Chapter 179: Everything is ready
Guo Yang began to get busy, day and night.
All of them were sent out, some were in charge of cutting down trees, some were in charge of burning charcoal using the Anu method, and some were in charge of making leather loatins, which belonged to the kind of twelve connected in a row, which would ensure that the strong wind continued.
And Anu's task is to lead a team of ten hundreds, occupy the canyon 700 miles away, and completely transform it into a huge military camp.
Externally, all information and roads were blocked, and only ten hundred-man cavalry were stationed in the barracks, responsible for patrolling and defending, and all the herdsmen within hundreds of miles of the surrounding area were relocated to other places.
After the renovation was completed, the craftsmen moved in.
After years of development, Guo Yang's team of craftsmen is very large, with as many as 1,000 people.
These people are directly commanded by Anu and are divided into different types of work, which greatly improves efficiency while ensuring that some core technologies are not leaked.
The ore mining is only responsible for the excavation of the mine.
The one who crushes the ore is only responsible for breaking those stones.
Ten tall furnaces were built, and ten centurions, each of whom was in charge of one of the most loyal cavalrymen, were selected to be responsible for ore smelting.
These people have been repeatedly examined and foolproof, and they are absolutely loyal to their centurion, thousand-torn and Guo Yang, and they are all iron-clad men.
After experiencing the forgetfulness of the people of Tianshui Village and the betrayal of Wang Huzi and others, Guo Yang attaches great importance to people's hearts more than everything.
His friends are getting fewer and fewer, but the quality is getting higher.
Correspondingly, Guo Yang began to be more generous to these true people, except for some particularly important secrets, such as iron-making technology, which must be kept secret, the cultivation of the true practice was almost unreservedly taught to Ah Jiu, Ah Mu and others, and let them select a group of loyal people and also began to cultivate.
There is no aura, no spirit stones, no elixir, and the cultivation of truth is almost slim.
But after a period of cultivation, everyone has at least greatly improved their physique, which makes Guo Yang very pleased.
……
The fire is pure and wants to burn the sky.
Ten tall furnaces worked day and night, and a group of swarthy, unkempt-haired descendants of merchants went into battle shirtless, and under the control of Guo Yang and Anu themselves, large chunks of iron were smelted and fashioned into scimitars on the spot.
It was a bright knife, bent forward and straight, slashing at the enemy's body, rattling, and cutting with the momentum, it was an irreparable and terrible wound.
Ah Jiu, Ah Mu and others quickly learned the technique of striking iron.
Ding, bell.
Ding, bell.
Ding, bell.
Stable, restrained and long-lasting.
Sweat flowed down and dripped on the dark red blade, and with a pop, an undetectable dark spot appeared.
With each knife, Guo Yang will make people drip blood on it, making it a blood-drinking blade.
Each knife will become the sharpest weapon in the grassland, and will cause great damage to the enemy.
……
He didn't create 4,000 scimitars, because Guo Yang didn't have so many young people in his hands to equip them.
There are few people on the grassland, and after training and equipping all the young people, there are only 2,000 people.
Among them, there are also some bloody old men, such as the old patriarch Gilda.
With the addition of the previous 1,000 men, Guo Yang's army broke through the 3,000 mark, which has become a terrifying force.
Because Guo Yang's cavalry was equipped with saddles, scimitars, flower bones and horse bows, so, when encountering light cavalry, they could basically crush the opponent and solve the battle with a charge.
This equipment, almost unique among the cavalry, did not make much difference in peacetime, and once the two armies charged against each other, the degree of terror probably only known to those who had been stabbed.
In addition, at the insistence of Anu, a hoplite cavalry of 300 men and horses was secretly equipped.
Those three hundred people, Guo Yang just glanced at them from a distance, and he knew that this was Anu's secret weapon. Encountering some formations of infantry or cavalry, these 300 centaurs will inflict irreparable damage on the opponent.
These three hundred centaurs, Anu trained alone, and kept the vast majority of ordinary cavalry secret.
Anu insisted that taking the opponent by surprise and taking him by surprise was the correct use of heavy cavalry.
In addition, Anu commanded the craftsmen under his command to repair the chain mail stripped from the corpses of those Yan people, and improved them with wool ropes, small pieces of iron, etc., to make them more tough, even if the Blood Moon Scimitar slashed at it, it could not cause fatal damage, not to mention the arrows and bronze weapons of other cavalry.
It's just that this improved armor is even heavier, reaching a terrifying fifty or sixty catties, plus spears, bows, crossbows, and flower bones, even the most divine horses can't keep up the long journey.
But this kind of heavy cavalry, when the two armies are facing each other, suddenly charges, is definitely a terrifying existence.
……
The Tengger tribe was calm, herding sheep and horses, as if nothing had happened.
The old patriarch Jida organized people to slaughter tens of thousands of cattle and sheep step by step more than half a year ago, and quietly made a large number of beef jerky and mutton jerky.
The dried meat is stored by Duanmu cattle, and no one knows how much.
This is the meaning of Duanmu Niu.
It is undoubtedly a very powerful idea to prepare grain and grass in advance, and to let that kind of daily production activities completely conceal the true intentions of the army.
I have been doing business in Luoyi City for many years, even if I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen how pigs run away.
Guo Yang is very satisfied with this work, this is a good brother.
Like those short-sighted dogs in Tianshui Village who are only greedy for immediate interests, and Wang Huzi is forgetful and ungrateful, he is really not worthy of being Guo Yang's brother.
Guo Yang also seriously thought about what is the real brotherhood.
Of course, Guo Yang has let go of those people, he has more important things to do, and it is obviously stupid to keep dwelling on rotten dirt.
The entire Tengger tribe, as well as the grassland people of the nearly 100 affiliated small tribes, knew almost nothing about Guo Yang's army, but they only felt that he was very powerful and could be relied on by everyone.
They were also willing, because, since Guo Yang united all the tribes, there has not been a single case of jackal dog robbery within a radius of thousands of miles.
In the process of training, those cavalry easily wiped out many bandits and disobedient small tribes.
In your own sheepskin robe, it is best not to have lice on other people's bodies, which is what Guo Yang means.
Anu and others resolutely carried out this order and completely turned this large grassland into their own territory.
After many years of chaos in the grassland, there is finally a small clean place where you can graze sheep and horses with peace of mind.
