzi spent a whole day shopping, and at night they rested together in the castle.
