"It's finally over temporarily,"

Zhou Huaian, who was lying on the straw mat of a flat cart, greatly stretched out a lazy waist under some kind of laziness after eating.

Immediately he looked at the human body imaging and energy mark with the right field of view. Finally, he did not need to be under high stress. Because of the frequent and over-used scanning ability, he always maintained the collapse warning and sub-health state in the high hunger. The energy storage bar also seems to have grown a bit.

After being unexpectedly attacked by the enemy, this preliminarily ambushed soldier was still unable to escape the collapse and collapse after causing some confusion and casualties.

Finally, I met other rebels who came to meet and support them, claiming to be the "Cangshan Army", the third nickname of the left wing. In terms of equipment and outfits, it is much more sophisticated than the Stormrage Camp before the expansion; not only has relatively neat and uniform robes, but also has an imperfect armor rate of nearly 30 to 40%, almost catching up to the local level. The officer army;

After they crossed the river, the people and horses gathered together with flags in front and back, fearing to be at least two to three thousand people; among them, there were at least several hundred of them with spears and knives, and the horses were still tied with colorful horses. Among the many shooter teams, there are also a group of standard crossbowmen who are obviously made by officials;

Zhou Huaian was very greedy for a while, after all, he had played the existence of crossbow hunting many times in Africa, and until this thing had almost represented the extreme development of long-range killing in the cold weapon era.

After converging with this friendly army in the usual sense, Zhou Huai'an, whose heart was frustrated, could be regarded as secretly sighing and repeating some introspection and reflection;

Sure enough, it was not so easy to survive in this ancient time, and he was obviously too big and too simple at first; if it weren’t for this outburst, he was still caught in some dangerous wishful thinking; because of him After all the risks and possibilities were counted, how could they ignore the existence of the local Tu people in Lingnan

It is important to know that even in later generations until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were still a large number of Tu and barbarians in Guangxi or Lingnan; and in the earlier Qin and Han dynasties, the vast area south of Wuling was once the indigenous people called Nanyue. Ethnic territory,

In this era, a large number of mountainous savages known as Laos are widely distributed in the inland areas outside the Lingnan coast; even according to some local newcomers, even if they are close to Guangzhou, there are corresponding villages. The scattered existence of settlements also includes the difference between the so-called "Mo Juman" {the ancestor of the Yao ethnic group} and the "Shanhaman" {the ancestor of the She ethnic group}.

Regarding this, both in the Tang Dynasty poetry saint Du Fu's "Sui Yan Xing", or the great poet Liu Yuxi's "Man Zi Ge", there are side descriptions and records. The Xishan Barbarian that Shixiang Town encountered before was a relatively sturdy tribe in the "Ximoji" branch of the Tu ethnic group known as "Mo Ge", which refused to obey Wang Hua.

If you really want to go on the road alone according to the previous impulse, I am afraid that even if you can get out of the control area of the rebels, it is afraid that it will not fall into the hands of these hidden earth group armed remnants in the countryside, or become a new sacrifice for these Turkish barbarians.

If you want to survive, especially to survive better, and even survive with dignity and quality, sure enough, you still have to rely on the scale and strength formed by the group; for the first time, he has the power in the rebels who have abandoned them like me. , There is such a trace of faint longing and desire.

Therefore, under this kind of demanding mentality, this team has the advantage of being a mantis hunting cicada oriole, and most of the army soldiers that attacked and captured from the rear were used by Zhou Huai'an as a source of gratitude and took the initiative. The gift-style was left to the rebels of this unit, and this resulted in a relatively friendly and cordial treatment.

For example, ready-made hot food and priority medical treatment, and then neatly supplemented afterwards, promised to send someone to escort the return trip on the road, and so on. So from this moment on, they finally entered a relatively safe environment, where they could recuperate and adjust.

It is said that the leader of this unit is a general surnamed Zhu, but there is no spare time to meet in person. They are a small team and a self-appointed deputy battalion manager; in the end they only sent a deputy named Yang Neng. The school lieutenant is responsible for arranging and disposing of the things related to them, and by the way check the specific ins and outs.

Therefore, after initially exchanging information with the other party and explaining the reasons, Zhou Huaian also asked about something with the opportunity to become familiar.

"Those thieves, what are they and their origins..."

Zhou Huaian pretended to be surprised.

"Why would we hit us..."

"Obviously, the places along the way before the Mingming are where the heart to the rebels..."

"It should be the native soldiers from Duanzhou {Zhaoqing} in the north branch of Xiaojiang..."

School Wei Yang Neng replied quite seriously.

"It is said that he also bought a few of the mountains and rivers in the nearby mountains to echo and Zhang Mu..."

"The ghosts in these grounds are familiar with the place, so they can secretly premeditate on the road to rob and kill our rebel soldiers and the lonely traveling..."

"At least many people have died before and after..."

"This time the headquarter is here, it is also a place to help..."

Afterwards, new changes took place. The news of returning from visiting horses from the front included a large number of cities and towns including Sihui County, which was stationed by the rebels. Large areas have been sunken, and Shixiang Town’s experience was nothing more than. It's just a mere corner of it.

Therefore, under the rush of the enemy, this man from Cantonese did not delay too much at the ferry crossing, and set off on the journey of attacking the enemy again. Just before leaving, the excess animal power in this small team was easily conquered;

Then, as a symbolic compensation, some miscellaneous ordnance was given back, and all of them were re-armed. Fortunately, they were able to protect themselves on the way back. Of course, the so-called plan to send someone to escort fell through. Up.

For Zhou Huai'an, the most valuable of these gifts is undoubtedly that he specifically asked to keep four crossbow arrows. Although it is the simplest wooden crossbow, the patent leather is polished and the bowstrings are a little soft, and there is no crossbow arrow. Stable tail feathers; but it also means long-range lethality and threat that are relatively easy to use

More importantly, he wants to use this as a sample to understand its structure and details, and try to imitate and improve the possibility.

Therefore, on the slow return journey, he began to dismantle these crossbows back and forth in the midst of the violent celestial objects and incomprehensible eyes of the crowd. (End of this chapter)
