The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

This is just a bow and not an arrow. If another batch of arrows is made, the output will be lower for a day, and it will not be possible to make a few decent bows and arrows.

In order to increase production, Liu Zheng had no choice but to learn modern production techniques, and divided the entire iron tire bow production process into several different processes, and then selected some from the more than 3 people under his command who had a little research on iron forging, At the same time, the powerful Qing Zhuang Li joined the process of making iron tire bows.

The people Liu Zheng called over don't need to know the whole production process, Liu Zheng only needs them to be familiar with the link he needs to understand, and that's enough.

And the blacksmith only needs to be responsible for checking the whole process.

Just like in a modern workshop, to make a product, all parts of the product are first made, and then assembled by one person collectively after completion, and the master blacksmith is equivalent to the workshop director.

Responsible for overall management.

In this way, not only the workload of the master blacksmith is greatly reduced, but also the output is increased.Dozens of people worked day and night to make hundreds of iron tire bows in one day.

Although there are hundreds of iron tire bows a day, this number is still far from meeting Liu Zheng's requirements.But just need to give him some more time, it is still barely enough.

But what excites him even more is that in the past few days, the master blacksmith has built a pair of stirrups that he has been waiting for for a long time according to the schematic diagram that Liu Zheng drew for him.

Chapter 58 Compete

After getting the long-awaited stirrup, Liu Zheng immediately installed it on his horse and started to test it.

If you want to see the function of this pair of stirrups, if it really works and can relieve him of great stability on the horse, then it is still necessary to promote this kind of stirrups on all cavalry in the entire army.

Liu Zheng had never ridden a horse in modern times. He only learned how to ride a horse in the Three Kingdoms period, and it was Xu Huang who taught him.

And it hasn't been long since he first learned how to ride a horse. Liu Zheng has never learned how to ride a horse very well. He can only barely maintain his balance on a horse, and it is difficult to fight against the enemy on a horse.

Before being able to use war horses and Sun Jian to fight two moves, it was all luck. A real general, such as Xu Huang, needs a lot of strength in the waist and legs, so that he can only use the strength of the lower body to stabilize his body. One's own figure keeps balance on the horse.

For a novice like Liu Zheng, without the help of stirrups, he needs to train for a long time before he can barely fight on a horse.

Don't look at the stirrup, it's just a small step, but it liberated the general's hands, so that the general can have enough concentration on the horse, and he can display his martial arts at will.

In order to hide the killer feature of the stirrup, Liu Zheng deliberately used a relatively large saddle, and then hid the stirrup in the leather hanging from the saddle.

People can't find the tricks inside at a glance.

He led the horse to the school field, and happened to meet Xu Huang who was training the cavalry here at this time.

He was teaching the cavalrymen of the Yellow Turban Army how to keep their balance on their horses, and immediately pierce the enemy with their spears.

Seeing Liu Zheng approaching at this time, Xu Huang paused for a while to let those people rest for a while.

Liu Zheng was about to find someone to test the effect of the stirrup, and when he saw that Xu Huang was free, he immediately yelled at Xu Huang.

"Brother Xu Huang, are you interested in discussing it? I think I have a new skill on the horse. Maybe I can fight you for a few rounds."

When Liu Zheng yelled at Xu Huang, the cavalry around Xu Huang immediately started booing, wanting to see how exciting the battle between these two chiefs was.

Seeing so many people joking around and joining in the fun, Xu Huang felt embarrassed not to put on a show. Anyway, it was impossible for Liu Zheng and Xu Huang to win in a fight. He was the one who beat Liu Zheng.

After all, the two had fought before, not to mention on horseback, even in peacetime, Xu Huang had to deal with Liu Zheng, that is, he could subdue Liu Zheng in three or two strokes.

"Okay, Shuai Qu, why are you interested in competing with me today?"

As Xu Huang said, he walked towards his war horse, then jumped up briskly, turned on the horse, and the whole movement was smooth and smooth, which was admirable.

After getting on the horse, Xu Huang exchanged for a soldier and brought him a wooden stick, just to learn from each other, no need to use real swords and guns.

When Liu Zheng saw Xu Huang get on the horse, he knew that Xu Huang had agreed, and immediately mounted his own horse, and also brought a two-meter-long wooden stick.

"I have researched some things, and I want to find someone to practice my hands with. Your strength is the strongest here, so I want to challenge you, Brother Xu Huang!"

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he immediately clamped his horse's belly, and the horse struggled, and immediately rushed forward.

The distance between the two was not far away. When Liu Zheng's war horse started to gallop, Xu Huang reacted immediately, holding the wooden stick with both hands. The stick hit it.

"watch out!"

After all, it was a duel, Xu Huang still didn't work so hard, and when he made his move, he even reminded Liu Zheng aloud.

Liu Zheng watched all directions and listened to all directions. He also noticed Xu Huang's action at the moment Xu Huang made a move. Then he raised his hand and lifted the wooden stick in his hand from sideways, trying to block Xu Huang's move horizontally. stick.

when!

The two wooden sticks collided together, making a dull sound, and the solid wood sticks knocked together, which made people feel that the sound was quite pleasant.

After a miss, Liu Zheng's body brushed past Xu Huang's side, and the two rushed out, and within three or five meters, they immediately turned their horses' heads, changed direction, and faced each other again.

At this moment, Xu Huang began to feel a little surprised.

Based on Xu Huang's understanding of Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng's strength should be unstoppable for the blow just now.

Even if he could block it, Liu Zheng would definitely not have it so easily.

So Xu Huang, who frowned, always thought that Liu Zheng's strength had improved.

"Sure, Qu Shuai, you can block such a move. It seems that your strength has improved a lot these days."

After Liu Zheng tried to step on the stirrups with his feet and use the strength of his waist to fight against Xu Huang, he was very happy.

"Hey, it's not enough, continue!"

Liu Zheng still wanted to continue to see how his strength had improved after he had the stirrups, so he rushed towards Xu Huang again.

This time, without waiting for Xu Huang to take any precautions against him, he raised the wooden stick, borrowed his strength to push his body up to fight, and then took advantage of his height to shoot down with a stick from a high place.

When Xu Huang saw Liu Zheng's offensive method, he smiled. This kind of attack method is too rough, without any skills, and it is thankless in the battle.

If you are strong, you can still have some advantages, but on the horse, no matter how strong you are, without the stability of your foot, you can't show your strength.

Therefore, ordinary people would not use this kind of brutal attack, but Xu Huang could easily break Liu Zhengyang's attack.

When Liu Zheng's attack came, Xu Huang just held the wooden stick with one hand, and then grabbed the horse with one hand, wanting to turn sideways, and use the wooden stick in his hand to push Liu Zheng's attack away.

But when Liu Zheng's wooden stick fell, Xu Huang suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The speed at which Liu Zheng's wooden stick fell and the whistling wind it caused were obviously stronger than when he attacked before.

This kind of intensity, only as if Liu Zheng was walking on the ground, not like being on a war horse at all.

Xu Huang was nervous, but he couldn't change his coping method in this short time, so he could only continue to use one hand to avoid Liu Zheng's blow.

Snapped!

Liu Zheng's wooden stick fell on Xu Huang's wooden stick, but the force was so great that Xu Huang couldn't hold it firmly with one hand, and the wooden stick was thrown flying.

Even Xu Huang's arm was shocked by Liu Zheng's blow, and there was a faint pain on it.

The wooden stick flew out and fell to the ground causing a series of noises, and Xu Huang also looked horrified.

Incredible.

"This is handsome, you"

Chapter 59 The God of Wealth

Although Xu Huang underestimated the enemy, all his weapons were blown away by Liu Zheng. It can be said that Liu Zheng won.

If there were no weapons in the war, Liu Zheng's next strike would probably kill Xu Huang.

After blowing Xu Huang's weapon into the air with one blow, Liu Zheng was overjoyed and extremely happy.

"Hahaha, brother Xu Huang, what's the matter, do you think I've become stronger?"

"What's the matter?"

Xu Huang was a little surprised, but he didn't feel ashamed because Liu Zheng defeated him.

On the contrary, the onlookers saw that Liu Zheng had actually defeated Xu Huang, and they immediately burst into loud cheers.

In their view, Xu Huang's strength is a high mountain that no one can surpass, but Liu Zheng was able to defeat Xu Huang in this way in front of them. Although he just knocked Xu Huang's weapon away, it is enough to prove that Liu Zheng's strength is the same. Not bad.

One by one, there was a trace of fanaticism on their faces, and they admired Liu Zheng even more.

Liu Zheng saw the astonished expression on Xu Huang's face, smiled mysteriously, and responded to Xu Huang.

"Haha, brother Xu Huang, now you know how powerful I am, but I can tell you that my strength has not improved much. The reason why I was able to draw with you on the horse is actually thanks to my recent An artifact of research."

"What artifact?"

When Liu Zheng said this, Xu Huang was even more surprised, and immediately asked a question.

"I can't tell you about this thing yet. I'll share it with you after my research is complete. Once it becomes popular, brother Xu Huang will definitely be able to improve his battle horse again with your strength!"

This is not random speculation by Liu Zheng. Based on the battle he had with Xu Huang just now, he can probably imagine that if Xu Huang also had stirrups, and after mastering the use of stirrups proficiently, on the war horse, Xu Huang's riding skills will be greatly improved.

At that time, it will be possible to fight against enemies who are much stronger than him. After all, even a low-level figure like Liu Zheng can draw with Xu Huang. If Xu Huang also has stirrups, maybe he can compete with Lu Bu.

"Okay, okay, since I can't tell me for the time being, then I won't ask any more questions, but Qu Shuai, you have to study it quickly, I'm very curious about your stuff."

Xu Huang didn't ask much, after finishing the battle with Liu Zheng, he started teaching the cavalry again.

And because Liu Zheng himself tried the function of the stirrup, he decided to make another wave of modifications on the basis of his own experiment before it could be put into mass production.

But soon he encountered a new problem.

After several days of continuous forging of iron tire bows, the pig iron that Liu Zheng had collected these days was finally exhausted, and he would soon be unable to continue to forge new weapons.

Not to mention making stirrups, even continuing to make iron tire bows can't support it.

The remaining pig iron is enough for two days. Even if Liu Zheng continues to collect some iron tools in these two days and melt them into new pig iron, there is no way to complete the thousand iron tire bows needed.

After all, although an iron-bodied bow is just a bow and does not require much pig iron, the pig iron used in an iron-bodied bow consumes much more than ordinary weapons.

The pig iron of these iron tire bows has been repeatedly tempered. Only after enough pig iron is tempered until only a small part of the essence is left can it be finally formed, so a large part of the iron slag is removed.

This is also why Liu Zheng's pig iron is consumed so quickly.

Without pig iron, it is impossible to continue to make iron tire bows, let alone stirrups.

How to do it?

The only way is to buy like other princes, but Liu Zheng's money is not much, and it is also a problem to want to buy pig iron in large quantities.

And even if he is rich, as a remnant of the Yellow Turban Party, even if he is afraid of the officers and soldiers, he will not sell it to him.

However, if a large amount of pig iron raw materials cannot be obtained in a short period of time, Liu Zheng's plan to build iron tire bows and stirrups will be put on hold, then the stirrup he researched will not be able to bring great benefits to Liu Zheng's troops for a while. increase in combat power.

While Liu Zheng was still worrying about the pig iron, Zhou Cang found him in a hurry.

"Qu Shuai, I have something important to report!"

As soon as Liu Zheng saw Zhou Cang walking over in a hurry, he immediately put aside the matter in his heart, looked at Zhou Cang, and asked with concern.

"Brother Zhou Cang, what's the matter? What happened? You look so anxious, you seem to be in a hurry to find me."

"I do have something to look for you, but it's not in a hurry."

"whats the matter?"

"Is there anything else that we imprisoned in the dungeon, those few officers and soldiers, if you want me to say that you can kill them with one knife, so as not to waste our food."

As soon as Zhou Cang said, Liu Zheng suddenly realized that he remembered Qin Jie and Cai Mao who were locked in the dungeon by him.

Just the two of them, because Liu Zheng captured them in Caiyang City before, and did not hand them over to the Yellow Turban Army, but detained them privately.

Then they were imprisoned in the dungeon in Runan. After a few days, Liu Zheng forgot about them. If Zhou Cang hadn't mentioned them, who knows when Liu Zheng would remember that there are still these two people.

"What's wrong with them? Don't worry about them wasting food, just give them a bite of food a day, as long as they don't starve to death. After all, they are captives, do you still expect us to serve them with big fish and meat?"

"I think so too, but just now, the people under me came to report that Cai Mao felt that this kind of life was hard and wanted to talk to us."

"Talk to us, what are you talking about? Could it be that he still expects us to let him go?"

"Who knows? Qu Shuai, if you want to see him, go and see him. If you don't want to, don't bother. He seems to say that he wants to buy his life with money."

Zhou Cang's inadvertent words made Liu Zheng's eyes light up.

At this time, he was worrying about how to get a large sum of money so that he could continue to buy pig iron and make new weapons.

Isn't Cai Mao's words now just giving him a chance to make money?

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng immediately became interested, and then urged Zhou Cang.

"Hurry up, take me to meet Cai Mao, why did I forget him, this guy is a God of Wealth, really, he brought us pillows if he wanted to sleep."

Liu Zheng excitedly asked Zhou Cang to lead the way and walked all the way to the dungeon.

I saw Cai Mao and Qin Jie who were imprisoned in the dark and smelly dungeon.

Unlike Qin Jie, who is not afraid of life and death, and has a cold expression, Cai Mao is not so indifferent to life and death. He is even more timid, and naturally he can't stand being abused like this all day long.

As soon as he saw Liu Zheng's return, it was as if he saw a life-saving straw.
