Chapter 145: Building a Javelin

As soon as he entered the forging room, a scorching aura suddenly surged, which immediately made Ma Chao take two steps back. Ma Chao estimated that the temperature in this forging room at this time was at least forty degrees Celsius!

Moreover, this is still the outermost doorway, and the forges inside will be at least more than 60 degrees!

This kind of temperature is not something that people can stand at all!

Ma Chao immediately felt the Han on his body flow down like flowing water, and walked into the forging room with a frown.

At this moment, dozens of bare-chested blacksmiths were hammering desperately, the sound of clanging resounded in the sky, and the red fire almost melted the whole world, and the heat was suffocating. Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads with their hands, their expressions painful.

At this time, Ma Chao, who was walking in front of the two, had already adapted to it, as if the raging fire could not scorch his frozen body in the snow peak.

"Nourishing ......"

A sturdy blacksmith dipped a well-beaten spearhead into the bucket, and in an instant there was curling green smoke, green smoke smoking the blacksmith's strong body, and bean-sized sweat dripped down his bronzed skin, gathering into a criss-crossing stream of sweat on his back.

Seeing Ma Chao appear accompanied by Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan, the blacksmith bent down respectfully and said, "The villain has seen the young master. ”

"Hmm......" Ma Chao nodded and asked, "How many have you played?" ”

What Ma Chao asked was naturally the spearhead of the javelin.

The blacksmith was a little nervous, not knowing whether to continue with his work or answer Ma Chao's question. Ma Chao smiled and said lightly: "Let's stop for a while, it's not at this moment." ”

Seeing that Ma Chao was so approachable, the man was obviously much more relaxed, and after wiping a handful of sweat, he replied: "More than 10,000 have been built, but the remaining iron is no longer enough." ”

Ma Chao's eyes lit up and asked, "Is it made?" ”

Pu Yuan understood what Ma Chao meant, and immediately replied: "Now that the arsenal has enough personnel, after the attack, it has been connected to the barrel of the gun." ”

Ma Chao said: "Let's go, go and see." ”

But as soon as he took a step, Ma Chao stopped, turned back to Pu Yuan and said, "Stop, this heat is not something that people can bear at all." ”

"The young master is merciful, not only to give the craftsmen of the arsenal anti-summer medicine and mung bean soup, but also to take care of a certain ...... It is really the kindness of the young master that it is difficult to repay the young master. ”

"Well, the young master forgives his subordinates, and his subordinates are inexplicably grateful. Don't hide it from the young master, in the past few days, many blacksmiths have fainted from fever. Zheng Hun continued, hesitating: "However, there are more than 25,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the young master, even if there is no war in the short term, it can be used for training, and each person needs at least three javelins." Now these 10,000 are not enough at all. ”

"Then rest by day and work by night." Ma Chao suddenly remembered something in his mind, but he couldn't remember it in a hurry, so he had to say: "If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is a method of making ice in summer, which can allow craftsmen to rest better during the day." ”

Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan glanced at each other, dumbfounded, as if they thought Ma Chao was joking. But seeing Ma Chao's serious appearance, the two didn't dare to say much. However, what I thought in my heart was: I really met a good master who is sympathetic to his subordinates! This is all over the Han and Kyushu, which master is so good to the slaves?

But the two didn't know that Ma Chao's abacus was very good: Jia Fox said that if he won people's hearts, these people would marry wives and have children in the future. And these people celebrate their merits every day, and their wives and children will naturally spread it out. In this way, doesn't this person have a heart? What's more, let you rest well, but for better work. Ma Chao wouldn't be stupid enough to do it.

As for saying that Ma Chao is benevolent, hum, these craftsmen have not gone out, if they go out to help the wind and see the fate of those famous families, you will know whether Ma Chao is merciful or not: those who dare to declare to the county the recultivation of the wasteland on the edge of the realm are better, that is, they were educated by the officials of the county, saying that those wasteland have already been confiscated, don't commit crimes against the wind. And those big farmers who directly cultivate without notification will end up miserable. was directly arrested by the ugly brother Huang Yuan on charges of rebellion and collusion with foreigners. What's more serious, when it was found that a big family was implicated with Dong Zhuo, his house was directly raided.

The rest of the big families never dared to blow up the thorns again. And the titles of 'horse butcher', 'horse barbarian', and 'horse shaft' have long been passed down among those rich families.

Ma Chao's benevolence is also the ...... of the object

Pu Yuan led the way, and Ma Chao followed, and when he came to the warehouse behind the forge house, he saw a large pile of iron spears piled up like a hill.

Picking up a spear tip, Ma Chao checked it, weighing about two catties, the triangular spear blade exudes a sharp light, the sharpened spear blade, coupled with the wooden gun shaft, is a perfect killing weapon.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

Xiliang Tieqi has long been a division of tigers and wolves, but Ma Chao feels that this tiger wolf still lacks fangs and claws, and only a tiger wolf with sharp teeth and claws is a truly formidable tiger wolf! in order to make the beasts surrender!

Equipped with bilateral horses, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can fully exert its maximum strength to throw javelins on horseback, and among them, there are those Qianghu soldiers, but they can also fight on horseback, such a tiger and wolf division out, how will it shock the nightmare of the enemy army?

And now, those Xiliang cavalry who can't ride and shoot no longer have to feel inferior. Although the javelin's throw distance may not be comparable to the range of a bow and arrow, it is powerful and does much more damage than an arrow! Moreover, the javelin does not need to be aimed, it is easy to maintain, and it can be used repeatedly, which is really a rare weapon!

Ma Chao felt that he could also build some flying axes in the future, which were more powerful than javelins and caused more damage! But casting tens of thousands of hand axes requires a lot of iron, and Ma Chao's current financial deficit can't get so much iron, so he can only settle for the next best thing, using javelins, just to solve the problem of the secondary use of these discarded gun barrels.

"Instigation~~"

Ma Chao trotted a few steps and threw the javelin in his hand forward, and the nearly two-meter-long wooden handle shook sharply, making a piercing sound of breaking the air. The blade of the spear that had already opened cut a cold cold in the air, and swept forward like a silver snake.

"Do~~"

After flying dozens of steps like an arrow, the javelin pierced into a wall of earth embryos, and after a muffled sound, the javelin pierced through several feet thick of the wall of earth embryos, and the remaining momentum was inexhaustible, and it was still flying forward dozens of steps before falling to the ground.

Ma Chao walked behind the earthen wall and picked up the javelin that fell to the ground to take a look, and his brows furrowed slightly.

This power is enough, but at the same time, the tip of the spear is also destroyed.

Moreover, what is more serious is that Ma Chao is still trotting, if he throws this javelin with the momentum of the horse...... It was obvious that this javelin would definitely break into three or four pieces!

Pu Yuan and Zheng Hun also discovered this problem, and Zheng Hun obviously had a little more management talent than Pu Yuan, so he immediately instructed his team leader: "Go and inform those blacksmiths to rest for the next few days." After a certain problem is solved, start work. ”

"Slow!" Ma Chao stopped the team leader who was going to go to the herald, and he already had a solution to this problem: "Mix lead in the tip of the spear, and you can solve this problem." ”

Zheng Hun, Pu Yuan and those team leaders had their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but praise in their hearts: The young master is really anxious, and he thought of a way in an instant, he is really a god!

But Ma Chao laughed: nonsense, the javelin tips of those Roman soldiers are mixed with lead to increase the weight, so as to increase the penetration power, and this son is just copying it......
