Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1131: The Trap Camp

Holding the three-pointed spear in his hand, Zhou Chongshan gestured twice casually and some ideas came to his mind.

"Perhaps it can be used with a medium shield."

In the past, the standard configuration of their Great Zhou sword and shield soldiers was a one-handed small round shield paired with a sword, while the large shield soldiers directly used large shields at the door panel level. In comparison, medium-sized shields that were neither too big nor too small were basically not used.

There are three sizes of shields, with the medium shield being in the middle. It is not as flexible and light as the small round shield, and it is not as defensive as the door panel shield.

But on the other hand, it can also be understood that while its defensive capabilities exceed those of a small round shield, it is also more flexible and lighter than a door panel shield.

Products that are neither good nor bad sometimes tend to perform more comprehensively.

In the past, sword and shield soldiers were equipped with small round shields because they took into account that soldiers used swords on the battlefield, which were mainly used for large swings. A large shield would affect the swinging of the sword to a certain extent.

But the three-pointed short spear, which is mainly used for stabbing, obviously does not have this problem. Its attack trajectory is very narrow and does not require such a large swinging space at all.

Taking this into consideration, upgrading the small round shield to a medium shield to enhance defensive capabilities is undoubtedly a good choice.

Almost at the same time as he came up with this idea, Zhou Chongshan had already picked up a medium-sized shield from the weapon rack beside him and started to practice with it in combination with the three-pointed spear in his hand.

Seeing this, Xie Liancheng, who was standing by, also became interested.

"I'll fight you."

He did not use his trident, but picked up a set of sword and shield equipment. After all, the main discussion this time was the effect that the soldiers could show with this set of equipment.

Inside the courtyard, Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan confronted each other.

Zhou Chongshan took a step forward and took the lead in launching an attack. The three-pointed short spear in his hand carried a fierce momentum and stabbed straight at Jie Liancheng.

Faced with Zhou Chongshan's first attack, Xie Liancheng's first reaction was to avoid it.

Then he soon discovered that in the relatively limited evasive space, the three-pointed short spear that stabbed out from Zhou Chongshan's hand was not only swift but also had an extremely tricky angle, so it was really unrealistic to avoid it completely.

As his thoughts raced, Xie Liancheng swung the small round shield in his hand quickly to block the three-pointed short spear that was thrusting at him. At the same time, he swung the sword in his hand suddenly and chopped straight towards Zhou Chongshan.

However, in the next moment, the medium-sized shield in Zhou Chongshan's hand directly blocked it.

Compared to the small round shield, the medium shield is indeed not as light and flexible, but because the shield area has become larger, its defensive efficiency is not low at all.

To a certain extent, the small round shield even requires higher technical skills and reaction ability from the soldiers, while the defensive ability of the medium shield is more brainless and simple.

Xie Liancheng originally wanted to change his tactics and launch an attack directly bypassing the medium shield's defense, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

[All attack routes are blocked! ]

In the close combat, the defensive capability of the medium shield was infinitely magnified. Simply by blocking it, it was able to block him, which was something the small round shield could not do at all.

With no other choice, the sword in Xie Liancheng's hand collided with the shield.

Immediately afterwards, a force passed through the medium shield and pressed towards him from the front.

[Instead of blocking my sword, he pressed forward? He wanted to compete with me in strength?] This made Xie Liancheng subconsciously choose to exert force, and a momentary stalemate occurred between him and the medium-sized shield that was pressing towards him.

And at this moment, Zhou Chongshan turned sideways behind the medium shield, and the three-pointed short spear in his hand stabbed towards him at an extremely tricky angle like a cunning and poisonous snake that had been dormant for a long time.

This forced Jie Liancheng to block and retreat, which made him quite embarrassed and also made him feel incredible.

In order to better test the actual combat effect of this set of weapons, both of them controlled their strength tacitly. No one mobilized their true energy to strengthen themselves. At the same time, they also abandoned some complicated moves and techniques that ordinary soldiers obviously could not use. To a large extent, they relied solely on their own physical fitness and some simple fighting methods to fight.

In this situation, Xie Liancheng, who could be regarded as the most powerful general in the Great Zhou Dynasty in terms of comprehensive strength, actually fell into a disadvantage at the hands of Zhou Chongshan, which also made him a little overwhelmed.

"My goodness, are you sure the soldiers can use this method?"

As Xie Liancheng spoke, he quickly distanced himself from Zhou Chongshan and started complaining.

Don’t underestimate Zhou Chongshan’s moves, as they seem simple. The key points of these moves are the user’s understanding of the weapons and equipment in his hands, and his control over the timing. Each of Zhou Chongshan’s moves was based on his understanding of his plans and his attack towards his blind spot.

The prerequisite for all this is to have a cool head even in battle.

In other words, you have to fight with your brain.

But when ordinary soldiers go to the battlefield, how can their brains work? Fighting the enemy depends purely on muscle memory. This is also the main reason why the core weapon of the Da Zhou infantry is the thick-backed machete, which is simple and rough, just chop and it's done.

At this moment, facing the doubts from Jie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan said without thinking...

"The Trap Camp can do it."

"..."

In a word, Jie Liancheng was completely defeated.

Their Great Zhou's ace force, the Xianzhen Camp, has every soldier as elite as the elite. Who in the entire Great Zhou doesn't know this?

But the problem is that they only have one Xianzhen Camp in the Great Zhou! You are being a hooligan by mentioning this? !
During this time, Xie Liancheng took the three-pointed short spear and medium-sized shield in his hands and demonstrated the moves he had just made, while thinking for a while in his mind.

"Elite troops can use this as their main weapon, and they can also strengthen their training in this area in normal times."

It has to be said that Zhou Chongshan’s ideas are basically consistent with Zhou Xu’s.

From the very beginning, Zhou Xu planned to assign this three-pointed short spear to elite and ace troops.

What is the key to this three-pointed short spear? The key lies in the ability to stand on the field. For the soldiers equipped with this weapon, Zhou Xu hopes that they can achieve the effect of being able to fight with enemy troops on the battlefield for a long time and form a sustained combat effectiveness.

Ordinary soldiers who can't stand the field are of no use and unnecessary.

After listening to Zhou Chongshan's conclusion, Xie Liancheng, who was speechless for a moment, thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"Then wouldn't it be possible to lengthen the pole and make it into a lance and lance, and equip it with spearmen and cavalrymen?"

However, as soon as this idea came out, Zhou Chongshan shook his head before Zhou Xu could say anything.
