Chapter 135: The wielding crescent halberd
The process of processing tree vines is not difficult in itself. After he gives instructions, I believe the equipment department can do it well, but it will take some time.
During this period of time, Zhou Xu certainly could not wait around. After polishing the first batch of crescent halberds in the forging department, it was time for him to summon the fifteen soldiers over and start Weapons training was conducted.
Doing so will undoubtedly reduce the efficiency of copper mining at the mine.
In response to this situation, Zhou Xu's adjustment was to directly transfer some of the mining workers at the coal mine to dig copper mines.
At the coal mine, long-term mining work has allowed them to accumulate a certain amount of inventory. Even if the mining efficiency of the coal mine is reduced in a short period of time, their tribe will still have coal mines to use, and it will not have any substantial impact. .
Under Zhou Xu’s mobilization, fifteen soldiers quickly gathered outside the Black Moon Camp.
As the new weapons were distributed, the soldiers could clearly feel that the new weapons were much heavier than the stone axes and spears they originally used.
During this period, as the chief instructor of weapons training, Zhou Xu had undoubtedly come to Zhou Chongshan to talk about this new weapon three days before the official start of the training.
However, in terms of the use of weapons, facing Zhou Chongshan, the 'weapon master', he really didn't have much to say, so he simply introduced the versatility of this crescent halberd.
After listening to Zhou Xu's introduction, Zhou Chongshan plunged into research on the crescent halberd.
Perhaps due to his talent, Zhou Chongshan, as a 'weapon master', is also very interested in various weapons.
Under the dual catalyst of talent and interest, in these three days, Zhou Chongshan had a rough idea of how to use the crescent halberd with his own gestures.
Now if you want to say that he has perfected this crescent halberd, you are definitely far from it. No matter how talented he is, he has never reached this level.
But Zhou Chongshan, who was holding a crescent halberd in every gesture, no longer looked like a novice. It was more than enough in Zhou Xu's opinion to let him teach the new recruits in the tribe.
Different from the previous spears and stone axes, when the spears and stone axes are taken out separately, for them, the attack methods can be simplified into two types, the former is stabbing, and the latter is chopping.
However, the Crescent Halberd is different. This weapon directly combines the characteristics of these two weapons, and even derives a richer fighting style.
It will undoubtedly take a lot of effort for ordinary soldiers to master it and use it flexibly.
After assigning the crescent halberd, Zhou Xu went to inspect on the first day of training.
Standing at the front of the training team, Zhou Chongshan was waving his crescent halberd with such skill that he asked the soldiers below to follow his example.
But for ordinary soldiers, this situation is basically the same as a master directly showing off his skills and then asking his disciples to follow suit.
What do you want them to do? They can’t do it!
Zhou Chongshan’s performance was too fast, too smooth and too powerful. The same set of movements were asked by the soldiers below, but they seemed to be imitating others. Each and every one of them seemed to have changed their limbs. It became uncoordinated.
Looking at the 'group of demons dancing' in front of him, Zhou Chongshan scratched the back of his head with a headache. For a moment, he didn't know why everyone couldn't learn it.
Zhou Xu, who was standing not far away, saw black threads hanging from his head.
At this moment, he clearly realized a problem that he had ignored before.
Just because someone is good at using their own weapons, it does not mean that they can also teach others.
Faced with various weapons, even new weapons that he had never used before, the reason why Zhou Chongshan was able to get started so quickly was to put it bluntly, because of his unique talent.
But you can’t use this talent when teaching others!
Although he had briefly trained the soldiers on stone axes and spears before, as mentioned before, the attack postures of these two weapons are simple, so what Zhou Chongshan taught was also simple. , ordinary soldiers can also keep up.
But now, the crescent halberd's attack pattern suddenly became more complicated, but Zhou Chongshan still relied on his own feelings to attack casually. It was weird that the ordinary soldiers below could keep up with him. Zhou Xu was obviously too lazy to wait for Zhou Chongshan to realize this problem.
What he is looking for now is efficiency, how can he waste any time?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu quickly waved to his follower Li Shitou to run over and call Zhou Chongshan over.
Li Shitou was very fast, and after Zhou Chongshan learned that the leader was looking for him, he immediately ran over.
"Chief, do you have something to ask me about?"
In this regard, Zhou Xu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point...
"Chongshan, your teaching is wrong. For them, This is too difficult. You have to take it apart piece by piece to teach them."
"..."
Hearing this, Zhou Chongshan fell into a brief silence. He wanted to do it. He said that he had actually chosen simple moves to teach them. After all, he still had some brains.
But what he didn't expect was that this simple move in his opinion was not simple enough...
Looking at the silent Zhou Chongshan, he was really not a person who was good at hiding his thoughts. Whatever I was thinking was basically written on my face.
This also made Zhou Xu's tone a little helpless...
"Chongshan, for you, it may be very simple, but it may not be simple for them. , according to my idea, you can first let them practice the straight thrust and slashing movements with you. After practicing for a period of time and they have become accustomed to it, you can then teach them to connect the straight thrust and slashing. ”
“I understand.”
Zhou Chongshan nodded directly, indicating that he understood.
As of now, Zhou Xu has no intention of letting Zhou Chongshan teach the fifteen soldiers anything more.
Straight thrust followed by chop, chop followed by straight thrust, combined with various angles and directions, learn and use them flexibly.
Ordinary soldiers are just ordinary soldiers after all. In Zhou Xu's view, their own abilities are limited, and they can just practice and become proficient in these two times.
If you teach them too much, sometimes it will only make them more and more confused as they practice. Don't even think they can do these two things well.
Following their leader's wishes, Zhou Chongshan led his soldiers and began training step by step.
During this process, Zhou Chongshan soon discovered that even if it was a single straight thrust and chopping action, the soldiers had more or less problems with it.
The fundamental reason is that, to put it bluntly, the weapon has changed, the weight of the weapon has changed, and the center of gravity of the weapon has also changed.
While the overall weight of copper weapons increases, due to the crescent blade on one side of the crescent halberd, the weight of one side will be significantly heavier, and the center of gravity will also shift.
The new recruits will inevitably not get used to it after they change it, and it will definitely take time to adapt. This is also the main reason why their limbs become uncoordinated when they continuously wave the crescent halberd. They just don't catch this bias. Shifting center of gravity.
Amidst the enthusiastic training of the soldiers, time passed quietly. As the construction team completed the work at the Black Moon Camp, a system prompt sounded in Zhou Xu's mind...
System prompt: Congratulations. The territory 'Black Moon Camp' under 'Zhou Xu' was successfully upgraded to the 'village' level!
