LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 66 Tactical collocation
Pikemen need to be arrayed to display their full combat power. It might be useful in the era of cold weapons, but here...
Forget it, let's give up the pikemen for the time being. After all, the terrain of the Devil's Mountains is not suitable for formation battles, and Swedish experienced swordsmen and sword soldiers are enough for small-scale battles.
After a few battles, Wang Ziming can be seen that the small-scale confrontation of hundreds of people pays more attention to the fighting skills and equipment in the melee. In this respect, the senior Swedish swordsman performed very well.
Wang Ziming's current soldier limit is only 150, and at most he can list a 100-man spear phalanx. It's purely a configuration that is better than nothing, so it's better to exchange for some other types of troops.
Wang Ziming glanced at the other three new Tier 2 soldiers, two of which were archers and crossbowmen, and Wang Ziming had already seen them.
The last cavalry militiaman was really just a militiaman. Apart from being able to ride a horse, it couldn't compare with other Tier 2 soldiers in terms of melee combat ability or weaponry!
Even being a scout is not qualified, because the horse-riding militia has no experience as a scout and needs to be trained again!
Wang Ziming didn't know anything about scouts, and he didn't have any talents in this field, so training was out of the question...
The most important thing is that there is no room for cavalry in the Devil's Mountain Range, so Wang Ziming doesn't have much demand for cavalry militia...
After checking around, Wang Ziming found that the most cost-effective ones are actually sword soldiers!
It can throw javelins at a distance, and can fight hand-to-hand when it is close. It is very flexible to use.
Wang Ziming, the two long-range bow and crossbow arms, has been tested before. Before reaching the third level, it is difficult to cause fatal damage to demonized creatures. On the basis of having a musket, it is purely useless...
After analyzing the pros and cons of the five Tier 2 units for him, Wang Ziming resolutely used all the soldiers quota to exchange for sword soldiers.
In terms of long-range firepower output, Wang Ziming plans to hand it over to the hired senior Swedish town militia. Anyway, this low-level mercenary does not need to pay long-term wages, and can be used as a basic unit all the time.
In the Devil's Mountains, I can use the senior Swedish town militiamen who use muskets as long-distance output, and the medium-to-short-range output relies on the throwing guns of sword soldiers. The power of throwing guns far exceeds that of bows and crossbows. Blocking short-range throwing guns is enough to ensure the killing efficiency.
For melee combat, I rely on experienced Swedish swordsmen, and the sword soldiers are reserved as a reserve team for melee combat, who can provide support in times of crisis and protect me personally in times of war!
After thinking about the tactics for the future, Wang Ziming immediately exchanged 136 sword soldiers, reaching the upper limit of soldiers!
As 136 fully armed sword soldiers came out of the town barracks, Wang Ziming's soul power decreased by 272 points!
The soul power that seemed to be very generous also fell below the three-digit mark.
After recruiting, Wang Ziming opened the updated personal panel.

Wang Ziming glanced at the number of senior town militiamen in Sweden, and felt that he needed to increase the number of musketeers. Although the Longzheng rifle had no ammunition and was in a scrapped state, the power of the arquebus was good, at least within a hundred meters. There is no problem with demonized goblins, provided that they hit the target...
However, even if the matchlock gun is placed within 50 meters to shoot, it will be farther than the distance of throwing a gun. When facing demonized creatures, you can first consume a wave of opponents.
Twenty-three magic stone gold coins should be enough to expand the team of senior Swedish town militiamen to more than a hundred people, and then they can barely use the three-shot tactic.
Thinking of this, Wang Ziming's consciousness called out Zhao Ritian again.
Now Zhao Ritian seems to have become a highly respected figure in the territory of the different space, and even the newly born pioneers respect Zhao Ritian very much under the influence of their ears and eyes.
Being able to be called out again and again by the ancestor to carry out expeditions alone is a supreme honor in itself!
How many people lined up to explore the world outside the different space territory under Wang Ziming's gaze!
What? Will it be life threatening?
Isn't it the most praiseworthy deed to die in battle for the great cause of the ancestor?
Zhao Ritian, who took off his upper body and all valuables, left the territory of the different space with his head held high and his chest held high under the attention of everyone.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wang Ziming found that after being promoted to the town center, the stronghold of the Swedish temporary mercenary camp became closer on the mini-map!
Wang Ziming's consciousness couldn't be measured with a precise ruler, but from his feeling, the mark on the small map of the mercenary camp was indeed getting closer.
In addition, Zhao Ritian, who left the different space territory, was rarely attacked by any criminals, and it took less than half the time before to reach the temporary mercenary camp in Sweden!
This time, Cole rode out of the camp alone on a horse.
Oh my friend, glad you're alive.
Cole saw that it was Zhao Ritian who came over this time, and greeted him 'kindly'.
Under the gaze of the great ancestor, my luck has always been the best!
Zhao Ritian was not angry at all, but replied triumphantly.
Lucky guy, how many people do you and the favored man behind you want to hire this time?
110 Swedish town militias.
The cost of hiring + promoting 10 senior Swedish town militiamen is 2 magic stone gold coins. Wang Ziming plans to exchange 22 magic stone gold coins for 110 Swedish senior town militiamen.
As you wish.
Ten minutes later, Cole quietly watched 110 Swedish town militiamen who had been promoted to the second rank under the light of promotion. He stepped forward with regret and said to Zhao Ritian: My friend, there is something that makes me I need to tell you something I regret.
