A month has passed, and by this time the weather has begun to warm up, winter has passed, the grass has begun to sprout, and Mo Chen has also gathered people to prepare for the first spring ploughing here.

The soldiers are all from poor families, either farmers or hunters, although they are soldiers, but they have not forgotten their own duties, with seeds everything is easy to say, and there is a jumping lake in the center of the canyon, although there are no advanced water diversion facilities, but he has someone! Anyway, these soldiers have to be trained with heavy loads, and it is not difficult to carry a piece of water, the so-called strength of many people.

However, when everyone was busy with spring ploughing, the blacksmith did not join, he was an ironsmith, and he didn't know how to farm at all, and he was busy with more important things than others, that is, forging weapons, and the ordnance obtained from Zhao Guo, Mo Chen couldn't look down on it.

On this day, Mo Chen was still inspecting the farmland and training with the soldiers, but the blacksmith suddenly found Mo Chen with a silver glittering sword.

"General, general, look, look at this arrow, it's a good sword! You see. The blacksmith excitedly.

Mo Chen took the long sword and found that it was actually an iron long sword, and when he started the sword, he felt that the sword weighed about fifty catties and was more than one meter long.

Mo Chen was a little surprised: "Blacksmith, how did you build this sword?" Aren't we no longer in this iron? ”

The blacksmith said excitedly: "General, it's a coincidence, didn't our battalion enter the hunting area for jungle warfare a few days ago?" Coincidentally, where did I find a few pieces of ore, I picked it up and looked at it, it was actually iron ore, and then I brought it back and refined it, and it took several days to forge it, you try it, how about this sword? ”

As he spoke, the blacksmith pulled out another long knife, handed it to Mo Chen, and said excitedly: "General, you try, you try." ”

Mo Chen looked at the long knife in the blacksmith's hand, and did not hesitate, with a wave of the long sword, he slashed at the bronze long knife in the blacksmith's hand.

"Ding"

The bronze scimitar in the blacksmith's hand broke off in response, and Mo Chen was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Okay, good sword, really good sword, blacksmith, your task now is to collect more iron ore, create more weapons, armor, I let Xiong Da Xiong Er cooperate with you." ”

"Okay, General, I'll go look for iron ore immediately, this loose ore is there, and this mine will definitely not be able to run."

After the blacksmith finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, and Mo Chen didn't care, this motivation was applauded.

In the middle of the night, Mo Chen came to the training ground and still saw a woman dressed in black training hard, this person was Bai Yamei.

Mo Chen walked over and said, "Bai Yamei, why don't you rest so late?" ”

This is Bai Yamei as if she had just discovered Mo Chen, and hurriedly stood up and clasped her fists and saluted: "See the general." ”

Mo Chen nodded, in response, and persuaded: "Bai Yamei, this training is not about training later and later, high-intensity training during the day, and you should also pay attention to rest at night, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it." ”

"Yes, general, it's just that his subordinates are battalion captains, if they don't work harder, how will they lead everyone in the future, since the general let his subordinates take on this important responsibility, his subordinates can't live up to the general's trust." Bai Yamei said firmly.

Mo Chen saw that Bai Yamei was still so strong, so he said: "Don't train in the future, go back and rest, this has a good spirit, and the training will be more effective the next day." ”

"General Xie, but his subordinates ......"

"It's an order." Seeing that Bai Yamei still had a rebuttal, Mo Chen suddenly stared at him and said with a serious face.

Bai Yamei saw that Mo Chen was in an ordered tone, even if she wanted to continue training in her heart, she could only clasp her fists and say, "Yes, general." ”

Mo Chen continued: "The basic intensity of your training is about the same, if you want to train at night in the future, just come to me!" It's not enough to go around to keep fit, how to kill the enemy is the key. ”

Bai Yamei was immediately overjoyed, in fact, she had wanted Mo Chen to teach her the martial arts of killing more than once, but Mo Chen had always disagreed, saying that the basic skills had not been practiced well, and now she finally agreed, which made her almost cheer with excitement.

Mo Chen handed the long sword that the blacksmith had just given him to Bai Yamei and said, "Also, your bronze scimitar will not be used in the future, this is for you." ”

"Thank you, General." Bai Yamei happily took the long sword, and said secretly in her heart: "Is this a gift for me?" Hee-hee! ”

…………

Three days later, the blacksmith really found the iron mine, which made the soldiers boil, and with the mine they could use sharp knives and tough armor.

Mo Chen also directly asked the battalions to take turns to mine, and even the young men of Gan Mao's logistics were also emptied, and the fields could only be handed over to women.

The whole army is in full swing and embarks on a mining journey, while the blacksmith sets up a new set of armor according to Mo Chen's request.

A month later, the armor was freshly baked, and in front of Mo Chen were two pairs of armor, one for men and one for women.

The upper body of the armor is a seamless iron sheet around the human body, and the connection is composed of pieces of iron, connected by wires, shoulder pads, arm pads, leg guards, and so on, and the women are almost the same, but there are some more feminine features in front of the armor, and there is no difference.

Mo Chen was very satisfied, so he ordered the blacksmith battalion to rush out, and at this time, the wheat had grown a little high, and the other vegetables were also very good, and the meat, the lake in the canyon could produce a lot of fish, and the herbivores in the depths were also multiplying in large numbers because there were no natural predators, and everything was developing in a good way.

However, winter has passed, spring has arrived, and the Hun tribe who do not leave home has also begun to go out to graze, which makes Mo Chen a little worried, because the soldiers on the mountain have seen the Huns coming to graze around the plain mountains from time to time, and the blacksmith smelts iron and makes weapons, which will produce a lot of smoke, which makes it easy for him to attract the attention of the Huns.

Seeing that the soldiers were almost trained, Mo Chen called the group of Huns to act as lobbyists and went to the Dawa clan to buy slaves.

Although the Huns of the Huyan tribe eat well here, who is good, but they always feel uneasy, they seem to be under house arrest, but on this day, a person came to their camp, all this is different, the person who came is none other than Mo Chen.

The Hun of the Huyan tribe, who could speak the original dialect, immediately stepped forward and said, "General Mo, you are finally here." ”

Mo Chen smiled: "Hehe, I've been a little busy lately, and I've neglected all Huyan friends, please forgive me!" ”

The old man of the Huns immediately waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, don't slacken, don't slacken, I don't know ...... the general this time?" ”

Mo Chen said with a smile: "The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, today I came to ask friends from the Huyan tribe to introduce the Dawa clan, and I am going to buy some slaves." ”

When the Huns of the Huyan tribe heard that Mo Chen said that they wanted to contact the Dawa clan, they were immediately overjoyed, and it was still the Huns who could speak the Central Plains dialect, so they held back their joy and said, "I don't know when the general will go to the Dawa clan?" So we are still preparing. ”

Mo Chen smiled: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today!" Let's go now. ”

"Huh?" The old man of the Huns was a little surprised, this is too eager!

"Questions?" Mo Chen wondered.

"No... No, that...... Let's go now. The old man of the Huns was stunned for a moment, and then recovered.

This said that he could leave, which made the Huns of the Huyan tribe, who were strictly guarded, very happy, and went out of the canyon with Mo Chen and the big man of the five hundred force battalion.

The Huns didn't have any idea about Mo Chen's five hundred elites, after all, Mo Chen's status as a general was not ordinary, and it was normal to have some soldiers to protect him.

What they didn't know was that an hour after they left the canyon, the gates of the canyon slowly opened again, and groups of soldiers slowly walked out of the canyon where they had been staying for months.

First Xie Chen's cavalry battalion, the cavalry battalion was scattered in a canyon, one team of ten people, and then the rest of the battalions, in addition to the logistics department, there was also the necessary to stay, Mo Chen sent all his troops.
