Chapter 33: Arriving at Lingshanwei
Pang Gang rode a horse on a desolate path, the road was cold and windy, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the cold wind whistled from time to time, making the surrounding wilderness even more depressed.
Lingshan Guard and Wanghai Fort were only more than 20 miles away, and Pang Gang and one hundred and twenty soldiers could have arrived at Lingshan Wei in less than two hours, but because the burden of the young man carrying the burden was relatively heavy, he was forced to slow down, and it took nearly three hours to reach his destination.
"This little money to buy some wine and wine to relieve the fatigue of the brothers, everyone who is freezing in the cold has worked hard." Pang Gang stuffed a piece of broken silver into the hand of the city official.
"Thank you for the reward, and thank you for the reward of the younger brothers." A black and thin little flag took the broken silver with a dazzling smile, and immediately welcomed Pang Gang and the others into the city gate.
After Pang Gang reported his identity and stuffed a piece of broken silver weighing three coins into the Lingshan Guardhouse, the small flag guarding the door did not even check the waist card, and immediately opened the city gate and let people in, which couldn't help but make Pang Gang's brows furrow secretly.
In the hall of Lingshanwei's Thousand Households, several pots of charcoal fires that burned red kept the cold outside. Bin Shiqian, Qi Wuming, and other seven or eight hundred households were accompanying a military attache who was sitting in the hall talking.
Bin Shiqian smiled at the military attache sitting at the top: "Lord Hao, you have really worked hard to come from afar this time, although we have not been able to set up a banquet for the adults due to the urgency of the military situation, but the humble position guarantees that the lowly rank will definitely make up this table of banquets when the triumphant is called." β
The military attache who sat at the top was about forty years old, wearing a cyan five-rank flying bear suit, with thick hands and feet, and a copper-colored face with a short beard, and a frosty face, which looked more like an old peasant. This person's name is Hao Dayong, and he is a deputy Qianhu sent by Song Xinghe, the commander of the Qingzhou Metropolitan Command, to supervise the suppression of bandits, and he is also the highest commander of this operation.
Hao Dayong waved his hand, and said in a rough voice that didn't care: "The banquet is exempt, the most important thing for us as courtiers is to be loyal to the emperor and share worries for the officials, as long as we can suppress this gang of thieves, it is better than eating ten banquets, do you think this is the reason?" β
"That's that, what Lord Hao said is extremely true!" Bin Shiqian and the others nodded again and again.
Hao Dayong's voice paused slightly, and asked, "Are all the people's baggage ready?" β
Qi Wuming, who was sitting at the bottom of the right hand, hurriedly reported: "My lord, the inferior people have prepared all the men and horses as early as yesterday, and now they have prepared a total of 480 troops and three grains, and they can set off immediately after the arrival of the people and horses of the Wanghai Fort Pang Baihu." β
After hearing this, Hao Dayong asked with some curiosity: "Pang Gang?" Is it the one who was valued and promoted by both the commander and the prefect? β
"Lord Hui, it's that Pang Gang." Qi Wuming bowed down and replied.
"Oh, then the official would like to meet this Pang Baihu." Hao Da touched the short beard of his chin with his big hand, very curious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Wanghai Fort Pang Baihu and his military horses have now arrived outside the mansion, and the villain has been specially ordered to come and report it." A cantonment soldier ran down the hall to report.
"Hehe, say Cao Ye Cao is here! , everyone, let's all go out to greet Pang Baihu who has come from afar. Deputy Qianhu Hao Dayong took the lead out of the hall after speaking.
Pang Gang, who was waiting outside the door, saw a group of military attachΓ©s coming out of it, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet Bin Shiqian, Qi Wuming and others, but found that the person walking in front of the hundreds of households was actually a five-grade military attache wearing a flying bear suit. Pang Gang's heart was stunned, he stopped his pace, and hurriedly bowed down and said loudly: "Pang Gang of the hundred households of Wanghai Fort is the commander of the order, and now he leads one hundred and twenty elite soldiers in the fort to listen to your dispatch!" β
Hao Da stepped forward to help Pang Gang with a laugh, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Hahaha, you are Pang Baihu of Wanghai Castle, your name and official have long been admired." Hao Dayong, deputy of Qingzhou, was ordered by the commander to supervise the suppression of bandits, but because of the suddenness of the incident, he only arrived this morning, and he didn't have time to tell you, Pang Baihu wouldn't mind! β
Pang Gang was relieved in his heart, how could there be no Shangguan in command of the bandits this time, Qingzhou Mansion sent people to this should be done, his heart turned quickly, but his mouth said unequivocally: "I don't dare to be lowly, the second is the honor of lowly people, and with Lord Hao personally in command, I will be able to annihilate the bandits in Dogya Mountain in one fell swoop." β
"Okay, Pang Baihu really knows the general situation, no wonder the commander is full of praise for you!"
Hao Dayong praised and glanced at the sergeant standing behind Pang Gang with casual eyes, but then his heart was suddenly stunned, and then a strange light shot out of his small eyes. Behind Pang Gang, there were four phalanx soldiers, all of them energetic and fierce, and the armor on their bodies was even more exaggerated, it turned out to be all chain mail, this kind of armor was only worn by officers of more than 100 households in Daming. Of course, it's not that the imperial court stipulates that ordinary soldiers can't wear chain mail, although the protection of chain mail is better than ordinary scale armor, but after all, the cost is high, and even the border soldiers guarding the border pass are not capable of equipping, how can this Pang Gang equip more than a hundred soldiers with such sophisticated armor in a short period of time?
And I still have some understanding of Wanghai Fort Hao Dayong, it is a tunbao that has been abandoned, it has been less than four months since Pang Gang volunteered to lead people to rebuild the fort, where did he recruit so many tun troops?
Not only Hao Dayong, but even Bin Shiqian, Qi Wuming and others were also suppressed by the soldiers brought by Pang Gang, and they found that half of these soldiers were holding spears, and that's it, but how could there be so many people carrying bird guns? Aren't they afraid of hurting themselves?
Pang Gang didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes, he clearly knew a truth, high-profile things and low-key people, and it was very necessary to show his strength at the right time. He rushed from a small soldier to the position of a hundred households, I don't know how many red eyes he provoked, sometimes a proper display of his force can allow some people who are not long-sighted to weigh their own ideas.
Qi Wuming, a straightforward man with the surname of Qi, didn't think so much as others, and after Pang Gang and Hao Dayong greeted him, he strode up and patted Pang Gang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Pang, we haven't seen each other for several months." I didn't expect you to make such a big move, but it scared us brothers, this time it's okay, your brother is here, this time we can definitely wipe out all those bandits. β
Pang Gang also smiled: "Brother Qi is polite, where do you still need the little brother to take action here with Hao Qianhu and all the old brothers, and the little brother can only beat the drum and shout on the side to cheer." β
"Hahaha, brother, you're polite, you're just in time, we're studying how to capture Inuya Mountain, and you're here to give us an idea."
After Pang Gang and the officers saluted, Bin Shiqian ordered the men and horses brought by Pang Gang to the barracks to rest, and he, Qi Wumingda and the officers welcomed Pang Gang into the hall.
After entering the hall, Hao Dayong immediately ordered someone to pounce on a map on the table, which was the mountain terrain map of Qingzhou.
