Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 32: Dressing neatly like this is what you call a first-class

Zhang Yuan knew this news.

Wang Qinian has been playing the flute for two years.

As soon as the guy drank, he said that when the Black Ice Platform took back the Wuwei Yamen, he, Wang Qinian, would no longer be the bleak leader of a dozen secret guards and spies under his command, but a figure in charge of hundreds of elite soldiers.

It seems like the Wuwei Yamen really has many elite troops.

Zhang Yuan agreed to go to Yong'an County on behalf of Hu Yang. Hu Yang quickly took out all the information he had about the bandit suppression, and gathered their team of black uniform guards outside the lobby, shouting to pass on the transfer order.

The city was more than two hundred miles away from Yong'an County, and at the speed of the Wuzu's march, it would only take a day.

Tomorrow morning, the government office will arrange military equipment, logistics, and several vehicle frames and head straight to Yong'an County.

Zhang Yuan did not stay in the yamen for long, but returned to Dingjia Lane and went to the academy on the way to ask Master Tao to find some information about the bandits on the Guangji River in Yong'an County.

The combat capability of the Black Ice Platform is currently worrying, but it has many secret agents and has gathered a lot of information from all sides.

In the underworld, in the government, everywhere.

This is also the reason why Heibingtai has become more low-key.

To be hated.

After returning to Dingjia Lane, Zhang Yuan took out two taels of silver and told Guo Da and Old Man Xu to visit the families of several comrades in the next few days, and also to go to the academy and the clinic.

In the evening, Tao Hong sent a map of Yong'an County and information about underworld forces.

Guo Da took some medicine from Hu Chunniu's clinic and gave it to Zhang Yuan.

The other guards who received the conscription order would also go home that night to arrange everything.

As a military guard, this kind of mission is common.

Since it is a mission, there are dangers involved.

No one dares to say that he will come back alive.

This is the Qin warrior, ordinary and resolute.

These ordinary soldiers built the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhang Yuan had nothing to arrange at home, so he just stayed in his room looking at the maps and messages sent by Tao Hong.

There are chaotic records and analyses, and he just needs to choose the key points to remember.

While reading the information and practicing, his qi, blood and true energy continued to flow.

He has been tempering his body with qi, blood and true energy to increase the body's carrying capacity. This is what he is doing now.

When one is unable to find the divine opportunity or the Grandmaster Tribulation to enter the Grandmaster realm, constantly sharpening the body is the most basic means of improving combat power.

Zhang Yuan got up before daybreak, and Old Man Xu and his wife in the front yard had already prepared breakfast.

In the small courtyard of Dingjiaxiang, such things have become a habit.

After breakfast, Zhang Yuan put on a black military robe, did not carry any weapons, and went straight to the Wuwei Yamen.

When we arrived at the Wuwei Yamen, it was already dawn.

The two teams of black-robed guards assembled in front of the yamen.

"With you here to take over, Hu Laoqi feels really at ease." Seeing Zhang Yuan, the leader of the other team spoke.

Qi Junliang is the Qi Laowu mentioned by Huyang.

There are a total of eight armed guard teams in the yamen, each with its own number.

Zhang Yuan's team ranked seventh.

Qi Junliang's team is fifth.

This ranking is said to be based on strength, some say it is based on the combat power of the leader, and some say it is based on the years of establishment.

Only Shangguan knows the specific standards.

In the yamen, a middle-aged man wearing the black-patterned military uniform of a seventh-rank sergeant and a sword hanging at his waist walked out quickly. He glanced at Zhang Yuan and Qi Junliang who were standing in front of the stone steps.

"Are they all here?"

Zhang Yuan and Qi Junliang clasped their fists and said, "We're all together."

The sergeant nodded and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Zhang Yuan and Qi Junliang clasped their fists again and said, "Yes."

……

When the sun rose, two teams of white-robed guards had already left the city in seven carriages.

Heading south, there were soldiers riding their war horses galloping back and forth ahead, exploring the way.

Although the Wuwei Yamen was not a military unit, its marching also followed the military laws of the Qin Dynasty.

Scouting every ten miles and being on guard every five miles is the minimum standard.

Each team has five war horses. The leader can ride one, and the other four horses are ridden in turn by the two scouts.

The scouts of Zhang Yuan's team are Feng Cheng and Chen Wu.

This was Zhang Yuan's arrangement.

It's not that Zhang Yuan is partial. He was the one who taught Chen Wu horsemanship, so he can ride and fight. Feng Cheng's family is well-off, and his martial arts skills are not bad. He has also practiced horsemanship before.

Most of the Zaoyiwei in the Wuwei Yamen were infantry warriors who could ride horses, but not many of them had the ability to fight on horseback.

At noon, the entire army rested.

At this time, it was more than eighty miles away from Luyang Prefecture.

The two teams of black-robed guards gathered around each other, and a soldier went to the carriage in front and brought out steamed buns and water. The warm water in the bamboo tube had been boiled overnight and cooled.

The steamed buns are also steamed overnight and wrapped in layers of thick cloth.

The Qin Dynasty emphasized that food and fodder must be sent before the army moves, and all logistical supplies are of paramount importance.

Any mistake in military logistics will cost you your head.

"Brother Yuan."

When Zhang Yuan was sitting and eating steamed buns, someone called him from behind.

Looking back, I saw a young man wearing a black martial arts robe, his face full of respect.

"Huang Sanliang?"

"I just saw you. Didn't you have something going on at home recently? Why are you here on this mission?"

Zhang Yuan spoke, stretched out his hand to pull Huang Sanliang to sit next to him, and handed him a steamed bun.

Huang Sanliang and Chen Wu were the first disciples of Yulin Academy and were also Zhang Yuan's comrades-in-arms. They both held positions in the Wuwei Yamen.

Huang Sanliang's cultivation is slightly lower than Chen Wu's, but he is already in the early stage of the acquired realm. The last time Zhang Yuan measured it, he had a blood and qi strength of more than 700 kilograms, which was only one step away from the middle stage of the acquired realm.

Because the family has a second child, Huang Sanliang has been going to the yamen less frequently recently.

"I should learn more about what Qi Tou meant." Huang Sanliang tore open the steamed bun and put a bite into his mouth.

"Is life a bit difficult at home after the second child was born?" Zhang Yuan turned around and asked.

Huang Sanliang paused for a moment, a look of embarrassment on his face.

The salary of the ninth-rank black robe guards was only one tael and five qian of silver. With the addition of young and old people in the family, it was really tight.

There are subsidies for going on missions, and if you have military merits, you can exchange them for silver.

"Be careful. My wife and children are at home. Don't rush in." Zhang Yuan took a bamboo tube, uncorked it, and drank a sip of warm water. "Also, remember, don't fight the bandits underwater."

"The bandits on the Guangji River are very good swimmers. We are wearing armor, so we will be at a disadvantage if we fight them in the river."

Huang Sanliang nodded and whispered, "I understand."

Looking up, he saw Chen Wu riding a horse towards him from a distance. Huang Sanliang smiled and threw a steamed bun over to him.

Chen Wu took the steamed bun and rode his horse to explore the way again.

The team continued to move forward, speeding up.

The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon and we had already arrived in Yong'an County.

Several warriors on horseback came forward and bowed in front of the carriage.

Leading the group was the Yong'an County Lieutenant, followed by the Yong'an County Government's Chief Constable and two armed guard captains.

The county's armed guards were under the command of the county lieutenant, and each team consisted of only ten people.

In front of the carriage, the sergeant discussed with the county lieutenant for a moment, asked a few questions in a low voice, and then turned to look at Zhang Yuan and Qi Junliang.

"It's thirteen miles from here to the Guangji River. The bandits are already arriving by boat. The Yong'an County soldiers have set up ropes blocking the river, preparing to encircle and suppress them."

"March ten miles quickly, then rest for a quarter of an hour, then put on armor and lead the troops."

The sergeant glanced at the two groups of soldiers and said, "The soldiers and horses are exhausted. You have worked hard in the attack and battle."

"Yes." Everyone clasped their fists and looked serious.

As a soldier of the Wuwei Army, even a thousand-mile raid can be carried out with just a command from the general.

The carriage was in front, and several war riders were leading the way.

After running for ten miles, there was a ten-zhang wide river in front of us.

The green waves roll, sparkling in the sunlight.

The carriage stopped and the soldiers came forward one by one to receive their clothes and armor.

They traveled light all the way, with their armor and weapons in the vehicles. Only the guards who were on guard and exploring the way carried weapons.

Zhang Yuan received his own armor and weapons.

Combat boots with bamboo shin guards, light and flexible.

A layer of soft armor, fine, thin, and puncture-proof, weighing eleven pounds.

The second layer of armor, with overlapping scales, can withstand heavy blows and chop, and weighs twenty kilograms.

Arm guards, elbow pads, shoulder pads, and helmets.

A one-foot short blade.

A four-foot long sword with a goose feather shape.

A protective hand crossbow, two boxes of twenty-foot-long crossbow arrows.

A five-foot javelin.

To wear scale armor, soldiers cooperate with each other and fasten the belts behind their backs.

Only when you are dressed neatly like this can you be called a first-class armor.

Anyone who can break the siege of three or five such soldiers alone is already a master.

Anyone who can break through the ten armors is definitely a strong one in the acquired realm.

Even if one is at the Xiantian realm, he would not dare to get trapped in such a formation of hundreds of soldiers.

By the time Zhang Yuan had finished getting ready, four soldiers had gathered around him.
