Chapter 267: The Orc Army
Heavy snow fell again in the northland, accompanied by howling winds, and the temperature dropped to the extreme. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe strong wind swept the snow on the ground and the snow falling from the clouds, the ground and the sky were white, the visibility was extremely bad, and it was almost impossible to see people from dozens of meters away.
The white-haired wind is synonymous with the devil in the grassland, and its appearance will always cause a large number of people and animals on the grassland to freeze to death.
Such weather, low temperatures, and visibility Datang have never seen these soldiers from Guanzhong, let alone adapted.
In just half a day, dozens of people were frostbitten and hundreds of people were sick. Drilling in the tent, one by one is still cold and shivering, and if you don't move, you can't walk in the wind outside the tent, and if you stay still, you will feel that your hands and feet are completely different from your own for a while.
Li Jing wanted to lead the army out in such weather, not to mention Zhang Gongjin, who was already opposed, and even Wei Chigong, who was very supportive, was a little hesitant.
In the end, Wei Chi Baolin, who acted as a guard, interjected and said, Wu Yuanqing has a lot of ghost ideas, you can ask him if there is a way.
The eyes of these giants in the army lit up, and they thought to themselves, yes, this can be had.
When Wu Yuanqing rushed from the moraine to Baidao, he didn't need to speak, and several giants felt that it was worth calling him just by seeing his outfit.
I saw that Wu Yuanqing was wrapped in fur all over his body, making himself look like an animal.
When Wu Yuanqing left Chang'an, he asked the family to make several sets of warm clothes. Now the body on the body is the warmest set, in addition to the thick clothes inside, the outside is a bearskin jacket. He wore two layers of gloves, one cloth on the inside and the same bear skin on the outside. The head is wearing a Lei Feng hat, which is also made of bear skin, and there is a bear skin scarf, although the legs are not bearskin pants, but they are tightly wrapped bear skin leggings, and the cowhide shoes on the feet are also wrapped in bear skin.
Just dressed like this, if he is seen by a hunter in the wild, he is designated to be hunted as a bear.
Although it is bloated and not good-looking, it is quite okay to keep warm.
"Yuanqing, what did you do with this body?"
"Warm or not"
Li Jing and Li Ji asked at the same time.
Well, Wu Yuanqing was dumbfounded, he didn't know what he was doing, he thought it was Manager Li who asked him to come to settle accounts after the autumn.
After listening to Li Jing's explanation, Wu Yuanqing looked embarrassed, of course his body was warm, but if he made this leather coat, the fur had to be specially processed to become soft, otherwise it would be dry and hard, and he couldn't make such clothes on his body at all
When Wu Yuanqing explained this, the light of hope in the eyes of Li Jing and the others became dim.
"It seems that there is no choice but to let the soldiers wear thicker clothes and force the march," Li Jing said.
"That's it," Li Ji shook his head helplessly.
Seeing that everyone was so disappointed, Wu Yuanqing was very embarrassed, and was about to retreat, when suddenly a picture flashed in his mind, only to see Wu Yuanqing turn his head: "That, let me ask, in addition to asking for warmth, do you have any requirements for other aspects, such as whether it is okay to say that it is not clothes." ”
"As long as you can keep warm, what else can you ask for?" Li Jing asked speechlessly.
"What, boy, do you have a way?" Wei Chi congratulated.
"If you only keep warm, you don't have to make clothes like mine, the little nephew has a way, but it's a little difficult, this method is used, but the soldiers can't take off their clothes and sleep before defeating the Turks, and they can't even take off the leather armor on their bodies," Wu Yuanqing said.
"What's so embarrassing about this, it's so cold, everyone won't take off their clothes and sleep, you think it's all like you" Wei Chigong said angrily
"What can I do?" Li Ji urged.
Wu Yuanqing didn't say how to do it, but directly asked someone to lead a cow to the outside of the tent, let people kill and skin it, and then opened a hole with a big head in the middle.
After doing this, Wu Yuanqing asked Yu Chi Baolin, who was a guard, to come over, and then directly put the cowhide like the door curtain on his body, the fur was on the outside, and the cortical fat side was on the inside.
Then Wu Yuanqing made two narrower cowhides and stuck them in two layers on his body, and there was also one layer on the helmet, so that his feet could only be wrapped. The legs are fur wrapped inwards and then wrapped with straps. The gloves on the hands are a bit more troublesome, but you can make a living by cutting them into two pieces of the right size, poking a few holes and tying them with leather strips.
The condition is this condition, there is no way to ask for too much.
Soon, Yu Chi Baolin's outfit was done.
"How about it, it's much warmer than before," Wu Yuanqing asked with a smile.
Yu Chi Baolin moved his arms and stretched his legs in a new way, feeling that it didn't affect his actions much, so he nodded happily: "Warm, much warmer, Yuanqing, you really have a way, all the soldiers are wrapped up like this, I think not to mention the current cold method, even if it is colder, everyone can bear it." ”
"Bah, crow's mouth, I can't stand the cold now, and if it's colder, I won't let people live" Wu Yuanqing was not angry.
"Hahaha" Watching the two bickering, Li Jing laughed heartily.
Some of the troops were captured cattle and sheep, Li Jing gave an order, and the whole army started to slaughter them, not only did all the 10,000 elite soldiers who went out in advance have to get a warm suit, but everyone in the follow-up army also had a share.
The strength of the people was great, and it was all done in half a day, only to see that the camp was full of skinless cattle and sheep carcasses. Except for the army that had a good meal, all the rest were cheap for the samurai's caravan not far from here.
And what the martial arts family paid for this was only the ration of the first 10,000 elites for twenty days.
In exchange for tens of thousands of cattle and sheep in exchange for such rations, although they have been skinned, they are still super cost-effective and super profitable.
Wu Yuanqing of Le smiled, and he couldn't see it anymore.
Wu Yuanqing also contributed all the more than 1,000 climbing plows of his own caravan, so that even if the army was bloated and had difficulty moving, it could sit on the climbing plow and gallop.
For Wu Yuanqing's sake for the sake of the army, Li Jing and the others appreciated it for 10,000 yuan, and then gave all the remaining more than 10,000 live cattle and sheep to the Wu family with a stroke of a pen, which was counted as the purchase money for these climbing plows.
That night, Li Jing, who was fully prepared, took advantage of the night to lead an army of 10,000 orcs to leave Baidao and march towards the Iron Mountain where Jieli Khan stayed.
More than a hundred meters away from the camp, the shadow of the army could no longer be seen in the white wind and snow.
Only the sound of the march could be heard.
"I hope that this time I can win Jieli in one fell swoop, otherwise if he escapes, there will be no peace at the border of Datang in the future," Li Ji sighed in the night.
