Chapter 303: Luxurious lineup
Lin Sen, who got the letter, couldn't help but be a little eager to try, and excitement was inevitable.
Of course, Cheng Huaiyu is still worried about his safety, although he knows that Lin Sen's skills are quite good, and he still leads the most elite guards under him, and his headquarters soldiers and horses, but after all, he exists as a scout, and the danger is still very great.
Even if he is used to seeing this kind of parting military general's family background, he still can't say that he doesn't care.
The other second generations who are familiar with each other inevitably got together to make a game for Lin Sen, and many farmers in the Lin family's village, although they are also a little concerned about this owner, but who has the most confidence in Lin Sen is still them.
In their eyes, Lin Sen is always the living immortal who is good at creating miracles, and it is naturally very common for him to return safely, and it is his fate to return with victory and all the guards.
Bidding farewell to the people who cared about him, as well as Cheng Huaiyu, who was a little forced to smile, Lin Sen took his subordinates together, which can be regarded as an official rush to the battlefield.
Along with him, there are also Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui, the two future fierce generals who he actually wants to use this battle to push out.
Of course, another Su Dingfang, who will also shine in this battle, will also lead a team of elite rangers to set off with Lin Sen, but the two are likely not to go all the way, after all, the army is not only attacking from all the way.
As the most important scout team on this trip, Lin Sen's equipment should be the most complete, not to mention the best weapons and equipment and logistics materials that the army can provide, Lin Sen himself has also taken out a lot of things to arm this group of subordinates.
These 200 people are all treasures that he values a lot, and they are also his biggest reliance on this trip, of course, they should be taken care of better.
As early as when he asked for battle, Lin Sen told Li Shimin about some things that he had practiced and found useful during the last battle.
In addition to the marching dry food that has been fully rolled out in the whole army, which will definitely play an important role in the battle this time, he obtained the wisdom of Genghis Khan in later generations, and the method of carrying a milking mare at any time is actually quite useful, and it is actually a complementary role to the marching dry food.
Mare's milk can be used to replenish water, and when the conditions are bad, it can also be used for temporary food and make a living, it is really critical, this mare is also reserve food, can it be killed to eat meat, and it can also help carry some things on weekdays.
It's just that the current Tang Dynasty obviously can't afford to equip every cavalry with a mare, after all, the places where horses are produced are still relatively limited, and the resources of war horses are still a little tight.
However, it is no problem to equip an elite scout team like them with an extra mare, so Lin Sen and his subordinates have achieved the luxury of one person and four horses, three war horses for riding and carrying things, and one mare for backup materials and logistics supplies.
If the effectiveness of the mare can be further verified in this battle, maybe in the future, the Tang Army, at least those elite scout teams, may be able to have this configuration, of course, after laying down the Turkic horse land and turning most of the Turkic people into their own horse herding slaves.
In the previous battle of Shuofang, only Lin Sen and his guards experienced the benefits, which can only be regarded as a family's words, and Li Shimin could not just rely on his words to set this extremely costly method, and promote it throughout the army.
As for the weapons of the big killing weapon in Lin Sen's hands, as well as the plate armor of Bai Jianmu, he couldn't equip the Yi guards under him for the time being.
Not to mention the suspicion of inviting people to buy people's hearts, the key is that this must exceed the number of armor he should have.
Although it is an open secret that the number of soldiers in Wuxun's family is excessive, Lin Sen put these things on the surface, and this is not the real hammer of self-made armor.
His enemies are not allowed to kill him, and this thing is irrefutable evidence. So I can only let those Ziyi guards arm themselves as much as possible to resist them.
And what Lin Sen took out here really made these Yi guards, who were not bad, look at them with red eyes.
The Zhuge repeater that has long been famous, all kinds of strong bows and hard crossbows, the armor-piercing cones that can easily penetrate three pairs of Mingguang armor, and the flying axe that will either kill or hurt if hit, all make their eyes very hot.
The key is that none of these things are made of iron, even in very cold weather, you don't have to worry about not paying attention, and you won't be able to hold it in your hands.
Although gloves have now become the standard configuration of the Tang Army, these guards are all equipped with warm and comfortable leather gloves, but it is definitely more reliable to get started directly when it comes to fighting.
You wear gloves to draw a bow and shoot arrows, but you don't know where the arrows are flying, and when you cut people, maybe the knife and gun will be gone, in short, it is not suitable.
And the combination of Huangtian and Dumao blinded the eyes of a group of Zi Yiwei, especially after these two flew into the sky and explored the road for everyone a few times, the eyes of the Yiwei guards looked at Lin Sen one by one.
Originally, I only thought that this eagle eagle was more bullish, and it would be a good helper when attacking, and there were so many wonderful uses for half a day.
It's no wonder that his head can snatch the job of this whole army scout, but it's not just that he is big in His Majesty, but the advantage of others is also leveraged, who can compare with the lookout post in the sky.
Of course, the confidence of his subordinates in Lin Sen is even more full at this time, and it is really right to follow him to do the job of scouting, how can this credit be run.
When it was time to set up camp, look at the head of the soldier again, surrounded by takin mounts responsible for blocking the wind, with two calf-sized mountain guard dogs as heaters, and a dull warm quilt in his arms, the small day is simply not too comfortable.
Not to mention the two bear-like Kunlun Nu brothers, who stood there like two gates, still holding a huge battle axe in their hands, rushing into the enemy formation with such an iron tower, it is not difficult to imagine the despair of the enemy.
Especially when the carriage got into the pit, a team of sergeants didn't push it much, but after the two brothers went up and lifted them out with a howl, the eyes of the gang of Zi Yiwei looked at the two brothers.
And what kind of level the group of guards brought by Lin Sen, that is, the group of guys who are now serving as their temporary captains, they have already seen it, including Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui, who came to practice together.
Even the thorns of the Davids, who were originally very high-minded, were actually the best of them, and they had to say a word.
Led by such a group of people, even if they encounter a battle, even if they face an enemy several times their own, they are confident that they can kill seven in and seven out.
This is still because they haven't seen the power of those secret weapons in Lin Sen's hands, maybe they will be able to open their eyes this time, and their confidence will definitely be as strong as Xi Weizhong's group of Lin Sen's guards.
And Lin Sen was hurrying, and at the same time, he couldn't help but imagine, there were Xi Junmai and Xue Rengui, both of whom were famous super macho men in history, as well as Xi Weizhong and Xi Junqing, who were not worse than them in terms of martial arts alone, and the proper killing machines of the human and bear brothers were helping from the side, how happy it would be to really fight with the enemy, and what kind of despair would it be for the enemy.
And when Lin Sen was busy on the road, in the gap between waiting for the army to assemble in Chang'an City, those veterans also gathered together, and saw that the sky was constantly pushing down various strategies on the sand table, repeatedly discussing, arguing, and then simply began to deduce, just to come up with the best strategy.
Li Jing, who has been determined to be the commander of this trip and will be responsible for commanding several armies, of course, also participated in the whole process.
As the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, the crystallization of the common wisdom of a group of veterans, there are always many merits, and it is indispensable to check and fill in the gaps. Even if he needs to be more adaptable, there are a lot of things that need to be more secure.
