Chapter 36 Friendship

"It's finally over,"

Zhou Huaian, who was lying on a straw mat of a large flat cart, stretched his waist wide under some lazy momentum after eating.

Then he looked at the human imaging and energy marks in his field of vision. Finally, he did not have to be under high tension. Because of the frequent overuse of scanning ability, he always maintained a collapse warning and sub-health state in high hunger. The thin energy storage bar seemed to have increased a little.

Unexpectedly, the conquered Turkish troops were still unable to escape the collapse after causing some chaos and casualties.

Finally, I met another rebel army who came to fight and support, claiming to be the third order of the left wing, "Cangshan Army". In terms of equipment and outfit, an army that was much more refined than the expansion of the Nufeng Camp; not only had relatively neat and unified robes, but also nearly 30 to 40% of the armored forces were not very neat, which almost caught up with the local government troops;

After they crossed the river, the people gathered together with flags waving, probably at least two or three thousand; among them, there were at least hundreds of horses with spears and swords and mounts with carpets. Among the many archer brigades, there was also a group of crossbowmen who were obviously made by official works;

Zhou Huaian was a little envious for a moment. After all, he had played crossbow hunting many times in Africa, and this thing almost represented the ultimate development of long-range killing in the era of cold weapons.

After joining with this common friendly force, Zhou Huaian, who was upset and uneasy, secretly exclaimed and repeatedly carried out some kind of self-reflection and reflection;

Sure enough, it was not so easy to survive in this ancient era, and he was obviously too arrogant and thought too simply at first. If it weren't for the incident of going out, he would have been trapped in some dangerous wishful thinking; because he calculated the various risks and possibilities, how could he have ignored the existence of the Tu people in Lingnan.

You should know that even in later generations, until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were still a large number of Tu people and barbarians in Guangdong, Guangxi or Lingnan. In the earlier Qin and Han Dynasties, the vast area south of the Five Ridges was once the territory of the indigenous ethnic groups known as Nanyue.

In this era, a large number of mountainous land barbarians, known as Liaoli, were widely distributed in the inland areas outside the coast of Lingnan. Even according to some local new soldiers, even in the boundaries of Guangzhou, there are scattered areas of corresponding villages, including the so-called "Mo Yao Man" (the ancestral source of the Yao people in later generations) and "Shan Ha Man" (the ancestral source of the She people in later generations).

In this regard, there are indirect descriptions and records in the "Sui Yan Xing" by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu or the "Song of the Manzi" by the great poet Liu Yuxi. The stream and mountain barbarians encountered in Shixiang Town before were a larger tribe in the "Xi Mo Yao" branch of the Tu tribe called "Mo Yao".

If you really want to go on the road alone according to the previous impulse, you are afraid that even if you can walk out of the control area of ​​the Rebel Army, you will either fall into the hands of these Tumen armed remnants hidden in the countryside, or become a new sacrifice for these Tumen barbarians.

If you want to survive, especially better, or even with dignity and quality, you still have to rely on the scale and strength formed together. For the first time, he had a faint longing and desire for the power among the abandoned rebel army.

Therefore, under this mentality of demanding, as the advantage of the mantis stalking cicada oriole behind, the majority of the Turkish troops attacked and seized from the rear were taken as a reason for their gratitude by Zhou Huaian, and the initiative gave to the rebels in this group, which was also given a relatively friendly and friendly treatment.

For example, ready-made hot food and priority medication treatment, then neatly supplemented, promised to send someone to escort the return journey, etc. So from this moment on, they finally entered a relatively safe environment and could recuperate and adjust well.

It is said that the leader of this unit was a general named Zhu, but he did not have any extra time to meet in person. Their small team and a self-proclaimed deputy battalion manager were sent. In the end, a deputy captain named Yang Neng was responsible for arranging and disposing of all things related to them, and by the way, he checked the specific ins and outs.

Therefore, after initially exchanging information with the other party and explaining the reasons before and after, Zhou Huaian took advantage of the opportunity to get familiar with it and also asked about some things on the stick.

"What are those thieves and their origins?"

Zhou Huaian said in surprise without hesitation.

"How could we bump into it..."

"It is obvious that the places along the way were all the places where I looked for the rebels."

"It should be the Tushiro team from Duanzhou (Zhaoqing) of the North Branch of Xiaojiang...."

Captain Yang Neng answered quite seriously.

"It is said that several streams and barbarians in the nearby mountains were also bought, echoing and opening their eyes..."

"These ghosts in the fields are familiar with the place, and they are able to secretly prepare for the road, kill our soldiers and lonely travelers..."

"At least a lot of people have died before and after...."

"This time the headquarters came here, it was also a place to help..."

Then things changed a lot. According to the news of the return of the horse exploration in the front, there were many cities, including Sihui County, which was stationed by the rebels. The experience of Shixiang Town was only a mere corner.

Therefore, in the urgent situation of the enemy, this group of men from Canton did not delay too much at this ferry and embarked on the journey to attack the enemy again. However, before leaving, they conscripted the excess animal power in this small team;

Then as symbolic compensation, some miscellaneous weapons were given back and re-armed them all, fortunately they could protect themselves on the way back; of course, the so-called plan to send someone to escort failed.

For Zhou Huaian, the most valuable gift was undoubtedly that he specifically asked to keep four crossbow arrows. Although it was the simplest wooden single crossbow, the patent leather was worn out and the bow string was a little soft, and the crossbow arrow had no stable tail feathers; but it also meant relatively simple and long-range lethality and threat;

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

Therefore, on the slowing backwards, he began to dismantle these crossbows in amidst the storm of the onlookers and the incomprehensible eyes of the onlookers.
