Chapter 71: Old Wine

"Come here, check carefully!" staring at this extremely enthusiastic car boss, the eyes of the 13th Legion Thousand Elders showed suspicion from time to time.

The lame man in front of him is indeed a little suspicious, the news of the comeback of the Reaper Legion has completely collapsed tens of millions of people in the Huayu Plain - at this time, a piece of fake news can make all the fleeing people in several cities within a radius of a hundred miles run away, and the rumors are nothing more than that. Now, there are people who don't hide from the military disaster, but run hundreds of miles to deliver rewards...... It's just so unusual.

"Open the barrel, what's in it?" Seeing that the thousands of adults were so cautious, more than 10 instructors were like facing a great enemy, holding the 1.9-meter-long infantry gun tightly in their hands, and the tips of three or four 39-centimeter-long steel spears were pressed against the front chest and back of the car boss.

"Wine ...... Is it wine...... Soldier, don't take this iron guy*, it's cold and so sharp, maybe it will prick me with blood, I'm too nervous to stand up. The owner of the car stood twice with the barrel and did not stand up, his pants shaking - a person who has not been put to the point with a deadly weapon will not know that life and death are extremely cold at the thought of death.

"Are these buckets all open!" the faces and voices of the thousand elders were equally chilled.

There were four half-man tall barrels on the cart, and they were firmly tied to the cart by several finger-thick ropes, all of which were fastened with the strongest sailor's buckles.

"Of course, of course. The car boss saw that the spear on his chest and back moved away slightly, his face immediately calmed down a lot, smiled hard, and stood up while slapping the big wooden barrel!

Boom...... The large lid that was more than thick was lifted with a stick, and the rich aroma of wine immediately flapped its little wings and drilled into the noses of the soldiers around it......

This is obviously the bamboo leaf green that is a specialty of the Huayu Plain, and the first-class wine on the grassland, at a glance, it is green and green, revealing a cool air.

Smelling the aroma of the wine, the nomadic men immediately tossed up the toasting song on the grassland: "The wine is poured into the white porcelain cup, and you don't push the wine in front of you. ”

"The gold cup and silver cup are full of wine, the hands are raised above the head, fried rice, milk tea, and hand-grasped meat, and I can sing enough today. This wine is pure, this wine is thick. ”

The salivary glands of almost all the soldiers began to secrete at the same time, and the car owner could hear the young soldiers swallowing and spitting.

The two lords, Monton and Norton, were strictly controlled, and only high-ranking officers could enjoy the wine, and the amount of rations was very small. Ordinary soldiers have not drunk alcohol since they were assembled and trained, and they were so hungry that there seemed to be a few small hands in their throats and eyes, stretched out of their stomachs, desperately grabbing them, eager to catch all the barrels of wine in their stomachs.

Bang, bang, bang, the remaining three barrels were also pried open, but there was a lot of difference between the aroma of the wine and the first barrel, and the color looked very poor, and the face of the thousand adults immediately became ugly: "What is this?"

"My lord, this ...... It's also wine. The boss took off his felt hat and wiped the sweat beads on his face: "My lord, now the war is in chaos, I spent a lot of effort in the town to find this big barrel of good wine, these three barrels, I found them in an underground wine cellar, the master fled, it is estimated that the owner of the wine drank it himself, I brought them, you can let your soldiers drink it, if you really don't like it, then just throw it out." This is also true, Zhu Yeqing is used by rich and noble families to feast guests, and most people usually drink this kind of strong wine that smells very choking.

What the hell are these? The young car owner didn't understand. Hundreds of barrels of pitch black smelled oil, and in a long chant, slowly oozing out this transparent liquid, which looked almost exactly like old wine, and tasted about the same. However, the black-robed pastor repeatedly told him that this thing must not be drunk. Even if you drink more than 80% of the wine, you will still be poisoned - of course, this kind of poison does not appear immediately, and it usually slowly exudes from the body after a few hours, and even if you do not die on the spot, you will be permanently blind after poisoning. His grandmother's, the military advisor is really vicious, it seems that he can't offend him in the future.

The young car boss said these words very tightly, and the suspicion on the faces of thousands of adults faded little by little. In the army, only officers above the corps commander are rationed sake, and once the large barrel of bamboo leaves in front of him is delivered, it is estimated that the legion commander himself will have to keep half a barrel, and the remaining half a barrel will be distributed, and then the officers of the guard directly under the legion commander will rob it, and in the end, it is not bad for each thousand people to drop a small pot. If these three barrels of ordinary wine are scattered, I believe that the commander of the hundred people and even the officers of the rank of Wu Shi can taste it.

Qianrenchang's face was cloudy, but he also noticed that the eyes of dozens of soldiers next to him were staring directly at the continuous hops in the vat.

Alas...... Thousands of adults have softened their hearts, and they are soldiers, especially the Chi Aotian Army who has put their heads on their belts to face the ferocity, and they have no tomorrow one by one, life and death...... No one can say bad things. The thousand-person elder waved his hand and motioned for the car owner to enter through the gate.

"Okay, yours. The owner of the car lifted his butt and sat on the car, whistling with a seven-foot whip in the air, and drove the cart inside.

"Take him to the fireman's camp. Be careful, just let him put things down, don't let him in, to avoid trouble. "This is a good heart, in the march and battle, seven slashes and thirteen kills, except for the fire head army, without the order of the commander of the big battalion, anyone who enters the fire man camp without permission will be executed on the spot. The siege of Fangang City did not go well, and the faces of the two commanders had never looked good, and whoever made any small mistakes at this time had to take off a layer of skin if they didn't die.

"Wait!" a loud roar was heard in the distance, with an orangutan tail in it.

Hearing such a voice, all the officers and soldiers of the Thirteenth Army Corps were shocked. A team of patrol soldiers came over from due west, the owner of the car glanced up, and hurriedly lowered his head in fright, his body trembled suddenly, and muttered: "Mom...... How do these soldiers look ......?"

The soldier who came from a distance was not very tall, or relatively thin, but he looked very lean, with two pointed ears standing high, a mouth that was either thin or square, a scarlet tongue that appeared from his mouth from time to time, and a stream of white haze was scattered and faded in the cold wind.

At first glance, this patrol warrior and werewolf soldiers are somewhat similar but not identical, a little ...... Looking at his face, he looks a little like the fiercest fierce dog and the most cunning silver fox in the snowfield.

The owner of the car also noticed that these Fanos soldiers were wearing chain mail! This is a very serious problem.

In the previous wars, with the exception of heavy infantry warriors such as orcs and bears, all of the Fanos soldiers had poor armor - if not negligible. If this group of soldiers is not the personal follower of a certain big man, then it can only mean one thing: the military strength and logistical supply of the Phanos Legion are already ahead of the Empire.

In the empires of the Eminole continent, standard armor is divided into seven types of conventional armor according to price: paper armor, cloth armor, leather armor, gold skin mixed armor, chain armor, plate leaf armor, and cast armor.

As the name suggests, paper armor is cut into armor with thick paper, and a uniform font size is written on the front and back to indicate the soldier's identity in the army, which is simply equal to zero in terms of defensive capability.

Cloth armor, also known as cotton armor or wool armor according to the different textures, is a relatively thick cloth or felt sewn with armor, and the key parts are lined with iron sheets.

Leather armor is already the standard armor of the Amy Empire, and all swordsman units are equipped with leather armor as standard. Leather refers to cowhide and horse leather, and after nitration, it is not further tanned, but uses the natural toughness of leather to defend. A whole piece of cowhide, up to three pieces of leather armor. The defense of leather armor is already quite good, especially for cutting weapons such as standard one-handed swords and moon-washing scimitars. Poor defense against bows and arrows, bayonets, and especially knight sprint guns.

The Golden Leather Mixed Armor is the standard armor of the infantry of the ordinary troops of the Amy Empire, and a large number of metal leaves are added to the key parts of the front and back of the leather armor, and the defensive parts are also extended to the position below the shoulder, which greatly increases the defense against bows and arrows. Depending on the shape of the metal leaves, the gold-skinned mixed armor is also known as the scale armor and the ring armor.

Chain mail is already the standard armor of the elite army of the Amy Empire, that is, only about 20% of the imperial army is likely to approve such armor. Chain mail is divided into two layers, the inner layer is the cut cowhide - that is, the cowhide is cut from the middle, and the inner layer is tanned softly, this layer of cowhide not only has a certain defensive power but also keeps warm to ensure that the soldier's skin will not be worn out.

The outer layer of chain mail is hundreds of small rings, made of wire with a diameter of about 2 mm, calcined and twisted into a ring with a diameter of about 1 cm after heating, and beaten into a flat ring about 3 mm wide, and small eyes with a diameter of about 1 mm are punched out at both ends of the ring, and after being covered with each other, they are connected with rivets with a diameter of one millimeter. It is not easy for the best blacksmith to make 20×20 cm lock pieces a day.

The defense ability of chain mail is quite high, except for the longbow and strong crossbow, other arrow feathers cannot penetrate the chain mail at all. With the exception of the Knight's frontal assault, all other standard sharps cannot penetrate chain mail. If you add a good full helmet and neck guard, it is already difficult to beat.

The plate leaf armor is woven with the same metal ring on the outside of the chain mail, according to the body shape of different knights, the whole steel plate is smashed into shape, which are metal gloves, metal arm guards, metal shoulder guards, front and rear heart guards, leg guards, etc. Most of the time, these armors are infused with rare metals, and they are a solid mess. Most parts of the plate leaf armor are angular, which is to effectively change the direction of the arrow's feathers. With the exception of knights hedged or shot from parts other than armor by a longbow, warriors with plate leaf armor are basically immune to all sharp weapons.

Cast armor, which is the armor most commonly referred to by soldiers, is generally composed of three or more layers, from helmets to boots, all of which are metal, and are screwed together with rivets or screws on the arms, neck, waist and other moving parts. Excellent Forged Armor, even if the Knight is pierced by a knight's spear during the Knight's frontal charge, it will not be pierced, and the Forged Armor is immune to almost all standard weapons. The only solution to dealing with a warrior with cast armor is to use a blunt weapon such as a two-handed war hammer of more than 20 catties directly on the head or chest and other vital positions, and use huge kinetic energy to crush the internal organs wrapped in the back of the cast armor.

Previously, the reason why the elite troops of the empires of the Eminole continent were able to fight a tie with the Fanos army was that the sophisticated weapons and armor had a great advantage, otherwise, in a head-on conflict, few humans could compete with the Fanos orcs. Eminole's largest iron ore mines, including Hamburg, are all in the mountains, and they should still be in the hands of Eminole's forces, so have new deposits been discovered?

"Your lord, it's your duty to explain to me what this is?" the officer leading the team stood coldly at the gate of the camp, speaking in a tone that was colder than the weather. Behind him, more than 50 Phanos soldiers simply surrounded all the soldiers, including the 13th Legion's thousand-man commander, in the middle, and one by one the snowy scimitars were blocked in front of their chests, and the blind man could also see the strong hostility in them.

Hmm? The car boss's brows furrowed slightly, why? In this way, there seems to be a contradiction between the Fanos soldiers and the instructors.

I can't say: don't forget the century-old national shame!
