Soon, when the five thousand people had gathered together, these people looked at His Highness standing there, and they all took the initiative to dismount themselves, and none of them sat on their horses.

"Dress up." Li Ke pointed to the boxes piled up in front of him and said, with Li Ke's order, the cavalry behind him immediately rushed out of hundreds of people, and quickly opened the wooden boxes in front of them one by one.

And Murong Shun also began to beckon, these Tuyuhun soldiers lined up in a haphazard line to start receiving weapons here.

Inside the box, there was a scimitar with an extremely high curvature of the handle, Murong Shun had already checked it, and it was actually a good steel knife!

Each soldier came over and received a steel knife, and then the armor, when he saw those armors, Murong Shun's expression was somewhat strange, this armor ...... Isn't this the Mingguang Armor? Oh, it just seems that there are no sleeves, this is the Mingguang armor that gets rid of the sleeves, but judging from the degree of wear and tear of these armors, it should have been worn by the Tang Dynasty army before.

But even if it was worn by the Tang Army, it was Mingguang armor, and they didn't have a chance to wear it at all! Now everyone has a set!

Sure enough, when these armors were revealed, all the soldiers were overjoyed, although they didn't mind fighting for His Highness, but they thought that they were just wearing their own cowhide armor as before, but now they actually wore iron armor! They have fought against the Tang army, this kind of armor ...... Many times their chopping has no effect at all.

When everyone put on the armor, Li Ke let them lead the arrows again.

"Sixty arrows per person, you look at it, and if you can recover it after the battle, try to recycle it, and when the number is about the same, I'll replenish it for you when you come back!" Li Ke waved his hand and said very simply, these arrows are all iron arrows, which is actually very luxurious for these Tuyuhun people, because many of the arrows they used before were mixed and matched with wooden arrows and iron arrows.

Tuyuhun doesn't have that much iron.

But now Li Ke is using triangular iron arrows for them, not to mention, it can be seen from the appearance of these arrows that the quality is very good.

Li Ke now has no shortage of pig iron, the first blast furnace has begun to smelt pig iron, the second blast furnace will soon be built, the mold made of cast iron modules makes the production of arrows faster than the traditional way of building, and has been mastered by craftsmen Although the proportion of ceramic grinding wheels is incomparable with later generations, and it has also been improved into a belt drive, manual grinding wheel pedaled by manpower.

This polishing speed is more than a star and a half compared to the traditional polishing progress of Datang.

To be honest, Li Ke really didn't participate in this new grinding wheel, he just provided the production method of the crude grinding wheel, and he came up with the hand-cranked grinding wheel at the beginning.

But he didn't expect that the craftsmen under his name would soon turn this thing into a human grinding wheel that was pedaled by manpower through the ratio of large and small gears and then driven by belts.

The shape of this thing is a bit like a bicycle, and it can only be said that as long as they are given enough power and money, these craftsmen really have a lot of ideas to improve it.

"Yes!"

"You and a thousand cavalry around you have mastered the knife fighting method of these scimitars, and you can teach the rest of the people, and then, I have found you some targets, you can attack these people first." Li Ke said calmly, and as he spoke, he asked people to bring over two maps.

The maps have been redrawn again and have not diminished much in terms of topographical detail, except that the names of the places on them are marked according to the traditional way of calling Tuyuhun.

"The thirteen points marked on this are your next goal." Li Ke pointed to the thirteen points that had been marked on the map.

"Your Highness, what are these?" Murong Shun looked at these points curiously and asked.

"Horse thief." Li Ke spit out two words from his mouth.

Horse thieves or robbers are not uncommon in this Western Regions, to be precise, the largest number of horse thieves and robbers in the entire Western Regions, and they are also the biggest threat to various caravans on the Silk Road.

From the Tang Dynasty to Persia, there are almost all of them, such as Tuyuhun, there are actually a lot of them, and Murong Fuyun has not solved many of them before.

It's because they don't know the lair of many horse thieves, these horse thieves not only rob caravans, but also often rob various small tribes and so on, but there is one trading house they never dare to touch, and that is Yuelai Trading Company.

Without him, there are enough guards, and the focus is ...... The guards aren't afraid of death.

The guards of other trading houses, scare and scare, slash and kill one or two people, and the rest may just run away, these horse thieves have always been for money, because they will die if they fight for their lives.

No horse thief wants to fight for his life.

But Yuelai Commercial Bank is different, that dares to play with life.

The guards of the caravan are just that, and even some of the guys in the caravan, the shopkeeper, none of them flinched, and they were all not afraid of death.

Later, the reputation of the Yuelai Firm gradually spread among the horse thieves, and the caravans that met the Yuelai Firms were far away, this Merchant House was rich in thieves, and the armor worn in each of the clothes was better than theirs, not to mention, the weapons were all made of fine steel, and there were various protective measures to protect the long-range bow and arrow, the point was to be afraid of not dying.

It's really fighting with you, many people can even fight back and kill after being slashed a few times, this kind of person ...... Horse thieves are really scared too! Outlaws don't mean they're not afraid of death, outlaws don't have a choice because they're horse thieves, but fools know which is easy to grab, hard stubble or soft ideas.

There are so many trading houses, why can't you get along with yourself?

Later, when the horse thieves saw the Yuelai firm showing its flag, they didn't rob it, and even many horse thieves did business with the Yuelai firm, because they also wanted to eat, and the looted property had to buy food and things.

So gradually, these horse thieves didn't dare to say that all the old nest Yuelai trading houses knew, but the approximate scope of their old nest must be known.

What? Credibility, you say? What are you kidding, when did I Yuelai Comptoir do business with horse thieves, we were just passing by this place, and someone came to exchange things with us, so we just changed, as for what their identities are, the devil knows.

This is a tacit understanding.

Looking at the horse thief dens on the map, Murong Shun's heart was cold, these horse thieves are mainly nomads like Tuyuhun and they don't have a very good way, His Highness can actually get all their dens?

What Li Ke gave him were all the horse thief dens in Tuyuhun, a total of twelve.

"Remember, these horse thieves, I'm going to keep them alone. By the way, I will train you soldiers, their scale is not large, and the approximate number of people is marked on them, with your 5,000 cavalry is enough, in the process of fighting, try the method of dragging the knife, and then you improve it yourself. Li Ke admonished.

"Yes!" Murong Shun's face was grim, and then he bowed to Li Ke.
