Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

At this time, in Xuchang.

Bai Feng was watering the crops in the farmland leisurely.

Crops are growing very well during this period.

Although this mansion has been abandoned for a long time, the land is indeed the most fertile in Xuchang.

Cao Jie often came to see Bai Feng during this time and helped Bai Feng water the water.

After all, Bai Feng has now sent Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry and Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, and Qin Liangyu to attack Bashu with Deng Ai.

Bai Feng can only do the farm work in this farmland by himself.

But after all, there are only five acres of land, and these crops only need watering, and there are no special requirements.

There is absolutely no need for pest control or anything like that.

The seeds provided by these systems will not breed insects at all.

After pouring water, Bai Feng had nothing to do, so he opened the system mall to see what else could be used.

I have to say that the current system mall is much better than the previous one.

After improvements, the system probably also understood that the previous path was wrong, so it directly eliminated all the things that had previously enhanced its strength.

The rest is changed to something that can be used as a minister.

It includes many things that will only appear in modern times or later generations.

Not only food, but also firecracker drawings.

But now let alone Cao Cao, even if Bai Feng does it himself, he can't make a fire blunderbuss.

Thermal weapons cannot be created just by thinking about it. It requires the cooperation of a very large and huge industrial system.

At the very least, there should be steel and the ability to produce parts so that the fire blunderbuss can be made.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to create these things out of nothing?

Bai Feng took a quick look and settled on a very good thing.

How to use black powder!

This is the only way to use thermal weapons that can be used now.

Black gunpowder has actually been produced since the Three Kingdoms period.

It's just that now is the era of cold weapons, and everyone has no idea of ​​​​hot weapons.

Everyone's thinking is still on either hand-to-hand combat or shooting with arrows.

At most, there will be some construction machinery and catapults.

In fact, catapults are similar to cannons of later generations, but they are far less powerful than cannons.

But even so, using this to attack a city is extremely effective.

If black gunpowder could be used to make something similar to a grenade, wouldn't it be possible to directly reduce the dimensionality and attack Liu Bei, Sun Quan, etc.?

After all, even if Cao's army is now very powerful, its numbers are also very large.

But fighting in the south is far less convenient than in the north.

Northern soldiers could not stand the southern climate alone.

What's more, we still have to fight on the river.

In this case, the strength of the northern soldiers will be greatly weakened.

Of course, the same is true for southern soldiers. If they go to the Northern Expedition, they will still not be able to stand the northern climate, but it will be much better than the northerners.

After all, to fight the cold, all you need to do is stuff wool or other warm things inside the armor.

But the northern soldiers are different. Just being acclimatized is a huge problem.

This is also the reason why Dongwu was not destroyed until the Jin Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period.

Since ancient times, it is not without reason that emperors like to run south when trouble occurs in the north.

Therefore, if you want to deal with the Sun-Liu coalition, Boss Cao's current strength alone is far from enough.

However, although black powder is easy to make, it still requires a certain industrial system to be used.

First of all, it’s steel.

In fact, the method of smelting steel already existed during the Three Kingdoms period, but the speed was extremely slow compared to later generations.

And the cost is also extremely high. Smelting pig iron into hundreds of forged steels, or even thousands of forged steels, requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

The armor weapons of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are made of ordinary smelted steel.

However, it is still far from comparable to Hundred Forged Steel.

But even so, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could still dominate the Three Kingdoms period with its excellent equipment.

The difference from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is that they are trapped in the camp. The 800 soldiers in the trapped camp are strong in their own right.

Every item picked up is at the level of a young general.

Although there are few of these soldiers, they still cooperate, and Gao Shun himself is good at arranging troops.

Therefore, the trapped camp almost completely defeated the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

It was only after the trapped camp was gone that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry dared to claim to be the leader of the army.

Of course, Cao Cao only managed to make five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry after all his efforts.

There were only five thousand cavalry, and it took most of Cao Cao's savings to build them.

This shows how expensive steel is.

However, Bai Feng naturally has a solution.

Filling steel method.

The production process of the steel pouring method is much simpler than the fried steel method that was popular at this time, and it is also a symbol of the beginning of industrialization.

Moreover, its output is at least dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of the fried steel method.

This kind of efficiency is not of the same order of magnitude at all.

But if you want to use the steel filling method, you must have a steel-making furnace.

Without a steel-making furnace, it would be impossible to pour steel manually.

After all, the melting point of iron is 1538 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, it would disappear as soon as someone touches it.

Therefore, steel-making furnaces are very necessary.

Now that he has finished the work at hand and just needs to wait for the food to mature, Bai Feng simply goes to prepare the casting of the steel-making furnace.

With a steel-making furnace, there will be an endless supply of steel.

With steel, armor weapons can be strengthened.

There is no comparison between pig iron and forged steel.

Forged steel is much tougher than pig iron and is not easily broken.

In a battle between two armies, if there is not much difference in strength between the two armies, then the difference in equipment will be seen.

Those with good equipment will always have an advantage.

You can imagine it.

Two people were fighting, one of whom had armor and weapons made of pig iron.

However, the other one's armor and weapons were made of hundred-forged steel.

In this case, unless the person using the hundred-forged steel equipment is a pig, he will definitely win.

There is no doubt that hundred-forged steel can easily cut through weapons made of pig iron.

And when a weapon made of pig iron strikes an armor made of hundred-forged steel, nothing will happen except sparks.

At most, it will leave a mark.

It is precisely because of this that steel is particularly important.

Not only the weapons, but also the application of black powder required hundreds of forged steel.

It can be said that as long as there is hundred-forged steel, its influence is no less than that of high-yielding crops such as potatoes and corn.

After all, one can make people eat well, and the other can help people expand their territories.

The two are simply indispensable and complement each other.

One can stabilize internal affairs, and the other can resist foreign enemies.

Now as long as these two things are done well, dealing with the Sun-Liu coalition will not be as uncomfortable as before.

I remembered that I had put a lot of effort into taking over Jiangdong.

Therefore, the first thing Bai Feng wants to find is Ma Jun, a famous craftsman in the north.
