Chapter 269: The Strongest Melee Archer

Mo knife, although the name is a knife, in fact, the blade is sword-shaped, with double edges on both sides.

The blade is three feet eight inches long, and the handle is five feet long.

Weighs nearly 40 pounds......

Although these 40 catties are Han catties, they should be discounted in half when they are exchanged for the catties of later generations.

But not everyone can play a 20-pound thing on the battlefield.

Liu Chan, who changed from a wooden pole spear to a pure iron spear, has a deep understanding of this, with his own strength and endurance, after changing to new equipment, he still has to calculate and save physical strength in battle, let alone ordinary soldiers.

With Mo knife, it has its own set of usage, as well as corresponding tactics.

"This knife is called Mo Dao, and it is designed for riding on foot enemies." Liu Chan took the long-handled broadsword in Qian Duo's hand and raised it, and said in a loud voice, "This knife is very heavy, and those who are not tall and strong cannot practice and use it." ”

Everyone was a little eager to try it, the more weapons that ordinary soldiers can't play, if they can use it, the better the status and treatment will be.

Sure enough, Liu Chan then said: "I want to choose fifty warriors, specialize in Mo knife warfare, and those who are selected will be paid twice and the daily meat limit will be doubled!" ”

If it weren't for the strict military discipline, it is estimated that the following would be lively as soon as this statement came out, and even now, the warm light in the eyes of the regular army soldiers was like two small flames.

On the other hand, there is the envy and eagerness that the reserves can't hide on their faces, no need to ask, this Mo sword soldier will naturally be selected among the regular army soldiers, this time it will not be their turn.

And this envy was quickly transformed into a determination to stand out in the next all-army competition.

Liu Chan turned his head and said: "Li Er, those who are good at strong bows and crossbows will come out of the ranks, and the Mo sword soldiers who are practicing new tactics this time will come out of these people." ”

"Yes." Li Er still silently carried out Liu Chan's order without any hesitation.

As soon as these words came out, the army thought that this matter had nothing to do with them, and the crossbowmen, who were a little disappointed, immediately became elated.

And the warrior who was originally full of interest and was ready to do a big job, specializing in spears, halberds, swords and shields, the irrepressible excitement and smile were splashed on his face by a basin of cold water.

Liu Chan, who saw the doubts of the soldiers, said with a smile: "When the two armies are fighting, all the soldiers are indispensable, and the choice of this method is due to the special method of Modao warfare. You don't have to be anxious, there are still other new weapons, and you will choose warriors to practice from them. ”

After listening to it, they looked at the remaining horizontal knives and Miao knives, and then they felt a lot of balance in their hearts.

Next, Liu Chan is going to prepare the most correct way to open the Mo Knife - melee archers.

That's right, it's this melee archer who sounds illogical and counter-common sense.

This meme, which has been widely circulated on the Internet for later generations, is actually not just a meme.

When Liu Chan collected all the Mo Dao, the talent for managing the army, the talent for military management that is rare in the world, the talent for strategy, and Zhuge Liang's education in the art of war, the "Art of War" that he glanced at in the library during the summer vacation of his sophomore year gradually became clear in his mind.

But he didn't look at it carefully at the time, and naturally he couldn't recall the full version.

However, the only words and fragments that can be remembered have already put the true appearance of the Mo Dao soldiers in front of Liu Chan.

The strongest melee crossbow soldier in history is actually the famous Mo Sword Soldier.

It is not impossible to use the Mo knife alone, and it is not uncommon for the Mo knife team to be simply equipped with the Mo knife in history.

But only a crossbow soldier equipped with a crossbow, or a crossbow soldier equipped with a Mo sword, can make it exert its maximum power in the face of cavalry charges.

Soon, the soldiers in the army who specialized in bows and crossbows were assembled, and the Red Star Army was established according to Liu Chan's idea, starting with "multi-ability", and the last reorganization focused on the training of "one specialty".

And this equipment update will give full play to the advantages of this kind of multi-ability in one specialty!

This is also the fundamental reason why Liu Chan insisted on a comprehensive training method in the past - he was planning to gradually evolve this army.

Although a single training session is quick, it will never complete this evolution.

If the crossbowman has not undergone previous weapon training, battle formation training, physical and strength training, he will not be able to finally transform into a real sword soldier.

Next, Liu Chan conducted a preliminary screening of these soldiers, and the method of screening was also very simple - the time of continuous wielding of the Mo knife was preferred.

In fact, it is a comprehensive screening of strength and endurance, and the top 50 are the ideal candidates for the Modao team.

The strength of the crossbowmen is not bad, in fact, the reason why the generals are reluctant to let the archers go to hand-to-hand combat is not because they do not have this ability, but because they are distressed.

The cost and cycle of training archers are much higher than those of ordinary infantry.

In addition, heavy armor and melee weapons will greatly affect the shooting accuracy of archers, so it has become the impression of it.

The Modao Soldier Tactics recorded in the "Weigong Military Law" largely make up for these shortcomings.

In addition, although the cost of training archers is high, it is not as good as the real loser - cavalry.

It is absolutely not a loss to use this kind of strange sword soldiers to fight cavalry.

Among the generals, there are many people who are interested in Modao, but the person with the best real talent is a little beyond Liu Chan's expectation - there is a lot of money.

This person was also Liu Chan's first batch of regular soldiers, he was loyal enough, brave and fearless, and had great strength, even his running speed and endurance were very good, and the aim of the bow and crossbow was not weak.

Moreover, because of his natural strength, he can open a strong bow that others can't open, and a hard crossbow that makes others immobile.

But compared to the best of the rest of the army, there is always something special missing.

Qian Duo did not have Li Er's calm and tactical thinking, nor did he have Wang Meng's calm and resoluteness, and even the later Hu Li, Ding Feng and others also had their own strengths, and the latter came first.

They are all brothers in the same room, they eat and live together, and he has no envy towards them.

But to say that he has no idea in his heart, it is impossible, but Qian Duo, who is not smart in his brain, only knows how to train hard, and can't think of any other good way.

But at this time, he finally ushered in his own light......

"Hahaha!"

The others had long since lost their physical strength, and Qian Duo was still wielding the heavy Mo knife in an orderly manner, the knife style was so messy that there were almost none, but it still looked like a tiger because of its weight and sharpness.

No one wanted to get close to Qian Duo at this time, even if he looked a little silly when he laughed......

The most important thing is that no one else is wearing armor, but he is still wearing the armor that he secretly put on his body before, even if it is light, it is a metal armor after all.

Liu Chan looked at Qian Duo's appearance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

No one is perfect, but in the same way, everyone has something they are good at.

Putting the right person in the right place and letting them make the most of their strengths is one of the responsibilities of a qualified person.

Obviously, the most suitable location for a lot of money has been found.

"That's it! Hurry up and put it down, and make you play like a hoe! Do you want to go to the farm? Liu Chan scolded with a smile.

Qian Duo stopped as he said, the spring was cold, but sweat was already dripping on his forehead, and bursts of white gas rose above his head.

"Hey, hey." Qian wiped his sweat, "Even if you go to plough the land, you have to bury Cao Bing in the ground as fertilizer!" ”

"Just these two times, how many Cao soldiers have been buried? Come on, I'll teach you how to use this guy. As soon as Liu Chan stretched out his hand, Qian Duo hurriedly offered Mo Dao both hands.

Picking up the Mo knife, Liu Chan took a deep breath and recalled the Mo knife technique that he had tried to summarize over the past few days.

Fortunately, although the name of the Mo knife is "knife", it seems to be ...... It is classified as a "long soldier".

Otherwise, with Liu Chan's sword technique, he only has a decent talent, but he can't do this.

"Hey!" With a low shout, Liu Chan's waist twisted, and the blade of the Mo knife slashed, humming nonstop, as if he wanted to tear the air in front of him.

Wrong legs, twist the waist, twist the body.

These three actions are the three most critical actions that Liu Chan summarized according to the description of the use of the Mo knife in his scattered memory.

The most important thing in playing Modao is not arm strength, but waist strength.

At this time, Liu Chan was like a dangerous big spinning top, the knife momentum was endless in the rotation of his body, and the cold and shining blades seemed to be connected into a silver dragon, roaring around him!

The warriors swallowed silently, if anyone dared to approach the prince at this time...... It's exciting to think about.

Qian Duo was even more dumbfounded, this is really the same thing as what he played just now?!
