Chapter Sixty-Eight: Tactical Intersperse? Fire coverage!
Ying Xuan got out of the carriage and followed a few people into the room.
Looking down, the man stood naked by the fire, ignoring the sound of the crowd coming in.
Forged iron was scattered all around him.
There are swords and knives, and even clusters of arrows.
Zhao Han explained at this time.
"This is a strange person, obviously a free body but doesn't want anything, he helps the Jing family build iron tools for no reason, and he is extremely obsessed with the forging of iron tools, thinking that iron tools are far more powerful than bronze tools."
Yingxuan raised his eyebrows, who doesn't know that iron is stronger than copper? What kind of weirdo is this!
Now Daqin has already begun to promote ironware!
The first to be implemented is iron farm tools, but the higher value needs to be filed in the government!
As if seeing Ying Xuan's doubts, Zhao Han continued to explain.
"I heard from the Jing family that his forging skills are very superb, but he always wants to change the method of forging."
"And this man is extremely stubborn, thinking that iron can easily destroy bronze."
He also boasted that he had forged an iron knife that split the copper tripod! But within an hour, the knife broke off on its own! ”
Ying Xuan blinked, as if he understood something.
Historically, the level of bronze forging in the Qin Dynasty has reached its peak.
Even the iron tools that have been developed for a short time are only slightly pressed copper tools.
Moreover, iron forging is far more time-consuming and laborious than bronze.
Therefore, Great Qin has not completely replaced bronze weapons with iron so far.
Iron really completely crushed bronze tools, and it was only after entering the Hundred Refining Era that it happened.
But listening to what Zhao Han said, this person can't be studying the Hundred Refining Steel Knife, right?
Ying Xuan's eyes lit up slightly.
But the thought that the army could not wait long, and the people controlled by the rebels were also in urgent need of relief.
Or let people immediately look for arrows, clusters of arrows.
After searching for a while, everyone only found some scattered clusters of arrows.
Ying Xuan frowned, this didn't work at all.
Zhao Han was also in a hurry, it stands to reason that the Jing clan would not have time to transfer.
I wanted to pull the man to ask, but the man didn't pay any attention.
Ying Xuan only thought it was a trip for nothing.
Turn around and get ready to take someone away! Before leaving, he saw the iron tool under his feet and said.
"Too many impurities! Find a way to increase the temperature of the furnace and increase the number of forgings! ”
After saying that, he walked away.
But the man below him was slightly stunned after hearing his voice.
I didn't expect to meet a knowledgeable person here!
He turned around to look at Ying Xuan and the others, only to find that the person who came with him was not a soldier in Shouchun City.
It was a group of armor soldiers who had never seen before, and when they thought of the Jing clan's evacuation so quickly just now, they suddenly understood something.
He hurried out.
"Do you need weapons and arrows?"
Ying Xuan, who was already about to leave, looked back at him.
"You know what?"
The man didn't speak, and turned and walked to a room that had been searched.
Then he lifted the wooden floor and brought out a basket of crossbow arrows!
Ying Xuan was overjoyed.
The hurried conductor pulled back the carriage.
As the planks lifted, stacks of crossbow arrows were lifted.
There are thousands of them, and the hundreds of people in the crossbow phalanx can shoot hard!
Ying Xuan was also happy, and even helped with the transportation himself.
In a few moments the carriages were filled, and the roof was lifted and the bundle was continued to be tied up, to be taken away.
The man, looking at Ying Xuan's extraordinary momentum, was a little puzzled.
"Seeing that your status is not low, why do you know the knowledge of wrought iron?"
Ying Xuan was also happy, and there were only a few crossbow arrows in his eyes.
Subconsciously said a word.
"Not only iron smelting, but I also remember how to forge steel!"
The man was stunned, he didn't know what a hundred refined steel was?
But looking at Yingxuan's meaning, it seems to be very powerful.
This aroused the interest of the man, could it be that there is someone in this world who is better at forging iron than him?
He continued.
"Hundreds of refined steel, is it better than iron?"
Ying Xuan saw that the carriage was loaded, and he was in a hurry to go back.
"Refined steel is the strongest state that iron can achieve in this era! It's the kind of thing that can split the inferior copper tripod with one knife! ”
Ying Xuan patted the strong man's shoulder after speaking.
"You still have a long way to go! You have to work hard! ”
After saying that, he galloped away with everyone.
On the spot, the man was stunned for a long time before he reacted, isn't this the iron-making method he was looking for?
He suddenly woke up, hurriedly ran back to the room, took two clothes casually and chased them in the direction that Ying Xuan left.
Ying Xuan is in a much better mood at the moment, and it seems that all the way from entering Jiujiang has been smooth, but it is full of dangers.
This is the first time that the goal has been achieved so easily.
With this batch of crossbow arrows, it can almost raise the combat effectiveness of the Huaiyang Army to a higher level.
That's what I said.
"Poor is interspersed with tactics! Rich is covered by firepower! ”
Ever since he saw the shock of a Qin crossbow covering attack in Xianyang, Ying Xuan had deeply realized the same importance of this sentence in ancient times.
In the future, he waited for his own army .......
Shaking his head, Ying Xuan interrupted his train of thought, let's solve the problem in front of him first.
At this time, a heavy shout suddenly came from behind him.
"Wait! Wait for me! ”
Everyone turned around and found that the man just now was holding his bag in one hand and holding a heavy hammer in the other hand to chase desperately.
Fortunately, the carriage was too heavy and slow.
After catching up, the man looked into Ying Xuan's eyes and said.
"My name is Lu Hui! It can help you build ironware! ”
Ying Xuan was slightly stunned, hesitated and shook his head and said.
"I'm going to war now! If you're curious about how to refine steel, you can wait until I get back! ”
The man did not stop, and he continued to follow.
"Don't delay, I'll beat you! I'll be waiting next to me! ”
Ying Xuan's eyes widened suddenly.
Is the good guy so characterful?
……
Shouchun City, East City.
A group of armor soldiers kept shrinking eastward.
Houses on both sides of the road were piled with weeds ready to set ablaze.
The old royal palace, which had stood in the far east, became their last fortress.
In the tic-tac-toe streets, civilian men are constantly being pushed forward and forced to take up arms.
Even a hoe and sickle were used for those who were underarmed.
Instead, the fully equipped armor soldiers stood behind them and retreated to the front of the old royal city.
They are well equipped and numerous, and they are armed with bows and crossbows aimed at these civilians, and they will shoot them at the slightest movement!
Such a high-pressure chaotic situation.
A man in the form of a spy came from the west side on horseback.
He made his way through the crowd and into the old royal city.
When I got here, it was quiet.
The huge square is full of bamboo poles that have been erected.
It was covered with a white cloth.
Only a wide avenue leading to the main hall in the middle remains.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed clearly, but the spies always felt a little flustered.
However, he soon crossed the square and came to the front of the temple.
Leave the horse where it was, and run to the main hall alone.
"Return to the county guard!"
The words are not finished yet.
A cold voice came from the hall.
"Huh?"
The spies hurriedly changed their tune.
"Returning to the Yue King!"
"The Huaiyang army has all entered the city, and now it is attacking east!"
The cold voice paused for a moment.
"Sure enough, it's a bunch of rubbish!"
"Zhikun, you go and take people to go, and you have to keep watch until dawn!"
"Yes! Young Patriarch! ”
The voice fell, and the doors of the temple opened.
Hundreds of men dressed in coarse cloth and with thin black bodies rushed out.
Seeing this, the spies also stood up, ready to turn around and leave with them.
But he didn't want to, the last person on the other party waved, and a bright light flashed.
The spies' eyes widened, and their heads separated.
Before he died, he saw the man look at him as if he were looking at a dying animal.
