During the city defense, the general's leg armor was badly damaged.
But the army had long run out of repair materials.
Every household inside and outside the town contributed scrap metal piece by piece.
Craftsmen melted down all they had—still not enough.
Finally, they used newly minted copper coins to fill the gaps.
The general touched the coins inscribed "Jianzhong" and praised the repair.
Wearing this coin-patched leg armor was like carrying the people on his back—
it gave him even more strength to fight!
