Chapter 118: Grand Commander
Zhang Pan arrived at the West Harbor of Changsheng Island by boat, only to see a continuous stream of warships and countless artillery pieces in the harbor, as if it was the size of a naval fleet.
He didn't know that these warships were captured by the Dang Tu Division, and the two places were thousands of miles apart, so the news could not spread so quickly. Therefore, when he saw that this so-called rebel army had so many warships and cannons, he immediately looked up a few times.
But when his boat sailed into the harbor, he was immediately shocked and dropped his jaw. Guess what he saw? Whether it is on the ship or land, it is all armored soldiers, and there are few soldiers who are not armored.
There are so many armor and shields, not to mention Dongjiang Town, which is like a flower child, I am afraid that it is difficult to reach the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, one of the elite of the nine sides of the court, and the average sergeant only has a fat jacket, and only officers above the hundred generals can wear iron armor, and most of them are chain mail, like the all-steel armor he saw in front of him, which is only available at the general level.
What a force this is! It is terrifyingly powerful, no wonder they can say that they want to fight Jiannu, it turns out that they do have some capital, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the equipment alone has already overwhelmed Jiannu.
Zhang Pan originally had the idea of incorporating this rebel army, but at this time he immediately completely rejected his previous decision. It seems that it can only be treated as a friendly army, or the kind of friendly army that cannot be offended.
Just when Zhang Pan's thoughts were like clouds, a small boat rushed to the harbor and came to his boat, and a small general on the boat stood up to the bow of the boat and saluted and asked: "This is the station of the Black Armor Army, dare to ask who is coming?" What's the point? ”
In fact, the person who came was just a slave soldier under Yang Yitengwu, and Zhang Pan and the officers and soldiers on the ship did not know the rank and class identification of the black armor army, so they mistakenly thought that they were the officers in charge of patrolling.
Zhang Panjiading replied in front of him, and he pointed to the Zhang Zi Jiang flag erected on the boat and replied loudly: "Don't you know this general flag?" My lord is the deputy general of Lushun under the governor of Daming Denglai, Zhang Pan and Zhang Gong, I have come to visit your leader, and please pass it on quickly. ”
was really right, the slave soldier was a full bun, he had never been out of Dabie Mountain before, and naturally he didn't know the banner of General Laoshizi. But he was still not ashamed, and proudly stood up and replied: "It turned out to be General Zhang in person, please wait, I will help you wait for the spread immediately." ”
In the eyes of the slave soldiers, the two armies are not in the same camp at all, they do not govern each other, and they have also killed the chief soldiers of the navy division of the court! The little lieutenant general should not put on a score, otherwise he will beat you up without discussion.
The young general's tone was very arrogant, and he didn't take him as a dignified deputy general in his eyes at all, if other people were like this, he would have been furious, but this mysterious rebel army is powerful and close neighbors, so he can't be offended, so he stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates from trying to teach that person a lesson.
"Master, this guy is rude, and the slave is ......" The family was still indignant, and was interrupted by Zhang Pan's sharp voice: "Enough, we are guests, and it is not appropriate to cause more trouble." ”
"Yes," the man bowed, and then stepped aside.
Soon, Yang Wenli arrived with the slaves and the escort, and when he saw that Zhang Pan's ship had not yet docked, he ordered his men to quickly arrange for the ship to lead the way.
When the ship docked, Zhang Pan stood at the bow and saw a team of neatly arranged armor soldiers on the left and right, protecting a young general with a light sky. He expected that the young general must be the leader of this group, and there was no doubt that he would be the leader of the group.
Sure enough, I only heard the young general shouting at him with his hands clasped in his hands: "On the boat, General Zhang is in front of him, and Yang Wenli, the commander of the Black Armor Army, is here to wait for General Zhang's arrival." ”
Yang Wenli called himself the commander because he wanted to be more formal and sound better, although the title of the big boss was also majestic, but in a formal occasion, he couldn't be put on the table, and others knew that he was the king of the bandit mountain when they heard it.
"Black Armor?" This is the first time Zhang Pan heard the name of the black armor army, but it is indeed clear that all the generals are dressed in black armor, and the only one who can identify the young general in front of him is probably the high spire and dense red tassel on his helmet, and the spire of other soldiers is much shorter, and some even have only a small round ball, without tassels.
Of course, this was just a thought in Zhang Pan's heart, but he replied loudly without delaying for half a moment: "It turned out that Commander Yang personally greeted him, polite!" You're welcome! ”
When Zhang Pan replied, he had already led people down the side of the boat, Yang Wenli hurriedly greeted him, and then hugged Shili and said, "General Zhang, please talk to the cold house." ”
"Commander Yang, please lead the way" Zhang Pan is also single, as long as he is not a slave, or a Longtan tiger's den, he dares to break in, so he casually agreed to go to the meeting.
Along the way, Zhang Pan and his subordinates saw that the soldiers in black helmets and black armor could be seen everywhere practicing martial arts, some were practicing arrows, some were practicing sparring, and some were practicing alone, but there were no officers supervising them, all of them were very conscious, sweating profusely and energetic, like dragons and tigers, all of them were not as lazy as the soldiers in Dongjiang Town.
Of course! Zhang Pan thinks that these are just some fancy tricks, and they have to rely on the courage and experience of veterans to go to the battlefield, and these recruits from the south are afraid that they will pee their crotch when they go to the battlefield.
This is the second day after he first came to Changsheng Island, Yang Wenli gave the soldiers three days off, but they are all very consciously practicing in armor, this is the charm of the slave hierarchy and the very fair promotion system set by Yang Wenli, and all the slaves want to be soldiers.
In ancient times, the slavery system was not backward, on the contrary, even these slave soldiers at the lowest level were very supportive, because they also wanted to be soldiers.
If Zhang Pan knew that these soldiers were all consciously training, and they were all bandits who had seen bloody murder, he would not have despised it so much.
Yang Wenli led Zhang Pan and his entourage to the hall, and stretched out his hand to invite Zhang Pan to the main seat on the right side of the seat: "General Zhang, please take a seat." ”
The main seat on the right side is a VIP seat, which means that he is on an equal footing with the host, and he is very respectful, so Zhang Pan is very happy, and he takes a seat in his robe without pushing.
Yang Wenli himself accompanied him in the main seat on the left, and several of Zhang Pan's right-hand men sat down at the bottom. After everyone was seated, the slaves served tea to everyone.
Zhang Pan saw that Yang Wenli was the only one accompanying him, so he asked suspiciously: "Commander Yang, are you the only one in charge of these thousands of people?" What about your subordinates? ”
"Alas! I'm not afraid of General Zhang's jokes, it's ugly when I say it, my generals are all big and coarse, and they don't know a single big character, so I sent them to be literate. Yang Wenli replied awkwardly.
"Huh! The majority of military generals are illiterate, as long as they are brave and dare to fight, it is not a shortcoming. After listening to Yang Wenli's explanation, Zhang Pan relieved his doubts, and he replied with a smile.
Zhang Pan took a sip of tea from the teacup, took the opportunity to brew the topic, and said: "Commander Yang, a few months ago, when your subordinates passed by Lushunkou, they claimed that your Black Armor Army was a righteous army that came to Liaodong to fight Jiannu, I don't know if it is true?" ”
"That's right, we are the rebels who came to Liaodong to fight Jiannu, and I believe General Zhang can also see that we are not Jiannu.
But...... Because my army only arrived yesterday, we still have to go through a period of recuperation and training to adapt to the climate and environment in the north, and until the snow freezes and the southern flood mouth freezes, even if we don't look for Jiannu, Jiannu will also land on the island to fight us, which is a matter of time or time.
Therefore, our Black Armor Army has a fight, but now there is no need to rush for a while. Yang Wenli admitted calmly and said his initial plan.
