However, Lu G wave his hand.
It's fine.
It's fine.
The reason I thought of lengthening the handle of the battle axe was to improve the weapons of the shield axe soldiers.
Why did the chief suddenly want to improve the weapons of the shield axe soldiers? Luang felt a bit puzzled.
For a unit's weapon, the most important aspect was that it should have a low threshold and be easy to handle.
Ideally, a weapon that everyone would know how to use once they picked it up.
The bronze battle axe had evidently met this requirement.
Recklessly increasing the length of the axe handle, while it did enhance destructive power, also raised the requirements for the user.
From a certain perspective, this move wasn't he wise.
In response to Lu Mang's query, Lu G thought for a moment before answering seriously, because I want to enhance the destructive power of the shield axe soldier unit, creating a force that can shatter the enemy's shield line and tear apart their entire formation with a single encounter.
Chapter 259, Total War after some time.
The bronze warblades forged were enough to arm a troop of over 400 men.
Regarding the formation of the sword and shield troop, Lajia directly entrusted it to Lu Ming, the future commander of the sword and shield soldiers to handle himself.
After all, during his recovery, he was living a relatively relaxed life.
He also did not forget to pass the sword and shield soldier specialization skill book to Lu Mang.
With his dual four-star growth in bravery and leadership, Luang was not unworthy of this golden level skill book.
Moreover, his talent effect as a pioneer general was quite suitable for the sword and shield soldier class.
Therefore, Luang had always been on his consideration list.
This time, Laja had just made a definitive decision.
He was clearly supportive of the establishment of this new troop and did not let Lu Mang start from scratch.
He straightforwardly allowed him to select talents from the existing shield axe troop.
The attack method of the shield act soldiers was primarily chopping, which was also the same for the sword and shield soldiers.
After switching weapons, they should be able to transition to the new class easily.
Thus, there was basically no need to worry about the establishment of the sword and shield troop.
After signaling Lu Ming to get busy, Lia called Lu Shu and walked outside.
He also had some matters to instruct regarding the arms forging department.
Starting today, the forging of ordinary bronze battle axes could basically be halted.
60% of the craftsmen in the forging department were to be reassigned to forge bronze warblades, while the remaining 20% would be responsible for the forging of bronze pikes and bronze long spears.
Another 20% would be responsible for the forging of the new style battle axes.
This entire development plan had been long prepared by Lajia.
Now, when it came to giving instructions, he was quite decisive.
The so-called new style battle axe involved lengthening the axe handle and enlarging the axe blade to a certain extent.
A larger ax blade would increase destructive power and attack range, but it would also increase the weight of the weapon.
However, Luajia had already decided to turn the shield ax troop into an elite force.
Since he was going for a route of elite soldiers, why would he care about the weight? Strength can be trained to a certain extent.
If one cannot wield even a slightly heavier weapon, how can they be considered elite soldiers? At the same time, due to this change, Laja also issued an order for Lu Yong to be recalled from the Wild Horse tribe.
He had initially assigned Luo Yong to an environment where the Shield Axe soldiers could not exert their advantages just to temper him.
Now, it was estimated that he had been sufficiently tempered.
Considering his future plans, it was no longer appropriate to keep Luo Yong there.
It was just the right opportunity to call him back and discuss the elite troop matters.
Boaji had been quite concerned about this trusted general.
To be honest, his sudden idea to transform the shield axe troop into a small elite force was also partly due to considering Lu Yong's only three star leadership level.
The level of leadership directly reflects the control one has over a troop.
The larger the troop, the harder it is to control.
Asking someone who can only lead a thousandman troop to command a 10,000man army will certainly lead to disaster.
But from another perspective, does a smaller troop necessarily mean weakness? Throughout history, elite troops have never been numerous.
The truly elite ones are those chosen from a 100 or even a thousand.
It was this thought that led Lajia to consider turning the shield axe troop into a trump card elite force.
Of course, creating this elite force was not as easy as converting shield axe soldiers into sword and shield soldiers after selecting enough outstanding soldiers.
They would have to be thrown back into the barracks and undergo at least 3 months of hellish training before they could be ready for battle.
It was not feasible in a short term.
It would have to be done slowly.
Time passed quietly.
Luaj spent 5 days repairing the walls and gate mechanisms of Shiuan city and redeploying the troops in each city reasonably.
He then took out the declaration of war from his backpack.
Yes, he was going to launch it now.
To replenish the loss of 5,000 troops would take a relatively long time.
The sooner Luajia initiated total war, the more likely he could catch Yok Dong and offguard.
Conversely, the longer he hesitated, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
System prompt.
Are you sure you want to consume a golden level declaration of war? Total war to declare total war on player Joe Dong Nan confirmed Luajia's voice was filled with determination.
The golden level declaration of war has two characteristics.
The first is to ignore the effects of peace treaties.
The second is that the player being declared war on cannot refuse or avoid battle.
After all, it is an expensive golden level item.
It must have some effect.
Meanwhile, in another world, Zhao Dong was currently lying weakly on his bed.
Zhao Jia had died in battle, and his army of 5,000 was almost completely wiped out.
This series of blows was too heavy for him, directly causing him, who was already physically weak, to fall into a serious illness from the shock.
After several days of recuperation, he finally managed to catch his breath.
Zoya.
His voice carried a clear weakness and horarsseness.
At this moment, Jo Dong Nan, leaning against the bed, had pale lips that trembled slightly.
Humans are not made of wood.
Who can be without feelings? Unlike his other generals, Zhao Jia was one of his earliest fierce generals, loyal to him.
His outstanding strength made Zhao Dong rely heavily on him.
He never expected that invading a newcomer would lead to the loss of such a trusted general.
At the thought of that detestable face, Zhao Donan's expression uncontrollably began to twist, his eyes filled with hatred.
Lajia, you wait for me.
I dawn in.
Thou not to live as a human until this grudge is avenged.
Cough, cough, cough, cough.
Hearing the commotion in the room.
The violent coughing frightened the maids waiting outside, and they rushed in.
Your majesty, your majesty, please take care of your health.
Imperial physician, hurry.
summoned the Imperial physician.
Zhao Dongan's condition had frightened the maids attending to him, fearing that he might cough up blood.
If anything happened to him, they would all face dire consequences.
Under the maid's comfort, Zhao Dongan's emotions calmed down a bit, but just then, the systems prompt suddenly echoed in his mind.
System prompt: Player Loa has launched a golden level item declaration of war, total war against you.
System prompt.
Player Laja has declared total war on you.
System prompt.
In 10 seconds, your civilization will be transported to the battlefield.
Please prepare mentally.
10 987.
A series of system prompts stunned him.
After realizing what was happening, Zhao Dong Nan's face changed drastically.
