Chapter 352: Leather armor is more expensive

Li De and the lieutenants inspected the barracks that had just been built, this was the first time that the vanguard had perfected the camp, and it was expected that they would be stationed here for a few days, and the barracks should not be careless.

Returning to the horde, the congregation began.

"The order of the vanguard is good and worthy of praise."

"Tell me if you have anything to report." Li De said.

"In the first battle of the Turkic horse bandits, the capture statistics have come out, eighty war horses, twenty sets of armor, three thousand bows and arrows, and one thousand silver coins." Wei Xun said.

"It's a pity that there are more than a hundred people who let them escape." Ding Qilin said suddenly.

"Ding Qilin, what do you mean, are you saying that our wolf cavalry is not good?" Wei Li stood up and asked.

In fact, it was a coincidence that when the guards scattered by the vanguard were hunting along the way, the guards and the guards found a Turkic horse team of 300 people.

The Turks plundered the land in the border with licenses, so the two sides fought for a while, and the Turkic horse bandits originally wanted to annihilate Weili and others.

However, when the two sides started the war, they realized that the strength of the two sides was too great, and the Turks did not have too much iron armor and suffered a loss in defense, so they fled with the remaining more than 100 people with superb equestrian skills.

Wei Li was a very slippery man, and he took it when he saw it, knowing that he would not be able to catch up even if he chased them, and when they came out to hunt for the main game, he did not carry the rations to support them on a long journey, so he brought the capture back.

Ding Qilin was young and vigorous, and he was very unhappy when he thought that he had not fought with the Turks, so he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.

"If you change to a leopard ride, you will definitely not be able to run any of them." Ding Qilin replied.

The two are-for-tat, and the anger is accumulating.

"Okay, you two, although you didn't achieve the annihilation war, you finally injured more than half of the enemy, which is a great record of the vanguard, and the battle achievements are recorded truthfully, and you will return to Chang'an to receive the merits."

"You have to be patient in Weili, luck is also a reflection of strength, who let you not meet so don't fantasize, we are now in Shuofang, the north is the Turks, out of the city wall, you are afraid that there is no chance of meritorious service, don't be too angry and appear to have no stomach."

Li De's persuasion was very effective, and the words of appeasement were just casual words.

"Now go ahead and say don't get things out of the way." Li De continued.

Wei Li glared at Ding Qilin for a moment, and then continued: "According to the analysis of the harvested items, the horse bandits have ordinary combat strength, they don't have too many battle armor, they shouldn't be the main force of the enemy, guessing that the small forces in the tribe want to loot before the winter, and they should have just arrived in the hinterland not long ago." ”

"What should the governor do with the seized items?"

"Money, weapons, and horses are returned to the logistics support guards, and gadgets are treated as personal trophies."

The vanguard is composed of eleven forces, and no matter how hard they do things, the general direction must still be controlled by the vanguard, and they cannot be allowed to come nonsense.

Soldiers' salaries are the norm, there are rewards for military achievements, but they can't all be divided, the vanguard should be developed, and the benefit of generals is military merit.

The matter of the horse bandits was settled, and Gao Cheng said: "Dudu, the last general has received news from General Zhang, the garrison of Shuofang, that the Turks are gathering troops and horses recently, and the number of 30,000 people seems to be about to launch an attack on the border pass. ”

"In the second half of the year, the warlike tribes unite to prepare for the winter, and there will be battles when they stay." Gao Cheng looked at Li De and said.

It seemed that they wanted to see what kind of expression their governor had.

How long does it take to stay, you can't stay for a few months, they are soldiers and horses to suppress bandits, and it is unrealistic to stay at the border pass.

Li De looked at the crowd and knew what they were thinking, but it was impossible.

"It's not okay to stay, if you want to fight, don't keep thinking about waiting for people to come here, you have to learn to be flexible."

"Does the Governor mean that we want to take the initiative?" Hobida Road.

"Captain He is a flexible person, this idea is very good, why can they come and go like the wind, but we can't, Mobei training can exercise the vanguard maneuver and survival instinct isn't very good."

"The governor is right, we took the initiative to attack and catch them off guard." Hebida followed.

"But where do you want to find them in Mobei?"

"No matter how many people it takes to send scouts, how long it will take to gather useful information, not to mention that the whereabouts of the Turks are uncertain, and we are in a weak position when we enter Mobei, and once we get lost, we will fall into the abyss." Shi Huaiyi said.

"Well, there's one who is willing to use his brain." Li De said.

He Bida and the others just felt enthusiastic about Li De's initiative, but in the blink of an eye, they said frustrating words, how to let them accept it.

"Governor ......"

He Bida wanted to ask clearly, but Li De began to explain without waiting for him to finish asking: "The land of Mobei is sparsely populated, and the environment is extremely unfavorable to us, and it is not realistic to defeat the Turks with a few thousand soldiers and horses. ”

"I know that you are sincere in your meritorious service, and the soldiers are all good, but you have to consider the consequences when you do things, such as how to deal with the lost desert and how to deal with it, and what to do if it causes a siege of Turkic soldiers and horses, this is not something that can be done with a hot head."

"Send scouts to collect nearby Turkic soldiers and horses, if you can find the target, you can't let it go, if not, you will hand over the collected information to the garrison General Zhang, so that you can train the scouts to achieve your goal."

"The governor's words are reasonable, and the general agrees." Shi Huaiyi said.

"Governor, the last general is willing to take the scout's mission." Luo Song said.

Then several lieutenants spoke.

"There's no need to fight, we all have a chance, we can't stay for a long time, so each lieutenant can send a scout team of twenty people, and after three days, no matter whether they find anything or not, they must rush back to the barracks."

"Order!" All the lieutenants said in unison.

waved everyone away, and Li De took out the various design drawings he drew for inspection.

After the lieutenants had left the tent, all of Li De's lieutenants walked in and found a place to sit casually.

Zhang Chuchen leaned over to Li De's side to check the strange drawings.

"These bags are similar to backpacks, what are they used for?" Zhang Chuchen said curiously.

Li Xiuning also came over, saw the strange pictures, and quickly said: "Naturally, it is to put things, and the back basket is made of leather, which looks like it can hold a lot of things." ”

"Backpacks, you don't find them more poxious." Li De explained.

Lord Yujun came over to take a look and said, "Is it a bit of a waste to use leather as a backpack, and would it be better to use fur as armor?" ”

Li De admired the vision of the Jade County Lord, if she was allowed to do business, she would definitely be able to become the richest businesswoman in the world, where to make leather armor to make money.

But the nature of the two is different, the backpack is used for daily life, and leather armor is not used by everyone, and even if it is used, it is not allowed to be worn.

However, in terms of value, leather armor is more expensive.
