"Master, I did know something about it on the grassland before."

"There are very few iron ores in the grassland areas, and iron tools are even more precious."

"Even some exchanges and caravans are difficult to obtain."

"So they will use stone hammers and stone axes, especially stone hammers, which are large and heavy. When charging on horseback, they are no less powerful than swords and guns."

Hu Dugu said to Zhang Bao.

"Stone hammer?"

"It's not impossible!"

"Use a thick wooden stick as a handle. After drilling holes, fix it with a rope. It can also be used!"

Zhang Bao nodded.

He and Hu Dugu went up the mountain to cut rocks and made a rough sledgehammer.

It's not as smooth as an ordinary copper hammer, it's still angular.

This kind of attack power is much greater.

The two of them were overjoyed.

Immediately let the people in the two teams get equipped.

Sticks and boulders are easy to get by relying on the mountains behind.

However, the weight of this stone hammer is much heavier than the weight of the wooden knife.

in particular.

People from two teams were making stone hammers.

It's also getting better.

The tenants of the Zhang family used stones as big as their heads.

The Li family must use something bigger than them!

Looking at the tenants of the Zhang family, how can they lag behind?

Find again!

In this way, no one in the entire brigade had a stone hammer weighing less than fifty kilograms.

This is still restricted by the strength of the wooden stick.

If the wooden sticks were strong enough, it is estimated that these two teams could each lift a stone hammer weighing several hundred kilograms.

But when they were making stone hammers, it was fun to compete.

But when I came back for training, I was dumbfounded.

The original time.

It's basically not difficult to swing a wooden sword two thousand times a day.

Now suddenly it is replaced by a stone hammer.

Not to mention two thousand times, even two hundred times may not be able to hold on.

But the teams on both sides.

No one was willing to be the first to propose reducing the quantity.

They are all trying their best to hold on.

The result was that night.

Until late at night.

The arms of the men and horses on both sides are almost useless, and they have only done more than 500.

If Zhang Bao hadn't forcefully disbanded, it is estimated that these two teams could have practiced until the second day.

before.

Zhang Bao is still a little worried that these people's bodies can't bear it.

After all, they were in the army before.

Although the training of the troops is very difficult, every training is planned very scientifically.

For example, take the common five-kilometer cross-country trip with load.

This is a "safety value" determined after years of research.

Individual soldiers carry out a rapid march while carrying a load of 20-30 kilograms.

Training of about five kilometers is most suitable.

If it exceeds five kilometers, the soldiers will be physically exhausted.

In severe cases, syncope may occur, causing irreversible damage to the soldier's body.

If it is less than five kilometers, the training intensity is not enough.

But the current situation has far exceeded the reasonable training standards arranged by Zhang Bao before.

But the two teams looked like they were risking their lives.

Physical fitness is also really good!

Actually before.

When they were working in the fields, their physical exertion at that time was no worse than now!

At that time.

Almost every day I worked until I was exhausted, but I still had to get up and work the next day.

Being tired now is nothing!

Zhang Bao saw the end and found that these people were almost dead from exhaustion on the first day.

After eating and drinking enough that day and getting some sleep, you will be full of energy and energy the next day.

This is a long-term labor that develops recovery habits for their bodies.

Naturally, Zhang Bao cannot compare.

Zhang Bao stopped interfering.

But in terms of rationing food and salt, we need to take more care of the people in these two teams.

According to Zhang Bao's estimation, if the people in these two teams are really good at it, they won't need any advanced martial arts skills.

Just relying on this brute strength and endurance, he is also a very powerful fighting force.

…

County capital.

Inside the Yamen.

The county magistrate was setting up a large table for a celebration banquet.

Chicken, duck, fish and goose, there is no shortage of everything!

"This... on behalf of our fellow villagers in Sanhe County, I would like to offer a toast to the Governor!"

"The governor just tried his best, and let the bandits fall into the trap, killing most of them."

"It is truly a blessing to the people of Sanhe County!"

The county magistrate toasted with a flattering look.

"This is too much in the year of great calamity!"

"I heard that many people in Sanhe County have already run out of food."

"It's really unjustifiable for a county magistrate like you to be extravagant and wasteful here, isn't it?"

The governor did not pick up the wine glass, but pointed at the dishes on the table and said coldly.

The county magistrate looked embarrassed.

"this……"

"Yes yes yes!"

"Your subordinates must fulfill their duties!"

"Immediately arrange to open a warehouse to store grain. Before, it was just because of the rampant bandits. Even if we gave food to the people, it was all looted by bandits in the end."

"But it's fine now!"

"The governor is here!"

"The people of Sanhe County will be saved!"

The county magistrate stood with an embarrassed look on his face and turned to flatter him.
