War in this era was dominated by spears and halberds.

Of course, swords also play an important role in war.

Hu Yanzhan is from Xianbei, and the Xianbei people are naturally good at swordsmanship, horsemanship and archery.

Due to the lack of horses, equestrian Huyanzhan cannot be taught, but swordsmanship and archery can still be taught.

Eight Zhuang guards and Wang Sheng's two personal guards stood in a row, while Hu Yanzhan stood in front of these people holding an iron sword.

Wang Sheng was behind Hu Yanzhan, his face was calm, but his eyes were looking at Hu Yanzhan motionlessly.

Wang Sheng also wanted to learn the art of swordsmanship.

Even if you don't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, if you know how to use a sword, it is always better to save your life.

There are various situations when encountering a crisis. If a hero is as powerful as Cao Cao, does he have to cut off his beard and robe to escape?

The importance of having life-saving skills to Wang Sheng is self-evident.

While Wang Sheng was thinking, Hu Yanzhan also started to speak.

"The iron sword in my hand is the Huanshou sword, which is the most commonly used weapon by you Han people."

Hu Yanzhan weighed the Huanshou knife in his hand.

The Huanshou knife has a short handle and a long and narrow blade. It is a typical one-handed knife. The outside of the handle has an oblate ring shape, so it is called the Huanshou knife.

The Huanshou Dao is the predecessor of the Tang Dao. Compared with the Huanshou Dao, the quality of the Tang Dao has made great progress.

In the forging process, Tang Dao adopts the steel-making process of Huanshou Dao, improves the treatment method of impurities in steel, and pioneers the steel-clad technology to enhance the toughness of the knife.

In addition, compared with the Huanshou Dao, in appearance, the oblate ring-shaped feature on the outside of the handle is abandoned, the blade is widened, and the handle is extended, so that the Tang Dao can be used as a two-handed knife. After improvements, the Tang Dao

It not only improves the visual appearance, but also improves the actual combat performance of the knife.

However, due to the manufacturing process of Tang knives, the cost of Tang knives was too high. Therefore, only the powerful Tang Dynasty could afford such sophisticated weapons.

Now Wang Sheng can only get the first sword in the villa's treasury, let alone the Tang sword.

Although Wang Sheng has seen Tang Dao, it is still very difficult to actually make Tang Dao.

This kind of thing can only be discussed in the long term.

Zhuang Wei stared closely at the Huanshou Dao in Hu Yanzhan's hand, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

People are born with a fear of swords and weapons.

This is a reverence for things that can threaten one's life.

"The general sword techniques of Huanshou Dao are divided into five types: stabbing, swinging, splitting, belting, and chopping."

Hu Yanzhan took hold of the sword and stabbed straight forward.

"The thorns are divided into straight thorns and oblique thorns. This is a straight thorn, and this is an oblique thorn."

Hu Yanzhan demonstrated for one side, and then said to Zhuang Wei, who was holding a rusty ring-headed sword in front of him: "Do it again."

Liu Yong Zhang He nodded.

As Wang Sheng's personal bodyguards, the two of them were under particularly great pressure.

The Lord has told them that their position is earned by them, not fixed.

Personal guards have twice as much money as ordinary guards per month, and they also have more food. They don't want to give up this position.

Straight stabbing and oblique stabbing are the simplest steps in the sword technique. Ten people stabbed ten groups. Hu Yanzhan nodded lightly and then entered the next step of explanation.

"After stabbing, there is the swing. The swing is divided into left swing and right swing. The left swing is to swing the knife from the left from bottom to top, and the right swing is to swing the knife from the right to the left from bottom to top. They are all swung at this angle.

"

After Hu Yanzhan demonstrated the angle, Wang Sheng secretly estimated that it should be a 45-degree angle.

Wang Sheng held a ring-headed sword in his hand and started to learn it in a decent manner.

"There are two types of splits: straight splits and diagonal splits. A straight split is a vertical split from head to toe, and an oblique split is a split from left to right or from right to left in this direction."

"The belt is actually a barrier, but it is not a barrier that confronts the enemy head-on."

"To cut, the front hand is used as the axis, the big arm drives the small arm, and the back hand takes the handle of the knife and moves downwards to the left and right, cutting in a straight line with a small amplitude."

.............................

Hu Yanzhan is worthy of being a master of swordsmanship, and he knows the basic techniques of swordsmanship very well.

I studied for almost half an hour.

Sweat began to break out on Wang Sheng's forehead.

This ring-shaped sword weighs more than ten kilograms. If you swing it back and forth, it's just like chopping wood. It's really tiring.

Wang Sheng was in good health, but he was sweating a little, and some of Zhuang Wei were so tired that their tongues stuck out.

"Let's take a break from burning incense first, and then we can continue."

Hu Yanzhan demonstrated several times in the sun, and his clothes became a little wet with sweat.

While enjoying the shade under the old locust tree, Niu Cai Niu Wang quickly came over with tea.

While drinking the cool tea, Wang Sheng shouted happily.

After a long drought, there comes rain.

During military training, what Wang Sheng enjoyed most was when he took a break and drank water.

Hu Yanzhan took a sip of water. His dark skin reflected black light in the sun, and he had a look of confusion on his face.

"Lang Jun, these Zhuang Wei don't need to be taught anything advanced. They just need to be able to hold a knife and scare people."

The implication is that it is useless to teach too much.

Wang Sheng put down the small bowl and shook his head gently.

"A Zhan, just leave your sword and archery skills to them. As for how much they can master, that's their business."

After taking a breath, Wang Sheng said again: "Although they are Zhuang Wei, they have some martial arts skills, which is not bad for me."

Hu Yanzhan nodded and drank the small bowl of tea in one gulp.

"Young man understands."

Although he was puzzled by Wang Sheng's training of Zhuang Wei, Hu Yanzhan was entrusted by Liu Cong to teach swordsmanship and archery with all his heart.

After the time of one stick of incense.

Training continues.

"The first ones are all the simplest ways to use the knife. They are not difficult for you. The next step is the knife skills. You should pay attention to them."

The demonstration of Huyanzhan begins.

He stood with his legs spread to the left and right, his left hand on his waist, and he held a knife on the right side of his right hand, with the tip of the knife pointing upward, looking to the right.

While demonstrating the movements, Hu Yanzhan spoke at the same time.

"The right hand holds the knife with the wrist as the axis. Go forward and down through the inside of the right arm. Up and forward is the inner wrist flower. Go forward and down through the outside of the right arm. Up and forward is the outer wrist flower. Remember the knife flower.

Make a circle, and your body and right arm should not rotate with the knife."

From this point on, Professor Hu Yanzhan’s content will become more in-depth.

Wang Sheng held the sword and imitated Hu Yanzhan's movements.

After seeing that everyone's moves were in good shape, Hu Yanzhan also started to make new moves.

He stood with his legs shoulder-width apart, holding a knife in his right hand and hiding it on his right side, with the tip of the knife facing forward. He pushed his palm forward with his left hand and looked straight ahead.

"Hold the knife in your right hand from your waist to the front of your body, at shoulder level, with your left palm tucked into the inside of your right arm, and look straight ahead."

"This is a piercing knife. The piercing knife should be straight, with the arm and the knife level, and the point of force reaching the tip of the knife."

"Stand your legs apart, hold the knife behind your right hand with your right hand, and push it in front of your body with your left palm."

"This can be broken down into six actions."

"One right hand holds the knife to the left, with the left palm closed in front of the right chest.

Raise the right arm upward, pass the knife through the outside of the left arm, and point the knife tip downward.

Sanshang keeps moving the knife, with the back of the knife close to the back of the body and around the right, with the left palm facing forward and spreading the palm to the left.

.....................

6. Hold the knife in your right hand, rotate your arm outwards and lift it up. The back of the knife is placed against the back and around the left shoulder. The left arm is downward and inward in front of the right chest."
