Chapter Eighty-Six: Equipment Update
The changes in the war between Tang and Chu were very huge, in just ten days, the Chu army captured Yucheng and Wucheng, and the 300,000 army was less than 100 miles away from Cangxian.
The speed of the Chu army's attack and the Tang army's defeat speed were both unexpected by everyone.
This also led to the direct death of Qin Yu's plan, after all, Cangxian County was already close to the front line of the battlefield, who would dare to come here.
The entire Cangxian County also lost its previous vitality at this time, and everyone was worried that the Chu army would come here at any time.
And Qin Yu, as the county lieutenant, didn't have the heart to continue to be lazy.
Qin Yu personally came to the forbidden industrial zone in Cangxian County, where Qin Yu established the first iron-smelting workshop in Cangxian.
After Cangxian stabilized, Qin Yu took out a large number of arrows from the system, took down the stainless steel arrows, re-smelted them, and forged them into other weapons.
"Your Excellency, you're here." After the old Zhang Tou, who was in charge of the workshop, learned of Qin Yu's arrival, he hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Thanks, I've come here to see how the equipment is doing?" Qin Yu stretched out his hand to help the saluting old man's head.
"Your Excellency, please come with me." Lao Zhangtou immediately led the way for Qin Yu and walked in the direction of the warehouse.
Lao Zhangtou opened the lock and opened the door of the warehouse, and what caught his eye was a pair of armor of uniform specifications, as well as all kinds of weapons.
When Qin Yu saw these armors and weapons, he immediately felt a lot more relieved.
Lao Zhangtou said on the side: "My lord, because those arrows are difficult to smelt, our speed is a little slow. ”
"At the moment there are only a thousand pieces of armor, eight hundred spears, six hundred swords, a thousand scimitars, and one thousand two hundred stirrups, as you mentioned."
Listening to Lao Zhangtou's introduction, Qin Yu walked into the warehouse and picked up the armor to check.
The weight of this armor is lighter than the general armor of the Tang Army, after all, under the same specifications, copper is much heavier.
Qin Yu put on his armor, took his blade, and strode out of the warehouse.
There is a place to test swords right outside the warehouse.
"Whew!"
The spear was sent forward in Qin Yu's hand, "Bang! With a bang, the wooden stake was suddenly pierced, and Qin Yu shook the spear violently again.
"Boom!"
The stake exploded and shattered into slag.
The moment Qin Yu inserted the spear into the ground, he pulled out a sword, only to see the sword flash, and the waist-thick wooden stake was directly split into two.
Qin Yu then took out the scimitar and slashed at the stake again, although the stake was directly disconnected, the blade had also penetrated more than half, and then came out from the side of the stake, which could be said to be very silky.
If it is cut on a person's body this time, even if he is wearing copper armor, he can be disemboweled.
"Good!" Qin Yu looked at a few weapons with satisfaction, with these weapons, Qin Yu could at least form a powerful infantry.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It's a pity that he only has a dozen war horses in his hands, if there are thousands or hundreds, then he can form a thousand iron horses.
"My lord, I heard that the Chu army is very close to us, I wonder if it's true?" Lao Zhangtou asked cautiously.
"Well, less than a hundred miles away, it is possible that early tomorrow morning, the Chu army will come to the city." Qin Yu didn't choose to hide it, because this kind of thing couldn't be hidden at all.
Lao Zhangtou arched his hand and said: "My lord, when to recruit troops to resist the enemy, we can all put on armor and go into battle!" ”
Qin Yu looked at Lao Zhangtou and reached out to pat Lao Zhangtou's shoulder.
"I don't want you to go to the battlefield, what you have to do is to forge armor and weapons with all your might."
"As for going into battle to kill the enemy, leave it to those of us who have nothing to do on weekdays."
After hearing this, Lao Zhangtou's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of disappointment, but he still arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, we will go all out and cast the armor and weapons!" ”
Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked someone to move all the armor and weapons out of the warehouse.
Now that the enemy is present, these armor weapons are not needed at this time, let alone when.
······
In the county governor's mansion, everyone was anxiously waiting for Qin Yu, and even Zhao Xingzhi came.
The situation changed so fast that Zhao Xingzhi didn't react for a while, and now that the Chu army was approaching, Zhao Xingzhi also felt worried.
Zhao Xingzhi had already sent a message asking for help to the county guards Du Tao and Wei Chixiong, but it was obvious that it would take some time to get a reply.
In front of him, he can only see whether Qin Yu can hold on, or whether he is willing to hold on.
It's just that everyone waited for a long time, and they didn't see Qin Yu, so they couldn't help but be a little flustered.
Zhao Xingzhi looked at Xiao He and asked, "County Lieutenant Qin?" ”
Xiao He sat there looking at the book, and after suddenly hearing Zhao Xingzhi's question, he replied, "I don't know, but the lord told us to wait in the county governor's mansion." ”
Zhao Xingzhi sighed helplessly, this answer was equivalent to no answer.
Zhao Xingzhi can also leave, after all, Qin Yu didn't tell him to wait, just left like this, Zhao Xingzhi felt uneasy, after all, it was time for life and death.
"Lord Zhao, don't be impatient, your lord has already made arrangements, I just need to wait carefully." Qin Yuan bowed to Zhao Xingzhi.
Gongsun Qi sat there expressionlessly, as if as long as he didn't have Qin Yu's order, he could wait forever.
At this moment, Lao Huang ran in.
"Your Excellency has an order! Meet at the barracks and school grounds! ”
Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuanteng stood up suddenly, turned around and ran out of the hall.
Xiao He also jumped out of the chair and ran out.
Zhao Xingzhi also wanted to follow and take a look, but was stopped by Lao Huang.
"Lord Zhao, the murderous aura of the school is too heavy, you better go back first. My family said that I would come to the door and discuss it with the adults later. ”
Zhao Xingzhi's face sank, this is a deliberate attempt to support himself! Could it be that Qin Yu, this guy has something unsightly?
But Zhao Xingzhi is helpless about this, now Cangxian only knows Qin Yu, but not Zhao Xingzhi, and Zhao Xingzhi can only swallow this breath.
"In that case, the official will leave first." Zhao Xingyi flicked his sleeves and walked out with a gloomy face.
Lao Huang smiled and personally sent Zhao Xingzhi out.
On the other side, Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan had already run to the barracks.
The officers and soldiers of the whole army have been gathered by Qin Yu, and they are standing firmly on the school field one by one.
In front of the officers and men of the whole army, there were several carriages covered with cloth, and experienced people could see that they were all ordnance.
After Qin Yu saw Gongsun Qi and Qin Yuan arrive, he instructed the two, "Lift the cloth." ”
"No!"
The two men were ordered to step forward, and one carriage by another lifted the cloth covering it.
I saw pieces of armor and weapons, under the sunlight, refracting dazzling light.
When the soldiers saw these armor and weapons, they were so hungry that they drooped.
But the officers and men of the whole army still remained quiet, and no one dared to say a word at this time, which is enough to show that Qin Yu's training in military discipline is still effective.
When Qin Yuan lifted these cloths, he was also very shocked.
After dealing with weapons for so many years, you can see at a glance how powerful these weapons are.
I'm afraid that the weapons forged by those famous masters may not be so good.
And, there are so many more here at once! It's simply amazing!
