Such formidable defensive attributes truly caught Lin Yi's eye.
We'll be taking action against the Northern Barbarians soon. If we can produce a large quantity of cold-forged armor, it will be an absolute weapon of mass destruction. Even crossbows can't penetrate it, and the Northern Barbarians will probably be completely stunned.
However, its forging was quite complicated, as it was actually done at room temperature, which posed a huge challenge to both the iron and the craftsmen.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi sent someone to notify Ma Jun and the others to come over. This kind of thing still needs to be handled by professionals to achieve twice the result with half the effort. His own expertise was not relevant, so he decided to pass.
With a thought, he summoned Xu Chu.
Xu Chu greets his lord!
The Xu Chu appeared, the entire atmosphere changed dramatically, leaving Lin Yi in awe.
What a Great Han!
With his thick waist and broad shoulders, he's a true muscle-bound man. Putting aside his fighting prowess, his defensive abilities are absolutely terrifying; he could fight Lü Bu one-on-one for dozens of rounds.
In popular parlance, he was also known as "the Three Kingdoms Fifty-Fifty ".
He fought to a draw with Dian Wei, Cao Cao's most formidable warrior.
He also fought Zhao Yun once, and they fought for dozens of rounds before ending in a draw.
These are all incredibly strong men, not to mention that he fought Xu Huang to a draw, thus earning him the title of "Three Kingdoms Fifty-Fifty.
The subtext is: I have high defense and high health, do whatever you want!
His loyalty is beyond question. When Cao Cao died, Xu Chu was so heartbroken that he vomited blood. He was a man of deep feelings. Such a bodyguard is very reliable.
Lin Yi was quite fond of such a straightforward person and said with a smile, " Zhongkang, from now on you will be the commander of my personal guards. With you here, I have nothing to fear, not even someone like Lü Bu!"
"Rest assured, my lord, as long as I Xu Chu, am still here, no one can harm you!" Xu Chu patted his chest and said solemnly.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, thinking of the matter of asking Jia Xu to prepare the Modao Battalion. Perhaps Xu Chu could be put in charge. With his martial prowess, wielding the Mo Dao would be like adding wings to a tiger!
At this moment, Ma Jun and the others also arrived!
"Greetings, my lord!"
Seeing their arrival, Lin Yi nodded, took out information on the cold-forged armor from his pocket, and said in a deep voice, " Deheng, take a look and see if this can be improved. It is said that this cold-forged armor can withstand powerful crossbow bolts. If our army wears it, we will be invincible!"
"What? It can withstand a powerful crossbow bolt?"
Before Ma Jun could speak, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao couldn't help but step forward, exclaiming that this was absolutely a divine artifact.
The crossbow is incredibly powerful; ordinary armor cannot withstand it.
This so-called cold-forged armor was so powerful that they were all dumbfounded.
Lin Yi glanced at them but didn't reprimand them for their rudeness, and smiled, "The cold-forged armor is extraordinary; it can deflect powerful crossbows. It's truly remarkable."
At this moment, Ma Jun also watched for a while and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "It can even be cold-forged! I've never tested this before. I never expected it to have such profound mysteries. It seems that habits can be deadly."
" Deheng, try to mass-produce it. If you can improve and enhance it, that would be even better," Lin Yi said solemnly.
This thing is so powerful that if your soldiers wear it, their defense will be maxed out, which will definitely reduce a lot of losses.
Ma Jun nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll take a look when I get back. I just happened to be researching that Mo Dao last time, so let's see if we can strengthen it using cold forging technology."
He had forged the Mo Dao last time, but due to the quality of the iron ore, it couldn't separate men and horses; it could only sever human heads, but not warhorses.
With this cold-forged armor, by analogy, perhaps new progress can be made.
"I don't know anything about this either, so I'll leave it to you to handle. I'll have Wenruo send someone to assist you," Lin Yi said with a smile.
Zhang Liao and the others were even more enthusiastic, staring at the retainer with burning eyes, and said excitedly, "You've worked hard, Retainer! I'll hunt a stag for you another day to help you recover; make sure you get plenty!"
"Haha, serving my lord is simply my duty," Ma Jun said, both amused and exasperated.
Huh!
At this moment, Xun Yu noticed something. He looked at Xu Chu beside Lin Yi and asked curiously, "My lord, who is this incredibly strong and powerful man?"
"Haha, this is Xu Chu, the newly recruited commander of my personal guards. From now on, he will be my bodyguard." Lin Yi called Xu Chu over and said with a smile.
Because of the system, they didn't know each other, and naturally they didn't know Xu Chu either.
Otherwise, they are colleagues.
"What a valiant general!"
Looking at the burly Xu Chu, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh. This man must be incredibly strong; one punch from him could probably kill several people.
Gao Shun was filled with envy; that physique was simply invincible.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes at the two of them, then explained how he had set up the Grand Commandery of the Western Regions and greeted them.
Now that the issues in the Western Regions and Sea Liang Island have been largely stabilized, all that remains is to develop the Northern Barbarians and then wait for next year, so there's no need to stay here.
" The Grand Commandery of the Western Regions?"
Upon hearing this name, Xun Yu was taken aback and was shocked by his lord's grand ambition. It seemed that the Grand Commandery of the Western Regions was preparing to encompass the entire Western Regions.
As a result, the Grand Governor's Mansion will be larger than ever before.
"Hmph, they're smart enough to know their place. They're just tiny countries, barely the size of a palm. If they dared to dream of anything, we'd wipe them out in a heartbeat!" Zhang Liao sneered. These tiny countries were even less impressive than Xiliang Commandery.
With the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at their disposal, conquering the six kingdoms of the Western Regions would be much easier than for others.
The Western Regions had few fortified cities, making them a paradise for cavalry!
Gongsun Zan, his voice also brimming with murderous intent, said, "Our lord is too merciful. In my opinion, we should just send them away. Letting them continue as governors is just causing trouble. It would be better to kill them outright!"
Forehead!
Seeing their murderous aura, Lin Yi couldn't help but twitch his lips. In front of these guys, even a small country like his was treated like dirt.
He waved his hand and laughed, "The matter in the Western Regions is temporarily settled. With Pang De in Western Regions and Jia Xu also keeping an eye on Western Regions, there shouldn't be any problems. Also, I have some good news to share with you!"
"Is there more good news?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. So this is double happiness! It seems there have been quite a few joyous events lately!
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said meaningfully, "I have received the latest news that Guan Yu, the pirate from Sea Liang Island, defeated 6,000 men of the Great Ning Navy, killed Zhan Shunyu, the commander of the Great Ning Navy, and captured more than 300 fishing boats."
Such a grand event, don't you think that's good news?
