Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 160 Armed
That night!As the weather got later, the hot weather that could have killed people during the day gradually became close to zero.

Then, a strong wind blew up, and a large amount of sand hit the head and face with the night wind, and it hurt the face for a while, so that the night watchmen worked very hard.

There is also the military rations carried by the team, which are some millet and pickled vegetables, which are really hard to swallow in the mouths of many modern people.

Apart from the above, everything went very smoothly.

In the early morning of the next day, Fengrui, the team's training staff, even ignored the rookies. Most of them still needed to spread their legs even to walk because of the freshly scabbed wounds.

They were still forcibly gathered together for an hour of training.

Half an hour of the time was used to practice formation for them, so as to lay a good foundation for future battle training.

For the remaining half an hour, weapons and equipment were distributed to the rookies.

Last night, Langqing made a complete statistics on the materials, equipment, etc. that its personnel successfully brought over.

Overall, things are pretty good.

Among the materials brought by Hu Biao and other veterans, there were only all the explosive kits, bird guns, and basic raw materials for configuring gunpowder, all of which were pulled down by the grandson of the system.

Other armor, weapons, etc.

Because of the strict attention to materials, there is hardly any loss.

Medicines, food, etc., only a few containing a large number of chemical components are removed by the system, and the others can be said to have basically no impact.

In this way, with their full preparations before the start of the mission, they can naturally provide a lot of rookies with relatively sufficient equipment.

Among them, in terms of weapons, each has a spear or a large wooden stick.

What needs to be explained here is that it is not because Hu Biao and the others brought insufficient guns, so that some people can only use wooden sticks.

It was Hu Biao and the others who made some modifications to some sticks and deliberately equipped them.

Specifically, a sharp dagger was clamped in the middle of one end of the stick, turning it into a stick that could not only stab but also smash.

This thing actually had a wide range of equipment in the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty.

Mainly facing the Tartars with heavy armor, it is often better to replace it with this kind of big stick when using knives and guns cannot cause effective damage.

Because a big stick greeted the past, at least it could inflict a serious internal injury on the heavily armored Tartar.

Even use a guy to go directly and smash their heads.

In addition to spears and knife-clamping sticks, each rookie was also assigned a dagger; most of them were assigned a one-handed crossbow, and a small number of people who could shoot arrows were assigned a bow.

For configurations such as sword and shield hands, since there are several veterans, they are not needed for the time being; secondary weapons such as swords are not prepared for them.

In terms of armor, all the rookies have a piece of armor that has shrunk.

The reason for saying this is that the armor plate used in this armor is only 0.6 mm thick; and there is only one piece in front of the body, and there is no back at all.

It can be regarded as tied up with ropes and fastened to the body, which can only protect the chest and abdomen.

no way!A set of serious, well-protected and perfect armor, weighing no less than 50 catties.

If there are 18 rookies in total, if one person helps them bring a set, it will weigh nearly half a ton.

Hu Biao and the others originally carried so many things on their own. If there is such an extra burden, do you believe it will be able to squeeze shit out of them?

Fortunately, such a severely shrunk armor, although only a little over 12 catties in weight.

However, Hu Biao and the others have experimented. As long as they are facing the enemy head-on, they are actually quite good in terms of defense. At least a six-bow bow cannot be directly shot through at a distance of 30 meters.

It is basically impossible to cut it with a knife.

Matched with this shrinking armor, there is also a 1.4 kg flying saucer helmet; this thing is also made of stainless steel, with a leather lining inside, and its protection is quite good.

So, this time, these rookies are even better equipped than many veterans in Hu Biao's last mission in Huangtubao.

After all, last time, they didn't know the system's routine, and many of the equipment they carried were pulled down by the system.

In addition, almost every old bird this time is armed to the extent of a chrysanthemum.

So in this mission, with all kinds of careful preparations, I believe that Hu Biao and the others will definitely be able to display stronger combat effectiveness.

It's a pity that some rookies are still dissatisfied with such good equipment.

That was the mixed-breed ocean horse of War Elephant, which was different from the excitement on the face of others when they put on the new equipment and put it on.

Not only was this girl holding an old snake to provide her with an 80-pound bow, she felt that compared with her ancestral English longbow, it was a little less interesting in all aspects.

More importantly, after the other rookies tied the shrunken armor to their bodies, they could protect their whole bodies no matter what.

her?I feel like I'm wearing a bellyband...

******
On the second day after arriving in the mission world, Hu Biao and others officially entered the desert at around 11 am.

This vast desert was called the Taklimakan Desert in later generations; fortunately, they didn't have to pass through it at the maximum distance, and they should pass obliquely at the edge.

After arriving here, the main envoys of the mission, Guo Xun and Guo Zong, also had to get out of his carriage. After temporarily abandoning the carriage, they rode forward instead.

Because from this moment on, their journey has become more and more difficult.

But even during the march in the desert, Fengrui, a training staff officer, still didn't relax his training for the rookies; every morning and evening, he had to toss them for a while before letting go.

Anyway, let them have no breathing time at all except for sleeping; the purpose is to let all the rookies practice in the shortest time, not to mention how powerful they can practice.

More or less, after encountering a battle, you must have a little bit of self-protection power

Because these veterans, according to the mission requirements of the first stage of the system, they can guess that a battle must be prepared for them along the way.

If you don't improve the combat effectiveness of the rookies as soon as possible, you are actually harming them.

Not to mention, in the following two or three days of training, Fengrui still gained quite a surprise; not only the rookies, but gradually became a little bit better.

Because there is also the mixed-breed ocean horse of War Elephant, in addition to being a bit rebellious in his attitude, he obeys the orders issued quite well.

And in terms of physical fitness and combat literacy, they are quite good.

In addition, Er Fatty, although he is a bit stronger than ordinary rookies, but compared with war elephants, there is really some gap.

After eating a little breakfast that day, everyone continued to set off again.

According to the words of the guide Ma San, if the current speed is used, it will take at most one day to walk out of this big desert.

Next, it will take about two days to come to a rather large Gobi Desert.

Then, on the subsequent journey, everything will be fine, and everyone can see a big lake; for the rest of the journey, just go all the way along the big lake.

Don't worry about the water source, there are still a lot of big fish in the lake.

After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao and others naturally knew that the lake was the legendary Lop Nur based on their historical knowledge.

Thinking of the modern plane after thousands of years, such a large lake has completely disappeared and become a famous place of death.

Whether it should be said or not, Hu Biao and the others really want to go over and take a good look at what it looks like before it dries up...

In the time that followed, Hu Biao and the others knew what the sea of ​​death was.

Because after they entered the desert, there was no way at all along the way, but don't worry too much, you will get lost in the process.

The reason is simple, because after a certain distance, there are some undecayed corpses of camels, war horses, and even pedestrians.

There is no decay, that is, before they rot, the strong wind has dried all their moisture, leaving only some dry skin and flesh hanging on the white bones.

And these corpses spread forward all the way, as if pointing to a signpost.

These are the prices that the caravans have paid over the years since the Silk Road was opened.

really!No matter whether the silk from Dahan was brought to Daqin, or brought from Daqin, they could get hundreds of times astonishing profits.

But the degree of hardship involved is unimaginable.
