Section 964 Equipping people to be subdued
On the forest road in the hilly area, two Tang horsemen were advancing along the road without hurry.
They were non-commissioned officers Lin Fang and Dong Xiao, both veterans, and the two of them brought five horses to reconnoiter the enemy.
They had not noticed anything out of the ordinary, and when they turned a corner, which was obscured by rocks and trees, the horses suddenly sank castrate.
"Oops", the two of them couldn't help themselves and found themselves falling into the trap!
A group of people around rushed out, and the two of them had great ability, but they had to be arrested.
They were reassured that their captives were not hostile to them, but simply tied them up and sent them into tents in a camp in a distant valley and gave them water to drink.
……
In the main tent of the Lord Urasuo of the Lahul Ministry, Uraso and the commanders of the thousand men looked at the equipment taken from the two Tang soldiers and spread it on a wooden table in the tent.
Let's not talk about military equipment but auxiliary items, which is the first priority.
1. The telescope, when placed in front of you, the scene instantly expands.
It was clearly visible in the distance, they were all people rolling on the tip of the knife, and they soon knew how powerful this thing was, and their faces were gloomy!
Fortunately, it is in the mountains, otherwise in the grassland, if the opponent has a clear view from the heights, people will see the army, and the army will not see the enemy, and it will be terrible to think about it!
Second, the compass!
The needles in a small box were constantly changing, and there were Chinese characters for north and south on it, which no one understood, but Uraso knew it, and immediately called a priest who was the assistant of the high priest Komagai (that is, the one who later greeted the Tang army), and he knew Chinese.
"South...... North," the young priest said in a startling voice, "This is for directions!" ”
Generally speaking, priests were more knowledgeable and well-informed about its role.
It's good!
3. Pencils and fountain pens!
The two pens that he carried with him were used by the priests to write on paper!
For the Tang people, pens are ordinary, commonly used things, and using them is as natural as breathing.
But on the Silk Road, the pen is strictly forbidden to export, and silkworm seeds, tea seeds, porcelain secret recipes, etc., anyone who dares to take it out will commit a felony, even if he does not die, hard labor can not escape!
It is okay to carry a pen with a small number of pens, after all, the Tang people have to use it for counting, but large-scale exports are not allowed.
Wei Xi, it is absolutely not allowed to be more literate with crooked nuts, and it is better that the stupider they are, the better!
It's a cultural blockade.
The priest thought it was convenient for the Rahul tribesmen to be so far away, and most of those tribesmen were illiterate.
Fourth, emergency medicine kits.
Smelling those smells, the priest immediately reported, "It's medicine!" ”
The medicine bag is not large, and there are a lot of bits and pieces: dog skin plaster, hemostatic powder, disinfected iodine tincture (the Tang people already know how to extract iodine from seaweed), various pills, etc., as well as bandages and sterilized cotton swabs.
Although the thing is small, it gives the tribesmen a feeling of being a mountain up.
5. Food:
They know that tea thing, although it is the tea of ordinary soldiers, the small package of tea is better than the large tea bricks that the tribesmen drink... Those tea bricks carry a lot of tea residues, tea branches, etc., and the taste is not good.
After the tribesmen soaked their hair, they enjoyed it.
In China, tea is the best product for the elites to enjoy, the middle product is for the general public to drink, and the inferior product is made into tea bricks for export!
Crooked nuts had to accept it, because tea, silk and porcelain were the three major monopoly export fist products of the Tang people, and Wei Xi gave his secret service department a special task to patrol foreign countries, if the domestic secret was leaked, then the agents had to come to the door and eliminate them at designated points!
Fried noodles: The flour made of sorghum and wheat is still known to the tribesmen, but the military fried noodles of the Tang people are added with sesame seeds, soybeans, salt, etc., which is so-so, but the tribesmen eat them as fragrant snacks!
The war is about logistics, even if the Tang army has trains and the transportation of the main line is unhindered, but the distribution capacity is still limited, especially it is not easy to transport fuel (trucks are the most powerful), so the Tang army cannot eat rice and bread at any time, and fried noodles are still the staple food during long-distance marches.
It is easy to eat, easy to carry, has a long shelf life, is not easy to deteriorate, and does not need to be cooked.
However, the Tang Army, which pays attention to "humanistic care", tried its best to make the soldiers feel better, so the two captured non-commissioned officers still had in their pockets: dried nuts and fruits, especially raisins from Xinjiang; Condensed milk (milk is concentrated and high in sugar for long-term storage), cheese, sausages, jams, cereals, noodles, dried vegetables, biscuits, hard candy, salt, sugar, toilet paper, soap, etc. (They have two horses and one horse with their supplies, and if they can't escape, they abandon the supply horses, and they basically carry fried noodles, beef jerky, and tea leaves, known as the auspicious three treasures!) )
There are so many dazzling that the tribesmen distinguish the effects like treasure hunting, divide and eat!
Especially beef jerky!
Large pieces of air-dried beef jerky have been secretly made with traditional Chinese medicine, and the taste is truly incomparable!
……
The second key item is naturally military equipment:
1. Refined Tang Bow! And crossbows!
The tribesmen naturally know the goods, and they know that it is a good bow when they see the Tang bow, and their strength is strong.
And a sniper crossbow with a scope... The productivity of the Tang people was irrepressible, and ordinary soldiers used sniper crossbows.
After a few fumbles, the tribesmen knew how to use the sniper crossbow, which meant where to fight!
Second, Tang Dao!
The cold light shines on people, and the iron is sharpened like clay.
With this sword, it has already outperformed the knife used by most tribesmen.
Take the tribal saber and the Tang knife to cut each other, and the broken nature is the tribal saber, and the Tang knife doesn't even have a gap!
After many years, the Tang saber is not good, and Wei Xi is in vain.
3. Armor!
It's light, but it's so tough that the tribesmen's knives can't cut it down.
。。。 Small details, the two non-commissioned officers carry silk clothes with them, that is Wei Xi's teaching, wearing silk clothes, when the enemy's bow and arrow shoot on the body, through the armor and enter the human body, the silk clothes are easy to bring out the arrows, which is convenient for treatment.
The tribesmen didn't know the trick, and they were shocked that the silk clothes were the clothes of the superior people in them, and those high-class people wore silk clothes to show off, but the soldiers on the other side did not seem to have high status, but they had silk clothes to wear!
It's amazing.
Fourth, grenades!
Each soldier carried three grenades with him.
The grenade wrapped in cardboard and tarpaulin was found by someone who found the fuse, and then there was an igniter next to it, so I went to try it.
However, they were smart enough to run.
Rumble!
The sound of the explosion startled them, and the flying iron nails and steel balls made their faces extremely ugly!
They know it's amazing!
If it hits someone, they gasp.
……
After seeing the equipment of the Tang people, Uraso asked the commanders, "What do you think?" ”
