At this high-level meeting, Xu Wei asked Zhang Baiqi and Guo Daxian to come over, but he did not assign them any tasks, so Zhang Baiqi asked this question.
He believed that only by fighting side by side with the generals of the Tengjia Army could the generals of the Yellow Turban Army integrate into the Tengjia Army.
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "Old man Wang has many tasks, and he may not be able to handle them. Brother Ziyin, please bring the teachers from the school to help old man Wang with the logistics tasks in Mayi!"
Zhang Baiqi saluted Xu Wei and said, "No!"
Then Xu Wei looked at Guo Daxian and said: "If we really fight with the Xianbei people, there will definitely be a battlefield in Pingcheng County, and many innocent people will be injured. Captain Guo, just take your troops to Pingcheng County and kill the local people."
and herdsmen all migrated to Mayi."
Guo Daxian asked: "Do you want me to lead people to guard this Pingcheng? As long as I am not dead, I will not let the Xianbei people move forward."
Xu Wei said with a smile: "We built a fort in a dangerous place in Pingcheng. Pingcheng has strong walls and clear fields, so that the Xianbei people cannot grab supplies. The fort in Pingcheng is defended by 2,000 soldiers, and the defense is stronger."
The meeting ended after all the generals in Mayi arranged their tasks.
Xu Wei first went to the steel factory to find Old Man Niu, drew a picture of Mo Dao and said: "Old man gives priority to building this kind of knife!"
Old Man Niu hesitated and said: "This sword is a bit like a horse-cutting sword?"
Xu Wei nodded and said: "This sword is called Mo Dao. It is based on the horse-killing sword and is equipped with a handle to deal with cavalry. The old man used the best steel to make 5,000 Mo Dao. This is the most important weapon for us to deal with the Xianbei people.
weapons!"
After Xu Weidu said this, Old Man Niu said solemnly: "Old man, make this Mo Dao as soon as possible!"
Mayi Iron and Steel Plant can be regarded as the crown jewel of industrial technology in the world. Not only does its iron-making output surpass that of the entire Han Dynasty, but after Xu Wei invented the graphite crucible, it also achieved mass production of steel and can produce thousands of kilograms per day.
Regarding steel, it can be said that Mayi's steel production is more than that of the whole world except Mayi.
All this steel is used to make Mo Dao, plus the water conservancy hammer from the steel plant. The 200-pound hammer is naturally not comparable to the ordinary hammer weighing more than ten kilograms. There are also advanced heat treatment technologies. These technologies allow Ma Yi to make a day.
Can stop dozens of Mo Dao.
This is also the reason why Xu Wei is confident that he can form the Mo Dao heavy infantry before Helian attacks Mayi. If he really builds a Mo Dao in half a year according to the records in the history books, it will be a day lily.
Although the Mo Dao has not been built, the Mo Dao heavy infantry must start selection and training in advance. After all, time is tight now, and we can only wait for the weapons, not the weapons.
Xu Wei planned to make some wooden swords first, with lead weights inside to increase the weight. Such swords could barely be used for training.
The requirements for selecting Mo Dao soldiers are also very high. Not just any crooked melon or jujube will suffice, at least not someone like Xiaosi. When he holds the Mo Dao, he feels like a child carrying a big sword. The Mo Dao is 2.3 meters long.
The best soldiers to use are eight feet tall, preferably over 180 kilograms in weight, and the longer the arm span, the better.
After all, the Mo Dao is heavy, and its main combat methods are chopping and swinging. Such a heavy weapon cannot be wielded without enough physical strength, so the Mo Dao's fighting method is determined. The Mo Dao soldier must have a strong lower body and strong upper limbs.
Only in this way can we maintain strong physical strength during combat. At the same time, the Mo Dao is a weapon that is more than 2 meters long, which means that the longer the soldier's arm span is, the higher the cutting attack power will be, and the wider the attack range will be.
Soon Xu Wei started the first round of selection in the army. Xu Wei borrowed 300 senior students from the school, and then asked them to go to the military camp to measure the height, weight and arm span of the soldiers with a tape measure.
One by one, the soldiers came up excitedly. They all knew that Commander Qu was selecting elites, and the welfare benefits were also the best. As long as they were selected into the Modao team, the monthly salary of the soldiers would exceed 2,000 yuan, and it would be doubled during wartime.
, it can be said that the Modao team is the highest paid soldier in the entire Mayi. Of course they want to be one of them, but it is a pity that physical talent is innate, and not everyone is suitable to become the Modao heavy infantry.
Mo Dao has particularly strict requirements on physical talent, and basically selects soldiers according to modern standards for selecting basketball players.
Even if the modern dynasty has a population of 1.4 billion, only a few hundred or even thousands can become professional basketball players. And now, let alone this era, there are only eight-foot-tall warriors like Zhang Fei, which can be said to be very few, so Xu Wei
The standards have been lowered, and anyone with a height of seven and a half feet is considered eligible.
But even so, most of the 20,000 soldiers were unqualified, and only more than 3,000 were barely selected.
Xu Wei had no choice but to expand the scope of the selection and allow the entire Mayi tribe to participate in the selection, but even so, the number of qualified people would only increase to 10,000.
When selecting soldiers, Xu Wei had already tried his best to select tall and strong soldiers, so after one screening, there were not many qualified soldiers in Mayi. Fortunately, even if there were only 10,000 soldiers, they were willing to exceed the number of Modao soldiers.
Xu Wei even had to find ways to eliminate some bad soldiers.
Therefore, the weight, wingspan and age of the soldiers were also included in the selection items. For each unqualified item, some people would be eliminated. In the end, Xu Weiyou was selected and more than 5,000 Modao soldiers were selected.
But this is only the most basic selection. In the subsequent training, a group of soldiers who are not suitable for using Modao will be eliminated. Even Xu Wei himself does not know how many soldiers will be left in the end.
The soldiers started training with the newly made prop Mo Dao. The only thing that made Xu Wei happy was that most of the 3,000 Mo Dao soldiers were experienced veterans. There were not many recruits, so the training progress was very fast, especially with Mo Dao.
Suitable for Xu Wei's troops.
Because there are only two uses of the Mo Dao, chopping and swinging. The method of use is for the soldiers to move in uniformly, the Mo Dao rushes in like a wall, and then chop and kill together. Relying on the powerful and sharp Mo Dao to kill the enemy's cavalry, including both men and horses, this
The method of combat is determined by the method of combat. Firstly, the Modao heavy infantry fights collectively and pays attention to teamwork. Secondly, the attack point is clear, which is to deal with the cavalry and make up for the weakness of the lack of horses.
Modern queue training emphasizes uniformity of tens of thousands of people. For military formations such as the Modao Formation that require strict coordination, it can be said that these soldiers are born with the foundation to learn the Modao Formation, and they will naturally train quickly.
Xu Wei believes that there are two most important points for the Modao Team, one is the cooperation of the soldiers, and the other is physical fitness. He also focuses on these two points in training. He allows the soldiers to spend half the time training the formation and half the time training physical fitness.
In order to improve the physical fitness of Modao soldiers, Xu Wei made their food the best in Mayi, with sufficient oil and water and meat for three meals. This made the ordinary soldiers in Mayi extremely envious.
But their training is also the most difficult in Mayi, five kilometers in the morning and five kilometers in the evening. After they adapt, they will even have to go five kilometers in full gear every day. You must know that they are heavy infantry, and their sword is called Iron Armor.
If you weigh more than 60 pounds and run five kilometers with such a heavy load, it is common for you to collapse from exhaustion.
Queue training is also very simple. When you are tired from physical training, do queue training, and then practice physical fitness after you have rested.
The people in Mayi were shocked when they saw the training of the Modao Team. This was a rhythm that would train people to death. From then on, no one complained about the treatment of the Modao Team. This was exactly what they deserved.
