Now the ordnance battalion has become a scale under the supervision of Meng Feihang.

There are more than 1,000 craftsmen recorded in the armoury camp, including blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, lacquer craftsmen, and many other craftsmen.

Most of these craftsmen are from all over the world, and they don't know where Meng Feihang and Xuan Qi found these many people.

Today, the ordnance battalion has a scale and a unified system, in which it is divided into three parts, namely the iron area, the stone area, and the wood area.

The Wood Zone is undoubtedly undergoing the development of some bizarre warfare equipment, including storming carts, arrow towers, trebuchets, more advanced ladder vehicles, crossbow machines, and ballista carts that can deal considerable damage to enemies.

At the time when Meng Feihang lived, science and technology had been ahead of this era for dozens of centuries, and he knew very well that future wars would rely on science and technology to crush the other side.

These are all designed and made by him according to his previous memories.

The things produced in the Stone Tool District, if Chu Yujia were to see it, would just say: "Your name has a fart relationship with this ghost place?"

True, this place really has nothing to do with what is produced, because the things that are being made in it are all related to **.

In the last Qi Ye War, Meng Feihang gave Chu Yujia a surprise, the so-called ** wine jar that will blow up demon fire can really be said to be a blockbuster if it is not a hit.

As a science and engineering man, Meng Feihang is quite familiar with physics and chemistry, and it is not difficult for him to make **.

For him, the real difficulty is how to use it.

You can't always use a wine jar to fry people, right?

But some things, the current craftsmanship is simply not up to scratch, and now he can only do this, and when the craftsmanship is proficient, he will naturally come up with some other tricks.

The reason why there were so many mountain bandits gathered in the poplar forest at the beginning, and the remote location here will not be easily surrounded by the official army is just one of them, and there is also a very important point, that is, the iron mine was found here.

Iron is the most important thing in this era.

Iron is also needed to build houses, and iron is needed to make kitchen utensils, farm tools, etc.

It can be said that iron was an indispensable thing for people in that era.

Especially for an army, iron is even more important, the knife in the soldier's hand, the horse's paw under the soldier's crotch, all need to be made of iron.

Entering the iron area, the first thing that came was the heat wave, and now it was early winter, and the weather outside had cooled down, but it was as hot as midsummer.

Craftsmen wearing only aprons are busy, some hammering ironware, others carrying things.

Meng Feihang casually picked up a battle knife that had been built from the forging table.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Before he could observe, he heard someone next to him speak: "I said you kid, what are you doing with my knife, can you afford to pay for it, why don't you put it down quickly?"

Hearing this, Meng Feihang looked back and saw Xuan Qi coming out of nowhere.

Meng Feihang smiled and said, "This is not your knife, it's our knife." ”

That's not true. ”

Xuan Qi pursed his lips and said: "I admit that this knife does have your credit, but the biggest credit is still with me, if it weren't for me, with your original smelting technology, you wouldn't have been able to refine such a good iron at all." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right. ”

Meng Feihang smashed his mouth, looked at the knife in his hand and said, "But this knife doesn't seem to be the same as what I told you." ”

"Of course it's different. ”

Xuan Qi said proudly: "Which concept did you start with to make this kind of knife straight, with no arc at all, but then I thought about it, although the straight knife can cause the most damage to the enemy in slashing and stabbing, you seem to have forgotten one thing." ”

Meng Feihang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You have forgotten that our Northwest Army, cavalry is the most important thing. ”

Xuan Qi explained: "The straight knife is naturally very useful when the two armies are in a stalemate, after all, it can split and stab, but if the cavalry is allowed to use this kind of knife, it will not be able to make the cavalry show the maximum power, so I adjusted it slightly, so that the blade becomes narrower and adds a slight arc, so that when the war horse sprints, the cavalry's combat power can explode to the limit." ”

"Hmmm......"

Meng Feihang thought for a while, and also felt that what Xuan Qi said made sense, nodded and said: "You are right, it is true that in the duel of the light cavalry, the scimitar is more useful than the straight knife. ”

"That's natural. ”

Xuan Qi pursed his lips, walked to Meng Feihang's side, and suddenly turned into a flattering face, and said, "By the way, Brother Meng, you happened to be here today, and I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Huh?"

Meng Feihang raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing, Xuan Qi, this kid doesn't look stupid on weekdays, but he also has his own little pride, and he rarely asks for advice, what's wrong today?

Seeing Meng Feihang's appearance, Xuan Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be complacent, I really don't understand, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ask you." ”

Subsequently, Xuan Qi took Meng Feihang to a weapon exhibition rack.

The weapons on these display shelves are all weapons that should not appear in this era, and there are all kinds of styles, even Chu Yujia, who came here to visit before, was shocked.

Rao is his experience, and he has never seen these weapons, they are simply varied.

Xuan Qi picked up a long knife from the weapon rack, the length of this long knife was more than two meters three, the blade was one meter long, the handle was one meter long, there was no blood groove on it, and the weight was at least thirty catties.

This knife, even Xuan Qi had some difficulty holding it, so he was puzzled because of this, and asked: "What are you asking me to do with these things, this knife is not something that ordinary people can hold at all." ”

"Hehe, that's if you don't understand. ”

Meng Feihang smiled slightly, and said with a yearning expression: "The name of this knife is Mo Dao, there used to be a class of troops in my world called Mo Dao Soldiers, wearing heavy armor and holding Mo Dao Soldiers, advancing like a wall, the enemy should be broken, once the emperor, with this type of soldier swept the world." ”

Meng Feihang also grabbed a long knife from the table and said, "This knife weighs more than thirty catties, let alone a person, even a stone has to be split in two." ”

"I said you're all right, kid?"

Xuan Qi slammed the knife on the ground and said: "This knife is so heavy, if you put on heavy armor, ordinary soldiers can't wield it, you let me make a knife that others can't use, I suspect that your kid is playing with me." ”

"Why am I playing with you?"

"It is precisely because of the extraordinariness of this knife that when the time comes, it is necessary to let the surnamed Chu select a strong warrior from the army alone to be the Mo sword soldier in this army. ”

Meng Feihang smiled lightly and said: "The art of war is cloudy, it is not expensive and expensive, now my Shuiyun County has more than 50,000 soldiers, if there are more, it will inevitably cause the royal court to feel guilty, so if our army wants to develop, we must strive for excellence." ”
