A group of people added materials, put molds on the molds, and Cheng Jiabing wore a thick cowhide suit at the tap mouth of each blast furnace, and only two eyes were missing, and a team of people carried the hopper and waited there.

Cheng Hong stood on the observation table with a special long hook, and next to him were a few blacksmiths who learned to watch the fire, when to stir, when to blow toner, when to open the furnace and put molten iron, and they took the trouble to teach over and over again, and the blacksmiths learned seriously.

Basically, except for the first furnace, all are operated by blacksmiths, Cheng Jiabing rushed between the furnace and the mold with the hopper in pairs, busy but not chaotic, full of tacit understanding, two months of training subtle changes made them feel like a rebirth, when a piece of casting from the mold began to fine forging Cheng Hong became the only idler present.

Life is boiling at night, when the first hook and sickle gun came down from the grinding wheel, the eyes of the Cheng soldiers were red, the best cowhide armor, the general iron armor is no different from the paper paste under the three-edged tip, one by one stretched out their necks to see, the eyeballs were about to fly out, Cheng Hong held the freshly ground hook and sickle head "Boom"

Scraping the standard iron armor in the army, one by one, wiped the sickle blade with his hand, there were only a few white marks, and he glanced at the casting mold again, and it was estimated that this furnace of iron would have to cast armor again. Cheng Hong studied for a long time before finalizing, and finally decided on a combination of various conditions that a combination of plate armor and scale armor is not like a four~ The mask that the helmet must have is a ghost face.

It's not a face-hugging design, but there is a lot of space, you can usually push it up, put it down when you fight, and the position of the eyes is lined with small iron bars that don't affect the observation very much, and the key arrows can't be shot in. The shoulder armor of the upper body is whole, with a curvature, three breastplates, two pieces of the left and right chests with a slight curvature, the middle one is slightly convex in the middle, covering the left and right breastplates, and the two whole plates of the shoulder blades on the back extend to the position of the rear heart guard, and the rest of the positions are all semi-diamond-shaped scale armor braided together.

There are eight skirts and armors, and the leg armor and arm armor are imitated by Cheng Hong's set, and the hands are covered to the back of the hands and connected with cowhide ropes, which are very flexible. Finally, there is the sword and shield soldier, here it should be called the gun shield soldier, the Mitsubishi gun with a pole of one meter five is held in one hand, the shield is a diamond-shaped tower shield, after casting, the cold forging is formed, and the hydraulic forging hammer is on and down the two blacksmiths cooperate to put the cast shield on the anvil, and it is one side for a while.

It's not too easy, the ninety shields are the first to be built, as long as the handles and leather ropes are tied, these rows are erected, and I will not move like a mountain of arrows like rain.

After three days, all the iron was used up, and each soldier received a shield according to his class, and the head of the spear and the head of the hook and sickle, the cowhide rope and the armor parts were also distributed, and the rest except for his own use were beaten into the common knives used in the army and returned to the storehouse. The warehouse manager was surprised, and the scrap iron in the past three days has become a barrier?

Look at the exquisite forging patterns on the knife are the best 100 steel knives, pick up a bowl mouth thick test knife reed target easy split, the warehouse management does not dare to slack off while entering the warehouse while reporting Cheng Biting Gold, before the completion of the warehousing Cheng Cai led Cheng Biting Gold to come quickly, after getting off the horse, Cheng Biting Jin looked at the red eye of the knife like autumn water.

Grab a blacksmith: "How did you fight this?" How did you hit so many hundred steels so quickly? "The blacksmith said what hydraulic forging hammer and blast furnace for a long time, Cheng Yanjin was even more confused, what is this? Water for striking iron? Don't use the hammer to be taken? A knife in a moment? What the? Sharpening knives is to put the knife over and sharpen it automatically? The more I listened, the more confused I became.

So he shouted: "Cheng Cai! Where's Hung Boy? Cheng Cai hurriedly returned: "In the past two days, Cheng Qianniu and his guards have been in the workshop two miles outside the city." Cheng Yanjin threw down the blacksmith and rode away on horseback, and saw the four iron-making furnaces and two huge waterwheels standing in the distance, and ran to see Cheng Hongzheng commanding the soldiers to dismantle the forging hammer and blast furnace, no way, there is little graphite, these refractory bricks are rare goods, and nothing else must be taken away from these four blast furnace-lined refractory bricks.

Cheng Biting Jinren, who was far away, arrived first before he arrived: "Big nephew, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you very much, what are you dismantling?" Is that the treasure that was given to me to forge a knife with water? What to dismantle? "Cheng Hong: ....... When is it dedicated to you?

"General, this is a hydraulic forging mill and blast furnace, now there is no iron, Yunzhou iron mine is barren, this blast furnace is temporary, so they are dismantled, the refractory bricks inside are difficult to take out, the rest of the waterwheel will not move, a while to get two stone mills, the stone mill is installed below to make a benefit to the people here."

patted the blast furnace again: "It's a pity, how much iron can this furnace produce in a year?" Cheng Hong replied: "It depends on whether the iron ore and coal and coke can keep up, if they are all sufficient, at least 600,000 catties a day can be produced." Cheng Biting Jin has one sentence in his mind: 600,000 catties a day. The whole Tang plus together can't reach three million catties a year, this guy just has a few things to top the country's annual output in a few days, where can I get it if I dismantle it?

Cheng Biting Jin shouted: "Can't be dismantled!" Why did you dismantle such a good thing? Loser, isn't it? After speaking, he was about to whip someone with a horsewhip, Cheng Hong looked at it~ yes! Pink eye was committed again, and he hurriedly persuaded: "General Cheng, don't be in a hurry, this is only temporary, and the transportation of the blast furnace is not good here, and when we find a convenient place for the iron mine, we will build a big one, which will definitely be higher than this output, let's move the blast furnace to a place that is convenient for our own use."

Cheng Yanjin also reacted, why can't he put the country's important weapon on the border, if this is destroyed, isn't it in vain? If you are unlucky, you will be your own family. turned around and glared at Cheng Hong: "Qianniu Wei Cheng Hong listens to the order!" Order you to remove all traces of ironmaking here, transport all materials away, and rebuild them when they are ready to use, and if they can't be built, military law will do it! ”

Cheng Hong hugged his fists and promised, turned around and quietly asked Cheng Cai: What is military law? Cheng Cai put his hand on his neck: "The Cheng family has only one military law." The more Cheng Yanjin looked at it, the more distressed he became, and even Cheng Hong asked Cheng Yanjin to look at the weapon, Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, it seemed that he was in a bad mood, and Cheng Hong was also happy to be idle, or else it was better to say that the ninety big shields made Cheng Yanjin see it, and his eyes would be red again.

Cheng Biting Jin got on the horse and wanted to go back: "That's right, Hong boy, the army will be pulled out in two days, and it must be dismantled." He also said to Cheng Cai: "In a while, I will send some farmers with the army to help carry things, and the things that are dismantled will be shipped together with salt."

In the past two days, Cheng Hong has been directing the farmer to load things while teaching the guards to weave armor, and finally braided the armor before the trip.

Cheng Hong shouted: "The whole team! Pack your bags and get ready to assemble with the brigade. "Yes! Instructor! "The voice pierces the sky, the strong army has been completed, and the soul of the army is like steel!
