Chapter 75 Night Attack
In the army, cavalry is of course the most common, and the cost is the highest. There are also trump cards in the strokes. The most expensive ones are crossbow archers and iron armored soldiers.
Both types of troops are equipment. Although the materials for manufacturing crossbow arrows are cheap, the fineness is unimaginable. Therefore, it is expensive.
The iron armor of iron armor is more expensive. What is more important is that iron armor requires extremely strong bodies to wear heavy iron armor and fight on the battlefield.
These two harsh conditions make the iron-armored soldiers the most expensive army among infantrymen.
Liu Bei owned Xinye County and raised thousands of troops, but there was no iron armored army. It was not that he didn't want to raise it, but that his financial resources were insufficient. After raising three hundred cavalry, he could not afford the iron armored army.
However, there are 200 pairs of iron armor that Liu Bei cannot afford.
This is the real pie that fell from the sky. Compared with this, although it was a little difficult to wipe out Zhou Shun and others and lost some manpower, it was nothing at all.
He picked a water thief casually, but he could get such an amazing harvest. When Liu Feng screamed out, he couldn't help but want to wipe out another water thief nearby.
Fortunately, this idea only existed for a moment, because Liu Feng knew that the probability of this being a big fortune was too low.
Even if all the thieves in the world are wiped out, they may not be able to get two hundred pairs of iron armor.
But after the huge pie fell on his head, Liu Feng calmed down extremely.
"You said those things are hidden in the river?" Liu Feng sat back slowly, asked Zhou Shun softly, and said to Zhang Gui.
The calmness now is proportional to the loss of composure in the previous moment. It made Zhou Shun and Zhang Gui a little confused. But Zhou Shun still replied: "Pack it with a wooden box, seal it with waterproof cloth inside, and sink it at the bottom of the river nearby."
Originally, those things were placed on the island, but Liu Biao sent troops repeatedly to destroy them. So Zhou Shun and others sank the iron armor at the bottom of the river.
"Then let them continue to sleep, pretending I don't know." Liu Feng took a deep breath and said extremely resolutely.
"Why?" Zhang Gui shouted in dismay.
This is really hard to understand. No general would remain indifferent to two hundred pairs of iron armor. But after hearing the news, Liu Feng was not moved at all.
"I have my own difficulties, and these iron armors cannot be moved for the time being." Liu Feng answered Zhang Gui's question in a deep voice. He was undoubtedly serious. Although those iron armors are good, they will definitely be confiscated by Liu Bei if they are taken back.
He absolutely could not resist. It was unacceptable for Liu Feng, who intended to build a strong army so that he could stand in troubled times.
In this case, it would be better to let these iron armors sleep at the bottom of the river first, and then take them out and equip the entire army.
This is only temporary, Liu Feng told himself in his heart.
Whether it is Zhou Shun or Zhang Gui, they are all very professional soldiers. When the general above speaks, they will hide the doubts in their hearts.
After hearing Liu Feng's answer, both of them fell silent and did not continue to ask questions.
At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded outside the door. Then, Xu Tian walked in and some soldiers followed behind him.
"Sir, the gold has been counted, totaling 2,300 gold." After entering the door, Xu Tian bowed to Liu Feng.
"I understand, I'll send someone to take care of me first, and I'll transport it back in a few days." Liu Feng waved his hand to indicate that he knew. Xu Tian nodded and retreated.
After watching Xu Tian leave, Liu Feng glanced at Zhou Shun and Zhang Gui. Seeing that the two of them looked even more ugly, they could not hide their fatigue. They couldn't help but say, "Your injuries are not light, so go and rest first."
"No." Zhou Shun and the others responded to their orders. They knew very well about their bodies. They fought for a fight and left a lot of blood. It was indeed time to have to rest.
After the two left, Liu Feng sat alone for a while, then sighed.
After all, it is limited by identity, so it is restricted.
However, this time, I was just a training experience, but I got so many benefits, so I should be satisfied.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng let out a long sigh and found a woman from Zhang Gui, asking her to arrange the room and prepare to go to bed.
The experience of this training has hurt so much. Now everything is over. The soldiers have seen blood and have grown a lot through this war. After the soldiers make a round on this island, they will take some rest and consolidate the experience gained in this war.
As he thought about it, Liu Feng fell asleep.
In the early morning of the night, Liu Feng was gone, not by nature, but by noise.
I didn't know what happened when I touched Hei, but the sound of rapid footsteps came into Liu Feng's ears.
"What happened?" Liu Feng got off the bed and asked loudly outside while touching the darkness.
"Sir Qi, someone led his army to attack Du Island just now, but later he found out that it was just a misunderstanding. Now Lord Chen is guarding at the door." The voices of soldiers sounded outside the door.
"Lighting, I'll go out and take a look." Liu Feng was surprised. Someone would actually attack Du Dao. Surprised, he wanted to see the general under Liu Biao's tent. He couldn't help but order.
"No." The soldiers outside the door responded and walked in with a torch.
Under the faint firelight, Liu Feng walked out in a neatly dressed manner.
In the night, under the escort of soldiers, Liu Feng went down the hill and walked towards the west gate. There were only two places in the northwest of Du Island that could be accessed, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
After listening to the soldiers' explanation, the visitor attacked the second gate of the northwest at the same time. But the main force seemed to be at the west gate.
Liu Feng walked to the forefront of the west gate and soon arrived at the gate. Chen Da led the soldiers to guard the soldiers. His leather armor was neatly worn and his sword was held. The same was true for the soldiers behind him, and even more powerful archers were hiding in it.
"Who is attacking Du Island?" Liu Feng asked as he approached.
"It's a guy named Gan Ning." Chen Da couldn't help but answer when he heard Liu Feng's voice. Then he explained in detail.
Not long ago, a soldier guarding the gate found someone coming over on a boat. He beat the gong and was on guard and prepared to defend.
As a result, the visitor suddenly stopped and did not continue to attack.
Chen Da rushed over immediately after hearing the news. After talking to the people outside the door, he realized that the leader of the visitor was Gan Ning. Gan Ning explained that they were here to attack the thieves, and did not know that Du Dao had been captured by the official army, or because he saw a flag with the word "Liu" at the gate of the camp, he barely stopped.
But even so, Chen Da did not give up on his alert and continued to be on guard.
After hearing this, Liu Feng was a little stunned. Gan Ning? Why did this guy appear here?
"Sir. The person outside the camp has turned the bow of the boat and is planning to leave." Suddenly, a soldier reported to Liu Feng.
"Let them wait." Liu Feng woke up immediately and couldn't help but shout.
