It was another day of traveling south. Everyone stayed overnight at a post house in a small town last night. At Tao Fengming's request, they set off early in the morning and continued south.
And as everyone walked closer and closer to the south, they had now passed through the boundary of Shaozhou Prefecture and arrived at the boundary of Guangzhou Prefecture. The distance from Nanwu City was probably only a few hundred miles.
And again, the situation here is even more worrying.
A large number of villagers are packing up their belongings and heading north. In each village, young and middle-aged people are supporting the old and the young, carrying large and small bags of things, carrying them on their backs, carrying them, or putting them on wooden carts.
Shangguan Road.
And on the busy and noisy official road at this moment, there were not only official officials, but also groups of soldiers.
A large number of soldiers, wearing helmets with white feathers on their heads and fine iron armor engraved with various poems and words, holding spears in their hands or carrying swords and shields, were rushing from various roads.
Their speed is not fast, but the team is extremely neat. Although they are a little dusty, their eyes are bright and clear, and there are regular footsteps on the official road.
Seeing this, the people along the way gave way to both sides, with pairs of eyes watching these soldiers with a sharp and murderous spirit heading south, with hope and hope in their eyes.
There were even many scholars standing by the roadside with their hands clasped and singing long songs, which seemed majestic and majestic.
Song Mu was also standing next to Tao Fengming with his hands down at this moment, watching these people heading south, and at the same time, he kept walking around on their bodies.
Several academic scholars nearby were also talking about it, and Xue Kaiwen, who was standing next to Song Mu, even spoke at this moment.
"These are elites. Their armors and weapons are so bright!"
Fu Zefeng, who was next to him, smiled and snorted when he heard this, and explained: "These are probably just second-rate soldiers among the border troops. You see, they mostly hold swords and shields, or spears and crossbows."
"I have seen the elite of the army over there once, but they all hold short spears and Tang Hengdao, and their whole bodies are covered with armor covered with poems. They follow orders and prohibitions, and they are always murderous."
"It is rumored that when they went to the battlefield, they sang all poems and war songs. Although each of them was blessed by the frontier poets to be a child or a scholar, when they gave the order, the poems sparkled and the killing sound shook the sky.
.”
Fu Zefeng said this next to him, but there was an incomparable flash in his eyes. Maybe he also yearned to be one of them, and several people beside him were also fascinated for a while.
The Wen Dynasty established its country with culture, but it always maintained its troops with war to consolidate the country.
Over the past few hundred years, countless literati and lofty ideals have joined the army, and many military legends have emerged.
Song Mu also turned to look at Fu Zefeng, a little stunned at the moment, and at this time another group of people came from behind the long queue.
They were covered in dark gray armor, and underneath the armor were burgundy robes. Each of them had their hair tied up, and their aura was completely different from the previous troops.
"It's the talent team!"
Not far away from Song Mu and others, a lonely scholar spoke with a lively expression. The three or five friends next to him also stood up one after another and handed over their hands.
Song Mu was dumbfounded and looked at the teams again with a bit of shock in his expression.
This is the scholar who chooses to join the army after reaching the level of scholar, also known as the scholar in the army.
It was also the combat power of the Wen Dynasty in the true sense.
At this moment, some people started cheering on the roadside, and many people looked at these military scholars with reverence. The vast team came quickly, and now they lined up in two rows, and there were actually hundreds of scholars.
The weapons they carry are also very different from those before. Most of the weapons they hold are longbows or crossbows. However, there are two quivers hanging on both sides of the armor's legs and skirts, and there are quivers inside.
Iron arrows. Shining light
On their waists, there is a small baggage slung at the back, rolled up with four or five arm-length iron pipes. There is also a Wat board on one side of the waist, and there is also a double-sided width that is as long as an adult's forearm.
blade.
"What they hang around their waists is Mo Dao. These people can already use Mo Dao. They are at least talented scholars who have been in the army for three years!"
Fu Zefeng, who was next to him, suddenly said, his eyes almost reaching those people's bodies now, with a bit of excitement on his face.
The Mo Dao is a weapon from the Tang Dynasty. It was originally used to fight against cavalry, but in this era, the Mo Dao is also a sharp weapon against huge monsters.
The momentum is strong and heavy, and the dance is fierce and windy.
Song Mu suddenly lost his focus when he saw all this, his eyes were overwhelmed, but Tao Fengming next to him was just smiling and holding his hands behind his back.
Hundreds of scholars were passing by at this moment. Suddenly, a person at the end of the line let out an exclamation, then took two quick steps and came straight to Tao Fengming.
He was a middle-aged man with a short and thick beard, a Chinese character face with thick eyebrows, a masculine look all over his body, and a suit of armor that complemented each other even more. His strength as a judge was not compromised by that of Xiao Xiong, who was equally strong.
At this moment, he walked up to Tao Fengming, made a fist with his left hand, and beat it on his right chest.
This is a military salute, different from the hand-over salute inherited from the Tang Dynasty.
"Captain, I didn't expect to see you here."
The man spoke with an extremely deep voice, but his eyes kept scanning Tao Fengming's body.
When Song Mu heard this, he also turned his head and looked at Tao Fengming. Tao Fengming did not speak, but nodded slightly.
"Commander Feng, where are you from?"
Tao Fengming asked, and the scholars next to him all looked sideways, curious about the man in front of them and how Tao Fengming could be called a captain.
"We came from southern Yunnan and traveled thousands of miles to support the battlefield in southern Xinjiang."
Tao Fengming nodded, but at this time Brigadier Feng's eyes flickered a little and he asked.
"The Captain is here this time to see the Governor..."
"No, I was just going hunting with my students, and I happened to meet you."

swept across people's faces.
Song Mu looked at him and could feel the confusion and confusion in this guy's eyes.
"Then... I still have important things to do in my humble position, so I'll resign first."
Brigadier Feng didn't say anything at the moment, he just raised his hand towards Tao Fengming, and Tao Fengming also nodded.
The army continued to move forward. At this moment, there were a large number of soldiers on this section of the official road. There were not only ordinary troops running in front, but also baggage trains in the rear. These people were walking in a hurry and heading south with serious expressions.
Song Mu and others stood nearby for a moment, and Tao Fengming waved to everyone, left the official road, and turned around to enter the nearby forest.
Along the way, the topics of discussion among everyone suddenly changed. They were excitedly discussing the majesty and might of those teams, but also couldn't help but look at Tao Fengming in the team.
At this moment, they were also very curious about Tao Fengming's background.
Song Mu was also very excited. Not to mention how shocked those people were to him, the appearance of these people also gave Song Mu a new understanding of the Wen Dynasty.
Times have changed, and the soldiers of this era have undergone tremendous changes from the historical data. What excited Song Mu the most were the scholars.
In this era, scholars are the mainstay in various senses. They can conspire in temples and fight on the battlefield.
This made Song Mu feel his blood boiling.
Especially after experiencing two consecutive fierce battles, Song Mu now understood more clearly what strength represented. In this era, since he chose to be a scholar, he must shoulder the responsibility and mission of a scholar.
Scholars should have the world in mind and devote themselves to it!
