The intense and tiring training went on day by day. When the soldiers were familiar with the training process, Ye Tian relaxed. Now that he had taught them what they needed to know, it was time to forge their weapons.
Ye Tian decided to equip his team with broadswords. He went to the workshop and ordered his men to purchase black gold, hoping to use it to forge a batch of black gold sabers and self-made crossbows.
Black gold was not a good material for crafting weapons because the melting point of this metal was very high. It was very difficult to melt it completely. Not only did it take time and effort, but the weapons forged were also abnormally heavy. Ordinary soldiers would not be able to use it at all.
There were three reasons why Ye Tian wanted to use this metal to forge weapons:
Firstly, if he were to forge a weapon himself, it would not be difficult for him to melt the black gold. His True Force could completely heat up the melting of the metal.
Secondly, weapons made of black gold were very hard. They did not have to worry about the blade becoming blunt after a long battle.
Third, the Direwolf soldiers he led all had internal energy, so it wasn't difficult for them to fight with weapons that weighed 70 to 80 pounds.
Ye Tian did as he was told, personally burning the metal while the experienced craftsmen forged the metal.
In addition, whenever he had free time, Ye Tian would start drawing blueprints and work with the craftsmen to develop a new crossbow, using the same black gold material.
Guo Jia, Tao Qian, and the others patrolled the workshop every day, witnessing one weapon after another being forged, their admiration for Ye Tian growing.
Two months later, the thousand black gold sabers and the new crossbow were finally completed.
The shiny black saber in his hand was filled with a cold texture. The mighty and domineering saber was thick and ancient, and the blade gleamed with a cold light. It was extremely sharp. The soldiers were excited to get such a treasured saber. Although they had not tested the power of the small and simple crossbow bolts, they could not be too bad.
The dark gold saber weighed seventy to eighty pounds, and although the bow was light, it still weighed twenty to thirty pounds. If one did not have enough physical strength, they would not be able to carry these things that weighed more than a hundred pounds.
Looking at the excited soldiers, Ye Tian coldly said,""The things in your hands now are weapons related to your lives in the future. Even if you sleep, you have to hug them. If anyone loses their weapons, they can never come back.”
Only Ye Tian knew how hard it had been to forge these weapons. He had worked day and night in the workshop for two months before he had succeeded, and it was easy to imagine how difficult it had been. Every time his True Qi ran out, the feeling of exhaustion was unbearable.
However, after two months of hard work, it wasn't like he didn't have any benefits. After exhausting his True Qi every day, his True Qi would become purer and the liquid ball in his dantian would become denser. Obviously, constantly exhausting his True Qi was also helpful to him.
"I understand!" The soldiers replied in unison. They would definitely take good care of such a good weapon. They placed their hands on the blade and crossbow, as if they were stroking their women's skin.
"Now, let me demonstrate how to use these bows.”Ye Tian had personally crafted the crossbow, and it was made of black gold, so it was a little heavy and ordinary people couldn't lift it. He explained the usage of the bow to the soldiers in detail. Then, he held the bow in one hand and aimed it at a big tree 300 steps away through the crosshair.”The short arrow flew out of the barrel.
The soldiers held their breaths. They only saw a faint shadow flash past, and then they heard a distant "Slash!"”Three hundred steps away, the broken arrow had already pierced deep into the tree trunk, leaving only a small section trembling outside.
All the soldiers gaped in disbelief.
A soldier stared blankly at the bow in his hand and pinched his thigh hard. He felt nothing and muttered in disappointment,"It doesn't hurt at all. I was dreaming. I knew it, how could there be such a powerful weapon?”
"What? Sorry brother, I made a mistake, hehe "
The soldier was speechless.
.....................
Ye Tian cleared his throat as he looked at the stunned soldiers, coughing twice before continuing,""You can't casually use this kind of crossbow. After all, each person only has ten short arrows. When you use broken arrows, you must hold the crossbow with both hands. This kind of crossbow is very powerful, but the rebound force is not small either. Remember, when you clean up the battlefield, you must retrieve these short arrows. They are very precious, hard, and can be used repeatedly, understand?”
"Understood!" The soldiers shouted.
Ye Tian nodded.
After giving instructions, the training began again. In the morning, they would run cross-country and practice martial arts. In the afternoon, they would rest for two hours. In the afternoon, they would practice shooting crossbows. Although the crossbow was only 20 to 30 pounds, the force of the arrow was very strong. The recoil was not something that ordinary people could withstand. The effective range of this weapon was 500 steps, about 600 meters. It would definitely be able to seize the initiative in a siege battle.
Another month passed, and winter arrived. Pure white snowflakes fluttered, covering the world in an instant. This was a pure world.
Ye Tian stared at the snowflakes dancing in the sky like fairies and fell silent. He hadn't returned home for a long time, and he wondered if his beautiful mother missed him.
It was almost the new year. Looking at the snowflakes, the soldiers stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the sky. In this short period of time, they recalled the past, allowing the warm and happy light and shadow to appear in front of their eyes.
Ye Tian sighed lightly and slowly rose to his feet, smiling.""It's almost the new year. I'm afraid your relatives at home are all looking at you now. Stop daydreaming. It's a holiday now. We'll rest for seven days in a row. Everyone, relax. Let's compete and see who can run home first!”
Before the soldiers could react, their instructor had already disappeared.
"Cockroach, what did the instructor say just now?”
"I think it's a holiday!"
"It's a holiday! F * ck! Let's go home!"
"What are you waiting for? The instructor ran away! Hurry up and chase!"
He picked up his broadsword and his bow. Without a word, he started to run in the direction of Peng City.
The distance from the training ground to Peng City wasn't very far. It was only about 20 to 30 miles. With everyone running at full speed, they would probably arrive in about an hour.
