How can you make yourself strong on the battlefield?

Hard training can be counted as a method.

The wisdom of the master can also be regarded as a skill.

Moreover, the elite of equipment is an important part of it!

Li Shimin thinks that his soldiers are good, and his own command can also be good!

So for the equipment of his subordinates, he also hopes to be the best!

Will he be a prisoner? The things that came out there were good at the beginning, but since Xiao Han was born, Xiao Lizi immediately felt that the people who would be the prisoners could dig a pit and bury themselves!

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away!

Xiao Han, what he is doing now is the role of being responsible for equipping Xiao Lizi.

Walking with Lao Zhao to the depths of the workshop, they walked through several gates in a row, and finally the two of them walked into a big house guarded by two veterans.

This is the heart of the entire blacksmith workshop.

"Master Hou? You're here! ”

Hearing footsteps approaching, the two sleepy veterans opened their eyes in an instant, and their eyes that should have been dizzy seemed to have a fine light shining through! But when he saw that the people who came were Xiao Han and Lao Zhao, the essence of the light immediately converged again.

"Well, if you have nothing to do, come and have a look!" Xiao Han nodded to the two veterans from afar. These veterans were all his first batch of teams, and they were also the people who firmly tied their lives to him.

"Please!" Hearing Xiao Han's answer, the two veterans arched their hands, didn't talk nonsense, turned around and opened the door, and invited Xiao Han in.

The heavy door opened, revealing a room that was larger than all the workshops, with cement beams and pillars supporting the high roof, which looked indistinguishable from the old factories of later generations.

Unlike the place I just walked through, this place is more spacious, but there are not many people, only a few familiar faces are busy inside.

And when the people here saw Xiao Han coming in, they just arched their hands, and they were busy with their own work.

Xiao Han has long been surprised by this, the people who can be in this are all a small group of people who belong to the core of the family, so they really don't need to be too polite.

The huge room is a little empty, except for all kinds of iron materials and sundries, there is only one blast furnace erected high, and the four bellows driven by the waterwheel outside blow the flames under the blast furnace a little white! The temperature of just one blast furnace in the house is worth the temperature of so many iron stoves outside!

The blast furnace here is no longer used for coal, but for real coke!

This was when Lao Zhao threw away the secret recipe, Xiao Han intentionally tried to make coke to replace coal.

After all, it has been proved in later generations that coke is the most correct fuel for metallurgy!

But at all times, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!

In Xiao Han's mind, he only remembered that coke was the product of bituminous coal formed under high temperature and lack of oxygen. But for the specific production process, it is not clear at all!

Everyone thinks that Xiao Han knows a lot, but only he knows it: what he knows is just some superficial things!

As for more specific? Asking him is similar to asking a small trace, anyway, he shakes his head and doesn't know......

Telling Lao Zhao everything he knew, Xiao Han once again became the shopkeeper.

Completely ignoring the fact that in order to get the right coke, the elderly Zhao was as busy as a donkey, I don't know how much scheming was wasted, how much hair was lost, and how much coal was burned!

It's strange to say, the saying that the emperor lives up to his heart can always be verified in people other than Xiao Han!

Just when Lao Zhao couldn't get coke even after trying all kinds of methods, he was almost emaciated and vomited three liters of blood!

In the kiln where the bricks were burned outside, due to the negligence of the loading and unloading personnel, some coal and stone were accidentally mixed in. As a result, when the furnace was opened, all the shiny coal stone turned gray-white.

Lao Zhao, who came to hear the news, studied for a long time, and finally tentatively took these things and burned them.

Only then did I find that the heat generated by these inconspicuous things in front of me was even higher, and the steel smelted by it had fewer impurities and a better texture!

I am sure that this is the coke that Xiao Han said! Lao Zhao, who hasn't slept well for a long time, just hugged a few pieces of charcoal that didn't burn and cried like a doll in confinement!

"Master Hou, look, when this furnace of molten steel comes out, it can pour thousands of arrows! At the end of the day, I dare not say anything else, tens of thousands of arrows can still be made! In front of the blast furnace, Lao Zhao triumphantly pointed to the rows of molds in front of him and explained to Xiao Han.

Compared to others, arrows are the best to make!

Because it doesn't need to be like swords and armor, it needs to be tempered repeatedly.

This thing only needs to be boiled molten steel, poured into the mold, waited until it cooled to remove the excess, and finally sharpened the edge!

Lao Zhao proudly explained to Xiao Han, but the position where Xiao Han stood was far away from the blast furnace, looking like that, he couldn't wait to stand outside the house!

There is no way, for Xiao Han, but any place where steel is made is a dangerous place in the future generations, let alone the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago!

Therefore, Xiao Han, who has always believed that gentlemen do not stand under the dangerous wall, will not get close to this thing if he is killed.

"Come here! Get so close, wait for the end to fall into the furnace, and save the money for the earth! Seeing that Lao Zhao still wanted to go to see the molten steel in the blast furnace, Xiao Han, who was standing far away, scolded him angrily!

Everyone knows that molten steel will splash when it meets air, but if a drop sticks to it, it is enough for Lao Zhao to drink a pot.

"Hehe, I'll just take a look at ......"

When Lao Zhao heard this, he laughed wryly, and when he saw that Xiao Han was about to scold again, he hurriedly grabbed an arrow from the frame on the side and trotted over.

"Oh, Master Hou, look, we can make this thing now! The group of fools who will be the prisoners, the arrows cast will shatter if they are forced, and the fart is useless! Now the generals of Chang'an are begging us, and they don't even look at the generals! ”

Handing the arrow to Xiao Han, Lao Zhao couldn't close his mouth with a smile! For him, the sight of the prisoner's bad luck was enough to fill his heart with joy!

Of course, Xiao Han knew why Lao Zhao was like this, and seeing his unhappy appearance, it was not easy to hit him, so he reached out and took the arrow in Lao Zhao's hand and examined it carefully.

The arrows in Lao Zhao's hands were all freshly cast, and there was a warm breath on them.

The unpolished surface is a little rough, and there is no luster at all, but through its triangular shape, you can still feel the restrained edge.

These arrows were all designed by Xiao Han himself!

In his opinion, the original triangular primitive arrow not only has poor penetration, but also has an unstable center of gravity when flying!

So after some research, Xiao Han made a batch of triangular armor-piercing arrows according to the appearance of a triangular pyramid, and under the experiment, he found that it was indeed much better than the triangular arrow! Not only is it more stable and penetrating, but it can also be mixed with crossbows!
