Hua Mulan had already rushed to Nantian Castle in the morning. Nantian Castle is closer to Shengle City, so she got the news earlier than Jinling Camp.

Zhao Junsheng didn't seem very happy about what he had expected, even though Wan Dugui also sent someone to call him to drink and celebrate, he just pretended to be very happy.

For several months in a row, people in Rouran committed crimes in the future, and the Jinling camp was quiet for several months, and the lost troops were replenished one after another. However, the Guanzhong area has not been very peaceful in the past few months. Tuoba Tao and the Northern Wei court executed This year's strategy to attack the Guanzhong region has become a mess.

On the second day of May, the supply camp.

Zhao Junsheng stood on the edge of the school field with a knife in his hand and supervised the soldiers' drills. The sword and shield soldiers kept practicing blocking and slashing, the spearmen practiced assassination, the archers and crossbowmen practiced shooting skills, and the strong Modao The soldiers of the team were dressed in thick iron armor, and the number of the team expanded to 200. They lined up in a square formation and stepped on neat steps under Li Bao's order, further stabbing, two steps of oblique slashing, and three steps of slashing.

Until now, Zhao Junsheng looked at these heavy soldiers who practiced meticulously, and he had a little confidence in his heart. If the Modao team were deployed in front of the formation, the spearmen would protect the wings, and the sword and shield soldiers would hold the archers and crossbows. With the hand guard in the middle, just relying on the 900-strong supply troop, he led them to dare to fight against a thousand cavalry!

"Captain, we have added a new forging process to create a Mo Dao, which is exceptionally sharp and tough, please go and have a look!" Jiao Yunzhe, the head of the archery team, came over and handed over a report.

Zhao Junsheng heard it, "Oh? I want to see how sharp it can be. Let's go and have a look!"

The two came to the camp of the craftsman team. Some blacksmiths were gathering around a rectangular wooden table, and on the wooden table was a Xueliang knife.

"Get out of the way, Captain Captain is here!" Jiao Yunzhe brushed aside a few blacksmiths, led Zhao Junsheng to the wooden table, pointed to the Mo Dao on the table, and said, "Captain Captain, this is what my subordinates said was just made. That Mo Dao!"

Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand to grab the Mo Dao, looked at it and asked, "I think it weighs fifteen catties, right?"

"It weighs eighty-five catties!"

I poked the blade with my fingers, and it looked really sharp, but I couldn’t fully test it out with my fingers. I knocked on the surface of the blade, and heard a crisp groan, "The sound seems to be good, there is no hoarse sound, what is it? How sharp is it?"

Jiao Yunzhe pointed to a thick piece of wood next to it and said, "Look at this one, it was cut off with a single knife, and the fracture is smooth and even!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and looked over. There was a piece of wood lying there. The knife was cut obliquely, and the fracture was sloped. It was indeed smooth and flat. He thought for a while and told Guo Yi: "Go to the carriage to find Liu He and ask him to lead a horse. Come!"

"Yes, Captain!"

As soon as Liu He heard Guo Yi say that Zhao Junsheng wanted to use a horse to test the sword, he was reluctant to bring him a good horse and gave him a wounded mule, which just happened to be unable to pull a cart.

The injured mule was led to the barracks of the craftsman team. Zhao Junsheng walked up to it with a Mo Dao in his hand, and all the craftsmen of the craftsman team came out and watched him.

"Get out of the way, don't let the blood splash on you!"

Following Zhao Junsheng's instructions, the craftsmen stepped back several steps.

According to Zhao Junsheng's estimation, the Mo Dao is at least [-] meters long. Holding the handle of the knife over forty centimeters in both hands, the tip of the knife is slanted downward, and his eyes have been fixed on the forehead of the mule and horse. He suddenly raised the Mo Dao and moved forward. straight stab.

With a sound of "噗嗤", the forehead of the mule and horse was easily hit by the sharp front end of Mo Dao.

After piercing more than ten centimeters, the mule and horse's body trembled.

Zhao Junsheng quickly drew the knife, raised the knife and slashed forward like lightning. "Pfft!" Roman was split in half from the head to the back and collapsed on the ground. Blood and internal organs were scattered all over the ground, only the buttocks were not chopped. Open, that's because the knife is only so long.

For straight stabbing and chopping, Zhao Junsheng didn't use all his strength, but only used [-]% of his strength, which easily pierced the forehead of the mule and horse and split it in half. The sharpness of this Mo Dao has far surpassed that of ordinary weapons .

Zhao Junsheng took the Mo knife back and checked it again. There was no gap at the tip of the blade, nor did it collapse at all, everything was as it was before!He immediately laughed: "Hahaha... well, this Mo Dao is well made, this is the Mo Dao that Captain Ben needs!"

Jiao Yunzhe and the craftsmen had smiles on their faces, and Zhao Junsheng's affirmation showed that their hard work in the past few months was not in vain.

"How long does it take to build such a Mo knife?"

Jiao Yunzhe made a rough estimate and replied: "It takes about six days for a craftsman to complete the construction. If the assembly line operation proposed by the captain is used, the time can be shortened to three days, but its sharpness and toughness may be weakened!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the Mo knife in his hand, it could be called a precious knife, and it was made of ordinary materials. If it was made of special materials, how sharp would it be?

"Just use the assembly line to build, how long will it take to build two hundred handles?"

"It will take about two months. The main reason is that our number of craftsmen is still too small! Another thing is that we don't have enough iron materials. I'm afraid it's not enough to make two hundred Mo Dao!"

Zhao Junsheng recalled the captured Rouran cavalry weapons, and immediately said: "It's easy to handle, put all the captured Rouran weapons back into the furnace and re-smelt them!"

.

Chapter 218

Zhao Junsheng was very excited by the successful forging of Mo Dao, which was a symbolic product of an era. In that Tang Dynasty, it was precisely because the army was equipped with Mo Dao on a large scale that it became a magic weapon to restrain the barbarian cavalry on the grassland.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and announced to all the craftsmen: "Jiao Yunzhe, the former leader of the craftsman team, was promoted to the master of the teeth, and Wang Ke, the craftsman who successfully forged the Modao, was promoted to the leader of the blacksmith. All the blacksmiths will be rewarded with a piece of cloth, two catties of pork, Ten catties of flour and one copper coin! The other craftsmen will each be rewarded with a catty of pork!"

"Thank you Captain!" All the craftsmen cheered loudly and did not forget to thank them. Even carpenters, tailors, masons and other craftsmen got a catty of pork. attention.

The establishment of the craftsman team is a team, but the highest officer was the head of the army, and now the head of the army has been promoted to the master of the tooth, which is considered to be a lot of progress. This is directly related to the blacksmiths forging such a sharp weapon as the Modao.

Later, of course, Pei Jin brought people over to distribute rewards to the craftsmen, and Zhao Junsheng led Lu Xuanbo out of the camp of the craftsmen team.

Lu Xuanbo walked behind Zhao Junsheng with his sword in his arms, and said as he walked, "Young Master, I heard someone talking near Anyuan's tooth tent last night that Wandugui will be transferred away!"

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, and said with a serious face: "Is this news true?"

"This news was said by An Yuan's soldiers. It should not be false, right? The transfer order from Pingcheng should be sent to An Yuan's commander first. An Yuan was the first to see it. His soldiers knew the news. Strange isn't it?"

Zhao Junsheng knew that this matter was very likely to be true, so he immediately asked, "Do you know where General Wan is going to be transferred?"

"It seems that he is going to be transferred back to Pingcheng. I don't know what position he will be in. The higher-ups have appointed a new general of Huaishuo Town!"

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, "Who is it?"

"Leopard skin!"

"It's him?" Zhao Junsheng was surprised.

He has seen Leather Leopard many times, Wan Dugui took him to several military conferences hosted by An Yuan, and every time he saw Leather Leopard, this man is not very skilled in martial arts, but he is quite talented, every time At the military meeting, they can put forward very unique ideas and insights, which are quite appreciated by Yasuhara.

Zhao Junsheng stopped and turned his head to ask Lu Xuanbo: "I heard that this leopard doesn't seem to have any prominent family background. Why is he already a marquis at a young age, and he has been awarded the title of champion general? Do you know what his background is?"

Lu Xuanbo said: "I asked someone to inquire about it, and I was shocked when I inquired about it. Pibaozi really doesn't have a deep and powerful family background, but do you know who his backer is?"

"Who?"

"Tuoba Tao?"

Zhao Junsheng was stunned: "Emperor? Don't be ridiculous, I can also say that my backer is the emperor!"

Lu Xuanbo's face was serious: "I'm telling the truth. Pi Baozi is Tuoba Tao's childhood playmate, and he grew up together! He is from Yuyang, and he was selected into the East Palace as a good son to be Tuoba Tao's companion. Book boy!"

Zhao Junsheng suddenly realized after hearing the news: "Let me just say, how could a person without a strong family background become a high-ranking official directly from the very beginning, dare to be the emperor's playmate, wouldn't this be another Wandu return?" ? After leaving Wandugui, another leather leopard came, what kind of tricks is the emperor playing?"

Lu Xuanbo shook his head: "Who knows!"

Zhao Junsheng is not interested in supervising the drill of the heavy soldiers

Now, he took Lu Xuanbo to the garrison camp to look for Hua Mulan. Hua Mulan was leading the troops on drills. Seeing Zhao Junsheng coming to see her, he sent another person to preside over the drills and came over by himself.

After Shengle City was taken back, the position of Nantian Fort was not very important. Hua Mulan and her troops were ordered to return to the camp of the town garrison to continue training. Garrison.
