Are you asking for something on using the sword and spear at the same time? If so Talhoffer has some plates that deal with using the longsword and and the spear together while in armour. If otherwise, please clarify.

Merry Christmas

One of the intersting things in Talhoffer on the use of the longsword and spear together is the use of the crossguard to act as a guide for shooting or throwing the spear at your opponent. You can develop a lot of power and accuracy in this manner and be able to quickly follow up the shot with your sword.
