"Don't worry, my talent can help the soldiers resist some of the weight, and my battle formation can increase the effect of fortitude and unyielding."

His talent can increase defense, and the weight of his iron armor and shield is also a type of attack, as long as it is an attack, he can resist.

"In addition, when I train, I will increase the weight from 100 pounds a little bit. One day, even if they don't rely on my talent and battle formation, they will be able to fight with more than 400 pounds of weight. Even Zhao Feiqi was not able to fly from the first day. Lian Po said loudly.

"The disadvantages are too obvious, even if such a legion can be trained, it can't run fast on the battlefield, and others can completely bypass it and not fight you." Le Yi shook his head and said.

'I'm sorry, Du Wujun. If the king agrees to you, then there is no way to build other equipment. Le Yi thought in his heart.

Zhao Guo's iron production is certain, and he calculated that just by building these equipment, he will deplete all of Zhao Guo's iron reserves.

And what about the equipment of other legions?

What is his bow and weapon made of?

You can't wait until you've finished building Lianpo's big shield and iron armor, right?

"I hope that your words are wrong, how can there be a legion without shortcomings? The black armor army of Bai Qi can't run fast, and isn't it still killing all sides on the battlefield? The last general dared to guarantee that as long as the Xuanjia Army could be trained, it would definitely surpass the white black armor army. Lian Po said confidently.

In order to be able to convince Zhao Kuo, he trained the Iron Legion in his mind. Lian Po suddenly became able to argue, and even Le Yi was not his opponent.

Zhao Kuo looked at the veteran Lian Po's expectant eyes, and he really couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Can you build it?" Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Zhu.

"If the king has to build it, the workshop can. It's just that in this way, there is no iron to forge other weapons. Zhao Zhu said bitterly.

"King, you don't really have to promise this guy, do you?" Pang Xuan said in disbelief.

"Brother Pang." Lian Po glared at Pang Xuan angrily and said through gritted teeth.

He has the best relationship with Pang Xuan, and Pang Xuan also knows what he thinks in his heart, but he didn't expect to stop him now.

"Brother Lian, in the face of the country's righteousness, our personal personal relationship can only be put aside first." Pang Xuan said righteously.

The relationship is good, but this matter must be stopped. He wants to form an army, and who doesn't want to form an army?

If the workshop has made equipment for Lianpo, who will make it for them?

It's a big deal to bring two jugs of wine to apologize afterwards, but this matter must not be compromised.

"Do I still want to praise you for the distinction between public and private." Lian Po said word by word.

"Thanks for the compliment." Pang Xuan clenched his fists, and then said to Zhao Kuo, "King, although the legion mentioned by General Lian Po seems to be very strong, but after all, no one has verified it, and the last general thinks it is better to think about it again." Or wait until the strength of my Zhao Kingdom is further strengthened in the future, and now you can use ordinary equipment to do it first, and the effect will not be too bad. ”

If Zhao Guo's iron production and labor were sufficient, Pang Xuan would support Lian Po, and he also knew Lian Po's long-cherished wish.

But not now!

"The effect is much worse, can you take a big knife and take a bamboo pole the same?" Lian Po's beard trembled.

"So the main problem right now is the lack of iron, right?" Zhao Kuo said.

"Yes." Zhao Zhu said.

Zhao Guo's current annual iron output is between 100,000 jin and 200,000 jin, which is not even as good as a small steelmaking plant in later generations.

Due to the limitations of mining technology, it is not realistic to suddenly increase production, so you can only do it gradually.

"In this way, the workshop will first build equipment for other legions, and when these equipment are finished, then build equipment for the Xuanjia Army, what do you think?" Zhao Kuo said.

Le Yi and Pang Xuan have no opinion, they oppose Lian Po in order to build their own equipment, not to prevent Lian Po from building equipment.

"As long as the king agrees, he can afford to wait another year." Lian Po said with a smile, he has been waiting for so long, and it is not bad for a year and a half. He also understands that he is asking a little too much, and it is normal to build it at the end.

As for Zhao Zhu...... He is not qualified to express his opinion......

"This king will find a way to buy some iron from other countries, and Duwujun won't wait too long." Zhao Kuo said.

Except for Qin and Zhao, other countries did not implement iron monopoly, and they could still buy it if they wanted to, but not too much.

Zhao Kuo planned to let the Zhao Chamber of Commerce buy it from the private sector, and at the same time exchange it with porcelain, coal and other items to gather enough iron as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lian Po said excitedly.

"By the way, when the time comes, let's build a few finished products first, and let Du Wujun see that there is no problem before continuing to build." Zhao Kuo commanded.

"No." Zhao Zhu said with his fists clenched.

Lian Po's equipment was solved, and Le Yi was a little impatient, and asked, "Where is the shop for building bows and crossbows?" ”

"I hope that the crossbow is the most difficult to build, and there can be no error, only the best skilled master can build it, so it is arranged in another workshop." Zhao Zhu said.

"Take me there." Le Yi said.

"No." Zhao Zhu bowed and walked forward.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and said.

It didn't take long for a group of people to come to another shop, where there were relatively few craftsmen, only about 100 people. These are the most skilled craftsmen in Zhao Kingdom, and each of them has at least ten years of experience.

Near the gate, there are already built crossbows and bolts, exuding a terrifying metallic chill.

"These are all built according to the blueprints of the crossbow machines sent by South Korea. The crossbow machine has a row of slightly raised nails instead of a scale, and the distance between each two nails is fixed, which is more advanced than the normal scale and can be aimed quickly. In addition, there is an arrow that holds crossbow arrows, which can be automatically loaded with arrows, and you can release three to five arrows in a row at a time. ”

"The arrowheads (arrowheads) are all made of iron, which are harder and more penetrating than bronze arrowheads, and have bloodletting grooves and barbs, which are difficult to remove once they enter the body. If it is forcibly removed, it will inevitably suffer greater damage, and even die of excessive blood loss. ”

"Before that, the arrowheads of my Zhao Kingdom were all made of copper, and later a batch of high-grade iron was sent from Korea, and then it was changed to iron." Zhao Zhu said.

It's not that Zhao Guo's iron can't be built, but it's more difficult and not cost-effective.

"I heard that there was a kind of crossbow machine made of iron in South Korea back then, which was huge and needed two or three people to pull, and it could shoot eight hundred steps away just by relying on the power of the crossbow machine, which was extremely lethal." Lian Po said.

"Then why is it gone?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Because the Korean crossbowmen have become the army soul legion. A strong crossbowman in the state of military soul can achieve ultra-long-range attacks, and can attack enemies dozens of miles away. There is no need for the iron crossbow machine to exist. In addition, South Korea's territory is getting smaller and smaller, and some of them can't support it, after all, every crossbow arrow is burning money, so they stopped building iron crossbow machines later. Lian Po said.
