Chapter 230: Lord of the Infantry
These craftsmen have always adhered to the cultivation techniques passed down from generation to generation. Even if some wisdom is used in small-scale reforms, each reform is slowly explored by several times.
If there is a major reform, it is also a reform recognized by one's own theory. For example, as soon as the stirrup proposed by Guan Yan was released, these craftsmen can understand the role of the stirrup after thinking about it again.
The quenching of horse urine is different. This reform is based on the chemical reflection of horse urine and iron dissolved. Horse urine contains salt, which cools faster than water during quenching. The steel after quenching is hard, so the strength of the weapon is enhanced and the combat power is also improved. But how could these craftsmen understand this? The concept of chemistry was formed in the 18th century. In this era, people's thinking did not involve scientific theories at all. Besides, the filthy thing like horse urine is used to quench military combat knives, which seems to be a bit blasphemous.
Therefore, when the craftsmen saw Guan Yan invading the red blade into the horse's urine, they not only felt regret of wasting the blade, but also felt dissatisfied with Guan Yan's approach.
Looking at the expressions of the craftsmen behind him, Guan Yan smiled slightly. This was also expected. The concept was not formed in a day or two, and it was not so Roewe if it was changed. The only way is to prove it with practice now that only in this way can these craftsmen be convinced.
Guan Yan took out the blade body, but the blade had not opened, and it could not prove the sharpness of the blade. The only way to prove was the strength of the blade body.
"Xiao Qi, bring the knife!" Guan Yan stretched out his hand and asked Xiao Qi, the captain behind him for the sword at his waist.
Guan Yan also hung a Tai A sword around his waist, but the Tai A sword is an ancient artifact. How sharp is that ordinary steel can withstand? If a sword is split into two segments, it seems that it cannot be used to verify it except for proving Tai A's sharpness.
Xiaoqi's sword is also a steel sword made by craftsmen by Baifu. Although it is not as good as Tai'a's magical artifacts, it is also considered a weapon among weapons.
Guan Yan placed the blade that had been quenched by horse urine horizontally on the anvil. The blade was dark and looked like a piece of burnt wood, which was very unpleasant.
Legend has it that when the ancients created magical artifacts, there will be strange phenomena when the magical artifacts are about to be completed.
Now that Guan Yan's method has been followed, let alone the strange phenomenon, the blade has become so ugly, which makes the craftsmen even more unbelievable about Guan Yan's purpose.
Guan Yan didn't say much, and raised his sword with both hands to slash hard at the dark blade.
Mars were rising everywhere, and there was a harsh metal collision sound.
Guan Yan slowly put away the knife, and everyone couldn't help but look down, and saw only a bright silver mark on the dark knife body.
Guan Yan said nothing, walked aside, rolled up a piece of rag, and took out a red-hot semi-finished long knife from the charcoal fire. This time, Guan Yan inserted the long knife into the water tank, and a ball of white mist rose with the "squeaking" and no longer had the pungent smell just now.
After the tumbling water surface calmed down, Guan Yan still placed the long knife horizontally on the anvil, held the big knife in his hand high, and slashed it hard.
After Mars, everyone couldn't wait to look at it, but saw that the long sword in Guan Yan's hand still fell on the blade and had not been taken away. It was not that Guan Yan did not take it on purpose, but that the blade had been stuck in the blade.
Guan Yan raised his foot, stepped on the blade, and suddenly pulled the sword back with both hands. The dark blade also had a bright silver white seal. The only difference was that this white seal was more than half an inch deep into the blade and slightly cracked.
In this comparison, the former's blade strength advantage is highlighted.
"Do you see clearly? With horse urine, the blade is hard and hard, and you can have the advantage of killing the two armies!" Guan Yan threw the long sword in his hand to Xiaoqi and said calmly.
Many craftsmen squatted around the cool quenching blade. After a long time, they said to a craftsman: "The lord has a miraculous effect. I have been practicing swords for thirty years. Today, I know the method of "horse urine quenching" and receive teachings!"
Guan Yan laughed: "Okay, okay, in the future, all quenching will be done with horse urine!" Guan Yan suddenly looked upright: "This method can only be used for our army. If there is any leak, behead it!"
"Here!"
Guan Yan wandered around the craftsman workshop for a long time, and when he returned to his room, it was already a high moon.
Luoyang and Jizhou are the places where Guan Yan can control it. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Liu Yan and other familiar Three Kingdoms heroes have also entered the historical stage in various parts of Jiuzhou one by one. Even though Guan Yan has the experience of later generations, he is still scared of these people.
The more I thought about it, the more I became more upset. Guan Yan shook his head and tried to throw these figures out of his mind. How to show himself well is the top priority.
Ancient wars were the most important factors in terms of formation, morale, weapons, and other factors. As the only manifestation of ancient wars, the importance of the quality of weapons is an important factor that influences the victory or defeat of wars.
Guan Yan's series of reforms seem to be just a small fight, but it has a huge effect on the combat power of a team. As long as there is an extra layer of advantage on the battlefield, there will be more chances of winning!
Now, under the training of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry of Guan Yan, the entire team's style has been dyed with the toughness of the northwest. Coupled with Guan Yan's stirrup and the weapons of horse urine quenching, the combat power has increased by at least 30%.
However, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry caused Guan Yan to worry another. That is, the cavalry can only serve as a front, a strange, or aid, but is not the real main force in the battle. Whether it is siegeing cities and camps or defending cities, an elite infantry is the soul of war.
Guan Yan carefully calculated the generals in his hands, Ma Teng, Ma, Pang De, and Ji Ling, who were the generals in his hands, may be effective in training cavalry, but he may have the will to train infantry but not enough.
As for Zhou Cang, Dian Wei trained hundreds of people to serve as guards, but if he practiced military formations and fought with the two armies, he would probably be powerless.
Chen Deng, Xi Zhicai, Ju Su and others arranged troops and made suggestions, but they were first-class experts, but training from the basics was not their strength.
After counting, I really couldn't find someone who could train the infantry of the first army. The great general of the Han cavalry did not have a suitable candidate to join the party and the chief general of the infantry army! Guan Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. It seemed that there were still too few talents in his hands!
Alas, what should I do?
Just as Guan Yan was worried, a small man shouted not far from outside the door: "Go and take the general's horse and brush it!"
"Oh~" replied the pawn with a muffled groan.
His voice was dull and quite distinctive, which made Guan Yan suddenly appear in his mind.
Guan Yan frowned and thought for a while, then quickly got up and snatched the door and walked out. Taking advantage of the moonlight, a burly figure was slowly walking out with Guan Yan's Jueying.
Chapter completed!
