The head, mainly for the protection of the head, is called a semi-circular iron pot, and the back is made of iron pieces to protect the back of the head, cheeks and neck. Chef Pu also added a copper wing pad to the front to protect the bridge of the nose and mouth, and was connected to the tun neck, showing the shape of an eagle's wing.

The shape of the sleeve armor resembles a short-sleeved pullover, made of iron pieces that protect the shoulders and armpits.

Under the iron sheet, tanned animal skin is used as a mat, which adds a bit of protection. This kind of armor used to equip ordinary soldiers is said to be only available to the Praetorian Guards in Luoyang, and even the county soldiers under Niu Fu have not yet been equipped.

Dong Li had seen the cuff armor before, but he felt that Master Pu's cuff armor seemed to be better.

A good armor, along with the corresponding weapons, is the foundation for building a strong team. Dong Li watched a TV series in his last life, which said that an elite army must have their soul. Dong Li also wants to do this, but the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and building the soul of the army is not the most important thing at present.

For Dong Li, building his ideal human framework is the top priority.

At the same time, any small progress will produce a cross-era significance. Dong Li knows this very well, and at the same time, he also knows that the small progress comes from the tireless creation of craftsmen. When countless small advances come together, they will change from quantitative to qualitative. This requires a process, and Dong Li has patience.

After appeasing and reining the hearts of the craftsmen, Dong Li ordered Teng Li'er to gather the White Horse Qiang soldiers and strengthen the guard of the general camp.

He took Pu Yuan to the military tent and asked Pei Yuanshao and Dong Qi to guard outside the tent.

"Pu Yuan, now you can speak freely. What rewards do you want? Just tell me. ”

"Lord...... Please take a look at this first. ”

Pu Yuan opened the iron box and took out a roll of bamboo slips from it. Dong Li took it and took a look at it, which recorded the methods of making various appliances, but there were no graphics, just the most basic structural principles.

"It's ......"

"My lord, our family has been craftsmen for generations and lives in Guanghan. As you know, when it comes to sword casting and creation, Shu County's craftsmanship has always been a leader. My ancestors have been engaged in craftsmanship since the Spring and Autumn Period, and have gone through the efforts of countless generations of ancestors......"

"Pu Yuan, I'm not interested in knowing the history of your ancestors, I just want to know, what is this!"

Dong Li's eyes burned and he stared at Pu Yuan.

Pu Yuan took a deep breath, "My lord, my ancestors once learned the art of public loss, and later left this volume of "Pumen Examination Records" according to the ancestral craftsmanship. When the tyrannical Qin was in power, the first emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, and my ancestors were also affected...... The catalogue has been completely destroyed, leaving only this volume of text. Yuan likes the art of craftsmanship since he was a child, so please reward the lord and let Yuan Neng refine according to the principles on this "Examination Record". It's just that Yuan doesn't know what items will be made, and it may even cost a thousand gold, but in the end he will get nothing...... I don't know if the lord is willing? ”

Dong Li looked at Pu Yuan and rubbed his nose gently.

"Doesn't your father know about this "Examination Record"?"

"Our ancestors once said that craftsmanship is not only about craftsmanship, but also about talent and spirituality. My father's craftsmanship can be said to be exquisite, but ...... Therefore, this "Examination Record" must not be of great use in his hands. After Yuan was born, his grandfather, after three years of observation, donated this volume of "Examination Records" to Yuan. In the past five years, even if he was a slave in Baimaqiang, Yuan has never stopped studying it. The scholars and doctors all thought that the craftsman was the art of the contemptible husband, and Yuan Jin saw that the lord attached importance to it, so he dared to make a request...... If the Yuan Neng experiment is successful, it will definitely help the lord and the lord in the future. ”

"Great cause? What can I do? ”

Dong Li smiled, "What I ask for is only for the family to be able to ...... for a long time However, since I said it, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you. I can do this too. Test, and report what is needed. ”

"Thank you, lord."

"Pu Yuan, I can understand your thoughts. But I feel that with this volume of text alone, I am only afraid of ...... If you wish, you can visit the world's skilled craftsmen. Anyone who has a skill will be able to help you. When you are successful, you may have a greater harvest by studying this "Examination Record". If you wish, I can sponsor you to study. ”

Pu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, he got up and knelt on the ground.

Hearing the words of the lord, Yuan Fang woke up...... Yuan Yuan traveled the world and visited skilled craftsmen for art. If he can succeed in the future, he will definitely live up to the awakening and support of the lord today. ”

"Well, since you have this idea, go tell your father and get ready. Tomorrow I will send someone to send you money, and you can go at any time. ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Pu Yuan got up and withdrew from the military tent with his body bowed.

Dong Yan also walked out of the military tent and asked people to lead the horse over, "Yuan Shao, Dong abandon...... By the way, you call Dong Zhao again, and the three of you will go with me. Teng Li'er, I am optimistic that I will do the camp, if there is anything, I will send someone to find me in the big house. ”

The big house is Dong Li's name for the Dong Mansion built in the pasture.

Unlike the Dong Mansion in Lintao City, the Dong Mansion in the ranch has only one row of houses, which is now mainly inhabited by old ladies.

Pei Yuanshao and others responded to the order and followed Dong Li to the big house.

When the four of them came to the big house, Lu Yi and Dong Tie happened to be dismounted at the door of the big house.

"Lu Yi, give me the text you copied, go to grandma by the way, and bring the text you copied a few days ago."

Lu Yi answered, unwrapped the package from the horse, took out a stack of papers, and put it in Dong Li's hand.

"Xiao Tie, help me watch outside the house for a while."

Dong Tie nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, Xiao Tie understands." ”

Dong Li took Pei Yuanshao and the others to his study in the big house. He sat down first, then waved his hand for the three of them to sit down as well.

After a while, Lu Yi walked in with a package and placed it on the table in front of Dong Li.

"Childe, this is something that grandma asked people to create, and if you say it's handed over to you, you can understand what it means."

A swarthy iron plaque, the size of a palm.

On the front is a giant wielding a hammer, and on the back are three ancient inscriptions: Trolls.

Dong Yan held the iron plate and was stunned.

What does it mean that grandma asked people to build this iron plate?

Giant Hammer ...... The ancients called it a hammer, also called a vertebrae. Whether it's myth or legend, there aren't many people who use hammers.

"Grandma, do you have anything else to say?"

Lu Yi said softly: "Grandma said: The troll wielded the golden hammer, and the world was shocked. There are 3,000 people under the door, and he is in the city of Yang. ”

Dong Li suddenly realized...... Grandma had clearly seen his intentions and even named him.

The troll wielded a golden hammer, and the world was shocked......

Dong Li laughed, "There are 3,000 people under the door, and they will be in Heyang City...... Trolls, trolls, what a name! ”

"Lu'er, go back and tell grandma, just say that Ugly has understood!"

Lu Yi smiled and agreed, turned around and exited the study. Dong Li opened the package and looked at the paper full of words inside.

"I plan to establish three armies, and there are three volumes of military books. Today, I am looking for the three of you to let the three of you take on the heavy responsibility. ”

When Pei Yuanshao and the three of them heard this, they only felt their blood boiling.

Cheered up, "We are willing to serve the Lord to the death......"

"This is the book of the infantry soldiers, and it was given to Yuan Shao...... Recruit a thousand people, and choose all the strong ones to train. If you become an army within a year, I should report to my father and make you a captain, are you willing? ”

"Pei Yuanshao dares to die if he doesn't want to die!"

Dong Li picked up another volume of the military book, "Dong Zhao, I have a volume of the cavalry book and give it to you...... You can also lead a thousand troops, and those who are skilled in bows and horses can be selected. In the same way, if you become an army within a year, I will report to my father and promote you to the rank of cavalry captain. ”

"Whoa!"

"Dong Qi!"

"The last general!"

Dong Yan seemed to hesitate, looking Dong Qi up and down, "Can I trust you?" ”

Dong Qi was stunned, "My lord, Dong Qi wishes to be born and die for the lord, and he will never turn his back." If this is not true, there will be thunder on the same day. ”

The ancients attached great importance to oaths, and they easily did not make vows.

Dong Li got up, walked in front of Dong Qi, and helped him up with both hands, "You have been with me for the shortest time, but I also believe in you...... When I see you, it's like seeing my brother-in-law...... I believe in you, and I hope you will live up to my trust. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the last volume of the military book and put it in Dong Qi's hand.

"This is the Fubo Iron Cavalry, and I was still thinking about how to form it. It wasn't until I saw the horse armor made by Pu Yuan in the camp just now...... You can go to Lu Yi and withdraw enough money from her to buy the Great Wan Liang Horse of the Western Regions. I'll give you two years to build me a force of Iron Cavalry that will satisfy me, and you'll be willing to take on the task. ”

"Ah, my lord...... Abandon the oath to fulfill the trust of the lord. ”

Dong Qi stood up straight, held the book of war, looked at Pei Yuanshao, and then at Dong Zhao.

The three of them suddenly smiled bitterly, "Lord, there is one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"This, this...... All three of me can't read! ”

Dong Yan smiled: "I have already considered this, from today onwards, you will be literate with Lu'er." If there is something you don't understand in the military book, you can ask Lu'er. And also...... If you don't pass Green's test, you won't be allowed to lead the army. ”

After the three of them looked at each other, "Thank you, lord!" ”

Pei Yuanshao hesitated, and couldn't help but ask softly: "Lord, after this person is formed, what should be the name?" ”

"Trolls, this army is called Trolls!"

Dong Yan touched his chin and smiled faintly. The slender eyes narrowed: Han Sui, wait. The day my trolls enter the Golden City is the day you bestow your head. If the sky has eyes, how long can you be proud of Han Wenyue?
