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

Li Tian walked over, lifted the tarpaulin covering the car, and his eyes lit up.

They are all top-quality refined iron ore.

It's estimated that it can fire dozens of weapons.

These dozens of weapons could earn Li Tian at least a hundred taels of silver.

the most important.

Wolf Head Fortress has fewer than ten men; a handful of iron ore from these mines would be enough to equip the entire squad.

Li Tian always believed.

In ancient warfare, besides the number of troops, equipment was the decisive factor.

"Master Zhou was quite capable this week."

Li Tian's opinion of Zhou San improved somewhat, and he asked the question without showing any emotion.

"Tell me, what weapon does your master want?"

Lai Sheng immediately took out a list of supplies he had prepared in advance and handed it over with both hands.

Li Tian glanced at it; it read: 50 broadswords, 50 white wax spears, 30 iron lances, 300 arrowheads...

"These are roughly the first batch of weapons."

"My husband said to check the quality first; if the quality is good, the next batch will be larger."

Lai Sheng spoke quickly, his face respectful.

"Okay, go back and tell your husband to come pick up the goods next month."

After sending Lai Sheng away, Li Tian had his men unload the iron ore in the yard, rolled up his sleeves, and began forging iron.

There was no other way; as a blacksmith, he felt uneasy if he didn't work on iron for a day.

Bang bang bang!

Soon, the rhythmic sound of blacksmithing could be heard from the courtyard.

Chen Junshan leaned closer, watched for a while, and asked, "Sergeant, what are you building?"

"Make a few handy weapons for the brothers," Li Tian said.

Chen Junshan clicked his tongue and said, "I checked the tunnel; it leads directly to the back of the mountain." After saying that, he asked somewhat nervously.

"Sergeant, what about that general today...?"

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Li Tian chuckled and swung the hammer to continue forging iron.

Bang bang bang!

Sparks flew as the hammer struck.

.......

boom!

Inside the vanguard camp tent.

Lu Zhaoan kicked over the table in the tent, his face turning ashen with rage.

"Li Tian!"

Lu Zhaoan gritted his teeth and spat out those two words.

Since joining the army, Lu Zhaoan had never suffered such a humiliation.

He was cleaved off his horse by Li Tian's two swords in front of the three armies.

He was so frightened by his fiancée that he slunk away.

"Li Tian, ​​if I don't take down your Wolf Head Castle tonight, I, Lu Zhaoan, swear I'm not a human being."

Lu Zhaoan cursed under his breath, then took out a map from his deerskin pocket and examined it carefully.

Wolf Head Fort is actually just a small earthen fort.

There are no rivers or waterways around it, nor any natural defenses to protect it.

How could such a dilapidated outpost possibly stop Lu Zhao'an's vanguard?

Lu Zhaoan stared at the map for a while, then came up with a plan. He sneered and said, "Personnelman, call Tu'an in."

A moment later, Tu'an walked in. Lu Zhao'an whispered a few words to him, and Batu sneered, saying, "Don't worry, Captain," before turning and leaving the tent.

Lu Zhaoan slowly sat down on his deerskin chair, picked up the map from the ground and examined it carefully, with only one thought in his mind.

"Tonight, we must take down Wolf's Head Castle tonight."

.......

Wolf Head Fortress.

Everything was calm and peaceful.

Those who should watch birds should watch birds, those who should forge iron should forge iron, and those who should do carpentry should do carpentry.

The only thing that worried Li Tian was why Chen Jing, who had gone to Nankai City to deliver the message, hadn't returned yet.

The night passed quickly, and the cold wind howled over Wolf Head Fortress.

Li Tian, ​​holding a torch, surveyed the area around Wolf Head Fortress, then instructed Chen Junshan, who was on night watch, to pay attention to any movements around them. He then yawned and returned to the dilapidated temple.

Wolf Head Fortress returned to peace.

......

Thirty miles away, a cavalry force of about a hundred men, all elites of the vanguard battalion, was rapidly advancing towards Wolf Head Fortress.

The horse's hooves were wrapped in straw, so it didn't make a sound when it stepped on the ground.

With a bit stuck in its mouth, the warhorse couldn't utter a single neigh.

The soldiers on horseback all carried large bows on their backs and broadswords at their waists, exuding a murderous aura.

Lu Zhaoan rode his warhorse at the front, his face serious, but his heart was filled with murderous intent.

"Li Tian, ​​Wolf Head Fortress."

"Tonight is the night you repay your debt."

.......

On Wolf Head Fortress, the cold wind was biting. Behind the suspension bridge, a bonfire was burning. Sun Sheng sat behind the bonfire, making a whistle with a small knife in his hand.

He used to be a militia instructor in Zhoujiazhuang, where he had no worries about food and drink, but he always felt that something was missing.

Now that he has joined the Wolf Head Fortress's military camp, he realizes what he lacks: the heroic spirit of a true man, and the feeling of being treated as one of his own.

With a thud.

A slight noise came from the western mountain peak.

Sun Sheng immediately became alert. He put down the wood in his hand, walked down, and shone the torch down. It was pitch black below, and there seemed to be nothing there.

Sun Sheng went back and continued making his whistle.

He didn't notice that at the foot of the mountain, two young men dressed in black were clinging to the cliff face like geckos.

Apart from the men in black on the west side.

There were also two men in black on the south and north sides.

Like the men in black before them, they pressed their bodies tightly against the cliff face, becoming one with the darkness.

Those were the scouts from the vanguard battalion.

Yesterday, Li Tian killed a team of scouts from the vanguard battalion; tonight, they've come for revenge.

Even more terrifying is...

About a mile from Wolf Head Fortress, a cavalry battalion of one hundred men was patiently waiting.

They have sharpened their swords.

They were just waiting for the drawbridge at Wolf Head Fortress to be lowered so they could rush in and wipe out everyone inside.

“Wuwu!”

Sun Sheng finally finished making the whistle. He put it in his mouth and blew it, and a harsh, unpleasant sound immediately rang out.

Sun Sheng didn't notice that two dark figures had silently appeared behind him.

One of them pulled a dagger from his waist, lunged forward, covered Sun Sheng's mouth with one hand, and stabbed the dagger viciously towards Sun Sheng's waist.

Sun Sheng was wearing leather armor, and it was this leather armor that saved his life. The dagger pierced through the leather armor, but did not penetrate his vital organs.

The intense pain enraged the bear-like man. He abruptly turned his head, grabbed the man from the ground with one hand, and slammed him violently down the mountain.

With a loud bang, Sun Sheng threw the man off the cliff.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get up!"

"The vanguard battalion's bastards have attacked."

Having defeated one enemy, Sun Sheng finally had the strength to shout at the top of his lungs.

laugh!

My back is burning with pain.

Sun Sheng knew he had been stabbed in the back.

Without thinking twice, he grabbed the large cleaver that was thrown on the ground and slashed it behind him.

The wind howled, but it struck nothing.

Sun Sheng suddenly turned around, only to find that five men in black had appeared on the suspension bridge at some point. They were well-coordinated and expressionless.

Three men in black rushed toward the winch controlling the suspension bridge, while two others drew their broadswords and charged toward Sun Sheng.
