Chapter 823: The Army

Speed up, the general has an order, ordering us to rush to the northern foot of Mangshan before sunset!"

A light rain fell in the sky, hitting the armor of the warriors, making a crisp sound.

The group struggled to move forward in the mud, and the atmosphere was a little scary.

Tang Ming looked at the misty mountains not far away, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of vigilance.

"Hurry up!"

Just when Tang Ming paused to look at the woods on both sides of the foothills, there was a hot pain in his shoulder.

The whip in the Overseer's hand was drawn mercilessly on Tang Ming's body, and the sealed body did not have the slightest resistance at all, and a blood-red mark appeared on Tang Ming's junior.

"I want to see the centurion!"

Tang Ming endured the sharp pain from behind him, and said to the Overseer with his hands clenched into fists.

He was now just a martial artist with no rank, so Tang Ming didn't have much touch on that whip.

"Nonsense, is the centurion you able to meet when you say it? Hurry up to Lao Tzu! or ......"

The Overseer didn't have time to pay attention to a creep's thoughts, and impatiently drew the knife from his waist.

Tang Ming sighed, and then followed the team without saying a word.

Now he is just an ordinary soldier, since he has let go of all his pride and persistence, he should know how to abide by the rules of a small soldier.

Tang Ming was sure that there must be ambushes in the mountains and forests on both sides of the opposite side.

At the northern foot of a huge Mangshan Mountain, there is not even a trace of birdsong, which is obviously abnormal.

Tang Ming kept up with the footsteps of the old man in front of him, and at the same time lowered his head and pondered how to let these people avoid a disaster.

"Lao Zhang, grandpa, why do I feel that this mountain is a little strange?"

The martial artist who walked in front of Tang Ming muttered to a strong man next to him in a low voice.

Tang Ming saw the jealousy of that dense forest from his eyes.

"Who says it's not, Lao Tzu also feels a little panicked in his heart, there can't really be any ghost waiting for us, right?"

The man known as Lao Zhang turned around slightly and said with a solemn face.

They have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and they have an almost gifted intuition for certain things, and the keen senses realized between life and death tell them that the dense forest ahead is not simple.

A battalion of eight hundred soldiers, they lined up at one time and began to walk towards the middle of the mountain forest, Tang Ming found that after entering here, everyone held their breath, as if they knew that this was a Jedi at all.

Tang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that with his current status, he couldn't stop these eight hundred people from moving forward no matter what.

After all, in the army, even if you know that it is a dead end, when the order comes, you can only die with your eyes closed.

The horses of the front team slowly walked towards the cracks on both sides of the mountain forest, and Tang Ming turned around and held the big bow behind his back.

The long arrow slashed through the flint, and a flash of orange flame began to spread from the arrow's body.

Tang Ming didn't even think about it, he drew his bow like a full moon, and before the Overseer could react, an arrow rushed into the dense forest like a meteor.

"Kill!"

Tang Ming, who had drawn his waist knife, let out a loud shout, and then retreated a distance of more than a dozen steps towards the back end of the valley.

The soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, and when Tang Ming's voice just fell, the pennant in the dense forest swayed, and countless Nanmang soldiers rushed from the dense forest on both sides.

The long knife that had already fallen behind Tang Ming also stopped in an instant, and the Overseer's eyes were cold when he saw the Nan Mang soldiers rushing out of the dense forest.

The Southern Barbarian soldiers rushed down the valley, but found that the valley was empty, and those soldiers of the Xuanyuan Dynasty did not enter the valley.

Tang Ming shouted loudly, making them think that the enemy had entered the urn, but they didn't want to find that those people had not entered the valley at all when they rushed down.

"Crossbowman, release the arrows!"

The Overseer and the Lieutenant were not fools, and looking at the scene in front of them, they suddenly gave an order, and all the Xuanyuan soldiers slammed the big bow behind their backs, and arrows rained down.

In the narrow valley, the Southern Barbarian warriors were crowded together, and it was difficult to even turn around, let alone avoid the rain of arrows.

In just a few breaths, after three rounds of arrow rain, there were very few Nanmang soldiers standing in the valley.

"Kill!"

The lieutenant took the lead, dragging the long knife in his hand and rushing into the valley, and the rest of the soldiers followed closely behind like fierce tigers.

Moments later, there was nothing but corpses in the valley.

Before sunset, Tang Ming and the others were going to cross the northern foothills, so after killing these Nanmang ambush soldiers, a battalion of men and horses continued to hurry.

"Go, get me the guy who fired the arrow!"

The lieutenant led the war horse and said lightly to a centurion beside him.

There are a lot of old soldiers who can sense that there is something strange in the mountains and forests, but it is not easy for that young man to come up with such a simple plan to break the enemy in such a short time.

A moment later, Tang Ming followed the centurion to the captain.

"Tang Ming, a third-class soldier of the Tanma Battalion, has seen the general!"

Tang Ming clenched his hands into fists and stood in front of Du Wei and said in a deep voice.

In other words, if you are an ordinary person, just because you have the great grace of the dragon with the human emperor, you will not put a captain in your eyes.

But Tang Ming is different, he knows what role he is now, and he can put himself in this position.

In the past, when he didn't join the army, this lieutenant was shabby when he saw him kowtow to him, but now it's different.

"You were the one who fired the arrows before?"

Du Wei looked at this strange young man with white hair and asked with a slight frown.

"Yes!"

Syllable......

As soon as Tang Ming's words fell, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and there were bursts of hot pain on his cheeks.

"What did I say when I marched to the northern foot of Mangshan Mountain?"

Du Wei looked at Tang Ming coldly, raised the horsewhip in his hand and asked sharply.

"The general said that anyone who makes a noise will be killed!"

Tang Ming endured the hot pain on his face and replied fiercely.

"Very good, it seems that you haven't forgotten, this whip is beating you for not respecting my general's order, do you obey it?"

The lieutenant finally put away the whip in his hand, and then changed his face to a different one.

"Serve. ”

Tang Ming nodded, he was not pretentious, he was really convinced.

In the past few days, he has seen a lot of things that he couldn't understand before.

Since he voluntarily gave up everything to devote himself to it, he had to abide by the rules here, and here he was just an ordinary soldier.

"Okay, because you acted decisively and saved the brother of the Tanma Battalion, General Ben promoted you to be the commander of the right centurion of the Tanma Battalion!"

"General Xie!"

Tang Ming arched his hand and said in a loud voice.

Du Wei waved his hand, and Tang Ming turned around and walked into the previous team behind him.

Soon the right centurion came to Tang Ming's side with people and assigned the five people under his command to Tang Ming's men.

"You kid is really shit lucky, before you go to the battlefield, you got a captain, and they all sat on Lao Tzu's head!"

After the centurion left, Lao Zhang turned around and looked at the white-haired young man in front of him with disdain, and said provocatively.

"Lao Zhang, speak politely! If it weren't for Captain Wu, we might all die in the valley by now!"

Lao Li stood behind Tang Ming, and they were a group of five, all of whom were now under Tang Ming's rule.

"Don't put a score for Lao Tzu, damn it, a soft egg who can't even hold a spear, why stand on Lao Tzu's head and pee?"

Lao Zhang snorted coldly, then turned around and followed the army, and no longer paid attention to this Wu Commander, who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks.

In terms of seniority, he is not a hundred times stronger than this sick young man? If he wants to be a military commander, it depends on whether he has the ability to do so.

"Captain Wu, don't care, Lao Zhang is such a fire pipe temper, but he actually has a naïve temperament!"

Lao Li Tou stood beside Tang Ming and explained as he walked, but having said that, there was also a trace of disdain in his eyes.

In the army, the most important thing is ability, otherwise even if it is a relative of the emperor, it will be difficult to stand in the army.

Tang Ming smiled faintly, he couldn't stand this foul language, what else to talk about returning to the top?

After marching for about half an hour, the Tanma Battalion finally arrived at the position designated by the forward general.

"Captain Tang, come here and your people will inspect the enemy along the way!"

Just when everyone was camping and tidying up, the right centurion came to Tang Ming, coldly left a sentence and turned to leave.

"Damn, I knew it was going to be like this, bad luck!"

After the centurion left, Lao Zhang glared at Tang Ming coldly, then turned around and picked up the crossbow and stood aside.

After camping, it is necessary to scout the horse scouts to explore the surrounding situation, but the people who generally shoot are veterans of a hundred battles, and the bloody fight between the scouts is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Tang Ming waved his hand, put down the work in his hand, and then led the five people with unkind faces towards the dense forest in the distance.

"Captain, isn't it too childish to let a newcomer serve you?"

The right centurion came to the lieutenant and asked with some confusion.

He wasn't worried that Tang Ming would have any accidents, but it was really inappropriate to pin the safety of the first battalion on a sick young man.

"Don't worry, I've already sent out two groups of scouts before, let him out, just to see if this guy can enter the captain's eyes!"

The corners of Du Wei's mouth moved slightly, even he didn't expect that a little-known young man could actually alarm the captain.

A few moments later, the few people who had been shuttling through the dense forest had swept out of the camp for ten miles, and there was not even a ghost here except for some low bushes.

Tang Ming stretched out his hand suddenly, and the five people, who were originally as fast as cheetahs, stopped instantly, and each of them hid in the grass and trees around them for the first time.

After a while, Tang Ming's outstretched palm was slightly forward, and the whole person rushed out of the grass.

Lao Zhang's face changed, and he was generally patrolled by scouts, ten miles is already the limit, what does this raw melon egg want to do?

But I want to think about it, but I am not idle at my feet, although I have already greeted Tang Ming's ancestors for eight generations in my heart, but my eyes have always wandered on the figure in front of Tang Ming.

Tang Ming took the lead, followed by five figures behind him, and after crossing a bush, they suddenly found a dozen or so sneaky figures retreating rapidly.

"Damn, I don't know if this luck is good or bad!"

Lao Zhang gently removed the crossbow behind his back, and stared at the dozen or so figures that were rapidly retreating with bright eyes.

In the ranks, the head is a military merit, if the five of them can bring back these dozen heads, then the reward alone will be enough for their hearts.

Tang Ming followed closely behind those figures, but to the surprise of Lao Zhang and the others, this guy just followed and refused to make a move.
