Tea Mountain.

In autumn, the mountains are full of withered grass, fallen leaves are flying, and birds are chirping.

Under a big tree, the sunlight sprinkled down through the gaps in the leaves, mottled and swaying in the wind, like a golden butterfly chasing it, Qin Huaidao looked at the bleak scenery around him on the deck chair, and his mood was also bleak, and there was endless anxiety.

Blowing up the Li Mansion last night is a bad breath, but I don't know if Li Shangxiong was killed or not, if he didn't die, then he could only wait until he rescued He'er before he started, I just hope that this attack can shock Li Er and achieve the effect of Liwei, if not, he will face endless pursuit.

But Qin Huaidao has no regrets!

"Uncle!"

Luo Ying hurriedly came over and said in a low voice: "Uncle, the craftsmen are in place, and the materials have been purchased, but no one will do the Sky Monkey and steel wire you want, you see?" ”

"I'll teach you, what about the people who went to Chang'an to find out the news?"

"We leave early in the morning, and we can't get back until dusk at the earliest."

Tea Mountain is not close to Chang'an, and it takes a day for fast horses to go back and forth, Qin Huaidao got up, and under the leadership of Luo Ying, he first came to a courtyard, where there were more than a dozen men waiting, all of them were subordinates from the Protector's Mansion, responsible for taking care of the tea mountain, the center was reliable, everyone saw Qin Huaidao feel very cordial, and saluted: "Young master!" ”

"Uncles, I'm going to trouble you again."

"The young master is polite, and it is our duty to serve the young master."

Qin Huaidao is not a gentleman who does not understand the sophistication of human feelings, on the contrary, he is delicate and proficient in people's hearts, first ask a few words about everyone's recent daily life, whether there are any difficulties, physical condition, etc., express concern, and then thank, a few words of encouragement, and after seeing that the morale is mobilized, he began to teach the production method of the monkey.

It is not difficult to channel the monkey, add a lead to gunpowder, wrap it in paper, and fix it on a thin stick, the most difficult thing is the ratio of gunpowder, but this is easy for Qin Huaidao, first deal with and purify the charcoal, sulfur and nitrate that have just been purchased, the quantity is not much, but it is not to make explosives bags, and the monkey does not need much gunpowder.

After the purification of the three materials is completed, Qin Huaidao will mix them together in proportion alone, even if the people in the house are loyal, this proportion cannot be leaked, and people's hearts cannot withstand the test.

The lead is soaked in cotton paper, dried and rolled into gunpowder, the production and packaging are simpler, Qin Huaidao demonstrated twice, reminded some precautions and points, and let everyone make it.

After lunch, Qin Huaidao went to a secret cave in the depths of Chashan under the leadership of Luo Ying, which is a secret weapon production base, a few months ago Qin Huaidao gave Luo Ying a crossbow and a Mo knife to build a drawing, the crossbow has been tested in the first war of the Japanese Kingdom, and the range and performance are much higher than before.

"Uncle, this is Modao, take a look." Luo Ying handed over a Mo knife.

Mo knife is a long-handled broadsword, with blades on both sides, about three meters long, you can hold the knife in both hands, which is conducive to chopping horses, a knife down, people and horses are broken, it is a big killer weapon for infantry to deal with cavalry, this time to rescue He'er in the grassland is just used, anyway, Li Er and Li Er have already torn their faces, and there is no need to hide clumsiness.

It is not easy to build a Mo knife, it is the pinnacle of weapon manufacturing in the Tang Dynasty, the finished product rate is very low, there are only a few thousand in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is a secret army, and it is directly under the command of Li Er.

The low yield is due to the fact that the steelmaking technology has not been fully mastered, and the Mo knife is made of alloy, which is more difficult than steelmaking, but these are not difficult for Qin Huaidao.

The cushion of the Mo knife in his hand, the weight is not light, not to mention the use of ordinary people, it is difficult to hold it, wave it a few times, buzzing, Qin Huaidao slashed it with a knife, the thick wooden stake at the mouth of the bowl was cut off, the knife edge was smooth and neat, and the blade was unscathed, Qin Huaidao was overjoyed.

"Uncle, I've tried several times, but I can break the infantry armor." Luo Ying said in general.

"Good, how many have you built?"

"According to your instructions, two thousand and one hundred have been built."

Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction: "Let people make some wooden boxes and pack them, load them with them, and don't expose them in the territory, otherwise someone will not be able to sleep, how about preparing immediately?" ”

"Ten big cars, all of them are built in our Qinjiazhuang, the load is no problem, the mules and horses are also carefully selected, there is no problem for long-distance travel, and I will arrange someone to do the wooden box, one day is enough."

"That's good, let's go." Qin Huaidao waved his hand, gathered all the blacksmiths, and organized everyone to build a steel wire, which can be used to warn the monkeys, which is very useful in the vast grassland, and the steel wire is used to kill the enemy.

In this era, there are tripwires, but where is the wires used in the tripwires?

Wire craftsmen will do, but with the mold pouring, red and soft after drawing, but the drawn wire is too soft, the toughness is not enough, easy to break, to put it bluntly, the carbon content is not enough, only need to increase the process, that is, the wire will be burned red, soft, and then carburized, that is, to increase the carbon content, the carbon content of steel is generally 0.02% to 2.11%.

Considering the hardness and toughness, Qin Huaidao chose about one percent, but there was no instrument test, so he could only make a rough estimate, and who knows how much it actually made? As long as it works.

Teach everyone to be a system

After making the craft, Qin Huaidao started to shake his hands and rested beside him, while thinking about what weapons he needed, thinking that the Turkic cavalry horses were fast, coming and going like the wind, and the best way was to fight fast with a fast fight, which required a scimitar.

Thinking of the scimitar Qin Huaidao, he couldn't help but think of Shi Yeshan, that guy was simply a natural field battle, a genius in cavalry warfare, but unfortunately he was a general of the imperial court and could not be mobilized.

"Would you like to make some scimitars?"

"And the heavy cavalry?"

Qin Huaidao thought for a moment, but decided to build some more scimitars, as for the heavy cavalry, forget it, it's too late, immediately transfer half of the blacksmiths, and then transfer the people who are secretly trained to bring in the iron hammer, this kind of physical work everyone is good at.

Chashan secretly trained 2,000 people, practiced for more than half a year, and used the training methods of the special forces of later generations, plus four meals a day, with meat and nutrition, everyone had good combat power, but Xue Rengui sent 1,000 people to leave secretly and rush to save people.

A thousand people quickly came to help, Qin Huaidao drew a scimitar drawing, and slightly changed the scimitar drawing that was handed over to Shi Yeshan last time, the arc was increased, and the handle was lengthened, so that you could hold a scimitar battle knife with both hands, or you could put the handles of two scimitars together to form a whole.

The scimitar connected to the whole body is horizontal on the horse's back, it is necessary to hold the handle tightly with both hands, fix it on the saddle, and kill the enemy quickly with the horse, but the scimitar for Shi Yeshan cannot be connected as one, and it still takes some strength to hold one in one hand.

The blacksmith is responsible for making iron, the soldier is responsible for beating, tempering, and removing impurities, and after the hammering is formed, the blacksmith takes it to penetrate into steel, quenches the edge to increase the sharpness, and then arranges someone to polish it, and a scimitar process is completed.

Everyone was busy and orderly, and Qin Huaidao was on the side to guide and avoid mistakes.

They were busy until dark, and everyone ate and drank enough to continue their work.

Qin Huaidao returned to Zhuangzi, and saw that the Monkey had been manufactured, and it was full of five large boxes, which were enough, so everyone rushed to the cave to help make knives, and the time was pressing, and all the forces had to be mobilized.

The moonlit treetops and the night breeze blows.

A fast horse rushed into the tea house, it was the return of the person who went to Chang'an to inquire about the news, Qin Huaidao had already waited urgently, and greeted him, the other party turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly saluted: "Young master, the court issued an order to change Qinjiazhuang to Qin County, and the young master was named the king of Qin County, and the holy decree arrived at Qinjiazhuang in the morning." ”

"What...... Crowned king? Qin Huaidao was a little confused, Li Er, what is the trouble?

Luo Ying asked in surprise: "Uncle, is it possible that you will become a saint and admit defeat?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth." Qin Huaidao scolded, and he also doubted Li Er's intentions in his heart, was he really shocked, scared, and wanted to compromise, or was it a plan to delay the army?

But no matter what, at least for the time being, you won't attack yourself, and you can rest assured to save people.

"Young master, there is one more thing." The other party wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say it." Qin Huaidao urged.

"I went to Qinjiazhuang, and Mrs. said that General Luo came to visit secretly to verify whether we did the bombing of Li Mansion, and there was a meaning of going out of the mountain, but Mrs. didn't know the inside story and didn't reveal any news."

"Which General Luo?" Qin Huaidao was a little surprised.

"It's the uncle of Commander Luo." The other party hurriedly said.

"My uncle? How could he possibly get out of the mountains? Luo Ying was taken aback.

Qin Huaidao was also a little shocked, Luo Tong was confined at home by Li Er, and he would never be used, it was considered a waste, how could he go out of the mountain again and set foot on the battlefield without the holy decree?

However, Luo Tong has the courage to be unstoppable, and his martial arts are the strongest among the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and he is only in his thirties now, and he is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can he be willing to bury it for a lifetime? In history, Luo Tong was buried for a period of time, and finally was enabled by Li Er, with Xue Dingshan to conquer the west, all the way through the pass, so not majestic, but because of the continuous fighting, the physical consumption was huge, and when he arrived at the Jiepai Pass, he and the veteran Wang Buchao died in the "intestinal battle".

"What does it mean that such a Meng will come to the door?"

Qin Huaidao was a little stunned for a while, and faintly excited.
