A bloody thousand-strong army entered the Great Elm Castle, attracting the attention of slaves and soldiers.

As an important town south of the Yellow River, Dayu Valley is carefully managed by Yang Zheng.

Not only a large dock fort was built, but also a pass was built on the south, east and west sides.

After a few months of respite, the remnants of Zhongqiang revived, driven by hatred, and united with Burning Dangqiang, Faqiang, and Prison Sister Qiang, and attacked Tuntian many times.

Like a wolf in the mountains, he holds a grudge.

As a result, the Great Elm Valley has become a frontier position.

The reason why this team of 1,000 people is striking is not only bloody, but their bodies are mutilated.

Either they have broken hands or broken feet, and they have to support each other when they walk.

The crippled people, in this land, have always been the bottom of the middle and the bottom, and anyone can oppress them, and anyone can look down on them.

But now no one dares to show contempt.

No one dared to come forward and insult them.

Because each of them is covered with a layer of dead air.

Looking at the eyes of the people around you, it is also like looking at a dead person.

"Captain Zhao is back." A tun chief bowed.

Zhao Deng nodded as a return gift, and when he entered the fort, Yin Chun, the deputy commander, glanced at him lightly, "Three hundred young and strong prisoners, thirty carts of grain, seven hundred large and small livestock, the inquest is correct, draw a charge, and you can collect the team and return to the Western Capital." ”

The most valuable officials in the Western Capital are not the captains and commanders, but the commanders.

Only with the addition of control means that he is the confidant of Weiyuan General Yang Zheng.

The commanders of the four Wuwei battalions, Duan Da was sentenced for rebellion, and the remaining Yin Chun, Zhou Fang, and Yuan Xiao were all added to the deputy commander rank to guard one side.

There are also five generals, Gong Feizhi, Luo Huzi, Eshanshi, Pu Jin, and Du He, who are also rising, and Gong Feizhi and Luo Huzi have also been added to the deputy system.

Basically, the people who walked with Yang Zheng were all mixed well.

Moreover, it is rumored that the next round of army expansion is in the plan, and many people in the army are gearing up and waiting for the next opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"It's still early, and my subordinates are willing to attack again!" Zhao Deng said expressionlessly.

Yin Chun reminded: "There is still an hour before the sun sets, the roads in the mountains are complicated, and there are many wild beasts, can you think clearly?" Moreover, in the past half a month, your department has won the most, and the credit is enough. ”

It's the first time I've seen someone who plays with his life like this.

Zhao Deng shook his head, "My subordinates are willing to attack again." ”

As early as the Battle of Luogu, the two had already known each other.

However, at that time, Zhao Deng was the closest person to Yang Zheng, and Yin Chun was just a pawn, but he made a different choice from Zhao Deng.

The fates of the two have changed differently as a result.

"I have prepared a soup of meat in the city, and you can eat as much as you want, and you will also have bows and arrows, and a sword, so you can put them on, and besides, the wounded can stay in the fort, and someone will heal them." Yin Chun understood Zhao Deng's feelings very well, and there were many people who were shaken by the situation at that time.

Who doesn't want to live?

It's just that Yin Chun at that time was more willing to believe in Yang Zheng.

"Thank you." A warmth rose in Zhao Deng's eyes.

After drinking the meat soup and replenishing the water and dry food and ordnance, the complexion of the remnants of the soldiers was much better.

Yang Zheng asked Zhao Deng to recruit soldiers on his own, and Zhao Deng did not choose physically strong slaves, but recruited disabled veterans.

It's not that he can't get along with himself, but it's thoughtful.

Slaves need long-term training to become an army, and they also have to go into battle to see blood, and it takes at least half a year to run in before they can barely get a look.

And the disabled veteran can use it.

can still have a heart with him.

experienced the pain of life and death and limb separation, all of them were extremely ferocious.

Where others dare not go, they dare, and the big tribes that others dare not move, they dare to move......

People are disabled, but their ambition is more tenacious.

A knife was wrapped around the severed arm, an iron spear was tied to the broken leg, and an iron spike was tied to the elbow......

It's a formidable army.

And tonight their target is the largest group of burning Dangqiang, located in the Poyan Valley, with nearly 10,000 people.

Zhao Deng stared at it for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

As the sun set, the remnants of the soldiers walked out of the Great Elm Fort and headed south......

In the blacksmith workshop, a set of blue-black iron armor was worn on Liu Heng's body.

This is the cold forging armor that Yang Zheng has been thinking about for a long time.

The process is not complicated.

Do not use fire, leave the size of the chopsticks at the end of the nail slice without beating, and beat repeatedly at room temperature until the thickness is reduced by two-thirds.

This method of cold forging can bridge the internal pores of the steel, make the soft parts more dense, increase the strength of the armor, and the surface can be seen through hair.

As a result, the weight is also two-thirds lighter than hot-forged armor.

Defense has been greatly increased.

Because there is a protrusion the size of a chopstick's head at the end, it is also called a chick nail.

"This armor uses the lowest steel, but it is much stronger than the best iron armor defense." Fan Tiefu said.

After the Western Capital was stabilized, Yang Zheng invited all the blacksmiths in Jishi Castle to come over.

A large courtyard was specially opened on the side of the Taishou Mansion, and their families were brought in, more than 100 guards were sent to defend it, and special servants were arranged to take care of their daily life.

In addition to not being able to go out at will, the treatment exceeds that of the average lieutenant.

"Old man, you are so light, don't hurt your grandfather and me." Liu Heng does not have any tradition of respecting the old and loving the young.

Fan Tiefu is in his fifties, and he was scolded by Liu Heng, a kid under twenty, but he didn't dare to fight back.

Liu Heng's notoriety has long spread in Xiping.

There are only two people in their eyes, Yang Zheng and Meng Yu.

Yang Zheng glanced at him, "Bring a knife." ”

The pro-soldiers were immediately delivered.

Yang Zheng held a knife and stared at Liu Heng with ill intentions.

"General, this can't be a joke."

Yang Zheng joked: "What, you are also afraid of this guy?" ”

Liu Heng swallowed his saliva, "The genus and subordinates are not afraid, but the seven mothers-in-law in the family are broken, if I die, these seven species will starve and freeze." ”

Is this guy a stallion? So capable?

Yang Zheng admired the five-body throw, if he has the ability, give birth to one hundred and eighty babies, and cultivate them carefully, what will he worry about in the future?

It is said that the Sima family relied on its huge reproductive ability to become entrenched among the scholars, and it became today's behemoth.

"Don't worry, after you die, your wife will be raised by me, and you don't have to worry about it!" Yang Zheng blurted out, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with his words.

Boss Cao didn't say much about this.

Liu Heng didn't hear it, and laughed twice, "Come on, come on." ”

Of course, everyone knows that this is just a joke between the two.

You can use a straw figure to try the knife.

Yang Zheng slashed down with a knife, and Liu Heng did not dodge or dodge.

With a bang, the blade was bounced back.

Liu Heng laughed proudly.

Yang Zheng increased his strength again, and slashed down, with a "click", the knife edge actually collapsed, and there was only a shallow mark on the armor.

"Good armor!" Yang Zheng couldn't help but praise.

"This little old man has beaten ninety-nine eighty-one days with his own hands, so he has such defensive power." Fan Tiefu looked proud.

Eighty-one days?

It takes three months for a set of armor, which is really inefficient.

It is basically impossible to install it on a large scale.

Armor is actually a symbol of national strength.

But if you can make one set, you can make a second set.

The process can be improved, and the technology can be upgraded.

Yang Zheng asked Liu Heng to take off his armor, drape it on a wooden stake, and shoot it with a strong crossbow.

At a distance of fifty paces, dozens of arrows were fired in succession, and not a single arrow penetrated.

Yang Zheng was overjoyed, "I will reward you with 500 stone grain, 20 pieces of silk and 1 pound of gold, and the other participants will be rewarded with 100 stone grain, 10 horses of silk and 5 taels of gold. ”

Several people were ecstatic, "Thank you, General!" Thank you, General! ”

"But this cold forging armor is too slow, you need to pay more attention."

Fan Tiefu said: "Don't worry, the general, the little old man will be attentive." ”

Yang Zheng nodded.

Liu Heng grabbed the cold forging armor and hugged it tightly in his arms.

It made the surrounding soldiers laugh.

In addition to cold-forged armor, the production of weapons has also increased greatly due to the use of the steel-filled method.

Ring-headed knives, arrow clusters, and spears can all be mass-produced, and the quality is much better than that of old weapons.

Yang Zheng has begun to equip the pro-guard battalion.

Some mid- and high-ranking generals can also customize their own unique weapons.

Someone lengthened the handle of the ring-headed knife, so the horse chopping knife appeared.

Some people will think that the spear two or three zhang long is not suitable, so it is shorter, and the spear appears.

Flexibility is greatly increased.

There are also people who like heavy weapons, such as cones and axes.
