"Phot me hard, shoot all the arrows next to my feet to me, and then prepare to fight the enemy in close combat."

After the orc army entered the range, the player responsible for commanding the ranged attack directly issued a command to open fire.

With the command of the player commander, the elves players behind the shield formation immediately opened fire and set off waves of arrow rains on the orc army.

Facing the rain of arrows falling from the sky, the soldiers of the Bear Guards who were moving forward in an array did not panic. They calmly blocked the extra-large shield and continued to move forward.

When encountering such a shield with a very large protection area, the rain of arrows thrown out basically hit the shield and did useless work.

Even if some tricky arrows directly drew a strange arc and hit the lower body of the bear warrior, the bear warriors who were shot did not react much.

They pulled out the arrows inserted into their legs with great disdain, and then they didn't even look at whether the wound was bleeding, and they continued to move forward like nothing happened.

For bears with thick skin and flesh, ordinary types of arrows are difficult to deal with. As long as they are not hit by some fragile vital parts, the pain is basically the same as being bitten by a large mosquito.

"I know what's going on. No wonder they arrived here so quickly. It turned out that they came here in a lightweight and simple way."

After witnessing the enemy's performance with his own eyes, Sun Junyi, who was on the command tower, suddenly realized.

"Light-handed and simple? Are the shields in their hands and the maces they carry are not considered heavy infantry equipment?"

When Sun Junyi suddenly shouted without hesitation, Sun Junbo looked at the direction of the battlefield, his face full of doubts.

"Second brother, look carefully at the rear of the enemy. Is there half of the bear army still not dispatched?

Look at the advancing bear warriors, are they wearing equipment like armor worn by heavy infantry?"

Seeing that Sun Junbo didn't see it, Sun Junyi immediately gave a reminder.

"It's indeed not an iron can, but our orc heavy infantry doesn't seem to have an iron can to wear.

After all, they are so big, if they prepare those iron cans sets for them, how much fine iron will they have to be used!"

Although Sun Junyi has given a tip, Sun Junbo still does not think that the Bear Heavy Infantry of the Dashi Kingdom can afford real heavy armor, because even their main force of heavy infantry is wearing heavy armor that cut corners.

In ancient times, fine iron has always been the most important strategic resource, no doubt about it.

Although players are all modern people and their exploration methods are more advanced, due to the backward production conditions in ancient times, it is still difficult to develop the discovered minerals as soon as possible.

Depending on the depth of the deposit and the surrounding geological conditions, the mining difficulty of each deposit is also different.

Even if you have discovered a larger rich mine, you cannot get rich overnight. You have to go through a long period of mining before you can gradually become rich.

It is precisely because the production efficiency of mining deposits in the game is extremely low that the output of refined iron is still in a state of shortage of supply, and many forces are seriously short of iron.

Although the Northern Expedition Alliance was rich and powerful, they once armed some heavy infantry wearing full armor.

However, with the loss of Shanxi and other areas north of the Yellow River, and the large number of elite troops were annihilated by the Condor Empire, the Northern Expedition Alliance not only lost the richest mineral resources, but also lost a large amount of weapons and equipment.

Nowadays, after they were unable to buy enough iron ore, they began to become increasingly tight and had to carefully calculate the use of every piece of refined iron.

Originally, with Ye Ziqing and others' wealthy personality, they must have created the most solid full-body armor for all the heavy infantry under their command.

But the current objective conditions really do not allow them to do so. They have no conditions to arm a heavy orc infantry wearing full armor.

Because the orcs are so tall, it takes more iron to build their full-body armor.

If they use all the fine iron resources in their hands for the orcs, the other troops will have to be naked.

So they had to choose to cut corners on orc heavy infantry, use more animal skins and less fine iron, creating relatively lighter armor for the orcs.

This kind of corner-cutting armor is due to its lightness, and its disadvantage is that its protection ability is much worse than that of the iron can. Once it faces a real orc heavy infantry, they will suffer a lot in positional battles.

Even they were rich and powerful, they could not build real iron armor for their orc heavy infantry. Sun Junbo felt that he did not believe that even Shandong had the same financial resources as Dashi Kingdom.

The Condor Empire, which occupies many iron ore resources, has this strength, but Sun Junbo does not believe that Ning Yuan would provide the full-body armor with complex craftsmanship to the Dashi Kingdom, because the Condor Empire has more army, and I am afraid that their own people may not be able to share it.

In Sun Junbo's cognition, it is already very good that the Condor Empire can provide the Dashi Kingdom with some armor-breaking weapons and shields for heavy infantry. Ning Yuan cannot provide the treasures he has put in the box to others.

And the fact is just as Sun Junbo expected, the heavy infantry armor provided by the Condor Heroes Empire to the Dashi Kingdom was not the full-body armor made of fine iron, but leather armor similar to the heavy infantry of the Northern Expedition Alliance.

The leather armor was worn by the heavy infantry of the Condor Heroes before. Although the main body used animal skins, it was thickened with multiple layers to improve its protection ability, so the overall weight was still very heavy.

This time, after receiving Lang Wulian's request for help, Xiong Xiaoguang not only reduced the number of shields and maces, but also left all the leather armor in the camp, achieving a truly lightweight and simple journey.

Although the bear man heavy infantry under Xiong Xiaoguang still has terrible attack ability, after lacking the protection of armor, they can only rely on the strength of the bear man's own physical strength to resist the enemy's attack.

After lacking armor specifically used to protect the body, they are no longer considered a truly heavy infantry army.

Sun Junbo could see this, how could Sun Junyi, who is good at marching and formation, not be able to see it?

Seeing that Sun Junbo was still confused, Sun Junyi smiled and said, "Second brother, your analysis makes sense, but what I want to say is not this. What I care about is whether they are heavy infantry in the true sense.
