Compared with other armies that have worked hard, the equipment of veterans can be said to be extremely luxurious!

You should know that many officers and soldiers even share weapons with each other!

If there is no need to fight, all the weapons must be returned to the government warehousing.

Therefore, you can often see yamen runners going out to handle cases empty-handed.

This has led to the poor security force of the government, and the soldiers in the government lack weapons and cannot conduct actual combat training, and their combat effectiveness is getting lower and lower.

Veterans are completely different.

Just the most basic swords, everyone is equipped with three.

A long sword, used as a long-handled weapon, is equipped with a special grip for extension. As long as it is installed, it will be a long spear.

A short sword half a meter long is used to fight close range and fight with your face.

A dagger to meet the needs of the march!

The team leader of each group is also equipped with an additional sword. While issuing orders, the sword will also kill those cowards who do not obey the orders and escape in the battle.

At the same time, the strong crossbow is also the standard configuration for every veteran and the most used weapon!

The old saying goes well, seven steps away, the gun is fast!

Within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast!

The same applies to strong crossbows.

In addition to weapons, armor is also a must.

Like weapons, armor also has multiple configurations to deal with different situations.

For example, in this operation today, everyone was wearing the lightest scale armor, which was sufficiently protective and did not affect their ability to move.

In addition, Song Tianming also created heavy armor for everyone to fight against cavalry and plate armor necessary for heavy infantry!

This is all for the sake of preparation in the future.

In comparison, officers and soldiers seem much shabby.

Take the government soldiers of He County as an example. They only have the simplest set of leather armor, and they are quite thin. In addition to resisting some chopping, they have almost no ability to resist the piercing.

It’s a big deal to wear these to deal with bandits, let alone the brave barbarians of the other side?

As for the army in the northern border, the situation has not improved much.

Because of the large number of people and the lack of food and salary, some people can even use thickened cotton coats as cloth armor.

The protective power of this cloth armor is almost zero, and its only function is to resist the cold in the north and at the same time buffer the impact of the cavalry!

Finally, the private soldiers were supplies.

This is also the biggest difference between private soldiers and officers and soldiers.

Song Tianming's soldiers each had a special package for storing dry food.

In addition to the common dough cakes and clear water, Song Tianming also equipped everyone with jerky and fermented bean curd!

That's right, it's fermented bean curd.

This thing was also accidentally passed to Baoshangou by Song Tianming and was loved by the veterans.

Because you have to consume a lot of energy every day, although there is enough rice and flour supply, over time, the human body's salt will not be replenished enough, and you will still feel depressed.

And fermented bean curd solves this situation very well.

Now, veterans eat fermented bean curd almost every meal, which has become an important way for them to supplement salt and protein.

Seeing this, Song Tianming simply ordered the kiln to fire a batch of porcelain jars specially placed on fermented bean curd for easy carrying by the veterans, and added the fermented bean curd into the list of military rations.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. With so much black technology, Song Tianming naturally has high expectations for the veterans.

This battle must be fought beautifully!

Cunhuitang is closed at this time and there is no sound.

The veterans surrounded the entire shop, and then they quickly climbed up the wall and entered the yard.

Song Tianming couldn't see the situation, but he could hear screams from time to time in the yard!

About a stick of incense, the gate of Cunhuitang was opened from the inside.

Wei Wei walked out first, following the veterans, each of whom was escorting a shirtless man to Song Tianming.

"Sir, fortunately, everyone has already caught it."

Song Tianming was very satisfied with this speed:

"Okay, it's not too late to send it to the house and review it now!"

The whole team disappeared silently in the alley again.

And in several other stores, the same thing happened one after another!

From time to time, the villagers around him heard howlings and screams from the Qian family shop next to him!

Those who are brave, go out to check, but can only see teams of men in black walking in a hurry, escorting groups of men after group of men and disappearing into the night!

These people are full of murderous intent. Although they cannot see their faces, their eyes are frightening and dare not look directly at them!

When the villagers saw them, they all called them "Night Owl" in fear!

When this name came to the ears of veterans, everyone liked it very much.

You should know that other private soldiers are all named.

Only Song Tianming has never given him a private army, and everyone hopes to have their own name.

"Ye Owl?" Song Tianming slowly chewed on the name and thought it was very good.

He has never named a name before, because he is just a naming waste and can't think of any good words.

Since the people have given this title, it is better to obey your orders than to be respectful.

He announced in public: "From now on, we will call Ye Xiaojun!"

"Ye Owl is mighty!"
