Dadheone grimaced, just nodded slightly, "That's okay!" He turned his face to look at Zhang Bai and said, "I will arrange the camp where the king rests as soon as possible, there are still some extra horses and weapons in the barracks, enough for you to provide a few of you, send someone to pick some, I hope you can ride horses." After speaking, he didn't look at Zhang Bai, arranged for the officer to take them, and then left on his own

Zhang Bai bowed to his back and respectfully thanked Dad Hebone.

He was secretly ecstatic in his heart, did this mean to form a personal guard cavalry? Think about the history of the previous life, the Manchu Qing Nurhachi claimed to be thirteen pairs of armor to raise troops, and finally destroyed the Ming Dynasty, which was once prosperous. He seems to be much stronger than Nurhachi, after all, there are more than 20 subordinates, and there are immortal cultivators like Ma Ge Qingchi, the armor is heavy armor, and the horses are tall Western Regions horses.

The most important thing is that we have an air force with a spaceship, and the cavalry on this ship is not the Marine Corps?

No, no, it's not the Navy, it's not the Marine Corps...... Belch...... Or would it be called the "Air Force Cavalry Team"? Zhang Bai snickered, as if it was a little interesting, hehe.

However, it was the original officer who took them to see the horses and weapons, which was a little unpleasant before, but fortunately, Zhang Bai relied on the skills of the merchant life in his previous life, and after a few compliments, he actually started talking. The officer's name was Solomon, and it so happened that he was an Armenian.

Zhang Bai couldn't help but ask with some suspicion: "Why are there so many Armenians in the Parthian army?"

Solomon was a little surprised: "Is there a lot? I'm the only one here, have you met other Armenians?"

"I've met several people in the capital, most of them soldiers," Zhang Bai replied.

"I see, it is not surprising," Solomon proudly explained, "that we are mountainous in Armenia, and there is barren land everywhere, and no good harvest can be grown. Therefore, in addition to grazing, every household with a strong man often joins foreign mercenaries. Being a mercenary is dangerous, but it earns a lot of money, and I have a mother and younger siblings, so I hope I can make them live a better life. Besides, Armenia is a small country, and if it is attacked, we, the veterans, will have the ability to go back and save the Motherland. ”

"I see, no wonder the Armenians I met were very skilled. Zhang Bai complimented quietly.

"We've been trained since we were kids, we're used to the battlefield, so most of us are veterans or officers. You're from the East, look like you. What are you like there, do you fight and fight every year?"

"Who says it's not?" Zhang Bai made a helpless expression, "It's been decades of fighting, and roughly calculated that one or two million people have died!"

Solomon was astonished, he was so hot that he was now wearing a helmet between his arms, and a stubbled face was exposed, "One or twenty million, which is more than the population of all the whole of Rome, and Parthia and Kushan combined." He looked at Zhang Bai with wide eyes, and when he saw that Zhang Bai looked indifferent, he was stupid for a while, and suddenly changed his face and said, "Hey, you little guy, are you bragging?"

Zhang Bai didn't refute, but also laughed, Solomon lightly hammered him with his fist, and said with a smile: I like you kid, no wonder you can be the king's courtier!

Soon Solomon arranged for everyone to live, the king lived in a large tent alone, Zhang Bai and Ma Ge, Chen Cao, and Zheng Xuan lived in another room next to the king's tent, and the rest of his retinue and soldiers were arranged in other tents a little further away.

While they were settled, Solomon made a trip back to his tent, and returned with a few soldiers with him. He was almost dressed in civilian clothes, with no helmet or most of the heavy armor, only a chain mail on his upper body. At this time, he could be seen to be a handsome young man in his twenties, with blonde hair, and instead of a beard, he had shaved like a Roman, but not cleanly.

"When you are all settled, come with me to choose weapons and horses!" said Solomon. Zhang Bai agreed, and immediately followed. Brother Ma was also called by him and followed along.

They got to the arsenal first. In the barracks of the battlefield, it is said that it is an arsenal, but in fact it is just a circle of a place with a few tents, and weapons and armor are piled up in the open air.

"Each person can pick a saber or sword, a heavy weapon, a bow, a pair of outer and inner armor, okay, you can choose!" Solomon said and left them alone, and went directly to chat with an acquaintance next to him.

Zhang Bai's eyes lit up a little, although in his eyes, cold weapons were not necessarily very powerful, but the important thing was quantity. The soldiers of this era, the regular troops and the bandits and bandits held similar weapons, the difference lies in the training of the soldiers, as well as the quality and uniformity of protective gear and weapons.

For example, the Yellow Turban Army a few decades ago, although there were many people, the quality of weapons was inferior and uneven. The better ones have a spear in their hands, and the tip of the spear is fast iron, and the rest of the parts are wood or even bamboo. The few who captured a shield could not be gathered. I can't say anything about the close, and there are many people with hoes and sticks. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army was very poor, and it was often defeated by officers and soldiers with less.

Zhang Bai had been preparing to form a relatively well-established and small army, although he had gathered some men in Peshawar before, but the weapons were only temporarily sponsored by Suraj, and the combat effectiveness was still not up to the requirements. At that time, Zhang Bai had to use Jianmu to make spearheads for everyone, although the attack power was greatly enhanced, but the armor protection was still very insufficient. From time to time, he wondered how he could improve the situation.

And now it is full of standard weapons, and there are expensive armor and helmets everywhere, which saves Zhang Bai a lot of work.

He immediately let go and picked it up, a pair of helmets and inner armor, and one for each person in the saber or saber team. The black soldiers and the Central Plains retinue each had a pair of armor, but they did not carry heavy weapons, because there were already wooden spears. Zhang Bai himself and Brother Ma didn't want external armor, on the one hand, they thought it was too heavy and stuffy, on the other hand, both of them had protective skills, Brother Ma knew how to defend himself, and Zhang Bai had the red robe of the sect leader.

After Zhang Bai specially helped Chen Cao Zheng Xuan pick out two heavy spears and a full suit of armor, he suddenly thought of another thing. I read in the history books in my previous life that it seemed that the Parthian compound bow was the best in the world at that time, with a long range and light weight, and it was a short bow that was easy to carry, or a direct predecessor of Genghis Khan's Mongolian bow. He immediately picked out a bow for each of them, and received a lot of arrows, and then he was ready to return with a full load.

Solomon called the soldiers around him and told them to send the weapons they had picked up to their tent, and he took Zhang Bai and Ma Ge to the stables again.
