A halberd is a combination of a spear and a spear, that is, a spear point is installed on the head of the spear.

A fighting weapon with the dual functions of hooking, pecking and thrusting, it is more lethal than the gun or spear.

Halberds are very long. The standard halberds in most countries are more than two and a half meters long. This is also a characteristic of battlefield weapons. Every inch longer is stronger.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the halberd was mostly used on chariots, mainly for direct thrusts and horizontal strikes. When the chariot rushed into the enemy's infantry square, the halberd would turn into a death sickle that harvested life. As long as it stabbed

Wearing armor can take away the enemy's life.

Infantry will also be equipped with halberds, but infantry are mostly equipped with spears. Halberds are a relatively luxurious weapon for infantry.

Perhaps due to the metal properties of bronze, knives were rarely used in this era.

It's not that there is nothing, but the bronze sword is too brittle and can only be used to chop a few times. If it fails to hit the enemy's vital point, it will break directly from it. It is almost equivalent to a disposable weapon and is equivalent to giving it away.

Therefore, the standard equipment of most countries uses halberds, spears, or swords to perform direct stabbing attacks.

And compared with the metal bronze used in bronze knives, the halberd heads and spear heads of halberds and spears are less expensive, and the halberd shafts and spear shafts can be directly made of wood.

After talking about the halberd, Sun Wuyou took out a wooden crossbow from the room.

The crossbow is very new and seems to have just been made.

Legend has it that the earliest crossbow was invented by the Yellow Emperor. The crossbow in the Spring and Autumn Period was an extremely common strategic weapon. Sun Wu also mentioned it in his "The Art of War".

The crossbow in the Spring and Autumn Period can fire about 400 steps, and is easier to use than a bow. It does not require much training to be used on the battlefield. It can effectively restrain infantry and cause a huge morale blow to the enemy's phalanx.

.

Especially the two-stage shooting and the three-stage shooting.

Unlike bows and arrows, crossbows do not require too much effort to draw and unstring the bow. An ordinary soldier can draw the bow more than ten times, which is basically considered a great achievement. However, a crossbow can be stringed fifty times or even more.

The two-stage shooting and the three-stage shooting can make the crossbowmen's attacks produce a continuous effect. The arrows fall like a violent storm, and the scene is extremely shocking.

The rest are shields and swords, which generally belong to the generals' personal guards. Their physical strength, explosive power, and combat skills are all top-notch "special soldiers."

After learning about the arms and mainstream standard weapons, Sun Wu officially began to teach the art of war.

It is worth mentioning that he still did not directly start talking about how to fight the war.

"War is a major matter for the country. It is the place of life and death, and the way of survival. It must be observed. Therefore, the scriptures use five things to calibrate and analyze their emotions: one is the way, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, and the fourth is the general.

, the fifth is Dharma. The Tao makes the people agree with the superior, so they can die with them and live with them without fear of danger."

The "Tao" here refers to truth and morality, or it can also be interpreted as politics and public opinion.

As long as it is politically correct and the country can occupy the moral high ground, it can launch public opinion attacks on the enemy, so that its own people and soldiers will develop the same will to hate the enemy and fight for it to the death.

This is what is called a teacher’s reputation.

As long as people believe that their side is just, then the morale during the battle will be extremely high.

The word "public opinion" here is very subtle.

On the one hand, you can use righteousness to stimulate people's emotions, such as Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, and the United States took this as an opportunity to officially begin military intervention in World War II.

On the other hand, you can also use benefits to induce and stimulate people

The enthusiasm for fighting. For example, the Gulf War led by the United States was an "unjust" war launched for oil resources.

But...are so-called "unjust" wars really "unjust"?

"So how are righteousness and unjustness defined?" Ouyang thought for a long time and asked, "Is it according to the world's point of view? Can a war that is beneficial to the people of his own country but hurts others be regarded as 'righteousness'?

?”

"This is not a question for me to think about." Sun Wu laughed, looked at Li Er who came over and said, "The morality of people, the morality of a country, the morality of heaven and earth, you have to ask about these things."

Lao Tzu'."

Li Er entered Sun Wu's small courtyard, heard the conversation between the two, and asked a little strangely: "Oh? Ouyang, are you interested in morality?"

"Hmm... I'm a bit interested." Ouyang nodded.

"If you are interested, we can discuss it some time." Li Er smiled, looking very happy, "But not yet, Chang Sangjun is back, and he has something to ask you about, which is about Shennong San. And I happen to be

I also have something to do with Sun Wu."

Could there be some problem with the dispensing of Shennong Powder? Probably not, otherwise Li Er wouldn't look so happy.

"Well, I'll take my leave first." Ouyang saluted Sun Wu and left the courtyard.

Sun Wu watched Ouyang enter Chang Sangjun's courtyard, and then looked at Li Er: "Tell me, why did you come to me? Is it for Fan Li? Or is it Shi Yiguang?"

"Of course not. The two of them, young uncle, will leave Shennong Stream soon and live in seclusion in a different place." Li Er smiled and took out a tattered turtle shell from his arms.

The turtle shell was covered with knife marks, which seemed to have been cut by humans, and there were many burnt places, as if it had been burned by fire.

"This is... Xuanwu? Did you do divination?" Sun Wu looked shocked and looked at Li Er, "Are you crazy?! How much life do you have left?"

"Death is the only chance for survival." Li Er waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Hey." Sun Wu curled his lips, put away the halberd and crossbow, and asked, "So? What did you see this time?"

Li Er tapped the turtle shell with his fingers, pointed to the top of his head and said, "The hope of life comes from outside the sky."

Sun Wu looked along his finger and saw a cloudless blue sky.

…………………………

Chang Sangjun was very lucky in his outing this time. Together with the materials brought by Fan Li, he completed two copies of Shennong Powder.

One share was given to Shi Yiguang, also known as Xi Shi, and the other was given to Ouyang.

After Xi Shi's angina was cured with acupuncture, Fan Li no longer stayed in Shennongjian and took Xi Shi to live in seclusion.

Shennong Powder is really just a packet of powdered powder, which is soaked in cold "distilled water" and then drank directly.

When Ouyang saw the "alembic bottle" in Chang Sangjun's house, he almost thought that Chang Sangjun was also a person who had traveled through time.

"After taking Shennong Powder, take it every morning when the first ray of sunlight hits the morning dew. If you persist for thirty days, Shennong Powder can be completely digested." Chang Sangjun explained to Ouyang.

After Ouyang drank Shennong Powder, he closed his eyes and felt it. He found that nothing had changed in him, but he seemed to feel something vaguely.

But if it is too vague, there is no such hazy feeling, as if it is just a psychological effect.

"Will you know the mystery of immortality in thirty days?" Ouyang couldn't help but ask.

This is longevity. Although it is only eighty years, it represents that Ouyang has taken the most important first step.

"Well, it depends on people, right?" Chang Sangjun said uncertainly, "Some people can know it naturally, and some people... due to various reasons, lack of some necessary conditions, just can't see the meaning of immortality.

puzzle."

"What do you mean?" Ouyang scratched his head, "Some people are destined not to live forever?"

"That's not true. Immortality is just a concept. To put it bluntly, it means lifting the shackles and gaining so many years of life. But some people are born without shackles. As long as they don't actively seek death, they generally won't die early.

There are also some people who need the stimulation of some specific environments to see their shackles, so they know how to lift them and gain immortality. But these specific environments are too random." Chang Sangjun explained.

"I see." Ouyang nodded, then put down his burden and said, "These are my clothes, now they are yours."

During the three days Fan Li was in Shennongjian, Ouyang asked him for two pieces of clothing, and then slightly modified them himself with a tactical dagger.

You can't do it without changing it. It's really easy to get heatstroke if you wear such thick clothes on such a hot day.

Chang Sangjun nodded and put the baggage away.

When Ouyang was about to say goodbye to Chang Sangjun, Chang Sangjun suddenly said: "Do you want to learn acupuncture and herbal medicine?"

"Huh?" Ouyang was stunned for three seconds, then nodded vigorously, "Learn!"

…………………………

I don't know if it's because of the extremely high physical attribute panel, but Ouyang has a lot of energy and an amazing memory.

I study Huang Lao's thoughts, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Chang Sang's medical skills every day. I don't feel tired at all. I even have some energy left to learn how to read stones with Xue Zhu.

Of course, Xiangshi just learned it for fun.

But if you don’t learn, you won’t know. If you learn, you will be shocked.

Phase stones actually involve extremely hard-core things like geology and chemistry. When you look at a stone, you have to understand where it was produced, right? What kind of potion will this stone have when put in it? How will it react when put on fire?

What kind of reaction does it have when it is put in water? What kind of reaction does it have when put in water? You have to know these, right?

You even need to know a certain amount of geographical knowledge. You need to know where the land is rich in what kind of stones, and what kind of impact the weather there will have on the stones, so it also includes bits and pieces such as meteorology.

So Xue Zhu is the most knowledgeable person in the entire Shennong Valley? Ouyang couldn't help but have such a weird idea.

In addition, the bits and pieces of daily life work such as chopping firewood, farming, fishing, herding sheep, and competing with Zhao Zhen are all included in the daily schedule.

This astonishing workload and learning efficiency astonished many of the old people in Shennongjian, and they even had a strange thought: "Am I really old?"

After all, even Zhao Zhen, who has entered the realm of unity between man and nature, cannot learn as much knowledge in one breath as Ouyang did.

Our "yue girl" is better at figuring out how to kill people, let her use her brain, etc. It is indeed a bit difficult for her.

Of course, it is not that Ouyang has a strong learning ability.

In fact, in this era without the Internet and electronic products, learning and discussion have become the only entertainment.

Otherwise, what else could you do in such an isolated place? Would you be in a daze every day?
