Chapter 296

Saying this to the soldiers under his command, Lin Yang waved his hand and had someone take Han Dang away!

"My lord, this person can command an army alone to cut off the rear and still remain calm; why doesn't the lord recruit him!" Guo Jia, standing nearby, saw Lin Yang have Han Dang taken away and couldn't help but tease!

Lin Yang turned his head and glared, saying angrily, "Fengxiao, since you want to recruit him so much, why don't you take on this task!"

Recruit Han Dang?!

Don't joke!

He was an old general who followed Sun Jian to pacify the Yellow Turbans!

Lin Yang had no doubt about his loyalty to Sun Jian!

He didn't want to take his hot face and look for trouble!

"Haha, my lord, this person cannot be recruited for the time being!"

Lin Yang was deflated, and Guo Jia smiled lightly, cupped his hands, and retreated!

How could he not know what Lin Yang knew!

"General Wenxiang, I wonder if I can take a look at your sword?"

After finishing the business, Guo Jia looked at the sword at Xu Sheng's waist!

"Oh, this?"

Looking at Lin Yang and seeing him nod, Xu Sheng handed over the kitchen knife Lin Yang had issued!

"Military advisor, this is a divine weapon specially configured by the lord, a special steel sword!"

Xu Sheng was afraid Guo Jia would accidentally hurt himself, so he explained!

Then he picked up a long sword nearby and clashed it with his special steel sword!

"Clang!"

Seeing the iron sword being hacked, it snapped under Xu Sheng's force!

"Cutting iron like mud!"

Seeing the power of this sword, Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, and others were shocked!

This was truly cutting iron like mud!

"My lord, could it be that this army is all equipped with such divine weapons?"

For a moment, Guo Jia looked at Lin Yang in a daze; he wanted Lin Yang's confirmation!

"Hmm, the army led by Xu Sheng and Ling Cao is all equipped with this sword!"

Nodding, he was very satisfied with the shocked expressions of Guo Jia, Taishi Ci, and others!

The Han Dynasty's iron forging technology was average!

Steel forging technology was even more backward!

Hundred-refined steel was time-consuming and laborious, and the quantity was very small!

His special steel kitchen knife was enough to be invincible on the battlefield!

"Five thousand people are all equipped with this sword!"

Guo Jia's breathing became rapid!

He finally understood!

Why Lin Yang was so confident before!

Thinking that the five thousand people like Xu Sheng could defeat Sun Jian's ten thousand-strong army!

Five thousand such divine weapons, how could a mere ten thousand people resist!

"My lord, I wonder if this sword can be equipped for the whole army?"

Taishi Ci, standing nearby, had eyes gleaming; he also liked this divine weapon very much!

Although it looked like a kitchen knife, as long as it was sharp and could cut iron like mud, it was a precious sword!

Thinking that if the fifteen thousand troops under his command were all equipped with this!

Taishi Ci had the confidence to break through an army of tens of thousands!

"Uh, Ziyi, don't think about it, I only have these five thousand!"

Yes, Lin Yang only had these five thousand!

When they were first refreshed, Lin Yang thought about locking this special steel kitchen knife!

And then!

Lin Yang discovered that he had been pitted by his own reputation marketplace!

Every time items were refreshed, as long as there were locked items, once unlocked, one had to wait for the next refresh to lock them again!

In short, unlocking could be done at any time!

But after unlocking, one had to wait for a refresh opportunity to lock the next one!

Just like that, Lin Yang could only watch helplessly as the special steel kitchen knives disappeared!

Five thousand!

Only five thousand!

If he had locked them once, he could have had tens of thousands of hundred-refined steel divine weapons!

After suffering this loss, Lin Yang learned his lesson!

Now, after exchanging for seeds, he simply doesn't lock special items!

A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit!

"Sigh!"

Hearing that there were only five thousand kitchen knives, Taishi Ci sighed with slight regret!

And Guo Jia, standing nearby, was very dissatisfied with Taishi Ci's attitude!

Five thousand!

Five thousand divine weapons like hundred-refined steel!

You actually want to equip the whole army?

Just forging one such divine weapon takes a terrifying amount of time!

In the world of the Han Dynasty, an ordinary steel sword forged from hundred-refined steel sells for twenty thousand coins!

The value of five thousand hundred-refined steel swords exceeds ten thousand gold!

Lin Yang's five thousand steel swords were of even better material, and their value was immeasurable!

The key is!

The time required to forge so many steel swords is terrifying!

None of the warlords in the Han Dynasty could afford to forge them!

If it were really that easy to forge hundred-refined steel!

Cao Mengde wouldn't have stopped steel forging!

One furnace produces five steel swords of hundred-refined steel!

Cao Mengde would cry at this speed!

If you have that time, it's better to forge more ironware and equip the whole army!

If it weren't for the reputation marketplace, where you could exchange for such things!

Lin Yang wouldn't be able to forge steel himself!

Didn't you see that Lin Yang had so much iron ore, and what he had people forge were still fish-scale armor and iron armor!

Because ancient steel forging speed was too slow!

Lin Yang couldn't wait!

According to historical records, ancient steel forging technology developed until the Tang Dynasty, and steel production increased!

In the Tang Dynasty, production could reach one thousand tons!

Then in the Song Dynasty, with the large-scale application of coal, production was a bit higher, only four thousand tons!

It wasn't until modern times that steel production was increased on a large scale!

Breaking the one hundred million ton mark!

From this, it can be seen how low steel production was in the Han Dynasty!

Waiting for steel forging to forge weapons!

I guess other warlords would have armed hundreds of thousands of troops!

"Ziyi, I will leave one of these weapons for each of you, as for equipping the whole army, don't think about it!"

Slowly recovering his mind, Lin Yang decided that after the battle of Yangzhou ended, he would equip everyone with a special steel kitchen knife!
