Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 403 Breaking off the horse's head with one knife, making a miracle with great strength

Whether it is the awakening of people's consciousness or the New Culture Movement at the end of Han Dynasty.

Now it seems that it is still so illusory.

Of course, this is just one of Lu Yu's plans to... fight against the nobles in the future!
At least, right now... it's just a beautiful vision, or... a big pie.

so far…

This pie is enough to attract Zheng Xuan, and it is also enough to pull a key figure like Zheng Xuan into the same boat.

perhaps…

Newspapers and newspapers are still a little far away.

But... before Lu Yu's eyes, the most urgent task is to develop papermaking and printing techniques.

Mention these two inventions…

As a time traveler, Lu Yu felt very ashamed.

It's been so long, and papermaking has not been improved!Create typography!This is simply leaving the "tech tree" in mind behind. . .

Speaking of...

Cai Lun in the Western Han Dynasty was the first to improve papermaking.

The advent of Caihou paper marks that this great invention has entered the primary stage. However, in this era, people's perception of paper is still stuck in the words "Luoyang paper is expensive".

To put it bluntly, this is the thing... Ordinary people can't afford it, and they can't afford it.

The reason is that Cai Lun papermaking materials are too expensive, the process is too cumbersome, and Caihou paper is also ridiculously expensive!

Bark, hemp head, cloth, fishing net...

It is manufactured through processes such as crushing, smashing, frying, and baking. Not to mention the high cost and complicated manufacturing process, the key is that the texture is rough and not popular.

The raw materials that can be used to make paper are actually wider and cheaper.

In Lu Yu's memory, mulberry bark and rattan bark were used to make paper during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties;

In the Sui Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, bamboo, sandalwood bark, wheat stalks, rice stalks, etc. could also be used as raw materials for papermaking, and the cost was further reduced;

In the Tang Dynasty, bamboo paper made from bamboo represented a major breakthrough in papermaking technology.

To put it bluntly, the process of papermaking has been completely finalized since Cai Lun improved it...

Even in later generations, the principle of papermaking is the same, the only difference is the material!
The selection of these materials, the process of paper making and printing, Lu Yu can write out silently...

It is not difficult to summarize it into a book and promote it...

But the specific details are a bit cumbersome. This is like the food made in many videos in the previous life, which is full of color, aroma, and taste. But try it yourself, it’s not like that at all, the standard "buyer show" With "Seller Show".

The key to turning a buyer's show into a seller's show in seconds lies in the people...to be precise, the talent!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu rolled his eyes.

don't say...

During the period between the end of Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there really was such a person. He silently summed up Cai Lun’s papermaking experience and improved the papermaking process. The paper he produced was bright and clean, suitable for writing, and had a high use value.

Together with "Zhang Zhi pen" and "Wei Dan ink", it is called the "three famous products" of the contemporary study room!
only…

It is still ten years before this talent completes this improved papermaking process!

Lu Yu has to help him speed up!

As for... his name.

Lu Yu once saw the "Three Famous Products" in the museum, and silently memorized them...

Immediately, Lu Yu took a pen and wrote his name on the bamboo slips—Uncle Zuo!
"Where is the code?"

Lu Yu greeted outside the study.

"The end will be..."

Dian Wei cupped his hands and stepped in...

"Send some people to Donglaiye County to find someone for me!" Lu Yu ordered.

"Who is it?" Dian Wei asked.

"My surname is Zuo Mingbo, and my name is Ziyi!" Lu Yu's tone was quite serious. "Tell the soldiers of the Longxiao Battalion to be more polite when inviting this person..."

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed, and went down to make arrangements.

At this time, what Lu Yu thought of was a sentence of Xiao Ziliang mentioned in "Southern History·The Biography of Xiao Ziliang"-"Ziyi's paper is beautiful and radiant; Zhongjiang's ink is like lacquer; Boying's pen is poor." Do your best."

Corresponding to these three famous products-"Zeki paper", "Wei Dan ink", "Zhang Zhi pen"!
Thinking of this...

Lu Yu's eyes blinked slightly.

He figured that papermaking would shine ten years ahead of schedule.

Xu Capital City, Forge.

Because of Cao Mu's leadership, more and more women joined the forge. The carefulness of the women and the hard work of the rough men combined to form a unique landscape.

As the saying goes, when men and women match, work is not tiring...

Cao Mu really felt this.

The reason why Cao Mu boldly used these women was because...she had asked Lu Yu how to further enhance the efficiency of the forge.

After all, with more and more soldiers and horses in Cao Ying, the pressure on weapons will naturally increase, and the pressure on the forge can be imagined
And Lu Yu's answer is very simple, just one sentence...increase the enthusiasm of the craftsmen.

He even cast a very evil look in his eyes.

Lu Yu taught Cao Xiu...

Let male blacksmiths and female craftsmen mix together, several people form a group, roughly one female with several males!

The salary of male craftsmen is determined by the quantity and quality of forged weapons, while the salary of female craftsmen is determined by these male craftsmen...

so so...

At first hearing, Cao Mu felt that this idea was outrageous, but after trying it on a small scale, the efficiency was surprisingly good.

So, I saw this scene...

In the entire forge... a large number of men and women work together.

The male craftsmen work hard on forging steel, making steel, and making weapons and armor, while the female craftsmen...carefully serve water and wipe sweat for the male craftsmen!
The efficiency of the entire forge has really doubled.

Now, Cao Mu doesn't understand...

The main reason is that she is too simple, she only knows how to do business... she doesn't know the true meaning of the so-called "men and women match, work is not tiring".

This time...it seems like a door to a new world has been opened.

In fact, this truth is not complicated!

Think of her Cao Mu, why?Why is she working so hard to run the forge?Isn't it just to... impress Lu Yu?Let the father look at him with admiration, let them recite the sentence "Who says women are inferior to men"?

and this…

What is transformed into is infinite power.

The blacksmiths don't have so much thought, what they want is nothing more than the salary and the eyes of the women around them...

Amidst the greetings from the women, not only forged steel's hands became hard, but their whole body was as hard as steel. In addition, their hard work not only determines their own salary, but also plays a decisive factor in the salary of the women around them...

There are several pairs of singles!

How can the efficiency be low?
"This guy, he's always good at playing tricks like this!"

Cao Mu curled his lips and couldn't help complaining.

at this time…

"Miss Cao, please take a look..." Two blacksmiths brought a pair of newly forged weapons to her.

"This is..." Cao Mu's eyeballs swept across the weapon, which was completely different from the weapons forged in the past.

It is said that a sword is not like a sword, and that a knife is not like a knife. The whole blade is divided into two parts. Forty percent of the blade.

It's fine if it's just like this, but it's unimaginable that such proportions appear on this three-meter-long blade.

It can be said…

The forge has never forged such a strangely shaped weapon.

"This is Mo Dao..." The blacksmith reported truthfully.

Only then did Cao Mu recall that the last time he had a conversation with Lu Yu, apart from mentioning "a man and a woman match, work is not tiring", Lu Yu once again put Modao on the agenda.

Now that the Central Plains has been settled, iron, which has always been scarce, is now... also abundant. A large amount of fine steel has been forged in full swing, and the conditions for large-scale forging of Mo Dao have been met!
Of course…

That's what Lu Yu said...

But Cao Mu didn't pay too much attention to the forging of the Mo Dao. After all, the "weird" Mo Dao pattern provided by Lu Yu just looks... this weapon is very unreliable!
When she returned to the forge, she just ordered a few blacksmiths to try to forge one!
Unexpectedly, it has been forged...

Tread…

The lotus steps move lightly.

Cao Mu carefully observed Modao from all directions, and she even tried to lift it up, but...how could she lift her small arm?

"I'm afraid it must weigh more than fifteen catties?" Cao Mu asked...

"It's a full twenty catties!" The blacksmith replied: "The blade is three feet long, the handle is four feet long, and an iron drill is used for the bottom... When it is disassembled, it is a broad sword placed on a long handle. For counterweight! And the whole body of this broad sword is forged from fine steel, and the iron consumed by this Mo Dao alone can forge fifty long spear heads!"

call…

Hearing this, Cao Mu let out a breath. At first, he thought in his mind, a weapon of this weight...who can wield it?

But when I heard that the consumables of a Mo Dao were the same as fifty spear heads, I immediately felt a little distressed!

and…

Cao Mu is a master forging, she saw the biggest drawback of this Mo Dao at a glance!

This Mo knife looks extremely sharp, but under such a sharpness, it must have the disadvantage of all sharp knives - it is easy to chip.

The so-called collapse refers to...

The Mo Dao, which was originally forged from a large amount of iron, will chip and crack due to intense friction after a fierce battle, and even have to be scrapped, which undoubtedly increases the cost of using the Mo Dao. .

"This…"

Cao Mu's eyeballs kept rolling... She pouted from time to time, all her thoughts were on this Modao?
This thing?In the end... forging or not?
"What a problem!"

Don't forge, this was mentioned by Lu Yu on his own initiative. Although she, Cao Mu, is in charge of the forge, but the forge now belongs to the Long Xiao camp. Is Lu Yu still her immediate boss?

Can be forged... this thing?Who has so much strength?Charge into the battle with a weapon weighing more than ten kilograms, and... once it is put into use, the consumption of iron and iron in the future will be extremely "terrifying"!

For a while, Cao Mu was caught in a tangle.

at this time.

tao tao…

Footsteps sounded...

"Report... Cao Zhang..." A soldier from the Longxiao Battalion outside the door quickly walked up to Cao Mu and said, "General Gao Shun of the trapped camp, General Zhang Liao of the Longxiao Battalion came to find the girl!"

Well…

Cao Mu rolled his eyes.

Before he could give an order... two rough voices were heard.

——"Cao Zhangshi, there is still a shortage of [-] sets of fine steel armor for this camp. The current situation cannot be changed. The war is imminent. Cao Zhang has to be the first to help us forge it. Otherwise... how can we be trapped in the camp for us? What about Commander Lu's meritorious service?"

——"Master Cao, there are only 300 Bingzhou knights in our Longxiao camp, and the promised [-] stainless steel halberds have not been delivered yet. Mr. Cao will not give them to us before the expedition, right? Anyway, let the soldiers get used to it...The three hundred fine steel war halberds have to be delivered as soon as possible!"

The first voice was Gao Shun, the leader of the trapped faction.

The second voice came from Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. It stands to reason that he commanded 300 Bingzhou wolf cavalry and now all of them belong to Long Xiao cavalry. independent.

now…

Their tone is quite gentle.

After all, this time I came here to ask for help.

People outside the Longxiao camp don't know, but who in the Longxiao camp doesn't know?The reason why the Longxiao Battalion is invincible and invincible, apart from Commander Lu's strategy of attacking the enemy's heart and mind, these fine steel armors and weapons are also an important part.

For this reason, not to mention the Longxiao camp, but the entire Cao camp, all the generals were very polite when they saw Cao Mu.

If it was Cao Hong who came, he wouldn't be able to guarantee everything... he would have a nose and a tear, and even play a rogue!

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are already doing well.

At least…

In Cao Mu's view, he still belongs to his "own people"!
"The armor and halberd that the two generals need, the forge is already working hard, but...steelmaking takes a lot of time, and I hope the two generals will not be impatient... If they are forged, I will send someone to notify the two generals as soon as possible .”

Cao Mu recited such words skillfully...

She was used to it. One day, there would not be ten or eight generals who came to the door. To deal with them, Cao Mu had already prepared [-] sets of speech skills.

This…

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at each other, and they remembered that last month... Cao Mu sent them away with such a set of words!
But it's been a month, where can I see a fine steel war halberd?A set of steel armor?
I'm afraid that by now, Cao Mu has forgotten...that he sent them away, right?
Gao Shun frowned.

Before coming...he made up his mind, this time he must be "shameless"...

Like Cao Hong, he is so stubborn that he won't leave unless he asks for it!

Although...it's embarrassing to do so, it's not in line with Gao Shun's usual character, but a set of fine steel armor is the life of a soldier on the battlefield.

"Master Cao..."

Gao Shun opened his mouth, and he, who has always been clumsy and tongue-tied, was about to play a rascal.

Just when he opened his mouth, Gao Shun suddenly noticed the "Modao" beside Cao Mu... He didn't know it was called a "Modao", but the length and sharpness of this weapon immediately attracted his attention Notice.

"This is?"

While asking, Gao Shun brought up the Modao.

"Good guy, it's quite long and heavy!"

Gao Shun sighed with emotion...

At first, he thought that the Mo Dao was a one-handed weapon, but the weight of more than 20 jin was pressed on one arm, after all, even Gao Shun felt a bit heavy!
He tried to hold both hands at the same time, but it was still a little heavy...

But... his eyes have already started to move up slowly from the bottom "iron drill", to the "hilt", to the blade similar to the "broad sword", and then look at it as a whole...to observe!

A moment's work...

He seems to understand something...

So, he began to try to swing it, but he was not flexible, but... the strong wind howled when he swung it, which shows that this weapon is extremely destructive.

only…

Gao Shun's eyes narrowed gradually, and suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind.

The disadvantage of this weapon is that it is heavy and inflexible, and maybe its advantage is also this?

even.

For a moment, Gao Shun's eyes flickered.

You know, Gao Shun is a weapon master of this era, proficient in all eighteen weapons.

The camp he commanded was the most well-equipped army in this era before the Long Xiao camp.

The armor usually used by the camp is "black fish scale armor". The weapon in the right hand is either a "hooked sickle spear" or a "ringed knife" depending on the opponent. choose from!

According to Gao Shun's idea, he wants to forge the trapped camp into a corps that can use corresponding restraint weapons according to the opponent's arms, and infinitely restrain the opponent!

Of course, this ideal is fine.

But... the reality is that infantry has a pain point that can never be avoided, that is, it is difficult to parry when faced with the charge of cavalry.

To this end, Gao Shun tried a lot of weapons...

Even though... the trapping camp in the back is already awesome enough, even able to fight the cavalry with the equipment and formation, but this still can't avoid the pain point of parrying the cavalry!
The reason…

It's still a weapon, it's because the blade is not long enough, not sharp enough...

If there is a kind of weapon that can chop off the "horse head" with a single knife, then the cavalry will no longer be arrogant in front of the infantry!

nowadays…

The weird weapon in front of him now, doesn't it conform to all Gao Shun's fantasies, all fantasies of "cutting down" the horse's head on the battlefield!
"This... what is this weapon called?"

At this moment, Gao Shun's heart was throbbing.

"Modao." Cao Mu didn't pay attention to Gao Shun's expression, and said casually: "General Gao, do you think this Modao is too heavy to be practical, and it is impossible to hold such a heavy object on the battlefield... You can't dodge the opponent's attack easily? Although it is a bit sharp, it will do more harm than good..."

A little sharp?

What is some sharp?

Gao Shun was startled, he didn't expect... Cao Mu underestimated Mo Dao so much?

However, think about it carefully.

No wonder.

Cao Mu has never been on the battlefield. Most of her understanding of weapons is from the mouths of soldiers. Her understanding is at most that "one inch is long and one inch is strong, and one inch is short and one inch is dangerous".

How could she know that the length, weight, and sharpness of this Mo Dao have surpassed her previous understanding of "sharpness" and "strength".

At this moment, Cao Mu's words continued.

"I don't know...Why did you Commander Lu want to draw such a useless weapon? Isn't this consuming iron and steel for nothing? Really!"

Cao Mu also complained...

Uh…

Commander Lu?
Gao Shun, on the other hand, heard the words "Commander Lu", his eyes sparkled.

It would be fine if Cao Mu didn't mention Lu Yu, but Lu Yu was the creator of the Modao she drew out. Then... then Gao Shun's understanding of the Modao should be deeper and bolder!
Gao Shun heard...

The previous "forged steel" was completed under the guidance of Commander Lu, and it was completed when everyone was not optimistic.

Jewels come first.

perhaps…

This time, Commander Lu's original intention and intention in designing this Modao... What's more, the length, weight, and sharpness of this Modao are all intentions!
The purpose... perhaps, is to let this Modao crush the enemy with absolute power!

Yes, what if this Mo Dao could break the horse's head with one swing when facing the cavalry?All men and horses were smashed under one blow?Then... where is the flexible dodge used?Where is there any defense!
Previously...

During his conversation with Lu Yu, Lu Yu raised a concept... One force down ten times!

Do not!
To be precise... What Mr. Lu mentioned is—to work hard to create miracles!
