"Pu Dao is also called a two-handed belt!" Liu Wei walked towards the commander's barracks in the barracks, and said to Zhou Cang, who was following behind: "The use method is the same as the broadsword, but it also has a characteristic, due to the short handle of the knife, it is also possible to chop with a knife in one hand, and it can be used with a shield in combat." ”

"In this way, the last general only needs to teach the soldiers how to use the broadsword." Following behind Liu Wei, Zhou Cang frowned slightly and said, "But how can the spear be used?" ”

"Whether it's a sword or a spear, there are formations, and I'll teach you the formations later." Turning his head to look at Zhou Cang, Liu Wei dropped his sentence and walked straight to the boss's barracks.

The Pu knife is a kind of blade often used by the folk warriors of the Song Dynasty, because it resembles a big knife, the power is not much smaller than the big knife, and it is easy to carry, it is very favored by the people of the Song Dynasty.

The blade that would appear more than a thousand years later would not have been known to people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Wei had been somewhat interested in ancient blades in the past, and he also knew that the lethality of this weapon on the battlefield was much higher than that of long swords, so he ordered Zhou Cang to find someone to build it.

As for the spear, he followed the template of the European medieval spear array, but the European spear array was mainly used against the ironclad cavalry.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, although the cavalry was equipped with saddles, they were not equipped with stirrups. It is not easy to maintain balance when galloping quickly on horseback, and cavalry is mostly used to flank or carry out small-scale attacks, and is rarely used for large corps to charge and kill.

In the context of the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, the real meaning of the spear was not practical, and it was precisely for this reason that Liu Wei shortened the length of the spear, which should have been six or seven meters long, was shortened to three meters by him, and the conical copper cap at the end of the spear was used to facilitate insertion into the earth, which was also changed to a round shape by him.

When they arrived at the door of the commander's barracks, the soldiers who followed Liu Wei were lined up on both sides, and Liu Wei led Zhou Cang straight into the house.

"The Pu knife has strong slashing power, and the Pu knife array is used to chop and charge!" After entering the house, Liu Wei walked to the main seat and sat down, first made a gesture to Zhou Cang, and only after Zhou Cang sat down did he say: "The long sword is light and easy to carry, it is quite convenient to climb the city wall or in areas with complex terrain, and the sword array will be used to break through the city defense or surprise the enemy army in the future." As for the spear, it was a sharp weapon for field defense, and the spear array was lined up for defense, and the enemy could not get close to it. ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei stood up again, walked to the wall, took down a round shield hanging on the wall, and said to Zhou Cang: "The three formations all require shields, the inside of the shield is covered with iron, and the outside is made of solid wood. In addition, create a one-foot-long short sword for everyone in the whole army, and equip it with you! ”

"No!" Looking at Liu Wei with a shield in his hand, Zhou Cang responded, muttering in his heart, unable to figure out how Liu Wei knew the use of these two strange blades.

"The training of the soldiers will be handed over to you!" Hanging the shield on the wall again, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang: "The military advisor may return in a few days, and then let him see a mighty army that will win and conquer!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured!" Zhou Cang stood up, clasped his hands into fists and said to Liu Wei: "After the blades have been built in the past two days, the last general will lead the soldiers to train new tactics. ”

"After the first batch of blades is issued, all the old blades are recovered and handed over to the blacksmith to build." Liu Wei nodded, raised his feet and walked outside the house, and when he was about to the door, he turned around and said to Zhou Cang: "In addition, hand over all the iron tools that can be collected to the blacksmith." The soldiers were also given a better meal, and when they were resting, they had to be able to eat hot meals every day, and meat was required for their meals. ”

"No!" Zhou Cang answered again and followed Liu Wei out of the coach's barracks.

After leaving the commander's barracks, Liu Wei did not leave immediately, but walked around the barracks, looked at the residences of the officers and soldiers, and then led a team of personal soldiers to leave the barracks.

In the barracks, he didn't see Tao Hu and those Bishan villagers who had just joined the army, thinking that they should have been taken south by Xu Shu to cross the Yellow River.

The army was stationed in Dayang City, and although Liu Bianqiang ordered the officers and soldiers not to plunder the people, he did not have the idea of vigorously developing Dayang, and he did not even go to the prison to see the Dayang officials and soldiers who were imprisoned.

At present, his strength is not strong enough, and choosing a certain city to be stationed will only weaken the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers and make this army that has just boosted its morale depressed.

The combat strength of an army is not only to have weapons that are more advanced than others, but also to go through the polishing of war.

Liu Wei had already made a plan in his heart, once Xu Shu returned to Dayang and issued new weapons to the officers and soldiers, he immediately waved his army north to attack the Baibo army.

On the other hand, Xu Shu led his troops across the Yellow River and attacked Dong Zhuo's army escorting the migrants at Caoyang Pavilion, and ordered more than a dozen soldiers to lead the people they saved to cross the river from Maojin Ferry to Dayang.

Sending away the first batch of rescued people, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, two generals, led the officers and soldiers to rush straight to Shaanxi County.

In Dayang City, Liu Wei would go to the barracks every day to watch the officers and soldiers practice tactics. The first batch of blades was delivered, and Liu Wei personally taught the officers and soldiers how to use the simple knife and spear.

At first, the officers and men were not very accustomed to these two new types of weapons, but after two days of training, they gradually mastered their habits, and the battle formations and the use of weapons were somewhat decent.

"Your Highness, there are more than a dozen brothers and thousands of people from outside the city, and the brothers said that they were the military advisors who asked them to send the people to Dayang." Standing on the high platform of the school yard to watch the drills of the officers and soldiers, a pro-soldier in the audience jumped on the high platform and whispered a message to Liu Wei with his fists in his fists after listening to the whispers of a soldier who had just run in from outside the barracks.

Hearing that thousands of people had come to Dayang, Liu Wei's brows tightened.

Although there is a lot of grain and grass in Dayang, if the people come here in an endless stream, the consumption of grain and grass will inevitably be not small, and the grain and grass that was originally enough for the officers and soldiers to eat will be exhausted after not being distributed many times.

After a slight sigh, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang behind him: "Yuanfu, you continue to watch the soldiers practice, and this king will go to the city to have a look." ”

"No!" Zhou Cang responded, took two steps forward, and stood where Liu Wei was standing just now, while Liu Wei jumped off the high platform, led a team of personal soldiers straight out of the barracks, and walked briskly in the direction of the city gate.

On the city wall, Liu Wei looked down at the city with both hands on the battlements, and saw a black and crushed ragged people standing outside the city, looking up at the officers and soldiers on the city wall pitifully.

The situation of the common people is very miserable, almost everyone is not clothed, many of them have torn clothes into strips of cloth, many women's upper clothes are torn into rags, and the tattered strips of cloth cannot even completely cover the unique hillocks of women.

Seeing the miserable situation of the people, Liu Wei frowned, and asked the more than ten soldiers standing under the city, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" Hearing Liu Wei's question, an officer under the city responded with a fist: "The military advisor led us to raid Caoyang Pavilion and intercepted and killed a team of thieves, and these people were rescued from Caoyang Pavilion." ”

"Let them into town!" After listening to the officer's words, Liu Wei turned his head and said to a personal soldier who followed behind him: "Order the soldiers guarding the city to keep a strict watch, don't let the people wander around, and find a place for them to live as soon as possible." ”

"No!" The soldiers answered, turned around and ran down the wall, and let the defenders open the door.

The gates of the city slowly opened, but before they were fully opened, a group of soldiers defending the city ran out of the city in a neat procession, and set up a human wall outside the city.

The people who were about to rush into the city suddenly ran out of a team of heavily armed officers and soldiers, and one by one they were stunned there, the men were desperately protecting the women, the women were holding the children tightly, and the eyes full of fear and despair looked at the officers and soldiers who were blocking them.

"Stand up, line up with the servants, and enter the city in order!" A garrison officer stepped out from behind the wall of men lined up by the soldiers, waved his hand at the people, shouted, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Investigate carefully, and collect all the sharp weapons on them!" ”

The whole group of soldiers defending the city responded in unison, lined up on both sides, and made way for the people to make a passage that was not too wide.

The people who thought that the officers and soldiers guarding the city would not let them into the city, heard that the servants entered the city in order, and their hearts were suddenly overjoyed, and they all crowded forward, wanting to enter the city one step ahead of others.

The more than ten soldiers who led the people to the outside of Dayang City saw that they were in a little commotion, and hurriedly blocked in front of them, and the officer who had just replied to Liu to argue shouted to the people who were rushing to the gate of the city: "Folks, this is the territory of His Royal Highness King Hongnong, and no one can drive and kill the villagers when they come here!" Don't panic, according to the order, everyone in a row can enter the city. If you squeeze hard, you will be stopped outside the city. ”

As soon as the officer shouted this, the people in the turmoil calmed down a little, and the officer standing in front of the officers and soldiers defending the city waved his hand, and the two soldiers who defended the city hurriedly stepped forward, and selected three women from among the people, and let them lead the children to the city.

Standing on the city wall, Liu Wei looked down at the officers and soldiers who were searching the people entering the city one by one, and felt a little unbearable in his heart.

Officers and soldiers searched their bodies, regardless of men, women, old and children, as long as they entered the city, they would touch their whole bodies all over their bodies, even women, they would touch their whole bodies thoroughly, and make sure that there were no sharp weapons hidden before they were released into the city.

In his heart, Liu Wei didn't want to do this, but he didn't have any other way. No one knows if there are Dong Zhuojun's spies among the thousands of people in Lu Dao, if a few spies are hidden and infiltrated into the city, it will bring ruin to more people.

"You, stand against the wall!" Liu Wei, who was standing on the top of the city and watching the people enter the city, heard a soldier's shout from the city, he hurriedly held the battlements with both hands, stretched out his head to look out, and saw two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, holding a ragged man, pushing the man aside.
