Chapter 219: The Western Regions, Here We Come
Two days later, in the middle of the night.
Looking at an oasis in front of him that was extremely quiet under the moonlight, even if the gusts of night wind blowing at this moment were close to zero degrees in the words of the leaders, blowing on people was a little cold.
But under the command of Yang Dongli and others, Fan Lie, who was already the captain of the ten, was still full of indescribable fiery heart.
Because it is not surprising, today will be the official first battle after the bald thieves formed an army, and their reputation will be officially praised in the Western Regions from now on.
Their target today is a gang of sand thieves in the oasis.
According to information from the surrounding herdsmen, the group of sand thieves is about 300 people.
And the leaders have made it very clear in their mouths just now, in order to test their actual combat effectiveness after some training, no one will make a move in this battle.
Even the cannon fodder warriors of the small tribe of more than 200 people would only surround the oasis and capture prisoners.
In this way, they only have 113 official members of the bald thieves, and 21 war slaves, who officially participate in this battle, and they are not even half of the number of opponents.
But even so, his heart was still full of confidence in victory.
Not only because they will take the form of a sneak attack tonight, but the opponent does not seem to have the slightest defense; The key is that Fan Lie and others are full of confidence in their equipment.
On him, a half-breastplate had been hammered out with a hydraulic hammer.
It is the one that can only protect the chest and abdomen of the front half of the body, and the one that is tied with a leather rope at the back; In terms of thickness, it is only about 1.2 mm.
and a helmet with a leather inlaid with steel sheets,
However, even the leather armor is only the elite Western Regions, and this thing is completely as strong as a turtle shell.
In addition, underneath the breastplate, there is a sackcloth armor that is glued together with linen cloth and rabbit glue to defend against the fire of wolf's fangs and arrows.
It is equivalent to two layers of armor on the body, and it is completely a strong defense that Fan Lie and other Hu people are native, and they dare not think of it.
The weapon is a scimitar, a horse bow, two barrels, and a total of 60 sharp arrows.
The horse bow is counted, but it is just ordinary goods seized from the horse bandits; However, scimitars and arrowheads are all made of fine steel.
And a scimitar suitable for cracking, he fell in love with this weapon as soon as Fan Hunt came into contact with it.
Even if I estimate it privately, just one such treasure knife can be exchanged for a herd of cattle and sheep and a number of women; Fan Lie never thought of selling it.
Because this treasure knife is his second life in the future, and it is more important than his future wife......
In fact, when Wolf Qing was producing half breastplates, scimitars, and these equipment, he still planned it in his heart, and finally after some careful consideration, he proposed the above types of equipment at the meeting.
In the end, it was unanimously agreed by everyone that such a choice was reached.
Because compared to the thousands of pieces of armor and the processing of a craftsman for a long time, it can be completed.
On the contrary, after forging a hammer with powerful hydraulic power, a half-breastplate that can be continuously hammered and formed is easier to produce.
And there is no need to worry about the materials at all, because after the earth blast furnace is officially put into operation, the output of a day's production, they can produce hundreds of catties of steel.
Compared with the modern plane, a furnace of molten steel can reach a terrifying output of 600,000 catties, and this steel is naturally nothing.
But it is also enough for the natives of the henchmen under Wolf Qing's opponents, and each person comes with a piece of armor weighing only about 20 pounds.
As for such a kind of armor similar to plate armor, the appearance of almost thousands of years in advance will have some bad impact on the history of the Central Plains in later generations.
There's nothing to worry about, because as long as they don't leak it; For a long, long time in the future, the Hu people of the Western Regions will not be able to master such a forging technique as a scimitar.
Besides, they also need to have qualified steel, and the plate armor they make can be used.
In terms of weapons, taking out the scimitar is also bullying the Hu people in the Western Regions, and it will take a long time to solve the problem of craftsmanship.
And how effective is such equipment in terms of specific results?
In the case of large-scale equipment, of course, it is so strong that there are no friends.
I saw that after the spear that Lao Yang was holding in one hand was raised high to the time it was flattened, more than a hundred subordinates and war slaves were beating the war horses.
After passing the figure of the group, he slew towards the oasis.
Maybe it's because you have been killing me and I killing you for many years, but the sand thieves in the oasis are actually quite quick to react.
As soon as the sound of horses' hooves sounded, a number of shirtless sand thieves rushed out of the huts and tents they lived in with weapons, and they were extremely vigilant.
Although they were taken by surprise, they had more than half of the numerical advantage, and according to normal reasoning, they could also cause a lot of casualties to Yang Dongli and others' subordinates.
But in fact, after counting the war slaves, there were casualties of one death and three serious injuries.
The main reason is that it is the bronze weapon in the hands of the sand thieves, and under normal circumstances, it cannot cause fatal damage to these people at all.
It's night! Hu Biao and others captured 167 prisoners of war and were directly incorporated into the ranks of war slaves.
The kind that was watched and escorted by Fan Hunt and others.
The rest of the loot was just about 20 women, some equipment and horses, and some food, and the rest was given to the cannon fodder.
So much so that the day after they returned, a number of surrounding tribes came to take refuge, so that they could follow the 'bald thieves' next time they acted.
It needs to be explained that Fan Lie and the other eleven killed three people in a row in the battle that night, and because of their outstanding performance, they were assigned a woman with a big ass.
Ajiwu and the other five war slaves were beheaded two levels each in the battle, which was regarded as handing in a qualified vote, so they were also released from the war slaves.
And because of the above examples, the remaining henchmen and war slaves have skyrocketed their will to fight.
******
With the sound of 'driving~', the war horse under the crotch let go of the speed and galloped under Hu Biao's whipping.
In the position behind him, a total of 26 people, including Ban Chao, Gan Ying, Ma San, Tian Xi, AT, Xu Feng, and War Elephant, also galloped up in the case of one person riding two or three horses.
Mixed with the hot breath and hot wind, they rushed towards them with gravel, and hit them with a faint pain in their faces.
But such a feeling makes them feel indescribably happy, because now they only have one thought in their hearts:
Western Regions, we are here~
In the sixteenth year of Yongping, early autumn.
When the will of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty, with the envoy arrived in the Dou Gu army, Ban Chao finally removed the word "fake" before the official position of fake Sima.
Don't look at the official position of 'Sima', it is not as loud as 'Da Sima'.
But under Dou Gu, a great general, there are only five Simas in total, and the five of them are responsible for part of the military affairs, which is already quite awesome.
Of course, for Hu Biao, who has long known this history, the reaction in their hearts is just mediocre.
The thing that really excited them was that after being idle for so long, with their bones a little itchy, they could finally start their trip to the Western Regions again.
Before leaving, Dou Gu originally thought of sending a little more troops and manpower to Ban Chao's subordinates.
But Ban Chao said that there was no need to rashly increase other manpower, as long as he continued to bring Gan Ying and other guards, as well as Hu Yitong's subordinates, and then went to Shanshan Congress to meet Yang Dongli and others.
Because if the situation changes, everyone is not familiar with it at all, not only will they not be able to adapt to the situation, but they will also cause some trouble.
After hearing such a statement, Dou Gu thought for a while, and immediately agreed in his mouth.
The main thing is that he also knows that he is sending more people to Ban Chao, and if he reaches the sky, he will add one more tun, a Han army of 100 people.
If there is really a big change, these 100 people really can't solve the essential problem.
However, before Ban Chao and the others left, Dou Gu gave Ban Chao a black mouth and yellow horse of the gods, which was even stronger than the war horse of the original Hun envoy of the war elephant.
Presumably, in case the situation changes, Ban Chao can ride this fast horse and run away.
After realizing such a point, Hu Biao and the others were so depressed that they looked down on them......
