Chapter 210 is outrageous

"How many of you are here?" Li Ke turned to Lu Hai and asked.

"Your Highness, a total of 772 camels, 1,322 pack horses, 776 members of the trading house, a total of 3,300 stone of grain, and ...... in addition to that," Lu Hai hurriedly replied.

"Stop, stop, I'll report on these later, gather these members in a while, I met them, I didn't have a chance before, but now I have a chance to meet them." Li Ke said seriously.

"Yes!" Lu Hai said respectfully, this is His Highness, he will always remember us people.

Li Jing's expression was a little strange, mainly because of this number...... Far beyond Li Jing's imagination, more than 700 camels and more than 1,000 pack horses, this number is already very terrifying. You must know that their army set out from Tuyuhun in the early stage, and there were not so many local government soldiers who prepared logistics locally!

This is the power that His Royal Highness can bring out?

"Huo Gang." Li Ke said.

"The minister is here."

"Lu Hai, you send someone to arrange a caravan to follow Huo Gang to unload the goods."

"Yes, Your Highness. We have already brought the tent you requested, Your Highness, and we will help you set up the tent first. Lu Hai said seriously.

"Good!" Li Ke thought about it and didn't refuse, this was his request, which was related to some strategies later.

"Little Liu, let people arrange all the camel teams, follow Huo Gang's command, and set up His Highness's tent first." Lu Hai turned around and said directly.

"Yes!"

Li Jing didn't stop him, Li Ke's thoughts had already been communicated with him, but there were not many people under him in this area, so he just needed to cooperate.

When their caravan entered the camp, in the area that had been selected in advance, Li Jing was stunned to see that these people had unloaded several large discs like stone mills from several camels, and then the caravan's craftsmen began to fix these stone mills with ropes to tamp the ground.

Li Jing: "Isn't ......" outrageous? Isn't it still a felt tent when you build a ledger? Isn't it over just building on the grass? What are you doing here?

Then Li Jing saw an even more outrageous ...... The craftsmen first compacted the ground for the tent area reserved for Li Ke, and then Li Jing watched as they unloaded river sand, gravel, etc. from the camels, and then unloaded some gray powder in burlap bags.

When they mixed these things together and turned them into gray mud, Li Jing saw that they had laid them all on the ground that had just been tamped and framed with wood.

Seeing this, Li Ke smiled with satisfaction, which means that they have also made cement here in the Western Regions, not bad! This order was naturally given by Li Ke, and after Li Ke asked Tian Meng to make these near Chang'an, he had already sent the technically trained craftsmen in the trading house to the Western Regions.

The layout of the Western Regions is very important to Li Ke, and to a certain extent, the Western Regions is Li Ke's base camp, although it seems that these countries in the Western Regions are not under Li Ke's control.

But look, isn't Li Ke here now!

"Okay, don't worry about these for now, did I ask you to bring the special weapons you brought?" Li Ke beckoned Lu Hai and the others aside, and then asked.

"Brought."

"Let's go, unload over there." Li Ke pointed to the place of the logistics warehouse.

Lu Hai immediately beckoned someone to bring some special camels to the warehouse area and began to unload them directly, and Li Jing naturally followed up curiously.

"What is this?" Li Jing looked at the weapons unloaded from the camel with some curiosity.

"A new weapon, I want Dai Guogong to test it for me." Li Ke asked with a calm face.

"Oh?" Li Jing was a little curious, as a general, he naturally knew a lot about weapons, and he was naturally curious about the new weapons in Li Ke's mouth.

Soon when the first batch of goods was unloaded, Li Ke asked people to bring one over, and a knife that was a little strange in Li Jing's eyes appeared in his sight.

"What is this?" Li Jing looked at it curiously.

"Machete!" Li Ke's mouth spit out two words, "I have improved the weapon that is very conducive to cavalry combat." ”

Li Jing took the knife a little strangely, and then pulled out the knife directly, its length was not even as long as the Tang knife, but it had an amazing arc, very skewed.

If there are any future generations, you will be able to recognize that this is the famous Mongolian scimitar!

Although Li Ke was Han in his last life, he was born in the Hetao region of Inner Mongolia and lived in Inner Mongolia, so he was naturally no stranger to Genghis Khan.

Regardless of the rest of Mongolia, just talking about the fighting power of the Mongolian army and its ability to sweep across the Eurasian continent and create an unprecedented perverted territory, then its weapons and tactics must be superior.

In fact, Da Song is really not weak to some extent, really not that weak.

As an Inner Mongolian person, Li Ke naturally knows a lot about the history of Genghis Khan's period, first talk about the Mongolian scimitar, the formation of the Mongolian scimitar in later generations is said to be borrowed from the Arab scimitar, but in fact, this statement is not accurate, to be precise, when the Mongols first rose, the scimitar and the Mongolian scimitar of later generations are still very different, but more like the Turkic scimitar.

After the rise of the Arab Empire, with the passage of time, the Arabs learned the style of the Turkic scimitar, and then began to improve. Later, after the Mongols who inherited the Turkic scimitar defeated the Arabs, the Mongols began to improve again.

And this kind of weapon can run rampant in the world with the Mongolian iron horse, and there is definitely a reason for it. Many people say that the Mongolian cavalry fights the world with cavalry archery, but this is not entirely true, the Mongolian cavalry is also very strong in frontal combat in addition to cavalry archery.

And this is where the Mongolian scimitar comes into play, Li Ke has watched a lot of film and television dramas related to Genghis Khan, one of which is the real use of the scimitar by the Mongolian cavalry.

When you put the scimitar in your right hand with the blade facing outward, and then rush towards the enemy, you will use the impact of the horse to cut through the enemy's armor and head. And in this process, the cavalry does not stop.

In the TV series "Genghis Khan", the scenes of the Mongolian cavalry stopping and slashing with the enemy with a scimitar are mostly wrong, and when using a scimitar, the Mongolian cavalry rarely stops and fights with the enemy, because the cavalry that has lost its speed does not pose any threat.

When forced to fight each other, the Mongol cavalry did not use scimitars, but iron axes and iron bones. Iron Guduo is a bit like a mace, but the head is smaller, or it is a variant of the hammer, except that the head is like iron spikes.

In fact, whether it is the Mongolian cavalry or the Tang cavalry, they all have different weapon ratios, and the weapons used for different types of armor and different types of enemies are naturally different.

However, there are better weapons, Li Ke naturally wants to test, Li Ke does not understand cold weapon warfare, but he feels that the cold weapons that can flourish in history definitely have their excellence.

So Li Ke built a thousand Mongolian scimitars, come and test them, in fact, the arc of these Mongolian scimitars is also the arc that Li Ke asked people to test privately on horseback using the method of dragging knives, and constantly test the efficiency of various arcs by using straw man stakes, etc., and finally summed it up, including the length.

"How does this work? Why was this made? The Turks are also scimitars, but the arc is not as big as this, and I don't think it is easy to use. Li Jing was a little puzzled.

"Lu Hai, come to someone, test it." Li Ke said loudly.

"Yes!" Lu Hai immediately called two caravan escorts over.

Li Jing was curious, but he didn't bother, he wanted to see how this scimitar was played.
