Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 580 Thriving 2
The people were not meant to refute what Gongsun Ran said. When they mentioned that their tribe was attacked before, these people were not only afraid, but also unwilling. They could have protected their livestock at that time. Yes, who would have thought that the weapons in his hands were really bad, the opponents were attacking with scimitars and spears, but he didn't even have a scimitar in his hand.

After a while, the scimitar was almost sold out by everyone, and the spear was soon gone.As for the scimitar, Gongsun Xu naturally didn't like it. The first batch of weapons always had many shortcomings. Gongsun Xu didn't want his subordinates to equip these weapons with poor performance.

But the herdsmen of other tribes don't think so. Maybe the quality of the scimitar is not good, but it is made of steel anyway. Even if it becomes dull after a period of use, they can still sharpen it on the whetstone, even if it is broken Yes, they can also find someone to go back to the furnace and rebuild.

After all, steel will never be consumed. After they buy it back, it can be used for at least several years.As for the spear.Except for the head which is made of steel, the rest of the parts are all made of wood. A quarter of the spear, if the spearhead is remelted, it will not be a problem to make a dagger.

"Okay, everyone, I'm really sorry, today's weapons are sold out." Seeing more and more people wanting to continue buying weapons, Gongsun Ran had no choice but to apologize: "I said at the beginning that things are limited, and if you want to buy more weapons, you can buy more weapons." Come on, it's gone now.

But don't be disappointed, we will continue to open the market in three days, and there will be more weapons for sale at that time, don't you want to buy arrows?There should be goods available at that time. Although the quantity is not enough, it is better than nothing.

By the way, just now I heard you complain about the high price of things. Hehe, there is no way to do it. Rare things are more expensive. Let’s do this. Now our tribe is recruiting warriors. If anyone of you has no concerns, you can sign up to participate. .

All the warriors selected by me can get a certain amount of remuneration every month. Scimitars, spears, bows and arrows are all provided free of charge, but there is a prerequisite, that is, they must join our tribe, and they must fully obey the orders of their superiors in the future .

Go back and think about it carefully. Even if you don't join our tribe, you can still go and have a look. After the snow stops, our tribe will carry out large-scale hunting activities. At that time, we will definitely need help. If anyone thinks that they are not bad If so, you can also sign up.As for the remuneration, hehe, there are cattle, sheep, horses, armor and weapons, it depends on whether you have the ability. "

"Ah, there is such a good thing." Someone in the crowd said in disbelief: "You are not lying to us, are you?"

"Um, brother, can you tell me a reason why I want to lie to you?" Gongsun Ran looked at him innocently and said, "If I lie to you, can you give me cattle, sheep and horses? Don't talk nonsense, I will be angry."

Everyone was amused by Gongsun Ran's humorous words. After the crowd dispersed, Gongsun Ran went to report to Gongsun Xu with all the gains.

These days, Gongsun Xu basically participates in the entire construction of the weapon workshop in the valley. Now the weapon workshop is considered the most important thing for Gongsun Xu. Although it can produce weapons, the quality is not very good. Gongsun Xu must find a way Bring up the quality.

"Master, the brothers have tried many methods in the past few days, and the quality of weapons has improved to a certain extent." Dian Wei introduced to Gongsun Xu: "Now we can prevent the scimitar from breaking by relying on thickening the back of the blade.

This not only saves a lot of steel, but also reduces the burden on the soldiers. Now the scimitar is basically a dozen catties, and its durability is still being tested. It is estimated that it will not be much worse, at least better than those of the grassland tribe better weapons. "

"Don't compare with them." Gongsun Xu picked up the scimitar and swung it around for a while, then said: "The quality is not bad enough to go to the battlefield, if the quality can be improved, we must find a way to improve the quality.

How many war knives like this do we produce every day? In the future, all war knives will have to imitate our army’s standard war knives. Since the quality of steel has passed the test, there is no need to make that kind of heavy machete. "

"If the quality improves, the output will definitely decrease." Dian Wei replied: "If we continue to improve the quality, we can probably produce [-] standard swords every day. It's okay to say that we can produce spearheads directly, and then we can Sell ​​the spearhead directly to those who need it, and let them do the final step themselves."

"Is it only five hundred?" Gongsun Xu said with a little disappointment: "In that case, let the brothers work harder. I will find a way to continue to expand the scale of the weapon workshop, and we must ensure that we have enough weapons before we leave."

By the way, arrows and short spears should be the easiest to produce. Just pour molten iron into a mold, cool it and polish it a little bit, and it will basically be successful. For spearheads and arrow heads like this, we can produce them in a day. How much to produce? "

"Hehe, well, I'm not boasting, you can have as many as you want." Dian Wei said with a smile: "As the lord said, these things don't have much technology, and they don't even need to be polished. As long as they are sharp enough, they can definitely kill force.

If we rush to work day and night, it is not a problem to produce tens of thousands of them a day. We can find another person to install the spearhead on the wooden pole. This is very simple, and many old people, women and children can do it without much skill. "

"That's the best." Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "Short spears must increase production, our soldiers are more proficient in this kind of weapon, and it is very lethal, and arrows have to be stored.

Now can we make a curved bow?What about armor?Can we mass-produce armor now?If there is not enough armor, the death rate of our soldiers on the battlefield will be very high, which is not a good thing. "

"Actually, the weapons of our Huben Army will not be short for the time being." Dian Wei replied: "Except for arrows and short spears, we actually have a surplus of other equipment, even if we fight back to northern Xinjiang, there will be no shortage. For warriors, a lot of armor and armor are needed, which is a problem.

The output of curved bows is not very high. Although nearby herdsmen can also produce curved bows, they are still far from our requirements. As for armor, if we want to make that kind of sophisticated armor, we may not be able to complete it. After all, it is a very complicated thing, and our craftsmanship cannot keep up. "

"In that case, let's just produce some armor for key vital parts." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "It's because my requirements are too high. How can I still produce high-quality armor at this time? It's not bad to have weapons.

How about this, just make whole armor such as tea heart mirror directly, the kind that is formed by pouring molten iron directly into the mold. Anyway, we are not going to form heavy cavalry, so there are not so many requirements. Helmets, heart guards and other armor should be considered good, the key is to give them enough weapons to allow them to defeat the enemy. "

"My lord is wise." Dian Wei agreed, "Then, lord, what about the curved bow? According to the craftsmanship produced by our northern border army, the production of the curved bow is a long-term project, at least starting from the selection of materials. We just don't have that much time."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Gongsun Xu waved his hand and smiled: "The bows produced by our Northern Xinjiang Army are indeed complicated, but the quality and durability of the bows are what Mei said, a bow produced by the standard At least one year.

We don't need to produce such a good curved bow now, as long as the range and accuracy can be guaranteed, even if a bow can only shoot ten arrows.Understand?We don't need a fancy bow.

It is also possible to directly make the horn bow of the nomads. Although the range of this horn bow cannot meet the requirements of our Huben army, but when the two armies face each other, this horn bow is basically enough. Each soldier probably Shooting three arrows is not bad, but the next close combat depends on the sword and short spear in hand. "

"If this is the case, then we won't have any pressure on our production." Dian Wei said with a smile: "Isn't the longbow drawn by the Lord a few days ago the same type? The longbow made directly by the elasticity of the tree trunk, As long as the arrow is that long, the range can be guaranteed.

Anyway, they are all disposable consumables, so there is no need to worry about how long such a longbow can be used.Don't worry, my lord, if there are only so many requirements, there will be basically no pressure on the weapons workshop, and our focus will still be on the production of swords and short spears. "

"That's right, that's right." Gongsun Xu nodded and replied, "That's right, the evil ones, those selected war horses must be kept in the stables in the valley, and they must be guarded by cronies. These horses must be equipped with horseshoes. .

This is our advantage. Our enemies don't know this secret yet. In order to be effective at critical times, we must keep this secret. On the battlefield, our horses will be stronger than the enemy's horses . "

"Then, what about the double-sided stirrups?" Dian Wei asked, "We've already produced these. Do we need equipment now?"

"Except for the Huben Army, the rest of the recruited warriors are not equipped for the time being." Gongsun Xu replied: "They need training. Anyway, the soldiers of the Huben Army will basically not be dispatched during this period of time. Even if they want to go out to hunt, they basically rely on those recruits. Warriors to finish.

The Huben Army is a secret now, so the news about the Huben Army must not be leaked, otherwise, your whereabouts and mine will also be exposed, let the brothers bear with it, we have to hide now. "

"It's easy." Dian Wei said with a smile: "Anyway, these guys eat and practice every day, so they can't be idle. Fortunately, this valley is big enough for the brothers to move around. , must be the time when the enemy is defeated and flees."

"It won't be too far away." Gongsun Xu looked at the busy crowd in the weapon shop and said, "Soon, soon I will fight back. I want to see who actually dares to design this for me."
