Chapter 507: The Western Regions Trio (Part 2)
Tang Ji stood on the side of the school grounds of the military camp and watched the soldiers inside practice.
This is an army armed to the teeth.
The good equipment made Tang Ji, who had been through the army for a long time, shocked him. When he was still in Lu Long's army, he had fought against many Wuwei troops and fought head-on with Li Ze's personal guard camp. However, the equipment of the army in front of him was even better than that of Li Ze's personal guard camp. Although there were only 500 people, in Tang Ji's eyes, these 500 people were enough to deal with ten times their enemies, if their enemies were as good as Lu Long's army.
"Li Xiang said that what he could do was to give this army the most powerful combat power in the world." Li Hai smiled and said, "So, they have the best equipment in the world."
He reached out to attract the soldier closest to them, suddenly reached out to pull out a horizontal knife from his waist, and slashed at the soldier with a shout. Obviously, the soldier was also startled and subconsciously waved his arms to block it.
The sword arms intersected. With a sound, Tang Ji watched the soldier's armour sink and deflect when the armour armor touched the blade. He couldn't help but nod. At the intersection of the sword armor, sparks flew everywhere. The soldier had already stepped back several steps. As Li Hai put his knife into the sheath, the soldier kept shaking his arms, and his arms were obviously numb.
"I used six or seven points of strength to use this knife, which is equivalent to an ordinary person's full force." Li Hai said, signaling the soldier who had been stabbed inexplicably, and grabbed his arm and raised it in front of Tang Ji, with a crack in his arm armor.
"Go and change a pair of arm armor." Li Hai ordered.
Seeing the soldier flying away, Tang Ji couldn't help but feel heartbroken. A set of arm armor with such good quality is probably not cheap. If he had carried a bag on the dock in the past, he would have been afraid that he would not be able to buy a pair of wages for a month. Now, just to show it to himself, he was destroyed without any money.
As if he understood Tang Ji's thoughts, Li Hai smiled and said, "This arm armor is not as expensive as you think. Our Wuwei has a unique secret in smelting steel and making weapons. This arm armor costs about ten taels of silver, and the main cost is still to be polished later."
"Ten taels of silver are cheap." Tang Ji felt a little itchy.
"This is the latest style. When we mass-produce it, the price will drop." Li Hai said uneasy. "You will get your equipment later, which is better than theirs."
Tang Ji nodded, thinking that he was better than these soldiers, wouldn't he be invulnerable to swords and guns.
Yuan Chang slowly said, "No matter how good the equipment is, it is necessary to be able to be effective. The soldiers of the Tang lieutenant, these soldiers, were selected from the troops directly under Li Xiang's command, and were all formal members of Yixing Society."
"Yixing Society" Tang Ji was a little confused.
Yuan Chang smiled and said, "I forgot that you don't know about this. Everyone in Yixing Society is absolutely loyal to Li Xiang. If Li Xiang asks them to die, they will not hesitate at all. Therefore, you don't have to have any doubts about the loyalty and combat effectiveness of this army. Even if there is only the last person left, they will fight to the end."
"Ambassador Yuan, General Li, you are also members of Yixing Society," asked Tang Ji.
"I am." Yuan Chang said, "General Li can only be considered an activist now."
Li Hai smiled and said, "It's this activist, and it's still guaranteed by the governor Pei, but when this trip to the Western Regions comes, I'll probably become a formal member. The level must be further improved."
"I am not a member of Yixing Society. These soldiers will listen to me," Tang Ji asked.
"They follow your orders and don't care whether you are a member of Yixing Club. What they care about is that you are the general appointed by Li Xiang." Yuan Chang said, "Of course, if you are interested in joining Captain Tang, I will slowly introduce to you the origin, purpose and goals of Yixing Club along the way. If you think you are like-minded, Yuan can also become your recommender."
"Person Tang, don't underestimate this referee. Once he introduces you to Yixing Society, he will be responsible for you for life. If something happens to you, he will also be jointly and severally responsible." Li Hai said.
"I understand," Tang Ji said.
Li Hai handed Tang Ji a booklet and said, "Captain Tang, this is our military discipline in Wuwei, both infantry and cavalry. The five hundred people we led are cavalry, and the dismount are infantry. You must memorize this military discipline and be familiar with it."
Tang Ji was a little puzzled by the "Military Exercise".
Li Hai nodded, "Yes. This is the biggest difference between our Wuwei army and the army you were in before. Whether it was the Tang army or the Lulong army in the past, the army had the distinctive colors of their respective generals. They had their own killing methods, and they might not be very smart when they were replaced by individuals. But the Wuwei army is different. All Wuwei army is used by this Cao Dian, and all the tactics and commands are strictly stipulated. The personal characteristics of the general can only be based on a unified Cao Dian. In this way, an army, even if it is replaced by generals in the last battle, will not be blocked on command. At the same time, our Wuwei army often adjusts defenses, and does not change the generals, and does not change the generals."
Tang Ji felt a stern. This was not only an order for the army to unify, but also prevented the generals from staying in a certain team for too long to cultivate their own system. After you have worked in this army for a few years, you can transfer you to another army and everything will be fine.
"I will use the fastest time to memorize this sacred script." Tang Ji said.
"This time, in addition to the regular army of 500 people, there are another 500 people, including armed personnel, but the most among them are all kinds of technical personnel, such as carriage maintenance personnel, armor and weapons repair personnel, as well as those who know drawing, civil engineering, and a whole medical team. All of these people are treasures. Although they also have certain combat capabilities, they are incomparable to soldiers. In this process, we must do our best to protect their safety." Yuan Chang said. "Our specific division of labor is like this. I am responsible for the general affairs and commercial transactions. Li Hai leads the army. You are Li Hai's deputy and are responsible for the command of the other 500 people. After entering the Western Regions map, you also need to be responsible for contacting our local Tang survivors, and even conducting corresponding negotiations with the people there. Where are you more familiar with than us."
"knew."
"Go and see our baby," Li Hai suggested, "As the third leader of this team, Captain Tang needs to know everything."
The three of them arrived at the side of the military camp. There were warehouses one by one. When they walked to the one at the edge, Yuan Chang signaled the soldiers guarding the gate to open the gate. Even if they were in the military camp, they were under high alert.
When he opened the door and walked in, Tang Ji was stunned, because there were only two large boxes in the middle of the huge warehouse. What made him slightly curious was that the outside of these two boxes was actually wrapped in iron plates.
Li Hai lifted the box and there were small grids inside. Each grid was filled with a bottle wrapped tightly in cotton. The mouth of the bottle was sealed and a twisted hanged down.
Carefully took out a bottle from the small grid and held it in the palm of your hand. Li Hai said, "Do you know what this is?"
Tang Ji shook his head.
"How could you know Zhang Zhongwu's defeat by the banks of the Yi River?" Li Hai said.
"Tian Lei" Tang Ji's face changed drastically and he blurted out that he also participated in that battle, but he was not Zhang Zhongwu's direct line, but he was just standing in the back. But because of this, he escaped that disaster. But the scene that day, which seemed to appear in hell, was deeply imprinted in his mind.
"He called Botian Lei" Li Hai said, "It was because of this that Li Xiang defeated Zhang Zhongwu on the banks of the Yishui River. The power you see now is much greater than the power of the explosion on the banks of the Yishui River that day. There are ten people in total in this trip. There are ten people who are responsible for taking care of this thing. This is absolutely impossible. If something happens in our camp, these hundred will be enough to cause us to suffer heavy losses. They are our secret skills and must not be used until they are absolutely necessary."
Tang Ji took a deep breath, "I know."
Seeing Li Hai put the bottle back into the box and then covered the box lid, Yuan Chang smiled and said, "Okay, now the three of us are considered grasshoppers on the line. This trip will either be completed. Not only will we be famous in history, but we can also become an important figure in our Tang Dynasty with this. Or, we will die in failure and bury our bones in a foreign land. There is naturally nothing to say."
He stretched out his hand, "Brothers, in ten days, we will set out. From then on, we will share honor and disgrace and depend on each other in life and death."
Li Hai stretched out his hand, and Tang Ji also stretched out his hand, and the three people and six hands were tightly held together.
"Let's create history. The Western Regions belong to the Tang Dynasty and Li Xiang," Yuan Chang said sternly.
Ten days later, a team of more than a thousand people escorted nearly two hundred large cars. At dawn, they set off quietly. Only Gongsun Changming and Tian Bo, who came to see him off, came.
For Li Ze, sending a team of more than a thousand people to carry out an unpredictable action was just a chess piece set up in his spare time. If this trip fails, there will naturally be a second and third teams to continue. Naturally, he will not pay too much attention to it. At this moment, his attention has shifted to another thing.
