I’m The King

Liu Tiejiang is the most infamous master and father of Juliguan. The weapons he crafted with his hands are tough and sharp, and no one can match them. Now he, except for occasionally making weapons for Fufeng army generals. Besides, I don’t come to the front line anymore. Most of the daily work is to patrol between the workshops and supervise the production of every link in the workshop. In the Juliguan workshop, hundreds of blacksmiths are now his subordinates. For such a life, he is very comfortable. You know, just two years ago, he was still a slave to the Donghu people. Although he has a good skill in ironing, he can only gnaw a few more bones than the other slaves. Since being rescued by the Fufeng Army led by Gao Yuan, his life has been better day by day. With this good skill, he has stepped up to the seat of commanding all the blacksmiths here, and how to make weapons, even here. Cao Tiancheng, the general manager of the country, Mr. Cao, also has to listen to him.

Liu Tiejiang has already been promoted from a blacksmith to an official under the General's Mansion of the Zhengdong Army, and the change in his status is not due to his great skill in ironing, but he has figured out how based on his own experience. The impurities are removed from ordinary iron and refined iron is refined, which greatly improves the quality of the weapons of the Eastern Army.

Like Liu Tiejiang, there is another person who has made his contribution to the upgrade of the Fufeng Army’s weapons. This person is called Mao Jie. This person first reduced the weight of the crossbow by a third, and then invented the application. Repeated crossbow used by cavalry.

The traces of the two also made the craftsmen at the Juliguan see another road to heaven. Therefore, at the Juliguan, the skilled craftsmen all thought about how to create a more powerful killing weapon for the Fufeng Army. So he got the opportunity to change his own destiny, and Gao Yuan took advantage of the situation and set up a master craftsman camp led by Cao Tiancheng. The recruits in the camp were all skilled craftsmen, their only job. It is to figure out how to make a weapon more suitable for military use. Both Liu Tiejiang and Mao Jie are among the leaders.

Holding the drawings handed over by the infantrymen, Liu Tiejiang was very embarrassed. As an old man in the Curie Pass, Liu Tiejiang was very familiar with infantry. At that time, they were standing in the Carpenter Village, and every day they would see infantry riding on their horses, coming in and out like the wind, but now, such a brave figure has also lost a leg.

"General Gao said, let you make this thing for me, put it on my lap, so I can move freely." The infantryman said straightforwardly: "Can you make it?"

As an old master craftsman, Liu Tiejiang just glanced at it. I know that this thing is not particularly complicated to make, but it has particularly high requirements for materials, and it must be extremely flexible and tough, but it is only necessary to move freely? He raised his head and glanced at the infantryman, "General Infantry. Hajime, please let me speak bluntly, this thing is easy to make, and there are some very good fine irons here, but I am afraid that it is difficult to move freely. General, you are a body of flesh and blood, and after this thing is made, put it on your lap, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot."

"You only have to fight it out, and don't worry about other things!" The infantryman waved his hand, disapprovingly. suffering? Is it more painful than when he cut down the bad left calf with a single knife?

"Yes!" Liu Tiejiang said to him no longer. To do this thing best is to give the broken leg general a best favor. "General, then I am offended. Please roll up your pants. I want to measure the size."

When the trousers are rolled up. Not only Liu Tiejiang, but even Tie Xuan, who was accompanying the simultaneous soldiers, couldn't help but take a breath. The wound was smooth and tidy, which shows how fruitful it is to go down as a preliminary soldier.

"How long can I get things?" The infantry couldn't wait.

"General Bu, there are several masters in the sacred craftsman camp who are good at blacksmithing skills, and they can make finished products within three days.

"Three more days? It only takes one day for you to make a double-edged sword!" the infantryman said with dissatisfaction.

"General Bu, this is different. Your requirements for this thing are much higher. His requirements for flexibility and toughness far exceed those of ordinary weapons. We also have to consider the general comfort level after you wear this thing!" Liu Blacksmithing.

"Three days is three days!" Tie Xuan on one side took the conversation, "But things must be good, Tiesmith Liu, after finishing this thing, not only the infantry general, but also General Gao will be very happy."

"Little old man must do his best!" Liu Tiejiang hurriedly bent down. He was grateful for Gao Yuan. These were his reborn parents. If it weren't for Gao Yuan, he would still be a slave in Donghu for one day. Three meals, worrying about how to feed the whole family.

During the three days of waiting, Tie Xuan saw how the infantry was re-practising riding skills. For the infantry who lost one foot, it’s not a big problem to ride slowly, but it is necessary to control the horse with only two feet, so as to free both hands. It is almost impossible to complete a series of tactical actions immediately. Watching the infantry fall from under the galloping horses time and time again, Tie Xuan looked pale. This was a joke about his life. However, the infantry has become accustomed to it. From the time he climbed back on the horseback, he was fully prepared. From the initial fall again and again, he couldn't get up for a long time. Compared with him, he is now much more proficient. , At least, he was able to effectively protect himself from major injuries when he fell down immediately.

The infantry can already wield a saber with one hand on the horse to make a slashing action. The goal of an infantryman is to free his hands completely. His most powerful skill is archery. Only when his hands are completely freed can he be able to solve the enemy in front of him on a galloping horse with a sharp arrow in his hand.

Three days later, Liu Tiejiang brought the first finished product. It seems very simple. A three-finger-wide metal plate is attached to a cover that can be put on the knee, and an arc is bent at the bottom, and an iron palm similar to a foot will come out.

The iron case wrapped in soft leather was wrapped around the infantry’s knees, and belts were wrapped around the infantry’s thighs, fastened and buckled, where the infantry was sitting, holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, seemingly using a lot of strength. , Finally stood up.

"General Bu, take a few steps and take a look?" Liu Tiejiang's voice was also a little trembling. Apart from his excitement, he was exhausted. He was almost sleepless for the past three days, seemingly that humble thing. However, it was the hard work of several masters, the metal plate that supports the weight of the body, but a dozen of the same length of fine iron repeatedly beat and fuse together. The snow pattern densely covered on the surface of the plate fully illustrates his rareness. If this plate is used to make a knife, it is designated to cut iron like mud.

Wherever the infantry stood steadily, first stepped forward with his right foot, and paused for a while, the iron foot finally lifted up, took a step forward, and when it landed on the ground, his stature staggered, humiliating Tie Xuan, who was beside him, quickly stretched out his hand to help, but only slightly swayed, and the infantry was already standing firm.

One more step, another step, the infantry walked out of the house step by step and onto the open space outside. A smile appeared on Tie Xuan's face, "Tiesmith Liu, you have done a good job again. After I go back, I will tell the general that you have worked hard."

"Thank you Tie Commander!" Liu Tiejiang smiled: "Finally, I am fulfilling my mission, General Bu, who is also one of my lifesavers. I am very happy to be able to do something for the general."

While speaking, the infantry had already walked back. Compared with the crooked figure when he went out, he was obviously more proficient when he walked back. "Very good, very good!" He said excitedly.

However, Liu Tiejiang squatted down and looked at the part where the iron sleeve was connected to the knee of the infantryman. Although it was only a short time, the place had already turned red.

"General, this..."

"It's okay!" The infantry smiled and waved his hands. "After some time, calluses will be formed in these places, and naturally it will be fine. Besides, I will ride on horses most of the time. The load is not that big, Liu Tiejiang, I still have to. Please make a few more for me. I don’t want him to break suddenly one day, but I don’t have spare parts. That would be a mistake."

"General, please rest assured, as long as the general stays in Curie for a few days, we will be able to make two or three more mates, once alive, twice cooked, and then do it again, but it will be easier."

"Okay, I'll wait at the Curie Pass." The infantry smiled and turned to Tie Xuan, "Brother Tie, you don't need to stay with me here anymore. I will wait for General Sun and them at the Curie Pass, and then join them. Confluence, you can go back to your life and tell General Gao that he will be able to see the original infantry again within a short period of time. The infantry will always be the best cavalry under his command."

Ten days later, when Sun Xiao and He Lanyan led a thousand infantrymen ~www.wuxiaspot.com~300 cavalrymen appeared at the Juliguan, they saw the infantry who had thrown their crutches from the Juliguan and walked steadily out one step at a time. At that time, the two couldn't believe their eyes.

"General Sun!" The infantry bowed to him, "The infantry report to you."

Sun Xiao got off his horse and walked up to the infantry without speaking. He squatted down and stared at the iron palm that fell on the ground. After a while, he stood up and stretched out his hand to hug the infantry in his arms, "Brother, welcome back." ."

The two embraced tightly and beat each other's back vigorously.

When Sun Xiao was released, the infantry turned his head to look at He Lanyan, and said with an open eyebrow: "Master, you are going to teach me horsemanship again!" He lifted the iron foot and waved it in the air a few times, "A man with iron feet Apprentice, master, you will definitely feel a sense of accomplishment!"

He Lanyan stared at the infantry, "As long as you are not afraid of hardship, I will not hesitate to teach you again." She said relaxedly, but there were tears flashing in He Lanyan's eyes.

The tiger head and the horizontal sword, who followed them closely, watched the infantry bravely showing off his iron foot in front of Sun Xiao and He Lanyan, and they all shook their heads involuntarily, "This guy, not a human!"
