Ying Xuan got off the carriage and followed several people into the room.
Looking down, the man was standing by the stove with his upper body naked, and even if he heard the sound of people coming in, he didn't pay any attention to it.
Forged iron tools were scattered around him.
There are swords, knives, and even arrow clusters.
Zhaohan explained at this time.
"This is a weirdo. He is obviously a free man but wants nothing. He helps the Jing family to forge iron tools for no reason. He is extremely obsessed with the forging of iron tools and thinks that iron tools are far more powerful than bronze tools."
Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows, who doesn't know that iron is stronger than copper? What a weirdo!
Now Da Qin has already begun to promote iron tools!
The first thing to be promoted is iron farm tools, but the higher value needs to be registered with the government!
Seemingly sensing Ying Xuan's doubts, Zhao Han continued to explain.
"I heard from Jing's family that his forging skills are very superb, but he always wants to change the method of forging."
"And this person is extremely stubborn and thinks that iron tools can easily destroy bronze ones."
"He also boasted that he had forged an iron knife that could split a copper tripod! But within an hour, the knife broke on its own!"
Ying Xuan blinked as if he understood something.
In history, the level of bronze forging in the Qin Dynasty has reached its peak.
Even the iron tools that have been developed for a long time are only slightly stronger than the bronze ones.
Moreover, forging iron blocks is far more time-consuming, laborious and expensive than bronze.
Therefore, Da Qin has not completely replaced bronze weapons with iron.
It was only after the Hundred Refining Era that iron tools truly and completely crushed bronze tools.
But according to what Zhao Han said, this person is not studying the Baili Steel Knife, right?
Ying Xuan's eyes lit up slightly.
But when one thinks that the army cannot wait long, the people controlled by the rebels are also in urgent need of rescue.
Or let people immediately look for arrow clusters and arrows.
After searching for a while, everyone only found some scattered arrow clusters.
Ying Xuan frowned, this would have no effect at all.
Zhaohan was also anxious. Logically speaking, Jing would not have time to move.
I wanted to pull the man to ask, but the man ignored me at all.
Ying Xuan only thought that his trip was in vain.
Turn around and prepare to take people away! Before leaving, he saw the iron at his feet and said.
"There are too many impurities! We need to find a way to increase the temperature of the furnace and increase the number of forgings!"
After saying that, he walked away.
But the man behind him was slightly startled after hearing his voice.
I didn’t expect to meet a knowledgeable person here!
He turned around to look at Ying Xuan and the others, and then realized that the people following him were not the soldiers from Shouchun City.
It was a group of soldiers they had never seen before. Thinking of how quickly Jing had evacuated just now, he suddenly understood something.
He hurriedly chased after him.
"Do you need weapons and arrows?"
Ying Xuan, who was already preparing to leave, looked back at him.
"Do you know where it is?"
The man said nothing and turned around to walk to a room that had been searched just now.
Then he lifted up the wooden floor and took out baskets of crossbow arrows!
Ying Xuan was overjoyed.
He hurriedly commanded to pull back the carriage.
As the boards were lifted up, stacks of crossbow arrows were lifted out.
There are thousands of them, and now the hundreds of people in the crossbow phalanx can shoot to their heart's content!
Ying Xuan also looked happy and even helped carry it himself.
After a while, several carriages were filled, and everyone lifted the roofs and continued to bundle them up, wanting to take them all away.
The man looked a little confused when he saw Ying Xuan's extraordinary aura.
"Looking at your high status, why do you know about forged iron?"
Ying Xuan was also happy, seeing only a few large carriages of crossbow arrows.
I said it subconsciously.
"Not only smelting iron, but I also remember how to forge refined steel!"
The man was stunned, wondering what the refined steel was?
But judging from what Ying Xuan meant, he seemed to be very powerful.
This aroused the man's interest. Is it possible that there is someone in the world who can forge iron better than him?
he continued to ask.
"Is it possible that refined steel that has been refined over time is stronger than iron?"
When Ying Xuan saw that the carriage was loaded, he was anxious to go back.
"Hundred-refined steel is the strongest state that iron tools can achieve in this era! It's the kind that can split a low-quality copper tripod with one knife!"
After Ying Xuan finished speaking, he patted the strong man on the shoulder.
"You still have a long way to go! You have to work hard!"
After saying that, he led everyone and galloped away.
On the spot, the man was stunned for a long time before he realized. Isn't this the method of making iron that he is looking for?
He suddenly woke up and hurried back to the room, grabbed two pieces of clothing and chased in the direction where Ying Xuan left.
Ying Xuan was in a much better mood at the moment. The journey from entering Jiujiang seemed to go smoothly, but it was always full of dangers.
This is the first time that the goal has been achieved so simply.
With this batch of crossbow arrows, the combat effectiveness of the Huaiyang Army can almost be improved to a higher level.
How do you say that.
"If you are poor, you can use tactics to intersperse it; if you are rich, you can use firepower to cover it!"
Ever since he saw the shock caused by Qin Nu's covering attack in Xianyang, Ying Xuan deeply realized the equal importance of this sentence in ancient times.
When I have my own army in the future...
Shaking his head, Ying Xuan interrupted his thoughts and decided to solve the problem in front of him first.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
Everyone turned around and saw that the man just now was holding a bag in one hand and a heavy hammer in the other hand, chasing after them desperately.
Fortunately, the carriage was too heavy and the speed was very slow.
After catching up, the man looked into Ying Xuan's eyes and said.
"My name is Lu Hui! I can help you make iron tools!"
Ying Xuan was slightly startled, hesitated and shook his head.
"I'm going to fight now! If you're curious about how to refine steel, you can wait until I get back!"
Unexpectedly, the man did not give up and continued to follow.
"No delay, I'm going to beat you! I'll be waiting nearby!"
Ying Xuan's eyes suddenly widened.
Is this good guy such a character?
…
Shouchun City, Dongcheng.
Groups of soldiers continued to shrink eastward.
Houses on both sides of the road were piled with weeds and ready to be set on fire.
The old palace that originally stood in the far east became their last stronghold.
On the tic-tac-shaped streets, civilian men were constantly pushed forward and forced to take up arms.
Those who lacked weapons even used hoes and sickles.
Instead, the well-equipped soldiers stood behind them and retreated to the front of the old royal city.
They were well-equipped and there were many of them. They raised their bows and crossbows high at the civilians and would shoot them if they made the slightest move!
In such a high-pressure and chaotic situation.
A man who looked like a spy was riding from the west.
He passed through these crowds and successfully entered the old royal city.
Once here, the surroundings became quiet.
The huge square is dotted with bamboo poles erected everywhere.
A white cloth was draped over it to block the surrounding area.
Only a wide avenue in the middle leading directly to the main hall was left.
The sound of horse hooves echoed clearly, but the spy always felt a little flustered.
However, he quickly crossed the square and came to the front of the temple.
Leaving the horse where it was, he ran towards the main hall alone.
"Report to Governor Zhi!"
The words are not finished yet.
A cold voice came from the hall.
"Um?"
The spy quickly changed his story.
"Report to the King of Yue!"
"The Huaiyang army has all entered the city and is now attacking eastward!"
The cold voice paused for a while.
"They are indeed a bunch of trash!"
"Zhikun, go and take the people there and keep watch until dawn!"
"Yes! Young patriarch!"
The voice fell and the palace door opened.
Hundreds of thin, dark men wearing coarse cloths filed out.
The spy also stood up when he saw this scene and was about to turn around and leave with them.
But unexpectedly, the last person on the other side waved, and a bright light flashed by.
The spy's eyes widened and his head separated.
Before he died, he saw the man looking at him as if he were looking at a dying animal.
