The hooves of the horses stepped across the stream, and Tong Guan rode a horse given by Wu Haogu and had already set foot on the north bank first. Immediately after that, more than a dozen knights and more stubborn armorers followed.

On both sides of the road, mountain peaks stand tall and giant trees stand out. A team is marching in a mighty procession, walking on the road from Haeju in Goryeo to Kaegyo.

The mission led by Liu Kui and Tong Guan has now set foot on the land of Goryeo!

Although there is a distance of 1,3400 miles between Haizhou in the Great Song Dynasty and Haiju in Goryeo, the emphasis on sailing on the sea is to have a tailwind and no wind, and if there is a headwind or no wind, it is not enough to go for a hundred miles. If the wind is favorable, you can travel dozens of miles in an hour, faster than the cavalry! 1,3400 miles is a little more than a day's work.

And Liu Kui and Tong Guan were very lucky, they encountered the west wind when they left Haizhou Bay, and they arrived in Haizhou, Goryeo in two days. Because they did not suffer much from wandering at sea, the mission only rested in Goryeo Haeju for a few days before heading north.

The reason why it was so vast was because Wu Haogu sent a hundred obstruction war slaves led by ten doctors. In fact, these war slaves are not very strict, and these grassland people are not very disciplined. Even if Murong Forget worries was reorganized, it still seemed loose. But they have good physical strength and can endure hardships. Wearing iron armor, wearing an iron helmet, carrying a rattan shield and luggage, a long sword and bow hanging on his belt, and a spear more than a foot long in his hand, a weight of more than 100 catties can be properly carried and he can walk with his head covered, and he can walk quite fast!

And Fan Zhiwen and his nine classmates are now also leading by example, putting on leather armor, carrying shields and luggage, carrying long swords, and hurrying away with a snort—they didn't even fall behind.

The scene of more than 100 men, fully armed and hooded, is very shocking at any time.

And the two who followed behind these guards on horseback and came to greet the Song envoy Tuo Junjing, the Privy Council of the Goryeo State, and Wu Yanzhong, who was transferred to the state pastor of Haizhou, were also frightened by these "Great Song Forbidden Army" in front of them.

"Wu Zhoumu, I heard that the Song State was weak in force and could not withstand a Khitan blow. Could it be that these soldiers in front of him are the legendary weak Song forbidden army? ”

Quietly talking to Wu Yanzhong was a minister of the Goryeo Kingdom named Tuo Junjing, who was the confidant of the king of Goryeo, Wang Hao, an old man who had followed Wang Hao since he was in the palace, and one of Wang Hao's most trusted generals.

Because he learned that the Song Dynasty mission had brought an "Iron Guard", Wang Hao sent Tuo Junjing to take a look - after all, the Goryeo Kingdom had not fought for decades, and the generation that had been on the battlefield was basically hanging. No one alive now knows what the real elite looks like? I also don't know what the standard of the weak chicken army is that is unbearable to the Khitan?

But I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it!

At least a hundred pounds of weight, and he walked dozens of miles with his head covered, and the marching speed did not slow down at all...... Is this a vulnerable army? What do the victorious Khitans look like? Three heads and six arms?

"This ......" Wu Yanpet shook his head, "This subordinate doesn't know much either." ”

"I don't know?" Tuo Junjing frowned, "Haven't you been to the Song Kingdom many times?" How can it not be clear? ”

Oh, yes! Wu Yanzhong has not only been to the Song Kingdom, he was born in Haizhou in the Great Song Dynasty at all, and has lived in Haizhou for more than 20 years, but he has not seen the "elite of the forbidden army" stationed in Haizhou, all of them are soft and cowardly, how can they endure hardships so much? If the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty are going to be like this, the Khitan and the party will have perished a long time ago, right?

"Maybe they can only march ......," Wu Yan said, "Why don't you try them?" ”

"Try?"

"Don't be good at shooting?"

Tuo Junjing smiled: "How is it not good?" I'm the King's bodyguard. ”

"Then when you get to the pavilion later, don't drive, invite Song Jun's good hands to try archery."

"It's good!" Takuto nodded.

……

"Good at archery?"

As soon as Fan Zhiwen arrived at a Goryeo Pavilion that looked shabby, and before he could eat a bite of kimchi, he had cold noodles, and Tong Guan looked for him, saying that the Goryeo wanted to compete with the samurai of the Great Song Dynasty in archery.

"Congbin," Tong Guan carefully stroked his remaining beard and said with a smile, "Go and call everyone who shoots well in archery, and compare with the Koreans, don't fall into the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"All called?" Fan Zhiwen asked.

"Yes!" Tong Guan nodded.

"Whoa."

Fan Zhiwen couldn't help complaining in his heart that the Koreans were troublesome, but he still went down to arrange - there are many people who are good at archery, except for ten doctors, everyone else is good, how can you be a diviner if you can't shoot arrows well?

In a short time, more than a hundred diviners in iron armor lined up outside the pavilion, each with a buffalo horn bow in his hand and a three-point arrow in the other.

"All, all good hands?"

Seeing this situation, Wu Yanpet was also a little confused, he was speaking Chinese, that eunuch Tong Guan wouldn't be incomprehensible, right?

"That's nature!"

It was Liu Kui who answered this question, but he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, he was purely bragging.

He didn't know where Tong Guan found so many stupid forbidden soldiers...... I walked dozens of miles in most of the day, and I was still wearing iron armor and carrying luggage, but no one wanted to be rewarded! Must be stupid!

And the equipment of these fools is also strange, how can it be a spear, a sword and shield, and a bow and arrow. What the hell do they do? You can't be proficient in everything, right? This can be the head of the sect.

"Official, the target has been set up, can you shoot?"

At this time, Fan Zhiwen walked quickly to ask for instructions.

The so-called targets, the envoys, are some clay pots taken out of the pavilion and placed on a row of white wood-based tables. Seventy or eighty paces away from each white wooden table was a divination man in iron armor.

"Shoot!" Tong Guan nodded.

"Put!" Fan Zhiwen immediately roared, and then heard a "collapse" bowstring sound, followed by a faint commotion.

All the jars and jars were shot to pieces! Not a single arrow missed......

Wu Yanzhong and Tuo Junjing, as well as Liu Kui, the main envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, looked stupid!

That Privy Council of Goryeo doesn't have the face to compare with others...... At such a distance, there were more than 100 people, and not a single arrow missed!

This is the legendary weak soldier who is unable to withstand the blow of the Khitan?

How powerful should the Khitan Heavenly Soldiers be? The king also dreamed of taking the Khitan Tokyo Province after defeating the Jurchens...... This, isn't this sent to death? When you go back, you must persuade the king.

And Song made Liu Kui even more surprised than Tuo Junjing, where did these big-headed soldiers come from? Such a small jar can be shot with an arrow at such a distance! Where did Tong Guan's pickled goods come from? Could it be the Western Army? When you look back, you must ask carefully, you must ask clearly. How can the generals who can train this kind of elite soldiers have to be recommended to the official family, and they must be greatly reused!

In addition, I don't seem to see the dozen or so little warriors in charge of the soldiers with money or silk silks...... Is it really okay not to give?

Drove such a long way in full armor, and also performed archery, so hard...... Can you give a reward or not? The rules of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army are that if you don't give money before going into battle, you won't draw a bow! They don't mutiny, do they?

……

"Bounty? No, you don't have to give it, do you? ”

Fan Zhiwen was really unlucky today, he had just arranged for the big guy to eat kimchi, cold noodles and air-dried beef, and before he could eat a bite of kimchi, he was called to Liu Kui and Tong Guan for questioning.

The question is about giving a bounty...... Of course, these obstruction war slaves have interests, and they can't be so obedient without interests.

Wu Haogu gave them a house and a slave girl as a wife in Jiehe Commercial City, and now the one hundred and three people dispatched are already fathers. They work hard outside, and the wives and children at home are taken care of by the city company, and they are paid monthly for food. If they die in the line of duty, their wives and children can also get high pensions, and if they rebel, then their wives and children will become slaves and be sold.

As for the reward money or something, the guards of Jiehe Commercial City don't have this rule - how heavy is the reward, how many catties are a few catties of money, and it is transported to the battlefield? Is it too light or what? And if you are defeated and killed, won't the money be given away?

However, the commercial market is not without ways to encourage thugs to work hard, for example, these obstruction war slaves also have ranks, there are six ranks, including corporal, middle soldier, upper soldier, corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, and each time you rise to a level, you will increase your salary and change your house. Each step down will also reduce the salary.

By the way, the doctors of the doctoral group have the same ranks, the highest is the head of the doctoral group, followed by the deputy head of the group, the head of the group, the deputy head of the group, the head of the group, the deputy head of the group, the dean, the vice president, the head of the evangelistic group, the deputy head of the mission, the doctor, the alternate doctor, the doctoral student, etc., a total of thirteen ranks.

Among them, doctoral students and alternate doctors are not paid, and the eleventh rank above is rich and house-sharing. However, for those doctoral students in the Yuntai Academy, the position of the doctoral group is not what they want......

"No bounty?" Liu Kui was so surprised that he almost couldn't believe his ears, "What is your military number?" Is it from the Western Army? ”

"We don't have a military horn," Fan Zhiwen said, "we, we are the Evangelistic Corps, we are the Hakata Evangelistic Corps, and it was Wu Xuanzan who lent us to Tong Daguan." ”

"Evangelistic Corps?" Liu Kui's eyes widened, "This, this, this...... Is this a private soldier? ”

It looks like a private soldier! Although there are only more than 100 people, they are private soldiers who are not controlled by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council after all! If it is a Baojia Ding Zhuang who can't fight, it's just that, and there are not too few heroes with hundreds of Baoding in the Great Song Dynasty. But this elite is not Baoding, it is an army that is more elite than the Great Song Forbidden Army!

This martial arts is so ancient, with ill intentions! Liu Kui's heart was first shocked, and then ecstasy.

Wu Haogu's handle has finally been caught! Isn't the most taboo thing for the military attache of the Great Song Dynasty to have elite soldiers?
