Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 517
Fortunately, Lu Junyi can now be regarded as a member of the Cangzhou Army system. He sent a sergeant to contact Shuichuan, and he got in touch with Lu Fang, the defender of Shuichuan.

Lu Fang arranged for Lu Junyi and others to station outside the city of Haoshuichuan, and the supply of water was finally found.

Lu Junyi's spear and club are unparalleled in the world, and Guan Sheng's big sword is rarely rivaled. The martial arts of these two people are still very fierce.

But Chai Lin's letter to Pang Wanchun made it clear that the two of them can only be generals, they can charge into the battle, but they can't fight alone. To put it bluntly, they are good at martial arts, but they are not good at thinking. Ambushed.

Midsummer in the northwest is very hot and there are many mosquitoes. Fortunately, the caravan sent mosquito nets, toilet water, etc., and passed a midsummer safely.

During the period, Xixia sent troops to Haoshuichuan to pick things up, and Guan Sheng took care of them. It is impeccable to single out these two.

As autumn just arrived, the soldiers led by Chai Lin arrived.

Tao Zongwang led [-] engineering soldiers as the vanguard, and the Northwest Army was dumbfounded. This group of soldiers must be too fierce.

Holding many tools that I have never seen before, I built the road along the way. The uneven rammed earth roads were all covered with a layer of sand and gravel. After the sand and rammed earth were mixed, it became extremely strong, and it was no longer sticky when it rained.

Numerous mule and horse convoys and camel teams filled the roads.

Commander Chai Lin had 4000 troops, Qin Ming and Lin Chong had 8000 heavy cavalry troops, half of the Liu Tang Artillery Army had [-] people, and [-] heavy artillery pieces of [-] calibers.At the back of the hall is the [-]-strong Hengdao Army led by Wu Song.

Wu Song has complained a lot recently, complaining that Chai Lin didn't arrange things for the Hengdao Army. Chai Lin equipped them with 80 mules instead of legs, and they traveled more than [-] miles a day without losing their chains.

Iron-hoofed mules are still very powerful, with strong endurance and unambiguous walking.

Liu Tang is like a curious baby. He is curious about everything and everything he sees in the northwest.

"Brother, this place is really not as good as our Cangzhou, but why does the imperial court attach so much importance to the Northwest?"

Pointing to the northwest, he said: "The northwest is the birthplace of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and the origin of Chinese civilization. The northwest area is vast, far exceeding the area of ​​the eastern region. And the treasures contained in this underground are far beyond your imagination. If we Losing the Northwest, future generations will point at our spines and curse. The people of Xixia suffered from the war and suffered heavy casualties, but they were coerced by the nobles to join the war. What we have to do is to rescue the poor people of Xixia and let them live a normal life. "

Dian Zhengnan glanced at Liu Tang with disdain: "Huang Maozi, if you don't know anything, just fight obediently, just like me, if my brother asks me to beat a dog, I will beat the dog, and if my brother asks me to beat a chicken, I will beat the chicken."

"Who can be like you, such a big man just doesn't have a brain."

"Humph."

"Humph."

Niu Gao led [-] light cavalry to stand sentry in front, scouting the battlefield, even if there were engineers in front, they did the same very carefully.

"Report, Weizhou City is twenty miles ahead. Engineers are repairing roads and bridges. We need to make a detour to reach Weizhou City." The sentry came to report.

The detour route needs to pass through a wild grass ditch, which is a standard place for ambushes.

For the sake of safety, the light cavalry first set fire to burn the weeds on both sides.

Chai Lin and the others stepped on the ashes and passed smoothly.

"It would be nice to have something to stand on and see far."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my head, a hot air balloon.Even if it is pulled by a rope, it can observe from high altitude and avoid ambushes.

A large army of people arrived outside the city of Weizhou in mighty force, and this time it was Army Division Zhu Wu who accompanied the army.

Zhu Wu entered the city and read out the imperial decree, demanding that the Western Army fully cooperate with the Western Conscript Ma Marshal Chai Lin to wipe out Xixia and save the people from the fire and water.

Zhong Shidao and others received the imperial edict, followed Zhu Wu out of the city, and came to visit Chai Lin in the camp, their words were full of respect.

Zhong Shidao patted his chest: "Our Zhong Family Army must obey the command of the Generalissimo, and if anyone dares to disobey the order, please ask the Generalissimo to do it."

Chai Lin hurriedly comforted the generals of the Western Army: "Everyone has worked hard. This sweeps Xixia, with the sergeants I brought as the main force. You only need to assist immediately, but if you have merit, you will be rewarded according to your merit. All the generals have worked hard. A man in armor."

"Thank you Generalissimo."

The generals of the Northwest Army are from aristocratic families, and they all have armor, but they still like the armor given by Chai Lin very much. The quality is so good that it is much stronger than ordinary armor. 's second life.

"Generals, follow me to see how the sergeants I brought." Chai Lin stretched out his hand, and invited Zhong Shidao and a dozen other generals of the Western Army to the school grounds.

Horns blew and drums thumped.

A small military parade began.

Lin Chong and Qin Ming's [-] iron-armored heavy cavalry led the way. Both men and horses were armored, and the cavalry wore masks on their faces.

If you compare people, you will die, if you compare goods, you will throw them away.The poor poor people in the Western Army can't even get enough to eat.

The next 1.8 heavy infantrymen, and a water of infantry armor, are all big men over [-] meters tall, holding large horizontal knives in their hands, and weapons such as tomahawks and maces hanging from their waists.

This is the heavy infantry, stand there, shoot feather arrows casually, except for the point of the back and hit the face, there is no fear of other places.

I can't understand the back, the tall and strong mule is pulling the heavy iron pipe.

Zhong Shi was a little confused. He had seen Cangzhou Army artillery last year.

What kind of stuff is this, at least fifteen hundred catties.

"Marshal, may I ask what this healthy mule is pulling?"

"This is a heavy artillery that can hit six or seven miles away, shake the ground and crack rocks."

Zhong Shidao began to feel sorry for his old rival Xixia Bing in his heart. The countdown to the destruction of the Xixia people has entered the countdown.

Under the artillery, it is impossible for Xixia soldiers to stick to the city wall. If you want to defend, don't even think about it.

You think this is over, there are still [-] firecrackers, this is a desperate existence.Even if the formation is spread out, even a hundred thousand troops cannot rush forward.

Originally, there was still a hint of arrogance of the Western Army, but now it has become submissive.

The area defended by the Western Army is relatively large, with more than a dozen cities.

Chai Lin couldn't mobilize more soldiers and horses, so he only mobilized Zhong Shidao to lead a few generals to lead [-] cavalry.

Although the territory of the Xixia Kingdom is not large, it is a barren land. In the past, the infantry moved too slowly and easily delayed the fighters, so only the cavalry was mobilized.

As soon as Zhong Shidao led the troops here, the logistics supplies came immediately.

The big white porcelain cans are filled with fish and shrimp, and there are roots and roots of pork legs.

Bags of rice and millet are processed very finely with very few impurities.

Even the bran and rice bran of horse feed are first-class products.
