Chapter 397: How to Speed Up the Making of Armor
Cao Cao decided not to take the initiative to attack LΓΌ Bu, but only to make defenses everywhere, waiting for the arrival of the Xuzhou army.
In the days when the armor was re-made, Lu Bu was not idle.
He had to visit the barracks almost every day, especially the newly formed paratroopers and the new air force.
If it weren't for the armor, he would have led the army to defeat Cao Cao.
It was precisely because of the delay that Lu Su returned to Pengcheng and took Zhao Yun's place to command the air force.
The paratroopers were commanded by Tai Shici and were originally subordinate to the Air Force, but when Lu Su took over, Lu Bu assigned them, and since then the paratroopers have an independent structure.
As for Zhao Yun, Lu Bu transferred him to the cavalry according to the previous agreement.
Zhao Yun is good at using spears, and he can use them even more on horseback.
After being transferred to command the cavalry, Zhao Yun was even more at ease, and in just a few days, the cavalry changed its style.
When Lu Bu goes to the battlefield again, the cavalry trained by Zhao Yun must be able to make a lot of contributions to him.
In addition to preparing for military affairs, Lu Bu also pondered making some novelties every day.
If he had enough time, Lu Bu even wanted to ponder papermaking and printing.
It's a pity that the day of his decisive battle with Cao Cao is not far away, and he simply doesn't have so much time to ponder about things that are not useful for the war for the time being.
What worries Lu Bu the most is the armor.
Zhang Shiping set up an arsenal, and the scale of the initial scale was not too large, and the progress of manufacturing ordnance and armor was certainly not too fast.
After the inferior armor is destroyed, the armor needs to be replenished to the army, and even if all the craftsmen rush to work, it will not be able to be produced in a month.
There are many things that Lu Bu has to solve, but the matter of armor cannot be delayed.
If he didn't solve the armor of the soldiers, he could only wait indefinitely.
Walking out of the air force barracks, Lu Bu greeted Sun Ce, who was following behind him: "Accompany me to the arsenal to have a look." β
"Chu Hou has to go to the arsenal two or three times a day." Sun Ce replied: "No matter how you look at it, it's like that, if you go a few times a day for the sake of armor, the more you look at it, the more anxious you feel." β
"I suddenly came up with an idea to make armor faster." Lu Bu smiled and said to Sun Ce: "It's a pity that there have been too many things recently, so I have ignored this matter. This will come to mind, and he should go to the arsenal and explain it to Zhang Shiping, he should be able to do it very safely. β
Lu Bu said that he had a way to speed up the production of armor, but Sun Ce was confused and did not understand what method could be used to improve the progress of making armor.
Lu Bu didn't explain to him either, and patted his arm lightly: "Don't think so much, accompany me to the arsenal, you will understand." β
He insisted on going to the arsenal, but of course Sun Ce couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to go with him.
He came to the arsenal two or three times a day, and Lu Bu had become a regular visitor here.
The arsenal has only recently been completed, especially recently when he has been busy making armor, and of course Zhang Shiping will stay here every day.
Hearing that Lu Bu was here again, Zhang Shiping came out with a few stewards.
"Chu Hou came here today, I don't know what to order?" Welcoming Lu Bu, Zhang Shiping bowed and asked.
"What? I've been here too many times, and you're tired of it? Lu Bu asked with a smile.
"Don't dare!" Zhang Shiping replied: "The arsenal is related to the survival of Xu Yang Erzhou, and even if the Marquis of Chu comes thirty or fifty times a day, it should be. β
