The sixth is even more sent, I wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year's Eve, and please bring your girlfriend to New Year's Eve brothers tonight must be leisurely, the body is the capital!

To say that Modao is of course more powerful than Pu Dao, but the cost of Modao is indeed not comparable to Pu Dao. In the past, as county soldiers, even if they had money, they didn't have a place to get a knife.

Horse lances and knives are both sharp weapons of soldiers, and the imperial court even stipulated that they should not be buried with them.

Now that they are in the military, they are qualified to have channels, but the cost is indeed not cheap.

"Third brother, it's useless if there are fewer Mo sword soldiers, if you want to form Mo sword soldiers, you have to have at least a hundred cases, right?" Luo Chengdao.

"Then get a hundred Mo knife hands first."

Luo Cheng smiled and settled accounts with Heiye, it is not cheap to form a hundred Mo sword soldiers, everyone has a Mo knife, and the cost of Mo knife is not comparable to that of a spear and horizontal knife. A Mo knife produced by the ordnance supervisor, each one has to be ten runs, this is still the most ordinary, if you want to be advanced, you have to add money, such as a slightly better one, that has to be fifteen runs.

Moreover, Mo Dao is not just a Mo knife.

What is the role of the Mo Dao Soldier in the army? That's hoplite, since it's hoplite, so they need heavy infantry armor, the general Liangdang, Mingguang armor is not enough, the armor of the Mo sword soldier must be at least more than forty pounds of full-body iron armor, sometimes even double-layer armor, inner leather armor, outer iron armor, or a layer of thick fish scale iron armor and a piece of iron cable armor, the whole body batch armor, wrapped like an iron bucket.

Such a full-body heavy armor, coupled with the Zhangba Mo knife, can stand in front of the formation like a solid wall, and can not be afraid of the charge of the enemy cavalry, and then can also counterattack with a sharp Mo knife.

Therefore, when it comes to a Mo knife soldier, Mo Dao equipment is not the most expensive. A good Mo knife fifteen times, but their heavy armor is very expensive, it is said that a piece of infantry heavy armor takes more than 200 days to build, and the full set of armor has a total of more than 1,800 pieces of iron armor. Just the labor cost, a set of heavy infantry armor will cost more than 30 times, if you add the cost of materials, then a set of armor can not be down without 50 pieces.

In other words, even if they can get the cost price, they will have to pay fifty yuan, and they are not elite guards, so if they want to buy A, they may have to add money.

In this way, fifteen Mo swords, fifty-five heavy infantry armor, and the basic equipment of a Mo sword soldier will go to seventy.

"A hundred Mo swordsmen are only seven thousand, it's worth it." Siye preemptively said.

Seven thousand!

"Third brother, there are 800 people in our military government, although a lot of them have been captured this time, but we must also complete the full assembly. We have 200 cavalry and 600 paces, and you will spend 7,000 yuan for 100 infantry, which is not enough. ”

The equipment of the cavalry is no cheaper than that of the infantry, and a single war horse now costs at least twenty or more.

And whether it is Liangdang Jia or Mingguang Jia, any set is more than ten or twenty runs. Not to mention the equipment such as bows and crossbows, which are not cheap.

"At most, you can only build a team of Mo Daomen first."

"Only fifty? I'm afraid it won't work? "Inheritance Road.

"Match the Great Shield."

Compared with Mo Daoman, Luo Cheng wanted to complete the equipment of two hundred light cavalry first, although he also had two hundred cavalry now, but the horses of many cavalry were actually ordinary horses, or mules, saying that they were cavalry, but rather motorized infantry.

And a real cavalry, you don't have to be able to ride a horse, but you have to be able to fight on a horse, rush, charge, and pursue, which are the basic skills necessary for light cavalry. This requires good riding skills, well-trained horses, and the ability to ride and shoot.

The cavalrymen had to have horses, and they had to have horned bows on horses, and they had to have spears, and they had to have armor.

The total equipment of a cavalry must be much more expensive than that of infantry. And with 200 light riders, the cost will not be less.

In addition, for the infantry, Luo Cheng urgently needs a long-range bow and crossbow force.

He has summed up a lot of experience in many anti-bandit operations, among which long-range suppression is very important. Shooting with a bow and crossbow from a distance can shoot well even for recruits, but if it is a hand-to-hand combat, it will test morale and courage very much. Many people will panic, the formation will be easily confused, and the command will be more difficult.

It's not a big problem to just fight a few rabble bandits now, but if you face a large number of enemies or elite enemies in the future, such as enemy cavalry charging and large infantry attacking, you will suffer a lot if you don't have enough bows and crossbows.

Those elite guards have a bow and crossbow equipment rate of basically 12 percent, and everyone is equipped with a bow as standard, and some crossbowmen even have crossbows with bows, so that the Sui army can have the upper hand in long-range suppression every time they face the surrounding enemies.

"Then think again!" Luo Siye was also helpless.

With too many prisoners and captures, the ranks marched slowly.

But fortunately, it is not an enemy march, nor a border march, it is an official road, and it is very easy along the way, every time you camp outside the city, you can enter the city to purchase the food, meat and vegetables you need, and everyone does not suffer much.

Especially with such a large team, every time they pass through a city, they can attract local traders and ordinary people to come and do business, and Luo Cheng is very happy to do business with these locals.

He buys some fresh meat and the like, and he also sells some of his loot by the way, as long as the price is right, he doesn't mind lightening the burden.

Even selling prisoners of war along the way.

The slightly older and weaker, Luo Cheng is selling all the way. There are also a lot of livestock, which are also sold all the way.

Every time he passes through a city, Luo Cheng will even take turns to give the soldiers a holiday, one team at a time, everyone has money in their waists, and they will also go to the city to open a restaurant, or even go to the Qinglou to open a meat or something, these Luo Cheng doesn't care. He will send officers to lead a team to inspect the city, as long as they don't engage in such things as forced buying and selling, eating overlord meals, etc., he doesn't care about them.

On the other hand, if anyone dares to bully his soldiers, he will take care of them.

Fortunately, along the way, no local snake dares to be so bold.

On the contrary, Luo Cheng came all the way, and the news of buying and selling became popular, and even many merchants heard the wind and waited early on the road they were passing through, bringing a large amount of money and goods to trade.

Wang Ziming listened to Luo Cheng's words, so he personally selected two young, beautiful and gentle women for Shixin to send to him. Both women were young women who had already become wives, gentle and plump, and Shixin accepted them with a blushing face.

Then the next day it did not come out until the third pole of the day.

Luo Cheng was already eating lunch, mutton soup with boiled noodles, and he was enjoying it, Shixin came over with a smile.

He picked up the big basin he ate and filled it with a basin, squatted on the ground and devoured it, and ate it in a while.

"I said Xiaoliu, although this woman is good, she must also be temperate, don't be greedy, otherwise it will be easy to hurt your body, you are still growing your body."

"Brother, I know." Xiao Liu snorted, then lowered his head and continued to bury his head in the noodles.

Luo Cheng looked at him like this, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Tell me brother, how many times did you last night?" ”

Xiao Liu stopped his chopsticks, looked up and thought about it, "Last night's plus the time I got up just now, a total of seven times." ”

Luo Cheng was shocked, so he had to smash his mouth and say, "Brother, take it easy!" ”
