Among the 30,000 troops, 5,000 are cavalry. If they are not well trained, these 5,000 cavalry will be wasted.

Likewise, Ye Xuan didn't hesitate and started building the blast furnace to make iron and steel.

To this end, he also recruited a large number of craftsmen.

Of course, such recruitment is compulsory. Once these blacksmiths come, it is basically difficult to leave.

These things Ye Xuan refined need to be kept secret.

However, Ye Xuan will not let them work in vain, and will still give them generous money.

Because of this, although these craftsmen were dissatisfied, they did not resist.

Then, under Ye Xuan's guidance, they began to make iron.

There is iron at this time, but the quality of the iron is very poor, and it can even be said to break when touched.

Therefore, no one paid attention to iron at all during this period.

However, the iron Ye Xuan had people smelt was completely different from the iron he had now.

Its texture is harder, more ductile and malleable, and not weaker than copper at all.

More importantly, copper was the currency at this time, but iron was not.

This also means that it is much cheaper to make an iron sword than to make a copper sword.

When the craftsmen saw the smelted iron, their eyes were filled with wonder.

As people who deal with the forging industry, they understand very well what the appearance of iron represents.

"This is, what is this??"

"iron!!"

"Iron? How could it be iron? How could iron be so hard? Moreover, it is impossible for iron to withstand the forging we do.!!"

"You don’t need to know this. What you have to do is to forge what I want according to my requirements.!!"

After speaking, Ye Xuan took out the blueprints for the three-piece cavalry suit.

This drawing was given to him by the system, but he never took it out before.

When the craftsmen saw such drawings, although they knew how to make it, they still didn't know what the three-piece cavalry suit did.

Because of this, when Ye Xuan asked them to build it, they started building it without any worries.

Here they are starting to build a three-piece cavalry suit, while Ye Xuan is on the other side, starting to make steel.

He wanted to build a new military armor that trapped the camp, and only steel could meet his requirements.

Because steel is hard enough, even if it is hit by a copper sword or scratched by a Chang Ge, nothing will happen to the steel armor.

Even in terms of hardness, he is even harder than the armor issued by the system to the soldiers trapped in the camp.

However, although he has mastered the art of steel-making, he still has a lot of trouble in refining steel.

It was not until three days later that Ye Xuan refined his first piece of steel. The appearance of steel shocked the craftsmen even more.

They discovered that their copper hammers were broken when hammering steel. As soon as this happened, the craftsmen were full of curiosity about steel.

"What on earth is this? The texture is so hard.!!"

"Is this going to be used to make military armor? Using such a hard metal to make military armor, who can break through this defense?!!"

"The existence of this thing is simply beyond imagination! If it is used on the battlefield, it will be a disaster for those who are enemies of it.!!"

None of these craftsmen had ever seen steel, and because of this, they were all shocked by how hard it was.

Especially after they knew that the steel was going to be used to make military armor, many of them were so shocked that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

In their estimation, they felt that armor made from this thing would be indestructible.

And if you use it to make weapons, they are even more indestructible.

Therefore, these craftsmen have an impulse in their hearts, and they want to publicize the existence of steel.

After all, at this time, many of them still have their hearts set on Zhao.

However, they are now under Ye Xuan's control, and even if they want to spread the news, there is no way.

They could only follow Ye Xuan's requirements and continue to forge steel blocks and make military armor.

While Ye Xuan is working hard to make military armor here, the Yan army is also worried.

They clearly had such a huge advantage before, but they failed to capture Yanmen Pass. Now if they want to capture Yanmen Pass, it must be extremely difficult!

Therefore, the soldiers of Yan State are worried.

"No matter it is Ye Xuan of Qin State or his soldiers, they are very difficult to deal with. Our soldiers cannot break through their army formation at all.!!"

"Indeed, their military formation is too terrifying. Not only are the hundreds of soldiers powerful in combat, but the armor on their bodies is extremely hard. Even our cavalry cannot break them away.!!"

"Their existence is like a stubborn stone, blocking us. If we don't remove this stubborn stone, we may not be able to take Yanmen Pass.!!"

The gates of Yanmen Pass were opened to them, but under such circumstances, they still failed to capture Yanmen Pass.

This thing can be said to be very outrageous.

If these Yan soldiers had not experienced it personally, they would not believe that such outrageous things would happen on the battlefield.

Because of this, they had a full understanding of the strength of Ye Xuan and the soldiers in the trapped camp.

They understood that using conventional means, it would be difficult to defeat Ye Xuan and defeat the soldiers of the 800 trapped camp.

Therefore, they thought of another way of attack. That is to use chariots to attack!!

Now because of the increase in cavalry, the use of chariots has gradually decreased. After all, compared to chariots, cavalry are more flexible and can adapt to various terrains.

Chariots, on the other hand, are relatively bulky. If one of them is not good, it may even overturn.

Therefore, the use of chariots is also slowly decreasing. But it has to be said that chariots also have an advantage that cavalry cannot match.

That is, when the chariots charge, they are so powerful that even a solid city gate is likely to be blown away by the charge of several chariots.

Therefore, they are thinking that the cavalry may not be able to break through the military formations trapped in the camp, but this does not mean that their tanks cannot.

Thinking of this, Prince Dan couldn't hold himself back any longer.

"How many tanks do we have now???"

"This time we did not mobilize many chariots, only fifty!!"

"If it's not enough, I will send another 150 chariots to His Highness. I will use the chariot to directly open the gate of Yanmenguan.!!"

"Regardless of whether he is a coffin-carrying man from the Qin State or an indestructible military formation, His Highness will crush them all under my chariot.!!"

Thinking of a way to break through Yanmen Pass, Yan Taizi Dan became energetic again.

After the Yan soldiers looked at each other, they agreed with this combat method.
