Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 135 The Crescent Halberd
The vine treatment process itself is not difficult. After he gives instructions, I believe that the equipment department will be able to do it well, but it will take some time.

During this period of time, Zhou Xu certainly couldn't just wait around stupidly. After polishing the first batch of crescent halberds in the forging department, it was time for him to gather the fifteen soldiers and start weapon training.

And doing so will undoubtedly reduce the efficiency of mining copper ore at the mine.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu made an adjustment by directly transferring some of the mining workers from the coal mine to mine copper mines.

On the coal mine side, the long-term mining work has allowed them to accumulate a certain amount of inventory. Even if the mining efficiency of the coal mine is reduced in a short period of time, their tribe still has coal mines that can be used, and it will not cause any substantial impact. .

Under Zhou Xu's mobilization, fifteen soldiers quickly assembled outside the Black Moon Camp.

The new weapons were handed out, and the soldiers could clearly feel that the new weapons were much heavier than the stone axes and spears they used before.

During this period, as the chief instructor of weapon training, Zhou Xu had undoubtedly approached Zhou Zhongshan three days before the official start of the training and talked about the new weapon.

However, in terms of the use of weapons, facing Zhou Zhongshan, the "weapon master", he really didn't have much to say, that is, he briefly introduced the multi-faceted nature of this crescent halberd.

After listening to Zhou Xu's introduction, Zhou Zhongshan plunged into the research on the crescent halberd.

Perhaps due to his talent, Zhou Zhongshan, as a "weapon master", is also very interested in various weapons.

Under the double catalysis of talent and interest, Zhou Zhongshan figured out the usage of this crescent halberd by himself in the past three days.

Now if you want to say that he has perfected this crescent halberd to perfection, it must be far from it. No matter how talented he is, it is not so good.

But Zhou Zhongshan, who was holding a crescent halberd with his gestures, no longer looked like a novice. It was more than enough for Zhou Xu to ask him to teach the recruits in the tribe.

Unlike the previous spear and stone axe, the spear and stone ax were brought out individually. For them, the attack methods could be simplified into two, the former was stabbing, and the latter was chopping.

However, the Crescent Halberd is different. This weapon directly combines the characteristics of these two weapons, and even derives a richer style of play.

It will undoubtedly take a lot of effort for ordinary soldiers to master it and use it flexibly.

After the crescent halberd was assigned, Zhou Xu went to inspect it on the first day of training.

Standing at the forefront of the training team, Zhou Zhongshan waved the crescent halberd, playing like a tiger, and asked the soldiers below to follow him.

But for ordinary soldiers, this situation is basically equivalent to a great master directly showing off his skills, and then asking the disciples below to follow suit.

How can they do this, they can't do it!

Zhou Zhongshan's moves were too fast, too smooth, and too powerful. The same set of movements, let the soldiers below do it, but they seemed to be imitating each other, and each of them seemed to have become uncoordinated with their limbs.

Looking at the 'dancing demons' in front of him, Zhou Zhongshan scratched the back of his head with some headaches. For a while, he didn't know why everyone couldn't learn it.

As for Zhou Xu, who was standing not far away, his head was full of black lines hanging down.

At this moment, he clearly realized a problem that he had ignored before.

Those are the ones who play with their own weapons, and it doesn't mean that they can teach people to be good at teaching.

Faced with all kinds of weapons, even new weapons that he has never used before, the reason why Zhou Zhongshan can get used to them so quickly is because of his extraordinary talent.

But you can't use this talent when teaching people!
Although he had simple training on stone axes and spears for the soldiers before, as mentioned earlier, the attacking skills of these two weapons are simple, so what Zhou Zhongshan taught is also simple, and ordinary soldiers can also keep up.

But now, the crescent halberd's attack has suddenly become complicated, but Zhou Zhongshan is still relying on his own feeling to come casually, and it's a ghost that the ordinary soldiers below can keep up with him.

Zhou Xu was obviously too lazy to wait for Zhou Zhongshan to realize the problem himself.

What he is looking for now is efficiency, how can he waste that time?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu hurriedly beckoned, motioning for his follower Li Shitou to run over and call Zhou Zhongshan over.

Li Shitou's legs were fast, and Zhou Zhongshan ran over immediately after learning that the leader was looking for him.

"Boss, do you need me?"

Regarding this, Zhou Xu didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point...

"Chongshan, your teaching method is wrong. For them, this difficulty is too high. You have to take it apart one by one to teach them."

"..."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhongshan fell into a brief silence. He really wanted to say that he had actually chosen a simple trick to teach them. After all, he still had some brains.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this simple move in his opinion was not simple enough...

Looking at the silent Zhou Zhongshan, he is really not a person who is good at hiding his thoughts, what is in his mind is basically written on his face.

This also made Zhou Xu's tone a little helpless...

"Chongshan, it may be very simple for you, but it may not be easy for them. According to my idea, you can let them follow you to practice straight thrusts and chops, and after a while, they After they have gotten used to it proficiently, teach them to connect the straight thrust and chop."

"I understand."

Zhou Zhongshan nodded directly, expressing that he had understood.

From the current point of view, Zhou Xu did not intend to let Zhou Zhongshan teach those fifteen soldiers more things.

Direct stabbing followed by chopping, hacking followed by straight stabbing, combined with various angles and orientations, it can be learned and used flexibly.

Ordinary soldiers are just ordinary soldiers after all. In Zhou Xu's view, their abilities are limited, and it is almost enough to be able to practice these two skills well.

If you teach them too much, sometimes it will only make them more and more chaotic, don't even be able to do these two things well.

Following their leader's wishes, Zhou Zhongshan led the soldiers below to start training one by one.

During this process, Zhou Zhongshan quickly discovered that even the single straight stab and slash movements, the soldiers had more or less problems with them.

The root cause, to put it bluntly, is that the weapon has changed, the weight of the weapon has changed, and the center of gravity of the weapon has also changed.

While the overall weight of the copper weapon has increased, due to the crescent blade on one side of the crescent halberd, the weight on one side will be significantly heavier, and the center of gravity will also shift.

It is inevitable that the recruits will not get used to it after changing into it, and it will take time to adapt. This is also the main reason why even their limbs become uncoordinated when they continuously wave the crescent halberd, because they have not grasped the shifted center of gravity.

During the intense training of the soldiers, time passed quietly, and with the completion of the construction team at the Black Moon camp, a system prompt sounded in Zhou Xu's mind...

System prompt: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu''s territory 'Black Moon Camp' successfully upgraded to the 'village' level!
