Chapter 63: Weapons Exchange
"Lei Ding's words are not unreasonable."
Liu Wei waved his hand, interrupted Lei Shu's words, and then turned his head to Lei Ding and said in a condensed voice: "Lei Ding, I know that you have great ambitions, and I know the hardships of you as the patriarch of the Di people. When you took more than 500 people in the village to fall into the grass in the mountains, it was really a last resort. ”
"However, a bandit is a bandit, and the reason why Lone decided to send troops today is for the people of the Han family, and the other is also for the name of the Di people, so that the people of the world know that the Di people are not greedy for life and afraid of death."
"That's it, that's it." Lei Ding took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "In this case, the last general is willing to be the vanguard." ”
"Lei Ding, your heart is lonely and understands. However, among the people, you have a calm personality and you still sit in the cottage, and Lei Shen stays behind to assist you. Liu Wei's gaze swept over the crowd: "The rest of the people will follow Gu on the expedition." ”
Everyone clasped their fists and said, "No." ”
"Hmm!" Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, and then asked Xu Sheng, "How is the training of the two hundred Di people?" Can they all take on the responsibility of this expedition? ”
Xu Sheng said with a look of appreciation on his face: "Di people are indeed natural warriors, and after the conditioning of His Royal Highness's diet, two hundred individuals are as strong as oxen, even if they face ten times the enemy, they have the strength to fight!" ”
Xu Sheng's voice fell, the three brothers Lei Ding, Lei Shen, and Lei Shu fell in love with Fu and were full of pride, Di people were naturally good at fighting, and it was not just talk, they believed that with the same equipment over time, the forty Xiliang elites were not the opponents of their clansmen.
"But...."Xu Sheng showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said in a condensed voice: "Even so, the existing weapons in the cottage are hard injuries, if they can't be equipped with weapons, everything is empty talk." ”
"Wen Xiang doesn't need to worry about armaments, Gu has been prepared early." Liu Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone among the two hundred people who can use bows and arrows?" ”
The reason why Liu Wei asked this question is really because there is a huge gap between archers and ordinary infantry in this era, whether ordinary foot soldiers, whether they are sword and shield soldiers or pikemen, as long as they are equipped with corresponding armaments, after a period of training, as long as they can neatly do the two actions of collecting and stabbing, they can be regarded as out of the division.
On the other hand, archers are much more complicated, although when attacking with a large area of bows and arrows, there is no need to be accurate to such an archer as one arrow and one person, but at least there must be a similar accuracy, so archers often need a lot of time and resources to train, which is why archers are considered a rare class of troops in this era.
According to historical records, when the Kwantung princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, only Yuan Shao, Han Fu and other profound princes were equipped with archers, and the rest of the people such as Cao Cao and Sun Jian basically did not have archers.
"This...."Xu Sheng frowned, the two hundred people usually train with wooden sticks, and he really doesn't know if anyone can use bows and arrows, and his eyes can't help but skim at the thunder technique.
Lei Shu smiled slightly, took over and said: "Your Highness, there are about thirty hunters in the whole village, each of which can be called a divine archer, but about ten of them are older, and they are no longer among the two hundred. ”
"Bows and arrows are different from others, and the longer they are used, the more accurate they are." Liu Wei muttered: "This expedition left fifty strong and strong people to cooperate with Lei Ding and Lei to guard the cottage, and the ten older hunters will go out together." ”
Then after Liu Wei finished arranging, everyone hugged their fists and went to prepare.
After everyone left, Liu Wei's consciousness entered the system space and began to exchange weapons for them, looking at the few military merit points left, there were about a thousand points, and it was definitely not enough to exchange so many weapons blessed by the system.
Therefore, Liu Wei planned to use money to exchange for ordinary weapons, although they were ordinary weapons, they were produced by the system after all, and they were much sharper than the weapons equipped by the Huns and most of the princes.
Since the thunder technique handed over ninety gold, a total of forty gold has been spent to exchange food, and now there is still fifty gold left, Liu Wei opened the currency exchange system while calculating, and directly ignored the ultimate weapons such as [Qinglong Yanyue Knife], [Bloodthirsty Divine Spear], and [Fang Tian Painting Halberd], not to mention that there is no money to exchange, even if it is exchanged, no one will make it, what he wants to exchange is ordinary soldiers' standard armaments.
[Ordinary Iron Sword]: A long sword made of refined steel, with a double-edged body and a straight head, which can hurt people horizontally and vertically, and pierces through armor, which is dangerous and abnormal, and extremely sharp. Pass the exchange: 500 money.
[Ordinary spear]: The spear head is made of refined steel, a single diamond-shaped, with a high ridge and a thin tip. The barrel of the gun is made of high-quality alder wood, straight but not curved, thin but not soft. The spear is made of a rhinoceros tail, and the trembling of the spear tassel can confuse the enemy and block blood when stabbing. Ordinary drills can be strong. Exchange price: 1000 money.
[Ordinary Shield]: Made of top-grade ironwood, it is invulnerable to water and fire, invulnerable, and has a very strong defense. Exchange price: 5000 money.
[Ordinary Bow and Arrow]: A long-range terrible weapon with a sharp blade launched with a bow, ox horns, bamboo and wood tires, cow tendons, animal glue and other materials, processed through dozens of processes, can be said to be the most pinnacle weapon in the current plane. Exchange price: 2000 money.
[Ordinary wolf's tooth arrow]: The total length is two feet nine inches, and the arrow is two inches and one minute long, and it is named because its arrow is sharp and similar to a wolf's tooth. Exchange price: 100 yuan.
As he browsed through these most basic standard equipment, Liu Wei's face became more and more ugly, he used to exchange equipment with military merit points, and he didn't pay attention to the price of currency exchange at all, but now he found that the remaining fifty gold in his hand was converted into copper money, which was 500,000 yuan, and basically he couldn't exchange a few pieces of equipment.
{The Han Dynasty gold is basically brass, the Qin Dynasty stipulated that twenty taels of brass is one gold, and one tael of brass is one-twenty-fourth of a baht, so one gold is equal to 24 baht× 20 taels, which is 480 baht, and a copper coin is five baht, that is, one coin should be 96 five-baht coins, but the above is the information on Baidu, I think it is a little inaccurate. Later, I checked some historical books, and there is a saying that the ratio of gold and copper coins is about 1:10,000, which is in line with the record that the price of goods rose to 300,000 yuan per stone of rice at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. }
Not counting arrows for the time being, it is only said that each person needs 1 million copper coins to complete the shield, not to mention adding iron guns, iron swords, bows and arrows, so I am afraid that it will cost millions of copper coins.
In desperation, Liu Wei just gave up the iron sword and shield first, and turned to look at the iron spear, two hundred iron guns cost 200,000 copper coins, and the remaining 300,000 yuan can only be exchanged for 15 bows and arrows, which is not counting arrows.
Gritting his teeth, he first exchanged the iron spear, and then exchanged for 15 bows and arrows, at this time, Liu Wei didn't have a single copper coin on his body, originally he also planned to exchange some horses for transportation, but now he hasn't even exchanged all the weapons, let alone the horses.
Looking at the [Ordinary Spear] and [Ordinary Bow and Arrow] floating in the air, both in appearance and sharpness, they are indeed top-level equipment among ordinary equipment.
But just now he had already stepped down from Haikou in front of everyone, and the current dilemma was Chi Guoguo's slap in the face, how would he face these people in the future.
