Clear water waves, lapping on the light boat, a light armored force of 500 people is wading on the north bank of Xiaoliao River one after another.

"It's nice here!"

As soon as he stepped ashore, Guan Ping took a breath of fresh air.

Yesterday's torrential rain took away the bloodshed of the killing field, and nature always has such a purifying ability.

After putting down the hakama's legs and feet, Guan Ping took out a pair of straw sandals from behind the rucksack and neatly changed them to his own feet.

Straw sandals are a must-have for any official.

For a man who needs to serve in the military, the most important thing his family has prepared for him is straw sandals. And straw sandals are still consumables, and a soldier should bring three or five pairs when he goes out.

Originally, according to Guan Ping's rank, he couldn't talk about fast boots, even cowhide boots could be worn. But like his father, Guan Ping still likes to wear these straw sandals that are a little sticky.

After putting on the straw sandals, Guan Ping stomped his feet, held the iron armor hanging on the backpack, and shouted:

"Armor!"

After saying this, about fifty people around Guan Ping began to put on iron armor on each other, and if you raise your vision and look at this long Xiaoliao River, you can find that there are countless military brigades like Guan Ping on this tidal flat.

Where is this so-called squad, it is clearly a large army race.

Guan Ping's side was the first to march on foot, and when they were ready to march to the east, behind them, countless war horses were slowly moving on the pontoon bridge under the control of their masters.

Last night, when the Liaodong Army on the opposite side fell into a deep sleep, this pontoon bridge was erected overnight in the lower reaches of the Xiaoliao River.

Thousands of troops crossed Xiaoliaoshui, and in such a scene, the Liaodong military detectives on the opposite side were dispatched for the team, and they didn't know how to explore.

Guan Ping didn't know the above arrangement, and at this moment he took a sip of ginger water, which was left last night, specially for the officials of the rain war to ward off the cold.

This will be more, so continue to wade through the water to Guan Ping and these people to ward off the cold.

Choked on ginger water, Guan Ping was speechless, but he still walked while coughing. And coughs like him, I don't know how many in this queue, converge into thunder.

The army traveled eastward, and Guan Ping's team was shouldering the task of warning and driving away the enemy because the location of crossing the river was in the east.

But along the way, Guan Ping only saw an endless plain, and the others didn't even see a single figure.

Just when Guan Ping and the others walked to a dense forest and were about to rest first, they realized that something was wrong.

On the opposite side of the dense forest, a black mass suddenly appeared.

Guan Ping hurriedly greeted:

"Archers hidden! The sword stepped forward. ”

Of the fifty people in Guan Ping's hands, about ten were longbow crossbowmen.

At this time, after receiving Guan Ping's order, these ten people decisively hid in the jungle, and their hands were also on the quiver, ready to shoot at any time.

In this way, Guan Ping and the others lurked behind the dense forest, and behind them were other tribes who continued to arrive.

Soon, the black mass in the wilderness in the distance was getting closer and clearer.

Guan Ping has always been eagle-eyed, and this will see that this black group is a group of Hu people wandering on the plains.

He didn't know which tribe these people belonged to, which was too difficult for a man from the inner county.

But look at these people in ragged clothes, wearing dark leather clothes, holding either firewood or hay in their hands, and some even carry fishing nets all the way.

From these, it can be seen that these people are more like vagrants, and even if they are from the Liaodong Army, they are not very powerful.

Just when Guan Ping was about to come out, he suddenly saw a group of armored soldiers behind this group of tribal miscellaneous soldiers.

This team of armored soldiers is completely different from the tribal miscellaneous soldiers in front, although there is no formation, but when they walk, they are like tigers and leopards wandering in the mountains, and there is a sense of contradiction between caution and relaxation.

Guan Ping saw that these people were elite soldiers. Because the veterans in his army who are in Mount Tai are like this.

Seeing this sharp soldier, Guan Ping gestured to the crossbowmen on the side.

The crossbowman's general was also an old pawn, so he hurriedly beckoned the scattered crossbowmen to quietly come together, so that the arrows would hit more densely.

At the same time, Guan Ping also made two gestures to the deputy team and the chief general.

The deputy team who got the order got up directly from the forest with two shi's swords, and the other chief general also quietly hid from the side of the dense forest with two shi's foot armor, preparing to go around to the opposite flank.

After doing this, Guan Ping took his direct subordinate soldiers, carried a battle flag, fell behind the sword in front of him, and went out of the forest together.

When the two swords lined up in a sharp formation and rushed out of the dense forest, the Zahu tribesmen on the opposite side were still in a daze, obviously not realizing what was happening.

But the Hu Renjia soldiers behind saw it and hurriedly shouted, probably giving some order.

But as a result, some of the Zahu tribesmen rushed over with wooden sticks shouting, but more of them scattered in panic.

Guan Ping's sharp arrow array sword soldiers just struck at random, and they crushed those arrogant miscellaneous beards. Then he charged straight towards the elite Hu soldiers behind.

Unlike Guan Ping thought, he used to think that all the Hu people were riding horses, but when he arrived here, he realized that these miscellaneous Hu people from Changbai Mountain were more willing to fight on foot.

So when they saw a small group of Taishan troops rushing over, these people all jumped over with heavy soldiers such as iron bones in leather armor.

But just as these people were about to jump into the formation of the Taishan army, suddenly a dense and urgent rain of arrows hit these people, directly stabbing them to the ground.

Regardless of the wails of these people, the Taishan saber soldiers in the front row still maintained a dense line, continued to rush, and finally collided with the remaining Hu people.

It was a very small encounter, but the two sides were at loggerheads from the start.

Of course, more of them fell Hu Bing, but they were not strong in combat. These fishing and hunting warriors from Changbai Mountain are the only thing they are good at in this life is hunting, so they have rich experience in fighting.

But alas, in such a conflict, the superiority of equipment is much higher than these.

When these people's swords cut into the armor of the soldiers, they either broke or broke directly. And the leather armor on these Hu people was like paper paste, wailing among the sharp soldiers of the sword soldiers.

And when another sword soldier who came around from the side appeared in the rear of Hu Bing and launched an attack, the battle was almost over.

This elite Hu soldier squad of forty or fifty people could not survive under Guan Ping's means, and the whole army was wiped out in half an hour.

But Guan Ping's team was not without casualties, and in the end, six people were injured and two died.

After knowing this result, Guan Ping also began to pay attention to these Hu people, and had a deeper understanding of these people's combat skills.

These people are good soldiers, and they will recruit some into the team in the future, and they are the most suitable candidates for heavy steps.

When Guan Ping annihilated this team of cautious people, he began to rest in this dense forest.

In this process, more and more troops in the rear went into the dense forest to rest, eat dry food and drink sugar water, and replenish their physical strength.

From the time they crossed the river to the present, they have walked five miles, and they are all wearing iron armor and shackles, and if they do not rest, they will have to suffer greatly in the battle.

And at this time, the Taishan army, which already knew that its whereabouts were exposed, also began to make a loud noise, and began to warn all departments to rest and that a big war was coming.

But it wasn't until Guan Ping and they rested in this dense forest for half an hour that the expected more enemies did not appear from the north.

Guan Ping couldn't understand this, and at this time, the soldiers in the ministry had already come over and told him that the general was calling a meeting of the teams.

When Guan Ping carried a bag into the temporary tent of the general.

In this small meadow, there are already seven or eight robes waiting here. Two of them will be standing at the front, talking to the others.

As soon as he saw Guan Ping come in, his direct boss, Qu General Pan Le, directly smiled and boasted:

"Xiaoguan has played well, he has made a face for us, and our ministry will go to the king's side for a meeting, and he will definitely raise his spirit."

At this time, another general, Chen Xing, was also happy, and even seemed a little flattering:

"Indeed, Xiao Guan is really extraordinary."

Guan Ping listened to the words of these two people, and hurriedly respected and humbly:

"No, it's all the brothers' lives, and before Ping even drew his knife, the battle was over."

Chen Xing hurriedly made up for it, he looked around at the team generals behind him, and said:

"Look at it, Xiaoguan not only has excellent martial arts, but even has the style of a general, it seems that the future of my Taishan Army depends on these young people in Xiaoguan."

You can't blame Chen Xing for being like this, in fact, he and Pan Le are not stupid, they have been with Guan Ping for so long, how can they not guess one or two?

Will this Guan Ping be an ordinary team player? Will the ordinary team be able to go to the king's tent? Ordinary team generals, the king will ask him how to govern Liao?

When the king went to the feast that day, after hearing that Guan Ping, the kid, was called to participate, these people understood.

What do you know? What is Xiao Guan's surname? Which bigwig in the army has the surname Guan?

So it goes without saying.

Although I haven't heard when Guan Dashuai will have a son, maybe he is a nephew?

In short, Xiaoguan is unspeakably expensive!

Guan Ping, who revealed innocence in his eyes, continued to explain, and at this time, a big man with a black face and a beard had already entered through the entrance of the curtain.

As soon as this person comes in, Pan Le's two songs will directly lead everyone to salute respectfully:

"I've seen the generals!"

This bearded army general was full of indifference, and sat directly on the horse with a golden knife through everyone, and the hood in his hand was also thrown to the ground by him.

He first looked around, and when he saw Guan Ping, he laughed:

"Xiaoguan, you played well, I really have a long face in the king's tent today. When did our old Zhang be so tough! It's comfortable! You are my lucky general, fight hard, and I will personally invite you for your military exploits. ”

Guan Ping's waist was slightly owed, and then he continued to keep a low profile, even more modest than before.

Because Guan Ping knew who the rough general in front of him was, and he had heard the story of his own general from his father.

He and the king are from the same place, originally called Zhang Heizi, and it is said that the king and the high priest who sacrificed his grandson became acquainted because of this person's affairs.

But this person has been in Mount Tai before, and later he joined the five-part army sequence in the Battle of Zhongren Pavilion. The old age of his qualifications and the origin of the king are not known to ordinary people.

Zhang Heizi has changed his name to Zhang Hao.

At this time, Zhang Hao glanced at everyone, and then said the military order he had just received in the king's tent.

The crowd raised their eyebrows and listened.
