Liu Chan was actually quite surprised that Li Er would be interested in Miao Dao.
This man who didn't talk much on weekdays often looked bitter and resentful, as if he had a heavy burden on his back.
Liu Chan could tell that he had something serious on his mind, as if he was carrying some kind of blood feud, but in this world, this was nothing unusual.
In addition to Li Er being very enthusiastic about the topic of the Northern Expedition and showing a different enthusiasm than before when Shangyong defeated Cao Jun, this was the first time Liu Chan saw him being interested in anything.
After all, this is a ruthless man who doesn't care about delicious food and beautiful women. Those who don't know better think he is an ascetic.
"This knife is as narrow and long as a seedling, so it is named Miao Dao." Liu Chan took Li's second-hand knife and explained it as before, "The Miao Dao is held with both hands and has the characteristics of a knife and a spear. From the beginning of the design, it was used as a trap.”
As Liu Chan spoke, he held the handle of the knife with both hands, and turned the long and narrow Miao knife on both sides in front of him. Finally, he took a mid-level posture and said: "When using this knife, the hand close to the knife is the fulcrum, and the back hand is at the point of release. The force produced during the knife operation may increase or decrease..."
When using a two-handed knife, the lever principle generated by both hands can be used to not only make the knife power continuous, but also to deliver a powerful blow when necessary.
The attack rhythm is fast and changeable, making it hard to guard against. At the same time, because it is used with both hands, it saves more energy.
The Miao Dao is longer than the Heng Dao, nearly seven feet. When it is used in Liu Chan's hands, coupled with his pair of long arms, it makes the sound of cracking wind when it chops. The power of this blow can be seen. It's much bigger than a one-handed horizontal sword.
"The fighting method of Miao Dao is the split-body sword technique. The body technique is the heaviest, light and agile. The sword technique must be sharp and fierce. Each sword strike must have an indomitable momentum."
Buzz—!
While Liu Chan was explaining, he raised the horizontal sword above his head, assumed an upper stance, and then slashed hard. The movement was simple and without any fancy, but absolutely no one wanted to stand on the path of the sword.
"The power of the Miao sword, if you learn how to do it, can break the enemy's spear and spear battle formation." After Liu Chan said this, he stood up with the sword in his right hand, "Here comes a man with a spear to fight with me."
If it were other soldiers in the army who were unwilling to take on such an unfortunate job, losing too quickly and miserably would show that their training was perfunctory.
But... who dares to win? Don't want to mess around anymore?
However, in the Red Star Army, it was completely the opposite.
"I'm coming!" A chief immediately stepped out.
"No, your martial arts skills are worse than ours, let's do it."
"I said it first!"
"So what? To sparring with the prince, of course you have to have a strong opponent."
"My spear is not bad at all!"
…
Since Liu Chan became busy, he hasn't come to the military camp to practice with them for a while.
Gambling and prostitution are prohibited in the Red Star Army. Among the boring military training, sparring and watching are the most popular "entertainment activities".
The prince often took time to practice with them in person without any pretense, and it was even considered a reserved event.
No one wanted to miss this rare opportunity.
After a short period of confusion, Li Er personally ordered some of the people. These people joined relatively late and had not had much experience like this.
In addition, although Liu Chan didn't care much, Li Er insisted on replacing the spears they held with long wooden sticks used for daily martial arts training.
Swords and guns have no eyesight. The previous scene when Ding Feng and the prince were sparring almost scared his heart out of his mouth. He didn't want any accidents to happen.
"You may come to attack, but don't worry." Liu Chan held the sword in both hands and calmly held a mid-level stance in front of him.
The ten people looked at each other and their chief nodded, and everyone immediately charged forward with sticks in hand!
They moved in unison, advancing and retreating at the same time. Two of the ten long sticks attacked the head, four attacked the chest and abdomen, and two attacked the lower plate. The other two people held the spears in their hands but did not fire, only waiting for Liu Chan to pursue when he dodged sideways.
They cooperated with each other tacitly and attacked fiercely.
Liu Chan couldn't help but nod secretly. After experiencing the baptism of several wars, these soldiers had thoroughly integrated their daily training, and many of them had their own combat experience in their actions.
Let's just say that these two spears that were drawn but not fired were not specially taught by me.
It is the experience they have accumulated in actual combat, which is then summarized and reported to superiors by a commander, who will then promote it to the entire army after inspection.
If the soldiers were not treated "like individuals" on weekdays, I am afraid they would not have such initiative and creativity.
Liu Chan curled up his lips, but this was not a problem for him, an expert with spears.
Liu Chan had seen through their intentions long before they took action and had been preparing for a long time.
At this time, seeing that they had already launched their attacks, they stamped their feet violently. In a blink of an eye, they had retreated nearly a foot away, and the long sticks stopped in front of them.
But Liu Chan's action wasn't over yet. Just when the soldiers wanted to retract their spears for a second attack, he flexed and stretched his legs and flexed forward again.
By leveraging the force on the ground, the twisting of the waist is transmitted to the arm holding the knife. The arms move along with the trend, and the force is amplified through the simple "lever" formed by the hands.
The long and narrow Miao knife drew a beautiful circle in front of Liu Chan, like a bright moon appearing.
"Hi!"
Click, click, click...
He exhaled loudly and slashed with the sharp long knife. None of the ten long sticks were spared, and all of them had one section cut off...
Liu Chan had already followed the direction of the sword and once again raised the long sword over his head in an upper stance. As long as he thrust forward and slashed again, at least one or two people would be killed tragically by the sword.
quiet.
The school grounds were eerily quiet. The ten soldiers on the stage all looked at their wooden sticks that were one section short in a daze, with their mouths open.
Several people who faced Liu Chan broke out in cold sweat. With their keen sense of combat, they could naturally see the fact that they were "already dead".
The scene in front of them was so shocking that the people watching were no better than them on the field. They were all in a daze at this time.
They never knew that a knife could be used like this... It was simply unbelievable.
Liu Chan put down the Miao Dao he held high, and stood up calmly holding the knife again, smiling: "As long as you practice more, even if you can't do what I do, it will be easy to cut off one or two spear shafts."
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, clasping their fists in unison and saying, "The prince is mighty!"
The soldiers had sincere pride on their faces, excited that the prince could achieve such a magical skill.
In fact, this is also the benefit of the Miao Dao made with the new forging technology. If he still used the previous Huanshou Dao, Liu Chan would not be able to break ten spears with one sword.
And Li Er noticed Liu Chan's last words, even ordinary soldiers can break spears with Miao knives as long as they train diligently!
"I wonder what the prince's requirements are for those who practice Miao sword?" Li Er asked.
"Those who are agile and flexible, good at leaping, and good with swords will be given priority."
"yes."
Subsequently, Liu Chan formulated a rough training plan for Miao swordsmen.
In addition to practicing sword swings and basic moves, Miao Daobing pays more attention to jumping and leaping within short distances in terms of physical training.
At this point, the training plans for the three new weapons have been arranged, and the Red Star Army has officially begun a new round of evolution.
Liu Chan was busy training his troops, and others were not idle either.
Following the sleeve armor, Comrade Zhuge Liang, the great part-time inventor, also took advantage of the break in preparing for Liu's ascension to the throne to complete the design of his repeating crossbow and ordered craftsmen to create the first trial sample.
