Daming: Insist on 60 billion explosive soldiers unwaveringly

However, Zhu Youchen temporarily chose no.

"The system will not be updated synchronously for the time being."

Zhu Youchen considered the pros and cons in an instant. It would be cool to upgrade immediately, but it would bring endless hidden dangers.

It is daytime now, if the town center is upgraded simultaneously, no one will be able to hide this news at all.

It is tantamount to putting his town center in the sight of everyone and exposing his hole cards.

[Ding, the automatic synchronization upgrade is cancelled, the host can upgrade manually later. 】

Zhu Youchen couldn't wait to click on the icon of the town center on the system after hearing the words, and looked over with wide eyes.

Building Name: Town Center

Rating: 10

Health: 8000

Defense value: 800

Upgrade requirements: 60 farmers (404000/600000)

Producible: Farmer (Requires: 50 food)

Buildable: Arrow Tower, Shooting Range

Arrow tower: a defensive building that can shoot powerful crossbow arrows and bring huge damage to the enemy.

Shooting Range: Can train ranged units.

Seeing this, Zhu Youchen's body trembled, the pupils in his eyes dilated suddenly, and immediately the whole face showed an uncontrollable ecstasy.

"A shooting range? There's even a shooting range. I have a shooting range!!!"

Zhu Youchen knew about the appearance of the arrow tower when he saw the upgraded town center, but he didn't expect that there would be a shooting range.

Shooting range!

Having a shooting range means that Zhu Youchen can train archers, this kind of long-range strike arms.

Zhu Youchen has always only had barracks, and the only ones who can explode soldiers are spearmen and swordsmen.

Although these two kinds of soldiers are powerful, they are too single, and they can crush weak enemies with their numerical advantages.

But once you encounter a powerful enemy, a single shortcoming is a fatal flaw.

At this moment, the appearance of the shooting range not only allowed him to have a different type of arms, but also allowed him to have corresponding long-range units.

Ranged strike.

"With archers and an army of spearmen, it is easier to attack from a distance and defend from a distance."

If Zhu Youzhe had hesitated before attacking the Manila port, at this moment Zhu Youzhe had no hesitation at all.

"Attack Manila and completely take Luzon."

Before, Zhu Youchen was just concerned about the large number of musketeers in Manila, so it would not be worthwhile to smash Manila.

However, as long as there are archers, he and Manila City's long-range strength has been evened out.

Build a shooting range.

Build a shooting range now.

Just do it, Zhu Youchen clicked on the virtual map of the system without hesitation, chose to build a shooting range next to the barracks.

"The system builds a shooting range."

[Ding, do you want to spend three thousand gold to build a shooting range? 】

"Yes."

Zhu Youchen agreed to build it without frowning. The three thousand gold was three times more expensive than the one thousand gold in the barracks.

But this also reflects the value of archers above pawns.

Reality is not a game, and archers are always technical arms.

Although the popularity of muskets now makes archers look a bit useless, it is because of the training cost and time of archers.

Musketeers are fast, and musketeers still have strong damage to enemies wearing armor, so musketeers gradually eliminated archers...  

But that doesn't mean that archers are completely useless.

Musketeers are strong, but they haven't opened up their absolute advantage with bows and arrows. Archers in this era still occupy a very important position at this moment.

At least the time to open a bow and shoot an arrow is still much faster than to fire a musket.

Under normal circumstances, it takes three rounds for the bow and arrow to fire a musket for one round.

Even though muskets can shoot in turn, how many rows of musketeers can stand on such a large place on the city wall?

Unable to do continuous shooting.

And here is Asia, not Europe, and there are huge crowds of people when fighting.

When it’s time to face such a scene before the battle, whoever has no fear in his heart can always reload bullets in an orderly manner for a moment.

But archers are not so troublesome, they just need to draw arrows and shoot.

The most important thing is that archers can projectile, they can bypass the crenels of the city wall with bows and arrows, and directly cover the city wall to attack the enemy, but muskets cannot do this at all.

Although the two have their own advantages and disadvantages, the archer can shine in the hands of Zhu Youchen.

"I can mass-produce archers in a short period of time, which directly solves the problem of long training time for archers, and can produce an absolute number of archers in a short period of time."

The most important point is that the soldiers produced by his system always bring their own weapons when they go out, which saves him a large part of the cost of making bows and arrows.

Qualified bows are also a major factor in the elimination of bows and arrows from muskets. Compared with muskets that can be mass-produced, bows are prohibitively expensive both in terms of production time and cost.

However, the cost of producing archers at the shooting range directly includes all this.

As soon as the words fell, a large piece of foundation suddenly rose up in the open area beside the barracks in the city, covering an area of ​​[-] square meters.

Seeing this, Zhu Youchen directly ordered in his mind to the 500 farmers who had just given birth: "Leave [-] people to speed up the construction of the shooting range, and the rest will all build houses."

With so many people newly added, housing needs to be increased.

It's just that Zhu Youchen doesn't lack wood at all. With so many people doing it, the house can be built soon.

Immediately, the whole port city of Brunei began to hustle and bustle, but Zhu Youchen strode directly to the location of the shooting range.

As soon as the shooting range is established, he intends to produce archers immediately.

The shooting range represents his sea of ​​bows and arrows in the future, the real sea of ​​arrows! .

Chapter 78

Soon, under the accelerated construction of five hundred farmers, the shooting range rose directly from the ground.

The shooting range is a stone-wood building, as wide as an enlarged courtyard, and wooden round targets are hung on the surrounding walls.

And in the empty field, there are countless human-shaped wooden targets erected, which makes people feel a sense of oppression and suffocation.

As soon as Zhu Youchen approached, he felt an extremely strong sense of chill, which made his scalp tense.

sharp.

sharp.

Like a thorn back!

However, there was a flash of joy in Zhu Youchen's eyes. Just relying on this feeling, the trained archers would not be bad.

At the moment, Zhu Youchen's consciousness was directly immersed in the system, his gaze was fixed on the icon of the shooting range, and he ordered to the system in his mind: "System, open the training list of the shooting range."

[Ding, the training list has been opened. 】

Zhu Youchen immediately looked at it intently, and was instantly attracted by the two small icons below the shooting range.

【Training: Infantry Archer (Price: 25 wood, 45 gold) Brief introduction: Fast and lightly armed troops, weak in melee combat; long-range is very advantageous. 】

[Training 26: Spear Throwing Warrior (Price: 25 Food, 35 Wood) Introduction: Long-distance attacking troops, equipped with shields, can effectively tear apart the enemy's formation. 】

A look of surprise flashed in Zhu Youchen's eyes.

did not expect.

Really didn't expect it.

In addition to the expected infantry archers, there were also spear-throwing fighters in the shooting range, which was really a surprise.

Surprise!

real surprise.

Zhu Youchen was really overjoyed, and he found that there was a brief introduction behind the current arms, and he could know the advantages of soldiers simply and clearly.

However, at this moment Zhu Youchen hesitated: "Should I train infantry archers or spear-throwing fighters?"

Zhu Youchen will not give up the long-range advantage of the infantry archer, but he is also envious of the shield of the spear-throwing warrior.

You must know that so far, among the soldiers under his command, only the swordsman is holding a shield in his hand, and the shield undoubtedly strengthens their defense.

Although in front of the flintlock, there is actually not much difference between leather armor and iron armor, both of which can be pierced by lead bullets.

However, tight shields are a different story.

The shield can withstand flying lead bullets for a short period of time, even if it is only for a second, it can also reduce casualties when his soldiers attack the city.

System soldiers are compared to real soldiers, not to mention the will to see death as home. Except for the loyal Swiss mercenaries, no one can compare with system soldiers at this time.

If such soldiers can reduce casualties, they must reduce casualties, not to mention that the soldiers of the system have unlimited growth and should not be wasted in vain.

The four-meter-long spears held by the spearmen are heavy enough, and they have no time to carry the shields. The swordsmen have shields, but the training cost is very high, and gold is even used.

At this moment, looking at the spear-throwing warrior with a shield, Zhu Youchen's heart was inevitably moved.

His eyes lingered on the infantry archers and spear-throwing warriors for two seconds, then he gritted his teeth and ordered directly: "System, train [-] infantry archers and [-] spear-throwing warriors."

If you can't decide, then don't make a decision, and both arms will be produced directly.

Simply among them, only the archers need gold and wood, and the spear-throwing fighters only need food and wood. It is not so difficult to choose.

As soon as the words fell, the data on Zhu Youchen's resource panel changed. Food decreased by 50 units, wood decreased by 120 million, and gold directly decreased by 90 units.

[Ding, training step archer +20000, training now, please wait...]

[Ding, training Spear Throwing Warrior +20000, waiting for training...]

Timber and food are not counted, but gold has completely consumed the property that Zhu Youchen recovered from Brunei City in recent days.

However, Zhu Youchen was still happy in his heart. The conversion of 90 gold units was more than 2 taels of silver.

"More than 2 silver can train [-] soldiers, including [-] archers, worth it!"

Zhu Youchen felt that it was very valuable, unprecedented.

While speaking, densely packed archer icons appeared on the shooting range panel, and the densely packed progress bar advanced rapidly.

1%……25%……50%……75%……100%！！！

It seems slow but really fast.

In less than 15 seconds, a stocky archer came out of the shooting range.

It is only 1.6 meters tall by visual inspection, but the eyes under the leather helmet are bright and sharp, a brand-new walking bow is slung on the high raised back, and a quiver full of quiver is hanging on the waist. Walking around revealed neat black feathers.

His arms were hanging down, his fingertips were almost touching his knees, and there were streaks of black muscle knots.

Seeing Zhu Youchen, the archers bowed their hands and saluted immediately: "Gongyi pays homage to Your Highness!"

"Free gift!"

Zhu Youchen immediately raised his hand to avoid the courtesy, looked at the archer with eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be stopped.

[Archer: HP: 30, Attack Power: 4, Armor: 0, Shield: 0, Range: 4]

The health value of the infantry archers is five points higher than that of the peasants, but their attack power has caught up with the pikemen, and their range is a full four units.

Four units is 40 meters.

But this does not mean that infantry archers can only shoot 40 meters, but that the effective range is 40 meters.
