Tian Yu and Zhou Xin were a little nervous, this was the first time in their lives that they had witnessed the war in person.

The accompanying barbarians were also very nervous, even if they were also barbarians, there were differences, and the familiar barbarians were also afraid of these barbaric and fierce barbarians.

They were the only ones who were nervous, and no one else was nervous. The 20,000 officers and soldiers who went south were not the strongest in the Song Dynasty, inferior to the Tibetan soldiers and inferior to the western soldiers, but they had one advantage, they had all been to the South China Sea, dealt with the local aborigines, and half of them had experience in skirmishes. Compared with barbarians, these natives are more backward and barbaric, and many of them are also very fierce. In their eyes, these barbarians are the indigenous people on the islands of the South China Sea.

Zheng Lang is even less nervous, because the civilization is backward, and the population is destined to be very fierce, such as giving birth to Jurchen, the rumors are exaggerated, but the combat effectiveness is indeed very strong in battle, it doesn't matter if one person is gathered, once it is gathered, it is undoubtedly a tiger division. But behind this illusion, these birth Jurchens are just as afraid of death as the future ancient people, and they will run away and surrender when they can't be defeated. Compared with the birth of Jurchen, these barbarians are still too far behind.

The more you are afraid of them, the fiercer they will be, and when you are not afraid of them, they will be afraid of you.

Listening to the voice getting closer and closer, Zheng Lang calmly ordered: "Liu Yimo and Jiang Qiuse, each lead a hundred soldiers or so to be on guard and prepare for battle." ”

"Whew," the two commanders replied aloud.

"Cao Beiwei, Zhao Liang, open the middle box in front of the convoy and take out the weapon."

"Wow", both of them led their men to the front of the convoy.

"Qin Shige, you lead a hundred soldiers to respond to the bait on both sides. Zhou Kai continued to direct the convoy to set off.

"Ah," both of them came out.

Cao Beiwei and Zhao Liang led the people to open those boxes, and inside were shields, not the large shields of the Song Dynasty, but the rattan shields commonly used by the southern barbarians. Although the military shield is good, it is controlled by the imperial court, and it will make people suspicious when they take it out. However, although these rattan shields are not as good as military shields, they were temporarily secretly made by Zheng Lang at the Guangzhou Ordnance Institute, and the quality is far better than the barbarians' self-made rattan shields. In addition to the rattan shield, there are also black lacquer leads, which look little different from civilian leads, but they are actually good ones brought from the Ordnance Supervision of the capital. And some improvements have been made before these introductions, taking into account the special terrain of the south, sacrificing range, but pulling the bow with less force, which can speed up the speed of arrows.

There are also crossbows, which were more strictly controlled in the Song Dynasty, and although they were powerful, they also did not dare to take them out.

Either the spears and knives that the guards already held in their hands were also the products of the Ordnance Warden. It seems to be very ordinary, but they are all first-class weapons in the Song Dynasty now.

There are far more weapons to bring with you, and now is not the time to take them out.

That's enough.

Seeing that Song Ping began to be on guard, the barbarians in the forest no longer concealed it, and let out a scream, intending to make the team fearful.

Disappointing them, the group continued to move forward calmly as if they did not know that they had been killed from the woods.

In fact, Zheng Lang was also a little surprised in his heart, now the vegetation damage is not serious, here, because of the sparse population, the dense forest makes people feel incredible, not only there are countless jagged ancient trees, there are dense bushes under the trees, and there are some thorns under the bushes, and some parasitic vegetation, and there are lush grasses below, just like a three-dimensional map, sealing the forest from bottom to bottom. But this sealed forest had no effect on these barbarians in the slightest.

said in his heart, fortunately, he was not careless and chose a decisive location in advance, otherwise he would really overturn the ship in this gutter.

Cao Beiwei and Zhao Liang are handing out weapons with their subordinates. …,

Lao Liu listened with his ears, and finally said: "There are more people on the right." ”

Zheng Lang gave another order: "Qin Shige, divide your subordinates into two parts, forty people on the left and sixty people on the right, with shields to cover." ”

"Whoa." One hundred people were divided into two halves, and Liu Yimo and Jiang Qiuse began to order their subordinates to pick up the arrows and prepare to fight at any time. Some people shouted, "Come on, these monkeys. ”

These barbarians are not monkeys, although they are slightly smaller than the Central Plains people, but they are definitely not the indigenous people of the South China Sea Islands. The form is similar, but the difference is not small, the natives of the South China Sea will also use arrows, the same, mostly use bamboo arrows, and spears, although some natives will smear some poison on the tip of the arrow, but relatively speaking, the weapons are very backward. The barbarians of Wuling are not as tall as the Central Plains people, but they are taller and stronger than those natives. Although almost isolated from the Central Plains civilization and somewhat affected, the weapons were much more advanced than those of the indigenous people. In addition, the battle on the islands in the South China Sea was openly fought as an army, Zheng Lang was also more solemn, and the soldiers were drawn from the Privy Council, and they could accompany the armor and weapons to use shields and crossbows and standard weapons openly, and at the same time wear armor, which can also play a protective role. But here he didn't dare to take a standard weapon, nor did he dare to wear armor, otherwise he would reveal his identity. Comparatively speaking, the danger of this war has also increased considerably.

Of course, there are also advantages, fighting on the islands of the South China Sea, it is far away from the homeland, going to a completely unfamiliar territory, and the heart is always not settled here. Zheng Lang, as the prime minister, calmly commanded, which also gave these people confidence.

The combat method is also relatively familiar, it is not a large-scale corps operation, and like the Nanhai Zhudao, it is a small-scale operation, and this soldier is also more adaptable.

As soon as the preparations were finished, the barbarians had already pounced on both sides of the mountain path and woods.

Seeing that this group of people was well prepared, there may be a few people who are interested in it, but they can't think of anything else.

Not long after the accident, since he dared to come, it was reasonable to bring some valuable goods and some more guards.

Bamboo arrows and short spears began to be shot, and there were some iron arrows mixed with them, whether they were made by the barbarians themselves, whether they were given to them by others, or whether they were robbed, it is not known.

If it was the other team, they would have fled in panic.

However, this time the barbarians were very sad, these hundreds of people were authentic forbidden soldiers. Either bring more than two hundred barbarian representatives, who are pushing small carts and have nothing to do with the battle. Seeing the bamboo arrows and short spears shot out, some soldiers stretched out their rattan cards to block the front, and the soldiers behind took out the arrows, put them on the bowstring, and aimed at the figures scurrying up and down in the forest, waiting for Zheng Lang's order.

Several soldiers were wounded by arrows, and one soldier was stabbed in the chest with a short spear, and after a terrible scream, he fell silent, and was probably killed. Zheng Lang still did not give an order, but only sent someone to rescue the wounded.

Because of the production of sulfuric acid, distillation technology has improved in recent years, and the cost of distillation has decreased. In the second year of Zheng Lang's tenure as prime minister, he ordered officials to allocate some money every year to make a batch of highly distilled spirits, with a high alcohol concentration, and it is not known how many degrees there are, only that they are so spicy that they dare not enter their mouths. These high-grade liquors have already played a role on the battlefield, and in the past, because there were no sterilized herbs, once injured, many soldiers became infected with their wounds, resulting in the loss of life. High alcohol is not a panacea, nor is it pure alcohol, but in terms of disinfection, it has a good effect, at least in many battles in Guangzhou, reducing the death of a large number of soldiers.

It was only then that the convoy slowed down. After all, listening to the screams of the wounded soldiers, some barbarian representatives were frightened and did not dare to push the cart, but stopped and watched.

Zheng Lang shouted: "Keep going." ”

It didn't do much.

Zheng Lang didn't give any more orders, and his soldiers didn't have to worry, they were worried that it was the representatives of these fearful barbarians that forcing forward would lead to some bad things, such as overturning the car, exposing their own details, or disrupting the formation, so he quietly looked at both sides of the mountain road.

Gradually, there were more shouts on both sides, and the weather was good, and it was a sunny day, and many barbarians could clearly be seen jumping and shouting in the woods.

Zheng Lang pressed his hand down, and then ordered Peng: "Shoot." ”
