The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

Li Sanyou used to be a blacksmith, while Zhao Sixi was a tall and strong young man.

The two men stepped forward, laughing and joking. Li Sanyou stood there without saying a word, while Zhao Sixi smiled.

"Li Tian, ​​what do you want with us?"

Li Tian pointed to a furnace nearby and said, "Later, I'll forge a knife. You two will assist me. Wherever my small hammer points, your big hammer will strike. Let you experience the charm of blacksmithing!"

As he spoke, Li Tian directly stuffed some firewood into the stove, struck it with a flint, and threw a piece of pig iron onto the stove. Zhao Sixi naturally added firewood to the stove, while Li Sanyou worked the bellows on the side.

Before long, the pig iron had been heated until it was completely red-hot, and plumes of black smoke rose straight into the sky from the stove.

Without saying a word, Li Tian picked up the tongs, held the red-hot iron block, placed it on a forging table, picked up a small hammer, tapped it once, and said.

"Follow me with your eyes; wherever my hammer strikes, your hammer will fall."

"What's so difficult about this!" Li Sanyou nonchalantly picked up the sledgehammer that was placed at his feet, and Zhao Sixi also picked up a sledgehammer from the ground.

Bang bang bang!

Several people began forging and hammering iron.

The soldiers nearby watched with curiosity, and they watched with smiles on their faces.

It was fine at first.

Li San's hammer fell like raindrops, yet he could keep up with Li Tian's speed.

After swinging it over a hundred times, Li San felt his arms were incredibly sore and weak, and even lifting them seemed difficult.

"Keep going!" Li Tian acted as if he hadn't seen it, continuing to hammer away. "Just think of it as you fighting someone on the battlefield. When you're exhausted, the enemy won't care about you and will keep hacking at you with their big blades."

"Ah!" Li Sanyou's eyes widened suddenly as he stared at the constantly deforming block of iron in front of him, as if a thousand troops were charging towards him.

Bang bang bang!

Li San started acting like a madman, picking up a hammer and smashing it randomly on the iron block.

"Use your eyes! Follow my little hammer. Hitting randomly like this is tiring and ineffective!"

Li Tian whispered a reminder, then explained.

"It's like going to war. If you just hack and slash randomly, you're just wasting your energy and it won't be effective. You have to hit the target to make it work."

"Stay calm. The atmosphere on the battlefield is most likely to drive people crazy. Always stay calm."

Li Sanyou finally calmed down, only to find, with embarrassment, that because of his haphazard smashing, Zhao Sixi next to him had no chance to strike, and stood awkwardly to the side, hammer in hand.

"Sorry, brother."

Li Sanyou told Zhao Sixi something, then stared intently at the spot where Li Tian's small hammer would land, and slowly he regained his rhythm.

Clang!

The rhythmic clanging of metal echoed across the field once again.

Before long, Zhao Sixi and Li Sanyou were both drenched in sweat, with two salt stains appearing on their backs, and their chests felt like they were on fire.

The soldiers beside him were initially just curious, but after Li Tian explained his reasoning, everyone began to seriously consider what they would do if they were Zhao Sixi.

laugh!

Before long, the basic shape of a dagger was completed. Li Tian put it on the stove to heat it again for a while, and then placed it on the cutting board.

"Who else wants to try and replace Zhao Sixi and Li Sanyou?"

"I'll do it!"

"I'll do it!!"

Two soldiers immediately came up and replaced Zhao Sixi and Li Sanyou in their original positions.

Zhao Sixi and Li Sanyou breathed a long sigh of relief and stood silently to the side.

Their arms are now as limp as noodles, and they can barely lift them.

Clang!

The rhythmic clanging of metal echoed once again over the camp.

The soldiers in the militia training had their interest piqued and suddenly felt that blacksmithing was a pretty good job.

laugh!

An hour later, Li Tian threw a bright red dagger into a bucket of ice water next to him to cool it down.

A dozen minutes later, Li Tian fished a bluish-green dagger out of the bucket, wiped off the water droplets, and handed it to Li Sanyou.

"Here's the dagger; you earned it with your sweat."

A smile immediately appeared on Li Sanyou's dark face. He took the dagger with both hands. Nothing could make him happier than forging a weapon for himself with his own hands.

then.

Li Tian turned around and shouted to all the soldiers.

"Now, the three of them will work in groups to forge their own weapons, while the rest will go into the mountains to chop firewood."

"Your task today is for each of you to forge a suitable weapon for yourself."

"Just you wait and see, Brother Tian, ​​we can also do blacksmithing."

The soldiers in the militia were all young men, at the age when their thirst for knowledge was at its peak. Upon hearing this, they were immediately invigorated and, in twos and threes, found a stove and began their blacksmithing careers.

Soon,

The eighty-odd earthen furnaces were already emitting black smoke, and the clanging of hammering metal was deafening.

Looking at the bustling scene, Li Tian let out a long sigh of relief.

My plan has finally begun to be implemented.

This is an army.

They were also a group of blacksmiths.

Self-sufficiency is the only way to succeed.

In the future, if I want to manufacture crossbows on a large scale, I will need the help of these people.

Li Tian began to wander around the camp, occasionally giving instructions to his soldiers.

After all, he had been blacksmithing for five or six years, and he knew much better than these people when to quench the iron and when to add more hammer blows.

Forging blacksmiths is indeed a strenuous job.

Before long, these young men were panting heavily from exhaustion.

Li Tian wasn't idle either. He and Tie Niu occupied a stove. At Tie Niu's request, his ring-pommel sword had become a bit dull, and he wanted to have a new broadsword made for himself.

Bang bang bang!

Li Tianyi held fire tongs in one hand and a small hammer in the other, while Tie Niu held a large hammer, swinging it frantically.

However, Li Tian still had a slight preference for his brother-in-law.

He secretly added a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron to the iron material.

In this way, the forged weapons are not only more durable, but also sharper.

Two more hours later.

The sound of hammering gradually faded away.

Amidst the smoke and flames, every soldier in the militia was exhausted, but their faces were beaming with excitement.

Because each of them possessed their own weapon, which they had crafted themselves.

Some had a dagger, some a long knife, and some a large iron hammer. Although they were crooked and oddly shaped, everyone had a weapon in their hands.

Li Tian glanced back and immediately pursed his lips. The weapons he had forged the first time were of poor quality and not evenly forged. It seemed that he would have to rework them tomorrow.

laugh!

Li Tian threw the ring-pommel sword he had forged for Tie Niu into a pool of water to cool it for more than ten minutes, then fished it out and handed it to Tie Niu.

"Brother Tie Niu, why don't you give it a try?"
