Chapter 165: Evacuation of Shangjun County
Each suit of armor is stacked neatly, with corresponding weapons on the side in addition to the armor????? w?w?w?.? Su Yi could see that this was not just a pair of armor, but a complete set of weapons and armor.
The so-called armor refers to a set of armor, a horizontal sword, a spear and a shield, which is the most complete set of armaments for soldiers in the elite army of Great Chu.
Of course, there are also upper and lower armor, just like armor is divided into fish scale armor, chain armor, rear iron armor, leaf scale armor, and so on. The knives are also divided into simple knives, sabers, horizontal knives, swords, horse chopping knives and ghost head knives, etc., and the most elite should be fan knives and Yanling knives. However, these are only inferior and medium armor.
The biggest difference between superior and inferior armor is not the difference between swords and armor, but the fact that superior armor is generally equipped with bows and arrows. In addition to the standard equipment such as armor, knives, guns, and shields, soldiers also carried a bow and a pot of arrows.
There is also a difference between the advantages and disadvantages of bows and arrows, but that is the difference between ordinary soldiers and elite soldiers. The real elite is equipped with the finest iron-tired bows.
The entire armory has 50,000 sets of inferior armor, 30,000 sets of medium armor, and 16,000 sets of upper class armor. These armors were specially transported by Liu Yu, and Chen Hu sealed them in the warehouse, and they have not yet been equipped for the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County.
Chen Hu sealed these armors and stored them in the warehouse, and constantly collected grain from the local squires and haoqiang, in order to recruit troops and horses and expand his power. With weapons and equipment, requisition of food, and purchase of war horses from the Hu people, when the time comes, don't the soldiers want to levy as much as they want?
Now the world is becoming more and more chaotic, and the people are miserable, as long as there is food, they are not afraid that no one will come to join the army.
It's a pity that although Chen Hu's abacus is good, now he has no chance to realize his ambitions.
In addition to the armor, Su Yi also found a total of 600 sets of crossbows and repeaters, these crossbows and bows and arrows are contraband, strictly controlled by the imperial court, each one has a number, and it must be reported to the imperial court once a year.
Among the children of rich families in Shangjun County, only Wang Biao followed Su Yi into the armory.
Seeing so much equipment, Wang Biao's eyes lit up. Su Yi flipped through the documents in the armory, which clearly recorded the number of sets of armor and bows and crossbows.
"Brother Han, look at this ......" Wang Biao's voice trembled, not because of the cold, but because he was trembling excitedly.
Su Yi flipped through the documents casually and said lightly: "Two thousand sets of inferior armor, no problem, right?" ”
Wang Biao swallowed his saliva, he wanted Su Yi to give him more, but after seeing Su Yi's cold gaze, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and said with a smile: "No problem, as for the money, don't worry, I will definitely let Wang Jin prepare the cash." ”
Su Yi is not short of silver now, he didn't take Wang Biao's words to heart, but said: "You must do a good job of keeping these two thousand sets of inferior armor secret, and you must not leak it out, to put it mildly, with these two thousand sets of armor, not to mention other powerful forces, even those soldiers in the military fort, they may not be the opponents of your Wangjiazhuang." Your Wang family is in this county, but you are really a hegemon. ”
Wang Biao knew that Su Yi was telling the truth, he took a deep breath and said: "Brother Han's great kindness, I, Wang Biao, will not forget, if you have anything to do in the future, even if you send someone to Wangjiazhuang to say something, I, Wang Biao, will never refuse." ”
Su Yi nodded, and said meaningfully: "Brother Wang, now that the world is not peaceful, you have to make good use of these two thousand soldiers." ”
Wang Biao's heart was shocked, and he looked at Su Yi with some incredulity, and at this moment he even wanted to pull out the Pu knife on his waist. Could it be that this surnamed Han already knows what Wangjiazhuang has done? Wang Biao looked at Su Yi with some uncertainty.
"To be honest, you should also think about your future, Cheng Wenyuan got a position of a general not long ago, although it is useless, but it is also an official of the imperial court, Brother Wang, your ability is no worse than Cheng Wenyuan, what you lack is just an opportunity."
Wang Biao fell into deep thought, and Su Yi knew that some words only needed to be clicked, so he didn't say more.
Subsequently, Su Yi called Meng Hai, Liu Shisan and others to him, and ordered them to load all the armor into the car. With the identity of the officers and soldiers of Liaodong, how much can be moved, as for whether the powerful forces and squires in Shangjun County will suspect them because of this, Su Yi has no control.
Shangjun County cannot stay for a long time, and if it is late, it will change, and it must leave as soon as possible.
Just when Su Yi led people to empty the armory of Shangjun County, the bandits he sent out to clean up the battlefield also stripped off the clothes and armor of the officers and soldiers who died in battle. Soon, Su Yi asked people to load all of them into the car, and just as he was about to leave, a message came from the villager who was helping to clean up the battlefield in the city.
Su Yi is different from Chen Hu, he will not do things absolutely, although the powerful forces in these places dare not have any complaints because of his strength, but if Su Yi only knows how to eat alone and does not give them some benefits, then these places will definitely be hostile to Su Yi, which is not conducive to his safe evacuation of Shangjun County.
Zhuang Ke, a powerful force, found Chen Hu's body under the wall in the backyard of the county government, Wang Biao and the others were naturally overjoyed when they knew the news, and Su Yi asked him to cut his rank and take him away. The only thing that made him regret was that the thieves of Peach Blossom Village and the Zhuang Ke of the powerful forces did not show any trace of the person named Ruan Ke.
This person used to be the treasurer of the Eight Great Chambers of Commerce, and he was also the secret envoy of the collusion between the Saiwai Hu forces and Chen Hu, so he must know a lot of information. It's a pity that this person escaped with his life, maybe the scene was too chaotic, and this guy took advantage of the chaos to escape.
After Su Yi left Shangjun County, he deliberately went to Wangjiazhuang, leaving two thousand sets of inferior armor and taking away the silver handed by the Wang family's housekeeper, Su Yi rushed back to Taohuazhai with his men and horses all the time.
After returning to Peach Blossom Village, Su Yi hurriedly asked people to seal the captured food and armor into the warehouse, these armor are the most elite armor and weapons of the imperial court.
These armors were sealed, and it would be of great use to Su Yi in the future when he wanted to pretend to be the elite officials of the imperial court.
In this era, as long as you have food in your hands, it is not very difficult to pull up an army.
Not long ago, there was news that there was a wave of thieves in the Central Plains, they were different from ordinary bandits, and they were not just robbing the money of the people and wealthy merchants, they gathered to capture the county, and then used the county seat as a base to continuously attack the city and plunder the land.
At first, the government of the Central Plains didn't care, thinking that these people were just a rabble, but as a result, they let them conquer three county towns in ten days, which attracted the attention of the imperial court.
This thief is indeed a rabble, most of their members are homeless and deserters, these people gather together, it is okay to fight a good fight, once they encounter the elite equipment of the officers and soldiers, they are simply crushed at the touch of a button, and there is not even a decent resistance.
