Chapter 176 Vine Armor Soldiers
Two days passed after Zhou Xu arrived at the grassland camp. Pulling a batch of newly forged swords and vine armor, the ox cart of the transport team arrived here smoothly.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu called Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce over, pointed at the soldiers' new equipment, and told them about the training.
“This is the latest rattan armor made by the equipment department, which is enough to resist the attack of our tribe’s bronze weapons.”
As Zhou Xu said this, he personally took out a set of rattan armor from it. A, and then demonstrated putting it on.
In order to make the rattan armor better fixed on their bodies and prevent it from loosening in fierce battles, a little bit of skill is still needed when wearing these various parts.
As a time traveler, Zhou Xu himself could figure it out without having to think about it, but primitive people might not be able to figure it out. It wouldn’t take much time anyway, so he might as well teach it from beginning to end.
In fact, it was the first time even for him to wear this full set of rattan armor.
Before he traveled through time, he liked to wear loose clothes because they were comfortable. After traveling through time, he was wrapped in animal skins, which did not feel restrictive.
But now the rattan armor he wore made his whole body tense up.
It's impossible to say how comfortable this thing is to wear.
In fact, considering the issues of portability and physical activity, he adopted a multi-component light armor design, which itself has greatly increased flexibility, but the set of rattan armor on his body is still impossible. Avoid giving him a sense of restraint.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Even if they want to improve, they have to wait for the next batch. What they can do now is to adapt to this vine armor.
After putting on the rattan armor, he turned around and pulled out the sword that had been adjusted and improved according to his requirements.
Under the sun, the copper sword exudes an icy cold light. Zhou Xu, who has used the previous version, can clearly see that the entire blade is directly broken compared to before. A big chunk.
It's more of a short sword than a fighting knife.
In this way, the risk of the sword breaking is reduced to the greatest extent.
Of course, even so, the length of this short knife is longer than the common stone axe. This is what Zhou Xu means, so that they can ensure the advantage of attack distance in close combat.
Zhou Xu waved twice casually, and the sword made a whirring sound.
During this period, as a person who is very interested in weapons, Zhou Chongshan undoubtedly had his eyes on the sword when he just took it out.
When Zhou Xu saw it, he directly handed over the knife.
“Take it.”
In response, Zhou Chongshan did not refuse and took the sword directly.
Compared with the crescent halberd, the method of using this sword is much simpler and clearer. According to his talent, just by looking at the style of the sword, he has a rough idea of how to use this weapon.
The crescent halberd's moves include many cutting methods, which can be used on this sword with just a few adjustments.
While Zhou Chongshan was pondering this, Zhou Xu had already taken out a one-handed round shield from the equipment sent.
“Take this, too.”
As he spoke, he threw it to Zhou Chongshan.
Zhou Zhongshan reacted quickly, raised his hand to catch it, and then looked down at the one-handed round shield, his expression slightly lost.
“This one-handed buckler is to be used in conjunction with the sword.”
Zhou Chongshan still knew about shields. After all, he had rushed through the shield array under the large door panel shield earlier. Later, his tribe also used the large door panel shield in the battle for some tactical cooperation.
The reason why he is in a trance now is because the moment this one-handed buckler appeared, he realized that he had oversimplified this set of equipment before. Just a sword, this weapon is indeed simple, but once it is added with this one-handed round shield, it forms a combination of attack with one hand and defense with the other, and the combat methods suddenly become richer.
If this sword and shield are used properly, the combat power it can display will probably far exceed his expectations!
At this moment, he began to make gestures with both hands involuntarily. It was clear that he was inspired and entered the state. He directly began to concentrate on studying the offensive and defensive moves of this sword and shield.
When Zhou Xu saw this, he didn't bother him. Anyway, he had already finished what he wanted to say to Zhou Chongshan.
Drawing Li Ce over, the two changed places to chat.
"Li Ce, you have also seen that the weapon has changed a lot. The original crescent halberd has a longer attack range and richer attack modes, but now it has been replaced by a sword and shield, and the attack range is Although it has become shorter, it has a round shield that can be used for parry and defense. It emphasizes the integration of offense and defense, so some tactical formations have to be adjusted accordingly."
"Please rest assured, leader, my subordinates are aware of this. That's it..."
Li Ce undoubtedly understands what their leader means, but there is still one question he still doesn't understand.
"In the future, the weapons of the soldiers will be replaced by this sword and shield from the crescent halberd?"
"No."
Faced with this question, Zhou Xu shook his head very simply. Shake his head.
“I hope that this group of soldiers can use a variety of weapons, so that they can use different weapons for different situations. Even when necessary, I may need them to be fully armed and carry Fight with a variety of weapons."
At this moment, Zhou Xu's words couldn't help but bursts of light burst out from Li Ce's eyes.
According to their leader's description, if soldiers like this could be trained, how strong would they be? !
Just thinking about it made Li Ce very excited, but after the excitement, he quickly calmed down.
“Chief, I’m afraid it’s difficult to train soldiers like this. The time in this day is limited. Nowadays, soldiers only conduct tactical training, endurance training, riding training, archery training and crescent moon training every day. The halberd weapon training is already exhausting..."
After calming down, the meaning of Li Ce's words was very clear, that is, the soldiers may not be able to bear such training.
“Then strengthen physical training, improve their physical fitness, and train until they can tolerate it.”
"..."
"Of course, in contrast, the soldiers' meals have been increased from the original two meals a day to three meals a day, and eggs and meat are arranged every meal."
"..."
This is something Li Ce never dreamed of.
Did he hear wrongly? Three meals a day? Do you still arrange eggs and meat every meal? This is simply a luxury!
Looking at the confused Li Ce, Zhou Xu smiled.
After all, he knows that for high-intensity training, nutrition must be kept up, and protein acquisition is particularly important.
Now that their tribe’s chicken farm has grown to a large scale, there is no problem in supplying eggs and chicken to the soldiers every day.
But even so, it may not be able to ensure that all soldiers can persevere.
So in response to this situation, he also made other arrangements.
"After this, I plan to divide the soldiers into two units. One is an elite unit, composed of rattan armor soldiers equipped with a full set of rattan armor. I want every soldier in this army to be able to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and be good at many things. One weapon, and the other is an ordinary army. Soldiers in ordinary armies only need to specialize in one weapon."
"In the future, if the vine armor soldiers cannot keep up with the training, they will not meet the standards. Those who perform well can be demoted to the ordinary troops, and those who perform well can also choose to be promoted to vine armor soldiers."
"..."
