Liu Blacksmith is the most famous master of Curie Pass, the weapons made by his hands, its tenacity and sharpness, no one can compare with it, now he, except for the occasional personal knife for the generals of the Fufeng Army to make weapons, has not been to the front line, most of the daily work, is to patrol between the workshops, supervise the production of all links in the workshop. In the Curie Guan workshop, hundreds of blacksmiths are now his subordinates, for such a day, he is very comfortable, you must know that just two years ago, he was still a slave in the Donghu people, although he has a good skill in making iron, which is just a few more bones than other slaves. Since being rescued by the Fufeng army led by Gao Yuan, his life has been getting better day by day, with this good skill, he has stepped into the position of commanding all the blacksmiths here, and in terms of how to make weapons, even the chief manager here, Cao Tiancheng Cao, has to listen to him.

Blacksmith Liu has been promoted from a blacksmith to an official under the general's mansion of the Eastern Army, and the change of his identity is not his good skill in making iron, but his own experience, he has figured out how to remove impurities from ordinary wool iron and refine more tenacious fine iron, which greatly improves the quality of weapons in the Eastern Army.

Like Liu Blacksmith, there was another person who might have been awarded the rank of official for his contribution to the upgrading of the weapons of the Fufeng Army, this person was called Mao Jie, who first reduced the weight of the arm crossbow by one-third, and then invented the repeating crossbow suitable for cavalry use.

The traces of the two also made the craftsmen of Curie Pass see another road to heaven, so in Curie Pass, the craftsmen with a skill are all thinking about how to create more powerful killing weapons for the Fufeng Army, so as to get the opportunity to change their fate, and Gao Yuan took advantage of the situation and set up a magic craftsman battalion led by Cao Tiancheng, and all the skilled craftsmen recruited inside. Their only job was to figure out how to make a weapon more suitable for military use. Blacksmith Liu and Mao Jie, both of whom are the leaders.

Holding the drawings handed by the infantry, Liu Blacksmith was very embarrassed, as an old man in Curie Pass, Liu Blacksmith was very familiar with the infantry, at that time, they stood in the craftsman village, and every day they would see the infantry riding on the war horse, going in and out like the wind, but now. Such a brave figure actually lost a leg.

"General Gao said, let you make this thing for me, put it on your lap, and you can move freely." The infantry said bluntly: "Can you make it?" ”

As an old craftsman, Blacksmith Liu just glanced at it, and knew that this thing is not particularly complicated to make, but it has particularly high requirements for materials, and the elasticity and toughness should be extremely good, but it is necessary to move freely? He glanced up at the infantry. "General Bu, please let me say it bluntly, this thing is easy to make, and Xiao Lao'er also treasures some particularly good fine iron here. But it's hard to say that you want to move freely, General, you're flesh and blood, and after this thing is made. Put it on your legs, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a lot. ”

"You just have to make it up, and do other things. Leave it alone! The infantry waved his hand, disapprovingly. Suffering? Is it more painful than when I personally cut off this deteriorating left calf?

"Yes!" Blacksmith Liu didn't say much, for him, to make this thing the best is to give the broken leg general the best favor. "General, then I'm going to offend, please General roll up his pants, I want to measure it."

When the trousers were rolled up, not only Blacksmith Liu, but even Tie Hyun, who accompanied the infantry, couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and the wound was smooth and neat, which showed how decisive the infantry's knife was at the beginning.

"How long can I get something?" The infantry was somewhat impatient.

"General Bu, there are several masters in the Divine Craftsman Camp who are good at blacksmithing skills, and they can make finished products in three days at most."

"Three more days? It only takes a day for you to make a double-edged Mo knife! "The infantry was dissatisfied with the tunnels.

"General Bu, this is different, your requirements for this thing are much higher, his requirements for elasticity and toughness are far beyond ordinary weapons, we also have to consider the comfort level of the general after you wear this thing!" Liu Blacksmith said.

"Three days is three days!" Tie Hyun on the side took over the conversation, "But the thing must be good, Blacksmith Liu, if you do this thing well, not only the infantry general, but even General Gao will be very happy." ”

"Little Lao'er must do his best!" Blacksmith Liu hurriedly bent down, for Gao Yuan, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart, this is his reborn parents, if it weren't for Gao Yuan, where would he still be a slave in Donghu, worrying about three meals a day and how to feed the family.

During the three days of waiting, Tiehyun saw how the infantry practiced riding again, and it was not much of a problem for the infantry who had lost one foot to ride slowly, but it was almost impossible to control the horse with only two feet, so that the hands were freed to complete a series of tactical maneuvers on the horse. Watching the infantry fall from under the high-speed galloping war horses again and again, Tie Hyun was pale, this was a complete joke with his life. And the infantry is accustomed to it, from the time he climbed on the back of the war horse again, he has been fully prepared, from the initial heavy fall again and again, half a day can not get up compared to the current time, he has become much more skilled, at least, he has been able to fall off the horse at this time, effectively protect himself from great damage.

The infantry was already able to swing a saber with one hand on a horse and make a slashing motion. The goal of the infantry is to completely free his hands, and his most powerful skill is archery, only by completely freeing his hands, he can use the sharp arrows in his hands to solve the enemy in front of him on the galloping war horse.

Three days later, Blacksmith Liu brought the first pair of finished products. It seems very simple, a three-finger-wide metal plate is attached to the knee-like cover, and an arc is bent at the bottom, and an iron palm similar to a foot plate will probe out.

The iron sleeves wrapped in soft leather were put around the knees of the infantrymen, and the leather belts were wrapped around the thighs of the infantrymen, tightened and buckled, and the infantrymen who sat there held the armrests of the chairs with both hands, and seemed to use great strength to finally stand up.

"General Bu, how many steps can you take and take a look?" Blacksmith Liu's voice was also a little trembling, in addition to the excitement, it was a tiredness that could not be concealed, in the past three days, he was almost sleepless, it seemed that the inconspicuous thing, but it was the work of several masters, the metal plate that supported the weight of the body, but more than a dozen fine iron of the same length were repeatedly beaten and fused together. The snowflake pattern densely covering the surface of the plate fully illustrates his rarity, and this plate, if it is used to make knives, is designated to be sharpened like clay.

Where the infantry stood steadily, first took a step forward with his right foot, paused slightly, the iron foot finally lifted up, took a step forward, and when he landed on the ground, his body was staggering, and the iron hyun beside him hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, but only shook slightly, and the infantry was already standing firmly.

One more step, another step, and the infantry walked out of the house and out into the open space outside. A smile appeared on Tie Hyun's face, "Blacksmith Liu, you have made another contribution, after you go back, I will tell the general, you have taken care of yourself." ”

"Thank you, Iron Commander!" Blacksmith Liu said with a smile: "Finally, I have fulfilled my mission, General Bu, that is also one of my life-saving benefactors, I am very happy to be able to do something for the general." ”

As he spoke, the infantry had already walked back, and compared with his crooked figure when he walked out, he was obviously much more proficient when he walked back, "Very good, very good!" He said excitedly.

Blacksmith Liu squatted down and looked at the part where the iron sleeve was connected to the infantry's knees, although it was only a short time, the place had already turned red.

"General, this ......"

"It's okay!" The infantry smiled and waved his hand, "After a while, these places will grind out calluses, and naturally there will be no trouble, besides, I will ride on a horse most of the time in the future, and the load is not too big, Blacksmith Liu, I have to ask you to build a few more pairs for me, I don't want to one day he suddenly breaks, but I don't have spare supplies, that is going to be a mistake." ”

"General, but please rest assured, as long as the general is still in Curie Pass for a few days, we can make two or three more pairs, once raw, twice cooked, and then it will be easier."

"Okay, I'll wait in Curie." The infantry turned to Tie Hyun with a smile, "Brother Tie, you don't have to accompany me here, I will wait for General Sun and them at Curie Pass, and then join them together, you go back and resume your life, tell General Gao that it won't be long before he can see the original infantry again, and the infantry will always be the best cavalry under his command." ”

Ten days later, when Sun Xiao and He Lanyan led a thousand foot soldiers and three hundred cavalry to appear at Curie Pass, they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the infantry who had lost their crutches from Curie Pass and walked out step by step.

"General Sun!" The infantry bowed to him, "The infantry report to you." ”

Sun Xiao turned over and dismounted, walked to the infantry, didn't speak, squatted down directly, stared at the iron palm that fell to the ground, and stood up after a while, stretched out his hand to hug the infantry into his arms, "Brother, welcome back." ”

The two hugged each other tightly and pounded each other's backs hard.

Letting go of Sun Xiao, the infantry turned his head to look at He Lanyan, and said with a smile: "Master, you have to teach me equestrianism again!" He lifted the iron foot and waved it a few times in the air, "An apprentice with iron feet, master, you will definitely have a sense of accomplishment!" ”

He Lanyan stared at the infantry, "As long as you are not afraid of hardship, I will teach you again." He Lanyan said it easily, but there were tears flashing in Helanyan's eyes.

The tiger head and horizontal knife who followed closely behind the two of them, watching the infantry boldly show off his iron feet in front of Sun Xiao and He Lanyan, all shook their heads involuntarily, "This guy is not a human!" (To be continued......)
