I’m The King Chapter 331: : Blade

Liu Tiejiang is the most famous master in Juliguan. The weapons made by him are tough and sharp, and no one can compare with them. Now he, except occasionally personally wielding the sword for the generals of the Fufeng Army Apart from making weapons, I no longer go to the front line in person. Most of the time every day is spent patrolling the various workshops and supervising the production of each link in the workshop. In the Juliguan workshop, hundreds of blacksmiths are now his subordinates. For such a life, he is very comfortable. You know, just two years ago, he was still a slave to the Donghu people. Although he has a good skill in blacksmithing, it is nothing more than being able to gnaw a few more bones than other slaves. Ever since he was rescued by the Fufeng Army led by Gao Yuan, his life has become better day by day. With this good skill, he has gradually reached the position of commanding all the blacksmiths here. Cao Tiancheng, the chief executive, Mr. Cao, has to listen to him.

Liu Tiejiang has been promoted from a blacksmith to an official under the General's Mansion of Zhengdong Army, and the change of his status is not his good skill in blacksmithing, but his groping and exploration based on his own experience. He figured out how to remove impurities from ordinary rough iron and refine it into tougher refined iron, which greatly improved the quality of the weapons of the Zhengdong Army.

Like Liu Tiejiang, there is another person who may have gained official status because of his contribution to the weapon upgrade of the Fufeng Army. This person is Mao Jie. This person first reduced the weight of the arm crossbow by one-third, and then Invented the repeating crossbow for use by cavalry.

The traces of the two also made the artisans of Juliguan see another road to the sky, so in Juliguan, the craftsmen with special skills are all racking their brains to think about how to create more powerful weapons for the Fufeng Army. Gao Yuan took advantage of the situation and set up a master craftsman battalion led by Cao Tiancheng. All the recruits in it were skilled master craftsmen, their only job. It is to figure out how to make a sharp weapon that is more suitable for the army. Liu Tiejiang and Mao Jie are both leading figures.

Holding the drawings handed over by the infantry, Blacksmith Liu sighed a lot. As an old man in Juliguan, Blacksmith Liu is very familiar with the infantry. At that time, they were standing in the craftsman's village, and every day they would see infantry riding on horses, coming in and out like the wind, but now, such a brave figure lost a leg.

"General Gao said, I want you to make this thing for me, and I can move freely when I put it on my leg." The infantryman said straightforwardly, "Can you make it?"

As an old craftsman, Liu Tiejiang just glanced at it. I know that this thing is not particularly complicated to make, but it has particularly high requirements for materials, and the elasticity and toughness must be extremely good, but it is only necessary to move freely? He raised his head and glanced at the infantryman, "Infantry general. Please let me be blunt. It's easy to make this thing. There are some special fine iron treasures here, but it may be difficult to move freely. General, you are made of flesh and blood, and after this thing is made, put it on your leg, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot."

"You only need to make it out, and don't worry about other things!" The infantry waved his hand and said disapprovingly. suffering? Is it more painful than when I personally chopped off the bad left calf?

"Yes!" Liu Tiejiang didn't say much, but said to him. To make this thing the best is to give the general with a broken leg the best favor. "General, then I'm going to offend you. Please roll up your trousers, General. I want to measure the size."

When the pants are rolled up. Not only Liu Tiejiang, but even Tie Xuan who accompanied the soldiers couldn't help but take a deep breath, the wound was smooth and neat, which shows how decisive it was for the beginner soldiers to cut down.

"How long can I get the things?" The infantrymen couldn't wait.

"General Bu, there are several master craftsmen in the Divine Craftsman Camp who are good at blacksmithing skills, and they can make finished products in up to three days."

"Three more days? It only takes one day for you to forge a double-edged sword!" The infantry said dissatisfiedly.

"Infantry General, this is different. Your requirements for this item are much higher. His requirements for elasticity and toughness far exceed that of ordinary weapons. We also need to consider how comfortable you are wearing this item, General. !” Blacksmith Liu said.

"Three days is three days!" Tie Xuan on the side took up the conversation, "But the thing must be good, Blacksmith Liu, if this thing is done well, not only the infantry general, but even General Gao will be very happy."

"Little old man must do his best!" Liu Tiejiang hurriedly bent down, he was grateful to Gao Yuan from the bottom of his heart, this is his reborn parents, if it wasn't for Gao Yuan, he would still be a slave to the Donghu people Worry about three meals a day and how to feed the whole family.

During the three days of waiting, Tie Xuan saw how the infantry practiced their riding skills again. It was not a big problem for the infantry who lost one foot to ride slowly, but it was necessary to control the horse with only two feet, so that It is almost impossible to free your hands to complete a series of tactical actions on the horse. Watching the infantry fall from the high-speed horses time and time again, Tie Xuan looked pale, it was a joke with his life. But the infantryman is used to it. He has been fully prepared since he climbed back on the horse's back. Compared with the first heavy fall and being unable to get up for a long time, he is now much more proficient. , at least, he has been able to effectively protect himself from major injuries when he falls immediately.

Infantry can already wield a saber with one hand on a horse and make chopping moves. The infantryman's goal is to completely free his hands. His most powerful skill is archery. Only by completely freeing his hands can he use his sharp arrows to deal with the enemies in front of him on a galloping horse.

Three days later, Blacksmith Liu brought the first finished product. It looks very simple, a three-finger-wide metal plate is attached to a knee-capable sleeve, and an arc is bent at the bottom, and an iron palm similar to a foot is protruding out.

The iron sheath wrapped in soft leather was put on the infantryman's knees, and the belts were wrapped around the infantryman's thighs, fastened and fastened. With great strength, he finally stood up.

"General Bu, how many steps would you take to take a look?" Blacksmith Liu's voice was also trembling. Apart from excitement, he was also tired. The unremarkable thing is the painstaking work of several master craftsmen. The metal plate supporting the weight of the body is made of more than a dozen pieces of fine iron of the same length repeatedly beaten and fused together. The snow pattern densely covered on the surface of the board fully demonstrates its rarity. If this board is used to make knives, it must be cut iron like mud.

Standing steadily, the infantryman first stepped forward with his right foot, paused for a while, then finally raised his iron foot, took a step forward, and when he landed on the ground, his body staggered He staggered, so that Tie Xuan beside him hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but he just swayed slightly, and the infantryman was already standing firmly.

Take another step, another step, the infantry walked out of the house step by step, and walked to the open space outside. A smile appeared on Tie Xuan's face, "Tiejiang Liu, you have made another contribution. After I go back, I will report to the general. You have put your heart into it."

"Thank you, Commander Tie!" Tiejiang Liu said with a smile: "Finally, the mission has been fulfilled, General Bu, who is also one of my saviors. I am very happy to be able to do something for the general."

While speaking, the infantryman had already walked back. Compared with the crooked figure when he went out, he was obviously much more proficient in walking back, "Very good, very good!" He said excitedly.

Blacksmith Liu squatted down, looking at the part where the iron sheath connected to the infantryman's knees, although it was only for a short while, the place had already turned red.

"General, this..."

"It doesn't matter!" The infantry smiled and waved his hands, "After a while, calluses will develop in these places, and it will be fine. Besides, I will spend most of my time on a horse in the future, and the load will not be too heavy. Blacksmith Liu, I still have to ask you to make a few more for me, I don't want one day when he suddenly breaks down and I don't have a spare, it will be a waste of time."

"General, please don't worry, as long as the general stays in Juliguan for a few days, we can make two or three more pairs. It will be easier to make once raw and cooked twice."

"Okay, I'll wait at Juliguan." The infantryman turned to Tie Xuan with a smile, "Brother Tie, you don't have to stay with me here anymore, I'll wait for General Sun and the others at Juliguan, and then Join them together, go back and report to General Gao, it won't take long for him to see the infantry again, and the infantry will always be the best cavalry under his command."

Ten days later, when Sun Xiao and He Lanyan led a thousand infantry ~IndoMTL.com~ and three hundred cavalry appeared in Juliguan, they saw the infantry who dropped their crutches and came out step by step The two of them couldn't believe their eyes.

"General Sun!" The infantry bowed to him, "The infantry is reporting to you."

Sun Xiao got off his horse and walked up to the infantry without saying a word. He just squatted down and stared at the iron palm that fell on the ground. After a while, he stood up and stretched out his arms to hug the infantry, "Brother, Welcome back."

The two embraced tightly and beat each other's backs vigorously.

Release Sun Xiao, the infantry turned to look at He Lanyan, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, you are going to teach me horsemanship again!" Iron-footed apprentice, master, you will definitely have a sense of accomplishment!"

He Lanyan stared at the infantry, "As long as you are not afraid of hardship, I will teach you again." He said it easily, but tears were shining in He Lanyan's eyes.

Hutou and Hengdao, who followed closely behind the two, saw the foot soldier flaunting his iron foot in front of Sun Xiao and He Lanyan, and shook their heads involuntarily, "This guy is not human!"
