"I'm tired of the old man..."Yue Liang sat on the ground, and said to Ma Qiang and the others with a smile, "I have fulfilled my mission, I have succeeded!" This time, there are at least 4,000 catties of baking. ”

"It's steel! It's steel!! The cheers from afar, Yue Liang didn't know where the strength came from, he jumped up, and then rushed to the end of the molten steel, where the molten steel was cooled by the casting mold and solidified into a somewhat rough steel ingot.

"Good steel, this is good steel." Yue Liang was holding a steel ingot that was still a little hot, and ran over to show off happily, "Look at it, this is good steel!" ”

"Come on, let someone try it!" Huang Zhong took the steel ingot and put it on the ground, pulled out the ring head knife he was carrying, and slashed down at the steel ingot with enough strength, only to hear the sound of the bell, everyone looked again, Huang Zhong's ring head knife had a small opening on the blade, and the steel ingot only had a slight dent, it was obvious that the material of this steel ingot was better than the knife in Huang Zhong's hand.

"This is a twenty-tempered knife, is this steel fifty-tempered?"

"This is manganese steel, although because our technology is not mature, these materials also have flaws, not up to the perfect manganese steel grade, but it is also an excellent material, and it will be better after quenching." Ma Qiang took the steel ingot and said helplessly.

There is indeed a lot of iron ore, but not so much manganese ore, and there are fewer and fewer high-grade manganese ores dug behind that hole, and rhodochrosite is only an associated ore of siderite, which has been depleted for several months this time.

Most of China's rare ores are in the south, especially in Jiangxi, where Ma Qiang wants to drool when he thinks about tungsten ore.

"Elder Yue, all the steel ingots in this batch are used to make high-quality ordnance, I am going to equip it with people above the tun commander, if there is any leftover, keep it, and the sergeants will use ordinary steel ordnance."

"Okay, with such good material, I will definitely give you a few good blades, you say it yourself, what do you want." Yue Liang looked at Huang Zhong and the others with an expression of coming to pat himself, Huang Zhong and the others were also interested, and one by one Yue Lao and Yue Lao flattered.

After all, this is not an ordinary blacksmith, but also the minister of the Ministry of Industry, one of the five elders, and there is no shame in flattering him.

Looking at Yue Liang, who was surrounded by a group of fierce men, Ma Qiang yawned, he was so sleepy that he wanted to sleep.

"Congratulations to the camp master, with these magic weapons, I will have one more point of certainty of victory on the battlefield in the future." Duan Ying was pushed by Duan Yu to Ma Qiang's side and said.

"These are just foreign objects, are the Qin army's ordnance weaker than Gao Zu and Xiang Yu?" Ma Qiang smiled, as long as there is no epoch-making difference in the ordnance, then it will always be people who really decide the victory.

At that time, the Americans just didn't understand this, and as a result, they were hit with a question mark on the head by a red-eyed rabbit in North Korea.

After the success of iron smelting, he began to build ordnance, Ma Qiang suddenly remembered Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Zhuo County, they should not have built weapons yet, the legendary male and female double-strand sword, Zhangba snake spear, should not be there a shadow.

Although Ma Qiang didn't know whether Zhang Fei used the Zhangba snake spear.

But I don't care what you use, anyway, when it comes to me, you have to use this!

Anyway, why hasn't Guan Yu come yet? I have sent people to guard the gate of Zhuo County for almost a month.

The red-faced and long-bearded man should be quite recognizable.

Could it be that he came to Youzhou after the Yellow Turban Rebellion?

Ma Qiang was thinking nonsense, while returning to the bedroom and falling asleep, he didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, he was really tired.

The next day, Ma Qiang drew a bunch of ordnance sketches and found Yue Liang, who had just woken up.

"Elder Yue, let's see if these weapons can be beaten."

As soon as Yue Liang saw these weapons, his spirit immediately rose.

"Yes! What kind of weapons are these? Why is this knife so big? ”

"Uh... As long as you can fight, by the way, Huang Zhong seems to know how to use a knife, you ask him if he wants to fight such a knife. ”

Ma Qiang remembered that Huang Zhong seemed to be a sword and a bow, although he had only seen him use a ring head knife, and he didn't know if the big knife could be used.

The main weapons of horse warfare in the Eastern Han Dynasty are still guns and halberds, guns are for armor breaking, although the halberd sacrifices part of the armor-breaking ability, but because of the small branches, the attack range is larger, and it is easier to bring the enemy off the horse, although the current cavalry has a high bridge saddle, but there are no double stirrups, so it is still a little unstable when riding a horse to fight, and it is easy to be poked down.

And the use of broadswords, maces, axes and so on is considered a strange weapon, almost no one will use it, because these weapons are extremely demanding on the user when used on a horse, and it is difficult for a normal person to maintain such a balance with such a weapon on a horse, let alone kill the enemy, these blades should actually be used for physical training or heavy infantry combat.

But it is not without exceptions, for example, there was a general named Chen An in the Jin Dynasty, and the history books record that when he broke through, he was holding a seven-foot broadsword in one hand and wielding a Zhangba snake spear in the other, which is simply a combination of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, of course, it is also possible that Lao Luo saw his record and divided him into Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

After more than ten days, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei received Ma Qiang's invitation and went to the Red Star Camp together, and Jian Yong also happened to come back, looking at Jian Yong, Liu Bei and others warmly.

Ma Qiang was a little apprehensive.

Especially when it comes to thinking of the fact that the people of this large camp have not yet used a person who is willing to call him the lord.

Ma Qiang kind of wanted to call Liu Bei the lord.

It's so angry!!

"Why is the gentleman displeased?" Liu Bei saw Ma Qiang's unhappy face, and asked puzzled.

"Listening to Xianhe, the Central Plains is full of displaced people, but the imperial court does not order relief, how can you be happy."

Ma Qiang is also good at talking nonsense.

Liu Bei blushed a little when Ma Qiang said this, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"I'm not ashamed, it has nothing to do with you, let's go, go eat something first, and then go and see the gift I prepared for you and Yide, it just so happened that Xianhe also came back, just come to get one." Ma Qiang pulled Liu Bei with one hand and Jian Yong with the other.

Hmph, isn't it just pulling a man's hand! I will too!

"What a good thing, let me and my eldest brother must come!" Ma Qiang found that Zhang Fei and Gan Shi didn't know when the two brothers hugged each other, but looking at the wine jug in their hands, Ma Qiang immediately understood.

These drunkards are soon to arrive at the common language.

While eating and drinking, Ma Qiang also introduced Huang Zhong, Duan Ying and Liu Bei, the newcomers to the Red Star Camp, Duan Ying naturally didn't say his real name, he only said that he was taken away by Xianbei since he was a child, and he didn't have a name, so he called himself Tiemian.

Duan Ying accepted the nickname given to him by the sergeants.

Zhang Fei naturally scolded a Xianbei dog mongrel or something, and he could hear Xian Yuyin on the side applauding again and again.

Speaking of swearing, Zhang Fei is quite confident!
