Cheng Chumo and Lao Cheng left and asked Zhang San to report to the army tomorrow.
"Tomorrow I will take Hei Xiong, Er Wazi and Zhang Zhi to report to Cheng Chumo. Genzi, you stay with Zou Rong. On the one hand, you will wait for the caravan to come. On the other hand, you will go to the nearby road to watch and put those two things together.
Once we find the things, these will be the capital for us to make meritorious deeds and save our lives in the future." Zhang San ordered.
"Yes, sir." Several people replied.
That night, Zhang San returned to the bedroom and carefully wiped his hand crossbow. He didn't have much fighting power, so the hand crossbow was his biggest support.
There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Zhang San took the three of them to the military camp to report and officially started their military life.
"Xiaosan, let me introduce to you, this is Chen Wu, the captain of the first team; this is Song Liang, the captain of the second team." Cheng Chumo introduced Zhang San.
"Hello, I'm Zhang San, please take care of me from now on." Zhang San greeted with cupped fists.
"It's easy to say, brother Zhang San, we are all following Cheng Lushuai, and we will take care of each other from now on." Chen Wu and Song Liang had learned about Zhang San's identity from Cheng Chumo before, and knew that Zhang San and Lu Shuai were close friends.
Brother, I am very polite to this "three teams" team.
"Zhang San is my brother. After he went to the battlefield, please take care of him. General Cheng asked him to form a third team on his own. Although he only has five people under his command now, please don't underestimate my brother because of this. Do you know that you
The refined salt you eat was made by my brother." Cheng Chumo was worried that Zhang San would be looked down upon when he came in. Although most people in the army were frank, they also advocated force. Zhang San's figure was nothing at first glance.
combat effectiveness.
When the two heard this, they were very surprised. They clasped their fists and said, "It turns out that the refined salt was invented by Zhang Duizheng. I admire you very much!"
"Excellent." Zhang San also knew that this was Cheng Chumo's intention, and he wanted Zhang San to quickly establish a foothold in the team.
"Okay, the Turks have been active recently, and it's time for us to make contributions. Follow me out of the city and continue patrolling. We can't let the Turks escape from under our eyes." Cheng Chumo waved his hand, jumped up on his horse, and led
As everyone left the city in great force, they began a new day of patrolling.
Cheng Chumo led his men to patrol the northeast along the Sanggan River. Now the army led by Cheng Yaojin is mainly responsible for the Yingzhou area.
Across the Sanggan River are Mayi and Yunzhong. After Li Jing and Xu Shiji launch a fierce attack from Mayi and Yunzhong, Cheng Yaojin will take over the rear defense area to prevent Turks from stealing their homes.
Wei Xiaojie led part of the main force of the Heng'an Army to set off from Youzhou to prevent Jieli Khan from escaping eastward.
Zhang Sanhao often practices horseback riding at home, and with the rush on the road, his horseback riding skills are quite good at this time.
Zhang San was wearing armor, with a crossbow on his waist, and a Tang Dao on his back.
This knife was specially made by Zhang San and Da Zhuang. It is stronger and sharper than ordinary Baiyang Steel.
"Xiao San, I didn't expect that your equestrian training is pretty good, so I feel more at ease." Seeing that Zhang San could keep following the team, Cheng Chumo laughed and said, in the beginning, in order to take care of Zhang San, Cheng Chumo kept suppressing him
The speed of the team.
The speed gradually increased from behind, but Zhang San could still keep up, which made Cheng Chumo feel relieved. After saying that, he put his legs under the horse's belly, shouted "Drive!" and led everyone towards the Sanggan River at lightning speed.
Run.
The first time he rode horseback at the border, Zhang San was still very excited, and at the same time he was also very nervous. After all, he could encounter Turks at any time here, and a war would break out.
Arriving at Sanggan River, Cheng Chumo slowed down and sent out a few scouts to disperse in all directions.
Along the way, Zhang San passed through several small towns. These small towns had almost no pedestrians, and some villages were also empty. These people were afraid of the Turks breaking in and fled to other places. Some of them fled to the mountains and forests.
Avoid.
Zhang San was not familiar with this place, so he could only follow Cheng Chumo and pay attention to the surrounding environment along the way.
Not long after, a scout came back on horseback and said: "Commander of the Brigade, five miles ahead on the left, we found a group of disguised Turkic horsemen, about twenty people."
"Ha, we've discovered it. Chen Wu, you lead people to outflank them from the right side. We will kill this group of reckless guys today, but we can't let anyone go." Cheng Chumo said excitedly.
"Brother Xiaosan will take you to eat some meat today, so follow closely."
After Cheng Chumo finished speaking, he rushed towards the Turkic Rangers first.
Zhang San now understood why Cheng Yaojin wanted to take a good look at Cheng Chumo. This guy was more excited when he heard about Turks than when he heard about beautiful women.
Since it was his first time on the battlefield, Zhang San didn't know what to do, so he could only run forward closely with the team. Black Bear, Erwazi and Zhang Zhihu were at Zhang San's side.
After riding fast for a while, Zhang San vaguely saw some figures flashing in front of him. They should be the Turks the scouts mentioned.
Zhang San is actually also very curious as to how these people sneaked in. After all, this is not the front line, and these Turks are really brave.
The Turks seemed to realize that their whereabouts had been exposed, and they quickly ran away in the opposite direction with their horses shouting.
"It's not that easy to escape. Brothers, rush forward. Don't let any of them go!" Cheng Chumo saw the enemy preparing to escape. He shouted loudly and pursued him at full speed.
"Sir, be careful, there will be a fight with the Turks ahead." Black Bear approached Zhang San's left side, holding the Pu knife in his hand, looking ahead warily.
Erwazi was holding a bow and arrow and was behind Zhang San. Zhang Zhi, also holding a weapon in his hand, was running in front of Zhang San on his right.
"You all should be careful." The closer he got to the Turks, the faster his heart beat. This was not a movie. As a modern person, Zhang San felt very scared inside.
Fortunately, Zhang San studied medicine in his previous life. When he was in school, he often dissected small animals and saw blood. Although he felt his heartbeat speeding up and was a little scared, Zhang San quickly suppressed this feeling.
Chen Wu in front had already surrounded them from the right, blocking the Turks' northward escape route.
Cheng Chumo raised his horse and shouted: "Kill!"
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the group of Turks suddenly panicked. Fortunately, the leader shouted to calm the chaos, and the Turks also shouted and raised various weapons to fight.
The battle was about to break out. Zhang San kept a small distance from the small battlefield, holding a crossbow and preparing for a long-range attack. After all, he had no fighting ability. If he broke in, he would either get killed or bring a burden to Cheng Chumo.
Hei Xiong and Zhang Zhi chopped down the two Turkic cavalrymen who were rushing towards them, and blood spattered about a foot high.
From time to time, people fell off their horses in front of them. Although Cheng Chumo's side had the numerical advantage, the Turks were better at fighting on horseback. For a while, the two sides were fighting back and forth, and it seemed difficult to determine the winner.
Zhang San couldn't help but swallow as he watched people falling down one after another. He looked for the right moment with his crossbow and shot an arrow.
At this time, Zhang San saw a Turkic cavalryman holding a bow and arrow and aiming at Cheng Chumo, who was fighting fiercely with the Turkic leader.
Soon after, Zhang San shot two arrows in a row, and Erwazi behind him also shot an arrow.
The Turk who was planning a sneak attack was hit by three arrows in an instant and fell off his horse.
Cheng Chumo was also aware of the situation behind him. While fighting with the Turkic leader, he also bared his teeth and smiled at Zhang Sanyi.
Zhang San also admired Cheng Chumo for his big heart and dared to be distracted at this time.
