Chapter 104 How to Use Orcs

Orcs are strong in combat not only because of their robust physique, but also because of the special environment in which they live.

In fact, there have been similar examples on Earth: when barbarian tribes with harsh living conditions attacked civilized countries, the individual combat effectiveness of civilized countries, once the differences in equipment were eliminated, were really unable to compete with those barbarians.

Luo Yi glanced at the orc warriors around him.

Luo Yi had a good impression of the former steel horn, after all he was the first orc to surrender to Luo Yi.

Moreover, the former Gang Jiao would rather be killed openly than attack Luo Yi and then be killed - because Gang Jiao follows the moral standard of not attacking the master after surrendering - this at least proves that Gang Jiao's character is very simple.

He loves the house and loves Wu, so Luo Yi believes that the Gangjiao. Mad Cow clan is sincerely surrendering.

So, how to use the orcs of the Steel Horn clan well?
Looking at the strong physique of the orcs, Luo Yi couldn't help but think of the word hoplites—heavy cavalry is fine, but with the size of orcs, only the strongest horses can bear their weight—even if Luo Yi doesn't care about the cost It will not take a while to get enough excellent war horses to make the orcs proficient in riding.

Hoplites, as the name suggests, are infantry equipped with heavy armor.

In ancient times, there were many particularly famous heavy infantry, such as the Wei Wuzu who "fighted 72 times, won 64, and the rest were all solved" in the Spring and Autumn Period; For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the Modao team of "the strong men hold it, and those who spin and cut with waist strength are all fans".In addition, there were also very famous Greek heavy infantry in foreign countries in ancient times, as well as the Macedonian phalanx that flourished on the basis of Greek heavy infantry.

These heavy infantry have a common selection standard, that is, soldiers must be tall and strong, otherwise they cannot bear the exaggerated equipment weight.

From this point of view, orc soldiers are an excellent source of soldiers for heavy infantry.

However, there was one problem that Luo Yi could not solve, that is, heavy infantry usually formed a tight formation and cooperated closely with each other.The combat method that the orc soldiers are accustomed to is light infantry-style single combat.

The orc world did not develop heavy infantry, which is probably related to the lack of armor with strong defense in the orc world.

Without armor and shields with strong defensive power, it is meaningless to form a dense formation to fight.

If there is no armor with strong defense, long-range attack weapons such as bows and arrows, javelins, and even throwing stones can easily achieve results.Even in close combat, without armor and shields but in a dense formation, soldiers must bear the psychological pressure of being unable to defend and hide because there is no room to dodge and move when fighting hand-to-hand.

It can be said that excellent armor is the basis for the emergence of hoplites.

Since the orcs have always fought in the light infantry mode, it would take a long time for Luo Yi to use the orc soldiers as heavy infantry.

In fact, it is probably more difficult to train orcs to become heavy infantry than to train slaves who have never touched weapons.Because the orcs had been trained as light infantry since they were young, some fighting habits had been deeply rooted in their bones, almost becoming instinctive.Let the orcs change to the heavy infantry combat method, how could they get used to it in a short time?

Luo Yi thought about it carefully, and felt that there was no need for the orcs to line up and fight as hoplites.

Luo Yi's enemies currently don't have strong cavalry, so why are they so neatly arranged?
To deal with the orcs, the orcs wearing Milan armor can have an absolute advantage.Still have to arrange a neat and uniform formation, does the picture look good?

After making up his mind, Luo Yi decided to get more soldiers as soon as possible.

The Gangjiao clan originally only had more than 70 fighters, but now there are only more than [-] people.Such a small number of people is not enough.

Imagine how comfortable Luo Yi would be if there were hundreds or thousands of orc soldiers wearing Milanese armor under his command in the future?
At that time, he would no longer have to charge the front line himself, but just sit quietly in the front line and pretend to be aggressive.

When the scale of the battle was small, the flag officer waved the banner of the Chinese army and ordered the whole army to charge, so the momentum was overwhelming.

When the scale of the battle is large, the flag officer will rush to convey the order to each unit after receiving the order, and then each unit will enter the battlefield in order according to the order.

This is what the King of Kings should do!
...It's a pity that there is no such condition right now, and Luo Yi still has to personally handle everything big and small.

Luo Yi sighed and comforted himself: Only by suffering and suffering can one become a master.Work harder recently, stop when you catch enough orcs, and be a lord with all your duties, and never do this kind of hard work again.

Thinking of this, Luo Yi summoned a flying saucer and airborne some supplies in this manor.

The light cavalry still sang the praises of the extra divine grace as excitedly as last time, while the orcs' reaction was particularly fierce.They were at first stupefied with shock, and then became zealous in their piety.The orcs knelt on the ground and yelled and wailed, their crazy performance was almost like crazy.

Luo Yi walked over and found that among the many orcs, only Steel Horn made no sound.He prostrated himself on the ground, his shoulders shaking, and all his fingers dug into the soil.

Luo Yi said to Gang Jiao: "Gang Jiao, you can take whatever you want to eat, just don't waste it. I'll get you some better weapons in a few days. Before changing clothes, you can stay in this manor. Don't waste it." Just cause trouble.”

Gang Jiao raised his head, and Luo Yi found that his face was full of tears, his expression was full of sadness instead of the ecstasy that Luo Yi thought.

The steel horn choked with sobs and whispered to himself: "When God gains extra joy, he will bestow extra grace...Father, you chose to submit to the King of Kings. This choice makes God extra happy...You did nothing wrong!"

Gangjiao tried his best to control the volume and howled in a low voice: "You did nothing wrong! Father...you did nothing wrong!..."

Luo Yi was a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect to be able to resolve the death wish of his predecessor Gangjiao through extra divine grace.

Looking at Xiao Gangjiao who was in grief, Luo Yi wanted to comfort Xiao Gangjiao, "Maybe God is extra happy because your father chose to die", but thinking about it carefully, this is not what people said!

So Luo Yi had no choice but to show an awkward yet polite smile.It's a pity that Xiao Gangjiao had already lowered his head and wept bitterly, causing Luo Yi to force a smile in vain.

Luo Yi got on the flying saucer as if fleeing, and then landed in the previous manor.

Zhao Gaoxin and the other five watched Luo Yi fall from the sky in astonishment.

Guan Yajun asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, why did you come back alone? Where are the cavalry?"

Judging from Guan Yajun's tone, it seemed that he was worried that Luo Yi would run away alone after losing the battle.

Luo Yi didn't want to talk to this guy with EQ problems, so he asked the Earth Five: "I distributed the land of the last manor, do you all remember?"

Zhao Gaoxin and others nodded seriously.

Luo Yi said: "I just occupied another manor, who is willing to preside over the work of that manor?"

Zhao Gaoxin rushed to speak.

"I would like to go."

Luo Yi thought for a while, then shook his head.

"You have more important tasks. Who else?"

Guan Yajun signed up.

"I!"

"Well, when you arrive at the newly occupied manor, declare in my name: all slaves are granted freeman status; each adult male is divided into one hectare of land; the real estate value tax and the real estate shield tax are explained in detail .”

After he finished speaking, Luo Yi thought for a while, and he seemed to have one more thing to say.
