Chapter 49 is very fruitful

After ascending the high platform, Wu Linglong subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva!

What did she see?

She couldn't believe it, this was really just an army of anti-thieves!

Steel Jungle! A jungle of steel appeared in front of her.

The ring-headed knife that shimmered with dazzling coldness, the sharp spear that seemed to pierce everything, and the small round shields of steel.

If these were just surprising to her, the hundreds of soldiers standing in the sunlight, wearing shining metallic plate armor, standing there like heavenly soldiers, were beyond her shock.

All the weapons are uniform, and the soldiers are muscular, but they are incomparably silent and terrifying, as if they were all copied from a mold.

Looking at this army, Wu Linglong seemed to see those, the legendary invincible force that swept across the desert and shocked the Quartet during the Han and Tang dynasties.

Chen Yan looked at the soldiers below with great satisfaction, since the success of the small blast furnace steelmaking experiment, he began to mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources to unify the equipment for the Dang Captive Army.

All this in front of me is the result of the efforts of the entire Sweeping Army system for more than a month!

Although out of the hundreds of armors, only more than 100 are full-body armor, and the rest are only half-body armor.

But it's still a great achievement!

Chen Yan raised his right hand, faced the Dang Capture Army hammered his chest, and gave them a military salute.

Whoa!

Many of the captured sergeants returned the salute together, and the movements were neat and uniform, which was extremely shocking.

"Wan Sheng!"

Chen Yan raised his fist and said with unconcealable excitement in his voice.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

“……”

The overwhelming shouts spread far and wide, as if they were about to shake the heavens and the earth.

"Everyone, gear up! The goal, Xixia Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, recapture the New Year's coins given by the imperial court to the Western Xia people! ”

As Chen Yan's orders were issued one after another, nearly a thousand soldiers and soldiers began to set off in a neat line.

Chen Yan personally led the team towards the junction of the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia!

The army set off from Anping and marched towards the Song-Xia border.

The border from Qinzhou to Song and Xia is close to four hundred miles, and there is no need to worry about the grain and grass needed by the army along the way, and almost all of these four hundred miles are included in the conversion.

Although he did not attack those cities, the vast rural areas were run into an iron bucket by Chen Yan!

Supplies can be replenished at any time along the way!

Chen Yan thought that when he came back after robbing this batch of coins this time, the Dang Capture Army should also take action against those cities.

……

Seven days later!

The wind was howling in the sky, but the coldest winter had passed, and the temperature was starting to rise, and the snow on the ground melted into snow water, which mixed with the mud and made the ground extremely difficult to navigate.

On the Song-Xia border, a convoy was moving slowly, the wheels of the carriage were deeply sunk into the muddy earth, and the convoy trudged with difficulty.

You can see how heavy the goods on the carriage were!

The convoy was led by a four-person sedan chair, and a man in a civilian robe sat in a sedan chair with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep.

Outside the sedan chair, a military general wearing iron armor rode a horse to accompany him, and there were many Song soldiers and soldiers around him.

Sergeant Song was thinly dressed, wearing tattered straw sandals on his feet, shivering in the cold of spring.

Holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, they escorted the convoy slowly forward, but the people who pulled the carts were even more miserable, and some even didn't even have a pair of straw sandals, and walked in the muddy ground with shiny feet.

I often slipped and fell to the ground while walking, and then I was faced with the merciless whipping from the overseer, and my big feet were covered with mud and water, and even my skin was cracked from the cold, and I had chilblains.

It's so miserable!

But the civil official was still sitting leisurely in a sedan chair, high on top, as if he was not from the same world as these people.

They were already very close to the Song-Xia border, and there were still a few miles at most, and they would encounter the Western Xia army who came to contact.

Dada......

A series of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, but the rhythm of the horses' hooves was very slow, after all, the current road conditions, the ground was full of mud, even if the war horse wanted to run wildly, it couldn't run.

The contact team of the Tangut people came slowly, led by a big man with a rough face, followed by three hundred tall and majestic heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor, and nearly a thousand elite infantry wearing leather armor.

Compared with the Song army, the spiritual outlook of the army can be called a heaven and an underground!

The two teams met and sat in the sedan chair all the time, and the civil official who seemed to be high above did not eat the fireworks of the world, and also stepped off the sedan chair.

He arched his hand at the rugged man.

"Lu Yuanpei, the official of the Song Rite Department, has seen the envoy!"

The rugged man in Western Xia didn't look at this Lang official, and looked at the convoy behind him.

"Song Daguan, your emperor has prepared all the coins for the year that our king has received?"

The rugged Xixia man said arrogantly, looking at Lu Yuanpei, the official of the Ministry of Rites, with extremely contemptuous eyes.

"For the peace of the Song and Xia countries, I ......"

"Shut up, Officer Song, who wants to listen to your nonsense, I only care about whether the New Year's coins are ready."

The Western Xia people interrupted Lu Yuanpei's words very rudely again.

Lu Yuanpei's face was completely gloomy, when did a martial artist dare to talk to him, a civil official, like this?!

But he had no choice, because this Wufu was the envoy of Western Xia, not the general of the Great Song Dynasty!

But in order to prevent a war between the two countries, no matter how unreasonable the Tangut people are, he has to endure it!

"Your Excellency, let's begin the handover."

Lu Yuanpei took a deep breath and said.

It's just that the Xixia people who are the leader are leaning their necks and don't even look at him.

One by one, the Xixia people howled and jumped off their horses and rushed to the convoy, the convoy people were rudely pushed to the ground, and the silk cloth, money and grain on the carriage were very rudely removed by them.

Sergeant Song dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and Lu Yuanpei was also dark-faced!

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Song Dynasty was now using troops against the north, he would definitely teach the arrogant Tangut people in front of him a good lesson.

Soon, the convoy became a mess, and even the belongings of the Song soldiers and the people were all robbed, and the Tangut people laughed wildly, pushing the cart, preparing to return to the territory of the Western Xia.

A Xixia man turned his head to look behind him, and a bright light flashed at the end of the heaven and earth in the distance, as if the sun was shining on the mirror, reflecting a dazzling light.

He was a little dazzled!

Immediately after, that flash of light turned into a line, slowly coming from a distance, and in the blink of an eye, a line became a large patch of light.

This Tangut finally saw clearly, it turned out to be an army!

Lined up in a neat military formation, the armor on his body reflected a dazzling light, and slowly approached this side.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

A shrill cry rang through the entire team, and the rugged Tangut man also cast his gaze into the distance.

"Enemy attack!"

"Everyone is ready to take the enemy!"

"The cavalry is on the horse, and the infantry is in formation!"

The leader of the Tangut let out a roar, jumped on his horse, and ordered the Tangut army to prepare to meet the enemy.
