Although Mo Dao is called a sword, its blade is actually sword-shaped with double edges on both sides.
The blade is three feet eight inches long and the handle is five feet long.
Weighing nearly 40 pounds...
Although this 40 pounds is a pound, it would have to be converted into a pound in later generations.
But not everyone can handle a 20-pound guy on the battlefield.
Liu Chan, who had changed from a wooden spear to a pure iron spear, understood this very well. With his own strength and endurance, after changing to new equipment, he still had to save energy in battle, let alone ordinary soldiers.
Paired with Mo Dao, it has its own set of usage and corresponding tactics.
"The name of this sword is Mo Dao, and it is specially designed to defeat the enemy's cavalry." Liu Chan took the long-handled sword from Qian Duo's hand and raised it, saying loudly, "This sword is very heavy and should not be used by those who are not tall and strong." .”
After hearing this, everyone was a little eager to try it. The more weapons that ordinary soldiers can't use, the better their status and treatment will be if they can be used.
Sure enough, Liu Chan followed up and said: "Guyu selects fifty warriors who specialize in Mo Dao warfare. Those selected will receive double their pay and double their daily meat limit!"
If it weren't for the strict military discipline, the crowd would probably have become lively as soon as these words came out. Even now, the warm light in the eyes of the regular soldiers seemed to light up two small flames.
In contrast, the reserve team members could not hide the envy and desire on their faces. Needless to say, the Mo Dao soldiers would naturally choose among the regular soldiers. This time it was not their turn.
And this envy soon turned into a determination to stand out in the next army competition.
Liu Chan turned around and said: "Li Er, select those who are good at strong bows and crossbows to come out. The Mo Dao soldiers who are practicing new tactics this time will come out from these people."
"Yes." Li Er still silently followed Liu Chan's orders without any hesitation.
As soon as these words came out, the archers and crossbowmen in the army who were a little disappointed because they thought this matter had nothing to do with them immediately became elated.
But the warrior who was originally excited to prepare for a big fight and specialized in spears, halberds, swords and shields had his uncontrollable excited smile froze when a basin of cold water was poured on his face.
Liu Chan, who saw the confusion of the soldiers, smiled and said: "When the two armies are fighting, all soldiers are indispensable. This choice of method is due to the special fighting method of Mo Dao. You don't have to be impatient. There are other new weapons, and you will choose them yourself." Warriors practice.”
After listening, they looked at the remaining Heng Dao and Miao Dao, and then they felt a lot more balanced.
Next, Liu Chan will prepare the most correct way to open Mo Dao - melee archers.
That's right, it's this melee archer that sounds counter-logical and counter-intuitive.
This meme, which has been widely circulated on the Internet in later generations, is actually not just a meme.
When Liu Chan gathered Mo Dao, rare military talents in the world, extraordinary strategic talent, and Zhuge Liang's military education, he once glanced at "The Art of War of the Great Tang Wei Gong Li Jing" in the library during the summer vacation of his sophomore year. ", gradually became clear in my mind.
But he didn't read it carefully at the time, so naturally he couldn't recall the complete version.
However, the few words and fragments of sentences that he could recall had already revealed Mo Daobing's true appearance in front of Liu Chan.
The most powerful melee crossbow soldier in history is actually the famous Mo Dao soldier.
It is not that Modao cannot be used alone. In history, it is not uncommon for Modao teams to simply equip Modao.
But only Modao soldiers equipped with crossbows, or crossbowmen equipped with Modao, can exert their greatest power when facing cavalry charges.
Soon, soldiers who specialized in crossbows were gathered in the army. According to Liu Chan's idea, the Red Star Army started with "multi-functional" training. The last adaptation focused on "one-specialized" training.
And this equipment update will bring out the maximum effect of this multi-purpose advantage!
This is also the fundamental reason why Liu Chan insisted on a comprehensive training method before - he was gradually evolving this army in a planned way.
Although a single training may be quick, it will never complete this evolution.
If a crossbowman has not experienced previous weapons training, battle formation training, physical fitness and strength training, he will not be able to finally transform into a real Mo Dao soldier.
Next, Liu Chan conducted a preliminary screening of these soldiers. The screening method was also very simple - the one who could continuously wield the Mo Dao for a longer period of time was the best.
In fact, it is a comprehensive screening of strength and endurance, and the top fifty are the ideal candidates for the Modao team.
The strength of the crossbowmen is not bad. In fact, the reason why the generals are unwilling to let the archers fight hand-to-hand is not because they don't have the ability, but because they feel distressed.
The training cost and cycle of archers are much higher than that of ordinary infantry.
In addition, heavy armor and melee weapons will greatly affect the shooting accuracy of the archers, so it became what it looked like in the impression.
The Mo Dao military tactics recorded in "The Art of War of the Duke of Wei" largely make up for these shortcomings.
In addition, although the training cost of archers is high, it is not as good as the real loser - cavalry.
It's definitely not a loss to use this kind of Mo Dao soldiers to fight cavalry.
Among the generals, there are many people who are interested in Mo Dao, but the one with the best talent is somewhat beyond Liu Chan's expectations - he has more money.
This man was also one of Liu Chan's first regular soldiers. He was loyal, fearless, and very strong. He even had good running speed and endurance, and his crossbow's accuracy was not weak.
Moreover, because of his natural strength, he can shoot strong bows that others cannot, and hard crossbows that others cannot use.
But compared with other outstanding soldiers, there is always something special missing.
Qian Duo did not have Li Er's calmness and tactical thinking, nor Wang Meng's calmness and decisiveness. Even the later Hu Li, Ding Feng and others also had their own strengths and came from behind.
They were all brothers, living and eating together, and he had no grudge against them.
But it is impossible to say that he has no ideas at all, but Qian Duo, who is not very smart, only knows life-threatening training and cannot think of any other good ideas.
But at this time, he finally ushered in his own light...
"Hahaha!"
The others were already exhausted, but Qian Duo was still wielding the heavy Mo Dao in an unorganized manner. The style of the knife was so chaotic that it was almost useless, but it still looked powerful because of its weight and sharpness.
No one wants to get close to Qian Duo at this time, even if he looks a bit silly when he laughs...
The most important thing is that no one else is wearing armor, but he is still wearing the war armor that he secretly put on before. No matter how light it is, it is still a metal armor after all.
Liu Chan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw the money.
No one is perfect, but everyone has something they are good at.
Putting the right people in the right positions and allowing them to fully demonstrate their strengths is one of the responsibilities of a qualified leader.
Obviously, the most suitable location for money has been found.
"Okay! Put it down quickly, Mo Dao will make you act like a hoe! Do you want to plow the land?" Liu Chan laughed and scolded.
Qian Duo then stopped as he was told. It was cold in spring, but sweat was dripping on his forehead, and bursts of white air rose above his head.
"Hehe." Qian Duo wiped his sweat, "Even if we go to plow the land, we still have to bury Cao's soldiers in the ground first to make fertilizer!"
"How many Cao soldiers can be buried in these two times? Here comes the sword, I will teach you how to use this guy." Liu Chan stretched out his hand, and Qian Duo hurriedly offered Mo Dao with both hands.
Picking up the Mo Dao, Liu Chan took a deep breath and recalled the Mo Dao skills he had tried to summarize these days.
Fortunately, although Mo Dao is called a "sword", it seems... to be classified under the category of "long soldier".
Otherwise, Liu Chan would not be able to do this with his talent of only acceptable swordsmanship.
"Hey!" With a low voice, Liu Chan twisted his waist, and the Mo Dao blade swiped across him, buzzing as if it wanted to tear the air in front of him.
Wrong leg, twist waist, spin body.
These three movements are the three most critical movements that Liu Chan summarized based on the description of the use of Mo Dao in his scattered memories.
The most important thing in playing Modao is not arm strength, but waist strength.
At this time, Liu Chan was like a dangerous top. The blade was spinning continuously as his body rotated, and the gleaming blade seemed to form a silver dragon, roaring around him!
The soldiers swallowed silently. If anyone dared to approach the prince at this time... it would be exciting to think about it.
Qian Duo was even more stunned. Is this really the same thing as the one he played just now? !
