Chapter 208 The Injured Zhou Chongshan
After telling Ye Jinghong what happened, Zhou Xu walked out of the house. It was getting dark now, and torches were lit in the village camp. Their interior lighting.
What is different from usual is that because of the fighting during the day, there are still many people busy in the village at this time.
At this moment, Li Ce came over and briefly reported to him the casualties this time.
This time they had the home field advantage to fight a defensive battle. Those in front were all his skeleton soldiers, and the villagers and soldiers were behind. The only ones who had actual contact with the hyenas had to start chasing them. time.
However, no one died, and only three soldiers were injured, and the injuries were not serious, which made Zhou Xu relieved.
"Oh, by the way, how is Chongshan?"
Li Ce knew that their leader was asking about Zhou Chongshan's injury.
“My wrist is swollen like this.”
Li Ce gestured as he spoke.
The simple and clear action made Zhou Xu's eyelids jump.
【Good guy, this is as swollen as a steamed bun. 】
When Zhou Chongshan used the crescent halberd to penetrate the body of the hyena man, his wrist was already sprained because he could not support the weight with one hand.
After that, the hyenas suddenly attacked Zhou Xu with a 'pretend to be a corpse', and Zhou Chongshan quickly grabbed the horn bow and forced it to open.
The previous bows and arrows were okay, but Zhuang Mengdie’s new animal horn bow is a serious and powerful bow, which requires higher wrist strength.
The wrist of Zhou Chongshan's dominant hand was already sprained, so forcing him to draw the bow directly caused more injuries to him. As a result, before the arrow could be fired, the hyena man's throat was sealed with a knife by their leader.
Rounding off, this injury is in vain.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there.
Looking at Zhou Chongshan, who had finished applying the medicine and was walking over, Zhou Xu glanced at his injured wrist.
"Li Ce told me about your wrist. In the next period of time, you should take a good rest and resume training after your wrist injury heals."
When Zhou Chongshan heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Chief, I'm fine! This little injury will be fine after a sleep!"
Hearing these words, Zhou Xu was speechless.
"You must know better than me whether it is a minor injury. In this situation, if the injury worsens, it is hard to say whether your hand will be as flexible as before in the future!"
Zhou Xu, who said this, had a serious expression on his face.
The sprain was indeed not a serious injury to begin with, but the problem is that Zhou Chongshan is now suffering from an injury. At the same time, this primitive era lacks corresponding drugs and medical conditions. If the injury continues to worsen, it will be difficult to say. .
Zhou Xu didn’t want to lose a strong general just because of such a trivial matter.
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu made a decision in his heart.
"Although you have injured your dominant hand, you should be fine riding a horse. Tomorrow morning, I will ask someone to take you back to Black Moon Village to recuperate. Let Ye Yan take a look at it for you and give me a thorough hand. After being cured, Ye Yan nodded and you can come back!"
Hearing this, Zhou Chongshan wanted to argue a few words, but as soon as he raised his head, he met Zhou Xu's eyes.
There was no need to speak, the unquestionable look in his eyes clearly told him that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
"Yes."
"Okay, don't be downcast and take good care of your injuries. It won't take long for this injury to heal. Your training should take this time."
Looking at Zhou Chongshan's drooped head, Zhou Xu slowed down his tone and comforted him a little.
“Do you have anything to report when you come here this time?”
"Yes!"
After saying this word, Zhou Chongshan hesitated unconsciously. When Zhou Xu saw this, he immediately knew what was going on.
“Is it about the Crescent Halberd?”
At this moment, Zhou Xu just kept talking to himself.
"At that time, you were riding on a horse, and with the momentum of the war horse, you penetrated the hyena man's body with the crescent halberd. However, when you tried to pull the crescent halberd out of the hyena man's body, you were restricted by the crescent blade and could not pull it out. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu’s eyes fell on Zhou Chongshan’s sprained wrist again.
"Your wrist was injured at that time, right?"
"Yes."
Zhou Chongshan responded in a low voice.
In his opinion, this crescent halberd was a weapon developed by their leader. It would be a bit disrespectful for him to stand up and find fault with it.
But it would make him uncomfortable if he held back the matter...
Looking at Zhou Chongshan's appearance, how could Zhou Xu not know what he was thinking.
After hearing him laugh, he spoke again...
"When the crescent halberd was originally designed, it was for infantry. At that time, we did not have war horses. According to the design at that time, it was impossible for infantry to have such power to penetrate the enemy's body directly."
"Therefore, there is no need to consider the problem that the crescent halberd cannot be pulled out after penetrating the enemy's body, because this problem basically does not occur in infantry combat."
"Under this premise, with the The crescent halberd with the crescent blade can also greatly enrich the infantry's combat methods, thereby improving their combat effectiveness. It is a very suitable infantry combat weapon."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu paused. .
“But once you add mounts and switch to mounted combat, many combat modes will change, such as the charge and thrust you used at that time.”
“And use the crescent halberd to fight. You have also experienced the consequences of charging and thrusting. The crescent halberd is not a weapon prepared for cavalry charges.”
Zhou Chongshan suddenly realized what he said.
It turns out that this is not essentially a problem with the weapon, but a problem with the way he uses the weapon.
"Chongshan, do you still remember what I told you before? You have talent. You are very good at using various weapons. Don't waste this talent."
Clear Zhou Chongshan's 'Weapon Master' talent Zhou Xu had already told him about this matter.
But having said it before, this does not mean that he can get over it immediately.
Although after Zhou Xu became the leader, they quickly enriched their weapon choices, the days when they had no choice in the past made Zhou Chongshan develop some 'bad habits' to some extent.
For example, after he picked up the crescent halberd, he never thought about changing it to something else.
He uses every weapon very neatly, but apart from switching with bows and arrows at long distances, he rarely switches between melee weapons.
In other words, he prefers to solve the problem directly with the weapon in his hand, rather than changing to a more suitable weapon.
Zhou Xu’s words made Zhou Chongshan fall into deep thought again.
"I will ask the forging department to forge a spear that is more suitable for cavalry charges in the future. You should also think more about this issue I told you. Is there anything else? Chongshan?"
Look Looking at Zhou Chongshan who was obviously distracted, Zhou Xu couldn't help but ask again.
After suddenly coming to his senses, Zhou Chongshan hurriedly said...
"Yes, yes! We went out on a mission before and we hunted some hungry wolves. I shot the wolf king and took the body Bring it back, please let the leader decide.”
“Okay, I understand.”
