Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Holding the three-pointed short spear in his hand, Zhou Chongshan gestured twice casually, and some ideas came to his mind.

"Maybe it can be used with a medium-sized shield."

In the past, the standard configuration of their Great Zhou sword and shield soldiers was a one-handed small round shield with a war sword, and the large shield soldiers directly used a large shield at the door plate level. In comparison, the medium-sized shield, which was neither too big nor too small, was basically not used.

Among the three sizes of shields, the medium shield was stuck in the middle. It was not as flexible and light as the small round shield, and it was not as defensive as the door plate shield.

However, on the other hand, it can also be understood that while its defensive ability exceeded that of the small round shield, it was more flexible and light than the door plate shield.

Products that are neither good nor bad sometimes often perform more comprehensively.

In the past, sword and shield soldiers were equipped with small round shields because they took into account that the soldiers used war swords on the battlefield, which were mainly open and closed. A large shield would affect the swinging of the war sword to a certain extent.

But the three-pointed short spear, which is mainly used for stabbing, obviously does not have this problem. Its attack trajectory is very narrow and does not require such a large swinging space at all.

Considering this, upgrading the small round shield to a medium shield to improve defense capabilities is undoubtedly a good choice.

Almost at the same time when this idea was proposed, Zhou Chongshan had already picked up a medium shield from the weapon rack beside him and started to fight with the three-pointed short spear in his hand.

Seeing this, Xie Liancheng on the side also became interested.

"I'll fight with you."

Instead of using his three-pointed double-edged sword, he picked up a set of sword and shield equipment. After all, the main discussion this time was the effect that the soldiers could show with this set of configuration.

In the courtyard, Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan confronted each other.

Zhou Chongshan took a step forward and took the lead in launching an offensive. The three-pointed short spear in his hand brought a sharp momentum and stabbed directly at Xie Liancheng.

Facing Zhou Chongshan's first attack, Xie Liancheng's first reaction was to avoid it.

Then he soon discovered that in the relatively limited avoidance space, the three-pointed short spear stabbed from Zhou Chongshan's hand was not only swift, but also extremely tricky at an angle. It was really unrealistic to completely avoid it.

As his thoughts raced, Xie Liancheng quickly swung the small round shield in his hand, forcibly blocking the three-pointed short spear that was stabbing at him. At the same time, he swung the sword in his hand and chopped it straight towards Zhou Chongshan.

However, in the next moment, Zhou Chongshan's medium shield directly blocked it.

Compared with the small round shield, the medium shield is indeed not as light and flexible, but because the shield area has become larger, the defensive efficiency is not low at all.

In fact, to a certain extent, the small round shield has higher technical requirements and reaction ability for soldiers, while the defensive ability of the medium shield is more brainless and simple.

Xie Liancheng originally wanted to change his moves and directly bypass the medium shield's parry to launch an attack, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

[All the offensive routes were blocked! ]

In that close combat, the defensive ability of the medium shield was infinitely magnified, and simply blocking it there achieved the blocking of him, which the small round shield could not do at all.

With no other choice, the sword in Xie Liancheng's hand collided with the shield.

Then, a force directly passed through the medium shield and pressed towards him from the front.

[Didn't choose to block my sword, but pressed from the front? Are you trying to compete with me in strength? ]

This situation made Xie Liancheng subconsciously choose to exert force, and formed a momentary stalemate with the medium shield that was pressing towards him.

And at this moment, behind the medium shield, Zhou Chongshan turned sideways, and the three-pointed short spear in his hand was like a cunning and venomous snake that had been dormant for a long time, stabbing at him at an extremely tricky angle.

This forced Xie Liancheng to block and retreat, making him quite embarrassed and making him feel incredible.

Although in order to better test the actual combat effect of this set of weapons, both of them controlled their strength very tacitly, and no one mobilized the true qi to strengthen themselves. At the same time, some complex moves and techniques that ordinary soldiers obviously could not use were also abandoned. To a large extent, they relied purely on their physical fitness and some simple fighting methods to fight.

In this state, Xie Liancheng, who was considered the first fierce general of the Great Zhou Dynasty in terms of comprehensive strength, was actually at a disadvantage in the hands of Zhou Chongshan, and he was also a little bit overwhelmed.

"Good guy, are you sure that the soldiers can use this method?"

Xie Liancheng said while quickly distanced himself from Zhou Chongshan and complained.

Although Zhou Chongshan's one or two moves were very simple, the key points of these moves were the user's understanding of the weapons and equipment in his hands and the control of the timing. Zhou Chongshan saw through his methods and attacked his blind spot directly.

The premise of all this is to have a head that can still remain calm in battle.

In other words, you have to fight with your brain.

But when ordinary soldiers go to the battlefield, how can their brains work? Fighting the enemy depends purely on muscle memory, which is also the main reason why the core weapon of the Great Zhou infantry is the thick-backed machete, which focuses on a simple and rough approach, just chop and it's done.

At this moment, facing the doubts from Xie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan said directly without thinking...

"The Xianzhen Camp can do it."

"..."

In one sentence, Xie Liancheng was completely unable to do it.

Their Great Zhou's trump card unit, the Xianzhen Camp, each soldier in it is the elite of the elite, who in the entire Great Zhou doesn't know this?

But the problem is that their Great Zhou only has one Xianzhen Camp! You mention this, isn't that a hooligan? !

During this period, Jie Liancheng took the three-pointed short spear and medium-sized shield in his hand and demonstrated his previous moves and styles, and at the same time pondered for a while in his heart.

"Elite troops, use this as the main weapon, and strengthen this area of ​​training at ordinary times."

It must be said that Zhou Chongshan's ideas are basically in line with Zhou Xu.

From the beginning, Zhou Xu planned to allocate this three-pointed short spear to elite troops and trump card troops.

What is the key to this three-pointed short spear? The key lies in the ability to stand on the field. For the soldiers equipped with this weapon, Zhou Xu hopes that they can achieve the effect of being able to fight with the enemy troops on the battlefield for a long time and form a continuous combat effectiveness.

Ordinary soldiers who can't stand on the field can't use it, and there is no need.

Listening to Zhou Chongshan's judgment, Xie Liancheng, who was speechless for a moment, thought about it and added another sentence.

"Then lengthen the pole, make it into a long spear, and equip it with spearmen and cavalry, isn't it also possible?"

However, as soon as this idea came out, Zhou Chongshan shook his head before Zhou Xu said anything.
