Chapter 476 Armory(2/2)
With just a quick glance, Li Xiuyuan saw a mountain of spears, swords, bows, arrows, crossbows, armors and shields.
He took a waist knife at random, pulled it out and saw that it was still as new as ever, with its sharp edge still intact.
"Looking at these weapons, it can be seen that the Song Dynasty also had its prosperity and prosperity. It's a pity that the weapons were put into the warehouse and the horses were released to Nanshan. The prosperity is no longer there." Li Xiuyuan sighed with emotion. He could feel that in the era when these weapons were used, the Song Dynasty
How powerful is the country’s civil, political, and military equipment.
Li Bing said at this moment: "General Li, the ordnance in the armory is enough to equip an army of 100,000 people. I wonder how much General Li wants?"
Li Xiuyuan suddenly smiled and said: "The prefect said before that the armory here has been sealed for too long, and many accounts have been lost. If I take more, no one will know."
"Having said that, the armory is an important place for the imperial court. It is unjustifiable to lose so many weapons." Li Bing said.
"I don't want to take more. Isn't the ordnance here enough to equip an army of 100,000 people? I only need the equipment for an army of 50,000 people. However, after being stored for decades, the bows and crossbows are no longer usable. I want to take away all the arrows and armor."
I don’t need too many sets. Thirty thousand sets is enough. Any more is useless and will affect my progress.
Army." Li Xiuyuan said.
He currently has 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. It is enough to arm his own army first.
With 30,000 elite soldiers, as long as they don't rebel, it won't be a problem to run rampant across the world.
Moreover, he does not plan to expand the army uncontrollably. It is too taboo to make a big tree like this and attract attention.
"General Li just needs to know what's going on. Anyway, I will be dead by then, so I can't control the consequences," Li Bing said.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "It would be great if you can think like this, sir. Everyone is destined to die. If you help me today, I will definitely not regret it in the future."
"Brother Wang, I will trouble you for the next thing. We will carry weapons today, arm infantry tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow to annihilate the Nine Mountains King Li Liangjin. If everything goes well, we can finish the battle before the beginning of spring and return to Jinling City.
.”
"Brother Li, don't worry, leave this matter to me." Wang Ping responded.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "With Brother Wang's words, I feel relieved. By the way, where is Xing Shan?"
"Here is the young one." Xing Shan walked out with his fists clasped.
Li Xiuyuan said: "The army cannot be without archers. I will allocate five thousand infantry to you and let you lead it alone. I cannot let your archery skills go to waste."
"Thank you, young master." Xing Shan, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
He suddenly changed from a guard to a commander of 5,000 men.
Li Xiuyuan said: "But to be a general with five thousand men, you have to be really capable. Although I have assigned you men and horses, whether you can do it or not depends on your ability as a general. Don't let me down."
"Don't worry, young master, the young one understands," Xing Shan said confidently.
The selection of commanders, battalion commanders, and captains in the army is based on martial arts and technical skills. It cannot be done simply by relying on connections.
If he is not strong enough and is defeated by other challengers, then Xing Shan will have no choice but to give up his position.
"Okay, that's it for today. Let's all go back and rest." Li Xiuyuan said, and then he bowed his hand to Li Bing and said, "I have the prefect to accompany me."
