At the gatehouse of the north gate, Lu Ning stared intently at the direction of the Dengshan military camp.

Beside him, Zhang Lao joined the army, and his face was full of surprise.

Just now he was inspecting the south gate, although he was depressed all his life, but he has been conscientious about his own work.

Donghai Gong suddenly rushed like a wind, so he closed the four gates, he thought that this young magnate drank too much and drank too much, but then, he was carried by the neck of Donghai Gong to the north gate, all the way he had no ability to resist, and close to the north gate, he had already seen the people who were scattered and fleeing, and heard the horn and faint shouting from the north.

Hurriedly sent the order to order the four guards to close the door, and he also came to the north gate gatehouse, but the military camp at the foot of the mountain was still far from here, and he could only see as if some black spots were moving, and in front of the barracks fence, a large number of black spots had also gathered.

"Donghai Gong, what's going on?" Seeing that Donghai Gong has been looking into the distance, Zhang Lao joined the army and said What are you looking at? Can you see what is going on on the battlefield?

However, thinking about the situation when he was just carried by the neck of this Donghai Gong, his whole body was sore, Zhang Lao joined the army and was even more frightened, this Donghai Gong seems to be a second ancestor who only knows how to enjoy lewdness, why, how can he have this divine power?

Moreover, when the enemy army attacked, he immediately knew that it was himself, and he still needed to be coerced by him to get a warning and close the city gate.

Could it be that he is not so superficial and frivolous as he seems? But there are a million armor soldiers in his chest?

Zhang Lao was in the army and was in doubt, in the distance, suddenly there was a faint roar, he was startled, and asked urgently: "Is it the Han army?" ”

The western border of Zhangzhou is the Han Kingdom that occupies the east and west roads of Lingnan, and in terms of Luning's geographical and historical cognition, it is the Southern Han Kingdom that occupies Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan.

The current lord of the Southern Han Dynasty is Liu Sheng.

Although the Southern Han Dynasty occupied the port of Guangzhou, the rest of the territory was mostly barren and barbaric, and the overall strength was weak.

However, Zhang Lao joined the army, and Zhang Dingnan heard the howl of the elephant, so he naturally thought of the legend that the Han army had a legend that the elephant soldiers were used as cavalry.

"It's not like the Han army, looking at the clothes, it looks like a cave barbarian." Lu Ning looked into the distance and said casually.

In fact, with his eyesight, it was only a rough look, the guards had formed a phalanx, and in the front row, there were two columns of shield soldiers, huge thick wooden shields, lined up in two long columns, and the next row of longbowmen were ready to go, they were not only archers, but also Pak sword soldiers in close combat. Finally, there is a knife array full of knives, and with just one conversion, you can top the front row to reject the horse.

And the enemy ......

Lu Ning didn't go down but watched from afar, just thinking that this battle was not dangerous, and he really wanted to see the combat ability of the Dianwei Army in the absence of his own.

Most of the enemies were unkempt and naked, covered with blades of grass and animal skins, and they were a group of fierce brutes with white mud on their faces.

The legendary cave man? It is rumored that they are fierce, cannibal and bloody, and they are like monsters, few in number, and live in the dense forest.

However, without any protective equipment, what about the toughest? Armed to the teeth, the guards and guards wearing their own carefully crafted heavy armor, are simply stones that they can't gnaw on.

There are quite a few of them, and I am afraid that there are more than a thousand, and there are a few elephants in the rear, and in the bamboo frame carried by each elephant, there are a few barbarians with bows and crossbows.

Hearing that the Duke of Donghai said that the enemy chief was a cave barbarian, Zhang Dingnan pondered and shook his head: "There is no way that there are so many cave barbarians in the local area, when Chen Gong was a barbarian in the fifth generation, the cave barbarians have long been assimilated and disappeared, and there are scattered and not a climate in the mountains and dense forests!" ”

Lu Ning knew that the Chen Gong he was talking about was Chen Zheng, the general of the Tang Dynasty who opened up Zhangzhou three hundred years ago, and he brought a large number of Chinese immigrants, and there were many people to commemorate him later, and the Song Dynasty also posthumously awarded him the Marquis of Zuochang Kaiyou, in order to commemorate his contribution to the cultivation of Fujian, this kind of merit has nothing to do with the dynasty, and it is a great merit to the entire Chinese nation.

Listening to Zhang Dingnan's words, Lu Ning's heart moved slightly, although this old soldier belongs to the group that stands aside, but he must know the local situation in Zhangzhou well, he said that it is impossible for Zhangzhou to gather and make things happen, then it must be true.

So, where do these barbarians come from?

It was such a coincidence that when I arrived in Zhangzhou, I was suddenly harassed by so many barbarians.

If it weren't for the high mountain barracks to hold the dangerous ground, these barbarians had to attack this barracks first, for fear that these barbarians would have raided into Zhangzhou City.

The Liu's brothers, the barbarians in the Northern Han Dynasty who colluded.

In the Southern Han Lingnan East Road and Lingnan West Road, there have always been many barbarian autonomous fetter states, and they were controlled by the Tang Dynasty's economic envoys, jiedu envoys and the current Southern Han lords, but in fact they are all hereditary independent kingdoms of the family, and there are not so many rules and regulations.

Lu Ning's eyes slowly narrowed, in fact, if it involved his own power, the Liu brothers immediately showed their cold-blooded and cruel side, even at the expense of the slaughter of the people of Zhangzhou, as long as they could drive away or even kill themselves, the Tang officials.

Human beings are inherently extremely complex animals, and there are many bad people in the absolute sense, but good people like saints are rare.

When Lu Ning was thinking wildly, there were a series of screams in the distance.

"Donghai Gong, what's wrong? What's going on? Zhang Lao joined the army Zhang Dingnan asked anxiously, he only hated himself for being dizzy and dizzy, and he couldn't see as far as Donghai Gong.

A group of barbarians who were roaring like beasts and rushing forward in the forests of Gouxi Mountain, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the front of the Tang army, suddenly, in the long formation of the Tang army, a rain of arrows poured out, drawing an arc like urging life, falling into the ranks of the barbarians, and the barbarians who were hit by the arrows screamed and fell to the ground.

"Bang bang bang", the barbarians who rushed to the front slammed the wooden shield that was more than one person high, and they smashed it with axes, hammers, and wooden sticks tied to iron tools.

The shield array trembled, but it was not scattered at all, obviously, unlike the shield arrays they had seen before, there must have been some mechanism within it that linked the huge shields together, forming a common force.

The barbarian with a bright brain suddenly found that there was a faint gap between the wooden shield and the wooden shield, and immediately jumped over and wanted to use an axe to split into the gap, and then, as soon as his chest was cold, a handle of the cold Sensen Mo knife stabbed out of the gap, and the barbarians immediately screamed loudly and fell down in front of the wooden shield one by one.

"Bang" a loud sound, but it was an arrow cluster that fell next to the brute elephant crossing the stream, hitting the pebbles, I don't know why, there was a loud bang, the brute elephant was immediately frightened, the proboscis hissed, the front two giant legs were raised, and several barbarians on the bamboo frame immediately fell to the ground.

"Bang bang bang", loud noises one after another.

Several barbarian elephants immediately went crazy, scurrying around among the barbarian soldiers, and the barbarians cried for their fathers and mothers, and fled in all directions.

Lu Ning's heart was dripping blood, was it so easy to make some arrows with gunpowder? It is said that the arrow cluster should be hollow, and there is some room for movement, so that the flint inside can hit the fire, ignite the gunpowder inside, cause an explosion, and cause a loud noise, just to frighten the enemy cavalry.

What a waste! Dealing with these barbarians is really a knife to kill chickens!

Moreover, this kind of arrow is too laborious to make, and I have already abandoned this idea, and it is just some finished and semi-finished products, and I have handed it to them.

Another kind of blasting arrow, itself in the conception.

However, this operational idea is correct.

Lu Ning gritted his teeth for a while, and felt relieved for a while.

Zhang Dingnan on the side looked at it, and smiled bitterly in his heart, in the past, Donghai Gong was like this, he would feel that he was nervous again, but now, there is a feeling that he is unfathomable, which is really helpless.

In the Tang army's formation, a group of horsemen rode out and began to pursue the retreating barbarians to reap the results.

There is only one cavalry shooting, all of them are selected extremely talented marksmen, the master Lu Qing is a young man with red lips and white teeth, Lu Ning has personally trained at night for two months, and he almost took off three layers of skin from the training of this young man.

Although this team of cavalry and archery is not an elite soldier now, it is naturally not a problem to harvest the defeated barbarians.

Nearly 100 good horses from the East China Sea Racecourse also came by sea, and although they were taken care of very carefully, more than a dozen of them died of illness, which made Lu Ning feel a little sorry.

At this time, seeing that the cavalry shot flew out, and the overall situation had been decided, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Lao Zhang, the barbarian has been defeated!" ”

"Really!" Zhang Dingnan was overjoyed and said: "The envoy sent by the lower officials to Quanzhou for help is afraid that he will not be able to go far after leaving the city. ”

Lu Ning bowed his head slightly and was silent.

"Donghai Gong, I look at it faintly, the number of barbarians seems to be quite a lot, Donghai Gong's pro-army is really the elite of the army!" Zhang Dingnan gave a thumbs up.

He then frowned again, "In this matter, if you want to ask Liu Sheng, the puppet lord of the Han Kingdom, the barbarian must be from the Han realm!" ”

Lu Ning smiled: "Look again!" ”
