Late Tang

Chapter 39 1st Left Team 1st

Li Jing was amazed by the quantity and quality of the equipment brought out, and what surprised him even more was the complete range of equipment.Each has a melee spear, and each has a horizontal knife.This far broke Li Jing's impression that the united soldiers were just cannon fodder and gangsters.In particular, long-range weapons and longbows are equipped with a [-]% equipment rate. Each person has a bow, and each person is equipped with thirty arrows. The thirty arrows are divided into raw steel, armored, and long stacks. He is not very clear. Different arrows.

And the fifty sets of armor under his collar were beyond Li Jing's expectation.Fifty sets of armor were not leather armor but iron armor. Mingguang armor was already rare in the late Tang Dynasty.The armor issued in the warehouse is all made of scale armor made of armor pieces, which is shaped like a two-piece suit.The shawl and shoulder pads are combined into one piece; the breastplate and leggings are connected into another piece, tied back and forth with two shoulder straps, and put on the shawl and shoulder pads.Seeing these armors at first sight, Li Jing thought they were the armors of officers.In the end, he was told that although Sicang participated in the military and intended to give Li Jing some preferential treatment, the armor was actually only a little better than others. In fact, the imperial guards and the yamen and border towns in various towns now wear this armor. style.

This statement immediately changed Li Jing's previous view of the frailty of the late Tang Dynasty.The army of the Tang Dynasty is still well-equipped at this time. Just because of the 100% bow and arrow equipment rate and the general equipment of excellent iron armor in the army, we can know that the foundation of the Tang army is still there.

After receiving these weapons and armor, Li Jing thought that he had already received them all.Just as he was about to call his subordinates to bring their equipment back to the camp, unexpectedly that Sicang Shi stopped him again. "Brother, don't rush away, there are still a lot of things I haven't claimed!"

"and also?"

"Of course, there are more." Si Cang Shi said with a smile.

Then, Li Jing discovered that there were indeed still equipment missing, and there were a lot of them.

According to Sicang Shi's records, Li Jing then received a horse bowl from each person, all of which were made of high-quality wood or iron.A small knife, a small tweezer, pliers, a lock, a medicine bag, a salt bag, a flint bag, a knotting hammer, and a whetstone.A trouser slave, a forehead wipe, a six-belt belt, a hat, and a felt hat.

In addition, each person has a set of blankets, quilts, and felts, and three pairs of hemp shoes.

One set of woolen coats per person, and Li Jing and his team also have a set of leather suits for each person. This kind of thing smells bad because of the mediocre leather tanning process. According to Sicang Shi, this leather suit is specially used for surprise attacks .

Looking at the huge pile of various equipment piled up in front of him that he didn't even understand the purpose of, Li Jing thought in his heart that it should be finished by now.In fact, he was wrong again.

The equipment just distributed is only for individual soldiers, and then each group and each team will distribute some equipment.

Prepare six pack horses or donkeys for the fire, and each fire must have a black cloth curtain, an iron horse bowl, a cloth trough, a scorpion, a 16 Huan, 9 baths, 15 Zhen 8, tongs, saws, etc., two armor beds, two sickles; in addition, each team also has two You need to equip one piece of fire gun, one chest rope, three head restraints and three foot restraints;

For this huge pile of equipment, Li Jing can only recognize a small part of it.In the end, he had to humbly ask Si Cangshi for advice in embarrassment, and finally figured out the usefulness of these equipment.

Each group of ten people needs to prepare six horses. These six horses are mainly used for transportation, not for riding. These are the responsibility of the united soldiers. If the ten people are relatively poor, they cannot afford six horses and donkeys. It's okay, you can prepare six donkeys.

Donkey Li Jing is easy to understand, Guan Jian is still those weird things.First of all, it is an iron horse bowl. This thing is not a spittoon, nor is it used to feed horses. It is used for people to eat.The reason why it is called Mayu is because it is very big, it can hold a lot of rice, and it is also a tool for making a fire. You have to use it for eating and heating on the way. This thing is both a lunch box and a rice cooker.Then there is the tent, which is used for camping and sleeping.

Then there is the cloth trough, the manger made of cloth, which is for the horses to eat. To feed the horses during the march is to use the cloth trough to fill the forage beans and hang them around the horse's neck.Then there is the shovel, which is used for digging the soil. It is used for setting up camps, digging trenches, and digging pits. Then there is the pickaxe, which is used for digging the soil.Then there are chisels and pestles, which are specially used for pounding rice to remove the outer shell of millet.

In addition, you also need to bring a basket for things and trophies, and then there are axes, pliers, and saws, the same one, for opening roads, two sickles, and two beds. These are all tools for life. Ten people have to bring so many things.

For every fifty people, bring a Huozan, which is a short spear. When fighting, wrap cloth on it, pour oil on it, light it and throw it at the enemy, specifically to burn the enemy, and then One set of breast rope, three sets of bridle and pedals, which every fifty people should bring.

Li Jing had never been in a military camp before, and most of his understanding of the army was from reading military books.But most of the above are about the strategy of marching formations, and I really don't know much about these large and small equipment.

But at this moment, when there was only a team of 50 people in front of him with all the equipment, a hill had already been piled up outside the warehouse.Not to mention, with six horses for every ten people, 50 of them would have thirty horses or donkeys.

It's not just the rations and fodder they didn't go to lead the team, it's still a lot.

It's true that if you are not a family, you don't know how expensive firewood is, and if you are not an officer, you don't know how much equipment you have.

"Each team should share the equipment with themselves and the team!" At this moment, Li Jing was a little thankful that there were still thirty donkeys in the team, otherwise, how could such a large amount of equipment be brought back to the camp.

When leaving the warehouse, Li Jing took out the [-] coins from his body and handed them to Liu Sicangshi.Although he knew that the warehouse did not embarrass them in the slightest, but gave them all the best equipment, it must be because he is Cui Shishi's disciple.But when others give him face, he can't really say nothing.Two thousand dollars is not much, but it is also in his mind.It really made him take out more money, firstly, he really didn't have anything on him, and secondly, he was not too willing.After all, the equipment he received was paid [-] pennies per person in name, and a total of [-] pennies had been paid by the team.

Going back to the camp pointed out to them by the first team in Zuo Yidu, Li Jing immediately assigned the first and second groups to pitch tents, and then the third and fourth groups were responsible for digging toilets.

The military order says:

Wherever in the camp, the storehouse and the assistant supervise the soldiers' food, seal it up and store it, and do not order it to be widely used.Every time a soldier goes to camp, the two teams will be ordered to dig a toilet together.

Where a camp is established, it is forbidden to slaughter and sell people outside the camp, and it is forbidden to trade within the camp.

Every gate of the camp is equipped with a general guarding the school.The variegated duties are also assigned to one door for entry and exit, and they cannot be mixed.Still make it known to prevent spies.

In every army, three or five people are ordered to go together for protection and not to disperse.The other party noticed that it is not allowed to whisper about military affairs with outsiders, and accept money and bribes from outsiders. Those who commit serious crimes will be guaranteed together.

Among them, it is clearly stated that after each camp, the first thing is that the two teams must first dig a toilet.This is mainly to clean the camp, maintain hygiene, and prevent diseases.Li Jing quite agrees with this point. When traveling from Wendeng to Penglai, the Wendeng United Army was in a mess along the way.Although he asked his team to dig simple toilets every time after camping at night, the other newly recruited soldiers ignored them.Every night after night, on the next day, the entire camp and its surroundings were filled with excrement and urine, which made Li Jing very dissatisfied.

Now that he is going to be stationed in Jiulizhuang for a month of training, the first thing to do is of course to dig the toilet first.Otherwise, a large camp of more than 3000 people would definitely stink to death within three to five days.

The first and second groups camped, the third and fourth groups dug toilets, and the fifth group was responsible for carrying water and making food. Everything was in order.

Lin Wu, the deputy of the team, stood behind Li Jing, and said with a smile: "This subordinate is really following the right person. Other teams will always be pushed back and forth when they go to receive equipment. The money is still spent, but many of the received ones are eliminated. Old armor and armor. But the team leader went out, and all the equipment brought back was better than the equipment of the officers and soldiers of the Longshan Camp where we camped temporarily. Captain Li is really admirable."

Hearing Lin Wu's obvious flattery, Li Jing just smiled slightly, but didn't take it seriously.Lin Wu is the younger brother of the trainer Lin Wei. It is said that he is very good at riding horses. Before he came to Dengzhou, he was also a cavalry officer in the Shence Army.Lin Wei and Li Jing have known each other since Wendeng. Seeing that Li Jing became Cui Yunqing's disciple, he naturally knew that Li Jing had a bright future, so he greeted Li Jing and arranged his younger brother Lin Wu to be in Li Jing's team. vice.For this matter, he only considered for a moment, and then agreed to the former Shence Army cavalry officer as his deputy.

The downcast Lin Wei brothers want to use Li Jing to make a comeback, so why doesn't Li Jing need to recruit some real talents to expand his strength.
