Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 338 Guan Cheng's Admiration

One of the scouts turned out to be Liu Shun.

Liu Ming's three new recruits who had just become scouts went up and handed over all the bandit's weapons, and then stuffed a letter of surrender into the bandit's arms, which turned pale with fright.

"I won't kill you, but if you don't bring this letter back to your leader, the result will be something you never want to accept!" Liu Shun shouted.

Holding the letter suspiciously, the bandit slowly withdrew from the scouts, then disappeared into the grass in a flash.

Liu Shun's scout battalion has finally expanded on a large scale!

From 300 people to the current more than [-] people, the number has tripled!

This trip to Mount Tai happened to be a good opportunity for military training. Each team consisted of four people, led by an experienced old scout and a soldier under Chang Xi who was familiar with Mount Tai, plus two gangsters. Selected scout recruits.

Their mission is to capture all the enemy's scouts and bring back Feng Yao's surrender letter prepared in advance!

The Mount Tai bandits are scattered in Mount Tai, and they usually act very covertly. If you take the initiative to search for them one by one, it will be difficult to find them all. Chang Xi, who is familiar with the activities of the Mount Tai bandits, made this suggestion, which was appreciated and adopted by Feng Yao.

In addition to training the scouts, the rest of the soldiers are also training at the same time. Since there is no luggage cart, each soldier must carry his own rations and drinking water, plus dozens of catties, in addition to his own luggage. Heavy weapons and armor, the total load is more than a hundred catties!
Moreover, Feng Yao especially emphasized that the march this time was not dangerous, so the luggage and food that the elite soldiers usually handed over to the handymen must be carried by themselves this time!
In order to boost morale and attract the attention of the Taishan thieves hiding in the deep mountains, the leading generals have different marching slogans, and they will roar out in unison from time to time. Had to flee in all directions.

However, not all the teams have high morale. One team is almost all cloth armor, and the total weight is nearly twice as heavy as that of the other soldiers, but they are at the end, panting heavily. From time to time, he looked at the elite soldiers in heavy armor and high morale in front of them, with respect in their eyes.

The cloth armor army has a total of [-] people. They used to be the subordinates of the pirate Guan Cheng, but now, they have become part of Feng Yao's army!

They are omnipotent in the water, but mountain roads are not their forte!Although they are all selected from tens of thousands of pirates, they are the elite pirates that Guan Cheng is proud of!
At this time, Guan Cheng did not lead his own trilogy, but was at the forefront of the army, following Feng Yao with reverence on his face.

Guan Cheng is eight feet tall, almost as tall as Feng Yao. Because he has been exposed to the sun all year round, his face is as red as red, and he is very thick. A long flying rope wrapped around his waist, and the armor is refined leather armor!
There is also a short bow on the back, and a leather quiver with twenty arrows!
This whole set of equipment is the most suitable equipment for naval warfare. It is mainly light, and the wooden shield is a must. , When you usually sleep on the boat, you can also use a large shield to block the scorching sun!

Because when Guan Cheng came, Dai Ling had already led the army and left with all the luggage, and did not leave any extra armor to equip Guan Cheng's pirates.

The roads in the mountains are rugged, and many times, because the roads are too narrow, Feng Yao has to order the army to re-open several mountain roads, so from time to time, rocks are moved by the army, rolling down the cliffs, and there are loud bangs. !
Those branches or thorns blocking the way were all cut off one by one by Feng Yao and his followers!

Guan Cheng also yelled from time to time, imitating Feng Yao's appearance and struggling to drive on the road, swinging the big knife in his hand from time to time, cutting off the thorns blocking the way, and pushing them aside!

None of the people were riding horses. Although the war horses were also with the army, they were trailing behind and led by the groom. Besides the saddle, there was no weight on the horse's back, which could have been placed on the horse's back. At this time, all the luggage has to be carried by himself, including Feng Yao who is the lord.

Feng Yao's large shield is made of all steel and weighs sixty catties. The armor is Mingguang armor. Although it is lighter than the thicker iron armor, Feng Yao also specially made armor to protect the forearm and calf. The weight still weighed more than [-] catties, and Feng Yao's luggage was even heavier than the others, weighing almost [-] catties, plus the weapons, the total weight was more than [-] catties!

These two hundred catties happened to be the most standard weight for a beauty. Feng Yao imagined the additional weight as a scene of carrying a beauty on his back to open the way, so he looked relaxed and cheerful, walked like flying, and danced greenly. Where the cold light flickered on the sword, the thorns were cut into countless pieces like nothing, and swept aside.

Although Guan Cheng's load was much lighter than Feng Yao's, it was not as easy as Feng Yao's. Mountain roads were not his forte. Take it easy, Guan Cheng is ashamed of himself!

Prior to this, Guan admitted that Feng Yao was just a young man who had not yet been crowned weak, and that he was able to achieve his current status only because of his subordinates, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. Although he was moved by Feng Yao's courtesy and Wang Sheng's persuasion, he took the initiative to come Vote for Feng Yao, but in the bottom of my heart, there is always a trace of dissatisfaction.

However, with the two days of contact and what he saw since the march, the dissatisfaction in Guan Cheng's heart gradually turned into admiration for Feng Yao. Deep in his heart, he secretly rejoiced that he could meet Feng Yao A lord like Feng Yao!Proud of his original decision!
It took three days for the army to stop and go in the mountains before they crossed the edge of Mount Tai and arrived at the hinterland surrounded by Mount Tai, Fenggao City, Taishan County.

And it was already the seventh day of April!The weather has been very warm, but not hot!
During the three days of the march, dozens of bandits, large and small, received Feng Yao's letter of surrender one after another. Some were frightened, some were excited, and some didn't send out scouts because they didn't care. The thief leader who inquired about the news also saw Feng Yao's letter of surrender from other thief leaders, and was panicked afterwards.

Some thieves met with each other and got together to discuss countermeasures.

"What if we pretend that we haven't received the letter of surrender?" asked a very short and fat thief chief.

"I think Mr. Feng will be very furious, and then send his generals into the mountains to besiege us. I heard that one of his generals, surnamed Wei, was named Yan. This person once led the army to fight against Cao Cao alone. The army was defeated, this person once wanted to raze all our strongholds on Mount Tai!" Another thin and tall bandit leader replied in fear.
