Chapter 333: Xuanjin
ed."In the past, we would have had to risk a frontal assault, but now there's no need. I've found a way. Pipa Girl can recover over time, so we just need to wait a few years and then repeatedly strike...Time is of the essence, the army will soon be on the move, so perfection is not required.
Lu Cheng was already well-versed in creating such formulas.
As the saying goes, genuine gold is not afraid of fire refining, but turquoise can indeed be fired with yin fire.... And Xuan iron can be fired with yang fire at high temperatures.
【Cinnabar】 【Black Iron】 【Yin Fire】 【Forge】 are able to synthesize a material called 【Mysterious Gold】.
The materials are good, now we just need the blueprint.
Gongshu Ban and Lu Cheng were the first to design the [Mysterious Golden Armor] and [Mysterious Golden Horse Armor].
“We create a type of mechanized armor. If the ‘Yin-Yang Primordial Golden Pill’ is placed on the back of this armor, it will power the entire suit. Then, the left arm of this armor can deploy a spiritual energy shield, a flying spear mechanism crossbow, and even enable flight. The joints are all assisted by mechanisms, and it can also provide a significant boost to the cavalry's horse.” Gongsun Ban pointed at the blueprint and said.
"Uncle, the giant 【Mechanism Golden Pill】 in the clouds, the two of us spent ten days meticulously crafting it and mobilizing so many people. How long would it take to stabilize one small 【Primal Mechanism Golden Pill】"
"Six months" Gongsun Ban was also uncertain. After all, the smaller it gets, the harder it is, and even more so when it needs to be stable. The Cloud Dragon from the Sky Machine Division ultimately ended with a golden core explosion and disintegration. Dressing warriors in... that's not an option."
"That's right, I'm fighting up there! I would have turned to ashes long ago!" Lu Cheng said helplessly.
"What if there was a real war"
"Really!" Lu sighed. "We can only make unpowered mechanized armor. The left arm folds into a shield, the right arm is a standard mechanical crossbow, the front of the breastplate has an extending Xuanjin lance, and there are retractable blades..."
"This is too low-end!" Gongshu Ban scoffed.
"There's no other way, we have to march quickly. Without tanks, we can't afford any more casualties. This thing is crucial; we need to produce 50 units within three days and give them to General Huo as the vanguard."
If this thing could be equipped by troops, then the armor rating of the 【Feather Guard Cavalry】 would at least rise one level, and their charge power would also be greatly enhanced, making them formidable like tanks.
With our own workshop and the public granary's capacity, 50 sets could be completed within three days.

Besides equipment, rations are also essential, and the dry food will run out tomorrow.
But there's no need to worry about that, because there's a caring big sister who has been cooking for tens of thousands of years. As long as you give her the ingredients, she can always cook something delicious.
The five-headed Silver Moon Dragons, useful parts like the Moon Dragon Bones and Moonlight Elements were kept by Lu Cheng, while the other parts could be fully cooked into delicious supplies.
After being rolled in the boiling, delicious Meng Po soup base, silver dragon meat is taken out and seasoned, then heated to remove excess water.
One piece of 【Silver Dragon Meat Jerky】 has been made.
The process is simple, but the effect is very good.
You can supplement a lot of energy.
Body cultivation transforms one's essence energy into physical strength, forging and refining primordial energy.
And Lu Cheng's cultivation of refining Qi and forging spiritual energy also progressed smoothly.
This isn't over yet, Desert Wind Wine = Northern Wasteland Fine Wine.
The
Wind of the Desert
only has 3,000 copies and can still be used to refine Yin-Yang Pills and Thunder. Although precious, Lu Cheng is not stingy with it.
Because...
The current policy card 【Taxation, Wine and Liquor Regulations】 is in effect, military 【Alcohol】 card values are increased by 300%!
Emperor Wu of Han did not forbid alcohol, but to boost the economy and maintain the ever-increasing military expenditure, he implemented the "quejiu" system, which meant that alcoholic beverages were officially monopolized, and later, heavy taxes were imposed on them.
This has led to these types of cards being very rare.
Lu Cheng could also provide other delicacies, but regarding supplies, Lu Cheng sought Huo Qubing's opinion.
Huo Qubing's methods of warfare differed greatly from others. He was extremely concerned with using war to sustain war, even resorting to consuming the enemy.
Fine wine, delicious food, and equipment all come from the giant beasts of the enemy. This creates an idea that as long as you kill your enemies, hunt down prey among their ranks, you can feast and enjoy the good life.... Naturally, the soldiers will fight bravely!
Lu Cheng deeply agreed. To loot the best spoils of war from the enemy and use them for himself was...
The more enemies you kill, the stronger you become, and the better your chances of survival. Soldiers, fight for yourselves!
This psychological state is completely different.
.......
.......
"General Lü, this is a good thing." Huo Qubing took a sample of the [Mysterious Gold Mechanism Horse Armor] and examined it for a long time.
"This is a sample, this thing, it can even equip the Imperial Guards as mechanized war machines." Lu Cheng said proudly. When it comes to marching and fighting, he's really no good, but when it comes to card-based combat, he's an absolute expert.
"This thing, the production capacity required is not ordinary at all, General Lü. Is there a piece.......well.......of space" Huo Qubing asked.
"Yes, I am not only General Qin, but also the Yin Marshal of the Underworld, in charge of Youtou Mountain and the Bei Ming near sea." Under such a desperate situation where he was surrounded on all sides, Lu Cheng had nothing more to hide.
Huo Qubing listened intently, a thoughtful expression on his face. After a while, he spoke.
Speaking of siege engines, last time I led my troops into the desert and raced against the Xiongnu. At night, to sleep better than the Xiongnu, I disassembled a full 28 [Wugang chariots] for the soldiers to use as bed frames.
Lu Cheng's eyes widened. This guy never plays by the rules....
You know, the Wu Gang chariot evolved from the Qin Dynasty's shield-archery chariot and became a unique war machine of the Han army.
Equipped with giant shields, spear formations, and heavy crossbows, they are exceptionally expensive.
But Lu Cheng was not to be outdone either. Being of similar age, one Qin and one Han, they couldn't afford to lose face!
"Then I'm stronger than you. Last time, for a female dragon, I destroyed ten warships..." Lu Cheng estimated: "That big kind!"
"General Lu, Brother Lu, before we talk about battleships, tell me about your Yuedushan. How is it"
"Alright!"
........
........
One day later.
"Report, two generals, we found a Hun supply train, detouring towards the Yinshan Mountains. Here's the map!"
A lightly armored cavalryman caught up with the main force on horseback and handed a sketch to Lu Cheng and Huo Qubing.
"Oh Wonderful!" Lu Cheng said, "We've got another deal. It is indeed strange that there was no supply line in the direction of Yinshan. So they were hiding here all along."
Lu Cheng glanced at the sketch. There were nearly a thousand carriages and horses, less than a day's distance from their own army. With a little strategy, they could retreat after a single blow, just like the attack on the Dagongshan mining area, which could bring in a huge profit.
Huo Qubing looked at the sketch: "Let's follow them from afar!"
The army moved quietly, slowly approaching the location reported by the scout. The supply train had already gone far away. Huo Qubing dismounted and began to inspect the scene.
"General Huo, shall we pursue them They're quite far ahead now." Lu Cheng's divine sense could no longer perceive any supply team at all.
Huo Qubing slowly shook his head: "There's no goods in this carriage."
"How do you know" Lu Cheng asked in surprise.
"General Lü, the supply caravan departing from here should be heading towards the Yanguan Pass, right" Huo Qubing pondered.
"You're right." Lu Cheng nodded.
"Lu brother, what do you think could be in the carriage" asked Huo Qubing.
