Chapter 48 The future is uncertain
When the departing people gathered in the open space of the nest, Xiao Tianjian also put on his broken cotton armor, and after inspecting dozens of his subordinates, he asked Mr. Jin to send the fruits of his busy days to everyone.
Soon someone ran over carrying a pile of things and put them at the feet of Xiao Tianjian. These brothers standing on the open ground opened their eyes wide.
It turns out that among these things, there are not only two bundles of javelers with iron heads, but also more than a dozen brand-new cowhide armor. Armor is not easy to make. Even among the officers and soldiers, only those officers and their backbone members of the army can be equipped with armor, ordinary officers and soldiers. Most of them can get a mandarin duck battle jacket, and most of them are tattered. It is good to clip the wire, so in this era, if you want to wear armor, even if it is just leather armor, it is quite powerful.
"Brothers! At present, our ability is limited. I, Xiao, can't afford to buy too many armor for you, but as long as I can, Xiao will not hide and be reluctant to take it out for everyone!
A few days ago, our cow has been killed, and the reason for killing the cow is to make some leather armor for everyone, so that everyone can have an extra layer of protection! Because in my eyes, you are my brothers. As long as I can protect you, no matter how valuable it is, I will be willing!" Xiao Tianjian stood straight and shouted loudly to these men in front of him with his hands behind his back.
These people were immediately excited. From following Xiao Tianjian, they saw that Xiao Tianjian was really good to them. Even the ploughing cattle were willing to kill them and bought these leather armors for them. It can be seen that Xiao Tianjian really treats them as his own! So the group immediately shouted, "Thank you for your plate! The little ones are willing to die for the palm plate! ......”
Xiao Tianjian raised his right hand, stopped their roar, and laughed, "Thank you brothers for treating me like this! I will live up to you brothers! It's just that our strength is limited at present, and we only have time to buy these more than a dozen leather armors. Obviously, it is impossible for everyone to distribute one!
So the brothers who took the gun today will be aggrieved first. These leather armors will be distributed to the brothers of knives and shields first. I won't say much about the reason. Everyone also understands that the remaining few pieces will be issued by each squad leader. After we beat Fan Jiabao this time, we can get some leather pieces, and then give them to the rest of the brothers. You deserve it. Don't blame me for favoring one thing and favoring the other!"
Although the people who didn't get the leather armor are a little disappointed, this is also the actual situation, because when the knife and shield are fighting, they have to catch up with the enemy's short soldiers. When they encounter the enemy shooting arrows and guns, they also have to stand at the front of the team to block arrows and guns for everyone. The work is the most dangerous, so everyone has nothing to do with them first. It can be said that the rest of the squad leaders are the earliest people who follow Xiao Tianjian, and they are also the most daring to fight. It is reasonable for them to wear leather armor. No one will fight with them. So even those who don't get leather armor have nothing to complain about. I just hope that they can be equipped with this when they are strong in the future. Something.
Not to mention the mood for those who get the leather armor. Xiao Tianjian treats them like this. What else can they say besides working hard?
After looking at the knife and shield hand and the squad leader wearing leather armor one by one, they suddenly became much more majestic. Those ragged clothes were covered by leather armor, and large pieces of leather covered the key points on their bodies, which suddenly made them feel much safer. Naturally, the anger was much higher. Everyone was overjoyed, and their chests were raised. Those who were not equipped with leather armor were envious and drooled.
Each of the long gunners had two javelins, which were also quickly distributed. Yan Chongxi and another knife and shield soldier, because they could shoot arrows, also carried a hard bow and carried a bag of arrows, which was even more majestic.
Xiao Tianjian gave his new leather armor to his men. Now he is wearing a broken cotton armor, which is a little shabby than his men, but he doesn't care. He holds a simple knife, a waist knife hanging around his waist, and two short axes in his waist. In addition, his tall figure also looks majestic. Lin.
In addition to the leather armor, Xiao Tianjian also asked the women here to use some felts snatched from Guzhuang to give these soldiers at night. One person made a felt hat and distributed them all. It seems that his team is more neat. When gathered together, there is also a kind of gun like a forest, a shield. It feels like a wall. Compared with a group of messy and shabby men in the past, now they have at least a little military posture.
"Good! Brothers, let's make a way for ourselves with our own hands! Let's go!" Xiao Tianjian put his left hand on his waist and waved his right hand in the direction of the mountain. He shouted loudly, imitating the movements of a great man. Anyway, this guy is still a little funny.
With the command of each squad leader, this group of soldiers turned to the right, and then followed the command of the squad leaders and strode out of the valley.
After the departure of the soldiers and Shi Ran's scout team, the more than 20 selected auxiliary soldiers also followed them and set out happily. Jin Fuzi led the rest of the people all the way to send them to Gukou, and Fang saw Xiao Tianjian and his party leave the nest.
Forty miles is nothing to them. The high-intensity training every day not only tempers their will, but also improves their physical fitness a lot. Xiao Tianjian controls the speed of their movement. Every ten miles, he lets everyone rest for 15 minutes to ensure them. Even if you march, you can always maintain a certain amount of physical strength, so that your men can have enough ability to deal with emergencies.
Shi Ran still took Da Niu and a few other tripod cats to wait. He walked out in front of the team to open the way for them and explore the situation in front of him. Xiao Tianjian also had a great increase in strength, and his own people opened the way in front of him. This trip was also much bolder. He directly took his men to the official road. In this way, it's okay. The speed of movement is also a little faster.
Although there are not many pedestrians on the official road, it does not mean that there are no pedestrians. On this road, I still encounter a lot of drifters one after another. On some times, I will meet a team of more than a dozen small traders and hawkers.
These exiles are easy to say. They are not very afraid to meet them, and they will not run away. Instead, they hide by the roadside and look at them in surprise. Anyway, as long as they don't meet the officers and soldiers, it's not a big problem. They are poor and have nothing left, and the poles will not feel for them. I'm interested in the officers and soldiers. From time to time, they will hit their heads because of killing good deeds, so it's safer to meet poles like Xiao Tianjian.
On the contrary, those hawkers were scared when they met Xiao Tianjian's group. When they saw them from afar, they carried their own goods and fled happily for fear of being robbed by them.
Xiao Tianjian is not interested in such hawkers. First, they have no oil and water, and second, because these people are just people who are struggling to survive. Other poles may rob them, but he is not hostile to these people. When he sees them from afar, he will not pay attention to them and presses on the team. Go ahead.
But they didn't go far from the official road, so they went down the official road and embarked on the road to Fanjiabao. Gradually, they met fewer and fewer people along the way. Later, they simply walked a few miles and couldn't meet anyone.
"All rest!" After calculating the journey, Xiao Tianjian once again gave the order to rest.
Everyone immediately stopped moving forward, sat down by the roadside, took off the bamboo tube on their backs, looked up and took a few sips, and then began to discuss what they might encounter when they went to Fanjiabao this time.
Xiao Tianjian also took the water bag handed to him by the iron head and took a few sips. At present, he still has to walk with the team and ride a horse, which is still a little difficult for him. Although it is majestic and labor-saving, his two thighs are worn and painful, so he can walk or walk. In the eyes of his subordinates, this is even more They felt kind and felt that they were willing to share joys and sorrows with them.
However, Xiao Tianjian still decided to take time to practice horse riding well. Even if he is not proficient in riding, he can at least ride a horse and run. Such a skill is very helpful for him to survive in this world in the future. If he really encounters a big trouble with two legs, he can't run away. He may be a beast who can run on four legs, but now he is very busy every day and rarely takes time to practice riding every day, so now he can only rely on this 11th road car to move.
In addition, Xiao Tianjian has been thinking about how to attack Fanjiabao in the past two days. To be honest, this time he went to fight Fanjiabao was the first time he led people to fight a well-prepared village. It was no better than before when they picked soft persimmons with a hammer. Xiao Tianjian is really unfathomless.
But he can't fight. If he wants to grow up, he must have more food. Small fights can't be solved. Only by making a bigger village can he get a lot of food. This step can be said to be taken sooner or later.
But Xiao Tianjian is not sure about this step. Although his men are a little more now, they basically don't have much experience in attacking. It will be very difficult to deal with such a Zhuangzi, and may even pay a lot of price.
But the sense of urgency of time makes him have to do this now. He doesn't know when the large number of rebels will come back. Before that, if he doesn't expand his strength, I'm afraid he won't have a chance at that time.
So anyway, he has to do it this time. Even if he can't fight, he has to use this opportunity to accumulate some experience. This time, just think of it as a practice. Let's go and see what's going on first! As for the result, Xiao Tianjian couldn't figure it out, so he could only look at it step by step.
(It's still time to ask for tickets. There are still a few days left to get off the new book list! Don't let my ** explode below at the critical moment! This is not a guarantee for the evening holiday! Red ticket, red ticket, I want a red ticket! Brothers, please raise your hands and stand up!)
