Chapter 22 Military Training
There was no need for infantry to engage in head-on combat at this time, so Li Qing had just assigned an infantryman to each archer. As soon as they saw the kobold throwers attacking, they would immediately use wooden shields to protect themselves, regardless of whether they could hit the target or not.
The accuracy from bottom to top can be imagined. When ten kobold throwers attacked at the same time, four muffled sounds were heard.
"All archers, focus your fire on target number one!"
Twenty-seven archers adjusted their angles to find the virtual number marked by Li Qing, and the second round of arrows shot in the same direction.
Being in a high position, there were too many kobolds gathered in this small space and they were unable to dodge. About 80% of the arrows in this rain hit the target, turning the kobold thrower into a hedgehog on the spot.
There was no need for him to say anything more, as the archers followed the procedure and called out the next numbered target one by one.
The space outside the city wall is not big. It is a semi-moon-shaped space with the widest point in the middle being only about 20 meters and less than 40 meters long. A hundred kobolds crowded in this area would make them sitting ducks.
The stunned ogres soon found their target and swarmed to the city gate, smashing it hard with the wooden and bone sticks in their hands.
But it had no effect other than making a dull thud and sending broken bones flying everywhere, and the infantry on the wall took the opportunity to push some stones down and killed many people.
In less than two minutes, all the long-range throwers were shot dead, and then they could scatter freely and kill them slowly.
Without long-range weapons, the archers did not even need infantry protection. They all gathered at the edge of the city wall and shot downwards.
A three-meter-high city wall is equivalent to standing on the second floor and shooting down. In fact, it is not very high. However, this group of ogres sealed in the cards do not have any siege tools, there are no trees in the open space, and the ogres' jumping ability is also poor. It is impossible for them to reach the archers on the city wall.
Without any surprises, ten minutes later, the battle ended after the most tenacious ogre leader was shot dead.
Then the city gate opened, and a group of farmers rushed out and moved all the dog-headed man corpses together, and he collected them all using the space in his palm.
All the arrows shot were collected. Most of them were still usable, but a small number of damaged arrowheads were also recycled and waited for the blacksmith to re-polish and repair them when the blacksmith shop was finished.
As for the broken arrows, you can only replace them with new ones.
This is not a big problem. When he has time, he can condense a bunch of standard arrow shafts in one go.
It can only be said that the ability of his golden finger is so practical that he can be used as a large group of craftsmen by himself. It is simply a magic weapon in the early stage of farming and accumulation.
There is nothing to do next. After cleaning up outside the city wall, close the city gate and summon a group of gnolls as before, and continue to follow the previous steps.
In less than ten minutes, another hundred gnolls were killed without any casualties.
This time, without clearing the field, Li Qing directly started the third round of kobold summoning.
This is too time-consuming. It takes several minutes just to open the city gate, and more than ten to twenty minutes to close the gate after collecting the corpses. This time is enough for two more waves.
And this time he used two cards at the same time, summoning two hundred ogres in one breath to squeeze below.
The threat of twenty kobold throwers increased slightly, but there was no qualitative change. As long as the archers were careful and didn't stick their heads outside the parapet all the time, basically nothing would happen.
After all, the damage is only great if the stone hits someone directly. If it misses and falls from the sky and hits you, it will only cause pain and injury. The size of the stones thrown by the kobold throwers is not enough to kill someone.
At the end of the third round, five elite-quality and seven elite-quality archers finally accumulated enough combat experience and were promoted from level zero to level 15 imperial archers.
But up to now, no veteran has accumulated enough combat experience to be promoted to the second-level troops.
But it’s not a big problem, he still has more than a dozen kobold cards on hand.
After a short rest, the fourth round began, this time with another two hundred gnolls.
However, this time the archers did not need infantry protection. After three rounds, they already knew that the attacks of the ogre throwers could not hurt them. The infantry did not need to stay here, but were transferred by Li Qing to line up behind the city gate tower.
Five knights dismounted and came to the soldier caves on the left and right of the city gate tower with long-pole lances.
At this time, the bolt pillar of the outer city gate had been removed, and the dog-headed man only needed to push hard to open the outer city gate.
But the inner city gate was not opened and remained closed.
After getting ready, Li Qing took out two more Gnoll Cards and activated them. They turned into white light and fell outside the city wall. He quickly marked the confused Gnoll Thrower and ordered an attack.
The blood and corpses of their own kind all over the ground quickly awakened the dog-headed people , and they rushed to the city gate.
The thick outer city gate was pushed open with one impact, and the front row poured into the gate tower.
The knights hiding in the soldier caves on the left and right raised their long lances, inserted them into the vertical slots and poked them outwards. The infantrymen squatting near the opening above the city gate picked up the stones piled on the side and smashed them down with force.
Relying on the advantage of terrain, a large number of ogres were either stabbed to death or smashed to death, and those squeezed outside were shot to death.
When they were almost dead, they took the initiative to open the inner door. The wounded and disabled ogres rushed into the city, only to see shield-bearing infantrymen half-surrounded and ready for battle outside the door.
The archers also turned from the other side of the city wall to this side and shot down, attacking from multiple sides and easily wiping out the enemy.
Although this operation will result in some losses, the infantry will also gain some experience.
There were four waves in total, and after killing all six hundred ogres, no soldier met the promotion requirements.
Li Qing ordered his family members and civilians to move all the dog-headed men's corpses and put them away. After a short rest, they continued the next round of fighting.
There are two thousand ogres in total, which is enough to upgrade all the troops to the second level.
The stronger the overall strength, the higher the tolerance for challenges two months later, and the more capital will be able to gain.
After a whole night, Li Qing only used up ten ogre cards before going to bed.
There were only six waves in total. After the sixth wave was killed, a large number of soldiers finally accumulated enough promotion experience and could be promoted to the second-level troops.
Imperial Veteran Infantry (Ordinary): General melee infantry of the human camp, the most reliable backbone force on the battlefield.
Level: 25.
Basic skills: One-handed LV3, running LV3, shield LV3.
Advanced skills: slash, shield strike.
Slash: Charge for 1 second, aim at the target in front and cause 100% additional damage, cooldown time is 30 seconds.
Shield Strike: Hit the target with a shield, causing 50% of the attack damage and 1-3 seconds of stiffness. The larger the target, the shorter the stiffness time. The cooldown time is 15 seconds.
Empire Senior Archer (Ordinary): A common ranged soldier in the human camp, the most basic ranged force on the battlefield.
Level: 25.
Basic skills: One-handed LV3, running LV3, archery LV3.
Advanced skills: charged arrow, projectile.
Charged Arrow: Charges for 1-3 seconds, causing 50%-150% additional damage to a single target, with a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Projectile: Fire an arrow at a 45-degree angle toward the sky, with the maximum effective killing range +100%.
Imperial Lancers (Elite): General purpose cavalry of the human camp, an important mobile force on the battlefield.
Level: 28.
Basic skills: Riding LV3, Running LV3, One-handed LV3, Long pole LV4.
Advanced skill: Spear charge.
Spear Charge: The cavalry charges at the target with their spears raised. If they hit the target, they will cause an extra 200% speed damage bonus to the single target, and will definitely penetrate armor below heavy armor, causing a critical hit.
This is the basic attribute of an ordinary second-tier senior imperial soldier.
The elite template is all attributes +30%, physique, endurance, strength, reaction, etc. all increase by 30%. In a one-on-one duel between an elite and an ordinary unit, the elite will definitely win.
The elite template has all attributes +100%, including physique, endurance, strength, reaction, etc. all increased by 100%.
When the skills and equipment are the same, the elite template completely crushes the ordinary template.
Specifically displayed in front of Li Qing, the ordinary template of the Empire's senior infantry was wearing chain mail, and the shield in his hand was changed into a teardrop-shaped iron shield. The weapon was sharper, which was almost a qualitative improvement compared to the previous level.
The second-level Imperial Lancers also underwent significant changes. The leather armor on their bodies was replaced with chain mail, and a layer of chain mail was also covered on the vital parts of their horses.
The spear in his hand is longer and sharper, and is equipped with a one-handed sword and a triangular shield.
When they mount a horse, they are cavalrymen; when they dismount, they are infantrymen.
After the promotion of his military branch, Li Qing did not continue training as he was already a little tired today.
It is worth mentioning that after commanding so many battles, his strategic level was finally promoted from level one to level two, and he gained some strategic attribute points. He added this attribute to... defense.
You can only output if you can stand firm. The higher the defense, the greater the output.
Although the bonus of only one strategic attribute point is not much, Rome was built from the first brick, so we can't give it up just because the bonus is small.
It is worth mentioning that the so-called first and second levels of the strategic level and the first and second levels of the strength level are not calculated using the same algorithm.
The tenth level of strength is a legendary powerhouse.
Strategic level ten is equivalent to level ten, and there are also levels twenty and thirty.
As for the combat level, he stood on the city wall and pushed some stones down from time to time, which earned him a lot of experience. Combined with some experience accumulated in the experience pool before, he has now reached level 4.
You can get 1+N skill points for each combat level, with 1 point as the base and additional points depending on your own talent.
Those with powerful talents can obtain more extra skill points. For example, those with strong bloodline, or those with excellent mental talent like Li Qing, will also get bonuses if their soul talent is strong enough.
Human civilization has not yet figured out the exact bonus formula. Generally speaking, the stronger the talent, the greater the bonus.
For example, when Li Qing reaches level 4, he gains 4*1=4 points+4*4=16 points, a total of 20 skill points.
That is to say, he will gain a basic 1 skill point plus an extra N=4 skill points for each level he gains, making 5 skill points at level 1.
It is worth mentioning that these additional 4 skill points per level can never be brought by the five-star+ mental power talent.
The entire human civilization is so vast that there are many geniuses with five-star + mental power talents. The extra skill points they obtain at each level are different, some only have 1 point, some only have 2 points. It is extremely rare for someone like him to get 4 points.
It can be said that the additional skill points obtained by some super five-star talents are about this number.
Li Qing guessed that the reason he could obtain such a high number of additional skill points was probably because his soul talent was also very strong.
There is no other possibility.
It can't be his bloodline. His bloodline won't have any bonus unless it's awakened.
Skill points can strengthen basic skills, such as one-handed skills, running skills, archery skills, long pole skills, riding skills and so on.
Basic skills like these have a hidden 1/10 skill progress bar. The skill progress bar can be improved through combat, but the speed is very slow. At this time, you can use skill points to improve it quickly.
Regardless of the basic skill level, LV1, LV5, or LV20, the progress bar is 1/10.
However, the higher the level, the more effort and sweat you need to put in for each 10-point improvement.
It is possible that each point improvement of LV20 is equivalent to the sum of the previous LV levels.
Li Qing only has three basic skills at this time, namely One-handed LV1, Running LV1, Throwing LV1. Universal Meditation is a special skill, not a basic skill.
The attribute panel usually does not display the hidden progress bar, but at this time Li Qing looked at the three basic skills for a few seconds, and a progress bar appeared behind the skills.
One-handed LV1, 2/10.
Running LV1, 4/10.
Throwing LV1, 1/10.
This data is very real.
Theoretically, he can now use these 20 skill points to upgrade two of the basic skills to LV2, or one of them to LV3.
but……
Li Qing felt that there was no need for it for the time being. Anyway, he didn't need close combat right now. He could save some money first and deal with it later.
It is also worth mentioning that in addition to only being able to add skill points gained from upgrading to basic skills, there is also an upper limit to the level that can be enhanced, although the restriction is not large.
Among them, skill points obtained below level 59 can only enhance any basic skills to LV10 or below, including LV10.
Skill points gained from levels 60-79 can only enhance basic skills to LV15 or below, including LV15.
Skill points gained at levels 80-99 can only enhance basic skills to LV20 or below, including LV20.
Therefore, don't expect to save up all your skill points and then upgrade them to more than 10 or 20 levels after your basic skills are improved. That won't work. The best way is to save them temporarily and upgrade them without hesitation when the need arises.
In addition , every ten combat levels are one level, and each level will gain 1 expertise point.
Professionals have professional expertise, and heroes have heroic expertise.
After coming out of the divine realm, Li Qing fell asleep.
The next day, after attending classes seriously and completing three meditations a day, he entered the divine realm again.
This time he would use up all the kobold cards, increase his strength, and then decompose all the kobold corpses to extract the tiny trace of dragon blood in all the kobolds' bodies.
Because tomorrow is the tutor's class, there will be a test and he has to perform well.
In training sessions like this one, which are taught personally by a mentor once a week, there will be prizes for good performance. The worst will receive direct monetary rewards, while the best will be rewarded with various military promotion cards, including cavalry, crossbowmen, and various siege equipment cards that are difficult to buy on the market.
In addition to these arms, there are also some non-arms cards.
The most valuable of these are naturally the various divine domain building cards.
This kind of building is not the various buildings they built themselves, but a special building with magical functions.
