One of the scouts turned out to be Liu Shun. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Ming's three recruits, who had just become scouts, went up to confiscate all the weapons of the bandits, and then stuffed a letter of surrender into the arms of the bandits, who turned pale with fright.

"I won't kill you, but if you don't bring this letter back to your chief, the result will be something you don't want to accept!" Liu Shun shouted.

The bandit held the letter suspiciously, slowly withdrew from the scouts, and then disappeared into the grass with a flash.

Liu Shun's scout camp has finally expanded on a large scale!

It has expanded from 300 people to more than 1,000 now, a threefold increase in the number of people!

This trip to Mount Tai was a good opportunity to train the troops, and each group was composed of four people, led by a veteran scout with a very high level of experience, and a soldier under Chang Feng who was familiar with Mount Tai, plus two scout recruits who had just been selected.

Their task was to capture all the enemy scouts and bring back the surrender letter that Feng Yao had prepared in advance!

The Taishan thieves are scattered in Mount Tai, and their actions are very hidden, if they take the initiative to find them one by one, it is difficult to find them all.

In addition to training scouts, the rest of the soldiers also trained at the same time, because there was no baggage car, so each soldier in addition to carrying their own luggage, but also had to carry their own rations and drinking water, plus a body of weapons and armor weighing dozens of pounds, the total weight was more than 100 catties!

Moreover, Feng Yao especially emphasized that this march was thrilling and dangerous, so the luggage and food that the elite soldiers usually handed over to the miscellaneous servants must be carried by themselves this time!

In order to boost morale and attract the attention of the Taishan thieves hidden in the deep mountains, the generals of each leading army have different marching slogans, and from time to time they will roar out in unison, and the roar vibrates in the valley, and the birds and beasts in the mountains are all frightened and scatter and flee.

However, not all teams are highly motivated, there is one team, almost all of them are cloth armor, and the weight is nearly twice as heavy as the other soldiers, but they are at the end, panting for breath in their mouths, and from time to time they look at the elite soldiers in front of them who are wearing heavy armor and have high morale, with a respectful look in their eyes.

There were 10,000 people in this armoured army, and they were once under the command of the pirates, but now, they were part of Feng Yao's army!

In the water, they can do anything, but mountain trails are not their forte! Although they are all selected from tens of thousands of pirates, they are elite pirates that Guan Cheng is proud of!

At this time, Guan Cheng did not lead his own troops, but was at the forefront of the army, following Feng Yao's side with reverence on his face.

Guan Cheng is eight feet tall, almost as tall as Feng Yao, because he has been exposed to the sea all the year round, his face is like jujube, and he is very rough, his weapons are a large wooden shield inlaid with leather and a heavy one-handed broadsword, and a long rope that is often wrapped around his waist, and his armor is refined leather armor!

There was also a short bow on his back, and a leather quiver with twenty arrows!

This whole set of equipment is the most suitable for naval warfare equipment, mainly lightweight, of which the wooden shield is a must-have, not only to prevent arrows, but also to fall into the water when in a critical situation, floating on the water, you can borrow strength, usually when sleeping on the boat, you can also use the shield to block the scorching sun!

Because when Guan Cheng came, Dai Ling had already led the army to leave with all the baggage, and did not leave any extra iron armor to equip Guan Cheng's pirates.

The road in the mountain is bumpy, and many times, because the road is too narrow, Feng Yao has to order the army to reopen a number of mountain roads, so from time to time, the mountains and rocks are removed by the army, rolling down the cliff, and there is a loud roar!

Those branches or thorns that blocked the way were all cut off one by one by Feng Yao and his relatives!

Guan Cheng also shouted from time to time, learning from Feng Yao's appearance and struggling to open the road, waving the big knife in his hand from time to time, cutting off the thorns blocking the way and picking them open!

Everyone, did not ride horses, although those war horses were also with the army, but at this time they were following behind, led by the groom, and on the horse's back, except for the saddle, there was no weight, and the luggage that could have been placed on the horse's back had to be carried by himself at this time, including Feng Yao, who was the lord.

Feng Yao's big shield is made of all-steel, weighing sixty catties, and the armor is Mingguang armor, although it is a little lighter than the thickened iron armor, but Feng Yao has specially made armor to protect the lower arms and legs, and the total weight is still more than eighty catties, Feng Yao's luggage is even heavier than others, almost fifty catties, plus weapons, the total weight is more than two hundred catties!

These two hundred catties are just the most standard weight of a beauty, and Feng Yao imagined these additional weights as the scene of carrying a beauty to open the way, so his face was relaxed and cheerful, walking like flying, dancing the sword of the green sword, where the cold light flickered, the thorns were like nothing, and they were cut into countless sections and swept aside.

Although Guan Cheng's weight is much lighter than Feng Yao's, it is not as easy as Feng Yao, mountain roads are not his forte, after driving for a while, he is a little red and panting, sweat on his forehead comes out, and compared with Feng Yao's ease, Guan Cheng is ashamed!

Before that, Guan admitted that Feng Yao was just a young man who had not yet been weakly crowned, and he relied on his subordinates to return Lu Bu and Yuan Shu behind him to have his current status, although he was moved by Feng Yao's courtesy and Wang Sheng's persuasion, and took the initiative to vote for Feng Yao, but deep in his heart, there was always a trace of unconvincing.

However, with the contact in the past two days, as well as what he has seen since the march, the trace of dissatisfaction in Guan Cheng's heart slowly turned into an incomparable admiration for Feng Yao, and deep in his heart, he was secretly glad that he could meet a lord like Feng Yao! Proud of his decision!

It took three days for the army to pass through the edge of Mount Tai and come to the hinterland surrounded by Mount Tai, Fenggao City, Taishan County.

And at this time, it is already the seventh day of April! The weather was already very warm, but not hot!

During the three days of this march, dozens of large and small thieves in Mount Tai were frightened, some were excited, and some were frightened and some were excited because they didn't care, and some of the thieves who didn't send scouts to inquire about the news also saw Feng Yao's surrender letter from other thieves, and then panicked.

Some of the thieves gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"What if we pretend we don't receive a surrender?" A very, very stocky thief asked.

"I think, Feng Yuanjun will be very angry, and then send his generals into the mountains to besiege us, I heard that there is a general under his command, surnamed Wei Mingyan, this person once led the army to fight with Cao Cao alone, Cao Cao's army was defeated, this person once wanted to raze all the cottages of our Mount Tai!" The other tall and thin thief leader replied fearfully. (To be continued.) )
