"Lord Lord, the manpower in our village is not very abundant, if a group of young and strong people are transferred out to join the army for training, and concentrate on building weapons and shields, I am afraid that the construction of the guard tower will be greatly delayed......"

"Now everything is mainly focused on building weapons and training soldiers, and the problem of vigilance can be dealt with by making the village police working outside feel more aware on weekdays." Shu Zifeng paused when he said this, and said in a soothing tone: "I know that the transfer of manpower will reduce the efficiency of building weapons and shields, Joseph, you know the most about the affairs in the village, how many people can we draw up and create enough weapons?" ”

When Joseph heard this, he turned to Leonidas with a humble face: "I wonder what kind of weapons you want to train the soldiers to use?" As I said in the forefront, with our current iron reserves and manpower, we can't put iron armor on soldiers, not even fine leather armor inlaid with iron sheets, and there are not many animal skins, and they have to be used to enhance the resistance of wooden shields. ”

Leonidas smiled and replied: "Defense has a large shield can also form a basic military formation, the essence of war is to kill the enemy as quickly as possible, I also know the difficulties in the village, the soldiers I train only need to be able to break the enemy's protection."

In my plan, each soldier needs to be equipped with two javelin spears, one long and one short, one light and one heavy, which can be thrown to kill the enemy, and the array can also be used to erect a phalanx of spears, and I will explain to the blacksmiths how to build it.

Then, each soldier will also need a shield that can cover most of his body and a knife or sword that can kill enemies at close range, and in order to shorten the construction time, it is better to use a single-edged sword, and I will also tell the blacksmiths the specific style.

In this way, our soldiers' formations can throw javelins to break the formation when attacking, even if the enemy on the opposite side is wearing iron armor, they can also use heavy javelins to throw and kill the enemy at close range, disrupt the enemy's infantry formation, and then form a dense infantry phalanx to hold a shield and crash into the scattered enemy formation, avoiding the distance advantage of the enemy's long weapons.

However, I can only guarantee that against the infantry troops, in the face of the cavalry, it will be very weak, even if the real elite super-long spear phalanx against the cavalry, it can only be in a state of passive defense, the advantage of the cavalry over the infantry is too great, especially the cavalry that rushes up, even if it is topped by the tightest infantry dense shield array, it will be knocked away under the huge potential energy of the war horse charge. ”

"You're using the Roman military formation?" After listening to Leonida's explanation, Shu Zifeng subconsciously asked.

"Roman formation? What does Rome mean? The main reason why I used this method to train soldiers was that there were no batches of iron armor in the village, and there were no raw materials to make more iron cold weapons, and there were not many iron materials needed for spears, javelins, and wooden shields, and the only thing that needed to consume a lot of iron to build was the war knife.

This is just a very common way of hand-to-hand infantry fighting, using javelin momentum to break through the formation to kill the enemy when attacking, using a large shield to resist the enemy's strong attack when defending, and preventing my own soldiers from being killed by the enemy's long-range arrows in large numbers, I don't know how to make bows and crossbows, so I can only use javelins instead......"

Shu Zifeng understood that these selected military instructors were not only proficient in the weapon military formation training tutorial that he was good at, but also had the technical knowledge of creating corresponding weapons in his mind, you must know that the blacksmiths in the village would only make simple logging axes and living utensils!

Shu Zifeng did not dwell on the problem that the system characters had not heard of Roman history, but turned his attention to Joseph, Leonidas had already expressed his needs, and presumably the village chief should be able to calculate a balance in his heart.

Villagers who want to train into qualified soldiers in a short period of time must stay in the infantry training camp all day long, after all, what Shu Zifeng needs is a group of real soldiers, not villager farmers who take up arms!

The lack of labor and the sense of urgency to build weapons naturally did not allow Shu Zifeng to train too many of his lords into soldiers, at least, he could not achieve this goal in the short term.

After Joseph noticed Shu Zifeng's gaze, he smiled a little helplessly: "Lord Lord, we haven't collected much iron in this week, if it is used to make a war knife, I'm afraid it will ......

It's better to do this, we have a lot of logging axes in reserve, as long as these logging axes are transformed and reinforced, they can also be used as short weapons in close hand-to-hand combat, and the axe is also quite sharp. ”

Leonida's eyes lit up, and he praised with a fist high-five: "This is a good idea, so that it can save a lot of time to build a war knife, there is enough iron to enhance the lethality of the javelin spear, and I also know a little bit about reinforcing and transforming the logging axe, and replacing the war knife with an axe will not affect the combat effectiveness at all." ”

Shu Zifeng blinked his eyes and looked at the two subordinates in front of him who cooperated tacitly, and somewhat understood why in the history of ancient Europe, the 'Axe Gang' was so popular in the army, and everyone naturally liked the 'universal weapon' that could cut down trees and kill people......

Of course, the most important thing is that the cost is low!

"My lord, in this case, according to my calculations, I can allocate a full 100 people to Leonidas for training, without affecting the productivity of the village territory, and in three weeks, these 100 people will be fully armed as scheduled!" Joseph said to Shu Zifeng with a smile on his face.

"Rest assured, my lord, in three weeks I will train 100 true warriors who are forbidden by order!" Leonida said with a sonorous one-handed thumping of his chest.

Shu Zifeng knows that these 'talents' from the conquest system will not steal and play tricks, as long as they say they can do it, then they will definitely be able to do it, with such a group of subordinates, it is really worry-free.

After a pleasant exchange, Leonidas and Joseph both left the center of the village, while Shu Zifeng continued to seize all the time to keep his body up.

The fact that he was able to cross the realm of flesh and skin and enter the realm of flesh and muscles so quickly was not only the magical auxiliary effect of the Coiling Dragon and Phoenix Heart Method, but also the steely willpower of Shu Zifeng who seized all the time to beat the flesh!

After Joseph and Leonidas left, the system elf couldn't help but ask curiously.

[Shu Zifeng, you are proficient in all kinds of killing moves, and all of them are practical skills honed on the battlefield, why don't you train the soldiers yourself? 】

"My killing moves focus on a person's fighting skills, and they are mastered after years of life and death, even if I am willing to spend effort to train, in a short period of time, those leaders will learn at most a kind of skin, is it easy for you to become a martial arts master? Don't forget, my 'stickers' have already started to be plastered all over Muscovy, and the most important thing to lack now is time! ”
