Chapter 503: I Myself Used to Be a Master (Second Update)
Chapter 503
"Didn't you listen to that Master Zhang's analysis? This time, the Western Xia dispatched an army of 200,000 to destroy the city of Suide and capture more than 70,000 of our border people. ”
"After tasting such a big sweetness, that Xiaoliang Hou came with great interest, and wanted to attack Yan'an Mansion directly, but after Yanchuan was blocked, I heard that Huanqing Road had gathered a large army and was ready to go straight into the summer realm......"
"But after annoying that Xiao Liang, she saw the cheap, but instead of taking advantage of the half, she also took a slap on the head in Yanchuan, which had a big impact on her reputation, if she really gave up so easily, it would not be Xiao Lianghou who wanted to follow her aunt's example."
"Then Lord Wang, what do you mean, that Empress Xiao Liang will definitely do it, I heard that when he attacked the Suide army before, Western Xia mobilized 200,000 troops, and now, Empress Xiao Liang personally led 100,000 troops to aid ......."
"That means we need to deal with an army of 300,000?" Ma Shang's father-in-law couldn't help but gasp, he still has a good life to enjoy, but don't be completely cold at the border at a young age.
"It is said that it is an army of 300,000, but in fact, there are a lot of miscellaneous soldiers, and the direct elite, I am afraid that it is only 100,000, I said Ma Gonggong, do you need to be so afraid? The little face is so white. ”
"Champion Gong, you can see clearly, I'm drinking......" Ma Shang glared at Wang Yang with a black line, and said in an extremely depressed mood, even if his own *** is gone, but he used to be a gentleman.
Being able to be appointed by the Son of Heaven as a eunuch and a supervisor is enough to prove that he still has a very strong heart. Not...... At the beginning, Wang Yang violently beat Manager Xu and was so frightened that he fell into a coma, it was a long time ago, at least Ma Shang's father-in-law felt that he must have fainted because he didn't eat breakfast at that time, which caused him to faint with low blood sugar.
"Okay, just when you're drinking, then again, those Xixia barbarians are good at attacking but not good at defending, and they are not good at attacking cities, and over the years, they have been forced to retreat again and again by my Great Song Dynasty to build more walled cities and take every step of the way."
"Attacking a Suide army with a total strength of no more than 10,000 people, and Suide City itself is not a strong fortress, they have used 200,000 soldiers and horses, and Huanzhou and Gyeongju are the places where my Great Song Dynasty has experienced a hundred years, the city is high and deep, and they can take it to have ghosts."
Hearing Wang Yang's words, whether it was Ma Shangma's father-in-law, or those Ban Zhi and Chang Sui, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, among these people, Wang Yang's reputation, coupled with his deeds in the past, it was really impossible for these people not to believe Wang Yang's explanation.
What's more, these are indeed facts, and after Wang Yang emptied the bone marrow in the lamb stick bone, he smashed his mouth beautifully. "I hope that those Western Xia barbarians will come over and have a good fight with us, so that I can see the scenes of ancient conquests......"
"Yes, yes, I've grown so big, I haven't seen a fight with more than two hundred people." The ruffians of Ling Zong's mixed society are also very fascinated.
#####
After resting in Gyeongju for the night, the next day the army set out for Huanzhou again, and among the 1,000 craftsmen under Wang Yang's jurisdiction, Wang Yang transferred 300 of them to Yan'an Mansion with Chao Zhongyan, and also contributed 100 carts of cement.
Although the number is not very large, at least it is much more convenient to use it as a way to repair the dangerous positions of those breached fortresses than the glutinous rice juice that still needs to be boiled on the spot.
When he was in Bianliang, Tokyo, the Son of Heaven had discussed with Wang Yang whether to build a cement workshop in northern Shaanxi, but finally came to the conclusion that Shaanxi Road North Road was located in the war, and Xixia Xizuo haunted here all year round. If a cement workshop were built here, it was likely that the building material would be detected by the Western Xia.
It is very likely that this architectural artifact invented and created by the Great Song Dynasty will be used by the Western Xia barbarians, who were not good at building cities, to build cities, and when the time comes, it will greatly increase the difficulty of the Great Song Dynasty's conquest of Western Xia.
Therefore, it was just decided that according to the proposal of the previous Ministry of Industry Ning Shangshu, only cement workshops would be built in Jingzhao Mansion, that is, Chang'an, and Xijing Luoyang.
Of the more than 750 vehicles Wang Yang obtained, a total of 350 trucks were loaded with cement, 200 cars of mild steel crossbow arms, and the rest were loaded with repair and maintenance tools from craftsmen.
Two hundred carts, a total of 33,000 mild steel crossbow arms, which were intended to replace the crossbow arms of the god arm crossbow that were damaged due to frequent use on Shaanxi Road.
Shaanxi Road has been fighting against the barbarians who jumped up and down in Western Xia all the year round, and over the years, it has almost never stopped, and there are just a large number of crossbow arms that have been damaged, waiting to replace the crossbow arms.
Five hundred craftsmen were left behind to replace the crossbow arms with the craftsmen of the Gyeongju Crossbow Workshop, and the other two hundred craftsmen were to go to Huanju with the army.
It was not far from Gyeongju, and a team of men and horses galloped over there, and came to Wang Yang's rear army.
Hearing that Na Zhe Keshi was looking for him, Wang Yang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but he still rode up to meet him.
"Zhe Mou has seen Wang Jianjun...... "Seeing Wang Yang riding a horse, Zhi Keshi, who was on the side of the road, jumped off the horse and came forward to salute.
"Don't dare to be, General Zhe doesn't have to be like this, I don't know why General Zhe came to find Wang?" Wang Yang hurriedly dismounted and asked with a salute. also noticed that Zhi Keshi and the border generals around him all changed into a new Great Song Yuan You armor.
"Zhe only learned today that this light and strong Yuanyou armor was from the hands of adults, and even the Yuanyou crossbows held by those soldiers were also the handiwork of adults."
"To be able to get such a sturdy armor is equivalent to an extra life for us warriors, and this kind of clairvoyant mirror can make my Great Song Border Army know the existence of the other party before the enemy, so I am here to wait for you, Lord Wang, and I hope to be able to say thank you in person."
"It doesn't have to be like this, this is just what Wang should do, when the time comes, if the generals think that this Great Yuan Youjia needs to be improved, you must tell Wang."
The two sides simply rode horses together, and Wang Yang also asked Zhi Keshi, a young and powerful general, about some information about Western Xia, and inevitably asked about the border village in Shaanxi.
Fold but it is also full of words, and there is no end to it. Wang Yang really heard a lot of things, among the armies of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Army was the most effective in combat, and the Western Army was the border army on the Shaanxi Road, followed by the border army guarding the border with the Song and Liao Dynasty.
Although the Great Song Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops in Bianliang, Tokyo, due to the long-term lack of battle formations, even if it was well-trained and well-equipped, it was really on the battlefield, and the combat power could be half of the border army.
