Chapter 352 Leather armor is more expensive
Li De and the commanders inspected the barracks that had just been built together. This was the first time that the vanguard soldiers had improved the camps. It was expected that they would be stationed here for a few days. The barracks should not be careless.
Back at the tent, everyone started a meeting.
“The order of the pioneers is very good and deserves praise.”
"Speak up if you have anything to report." Li De said.
"In the battle of the Turkic horse bandits, the seizure statistics have been released, with 80 war horses, twenty sets of armor, three thousand bows and arrows, and one thousand stagnants of silver and money harvested." Wei Xun said.
"It's a pity that more than a hundred people were asked to escape." Ding Qilin suddenly said.
"Ding Qilin, what do you mean? Are you saying that we wolf cavalry are not good?" Wei Li stood up and questioned.
It was actually a coincidence that when the personal guards who were scattered out of the vanguard were hunting along the way, the guards led their personal guards to find a 300-man Turkic horse team.
The Turks plundered the land on the border with a license, so the two sides fought for a while. Originally, the Turkic horse bandits wanted to annihilate Wei Li and others.
However, when the two sides started a war, they realized that the strength of both sides was too great. The Turks suffered a loss in defense without having too many iron armors, so they fled with the remaining more than 100 people with their superb equestrian skills.
Weili was a very slippery person. He stopped when he saw it. He knew that even if he was chasing, he couldn't catch up. He went out to hunt them out for the main hunt, and did not carry the food that would support their long-distance raids, so he brought the capture back.
Ding Qilin was young and energetic. He thought that he had not fought with the Turks more, so he was very unhappy, so he couldn't eat the grapes and said that the grapes were sour.
"If it were a leopard cavalry, they would definitely not be able to escape." Ding Qilin replied.
The two of them faced each other in a tit-for-tat way, and their anger was accumulating.
"Okay, although you two have not reached an annihilation battle, they have finally injured more than half of the enemy. They are a great record of the vanguard. They have recorded their military achievements truthfully. When they return to Chang'an to receive the merits."
"You must be patient in the guard. Luck is also a manifestation of strength. Whoever made you not meet you, so don't fantasize. We are in Shuofang now, and there are Turks in the north. After leaving the city wall, you are still afraid that you will not have the chance to make meritorious service. Don't be too jealous and look like you have no stomach."
Li De's persuasion was very effective, and the words to comfort were just casually speaking.
"Continue to the meeting now and don't interrupt the matter." Li De continued.
Wei Li glared at Ding Qilin and continued: "According to the analysis of the harvested items, the horse bandits have ordinary combat power and do not have too many armors. They should not be the main force of the enemy. It is speculated that the small forces in the tribe want to rob before the beginning of winter. They should have just arrived in the hinterland shortly after."
"How do you deal with the seized items?"
"Money, weapons and horses are collected into logistics support, and gadgets are treated as private spoils."
The Pioneer Army is composed of eleven forces. No matter how much effort it takes to do things, it must be controlled by the Pioneer Army. They cannot be allowed to do whatever they want.
Military pay is the norm, and there are rewards for military achievements, but they cannot be divided. The vanguard soldiers must develop, and the advantage of the general is military achievements.
The matter of the horse bandit was resolved, Gao Cheng said: "Governor, the last general got news from General Zhang, the garrison of Shuofang. The Turks were gathering troops recently, with a population of 30,000 people seemingly going to launch an attack on the border."
"In the second half of the year, the warlike tribes united to prepare for the winter. If they stay, there will be wars." Gao Cheng said to Li De.
It seems to be trying to see what their governor’s expression is.
It takes no matter how long it takes to stay, and it cannot be for a few months. It is unrealistic for them to stay on the border as the soldiers who suppressed bandits.
Li De looked at everyone and knew what they were thinking, but it was impossible.
"It's not okay to stay. If you want to make a military achievements, don't always think about waiting for others to come here, and learn to adapt."
"What the governor means is to take the initiative to fight?" He Bida said.
"Wei Duwei He is a flexible person. This idea is very good. Why can they come and go like the shadows and the wind? We can't do it. It's not good to train troops in Mobei to train the vanguard soldiers' maneuver and survival instincts."
"The governor is right. We will take the initiative to attack and catch them off guard." He Bida said.
"But where do you want to find them?"
"Even if there are so many scouts to be sent and how long can we collect useful information, not to mention the whereabouts of the Turks, we are at a disadvantage when we enter the northern part of the Mo. Once we get lost, we will fall into the abyss." Shi Huaiyi said.
"Yeah, there's someone who is willing to use his brain." Li De said.
He Bida and others were just excited about what Li De said, but they said despairing words in a blink of an eye, how to accept them.
"Governor..."
He Bida wanted to ask clearly, but Li De began to explain before he could finish his question: "The land in the northern desert is sparsely populated, and the environment is extremely unfavorable to us. It is not realistic to defeat the Turks with a few thousand soldiers."
"I know you are eager to make contributions, and all the soldiers are good, but you have to consider the consequences when doing things, such as how to deal with the loss of the northern desert, and what if it causes siege of Turkic soldiers, this is not something that can be accomplished by a fever."
"Send scouts to collect nearby Turkic soldiers and horses. If you can find a target, you will naturally not let it go. If you cannot, you will hand over the collected information to the garrison General Zhang. In this way, you can train the scouts to achieve your goal."
"The governor's words are reasonable, and I will agree." Shi Huaiyi said.
"Governor, I am willing to take the task of scouting." Luo Song said.
Then several lieutenants spoke one after another.
"No need to fight, there is a chance. We don't have much time to stay, so each captain can send a scout team of twenty people. After three days, no matter whether there is any discovery or not, we must rush back to the barracks."
"Get orders!" the captains said in unison.
After waving everyone away, Li De took out various design drawings he drew for viewing.
After all the lieutenants left the tent, Li De's lieutenants all walked in and found a place to sit.
Zhang Chuchen came to Li De to check the strange drawings.
"These leather bags are a bit similar to the backpack, what are they used for?" Zhang Chuchen said curiously.
Li Xiuning also came over and saw the strange pictures. He quickly said: "Of course, they put things in. They made the backpack into leather, which seemed to be able to hold a lot of things."
"You haven't found that this kind of leather bag is more relaxed," Li De explained.
Princess Yu came over and said, "Is it a waste to use leather as a backpack? Is it better to use fur as a soldier?"
Li De admires Princess Yu's vision very much. If she is allowed to do business, she will definitely become the richest businesswoman in the world. Where can I make money by making leather wraps?
But the nature of the two is different. Backpacks are used in daily life. Not everyone can use leather armor, and even if it is used, they are not allowed to be worn.
