Chapter 18 The Pioneer of Thieves
Early in the morning on May 20, the 15th year of Jianping, Li Bin, Li Mengdian, Wei Xu, Chu, Lin Xiang, Lin Hao, all six of them were wearing armor, carrying weapons and bows and arrows, and walked out of the gate of the Hongyun Gambling Hall.
At this time, the six people were wearing heavy infantry armor, and each of them had more fine iron armor leaves on their bodies. This was not counting. In the heavy infantry armor, the six people were wearing leather armor.
The weight of a pair of infantry heavy armor is about 60 kilograms, but the protection of infantry heavy armor can be improved by increasing the number of refined iron blades.
After dinner last night, Li Bin and others worked hard until the second half of the night. A total of ten pairs of infantry heavy armored leaves were dismantled, and six sets of infantry heavy armored armored animals were modified to suit their body shape and have stronger protection.
The thirteen pairs of leather armor obtained from the county government arsenal were also selected by Li Bin and the others and changed it to suit their body shape. They were worn in the heavy infantry armor. The weight of each set of leather armor was about twenty kilograms, not counting as a helmet.
Lin Xiang and Lin Hao's infantry heavy armor, including the iron helmet, weighed about 75 kilograms, Li Meng's infantry heavy armor reached 80 kilograms, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu's infantry heavy armor exceeded 85 kilograms.
Li Bin's infantry heavy armor is even more exaggerated. It has two layers of tightly connected with fine iron armor leaves, which means that one person wears two pairs of infantry heavy armor, and the weight reaches an astonishing 150 kilograms. Even Dian Wei and Xu Chu dare not wear such heavy armor like this. After all, there is a need to continue fighting on the battlefield, and too heavy armor will accelerate the consumption of physical strength.
With his extraordinary strength and endurance, Li Bin didn't care about the weight of the armor he was wearing. If it weren't for the three-layer fine iron armor leaves that really affected the body's movements, Li Bin would even transform a set of infantry heavy armor with three-layer fine iron armor leaves weighing more than 200 kilograms.
But even so, the combined weight of the double-layer infantry heavy armor that Li Bin wore and the leather armor inside reached 170 kilograms. Ordinary people wore such heavy armor, let alone fighting, even walking was difficult. However, after Li Bin wore these three layers of armor, he could still walk as fast as he could.
When Li Bin and others arrived at the martial arts training ground of the soldiers in Leishan County, it was just three o'clock in the morning, which was around 7:45 in the morning.
A team of soldiers and a team of auxiliary soldiers who recruited the palace soldiers, no one has come to the martial arts training ground to report, but Li Jingyi has already brought some of his constables to wait here.
In a corner of the martial arts training ground, there were also ten flat carriages parked. Each flat carriage was equipped with two slow horses, and the ten flat carriages were loaded with a lot of food and grass.
Li Bin hurriedly stepped forward to greet Li Jingyi. When Li Jingyi saw that Li Bin had only five people coming, she frowned slightly, "Didn't I ask you to recruit more people?"
Li Bin said respectfully: "Your uncle is anxious, my nephew really cannot recruit reliable personnel, not to mention that the soldiers are strong but not many. With the six of us leading the 100 soldiers of the palace soldiers, it is enough to clear the bandits in Jiguanling."
Li Jingyi looked carefully at the five people following Li Bin and found that they were all extremely burly men, and they were all wearing extremely thick infantry heavy armor like Li Bin, so their martial arts should be good.
Li Jingyi nodded slightly and said, "Time is indeed a bit tight. I hope you can win this time. Also, don't forget what I told you yesterday."
Li Bin hurriedly gave Li Jingyi another salute, "If you say it to the uncle of the clan, I will write down the words of the clan. I will try my best to pacify the bandits in Jiguanling for the clan."
Li Jingyi then asked the five people behind Li Bin: "Who are Li Lie's son Li Meng?"
Li Meng took a step forward and bowed and said, "Uncle Qibing, I am Li Meng."
Li Jingyi nodded slightly to Li Meng and said, "Yes, she is already a Mingjin warrior at a young age, and her future is limitless. In the future, you must practice martial arts diligently and strive to enter the dark kingdom as soon as possible, so that our Leishan Li family will add another powerful general."
Li Meng said respectfully: "Thank you for your encouragement from the clan uncle. My nephew will work hard to practice martial arts and strive to become an underworld warrior as soon as possible."
Before noon, the 100 soldiers and 100 auxiliary soldiers recruited from the government soldiers arrived at the martial arts training ground on time. Li Jingyi immediately read out the order of the county magistrate Chen Fu, appointing Li Bin as the vanguard of the fight against the bandits, and led the third and fifth teams of the second battalion of the Leishan County Government Army to Jiguanling to suppress the bandits. Of course, the vanguard of the fight against the bandits was only a temporary military position.
After reading out Li Bin's appointment in public, Li Jingyi took his constables to leave the martial arts training ground.
The Second Battalion of Leishan County Government Soldiers is composed of four teams of war soldiers and two teams of auxiliary soldiers. The first team, the second team, the third team and the fourth team are the combat soldiers, and the fifth team and the sixth team are the auxiliary soldiers.
Before clearing Jiguanling, the soldiers of the first and second teams suffered great losses. This time, Leishan County Organ recruited a full third team of soldiers.
The 100 auxiliary soldiers of the fifth team also went to Jiguanling last time, but the auxiliary soldiers of the fifth team, who were only responsible for transporting food and grass, did not directly participate in the battle, so there was no loss of personnel. This time, Leishan County Government recruited another 100 auxiliary soldiers of the fifth team.
According to the government system of the Dayan Empire, the government soldiers must bring their own clothes, armor, weapons, weapons, bows, arrows and shields. The rations during the recruitment period shall be the governments of various places.
The 100 soldiers in the third team were all wearing armor, but most of them were leather armor, and only more than ten people wore iron armor. The iron armor worn by these more than ten people was only inlaid with iron sheets on the key parts of the body based on leather armor. The defense was much worse than the heavy armor of infantry made up of all fine iron blades.
The weapons of these hundred soldiers were basically infantry spears and waist knives. Almost 30% of them even carried bows and arrows, and the shields were on the one hand, and they were all swallow-tail shields.
The weapons and equipment of the 100 auxiliary soldiers in the fifth team were much worse. Only a few of the 100 auxiliary soldiers were wearing leather armor, and no one carried a bow and arrow. Most of them only had a long spear in their hands, and a few were equipped with waist knives.
The spears and spears of infantrymen are very similar in appearance. The spears are longer than spears and have thicker poles. The length of the spears is more than four meters, while the length of the spears is only about two meters.
The head of the spear is flatter and longer than that of the spear, with blades on both sides, which can be stabbed, swept or chopped.
The spear tip of the spear is slightly shorter, but it is even sharper. Since there is no blade, it basically has no function of sweeping and pricking, and is generally used to stab and prick.
After Li Jingyi took his men away, the soldiers in the palace couldn't help but whisper.
"Last time, the three masters of the Li family led two teams of soldiers, and twenty Li family soldiers and eighty yamen runners. None of them won the bandits in Jiguanling. We only have one team of soldiers now, so how can we be the opponent of the bandits in Jiguanling!"
"No, our team of soldiers could not destroy the bandits of Jiguanling! Which fat man appointed as the vanguard to fight against thieves? The county magistrate simply used the lives of our brothers in the third team as a joke!"
"Small voice, this vanguard against thieves Li Bin is also a ruthless person. Cui Yanwang from Hongyun Gambling Hall in the south of the city was killed by him."
"How can King Cui Yan compare with the bandits in Jiguanling? Our third team is in trouble this time."
Just as the soldiers of the palace were whispering, Xu Chu, who was standing beside Li Bin, roared: "Silent! Those who dare to make noise again blame twenty military sticks!"
