Dahan Pirate Air Force

Chapter 90 Air Force Cavalry

Dadheboun had a sullen face and just nodded slightly, "That's not bad!" He turned to look at Zhang Bai and said, "I will arrange the tent for the king to rest as soon as possible. There are still some extra horses and weapons in the military camp. It's enough to provide you guys, send someone to pick some, I hope you can ride a horse." After saying that, he didn't look at Zhang Bai, arranged for the officer to take them, and then left on his own.

Zhang Bai bowed to his back and thanked Dadehburn respectfully.

He was secretly ecstatic in his heart. Does this mean he wants to form a personal guard cavalry?Thinking about the history of the past life, Nurhachi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty claimed to have thirteen suits of armor and raised an army, which eventually destroyed the Ming Dynasty which was in great prosperity for a while.He seems to be much stronger than Nurhachi. After all, he has more than 20 subordinates and immortal cultivators like Ma Ge Qingchi. His armor is heavy armor and his horses are tall Western Region horses.

The most important thing is that we are an air force with a spaceship. Aren't the cavalry on this ship a Marine Corps?

No, no, it’s not the Navy, it’s not the Marines... uh... Or should it be called the "Air Cavalry"?Zhang Bai snickered, it seemed a bit interesting, hehe.

However, it was the same officer again who took them to see horses and weapons. It was a bit unpleasant before. Fortunately, Zhang Bai relied on his skills as a businessman in his previous life and even started talking after a few compliments.The officer's name was Solomon, and by chance he was an Armenian.

Zhang Bai couldn't help but asked with some suspicion: "Why are there so many Armenians in the Parthian army?"

Solomon was a little surprised: "Are there many? I am the only one here. Have you met other Armenians?"

"I met several of them in the capital, most of them were soldiers," Zhang Bai replied.

"I see, that's not surprising," Solomon explained proudly: "Our Armenia is a mountainous area, where there are barren lands everywhere and no good harvests can be grown. Therefore, except for grazing, every household with strong body Men often join foreign mercenaries. Although being a mercenary is dangerous, you can earn a lot of money. I have a mother and younger brothers and sisters. I hope I can make their lives better. Besides, Armenia is a small country. If it is attacked, we Veterans have the ability to go back and save the motherland."

"I see. No wonder the Armenians I met are very skilled." Zhang Bai complimented quietly.

"Everyone you meet is an officer, right? We have been trained since childhood and are used to the battlefield, so most of them are veterans or officers. You are from the East, you look similar. What is your place like? You are also young. Are you going to keep fighting for years?”

"Who says it's not the case?" Zhang Bai made a helpless expression, "It's been fighting for decades. A rough calculation means that 2000 million people have died!"

Solomon was extremely surprised. He was holding his helmet under his arm because of the heat, showing an unshaven face. "Twenty million people? This is more than the population of Rome. Parthia and Kushan combined are not as good as ." He stared at Zhang Bai with wide eyes. Seeing Zhang Bai's indifferent look, he was dumbfounded for a while, then suddenly changed his face and said: "Hey! You little guy, are you bragging? Hahaha!"

Zhang Bai did not refute, but also laughed. Solomon lightly hammered him with his fist and said with a smile: I like you, boy. No wonder you can be the king's jester!Ha ha! "

Soon Solomon arranged the accommodation for everyone. The king lived alone in a large tent. Zhang Bai, Ma Ge, Chen Huo, and Zheng Chuo lived in another room next to the king's tent. The other entourage and soldiers were arranged a little further away. in several other tents.

While they were settling in, Solomon went back to his tent, and when he came back he brought a few soldiers with him.He was almost dressed in casual clothes. He didn't wear a helmet or most of the heavy armor. He only wore a piece of chain armor on his upper body for fun.At this time, he could be seen to be a handsome young man in his twenties, with blond hair. He did not have a big beard but shaved like a Roman, but it was not a clean shave.

"When you are all settled, follow me to choose weapons and horses!" Solomon said loudly.Zhang Bai agreed and immediately followed him.Brother Ma was also called over by him and followed him.

They arrived at the weapons depot first.In the barracks on the battlefield, it was said to be a weapons depot, but in fact it was just a circled area with several tents, and several piles of weapons and armor were piled in the open air.

"Each person can choose a saber or sword, a heavy weapon, a bow, and a pair of outer and inner armor. You choose!" Solomon said and ignored them, chatting directly with the acquaintances next to him. went.

Zhang Bai's eyes shone a little. Although the cold weapons did not necessarily have much power in his eyes, the important thing was the quantity.Soldiers in this era, regular troops and bandits and bandits all held similar weapons. The difference lay in the training of the soldiers, as well as the quality and uniformity of protective gear and weapons.

For example, the Yellow Turban Army a few decades ago had a large number of people, but the quality of their weapons was poor and uneven.The better one has a spear in his hand, which means the tip of the spear is made of fast iron, and the other parts are made of wood or even bamboo.The few who captured shields were unable to gather them together.It’s hard to say what happened to those who were close, and there were also quite a few who took hoes and sticks.Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army's combat effectiveness is very poor, and they are often defeated by fewer officers and soldiers.

Zhang Bai had originally prepared to form a relatively sophisticated and small army. Although he had gathered some manpower in Peshawar before, the weapons only relied on Suraj's temporary sponsorship, and the combat effectiveness still did not meet the requirements.At that time, Zhang Bai was forced to use Jianmu to make spearheads for everyone. Although the attack power was greatly enhanced, the armor protection was still not enough.He has been thinking about how to improve this situation from time to time.

But now there are standard weapons all over the floor, and valuable armors and helmets are everywhere, which saves Zhang Bai a lot of time.

He immediately let go and picked it up, one helmet and inner armor for each person, and one saber or sword for each person in the team.The black soldiers and the Central Plains followers each bought another pair of outer armor, but they did not carry heavy weapons because they already had wooden spears.Neither Zhang Bai nor Ma Ge wanted outer armor. On the one hand, they thought it was too heavy and stuffy. On the other hand, both of them had special skills in self-defense. Ma Ge knew the techniques of self-defense, while Zhang Bai had the leader's red robe.

After Zhang Bai specially helped Chen Zhuo and Zheng Chuo pick up two heavy spears and full armor, he suddenly thought of something else.I have read in history books in my previous life that it seems that the Parthian compound bow was unique in the world at that time. It had a long range, was light in weight, and was a short bow that was easy to carry. It was also the direct predecessor of Genghis Khan's Mongolian bow.He immediately picked a bow for each person and received a lot of arrows, and then he was ready to return home with a full load.

Solomon called the few accompanying soldiers around him and ordered them to send the weapons they picked to Zhang Bai and his tent. He took Zhang Bai and Ma Ge to the stable again.
