(Today's first chapter is presented, Xiaoyun's new book, please collect and recommend, everyone supports a lot, thank you @!) )

When Li Zixiao's order to go to battle was issued, Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong, Liu Chong, and Dong Zhuang quickly went down to prepare their teams.

The three teams led by Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong and Liu Chong are the only three teams of soldiers in their cottage so far, and they are also the main force of Li Zixiao's attack on Lin Jiabao this time.

In terms of auxiliaries, Dong Xiang led the team this time, and Old Master Wei was responsible for staying in the cottage, after all, Old Master Wei was old and could not go out with the team.

An hour later, all the horses who followed Li Zixiao to fight this time were all assembled on the school field, and Li Zixiao also put on his majestic cotton armor and appeared.

After inspecting his more than 200 subordinates, he was very satisfied with the strong and confident morale exuded by this group of subordinates, and then with a wave of his hand, he let Old Master Wei transport a batch of things to the school grounds.

When these cottage soldiers standing on the school ground saw the batch of things brought by Old Master Wei, their eyes widened, and their eyes glowed green.

It turned out that among the batch of things that Old Master Wei brought over, there were not only two bundles of throwing guns, but also more than a dozen brand-new cowhide armor and dozens of sets of worn-out cotton armor that were sewn and repaired.

Armor is not easy to get at this time, even among the current Ming officers and soldiers, only those officers and generals can be equipped with armor.

At most, ordinary big-headed soldiers can get a mandarin duck battle jacket, and most of them are tattered, and they can be clamped with wire, which is considered good.

Especially now there are a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, all of whom are filling their own pockets, which makes the allocated manufacturing funds reduced again and again, so that the armor craftsmen have to cut corners one by one, which involves many interests, making the armor made by the Ming court more and more unbearable.

So in this era, if you want to wear armor, even if it's just leather armor, it's already quite powerful, even the Ming official army lacks armor, when have you ever seen a bandit wearing armor.

Look at Li Zicheng and other righteous soldiers who are still fighting with the Ming official army in Shaanxi at this time, not to mention the armor, they can't even get together a knife and gun, and the fight is completely piled up with human lives.

And these armors and tattered cotton armor that Li Zixiao made out were still made up by him after he attacked Liu Laocai and occupied the Scarface Cottage before, and then found someone to sew and mend them.

"Brothers, the strength of our cottage is limited at the moment, and I, the big boss, can't afford to buy too much armor for everyone, so I can only get these now.

But I will do my best to provide you with weapons and armor, so that you can better kill the enemy and save your life when you go to the battlefield.

In my eyes, you are not only my palm, but also my brother, as long as I can protect you, I will do my best. ”

Li Zixiao stood straight in front of the neatly arranged cottage soldiers, and shouted loudly to the subordinates in front of him.

When his subordinates heard Li Zixiao's words, they immediately became excited, and from the time they followed Li Zixiao, they could see that Li Zixiao was indeed very good to them.

has never shortened their food, and made a cotton coat for each of them, and now he is also buying these armors for them, which shows that Li Zixiao really treats them as his own.

Comparing their hearts to their hearts, these once poor low-level people have long seen a lot of warmth and coldness, and they are willing to work hard for a man like Li Zixiao.

So as soon as Li Zixiao's words fell, a group of subordinates immediately shouted: "Thank you to the big boss, the little ones are willing to die for the big boss!" ”

Li Zixiao raised his right hand, stopped their roar, and said with a smile: "Thank you brothers for treating me like this, and I will live up to your brothers!"

It's just that at the moment, our strength is limited, and we only have time to buy these more than ten pieces of leather armor and these thirty or so old cotton armors, and it is obviously impossible to make everyone get one.

Therefore, the pikemen were wronged first, and these leather armors were first distributed to the sword and shield brothers, who were the shields of our team, and they should be protected as much as possible against the attacks of the enemy archers.

The rest of the old cotton armor was given to the team leader first, and then the rest was given to the pikemen in the first column first.

After we have defeated Lin Jiabao this time, if we can scavenge some armor, and then match it for the rest of the brothers, don't blame me for favoring one over the other. ”

Although most of the people who haven't received the armor are a little lost, especially the ten-piece leather armor, the protection ability is the best, but this is also something that there is no way to do in the cottage at present, after all, there are more monks and less porridge, not enough points!

And everyone also understood Li Zixiao's arrangement of giving priority to equipping these dozen sets of leather armor with sword and shield soldiers, because when the sword and shield soldiers went into battle, they had to be in close contact with the enemy.

If they encounter the enemy and shoot arrows, they also have to stand at the front of the line to block arrows and bullets for everyone, and the most dangerous work is to act as a protective umbrella for everyone, so they are distributed to them first and everyone has nothing to say.

The remaining more than 30 sets of shabby cotton armor were first equipped by Li Zixiao for the captains in the team, who were the earliest veterans who followed Li Zixiao, and they were also the strongest combat effectiveness among the soldiers.

They can put on these old cotton armors to better exert their excellent combat effectiveness, so for Li Zixiao's arrangement, everyone thinks it is a matter of course, and no one dares these veterans to fight.

Therefore, even those who did not receive leather armor had nothing to complain about, and only hoped that their attack on Lin Jiabao would go smoothly this time.

When the time comes, Zhuangzi may be able to get a lot of good armor, and maybe it will be their turn to have armor at that time.

For those who received leather armor, this mood is not to mention, Li Zixiao treats them like this, what can they say except to serve their lives?

After watching the sword and shield soldiers and the captain put on the armor one by one, they suddenly became much more imposing, and these armors covered the vital points on their bodies, which suddenly made them feel much safer.

This also made the morale even higher a lot, and they all raised their eyebrows with joy, and they held their chests high with their chests folded, and they all looked at those who were not equipped with armor, and they were all envious, and they drooled.

Later, Li Zixiao distributed two throwing guns to each of the spearmen at the forefront, and these pikemen who could stand at the forefront were the tallest and most powerful, so they were also spear-throwers, and they would throw their spears at the beginning of the battle.

At this time, Li Zixiao fought down through several battles, and he also got three hard bows in his hand, and only Quartz and Liu Chong's arrows shot well in the whole cottage, and there were also several former veterans who could also shoot arrows.

So Li Zixiao gave Liu Chong three hard bows, and asked him to find two soldiers with the best archery, even if he had a little long-range attack firepower, Liu Chong carried a hard bow on his back, and he also carried a bag of arrows, which was much more majestic.

Li Zixiao was wearing a brand new set of cotton armor, a waist knife hanging from his waist, and several long thorns inserted in his belt, coupled with his tall and slightly thin figure, he also looked majestic.

At this time, it seems that his team is neatly lined up, but it gives people a feeling of guns like a forest and shields like a wall, compared to the previous group of messy and tattered subordinates, now at least there is a bit of an army.

"Let's go, let's go!"
