It's night! As the sky got later, the hot weather, which could have scorched people to death during the day, gradually became close to below zero.

Then, a bitter wind blew up, and a large amount of sand crackled with the night wind, hitting the face for a while, so that the night watchman was quite hard.

There are also military rations carried by the team, that is, some millet and pickled vegetables, which are quite difficult to swallow when eaten in the mouths of many modern people.

Other than that, everything went very smoothly.

Early the next morning, the training staff of the Fengrui team, even ignored the rookies, most of whom still needed to walk because of the wounds that had just scabbed.

They were still forcibly assembled for an hour of training.

Half an hour of time was used to practice plating, so as to lay a good foundation for future battle formation training.

The remaining half an hour is spent distributing weapons and equipment to the rookies.

Last night, Wolf Qing made a complete statistics on the materials, equipment, and other conditions that his personnel had successfully carried over.

Overall, the situation is quite good.

Among the materials brought over by Hu Biao and other old birds, only all the explosives bags, bird guns, and the basic raw materials for gunpowder were pulled down by the grandson of the system.

Other armor, weapons, etc.

Because of the strict attention paid to the materials, there is hardly any loss.

Medicine, food, and only a few things that contain a lot of chemical components have been removed by the system, and the rest can be said to have no effect.

In this way, with their abundant preparation before the start of the mission, they can naturally provide a group of rookies with more adequate equipment.

In terms of weapons, each person has a long spear or a large wooden club.

What needs to be explained here is that it is not that Hu Biao and the others brought not enough gun heads, so that some people can only use wooden sticks.

It's Hu Biao, who deliberately made some modifications to some sticks.

Specifically, a sharp dagger is sandwiched between one end of the stick, and it becomes a clamping knife stick that can not only be assassinated, but also used to smash.

This thing actually had a wide range of equipment in the border army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Mainly in the face of heavy armor tartars, often in the case of using knives and guns to cause effective damage, it is better to replace with this kind of big stick.

Because a big stick beckoned to the past, it could at least give the heavily armored tartar a serious internal injury.

Or even use a guy directly over and smash their heads.

In addition to the spear and the clamping stick, each rookie was given a dagger; Most of the others were given a one-handed crossbow, and a small number of those who could shoot arrows were given a bow.

For example, the configuration of sword and shield hands, because there are several old birds, they are not needed to fill them for the time being; Secondary weapons such as swords were not prepared for them.

In terms of armor, all the rookies have a shrunken piece of iron armor.

The reason for this is that the armor is made of a meagre 0.6 mm thick, and only one piece in front of the body, not at all.

Even if it is tied up with a rope and fastened to the body, it can only protect the chest and abdomen.

No way! A set of serious, well-protected and perfect iron armor with a weight of not less than 50 catties.

There are a total of 18 rookies, and if one person helps them bring a set, it will be close to a staggering weight of half a ton.

Hu Biao and they originally carried so many things on their own side, if there was such an extra burden, believe it or not, they could press out the for them?

Fortunately, such a severely shrunken armor, although it weighs only a little more than 12 pounds.

But Hu Biao and they have experimented, as long as they are facing the enemy head-on, they are actually quite good in terms of defense, and they can't shoot through directly at least at a distance of 30 meters with a six-bucket bow.

If you cut it with a knife, you basically can't cut it.

Accompanying this shrunken armor is a 1.4kg flying saucer helmet, which is also made of stainless steel with a leather lining and is quite protective.

Therefore, this time, these rookies are even better than Hu Biao in terms of equipment, and many of the old birds are better than Hu Biao in their last mission in Loess Fort.

After all, last time, they still didn't know the routine of the system, and many of the equipment they carried were pulled down by the system.

In addition, every old bird this time is almost armed to the extent of chrysanthemums.

So in this mission, under all kinds of careful preparations, I believe that Hu Biao and they will definitely be able to exert stronger combat effectiveness.

It's a pity that for such good equipment, there are still rookies who are not satisfied.

That was the half-breed Yanma of the war elephant, different from the excitement on the faces of the others when they wore the newly arrived equipment on their bodies.

Not only did this girl hold a bow provided by an old snake, with a pull force of almost 80 pounds, but she felt that compared to her own ancestral English longbow, it was very interesting in all aspects.

What's more, after other rookies tie the shrunken iron armor to their bodies, they can protect their whole body no matter how much they drop.

She's gone? I feel like I'm in a belly pocket......

******

On the second day after arriving at the mission world, Hu Biao and the others officially entered the desert at around 11 a.m.

This vast desert was later called the Taklamakan Desert; Luckily they don't have to cross the maximum distance, they should just pass diagonally at the edges.

After arriving here, the envoys of this mission, Guo Sui and Guo Cheng, also had to get out of his carriage, and after the carriage was temporarily abandoned, it was replaced by a horseback to advance.

Because from this moment on, their journey became more and more difficult.

But even in the march in the desert, Feng Rui, a training staff officer, still did not relax the training of rookies; Every morning and evening, I have to toss them for a while before letting go.

Anyway, they usually don't have the slightest respite at all except for sleeping; In order to allow a group of rookies to practice in the shortest possible time, not to mention how strong they can practice.

It is also necessary to have a little self-preservation after encountering a battle

Because these old birds, according to the task requirements of the first stage of the system, they can guess that they must have prepared a battle for them along the way.

If you don't improve the combat effectiveness of rookies as soon as possible, you are actually harming them.

Not to mention, in the next two or three days of training, Fengrui still gained quite a surprise; It's not just a group of rookies, but they are gradually getting a little bit of a look.

Because there is also the war elephant, the half-breed Yanma, in addition to being a little unruly in his attitude, but he is quite obedient to the orders issued.

And in terms of physical fitness and combat quality, they are quite good.

In addition, if the second fat person is a little stronger than an ordinary rookie, he really has some gaps compared to war elephants.

After a little breakfast on this day, the crowd continued to set out again.

In the words of the guide Ma San, if you use the current speed, you will be able to get out of this great desert in one day at most.

Next, it will take about two days to come to a large Gobi Desert.

Then, on the rest of the journey, everything will be fine, and everyone will see a big lake; For the rest of the way, just follow the Great Lake.

Don't worry about the water source, there are still a lot of big fish in the lake.

After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao and others naturally knew that the lake was the legendary Lop Nur based on their historical knowledge.

I thought of the modern plane after a thousand years, and such a large lake had completely disappeared and become a famous place of death.

Should I say it or not, Hu Biao and they really want to go over and take a good look at what kind of spectacular appearance it was before it dried up......

In the time that followed, Hu Biao and the others knew what the Sea of Death was.

Because as they enter the desert, there is no road at all along the way, but there is no need to worry too much, they will get lost in the process.

The reason is simple, because every once in a while, the undecayed remains of camels, horses, and even pedestrians appear.

There was no decay, it was before they rotted, and the wind had dried them of all their moisture, leaving only some dry flesh hanging from the bones.

And the corpses spread all the way forward, like signposts.

These are the prices paid by caravans over the years since the Silk Road was opened.

Truly! Whether the silk of the Han Dynasty was brought to Daqin, or the Han Dynasty was brought from Daqin, it could achieve an astonishing profit of hundreds of times.

But the degree of hardship is unimaginable.
