Chapter 63: Emergencies
Probably because he instructed Cheng Hui to use a spear in the game last time, he inexplicably thought that I should have some knowledge in weapon strikes, and asked me again for advice on the use of dual weapons.
The problem is that even though I have a lot of miscellaneous studies, I mainly focus on fist and foot kung fu, and I don't have much practical experience in martial arts.
Naturally, I have more exposure to cold weapons than my junior disciples who only specialize in taekwondo, but I haven't worked this, and I just know the basics of using some rough equipment.
China has always had extremely strict control over knives and weapons, and as a good law-abiding citizen, it is natural that he will not put more effort into weapons...... In fact, I don't like to carry extra items on my body at all, to put it nicely is free and easy, and if it is ugly, it is lazy, so isn't it a waste of my time and energy to learn to fight weapons?
However, I am also a person who has read more than 10,000 books, and I have read some miscellaneous things, plus I have a basic understanding of the use of various instruments, and I can still give some advice to my junior brother.
"Your right hand scimitar and left hand short sword, in practical application should be the scimitar main attack, and the short sword should be the main defense and attack; However, once it fights closely, it will be changed to the main attack of the short sword, and the scimitar will contain the ......"
While instructing him on the key points of using weapons, his thoughts slipped unconsciously.
At the time of the Open Beta of Magic World, my character was a human paladin.
Paladins are slightly inferior to warriors in hand-to-hand combat, but high-level paladins can use low-level divine arts, as well as some special god-given abilities. For example, a level 5 paladin can summon a mount from the Celestial Realm that is intellectually powerful, strong, and loyal. This mount has abilities that ordinary creatures don't have, making it a paladin's right-hand man. Therefore, every paladin above level 5 must also be an excellent knight.
In cavalry warfare, the most powerful weapon for cavalry charges is the cavalry lance. When riding a mount to sprint, the 3-meter-long Mounted Rifle deals twice as much damage as usual. Its potential can easily pierce the best shields and heavy armor like parchment, turning heavily protected warriors into skewers. However, the rifle was too long and bulky, making it completely unsuitable for hand-to-hand combat. And when charging with a cavalry gun, you must be completely straight at the target, as long as there is a slight distance horizontally, the war horse rushes, stabbed at others, if the protection is good, the other party may be fine, and the rebound force must break your own arm. The countermeasure is to rely on the impulse of the rifle itself, and release your hand when you hit the target, so as not to hurt yourself.
Not to mention that the riding gun is difficult to use, not everyone can use it well, it is not suitable for hand-to-hand combat and the characteristics of being abandoned after a charge, and it is destined not to become the main weapon.
The scimitar has been used in reality for a long time by horse warriors around the world. A slash from a curved blade can wreak havoc, and the victim will be incapacitated even if he or she does not die. When fighting against infantry, the curved shape of the sword ensures that the hilt does not fall out of the hand while the cavalry delivers heavy blows. When the enemy is also cavalry, it can also play a good offensive and defensive performance. For a warrior straddling a horse, the chopping motion is much easier than the unnatural stabbing motion.
But in "Magic World", the scimitar is definitely an unpopular weapon. The scimitar's slash is indeed a threat to opponents wearing only leather armor or worse, but the effect of the slash is greatly reduced against metal armor with more than chain mail protection, and it is almost no threat to opponents wearing full-body armor, and it is easy to damage the blade on the metal armor surface.
So, the weapon I used most often in cavalry was the longsword, a straight-edged weapon that stabbed and slashed. Straight thorns are easier to pierce armor, and even if they slip through the surface of the armor, they may taste blood through the cracks in the steel. The combination of slashing properties makes the longsword also useful in group battles. Moreover, the long sword weighs almost 2 kilograms, and can be wielded with one hand with the shield, thus providing additional protection for the shield.
Of course, it is well known that the most competent against steel armor are heavy weapons such as axes, maces and tomahawks, and the heavy sword, which is similar in appearance to the longsword, but longer in length, weighing up to 5 kilograms, not only has the performance of the longsword, but also has a higher lethality. The problem is that strength is not the most important attribute of a paladin, and if they are not strong enough to use the aforementioned weapons, they will not be able to use them to their full potential. Compared to fighters who are proficient in various combat specialties and berserkers who can go berserk, the Paladin is better suited to both offense and defense, so I also use the sword and shield mode in foot combat.
Now my character is a Dark Elf Warrior who also uses Sword and Shield mode, and although I carefully considered the initial weapon selection and made a more conservative but correct decision, it was inevitably influenced by the Paladin's habitual thinking during the open beta.
Fighters have more combat specialties...... Perhaps, something more personalized could be made.
"Senior brother, will you fight against me?"
“…… Do you want to take advantage of others? I asked with a smile on my face. Although my breath was out of breath, my legs and feet were still sore.
"How so!" The junior brother denied with a smile, "I just think you should recover after resting for so long." ”
But suddenly, "Oops! "A bang.
"What's wrong?"
The junior brother quickly covered his mouth and sneakily glanced around. The students next to him were shouting and practicing loudly, completely covering up the not too loud exclamations of the junior and younger brothers, and no one noticed this.
"My communicator called the police, as if there was an emergency." The junior brother whispered.
"In-game?" I willingly asked. The characters in the game will be taken over by simulated intelligence after the player leaves the game, but after all, simulated intelligence can only make some simple judgments, and the situation is ever-changing, and the judgment of simulated intelligence may not be agreed by the player himself, so the game can be set to connect with his communicator, and if the emergency exceeds the range set in advance, the player in reality will be notified.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know...... It's weird, my character is supposed to be resting......"
"Do you want to go back to the game?"
“…… No, it's not good, it's in practice now......" He rejected my offer.
Cheng Hui stood aside and kicked the sandbag, but his movements were less coordinated than usual, and he was obviously unsettled.
I looked at it for a while and couldn't help but persuade: "...... Forget it, you can't concentrate right now. ”
"Who said that, I'm obviously practicing very seriously!" He retorted, shouting and kicking the sandbag away.
But after a while, he couldn't help but ask me, "You say, if you quit halfway through practice, will the coach be angry?" ”
“…… It's okay, we're not those beginners, we can practice freely, if you have to be more diligent in the future, the coach won't have an opinion. ”
"It's not enough, push your crotch out, kick your leg higher! Kick it again...... Get out of the leg quickly, close the leg faster! ”
Peeking at the coach who was tossing and tying up all kinds of colored imps on the other side, Cheng Hui didn't even change the clothes he wore when he practiced, he took his clothes and things from the locker and ran away.
Uh~ I want to run too, after all, the character of the junior brother is in the same city as me, although my communicator didn't call the police, but I can't be sure what happened to Demon Blade City. But my legs are so sore, so let's rest for a while.
