During the expedition to Yu Chiren, Shi Xiong found that the effect on the shield wall was still very good. Especially during the few days when the Yu Chiren was chased and killed, if it hadn’t prepared the kind of large wooden shield wrapped in iron in advance, perhaps the expedition team would have to drop more than a dozen corpses or even more corpses on Yu Chiren’s side. Ran out.

The last time the Yu Chi Man expedition was Shi Xiong’s first command of operations, even if he is from a later generation, he has more than two hundred years of knowledge than anyone in this world, but in terms of military affairs, he is still out-and-out. Rookie.

　　Although the expedition team has far more advanced thermal weapons than Yu Chiren, the rookie Shixiong still underestimates the huge gap in the number of people. Sometimes it can smooth the gap between weapons.

At the beginning of the battle with the Yuchi, because the chief of the Yuchi and several tribal leaders were shot and killed by the stone bear in advance, the Yuchi crowd had no head, and this was completely beaten by a hundred musketeers, which eventually led to a collapse. . But in the final stage of being hunted down, Yu Chiren was chased only in the last few days because of the command of the bighorn sheep from the Cree tribe, and the retreat route of the expedition team was not suitable for the Musketeers to exert the greatest power. Killed so miserably.

　　 If it weren’t for the last decisive battle, the river beach was really too suitable for the Musketeers to play. The final result of that battle is still unknown.

　　 But it was the decisive battle that made Shi Xiong realize that the protection of his fighters is actually very important.

Regardless of whether you have long-range attack weapons such as grenades, muskets, and strong bows, the expeditionary force has only more than 2,000 people, and the expeditionary force needs to face a large tribe with a population of close to 100,000. .

Although Shixiong is confident that even in the face of 10,000 Kri people, his own troops can finally defeat the enemy with the advanced nature of their weapons, but the decisive battle with Yu Chiren made Shixiong decided to add a protective umbrella to the main combat troops. .

　　 This layer of protective umbrella is the three hundred people who served as guerrillas.

　　 These three hundred people usually fight with the main force, but the main time for them to take action is to shoot with a strong bow after the enemy breaks through a distance of 120 meters. The high tree tribe’s strong bow made of steel plates has a range that is nearly twice as long as that of the Cree’s bows and arrows, so this strong bow is also a powerful supplement to the musket.

　　 However, once the enemy broke through within 80 meters by virtue of the number of people, the three hundred people would use the large shields they carried to build a shield wall for the musketeers in front, to protect the musketeers behind the shield wall to the utmost extent.

The weight of a large shield is more than 20 kilograms. These three hundred guerrillas must not be able to carry such a heavy thing before fighting. After all, the weight of their own arrows is not as heavy as that of the large iron arrows used by the stone bear. Outrageous, but they carry a large number of arrows, and their weight is already very heavy, plus the big shield, then they don't do anything at all.

Therefore, in order to ensure the offensive and defensive capabilities of these guerrillas, Shixiong specially equipped them with fifty tamed bisons. These fifty bisons are their "logistics" and are specially used to carry the large shields of these rangers. And arrows.

　　 With these guerrillas here, and with the main force, Shi Xiong is confident to resist an attack of 10,000 people!

　　 No matter how powerful the Cree tribe is, it is only a tribe with a population of about 100,000. The number of fighters of such a tribe is about 30,000. Even if it is a 10,000-scale attack, how many times can they organize?

　　 As for the protection of the logistics soldiers, Shi Xiong also has arrangements.

　　 Although the logistics team was in the rear during the battle, after all, this expedition was to go to the Kerry people’s territory to find trouble, and they were the home game, occupying the advantage of the geographical advantage. In the unlikely event that someone discovers the existence of logistics soldiers during combat, and allocates a unit to attack the logistics soldiers, then the logistics soldiers must have a certain degree of self-protection capability.

　　 There are more than two hundred bullock carts in the logistics team. In addition to various ammunition and food supplies, each bullock cart also has a defensive equipment similar to a shield wall made of thin steel plates.

　　 This kind of equipment is connected with the bullock cart and is a retractable equipment. Once an enemy appeared around the logistics unit, the logistics soldiers gathered the bullock carts together and surrounded the city in small circles. All the bulls rushed inside and the bullock carts were outside. Then the logistics soldiers could put them in the bullocks. The thin steel plate at the bottom of the car was pulled out and then erected again.

　　 This kind of thin steel plate is very thin, only about two millimeters thick, but the area is much larger than the wooden shields used by guerrillas. The area of ​​the entire thin steel plate is about the same size as that of the chassis of a bullock cart.

　　 Although this kind of "steel shield" made of thin steel plates is not light in weight, the weight is directly borne by the bullock cart and does not impose any burden on the fighters. And once this kind of steel shield is erected at a forty-five-degree angle, it can cover almost all the bullock cart and the pulled bison, and almost all the enemy's arrows.

For the bows and arrows used by the Indians now, it is almost impossible to shoot through this two-millimeter-thick steel plate~lightnovelpub.net~ Even if the enemy breaks through the distance where the bone spear can be used, it is close. The bone spear thrown from the distance is also helpless with this kind of steel plate.

　　 This is a serious steel plate, not to mention arrows and bone spears. Even if the Musketeers shoot at close range, lead bullets cannot penetrate the steel plate!

　　 These steel plates are the main protective equipment for logistics soldiers. As for the counterattack, that was the strong bow in the hands of the 700 logistics soldiers.

　　Those soldiers who serve as logistic transporters are just logistic soldiers, but they are also very elite soldiers. After all, they are elite warriors carefully selected from the Crooked Ear Tribe and the Bone Spear Tribe. Although they could not be selected as the Musketeers and Artillery, their strength should never be underestimated.

　　 These seven hundred logistics soldiers have also killed people and seen blood, and each of them was originally an elite warrior in their respective tribes. After Shixiong equipped them with strong bows, steel knives and earthen grenade, these guys are actually a group of hedgehogs covered with thorns.

　　 If anyone dares to underestimate this group of logistics soldiers and want to bite a piece of meat on these logistics soldiers, they must first be prepared for the big teeth to be broken!

　　 To use a sentence that Dahe, the supervisor of logistics soldiers, learned from Shi Xiong-don't use beanbags as dry food, don't use logistics soldiers as vegetables...

　　 Although Dahe doesn't understand what a bean bun is or what a vegetable chicken is, this doesn't prevent this sentence from becoming a word on the lips of the logistics soldiers.

　　 Just like this, in the days before the expedition, all the preparations that the entire expeditionary army had made, waited for the day of the expedition to arrive, and then they went to the Kerry field to go wild...
