The armor of the little soldier is just right on his body, the size is right, he is wearing iron armor, holding a spear, and he is immediately full of energy.

Next to him, Cheng Lian took out his waist knife and slashed it at the soldier, but the soldier's face was pale and he didn't dare to hide.

Dangdang, after the three knives, only white traces were left on the armor, and there was no damage.

Lu Bu asked Xiao Bing, "How do you feel?" ”

"I felt the force of the knife, but it didn't hurt."

"What else?"

"I feel that the weight is not light, at least a dozen catties, but I feel very safe."

This soldier is talking about Han Jin, and more than a dozen catties are actually seven or eight catties, which is quite bearable.

Lu Bu took a closer look, the shovel head was a little annealed in the process of building, and he didn't know if he could still prevent the bow and arrow.

Immediately arrange to put the armor on the straw man, so that the archer can shoot arrows at a distance of 100 paces.

The feathered arrows crackled into the armor, leaving a few small holes in the armor, but there was also an arrow that swooped through the gaps, piercing the leather armor.

Ten steps closer to the arrow, the feather arrow can already penetrate a small hole in the armor, but it still can't penetrate.

Guan Xu was surprised: "This defense is really strong, too strong, with this armor, it is quite a life." ”

Lu Bu felt that this armor was only suitable for light cavalry or light infantry.

In general, it can effectively prevent knife slashing, spear stabbing and ordinary bows and arrows, but there is still no defense against sledgehammers and strong bows and crossbows.

Lu Bu was overjoyed: "Okay, well done." Zhang Tiezhu did a good job, and he will reward you with a saber. ”

Lu Bu said and handed the short blade of snowflake iron inserted in the side of his riding boots to Zhang Tiezhu.

Zhang Tiezhu is a little blind, he knows Lu Bu's treasure knife, but the scope of the reward is limited to his generals, Cheng Lian, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong and the like, like him, a craftsman in charge, it is inconceivable that he can get such a heavy reward. This treasure knife is one or two thousand times, and it is rare.

"This is too precious, and the villain doesn't dare to accept it."

"If you want to take it, you will take it, Ben is going to set up a separate armory battalion for the blacksmiths, you have to think of a way, how to quickly gather the craftsmen you need."

The corners of Zhang Tiezhu's eyes were hot, he was born as a blacksmith, and he followed many warlords in the warlord melee, but they all looked down on the craftsmen and treated the craftsmen as people, but Lu Bu improved the welfare of the craftsmen and treated him as the leader of the craftsmen.

Immediately bowed: "Thank you lord, the villain remembered, from here to the south, there is an iron mountain in Taishan County, and most of the local people take ironsmithing as a sideline, if you can collect some blacksmiths, it will be a great help." ”

There are indeed a lot of iron mines in Taishan County, but it is not easy to do at present, and it is under the control of Taishan thief Zangba.

"Well, we've been recruiting blacksmiths lately, but it will take time. You are selecting some apprentices from tens of thousands of tunding, think of a way, change your thinking, each apprentice will know a process, don't teach too complicated, just stabilize the output of 15 to 200 sets a day. ”

"Yes, my lord." Zhang Tiezhu took the order and went down.

In this era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the main battle weapons were mainly bows and arrows, broadswords, spears, and spears, and the weapons were simple.

Most of the minions had no armor and wore coarse cloth as their uniforms.

Why can Lu Bu's 5,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry make Dong Zhuo jealous, and he has to spend a lot of effort to win over him, it is because these 5,000 cavalry have a large number of iron armor, all of them are three or five years old cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

"Fenggong, how many iron armors are there left for the iron cavalry under our command?"

Cheng Lian remembered it more clearly: "Back to the lord, there are still 2,200 pieces of iron armor left, and they can all be matched." ”

In the next half month, Lu Bu had already recuperated in Jinan County, trained the army, and did not fight.

At noon that day, Lu Bu was writing calligraphy.

Hou Cheng hurriedly came over, and knelt down as soon as he came in, startling Lu Bu. You must know that Hou Cheng is Lu Bu's hair is small, and he usually has a good relationship.

"What's the matter, get up and say it."

"I went out to walk the horse today, and I accidentally injured the red rabbit horse."

Lu Bu got up from his seat with a slick, the red rabbit horse is more important than Diao Chan.

"Oh, is it badly hurt?"

"It's not heavy, it's a little broken. This morning I went to the east gate outside the horse herding, but met the big Liu family of donkeys, the red rabbit horse saw that the female donkey could not walk, had to go over, the result was with the Liu family's male donkey, his male donkey man, although the red rabbit horse won the battle, but also by the donkey bite a few bites. ”

Lu Bu was relieved: "Let's go, follow me to see the Red Rabbit Horse." ”

In the stable, the red rabbit horse was grazing there, and when he saw Lu Bu coming, he snorted proudly.

There are several bleeding spots on the body, which are bitten by the donkey, and the donkey is ruthless and does not let go.

Lu Bu thought about it, although the red rabbit horse is good, there is only one, and there must be a few spare good horses.

After all, Hou Cheng is a deputy general, and his martial arts are reasonable, so it is a bit overkill to let him be responsible for breeding horses.

"Hou Cheng, do we have mules in our army?"

Hou Cheng scratched his head: "Mules, I haven't heard of them, the stock of mules is very small." It can't outrun a horse, and it is rarely used in the army. ”

As he was talking, the soldiers outside came to report: "Liu Mu, who was cleaning the city gate, asked to see him, saying that he was here to admit his mistake." ”

"Call him in."

After a while, Liu Mu, the pastor who said that Lu Bu painted a big cake, came in and knelt there.

"Liu Mu visited Lord Thorn Shi, and the villain knew that he was wrong. Now there are no hungry people in or around the city. ”

"You're right, it's not easy to solve the food problem, the productivity of farmers is very low, and it's too difficult to grow enough food just by relying on hoes and shovels, and you can't do without big livestock. Horses are expensive to raise and donkeys are small, so they would have needed a compromise livestock. ”

Liu Mu looked up at Lu Bu: "Could it be that the general wants to develop mules?" ”

"Yes, from now on, you will be in charge of raising horses and mules."

Lu Bu gave Liu Mu a detailed explanation of the matter, Liu Mu was also surprised, seeing that the burden is not light, Lu Bu said, the red rabbit horse can also be taken out and used, let Liu Mu select the best mares, use the red rabbit horse as the father's parent, to produce excellent horses. This horse farm is called Chitu Horse Farm, which takes the high-quality route, grows alfalfa, selects materials, and aims to cultivate first-class war horses, and establishes a strict pedigree and selects horses.

The second is the mule breeding farm, which uses sturdy horses as the male parent and donkeys as the female parent to breed mules.

There are 3,000 acres of alfalfa planted in the alfalfa garden of the original Jinan County, and later it was abandoned due to the Yellow Turban War, Lu Bu tidied it up a few days ago, and found that the root system of the alfalfa is still intact, fertilized and watered, and now the alfalfa has sprouted
