Autumn is the most comfortable period in northern Annan. Even if you walk in the wilderness and deep mountains, you can feel the beautiful autumn feeling.

The dark blue sky is pure and can wash away worries, and the clouds are as white as silk cotton.

The mountains have started to cool down, just as it is just enough to cover a robe or add half an arm on the summer clothes.

Passing by a mountain lake is like a paradise left behind, as beautiful as a painting. Water flows among trees and trees grow in the water. The water is particularly crystal clear and flawless, so pleasing to the eye. Between the deep mountains, forests, valleys and lakes that are undisturbed, there is a village of Juchengmen.

The stilt buildings are built on the hillside, lined up and arranged in an orderly manner.

The red leaves and yellow leaves on the mountain and the green streams embellish all this like an oil painting, which is a completely different artistic conception from the ink-shui Jiangnan.

Seeing all this, Qin Lang stood up immediately, even thinking that he was a sinner.

I should not break the elves kingdom in the mountains and destroy everything here.

Woo woo woo woo woo!

The sound of the horns broke the tranquility and beauty. Suddenly, countless elves rushed out between the mountains and rivers. They were the barbarians of Jucheng and the residents of the stilt houses on the hillside. They faced the outsiders wearing armor and holding sharp arms and murderous intent, picked up the hunting bow and hatchet, picked up the fishing fork and hoe, and rushed out from all sides regardless of everything.

Qin Lang shook his head.

Some people sympathize with these people, but they are actually just trying to defend their homes, and there is nothing wrong with that. But this is a barbaric era, and the strong are inevitable.

Are you wrong?

Qin Lang felt that it was not wrong. After experiencing this round of pain, Jucheng and Zuoxidong Man were included in the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be better long-term stability in the future. It is a good thing for Jucheng and the Tang Dynasty.

He comforted himself that labor pains are inevitable. If you don’t experience labor pains, how can you come to a new life?

He doesn't have to ask for an order.

At the foot of the mountain, the Tang army had quickly set up its formation.

With the pond cavalry's careful reconnaissance, the Juchengman did not have any chance to ambush the Tang army, and they did not have the strength now. The barbarians in front of them were just some women, children, young and old who were left behind in the village. Most of the young and strong men in their village followed Nong Sanniang to expedition to the Tang Dynasty, but they had not yet returned.

The stair hand wearing iron armor squatted in the front row.

The sword players were wearing leather armor and guarded with two wings.

The iron-armored longbowmen stood in the middle, behind them were crossbowmen wearing leather armor.

A small number of cavalry were at the end. Due to the mountainous terrain here, the cavalry did not have much room to play, so Qin Lang simply put them to the end and acted as a reserve team.

A team of scouts ran back with flags on their backs. They ordered the battalions behind to march intensified their march. As for the auxiliary soldiers and civilians behind, they temporarily gathered on the spot to stand by.

The roads between the mountains were narrow. Although Qin Lang personally led the southern army with 12,000 troops and 12,000 civilians, the 24,000 troops were still fifty miles away.

In order to avoid being ambushed halfway, Qin Lang sent 24 Tang cavalry to explore the way hundreds of miles in advance, strictly control the marching speed, maintain the distance between marching, stop and stop, communicate with flags and orders, be cautious and do not give the enemy a chance.

When camping at night, you even choose to explore the favorable terrain in advance and spend a lot of time to arrange defense.

The four thousand war soldiers were divided into two front and back wings, two thousand people in each wing, two miles apart. Each wing also had four battalions in front and back, with five hundred people in each battalion, two regiments in the lower left and right, and the Central Military Barracks Department.

Although each route recruited eight thousand township yong regiments and Liliaoxidongmans as auxiliary soldiers, Qin Lang did not let these men co-organize them. First, these soldiers lacked armor and helmets, and their training and equipment were not strong. Moreover, the marching in the mountains was narrow, which was not conducive to large armies' combat. The more people were crowded, the harder it was to command. So he simply asked the auxiliary soldiers to separate, the war soldiers were ahead, and the auxiliary soldiers followed a few miles apart, widened the distance, and commanded them.

The auxiliary soldiers followed from afar and supported the cover.

At this time, the enemy was the South Route Army's left wing and the right wing was suppressing the enemy in another valley not far away.

The two thousand soldiers, including fleets from the Navy, guards from Wu'an Prefecture, border troops from Jiaozhou, regiments from Yongzhou and other places, as well as government soldiers from Fujian and Guangdong, are all elite.

The longbowmen were wearing black armor and holding single jujube wood long bows, and were strong and burly.

The wing-eight-step spear held by the stair spearmen is an upgraded version of the spear.

As the saying goes, the eyebrows are a stick, seven feet are a gun, eight feet are a spear, one twelve inches are a big gun, and one twelve inches are a spear.

This 18-foot foot is actually used in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the height of the warrior is eight feet, while that of the warrior is ten feet. The 18-foot spear is actually a spear handle with a spearhead and a spearhead that reaches three times the height, which is called the three-body. Therefore, the 18-foot spear at that time was actually about four and a half meters long.

When the Qin Dynasty arrived, the Qin army not only had an unparalleled crossbow formation, but also had a longer large spear with a handle of two and four meters long. It could reach seven meters long with a sword-like spear head. This super-long Qin spear formation composed of bamboo and wood spears became an iron wall. It was invincible with the unparalleled crossbow formation of the Qin army.

In fact, it is not suitable for using a stair spear that is more than one meter long in the mountains. The strongest ones in the world are the Jianghuai soldiers. These Jianghuai soldiers were the continuation of the Northern Army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Jianghuai slingers were as famous as the Jianghuai crossbowmen, and were powerful soldiers who could fight against the northern iron cavalry and even armored cavalry.

The super-long stair spear lacks flexibility than the spear and its maneuverability has also been greatly reduced, but its restraint on cavalry is super strong.

At this time, the officers shouted orders.

The marching spearmen ordered the four-meter-five-step spears raised vertically when they marched to the ground, and then the marching spearmen wearing iron armor sat on the ground.

Juchoman rushed over from all directions bravely.

Qin Lang stood under Sanchen's banner and looked at the team.

In green robes or black clothes, the materials you can see are mostly made of kale and erectus, and the clothes are mostly short-lived. There are basically no armor tools, and the weapons are of varying lengths and are extremely simple, both men, women, women, and young and old.

A sigh.

This is to die.

The two thousand Tang army formed several infantry formations in the narrow mountains, using regiments as units to fight the enemy.

Compared with the people of Jucheng who rushed over with shouts and roars, the Tang army was a bit too quiet.

Before the battle, no one said anything.

The long bowman, the crossbowman opened the bow and opened the crossbow, and no one looked left and right.

Before the military order was issued, no one shot an arrow.

This is the quality of the elites of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing's military strategy includes military regulations and regulations specifically written about the military law of the Tang Dynasty. Among them, there are many strict military laws when war begins. For example, when fighting, each of them is in a uniform position, and they are not allowed to look east and whisper, or speak loudly. They are not allowed to attack in advance, and they are not allowed to cross the team and advance. They must follow the military orders when advancing and retreating, otherwise they can be directly killed.

The regiment commander stood under the regiment flag behind the crossbowman, while the brigade commanders of each brigade stood before the crossbowman and behind the marching spearman.

The leaders of each team are all at the forefront of our team.

The deputy teams of each team held a sword in their hands and stood in the last row of the team, and recorded their merits in supervising the battle.

"Prepare!"

The team leaders shouted, then put the iron whistle hanging around their necks into their mouths, and looked at the barbarian who had already reached the best range and blew the whistle in his mouth with force.

This kind of whistle was created by Qin Lang and was specially used for the heads of the army. Because the heads were at the forefront of the entire team, they were responsible for the command of the war, and were the front-line non-commissioned officers. Although they were of low rank, they were the grassroots backbone of the entire army.

In the traditional Tang army battle formation, each team had a team flag, with the flag bearer following the team head and two flag bearers guards. The team flag was where the team was located and the entire team was located.

Sometimes, the commander of the first army can even pass the orders directly to the team level, through these flags.

However, during large-scale battles, the battlefield was chaotic, and the real command of the grassroots officers was the grassroots officers. In order to allow the team leaders to better command and lead the team fifty men, Qin Lang specially added a lightning rod-like helmet tip to the leaders' helmet, and there was a small team flag on it, just like a small team flag. This allowed the whole team to see the position of the team leader more conspicuously and follow the team leader.

On the other hand, Qin Lang added an iron whistle to the team leaders, which was usually hung around his neck and blew it in his mouth during battle. He used several set lengths and short whistles to represent some simple combat commands.

The iron whistle also sounds loud and clear on the noisy battlefield, which is much more effective than asking the team leaders to shout with their mouths in the past.

Iron whistles sounded one after another in front of the formation.

The longbowman took the lead in launching the attack.

It's not a sling or a triple-split shot.

Facing this group of barbarians who cannot be called warriors, the team leader ordered the archers to shoot accurately, aim and then shoot.

The powerful long bow shot out the exquisite long arrow. The archers' superb shooting skills shot a black and thin Juchengman sixty steps away and shot an arrow into his chest. The powerful force shot the running old man into a dead end. He retreated and fell down, killed with one arrow, but could not get up again.

The axe he held tightly in his hand also slid to the ground.

The roar of the attack turned into wailing everywhere in a blink of an eye.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour.

After the barbarians threw down about a hundred corpses, they retreated in despair. They retreated to the hillside, staring at the Tang army at the foot of the mountain with blood. Those people could not get close to them. They didn't even touch the invaders, so many people died.

Countless crying sounds sounded on the hillside, calling for fathers and sons.

At the foot of the mountain, the victorious Tang army was not very happy. Such victory was inevitably heavy. They hoped to fight the elite barbarians quickly, rather than attacking the elderly, weak, women and children like this now.

Qin Lang sighed.

"Send a guide to come forward to persuade the surrender, and he said that those who surrender will not die."

Although the Tang army was able to easily advance forward to eliminate these defeated barbarians, no one opposed surrender.

Go out of the formation and came to the foot of the mountain to shout and persuade him to surrender!

"Juchengman is ungrateful and rejects Duke Wei's kindness, and they refuse to surrender!" The guide came back in shame and apologized.
Chapter completed!
