The selection of Modao officers is, of course, not to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, any crooked melon and cracked dates.

First of all, it is height, weight, and arm span.

The current Han military system Mo knife is eight feet five inches long and weighs about 40 catties (Han system two catties, about 10 kilograms today).

Therefore, this requires that the height of the user must not be less than seven feet three inches.

In addition, the Mo knife is heavy.

And the main method of combat is slashing and swinging.

This requires that the user must have sufficient physical strength.

Therefore, the Mo knife soldier must be strong in the lower plate and strong in the upper limbs.

In this way, you can maintain strong physical strength when fighting.

Finally, reach is also important.

The Mo knife is a long weapon, and the longer the emissary's arm span, the better the effect of chopping and chopping.

So, at this moment, in the barracks, the first round of screening starts with height, weight, and arm span.

One by one, the candidates lined up to accept Yu Linwei's selection.

Height, weight, arm span, and age, if you fail any of them, you will be told that you can leave.

Li Fu stood at the end of the team, looking at such a selection method, his heart was full of pride and pride.

He has enough confidence in his physical fitness.

In fact, the physical fitness of most of the Han military officers was extremely good.

Moreover, because they have been engaged in heavy infantry work for generations and have been trained in battle formations since childhood, the officers are basically soldiers with extremely strong lower limbs and particularly strong upper limbs.

If you are weak, you can't lift the big shield and can't stand on your heels.

Without muscles in the upper limbs, it could not withstand the impact of the Hun cavalry and the powerful arrow strikes.

Such a person, when he goes to the battlefield, is the target and breakthrough point of the enemy.

Therefore, in this round of selection, only more than 100 people were eliminated.

Moreover, at least forty or fifty people are over the threshold because they are too old.

It can be seen from this that the elite quality in the Han army is very high!

Even the righteous column standing on the barracks was amazed: "There are so many heroes in the world!" ”

And for any aristocratic scholar of the Han family, it is an irresistible temptation to recruit heroes and enter their shogunate!

Looking at the hundreds of officers who had entered the playground of the barracks, Yi Zong muttered: "Whether it's a dragon or a worm, it depends on the next screening!" ”

Theoretically speaking, the current Mo Dao soldiers of the Han Army can generally become a qualified Mo Dao soldiers as long as they meet the requirements of height, weight and arm span.

Even, the training of Mo sword soldiers is simpler than that of crossbow soldiers.

Generally speaking, a county soldier who has received rough military training can become a qualified Mo Dao soldier after two or three months of training.

However, this time, it was not the soldiers that Yulin Wei chosen.

It's the officers!

At least what's the length!

A chief, under the jurisdiction of two troops.

On the battlefield, front and back, left and right, are his comrades.

He had to hear the six ways and see the four sides.

It is necessary to pay attention to the orders from the team leader, Sima, and lieutenant at any time, and also to encourage his own soldiers at any time.

Therefore, it takes not only courage, but also wisdom and a quick response.

What's more, Yu Linwei selects officers.

It's always been a stone in an egg, and it's better to have a lack than an abundance!

Yu Linwei, selection, has always been only the best soldiers, the best officers, the best talents.

People who are not good enough, who are not good enough, in this army, let alone impress the officials, even the arrogant soldiers below can't be suppressed!

The team rate of the Hosoliu Battalion may not be able to be a leader in Yulin Wei.

………………………………………………

Li Fu followed the team and entered a martial arts arena.

This kind of martial arts arena is no stranger to Li Fu.

He used to train with his parents and peers in such a martial arts arena all year round.

Whether it is a spear or a halberd, a shield or a broadsword, it is a qualified material officer and must be proficient in weapons.

In addition, a qualified material officer must also have sufficient sensitivity in hearing and discrimination.

They must be able to hear the drums of the Chinese army at all times and in any environment, and immediately distinguish the meaning.

In addition, the sound of the friendly crossbow unit's fire, and the enemy's bowstring vibrating, they must have enough clear and keen ability to distinguish.

And you have to immediately discern how many enemies are attacking.

Such a material officer can protect his own soldiers to the greatest extent on the battlefield.

Officials who can't do this often harm others and themselves.

However, in this Yulinwei's martial arts arena, it is different from those martial arts arenas that Li Fu is familiar with.

The difference lies in the fact that there is almost only one such weapon -- that kind of long knife that Li Fu has never seen and heard of.

This weapon, standing up, is taller than a person's height.

Although it is not as long as the halberd, the main battle weapon of the Han army.

However, its power is stronger than that of a halberd!

Its hilt and blade are almost equal in length!

The handle of the knife is about five feet, and the blade is about three feet five inches to four feet.

The entire blade is almost made of fine iron, and after being polished by skilled craftsmen, it looks cold and sharp, and it can almost be blown off!

With just one glance, Li Fu was hooked away by this long weapon!

"This is a weapon that was born for the officer...... Li Fu thought to himself, "If you can hold this weapon...... Simply ......"

This kind of weapon, it doesn't need to be demonstrated, people can know how terrible it is!

Between the slashes, I am afraid that any enemy will be cut down by them and their men and horses!

It's literally the scythe of death!

Like Li Fu, the other officials were already deeply intoxicated the moment they saw Modao.

As if they had seen their first love, they looked at these long knives with hot and crazy eyes, and couldn't help but get excited.

"This is the weapon that a material officer should have!" Someone said.

Compared with it, the halberds and spears used by the previous officials are simply the weapons of Yi Diana, and they can be completely eliminated!

"This is a Mo knife!" A lieutenant-like Yulin officer, holding a strange knife, proudly announced its name to these crazy and hot officers: "It is also the foundation of future officers!" ”

This is a fact, as the Son of Heaven lifted the equipment restrictions of the Mo Dao.

It is foreseeable that in the future, the material officer units of the border army of the Han army will popularize this weapon.

Even if it costs as much as 15,000 dollars per shank!

However, although the Mo knife is expensive, however, the Mo knife soldier is not expensive!

Any militia with formal training can master this weapon in a short time.

It is not like an archer, which requires more than three years of training.

It is not like the cuirassiers, who not only require the quality of the riders, but also take money to pile up, and even require a long training -- a qualified cuirassiers, even if they are trained and trained by a cavalryman who is good enough, will need at least more than a year to have combat effectiveness.

And a qualified cavalryman itself requires more than three years of training.

In other words, after the price of the Mo knife was reduced, the Mo Dao Soldier already has the same potential for large-scale popularization and equipment as the crossbowmen!

And the cost of 15,000 yuan, in fact, is on par with the rhubarb crossbow.

And the requirements of the rhubarb crossbow are too high!

Except for Hercules, no one can pull apart and use it alone.

If the rhubarb crossbow can be like the Mo knife, it can be used in the posture of a Chinese person.

The Han army has long popularized it to every barrier and beacon tower, so that the Huns can feel the malice from the world!

Judging from the current situation, it is likely that the Han army will have more than 100,000 or even more Modao soldiers to garrison the world in the future.

In front of such a number of Mo Dao.

It's the cuirassiers, and they probably have to hit the streets!

Because, the cuirassiers are destined to never exceed 10,000!

This is a very easy and very simple result to calculate - the number of adult young and strong men in the world is about 10 million. And the riders of the cuirassiers are one in a thousand!

But the Mo sword soldier can be universally equipped.

Basically, qualified young people can use this weapon.

This means that the Mo Dao Soldier is actually the most economical and most suitable weapon for the Han Dynasty.

It can be both defensive and offensive.

It is not afraid of cavalry, nor of infantry.

It can be used in any war zone such as plains, Gobi, plateaus, mountains, forests, and hills.

Whether it is to the north or south, whether it is to the grassland, or to the water network and mountains in the south, its power will not be reduced.

Moreover, it is also economical.

Unlike cavalry, one person with two horses and one cavalry is equivalent to raising one infantry with one army.

In the opinion of this captain, there is no more suitable weapon for the Han Dynasty than the Mo knife!

It is the god's relative of Xingtian, and it is Hou Yi's divine bow!

From the moment he saw Modao, this captain fell in love with it!

As if stroking a lover, the lieutenant gently stroked the Mo knife in his hand.

Now the Mo knife in his hand is already the third generation of the Han family.

Since five years ago, when the Son of Heaven ordered Shaofu to forge the Mo Dao for the first time, the Shaofu and the Mo family have never stopped improving and improving the Mo Dao.

Now, in Yulin and Tiger Benwei, under the command of each captain, there are two or three Mo family ink masters training with the army.

They will refine and improve their designs according to the actual use of the army.

Take the Mo knife as an example, the original Mo knife was too short and had not yet left the category of the horse sword.

In addition, the handle of the knife is also very unscientific, and it is easy to get out of your hand due to excessive force.

Therefore, before the Battle of Mayi, the Mo knives of Yulin, Huben and Xiliu Battalion began to be installed, and the design of the blade and the handle of the knife began to appear, and a groove was added to the handle of the Mo knife.

However, in practice, it was found that the blade of the knife was too long, which made it easy for soldiers to accidentally injure friendly soldiers in use, and it was not conducive to maintenance, and the grooves of the grip were also somewhat unaccustomed.

As a result, the Mo knife now equipped with a reduced blade, and the use of fine iron that is more suitable for chopping is the material, in the design of the groove, it is also the Mo family's ink master in the investigation and observation of more than three thousand Han army hand size, specially designed for the Han army to use the groove, so that the soldiers can just grasp the Mo knife, not too narrow, not too wide, the size is appropriate.

In addition, even the long-range weapons carried by the Mo Dao soldiers have also been improved.

Five years ago, when the Mo Dao Soldiers first appeared, the officers of Yu Lin Wei and Hu Ben Wei discovered that the Mo Dao Soldiers had a huge flaw - they could only fight in close combat and lacked long-range firepower.

This means that the Modao soldiers cannot fight alone.

This is simply unacceptable to Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei!

At that time, the Mo knife was expensive, and a Mo knife could easily cost seventy or eighty thousand, or even one hundred thousand!

With such an expensive Mo knife, it can't be fought alone?

What do you want it to do?

Because of this, the scale of the Mo Dao Soldier has not been able to expand.

So, the Mo Dao officers of Yu Linwei got together to discuss-why couldn't the Mo Dao soldiers use long-range weapons?

Archers require long-term training, so all kinds of long and short bows are automatically abandoned.

However, crossbows do not require much special training.

Even a farmer who had never received special training could handle it if he gave him a crossbow.

It's nothing more than that the quasi-head and discipline are inferior to the army.

So, they began to look for a long-range crossbow suitable for the use of Mo Dao soldiers.

It can't be too big, like the big yellow crossbow, the Mo sword soldier should be called a strong crossbow soldier instead.

It can't be too small, too small for the range to be insufficient.

As a result, the crossbows in the Han army came into everyone's sight.

The Kick Crossbow is a three-stone crossbow with a range of between fifty and one hundred paces.

Moreover, the size is not big or small, and the weight is also very light, which is suitable for Mo sword soldiers to carry around.

But in the first year or two, the Mo Dao soldiers suffered from the crossbow.

Because, the Han army's previous crossbow, although it only had three stone forces, it needed to be waist-stretched, that is, every time it was wound and filled, it needed to be opened with the waist.

This is simply an unforgivable flaw on the battlefield!

The Mo sword soldiers couldn't imagine the embarrassment of still winding the crossbow machine at the waist when the enemy rushed over.

But, now, this problem no longer exists.

The Mo family and Shaofu teamed up to improve the design of the crossbow.

This kind of strong crossbow no longer needs to be wound and filled by waist force.

It can be easily wound with one foot.

It's not just that the filling speed is faster than before.

Moreover, it is more suitable for the use of Mo knife.

In this way, the Mo Dao Soldiers have long-range firepower - even if the enemy is at a long distance, the Mo Dao Soldiers can give them enough damage and deterrence.

The current Han Army's Mo Sword Formation can already fight alone.

It doesn't need to rely on strong crossbowmen to gain a foothold on the battlefield!

Moreover, because of the price reduction of the Mo knife, this weapon can even replace all the halberds and spears in service in the current Han army.

However, after all, this is just imagination, fantasy, expectation, and hope.

In China, it is impossible to convince others by lip service and description.

I want the Mo sword, replace the halberd and spear, and become the main force of the Han army and the cavalry.

That still needs to be tested in actual combat.

It's like the Battle of Mayi!

It's like the Battle of Mayi, which heralded the arrival of the cavalry era.

Mo Dao Bing also needs a decisive victory that will attract the attention and admiration of the world!

And the upcoming battle of Gaoque and Yinshan, in the eyes of this captain, is the most suitable battlefield! (To be continued.) )
