Chapter 664: Changing Face (Below, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Another flotilla approached, and cheers rang out from the outpost. There are "businessmen" as tough as Zheng Lang, but there are very few, and most of the businessmen come to this remote place, afraid of these local snakes, so they are given the opportunity to extort.
Having learned the lesson of the last time, a dozen soldiers were fully armed together, and even the heavy armor was fully dressed, before leaving the post and standing together by the dock, waiting for the ship to dock.
Soon it was discovered that something was wrong, the ship was getting closer and closer, although it was dusk, and the people on board could be gradually seen, the waterline of the ship was very deep, but there were very few people on board, but the eyes of a dozen soldiers were narrowed one by one.
People are very few, but there are horses. Horses have seen, there are a small number of short southern horses in the south, but never seen tall northwestern horses, almost human-tall horses in the afterglow of the setting sun, beautiful manes shining gold, like a majestic beast. Although it is beautiful, it gives these soldiers a heavy sense of oppression. Then look at people, not people, not ordinary people, but soldiers, but all of them are tall and burly, and some of them have hideous expressions in their eyes, and they are also like monsters that come out of the wilderness.
I had never seen such a soldier, never seen such a tall horse.
More than a dozen soldiers and ruffians opened their mouths one by one, and their mouths were dry.
The boats had reached the dock, the boatman put the ropes on the stakes, and one by one the boats approached one by one, and a big man walked down from the boat.
One of the soldiers had not yet reacted, and asked cautiously, "...... are you?"
Syllable!
The leather whip in the big man's hand was whipped, and a single whip almost knocked the soldier to the ground.
"You ......"
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
Whip after whip down, stunned these soldiers, and did not dare to resist, one by one stunned, but only for a while, finally reacted, and fled. There are many tall horses like this soldier. There is only one place, and there are a hundred cavalry guards beside the Xianggong.
Pumping is also equal to white drawing.
More than a dozen people hid behind the door of the outpost and watched outward, and the soldiers on the ship led their horses down from the ship one after another. Exactly a hundred people. More than a dozen soldiers looked at each other, why did they smoke us, could it be that the prime minister heard some things we did in secret, and became dissatisfied. Thinking of this, all the sweat drops, and looked out again. The soldiers scattered and began to smoke the others on the dock. The reason is simple. is in the stalemate stage, there is no caravan here, why are you still staying here, either thieves or spies, none of them are good people. Who don't smoke these people? In just a moment, these people were drawn to the ground.
After evacuating these suspicious natives, the 100 horsemen began to set up camp and unloaded some forage and supplies from the boats. Only a hundred. No one else disembarked from the ships, but these ships were different from the rest of the fleet, although they came down. The ships did not leave.
One of the soldiers asked, "What are they going to do?" ”
"You ask." The other soldier stroked the blood that had been drawn from his face, and replied angrily.
Who dares to ask?
But all of them feel strange, these Fan Cavalry are Zheng Lang's personal guards, and now that these Fan Cavalry are here, where is the prime minister?
Fortunately, after setting up camp, these cavalry did not trouble them again, but these soldiers stayed in the outpost and were all close to each other. At night, a dark shadow came out of the mountain road and sneaked into the camp......
In the evening of the next day. Two messages were taken somewhere, one after the other.
For the former, everyone is not very worried, but it is useless to scold these barbarians one by one, but the other party invited more guards and was more prepared, so they couldn't bite it. OK. These people are trapped in the core area of the godly barbarism, and there is no way to escape. …,
The latter, however, made their faces solemn. A hundred horsemen are not terrible, this is following the path of piety, the role of cavalry is very small, but there is still a figure standing behind a hundred horsemen. This character is not terrible, this is in the barbarian area, and the imperial court has been scooping these barbarians without a way. But what is terrible is that this person has power in his hands, he can mobilize the two Guangzhou, and even through friendship, let all the troops of Fujian Road, Jiangnan West Road, and Jinghu South Road cooperate with him. Unless he wants to rebel, he can mobilize these five armies in the south!
"What are these sons doing here?" A man asked in a hoarse voice.
"Who knows!" The other asked angrily.
The most bizarre thing is that from Guangzhou to Xunqiandao, you must change boats in Xunzhou, but they arranged in Xunzhou's eyeline, and no one saw where these horsemen changed boats.
An old man sitting at the head asked, "Did anyone in the group in the forest escape?" ”
"What's the matter?" Another asked.
"How can it not matter, this caravan is from Hangzhou, I am worried about ......"
"No, absolutely no one escaped from the forest, but the guards hired by this caravan this time were very fierce, and they set up camp again, so they could not storm them, so they could only besiege them and wait for them to eat before coming to intercept and kill."
"I can't wait, the wisdom of that prime minister cannot be underestimated," the old man said again.
Everyone was silent for a while, and it would take at least a few days for this caravan to finish eating, and behind the caravan camp was a small stream, although it was called a small stream, it was a small river in the north, and the water flow was abundant, and it was March when the water was flooding, it was impossible to cut off the stream from upstream. The longer it drags on, the more bad things happen.
"What now? One option, abandon this caravan. The second choice is to forcibly scoop down this caravan in advance to deter others. ”
Everyone was silent for a while, abandoning this caravan, the loss was heavy, not only to send a large number of gifts in advance, but also to give some compensation afterwards, otherwise those barbarians would not be able to mobilize in the future. It means that the money is spent in vain. In the event of a strong attack, reinforcements must be necessary, and the losses are equally heavy. As for whether it will anger the prime minister, not many people are worried. Without this incident, the last killing had already angered the prime minister. But it has nothing to do with them, it was made by barbarians, so what can the court do if they scoop them?
"Damn, where is this caravan coming from?" One man scolded.
"Without the slightest certainty, they dare to enter the godly path?" The old man said lightly: "It doesn't matter what the way it comes from, how do we choose now?" It can't be delayed any longer, and the longer it drags on, the more it will change. ”
"Wang Daguan, what do you think?" The other asked the old man.
"I mean ......" The old man raised his hand, fell down fiercely, and said, "There is not even a single news from Guangzhou." If this caravan is allowed to pass through and everyone can see more extravagant hopes, there will be chaos in Guangzhou. When the time comes, no matter what we do, it will be too late. There are even those who can get away with it in exchange for the prime minister's leniency, and they will betray us. ”
After a pause, he knocked on the table with his hand, thought for a long time and said, "Let's raise some manpower and let Huang Xiaowu go." ”
"Huang Xiaowu?"
"The caravan hired about some men from the army, so it set up a solid camp and commanded it well. The barbarians are savage. But it won't be a tough battle. We can only let Huang Xiaowu go, anyway, we don't plan to let this businessman escape alive this time. ”
"More people."
"Well, then get some more men, and be sure to scoop them all down by tomorrow evening. If it succeeds, even if the prime minister comes, there is nothing he can do. Unless he can mobilize tens of thousands of troops and attack the barbarians. But the imperial court had just gone through the Nong Zhigao Rebellion. It's impossible to agree. The Song Dynasty was the world of the Zhao family, not the world of his Zheng family. ”…,
The last sentence gave everyone courage and confidence.
And what about the Prime Minister? Over the years. Killing officials and soldiers, robbing the people, and taking women captive, have we done less? How many officials did the imperial court send, and how did they scoop them? In the end, it wasn't that Cai Ting who proposed and did some measures to appease submission.
The old man said, "Although some people will die on this trip, through the overturned carts, we can see that the caravan has brought a lot of expensive spices and silks. But also, just hiring more than 200 guards can cost a lot of money. If it's just salt, it's hard to make a profit. ”
"It's done," shouted excitedly.
The old man made a gesture to silence everyone, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, notify Huang Xiaowu." Let him be in charge of attacking the fortification, but after breaking through the camp, he slowly led his men to the periphery, and if he was desperate, let those barbarians go desperately. He took people in charge of the periphery, and he couldn't let those people escape. Otherwise, if there are many deaths, the government will be suspicious. Let's scoop up some more money, some people died last time, and comfort their families. ”
……
A pillar of agarwood rises in the tent.
Guangzhou does not produce spices, but other places in the south have many spices, and from Nanyang, Tianzhu, Dashi and other places through the sea ships to bring a large number of spices, therefore, Guangzhou has repeatedly paid tribute to the imperial court sandalwood, nutmeg, clove mother and child, tonka, foreign fennel, agarwood, nail incense, Zhan sugar incense and other spices, in addition to tribute, most spices through various channels, including smuggling channels, sold all over the country.
In order to confuse the enemy, Zheng Lang asked Guangzhou to prepare a batch, but in fact there were not many, almost all of them made a few of Qin Shige's cronies pretend to be panicked, overturned the car on the side of the road, and threw it on the road. But there was also a cart that was grabbed by the barbarian representatives, and it was not overturned, and it was impossible for them to overturn it, and the cart they pushed in front was unstable, and there were soldiers coming behind to stabilize the cart. Secretively, these barbarian representatives are unable to detect the difference in between.
So Zheng Lang opened the box and took a pillar of agarwood and lit it.
He also burned incense at home, in the capital, and even more in the south. But not for luxury, but to avoid epidemics. Like lavender or smoking, it can dispel miasma and moisture in the air. Zheng Lang didn't know exactly what the principle was, but he knew one thing, later in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the soldiers avoided the miasma in the south and smoked more cigarettes, which did work, and the malaria infection rate in the army dropped significantly.
Most sergeants do not have this condition.
Zheng Lang also took some precautions
Measures, repeatedly instructed to set up camps, try to build some simple stilted buildings, no matter how clean the water source, it must be boiled well, raw water must not be edible, melons and fruits must be cleaned, barefoot must not walk, sleep must be used mosquito nets, the camp sprinkled with more lime, moderately bathed in salt water, clothes boiled in salt water and then washed. It worked, and in history, Di Qing encountered a "miasma" in Yongzhou and died many soldiers. He also died this time, far less than the number of soldiers who died in history.
The Song Dynasty scholars like to burn incense, resulting in a large amount of spices, the famous brand incense is extremely expensive, one or two ambergris incense is worth 100 yuan, the second is worth 50 or 60 yuan, but it is not the most expensive, the most expensive is the white tuk mattress, one or two white tuk mattresses are worth 200,000 yuan, that is, 200 yuan, you can buy the best land 25 acres to 100 acres. Often one or two incense sticks are so expensive that a piece of clothing will be used up by the scholar. Therefore, precious spices from all over the world, such as Dashi's, ambergris, benzoin, rose water, Chenla, Champong, Srivijaya white tuft, musk, Jinyan, agarwood. The dragon brain, true incense, and sandalwood poured into the Song Dynasty. Not only scholars, but also some women like to incense, burn incense, and even hold spices in their mouths and stuff them into a certain place. Make both mouths fragrant, so as to please the lover. The most excessive is Zhao Ji, under the temptation of Cai Jing, more and more extravagant, every night with ambergris and wax as candles, two rows of hundreds of huge incense candles lit, not only bright light. The aroma is overflowing. Completely forgot the simple spirit of several of his predecessors. But you can't blame Zhao Ji, the following sergeants are messed up, one is more extravagant than the other, without Cai Jing, the extravagant atmosphere below will sooner or later affect the court. …,
To Tian Yu and Zhou Xin's surprise, Zheng Lang was holding a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" and reciting.
Seeing the strange expressions of the two, Zheng Lang put down the Buddhist scriptures and said, "Don't stare at me with such eyes, I'm definitely not a Buddhist." Just to meditate. ”
Speaking of which, he sighed lowly.
I didn't understand before, why like Yu Jing and Wen Yanbo. The Confucian disciples of Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo in the back believe in Buddhism one by one.
After entering the center, I gradually understood.
If you want to be a mediocre official, it is a very easy task, but to be a good official, under the various shortcomings of the Song Dynasty, there is a lot of pressure. Sometimes reading a Buddhist scripture or listening to a chant can calm the mind.
Leave the center and come to Liangguang. More stress.
After Liangguang, if you go to Jinghu South Road and Kuixia 4th Road, the pressure may be greater than that of Liangguang.
This is something that no one else would have thought of.
Tian Yu and Zhou Xin were stunned for a moment, and as they met, Tian Yu asked, "Will they come tomorrow?" ”
Today is the fifth day.
Zheng Lang smiled and said, "Zizhong." You're so stupid, I said ten days, twenty days can't work? Twenty-one days can't work? The weather is fine, this trip is relatively smooth, if it is a rainy day, it has to be delayed. Why be persistent. But don't worry, we're not in a hurry, it's some people who are in a hurry. ”
Tian Yu was stunned at first, and then he was happy, he seemed to be stupid, and it was not an oath agreement, why be persistent?
Zheng Lang said this is also not right, the other party was forced by Zheng Su and others to arrive, did not dare to delay, and he could not delay, and there were many barbarian chiefs who stayed in Xunzhou and sent people to "protect" them, but after a long time, sooner or later people will find out, and they will be suspected by the other party. Now I am betting on whether the other party has a talented character and whether he can calm down, although this possibility is extremely small. But it doesn't matter, if the other party doesn't do it tomorrow, there are other arrangements, and further pressure will be exerted on the dock through Zheng Su. In that case, it will drag on for a long time.
Zheng Lang said again: "It's just right, I wrote a note, you can take a look and see what you think." ”
As he spoke, he threw the fold over.
The two opened it and saw that it was very simple to write on the fold, it was Zheng Lang who asked the imperial court to send Wang Ding to Jiangnan West Road to serve as a prison envoy.
Tian Yu said: "Jiangdong Three Tigers. ”
The Three Tigers of Jiangdong, all the officials, magnates and even eunuchs all changed their complexions.
After Wang Ding was demoted to Shenzhou, he made contributions, because of his "dead nature", he let some people go to Jianzhou to serve as governors. After arriving in Jianzhou, Fujian Road was crowded, and many people could not afford to raise their children after giving birth, so they strangled the babies to death and drowned. Wang Ding formulated regulations to educate the people and forbid them to do so. He was also not afraid of the powerful and powerful to crack down on the smuggling and trafficking of tea and salt. These people approached the supervisor to intercede, and the supervisor said good things to them, but Wang Ding ignored them.
In practice, this is a bit of a misunderstanding.
In the 5,000 years of China, it was only after the implementation of family planning that his own son was truly eliminated from being killed. Without him, it is indeed impossible to support many children. In this way, due to the ineffective implementation of the family planning policy, some backward areas have not strangled their own children, and there are still cases of abandoned babies, especially daughters.
In the Song Dynasty, there was no effective contraceptive measure, and the husband and wife always had to hey, and they would get pregnant when they did. Although it is humanitarian, it is somewhat out of reality.
Illegal salt and private tea is a problem of the system, and Zheng Lang also cracked down, but the crackdown was supplemented and solved.
However, because of this, it was appreciated by the imperial court, yes, the imperial court made money, and it was about to open up, and moved to Hebei Prison to raise some envoys. There is private salt in Jianzhou, and the phenomenon of private salt in Hebei is more serious, but it is not domestic salt, but Khitan salt. Let's see if Wang Ding has any way to alleviate it. However, when Wang Ding arrived in Hebei, he changed direction and once again cracked down on corrupt officials and magnates. Zhao Zhen also had a headache, saying that Wang Ding was not a good official. Loyal to the imperial court, diligent and loving the people, but if he tosses it, the entire Hebei officialdom is shaking. So last year, he was transferred to Kaifeng Mansion to serve as a judge in Kaifeng. …,
After this toss, he became famous, and among the three tigers in Jiangdong, none of them were as famous as him. It's not that it can't be used, but Zheng Lang's character, overall, Zheng Lang's personality is mild, and his attitude towards the Jiangdong Three Tigers is not very cold, everyone has been talking about the Jiangdong Three Tigers over the years, and Zheng Lang has never spoken, why did Wang Ding transfer to Jiangnan West Road. And is it still a prison envoy?
"The salt politics of the eight states are hard to return, and the chaos must be controlled with heavy ears!" Zheng Lang replied.
Saying that Bao Zheng is Bao Qingtian is a little excessive. Bao Zheng is also good. But it is too far from the legendary Bao Qingtian later, and when analyzed carefully, although Geng Zhi is also a little scheming, it is Zhao Zhen who is encouraging, otherwise he would not have the feat of serving as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion. And the three tigers of Jiangdong are very similar to the legendary Bao Qingtian, don't think it's a good thing, in a word, the water is clear and there are no fish, although these five words can't be analyzed seriously, but I want to do things. The meaning of these five words must be understood.
The three of them have overdone it, and if they are not used properly, it will cause no less chaos than a corrupt official. Although this is a very bitter truth.
sighed again: "Think about Kong Zongdan." ”
The three tigers in Jiangdong and the four tigers in Shandong are all about the same. Kong Zongdan's sacrifice was so heroic that Tian Erren even heard the news of Kong Zongdan's misfortune. Zheng Lang cried in the book. Then I thought about the audacity of these salt dealers, and finally fell silent.
The night passed peacefully.
When they got up the next day, the barbarian representatives were in high spirits.
thought that Zheng Lang had reinforcements, and the longer it dragged on, the better. It's just that there are no reinforcements, a dignified prime minister is here, can the officials of the two roads ignore it?
Zheng Lang glanced at them coldly, did not speak, looked outside, and the barbarians outside shouted in the woods again, but the number of them increased. Zheng Lang said: "Let's get ready to cook." ”
didn't pay attention to these people, and it wasn't the person Zheng Lang really wanted to deal with, he was waiting.
The people who were waiting arrived at noon.
There were some more people in the woods, far away, and they couldn't see clearly. But after a while, led by a middle-aged man, these barbarians came out of the woods, and unlike the day before yesterday, these barbarians were cutting down trees.
"Someone's coming?" Although Zheng Lang didn't elaborate, Tian Yu also reacted.
Zheng Lang nodded.
After a while, the barbarians dragged the chopped wood out of the forest, and unlike yesterday, there were men behind them armed with bows and arrows, knives and guns to protect the people and dogs in the camp from jumping over the wall. The bow is no longer the bamboo bow of the aborigines, but the black lacquer bow and yellow birch bow of the Song Dynasty, half of which are not folk earthen bows, but military bows and arrows, and even more than a dozen iron arm hook crossbows and black lacquer crossbows, which are controlled weapons.
Zhou Xin angrily reprimanded: "The army is so corrupt! ”
"Ji Zhen, no, it's because the government is so erosive." Zheng Lang said.
It is not right to say that the Liangguang army is erosive, there are very few forbidden soldiers in the two Guangzhou, and only three battalions of cavalry and five battalions of infantry are distributed in Guangzhou, Guizhou, Yongzhou and Rongzhou. Either it is the box army, the number of box soldiers is large, nearly 100 battalions, but the imperial court management is loose, nearly 100 battalions are not satisfied, only more than 20,000 box soldiers, after several cuts, it has become more than 70 battalions, the establishment is still dissatisfied, less than 15,000 people, the actual number will be less, at least thousands of places have been eaten up by empty salaries. These soldiers were not prepared for battle, such as the infantry station, the shipyard, the driving gang water army, the city surface, the corner field, and the tin transport. It's hard labor, and you can't expect them to have any fighting power at all. After Nong Zhigao's invasion, Liangguang organized some soldiers, but recruited civilians or forcibly recruited civilian heroes as soldiers, or township soldiers, and the entire Song Dynasty was extremely chaotic, not to mention Liangguang. Therefore, at the beginning of Nong Zhigao's invasion, he was invincible. What I encountered was not a regular Song Dynasty army at all!
Either there are three battalions of forbidden troops in Qianzhou, and it is possible to erode, only three battalions, where can it be eroded? There are also van soldiers, who are also subject to labor and cannot be regarded as regular troops. Therefore, the government of the two Guangxi officials is not from the army, but from the officials. …,
Zheng Lang said again: "It's not terrible, it's terrible that these people want to kill us all, so they cut down timber and build a fence around us. ”
The faces of the two darkened, and they suddenly thought that Zheng Lang asked the imperial court to send Wang Ding over.
Erosive to such an extent, bold to such an extent, you can't solve the problem without a cool official.
Under the leadership of this big man, the barbarians began to build a fence a hundred paces away from the camp to prevent Zheng Lang and his party from escaping. Tian Yu and Zhou Xin only came to Lingnan and couldn't see it, but Zheng Lang saw it very clearly. At this time, it is close, and the appearance of each person can all fall into the eyes, and there are still some subtle differences in the appearance of the barbarians and the Han people, among the busy barbarians. There is a clear mix of Han Chinese.
These people are exactly the people Zheng Lang is waiting for!
With them, all the rotten meat in Bazhou can be dug up.
But the men a hundred paces away did not know it, and continued to work nervously, until at the end of the afternoon a long fence was erected.
The opponent began to attack. Some of them carried the cut wood, and sharpened the wood for striking the wood. It's backward hitters. But the simple low wall of the camp is enough to deal with. He was followed by a number of barbarians, armed with bows and arrows, spears, or weapons, approaching the wall.
Zheng Lang shouted: "Prepare for defense." ”
He said again: "Liu Yimo, get ready." ”
"Oh," Liu Yimo led the order to go down, led people to scoop out two wooden boards, and pulled out two cowhides. A catapult device was made with the help of a fence wall, and then a wooden box was opened, from which two large powder packets were taken out. Set them on fire, throw them out.
However, the projectile was fired early, and although the huge explosion frightened all the barbarians to the ground, it did not kill or injure many barbarians.
Huang Xiaowu was also taken aback and scolded: "Grandma, what is the origin of this group of people? ”
I even got gunpowder.
But fortunately, they are obviously rookies, and they can't even control the range, so they don't pose a threat. So the order was given: "Disperse, disperse, disperse." See that thing, and dodge it. ”
After drinking for a long time, the barbarian came back to his senses and approached the wall again.
What made Huang Xiaowang happy was that after the two gunpowder packs exploded, the other party never used the gunpowder packs again. Understandably, this thing is more tightly controlled. The other party may have some ways to come, but they can't get many of them.
But the change of face began.
When I got here, it was seventy or eighty miles away from the wharf. The actual distance is not far, and it takes seven and eight windings to extend the distance to seventy or eighty miles, and the straight line is only a dozen miles. The two extra-large gunpowder packs did not kill a few barbarians, but the sound was loud enough, coupled with the echo of the mountains and forests, to spread far away.
Hearing the explosion, Zheng Su and Zheng Huang got up from the ground and shouted, "Get on the horse, get on the horse, go." ”
Not even the baggage of the camp was gone, and a hundred people mounted their horses and rushed towards the mountain road.
There was a fierce battle in the forest.
All the barbarians in the woods saw that the situation was in their favor, and they all came out of the woods, and many people, Zheng Lang made a visual inspection, and there might be about fifteen hundred people. The huge number of people made the barbarian representatives in the camp afraid, but Zheng Lang was not nervous, and calmly said to Tian Yu and Zhou Xin: "The other party seems to have lost his old roots. ”
The two nodded, although several states were eroded, and there were barbaric people joining, it was indeed an old book to be able to gather so many people.
As soon as the words fell, the barbarians were only a dozen steps away from the low wall, and some of the barbarians were carrying the bumper wood and preparing to sprint and crash into the low wall. Zheng Lang waved the small flag in his hand, and the bowstrings of more than 200 bows and arrows were all released, and some barbarians fell in response.
Huang Xiaowu stood behind and shouted: "You can't mess around, use rattan cards." ”
Under his organization, the barbarians began to raise rattan cards as cover, and the Song army was still releasing arrows, but the troops were small and could not be taken into account, and then used rattan cards to cover, and finally a barbarian rushed to the low wall, hitting the wood and rushing to the wall. Several low walls were knocked down one after another, causing the barbarians to cheer from time to time. Maybe this is another trick for them, or maybe victory is in sight? …,
Some barbarians rushed to the camp from the collapse.
Liu Yimo and Jiang Qiuse had to give orders again and again, separate the soldiers to scoop out their weapons, and hand over the troops in a short manner.
War Spirit!
From time to time, there were screams, and from time to time someone fell, and a pool of blood was sprinkled on the ground. Tian Yu and Zhou Xin's bodies trembled, they had never seen such a bloody scene. Then looked at Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang's face was very calm, which made the two of them ashamed.
In fact, Zheng Lang saw the bloody scene for the first time, and he didn't feel very good in his heart, but after the tempering of the Northwest War, he got used to it.
The sacrifices were increasing, and although the barbarians died at a higher rate, the situation was very unfavorable for the Song army.
Huang Xiaowu also felt a headache, he never thought that this group of people was so fierce, drinking orders from time to time, cheering up, Zheng Lang only learned afterwards that this person was a commander of the Xiang army, and he also brought two military leaders, and he couldn't say how high his military cultivation was, and he had some military command experience. Most of the Song Dynasty's box army was ornamental, but the imperial court still often taught the box army, at least much better than the barbarians militarily.
The fierce battle continues.
Zheng Lang was always indifferent, and even a short spear was almost thrown on him, which startled everyone, Zheng Lang was still expressionless, several generals were in a hurry, Cao Beiwei forcibly pulled Zheng Lang to the back, master, don't stay in front, something happened to you, we can't afford it.
But Zheng Lang was pinching the hour.
About 70 miles, if it is in the plains, it will not take an hour, it is enough to rush. Or the southern horse, accustomed to driving on mountain roads, an hour is enough to arrive. However, the northwest horse, once it sprints, is more powerful, but it cannot be fast on these mountain roads. There was not an hour before I could get there. But the time was just right, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and spring was in the depths, and the weather in the south was long, and it was at least three hours before sunset, which was enough to end the battle.
Stand in the back and watch the battle scene quietly.
Time passed minute by minute, and under the counterattack of the Song army, each time the camp was crumbling, but they all held on.
At this point, both sides were on fire. Coupled with the ferocity of the barbarians, these barbarians launched one onslaught after another.
Seeing that it was getting more and more critical, Zheng Lang said, "Let's start." ”
The second face-changing begins.
As the words ended, Qin Shige led people into the tent.
Suddenly, there were some shouts from the tent: "Damn, suffocate us to death." ”
Some of the barbarian representatives burrowed into the tent curiously, but their eyes widened. The mysterious boxes of all sizes were opened one by one. The small and medium-sized chests contained armor, bows, crossbows, and other weapons, which was not unusual, and the most unusual thing was that soldiers came out of the large chests. In order to keep it secret, he held it in the box for several days, eating only dry food, and only secretly released it at night to breathe. During the day, urine can only be small in the box, which makes the inside riotous. As for the stool, hold it back, and you have to endure it until the evening and solve it with the help of ventilation.
The hard days came to an end, and one by one they jumped up with excitement, and then began to put on armor.
When the face change is over, the battle really begins. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation?/di
