Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1132: Training
"No need."

Zhou Chongshan shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

Xie Liancheng frowned.

"It's totally fine to make it into a lance or a spear and equip it with spearmen and cavalry!"

As he spoke, Xie Liancheng thought about it again and felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea.

Zhou Chongshan nodded in agreement with Jie Liancheng's words.

"It is possible, but it is not necessary."

The Xianzhen Camp is an all-round force with a series of known arms such as cavalry, sword and shield soldiers, archers, spearmen, etc. They are basically capable of doing everything.

This also allowed Zhou Chongshan, the commander of the Xianzhen Camp, to have a very thorough understanding of each type of military force, not to mention weapons, as he was a master of weapons!
Unlike Jie Liancheng, who focuses on being one man against a thousand men and doesn't care about anything else.

"Spearmen mainly rely on spear formations to exert their combat power. In an environment where spear formations can be formed, there is no need for this three-pointed design and enchantment. In one encounter, the enemy rushing up can be stabbed into a sieve and killed without a doubt. Replacing the spearmen with this is unnecessary and will only increase the cost of training."

"The cavalry relies on group charges to exert their combat power. At the same time, cavalry often enters the battlefield at critical moments. Their tactical thinking is to directly disintegrate the enemy's position with a wave of charges and win the game. Under normal circumstances, regular cavalry units will never stay on the battlefield for a long time, nor will they engage in a tangle with the enemy troops. They will leave after one strike."

Having said that, Zhou Chongshan raised the three-pointed short spear in his hand.

"The characteristic of this weapon is that it can be used in continuous combat. Cavalry and spearmen cannot make use of this characteristic. In other words, they can use it, but the weapon itself is not suitable for them, so there is no need for it."

"As for the unconventional cavalry, the dragoons, in addition to high-speed combat in complex environments such as woodlands, on the main battlefield, they mainly sweep back and forth on the flanks, harvesting and pinning down the enemy's outer forces, and will not easily cut into the battlefield."

"For the dragoons, their frontal charge capability is very limited. They do not have the ability to forcibly break through the enemy formation. If they are equipped with weapons that mainly pierce through, once such weapons penetrate the enemy's body, if they get stuck and cannot be pulled out in time, it will be dangerous."

"Comparatively speaking, the sword can not only avoid this risk, but is also more flexible and handy."

Listening to Zhou Chongshan's explanation, Zhou Xu beside him nodded frequently.

"Chongshan is right."

Thanks to his own understanding of weapons and various arms, Zhou Chongshan made a correct judgment in a short period of time based on this experience.

During this time, Zhou Xu took a chance and made faces at Jie Liancheng.

When Xie Liancheng saw this, he rolled his eyes and was speechless, but he understood what Zhou Xu meant.

Although he and Zhou Chongshan were both military generals, their strengths were different.

Compared to him, whose innate abilities are completely concentrated on individual combat power, Zhou Chongshan's coverage is wider.

At the same time, he had also seen Zhou Chongshan's talent as the 'Weapon Master'.

In this area, Zhou Chongshan is truly gifted.

No matter which weapon he got his hands on, his proficiency would skyrocket like a rocket. After practicing for a short time, the effect would be the same as others who had practiced for more than ten or twenty years. Even he would feel inferior to him.

Zhou Xu called Jie Liancheng over this time, saying it was just a side job, but in fact his main task was to fight Zhou Chongshan. Although Zhou Chongshan had a strong talent for weapons, it would not work just to rely on his imagination with a new weapon. He needed someone who was as strong as him, or even stronger than him, who would not be easily suppressed by him and could keep up with him throughout the fight.

Taking this into consideration, looking at the entire Great Zhou, there is only one suitable candidate, Jie Liancheng.

The two worked hard for a week and soon came up with a preliminary training plan.

During the testing process, the shield was also changed. It was still a medium shield, but it was originally a medium emblem shield. However, after many sparring sessions, Zhou Chongshan still felt that the convex round shield design was better, so he changed it to a medium round shield.

The medium round shield paired with the triangular short spear does give it a bit of the feel of a Spartan warrior.

After Zhou Xu reviewed it, this training plan was officially tried out in some individual units.

It is said to be an individual unit, but in fact it is the Xianzhen Camp.

As the only ace force in their Great Zhou, the greatest feature of the Xianzhen Camp is that it can adjust its equipment and even positioning according to the battle situation or the situation of the enemy forces, thereby establishing a targeted advantage.

In this way, soldiers who can join the Xianzhen Camp must not only be hardworking and diligent, but also have some talent. Without talent, you cannot master so many weapons, not to mention so many supporting tactics.

The training started quickly. In order to master the new weapons as quickly as possible, Zhou Chongshan directly adjusted the daily weapons training program of the Xianzhen Camp and carried out high-intensity intensive training on the new weapons.

After simply improving proficiency, we immediately entered the rotation sparring mode.

The moves of using the Mitsubishi short spear in conjunction with the medium round shield are indeed simple. It is useless to practice this kind of moves just against the air. You must constantly hone and improve them in actual combat.

Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with Zhou Chongshan's idea. After three months of investment, according to the latest report, the soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp have already mastered the new weapons to a decent level.

Zhou Xu was quite satisfied with this progress.

At the same time, after a busy autumn harvest, with the temperature continuing to drop, another winter is about to come.

After almost a quarter of trying, Yalvet finally got pregnant again!

According to the warrior women's own judgment, when Yalvet discovered that she was pregnant, the pregnancy had already been going on for at least one month.

If nothing goes wrong, the child will be born in June or July next year.

The warrior woman was destined to give birth to a girl, but she gave birth to a boy. She also failed to conceive a second child. As time went by, Yalvet's psychological pressure was slowly increasing.

Now that she is pregnant again, she is greatly relieved.

Now it depends on whether the baby in the belly is a boy or a girl.

After learning the news, Zhou Xu also prayed that the baby in Yalvette's belly was a girl.

In this way, as a boy, Zhou Ye's mission in Mistila City was completed. According to the agreement, he could directly leave his son, the god of war, in the Great Zhou.

This is the best outcome for both Zhou Xu and Yalvet.
