There are only 20,000 soldiers left in the Zhan family army, with no horses and no good weapons.
The barbarians starved countless cattle and sheep to death. They used dried beef and mutton as military rations. Very few soldiers starved to death, and most died of lack of water, vegetables, and illness!
Now that the news that there is water in the city is leaked, the Mobei Barbarian King will definitely attack the city.
Even if it costs a huge price, it will not hesitate. This is a life-saving water source!
Zhan Chengyin stood up, with a handsome face with sharp edges and a frown on his face.
He paced back and forth in the tent.
Seeing this, the soldier guarding the gate knew that the general was upset.
After everyone left, he also retreated a few meters away from the tent.
At this time, countless bags of coal slag and charcoal fell like rain above Zhan Chengyin's tent .
Hual ... Until his tent could no longer hold it, it burst open with a tearing sound. Cinders and charcoal rolled out of the tent like an avalanche, rolling all over the ground! "General..." The soldier heard the noise and ran over. Nothing fell within a two-meter diameter around Zhan Chengyin, and he stood there unharmed. The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and they carefully removed the cinders and charcoal. There was doubt in their hearts, wondering how there could be so much charcoal and black debris when the general's tent was empty just now. Zhan Chengyin walked out of the broken tent with a vase in his hand. He saw the cinders all over the ground, squatted down, and pinched the coal in his hand. According to the video, coal can burn for a long time, and coal balls made of it can burn for two hours. It is hotter than wood and lasts longer! This coal is a good fuel for forging weapons and is more durable than charcoal. Unfortunately, there is no iron stone or bronze ore here, so it cannot be cast into weapons. The next second when he thought of it, countless steel pipes, rustling... fell from the sky! The steel pipes were thick, as big as a child's wrist, and were cut into strips that fell neatly in front of him, forming a high wall!
The number of steel pipes is so exaggerated that it is even more spectacular than the vegetables that fell all over the yard yesterday!
Is this fine iron?
Or fine steel?
In the entire Great Qi Kingdom, bronze objects are rampant, and even coins are made of bronze.
Iron is a rare thing, and steel is more valuable than gold.
The soldiers who heard the noise ran out and saw the steel pipes neatly placed in piles.
They were shocked!
Lin Dajun walked forward with his eyes wide open, reached out to touch the cold steel pipe...
and then knocked it with his hand.
It's steel!
Then he took out the long sword made of fine iron in his hand and slashed at the steel pipe fiercely.
Bang...
The sword touched the steel pipe, and after a series of sparks burst out~
Click...
His sword broke.
The sword given by the court to General Lin Dajun was shattered just like that.
And there was only a shallow scar left on the steel pipe!
Chen Wu, Chen Kui, Mao Yangbo, Song Duo, Wu Sanlang, Bian Ziping, Li Yuanzhong... looked at the thick steel and were ecstatic.
Some of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.
They shouted: "Fine steel... Steel that is harder than iron!"
Some secretly wiped their tears with their sleeves.
With fine steel, they can forge weapons for the soldiers.
There are too many broken bows and arrows in the warehouse. Because there is no fine iron to make arrowheads, they are all gathering dust in the warehouse.
Those soldiers who are still using bronze to make spear heads and halberds can all be replaced with fine iron.
Song Duo wiped his tears and walked forward to bow.
"General, this batch of fine steel is handed over to me. I have registered the list of blacksmiths in the city. With charcoal and this batch of steel, weapons can be made immediately!"
Zhan Chengyin said to him: "Go, organize more manpower, if there are not enough people, recruit from the people."
"Anyone who is hired will be given two kilograms of rice, one kilogram of flour, and two cabbages every month! And two meals are provided."
Hearing what the general said, Song Duo was overjoyed, "Thank you, general!"
With such a high reward, many people will definitely sign up!
Weapons can be forged faster!
Song Duo called the soldiers to transport all the coal away.
The other soldiers looked at Song Duo enviously as he pulled the car and transported all the steel away.

The cement and bricks ordered by Ye Mumu were delivered to the warehouse.
Yesterday, the boss of the rice shop made an order, and the remaining 1,800 bags of grain have all been delivered to the warehouse.
It's just that it's not good to put cement and rice together. Uncle Yang called Ye Mumu to ask, and Ye Mumu asked him to open the door of the second warehouse.
The first warehouse is used to store and stack supplies.
The second warehouse is used to store grain.
Uncle Yang was also wondering what Ye Mumu would do with so much cement and bricks.
He didn't ask much, and opened the second warehouse as Ye Mumu said, letting the boss of the rice shop drive the car in.
After Ye Mumu arrived at the warehouse, Uncle Yang looked at the time and it was lunchtime.
He said hello and went to eat.
The rice shop owner asked his employees to unload the goods.
When he saw Ye Mumu coming to the warehouse, he was curious about such a young buyer.
"Miss Ye, why are you buying so much food..."
"I donated it to charity for the flood in the south."
The rice shop owner learned about it and handed her his business card.
"If you still need it, you can call me. I can also transfer a few trucks of rice and flour."
Ye Mumu's eyes lit up and asked him, "How long will it take to transfer the goods?"
"Twenty thousand bags of rice, three days, I can transfer it from other places."
Twenty thousand bags of rice, that is, two hundred tons!
She answered readily, "Sure!"
"If Miss Ye donates to the flood-stricken areas, rafts and mineral water instant noodles and ham sausage self-heating hot pots are more suitable. I can also get these supplies."
Ye Mumu thought about it. She only raised supplies under the excuse of donations, but never donated them.
It would attract the attention of others.
Uncle Yang, who was helping to watch the warehouse, became suspicious.
She said, "Okay, you can help me transfer a few trucks to this warehouse... other supplies are also needed!"
"Then it's settled!"
After the rice and flour were unloaded, Ye Mumu paid the balance.
The rice shop owner was very happy and called Ye Mumu a straightforward person. He immediately contacted his friends to transfer supplies.
Ye Mumu looked at the 1,800 bags of rice and 400 bags of flour, which filled up most of the second warehouse!
After these supplies were delivered, Zhan Chengyin should no longer have to worry about food problems.
The neat arrangement of the warehouse alone showed that the quantity was very large.
She happily took out paper and pen and wrote, "1,800 rice, 500 bags of flour have arrived, bricks and cement have also arrived."
"I will deliver the rice and flour first, and you find a large warehouse to store them."
After Ye Mumu put the paper over, she waited for about ten minutes, pulled up the shutter door, and stood the vase in the middle.
Wow...
All the rice and flour were delivered.
The amount of supplies delivered today was larger than yesterday, and she was already exhausted and panting.
After resting for a while against the wall,
she wrote another note to Zhan Chengyin.
"Find a bigger warehouse, and the bricks and cement will be delivered there!"
After waiting for about ten minutes, the other party wrote a good word.
Ye Mumu moved the cement and bricks from the first warehouse into the mouth of the vase.
She was exhausted after moving the cement and bricks from the warehouse.
Sitting on the office chair, she drank a bottle of mineral water.
Looking at the time, Uncle Yang had been gone for another half an hour. He had the habit of taking a nap, and he might be taking a nap now.
Ye Mumu called the advertising company and asked for two custom banners.
"Donation of Materials to Flood-stricken Areas"
One was placed at the door of the warehouse, and the other was hung on the truck.
She went to the second-hand market to rent a large truck, placed it at the door of the warehouse, and hung the banner...
She did the whole show. Although the warehouse was in a remote location,
there were people living nearby. Seeing a truck carrying goods every day but not shipping them out would arouse suspicion.
The annoying thing was that she only had a C license now and no large truck license!
