Zhao Hao excitedly got up from the bed, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on the paper.
It took me about an hour to finish the painting.
Picking up the paper and looking at the small things on it, Zhao Hao became even more excited.
"With this little gadget, I can definitely turn the situation around in one fell swoop!"
"This thing is much more concealed than a thunder bomb. When cavalry engages in large-scale combat, it can even play a greater role than a thunder bomb!"
The next morning, Zhao Hao didn't even have time to eat, and sent someone to find the thunder bomb.
Xiao Chuyun arrived and asked hurriedly, "Brother, what's the matter? Why did you ask me to come here so early in the morning?"
Zhao Hao laughed: "Brother Xiao, didn't you tell me yesterday to find a solution as soon as possible?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun immediately became excited: "What? Brother, have you come up with a solution?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Yes, I have already thought of a way to defeat the enemy!"
Xiao Chuyun said anxiously: "Really? Brother, tell me quickly!"
Zhao Hao smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Xiao, don't be anxious."
Xiao Chuyun said quickly: "How can I not be anxious? You don't know that my brother is almost dying of anxiety!"
"Brother, don't keep me in suspense. If you have any solution, just tell me now!"
Zhao Hao said, "Brother Xiao, please be patient. I want to ask you, we have quite a lot of new iron shipped from Qinzhou, right?"
The pig iron delivered was directly stored in the army.
This is a strategic material, specifically used to repair weapons!
Even if you have a powerful weapon, it can still be damaged.
Then we need pig iron to repair the damaged weapons.
Every quarter, there is a standard amount of pig iron to be replenished based on the size of the army.
Xiao Chuyun nodded: "Three batches of pig iron were delivered in total, each batch weighed one thousand kilograms, and now the total is three thousand kilograms."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly: "Three thousand kilograms... is enough!"
Xiao Chuyun was puzzled: "Brother, what are you going to make with this pig iron?"
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "Brother Xiao is really smart, that's right!"
After a pause, he continued, "Brother Xiao, the newly smelted pig iron is different from the previous ones. The army has also rebuilt the blast furnace, right?"
Xiao Chuyun nodded: "Yes, the craftsmen from Qinzhou personally guided and built a blast furnace."
Without a blast furnace, it would be impossible to refine pig iron into molten iron and repair damaged weapons by relying solely on previous methods.
Zhao Hao said, "Great, Brother Xiao, we will go to your army immediately."
The two men left the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to the army.
And they found a group of blacksmiths.
Xiao Chuyun said, "Brother, everyone is here. Tell me what you mean by the rules quickly. I am so anxious!"
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Xiao Chuyun.
"Brother Xiao, the method I'm talking about is this little thing drawn on the paper."
"You ask these blacksmiths to make this thing according to the picture. We can catch the enemy by surprise and defeat them!"
Xiao Chuyun took it and looked at it carefully. The thing on it was indeed not big.
Three slender spikes, pointing in three different directions.
It's easy to see.
This thing, no matter what state it is in, will always have a spike pointing upwards.
Xiao Chuyun immediately said, "Brother, why does the thing you drew look like a thorn?"
Zhao Hao immediately said, "Brother Xiao, you are right. This thing is called Tribulus terrestris!"
"It's specially designed to deal with cavalry!"
"Brother Xiao, just imagine if there were tens of thousands of these caltrops. When our army was retreating and the enemy was chasing us, our soldiers would keep throwing them back."
"What kind of scene will it be?"
Xiao Chuyun's eyes widened instantly and he took a deep breath.
"Needless to say, people and horses will be thrown to the ground in an instant!"
"At this moment, if our army turns back to attack, no matter how many troops the enemy has, they will become lambs to be slaughtered!"
"In addition, the enemy troops are injured by the caltrops and cannot dodge quickly. Our thunder bombs can play a decisive role!"
When Zhao Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xiao Chuyun is indeed experienced.
Last night, he thought that the thunder bomb would not have much effect, so he gave up on it.
Finally I thought of caltrops.
Even so, he didn't think of using the thunder bomb again.
However, Xiao Chuyun immediately thought that when the enemy was hit by caltrops and their movement was hindered, the thunder bomb would be able to show its huge power.
This is battlefield sense.
It was a keen sense of smell that a military novice like him did not possess.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The more he spoke, the more excited he became: "Suppose I lead 20,000 troops to attack the coalition forces of the two countries."
"Given their current posture, we only need to launch a feint attack and then retreat quickly."
"Then, wait for them to catch up."
"As long as they dare to pursue us, we will throw countless caltrops at them."
"Stop their movement speed."
"And then counterattack..."
"We will surely defeat the enemy with a smaller force!"
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up as well: "Brother Xiao, do you think this is feasible?"
Xiao Chuyun said excitedly: "Brother, this is not only feasible, it is so feasible!"
"With this, I can definitely use 20,000 troops to completely defeat the 120,000-strong coalition army of the two countries!"
