"This matter, I will naturally explain it to Meng Xianggong. ”

Jiang Li frowned slightly, thinking about the scene that Meng Heng had ordered at the beginning, and responded: "And with General Meng's extraordinary wisdom, he must understand the importance of this place!"

"That's good!" Xiao Feng was relieved.

With the resources of Luzhou City, it is still too difficult to support the entire Red Phoenix Army to fight. Even if it seized the stored grain established by Mongolia in the past year, it could only support the entire army for half a year, and if it could not harvest grain smoothly after half a year, it would be in a difficult situation.

What's more, at present, the entire Red Phoenix Army relies on Heng Shengyu to provide ordnance, if something happens to Heng Shengyu, I am afraid that the ordnance supply will also be cut off.

In the face of this difficult situation at home and abroad, Xiao Feng really understood that the entire Chifeng Army was currently completely walking on a tightrope, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would fall down and fall to pieces, so he couldn't wait to contact the Southern Song Dynasty to see if he could get some assistance from the other party.

"Tell the lord! ”

At this moment, a communication soldier broke straight outside the door.

When he saw Xiao Feng, who was sitting upright, he immediately fell to the ground on one knee and said loudly: "Wang Yunde and Zhao Chen were attacked by the enemy and were trapped in Nancun for a generation. Please also ask the lord to send someone to rescue him quickly. His voice was urgent, and his body was covered with scars, apparently just stepping down from the battlefield.

"What?"

Xiao Feng was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly left as supremacy, walked up to the communication soldier and asked sharply, "Tell me what happened, why did they fall into an ambush?"

"My subordinates don't know, we only know that when we heard a sound of Buddha, and then we were in a daze, and we didn't know where we went, and only when we woke up did we find that we had already entered the enemy's encirclement. Fortunately, General Wang's archery skills are unparalleled, and he and General Zhao formed a stacked formation to keep the other party out, otherwise we would have been completely annihilated. The messenger looked sad, and his words were mixed with sobs.

"Foyin, it seems that the other party really has a master to help!"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng walked around a little impatiently, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious under the sweep of the phoenix's eyes. Suddenly, she raised her hand violently, and immediately took the Qinglong spear in the distance, her face was a little obedient, and her eyes flashed with a sharp man, and said: "It's a pity that I can't leave now, otherwise I will definitely destroy them all." "Stupid, obviously a little impatient.

"In that case, then I'll go to the rescue now?" Jiang Li was also a little surprised when he heard the news, and immediately said.

"Naturally, I want to rescue!" Xiao Feng nodded in response, his eyes were full of consideration, and said: "But I am afraid that the enemy will secretly lay a trap, and its purpose is to divert the tiger from the mountain and trick me out." Take advantage of the opportunity to capture the entire city of Qinzhou. Since she was framed by Li Shouxian, she has been much more careful, afraid that she will be transferred for some reason, and as a result, the entire hated land will suffer indelible losses.

There is no way, the Red Phoenix Army is still too thin.

At present, the only ones who can come in handy are Zhao Chen and Wang Yunde, whose strength can be described as extremely thin. As long as it encounters a blow that exceeds its capacity, the entire Red Phoenix Army will collapse anytime and anywhere, Xiao Feng is sure of this!

"In that case, why don't we let the four of us go?" Jiang Li saw Xiao Feng looking so nervous, and also stepped forward to beg.

Xiao Feng had no choice but to accept it, thought about it and asked people to open the warehouse, took a few rockets and handed them to a few people, and said, "That's good." Then please. However, the road is dangerous, and you still need to be cautious, so as not to fall for each other's tricks. Also, if it's an emergency, remember the rocket launch notification, and if I see it, I'll definitely help. ”

Several of them immediately led the order to retreat, and under the leadership of Yamana, who was familiar with the terrain of this place, they quickly ran towards the place where the two were trapped in the distance.

Xiao Feng stood quietly on the head of Qinzhou City, looking into the distance and looking at the continuous mountains and the scorching sun in the sky, and sighed: "The battle here is far from over, but what about Luzhou City? Xiao Xing, I hope you can be safe and sound, and you must ensure that there will be no problems in the entire base area." ”

........................

In Wangqiao Town, 20 miles south of Xiangyuan County, there is a specially compacted platform in an open space among the mountains, and dozens of people stand next to the platform.

If you take a closer look, you can also see that among these five big and three thick strong men, a beautiful woman is standing right in the center. And she was here at the moment, giving orders, keeping the craftsmen busy with their own affairs.

The platform is about three feet long on the side, and it is more than three meters deep into the ground, all to be able to bear the weight of more than 100 tons. On top of this rammed earth layer, careful craftsmen are laying a thick layer of refractory clay on it, and the bottom layer is basically mixed with hard crushed stones with a foothold and the thickness of a thumb, but when it comes to the top layer, it is not mixed with a single inch of broken stone, it is all paved with refractory clay layers.

Just getting this platform right consumed more than a month of their time.

On the top of the platform, there is an oval straight building about two feet high, and below it is like those closets, with a special passage for filling coal and charcoal, and at the other end there is a special opening for pouring out the contents of the contents. If anyone who knows how to do it here, they will understand that the thing in front of you is a blast furnace specially used to make steel.

At the same time, in order to avoid air leakage, the pottery pipe was wrapped with a layer of grass and mud to prevent air leakage, and the air bag was also quite large, but several air bags were connected together to ensure that enough air could be supplied at the same time.

When everything was ready, Xiao Xing said, "Open the furnace!"

After taking over the internal affairs of Luzhou City, she began to plan and prepare to build a blast furnace to smelt steel, and after coming into contact with the blacksmiths in Yincheng Town, she recruited dozens of blacksmiths from there either at a high price, or with family affection, or by threats, and began to build the blast furnace non-stop.

Now that they have been busy for more than a month, they have finally reached the stage of starting the test, as long as they can really smelt steel, then they can completely achieve steel self-sufficiency, and they don't need to continue to import iron weapons from Heng Shengyu.

In the furnace, a piece of charcoal is ignited, the red flame continues to **** the furnace wall, and the fairly uniform iron ore that is ground next to it is poured into it from the top inlet, and then evenly scattered in the blast furnace, which is burned red in the strong flame, and finally melted and even condensed together, turning into red iron juice.

The iron juice gradually became thicker and thicker, and finally flowed slowly down the discharge port, and then was caught by the iron fan that had been prepared for a long time, and condensed into the corresponding shape, because it had not been completely cooled, so it appeared extremely red, and the outer surface was also covered with tumors, and occasionally a flame came out from above.

Looking at the iron that finally took shape, everyone shouted in unison: "We have finally succeeded!" (To be continued.) )
