Wang Li was shocked and bent down to take the infantry armor from Na Qi's hand.
The infantry armor given by Zhang Qi is a complete set, including upper body chain mail, iron-inlaid breastplate, shoulder gauntlet, arm armor, gloves, leg armor, and leather boots.
The whole set weighed more than thirty kilograms, but Wang Li didn't dislike it at all, and his face was only flushed with excitement.
He hadn't noticed the infantry armor stacked up just now, thinking it was a set of leather armor, but after getting started, he realized clearly that it was a set of metal armor.
Metal armor!
On the grassland, if you go to those tribes with a population of less than 100,000, you can get tens of thousands of cattle and sheep!
The Huns could smelt iron and copper, but they were short of iron.
Coupled with the mobility of their nation, they were unable to produce metal armor on a large scale like the Han Dynasty.
In the entire grassland, except for several large Xiongnu tribes such as the Luotang tribe, the Loufan tribe, and the Aries tribe, no other tribes had mature iron smelting technology.
Wang Li's hand holding the infantry armor was trembling. If he was still in the tribe before, this set of armor would have to be provided.
Wang Li knelt on his knees and knocked his head on the ground.
"Thank you for the reward. I am very grateful. I will definitely work hard!"
Zhang Qi chuckled twice: "Haha, why are you doing this, Marquis Wang? It's just a set of armor. Get up quickly."
Zhang Qi said this, but Wang Li did not stand up immediately. Instead, he kowtowed a few times before standing up.
After getting up, he held the infantry armor in both hands and stood behind Zhang Qi's cross-country horse, standing there quietly.
Zhang Qi looked at the curious eyes below and clapped his hands. Immediately, Naqi led the female soldiers to put down the remaining dozen sets of infantry armor on their horses.
Zhang Qi cleared his throat and said loudly on the cross-country horse: "Everything is fine. I am very pleased with the changes you have made in recent times. You have grown from a group of dirty slaves dying to a man who can now fight with a bow and a knife." Sergeant, you are all very good."
"But this is not enough!"
"I tell you the truth, this mountain forest does not belong to us, but to a group of homeless dogs. They sit on the vast land, but they can only shrink into a corner and dare not even touch the Huns' beards."
"Tell me, do these homeless dogs deserve to enjoy such a vast mountain forest?"
Zhang Qi spoke loudly, and the soldiers also held their heads high and their chests high. Dozens of days of training had already cultivated some of their bloody spirit.
So, Zhang Qi, who was riding a cross-country horse, immediately heard a deafening roar: "Not worthy!"
"Not worthy!"
"Not worthy!"
The sound rose to the sky, and the birds that had circled around and found that there was no danger and returned to their nests once again flew into the sky, chirping as if they were cursing the evil people below who disturbed the birds' dreams.
Zhang Qi stretched out his hand and pressed it.
The soldiers stopped shouting.
He laughed and said: "Hahaha, okay! With such a bloody spirit, after the spring begins, I will lead you to seize a piece of land that belongs to us!"
"Did you see these metal armors on the ground?"
"Do you want to wear it on yourself and fight the enemy bravely?!"
"think!"
There was another mountain roar, and the birds in the sky who were preparing to return to their nests all fluttered their wings before returning to the trees this time. This time their wings were whirring extremely hard, leaving their flight feathers all over the ground and flying outward. Walk.
We can't afford to offend him, let's hide away!
"Since you want to wear it, then use twice as much strength in training as before. I will leave these armors to your military commanders with full control. As long as you can catch his eye, you will be eligible to get a piece of metal armor. "
"And, let me just say this, as long as you can get metal armor, you can upgrade it to three levels in a row!"
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the military formation. They were upgraded to three levels in a row. Judging from the current composition of the army, as long as they obtain a piece of metal armor, these people can jump from a big soldier to a 'team leader'.
If you are a corps commander from the beginning, you can become a 'tunnel commander'!
If these people were just working hard for a piece of life-saving armor at the beginning, then the motivation of these soldiers has changed from life-saving to power.
Power has moved people's hearts since ancient times. For men, as long as it is about power, they have no resistance at all.
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
"..."
At first, there were still a few words of praise for Zhang Qi in the army, but gradually, their shouts became more uniform.
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
"..."
The sound was deafening. When the flying birds heard the movement here, they flapped their wings disdainfully. Hum, you haven't eaten yet, the sound is so small.
After announcing the reward he would give, Zhang Qi turned his head and looked at Wang Li: "Do you remember what I said?"
Wang Li, who was holding the infantry armor, nodded: "I will remember this."
"Well, okay, mobilize their enthusiasm in the next month or two. Regarding the metal armor, I won't allow you to engage in malpractice for personal gain."
"I'm so humble, I don't dare! Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Wang Li bowed his head humbly and said, he didn't lie. He really didn't dare to cheat on this matter. He had witnessed Zhang Qi's mysteries with his own eyes. Who knew if his emperor had other methods? He still wants people from his former tribe to control many grassroots military positions.
But now that Zhang Qiqi has spoken, let's see the real results in training and convince everyone.
"Yeah." Zhang Qi groaned, and then ordered Na Qi.
"Let's go and offer condolences to several other military camps."
"Yes, Master."
Then he stepped forward and took the reins, and then led Zhang Qi out of Wang Li's military camp.
The remaining military camps are also scattered some distance apart.
The eagle is on the upper left side of Wang Li's tribe. He has the largest number of servants, more than 600 people, so three camps were built, each with a song.
Zhang Qi mobilized the enthusiasm of these soldiers just like Wang Li's troops, but because the metal armors were all given to Wang Li, the rewards Zhang Qi set in Ying's army were still promotion to military positions and a wife.
Not to mention, the mention of wife rewards also made these former slave soldiers excited.
But it's normal. They are full and warm and have lustful thoughts. Now they have no shortage of food with Zhang Qi's supply. After leisure, they will inevitably think of passing on the family line.
But what they didn't know was that Zhang Qi had the idea of starting a family for them. If he wanted to have more people, he would still survive.
The company visited all the military strongholds to express condolences.
With the rewards set, these soldiers also became extremely motivated like Wang Li's tribe. Zhang Qi didn't know how long this enthusiasm would last, but as long as they could persist until the beginning of spring, they would maim or even kill the Donghu people. .
He has many ways to keep the morale of these soldiers high while fighting.
