Chapter 48: The future is uncertain

When the people who set out gathered in the open space of the lair, Xiao Tianjian also put on his tattered cotton armor, and after inspecting his dozens of subordinates, he asked Master Jin to send the results of his busy days to everyone.

I saw that soon someone came running over with a bunch of things and put them at Xiao Tianjian's feet, and the eyes of these brothers standing in the open space widened.

It turns out that among these things, there are not only two bundles of javelins with iron heads, but also more than a dozen pieces of brand-new cowhide armor, armor is not easy to get, even among the officers and soldiers, only those officers and their families can be equipped with armor This kind of backbone members of the army, ordinary officers and soldiers can at most receive a mandarin duck battle jacket, and most of them are tattered, which can be clamped with iron wire, even if it is good, so in this era, if you want to wear armor, even if it is just leather armor, It's already quite powerful.

"Brethren! Our current ability is limited, and I Xiao can't afford to buy too much armor for everyone, but as long as I can do it, I, Xiao, will not hide it and be reluctant to take it out for the big guys!

A few days ago, our cattle have been killed, and the reason for killing the cattle is to make some leather armor for everyone, so that everyone can have an extra layer of protection! Because in my eyes, you are my brothers, as long as I can protect you, even if it is valuable, I will give it! Xiao Tianjian stood straight, and shouted loudly at the subordinates in front of him with his hands behind his back.

These people suddenly became excited, from the beginning of following Xiao Tianjian, they could see that Xiao Tianjian was indeed very good to them, and even the ploughing cattle were willing to kill, and bought these leather armor for them, which shows that Xiao Tianjian really treats them as his own! The crowd immediately shouted, "Thank you, take the plate!" The little ones are willing to die for the palm of the plate! ……”

Xiao Tianjian raised his right hand, stopped their roar, and said with a smile: "Thank you brothers for treating me like this!" I will live up to your brothers! It's just that at the moment, our strength is limited, and we only have time to purchase these more than ten pieces of leather armor, and it is obviously impossible to make everyone get one!

So today's brothers with guns will be wronged first, these leather armor will be issued to the brothers of the sword and shield hand first, what is the reason I don't say much, everyone also understands, the remaining few pieces, each squad leader is assigned a set, and after we have laid down Fanjiabao this time, if we can get some skins, and then match them to the remaining brothers, don't blame me for favoritism! ”

Although the people who didn't get the leather armor were a little lost, but this is also the actual situation, because when the sword and shield hand went into battle, it was to be in close contact with the enemy, and when the enemy released arrows and guns, they also had to stand at the front of the team to block arrows and guns for everyone, and the work was the most dangerous, so they were issued to them first Everyone had nothing to say, and the rest of the squad leaders were the earliest people who followed Xiao Tianjian, and they were also the most daring to fight, they put on leather armor, which was a matter of course, and no one would fight with them for anything, so even if they didn't get the leather armor, there is nothing to complain about, I just hope that when they become stronger in the future, they can also be equipped with this thing.

For those who received leather armor, this mood is not to mention, Xiao Tianjian treats them like this, what can they say except to serve their lives?

After watching the sword and shield hands and the squad leaders put on the leather armor one by one, they suddenly became a lot more majestic, those tattered clothes were covered by the leather armor, and the large pieces of leather covered the vital points on their bodies, which suddenly made them feel a lot safer, and the morale was naturally much higher.

The pikemen each had two javelins, and they were also quickly distributed, and Yan Chongxi and the other sword and shield soldier also carried an extra hard bow and a bag of arrows because they could shoot arrows, which was even more imposing.

And Xiao Tianjian gave his new leather armor to his subordinates, and now he is wearing a broken cotton armor, which is a little shabby compared to his subordinates, but he doesn't care, he is holding a simple knife, and there is a waist knife hanging from his waist, and there are two short axes pinned to his waist, plus his tall figure, it also looks majestic.

In addition to leather armor, during this time, Xiao Tianjian also asked the women here to use the night to give these soldiers, with some felt snatched from Guzhuang, one person made a felt hat, and they were also distributed, so it seems that his team is more neat, gathered together, but there is also a feeling of guns like a forest, shields like a wall, compared to the previous group of messy and tattered subordinates, now at least there is a bit of army posture.

"Good! Brothers, let's fight for our own lives with our own hands! Let's go! Xiao Tianjian crossed his waist with his left hand, waved his right hand in the direction of the mountain pass, and shouted loudly, quite imitating the movements of a certain great man, no matter what, this guy is still a little bit evil.

Following the command of each squad leader, the group of soldiers turned to the right in groups, and then followed the instructions of the squad leaders, striding towards the outside of the valley.

After the soldiers and Shi Ran's scout team set off, the twenty or so selected auxiliaries also followed behind them, and set off happily, Master Jin led the rest of the people to send them to the valley, and Fang Mu sent Xiao Tianjian and his party out of the lair.

Forty miles of road, for these people, is nothing, high-intensity training every day, not only tempered their will, but also improved their physical fitness a lot, Xiao Tianjian controlled the speed of their movements, every ten miles let everyone rest for fifteen minutes, in order to ensure that even if they are marching, they can always maintain a certain amount of physical strength, so that their subordinates can have enough ability to respond to emergencies.

And Shi Ran still took a few three-legged cat scouts such as Da Niu and walked out in front of the team, opening the way for them and exploring the situation ahead, and Xiao Tianjian also had a great increase in strength and his own people in front of him, so he was much bolder on this trip, and directly led his subordinates to the official road, so that the speed of action was faster.

Although there are not many pedestrians on the official road, it does not mean that there are no pedestrians, and along the way, there are still a lot of homeless people, and some times, there will be a team composed of more than a dozen small merchants and hawkers.

These homeless people are easy to say, they are not very afraid when they meet them, and they will not scatter and run away, but they hide on the side of the road and look at them with some surprise, anyway, as long as they don't meet the official army, it is not a big problem, they are poor and have nothing, and the pole will not be interested in them, but the official army, from time to time, because of the idea of killing good people and risking their heads, so it is safer to meet a pole like Xiao Tianjian and them.

However, when they met Xiao Tianjian's group, they were scared, and when they saw them from a distance, they carried their goods on their backs and fled with joy, for fear of being robbed by them.

Xiao Tianjian is not interested in such small traders and vendors, firstly, they have no oil and water, and secondly, because these people are only people who are struggling to survive, and other poles may rob them, but he is not hostile to these people, he sees them from a distance, and ignores them, pressing the team to stride forward.

But they didn't go far from the official road, so they got off the official road and set foot on the road to Fanjiabao, and gradually met fewer and fewer people along the way, and then they simply walked for several miles and couldn't meet anyone.

"All rest!" Calculating the distance, Xiao Tianjian once again gave the order to rest.

Everyone immediately stopped moving, sat down on the side of the road, untied the bamboo tubes on their backs, raised their heads and drank a few sips, and then began to discuss with each other what they might encounter when they went to Fanjiabao this time.

Xiao Tianjian also took the water bladder handed to him by the iron head, drank a few sips, he still has to walk with the team, riding a horse, it is still a little difficult for him, although it is majestic, it seems to be labor-saving, but the two thighs are grinding pain, so he can walk or walk, which in the eyes of his subordinates, it makes them feel kind, and they feel that they are willing to share weal and woe with them.

However, Xiao Tianjian still decided that he must take time out to practice horseback riding, even if he can't reach the level of riding, at least he can ride a horse and gallop, such a skill is very helpful for him to survive in this world in the future, relying on two legs, if he is really in big trouble, it is impossible to run past a four-legged beast, but now he is very busy every day, and he rarely finds time to practice riding every day, so at the moment he can only rely on this eleventh car to act.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian has been thinking about how to attack Fanjiabao in the past two days, to be honest, this time to fight Fanjiabao, it is the first time he has led people to fight a well-guarded Zhuangzi, no more than when they picked soft persimmons with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, whether they could beat Fanjiabao or not, Xiao Tianjian really had no bottom.

But if he doesn't fight, he can't do it, if he wants to grow, he must have more grain, and a small fight can't solve it, only by laying a bigger Zhuangzi can it be possible to get a large amount of grain, and this step can be said to be taken sooner or later.

But taking this step, Xiao Tianjian is not sure, although he has more subordinates now, but basically does not have much experience in tackling tough problems, it will be very difficult to deal with such a Zhuangzi, and may even pay a lot of price.

But the sense of urgency of time makes him have to do this now, who knows when, the large group of rebels will run back, before he does this, if he does not expand his strength, I am afraid that there will be no chance at that time.

So no matter what, he has to do it this time, even if he can't beat it, he has to use this opportunity to accumulate some experience, this time it's just a practice, go and see the situation first! As for the result, Xiao Tianjian couldn't guess, so he could only take one step at a time.

(Still continue to ask for votes, there are still a few days left to be on the new book list!) At the critical moment, don't let the chrysanthemums below explode me! It's a late season! Red Ticket, Red Ticket, I Want Red Ticket! Lift up your noble hands and hold them up, brothers. )
