Chapter 416: Seven Arrows Set Lingnan
Early the next morning, it was finally time to go on the expedition, Shi Lei and his subordinates, put on their respective equipment, the silk inner armor was worn closely, and the metal armor was just brought for the time being, because the weather here was really uncomfortable, and it was purely to find guilt for themselves when they wore too much, and the armor of the Shi family had a more humanized design, and it was very convenient to put on and take off, and it was too late to put it on when engaging in battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Feng Ang smiled and looked at Shi Lei's equipment, his envious expression flashed, he had seen the strength of these weapons and armor, but at present, this is unique to the Shi family, so he is not very easy to open this mouth.
As for the poor messenger who was given out as a gift yesterday, Feng Ang simply didn't bother to ask, anyway, what the consequences were, he just followed, and when he got to his position, he wouldn't be afraid of this kind of thing.
Signaling Shi Lei and them to follow, Feng Ang waved his hand, and the elite soldiers of Lingnan, who had long been ready to go, were now heading in the direction of Luozhou, and this time the action of attacking the rebels was officially started.
Shi Lei was riding a horse and walking beside Feng An, while also observing the situation of these elites under Feng An. I have to say that the reason why Feng Ang has been able to dominate Lingnan for so many years, and even has a bit of a dominance among the three major surnames in Lingnan, does have its own advantages.
His bearing, his wisdom, Shi Lei had a little insight before, and his ability to command troops can already be glimpsed from these sergeants.
Their abundant spirit, and the kind of morale and self-confidence that are obviously stronger than those of other realms in Lingnan, all show their elite, and this pride is also poured out by them with one victory after another.
Although compared with Shi Lei's subordinates, there must still be a big gap, after all, several times in Datang, it seems to be very rare to be able to compare with Shi Lei's subordinates, perhaps it is a few carefully selected Yulin Baiqi, etc., it can be said that the top elite cultivated by the power of the whole Tang Dynasty can be compared.
But these people are just the elite of Lingnan, and in the overall level of Datang, they will not be worse than those old soldiers, which is already commendable.
And when they looked at Feng An, the kind of reverence and trust from the bottom of their hearts was enough to show how high Feng An's prestige here was, and it was certain that it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The team continued to rush in silence, and at first glance, the rebel wingman seemed to be quite far away from Gaozhou across a state and county, but in fact, the boundary between the two states could only be seen on the map, but in fact, as far as the eye could see, all of them were almost the same mountains and dense forests.
With Shi Lei's problem as a road idiot, he can't figure out which side belongs to Gaozhou and which side belongs to Luozhou, that is, Luo Doudong is such an obvious landmark, so that people can have a basis for judgment. And Shi Lei and the others are now going straight to Luo Dou Cave, the center of the rebellion.
Although those bureaucrats said that they had rebelled, they were afraid of Feng Ang and his elite army, and these traitors did not dare to run out and jump at all, so they just shouted blindly on their own territory, and most of them were still cowering in their own cottages, ready to resist the danger and defend it.
Shi Lei didn't understand what the meaning of their so-called rebellion was, probably the effect of winning eyeballs and attention, and they couldn't snatch anything good from the surrounding states and counties, probably just to fight against the tax collection system of the Tang Dynasty. Well, anyway, it feels like Shi Lei is a bit of a suspicion of his own death.
However, as the saying goes, Wangshan runs dead horses, and this road is almost the same mountain forest, and what they walk is called the road, and there must be special soldiers in front of them to be responsible for overcoming thorns and thorns to open the way, so that this large group of people and horses can pass safely.
The dense foliage still obscures the sky, making it a bit confusing to see what time of day it is.
On this rugged mountain road, it took several days of hard work to wade through the mountains and rivers before they finally rushed to the pre-scheduled battlefield for repairs, if Feng Ang hadn't stopped them, Shi Lei would have been able to directly take his men and run to the other party's gate to scold the battle.
This road is too difficult to walk, coupled with the fact that the team is moving, all kinds of grain and grass materials have to keep up, and there is a ghost if you can go fast, Shi Lei is really suffocating.
He almost became a logistics baggage soldier, and he helped carry the grain truck many times along the way, and the strength of him and the bear in the team was great, and others needed to run a team of people to go immediately, and they could not necessarily push the hurdle over, at most they would go up together, and they would be able to carry the grain cart over the city at first.
So although the war has not yet started, the brave names of Shi Lei and Xiongxiong have already spread throughout the Lingnan Army. These guys, who were originally a little xenophobic, and who were a little disdainful of Shi Lei's name as the first fierce general of the younger generation, are now more convinced.
With the strength that ordinary people can hardly match, it is destined that this product must be a great general, and his previous exploits are all really killed from the battlefield, which is enough to make people agree. And what the level is, the war is about to start, won't they be able to really see it.
After a good meal here, it was a sumptuous meal for the people on the march, and the sergeants, who had become refreshed, set up a formation in front of the cottage.
The sergeants on both sides are not far apart, and the movements of the other party can be seen clearly, in the environment of Lingnan, if you want to stay farther away, you may not be able to see the figure on the other side. The forest is too dense and easy to obscure the view, and weapons such as bows and arrows can't hit the target, so they are blocked by these plants.
Seeing the arrival of so many Lingnan sergeants, the rebels in Luo Doudong had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, so they stood on the wall made of thick logs, shouting and scolding loudly in the local language of the bureaucrats, and the Feng family sergeants in the front row were not to be outdone, and they were also scolding loudly.
Then the scolding war escalated, and when he was about to make a move, Feng Ang stood up and said with a calm smile to Shi Lei, who consciously followed him and looked like the head of his bodyguard: "When my arrows are finished, this battle will be able to determine the winner or not, do you believe it or not?" ”
"I have long heard that the Guogong is a divine shot, and today is just a good time for the last general to appreciate it, and the last general is willing to plunder the formation for the Guogong, but I will be the vanguard of the pursuit later!" Shi Lei also said with a smile, the meaning of his words, he must have believed that those wingmen were about to be frightened and run away.
"Hahaha...... Okay, this pioneer old man will be given to you, and let me see the demeanor of the first fierce general of the young generation of Datang. Feng Ang laughed and agreed.
"Thief, look at the arrows!" Feng Ang shouted loudly, and then took a bow and shot an arrow.
The strong bow, which also looked like it had to have five stones, was quickly pulled open under Feng An's hand and repeated seven times. Before the first arrow hits the target, the seventh arrow is already in the air.
Feng An's long slightly gray hair, together with his bright red cloak, hunted in the wind, awe-inspiring like a god of war, and the eyes of the Lingnan sergeant were also firmly looking at the direction of his arrows, ready to attack at any time.
"Guogong is good at one-handed arrows!" Shi Lei exclaimed loudly. (To be continued.) )
