Hutian snowed in August, although it was still in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but it had already felt the cold snap in the far north, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was getting colder and colder. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt's just that up and down Ping County, everyone's hearts are like hot coals.

Although the Chongyuan rebellion was not optimistic about the Great Song Dynasty, it was a good opportunity to recover Yanyun after all, and it was worth the price.

The Wang family is the most energetic.

Wang Liangjing has recruited 3,000 heavy cavalry, and the selection of heavy cavalry is different from that of light cavalry, first of all, the body is required to be strong enough, so that it can bear the heavy armor, gallop on horseback, and kill in the field.

But you can't be too tall, because if you grow too tall and weigh too much, your armor will have to be made very big, and it will crush your horse.

Therefore, these 3,000 people are of medium stature, with thin waists and wide shoulders, close to the bones and fat, all of them are full of rat meat, all of them are extremely strong, and there is not a trace of fat.

Father Wang was selected from the Wang Family Warrior Regiment and trained personally for a year, until today, he can be regarded as an official army.

Speaking of the army, it is a bit too much, because only a thousand people are equipped with plate armor.

The ordnance workshop is working day and night, they broke through the plate armor technology two months ago, and they want to make 3,000 pairs of plate armor before winter.

In other places, I'm afraid it will be difficult, but in Pingxian, there is no problem at all.

Zeng Gong personally supervised and rented 20 civilian waterwheels to the ordnance workshop, and transferred 100,000 catties of fine iron from the steel workshop.

The teachers and students of the Six Arts and Hundred Crafts Institute worked around the clock to convert the waterwheel into a forging machine, and began to beat wildly on the same day, turning pieces of steel into delicate plate armor.

The plate armor of the royal army is 2 mm thick on the front and 0.5 to 0.8 mm on the rest of the plate, and the inside is lined with raw cowhide, and the inside of the cowhide is comfortable silk. Even the plate armor of the whole body is still flexible at the joints, and there will be no situation where you will not move if you fall off the warhorse.

According to Wang Ning'an's requirements, all plate armor is produced on an assembly line, without complicated decorations, and everything is required to be of high quality and low price.

But even so, a deck of plate armor costs 50 pieces.

For this fee, Wang Ningan still accepts it, after all, it is still half cheaper than the starting person, and the protection has been improved a lot, it is more light and flexible, and it is deeply liked by the knights.

Zeng Bu assured Wang Ningan that within a month and a half, the plate armor would definitely be made.

Now the remaining problem is the war horse, the "little curly" is not enough, can only be made up of Northland horses, in any case, to pick out 10,000 of the best war horses.

But when Wang Ningan was busy with his work, news came from Lingnan.

Yu Jing sent 30 large ships to the north on the east and west roads of Guangnan, and a total of 8,000 horses were sent to Wari horses!

This news can startle everyone, Yu Wuxi is really amazing, this is just a blockbuster!

It turned out that after Wang Liangjin and they got war horses, Yu Jing immediately saw the opportunity, he got 100,000 stone white sugar, transported it to Tianzhu, traded with the local state, and exchanged 10,000 war horses, lost 2,000 horses on the road, and only 8,000 were transported to the Great Song Dynasty.

An average of 10 stone sugar for 1 war horse, in the eyes of Wang Ningan, a profiteer, is definitely a loss, and it has destroyed the market and made his plan to make a fortune fail...... But hearing the news, Wang Ningan was not angry with Lao Yu at all, on the contrary, he burst into tears.

It's worth it!

Don't suffer, where did these war horses come from.

8,000 horses Wari horses, plus the war horses in Wang Ning'an's hands, three knights, can barely equip 3,000 iron horses!

God help me!

Maybe in the dark, there is a fixed number, and even God is on the side of the Great Song Dynasty!

There are people, there are plate armor, and there are war horses!

With an iron hammer in hand, why not be afraid of Liaokou!

Zhao Zhen, who witnessed all this, was especially emotional, this is not God's blessing, but accumulation, and it comes naturally.

The production, organization, and mobilization capabilities of Pingxian County are simply breathtaking, and how the ordnance supervisor of the imperial court can produce so many high-quality plate armor in a short period of time, and how to recruit enough knights.

As for the war horse, Wang Ningan also said hello to Yu Jing, Lao Yu was also born in the six arts, informal, active, daring to start, and knowing how to do things. The military tun in Lingnan also achieved remarkable results, so that they could get enough sugar in exchange for war horses.

All in all, Zhao Zhen is very impressed, this is a courtier who does practical things, if there are a few more Wang Ning'an in the Great Song Dynasty, and a few more Six Arts Schools, why worry about the world is not prosperous!

In two months, the horses will be delivered, and the army of 3,000 iron horsemen will be formed.

Wang Deyong and Di Qing were selecting other light cavalry, and the two generals were ready to concentrate 20,000 light cavalry and 50,000 infantry, these 73,000 people were all the preparations for the Great Song Dynasty to recover Yanyun.

Zhao Zhen looked at his courtiers, moved and relieved, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, you Aiqing, you have done your best, and the rest is to see the changes in Liao." If we have a chance, we will do it, but if we don't have a chance, I promise you that after three years, I will personally recruit the soldiers, and I will not give up if I don't return to Yanyun! ”

"Here, have a full drink!"

Zhao Zhen raised his wine glass high, and the monarch drank it bitterly, but the big guy's heart was on Liaoguo. Whoever it is, I really don't want to wait another three years.

Yelu Chongyuan, you have to give it a force!

……

Youzhou City, Nanjing of Liao State.

King Yan Zhao, the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan, officially raised troops and established himself as the emperor.

Along with Chongyuan, his son Nelugu, Chen Liu, the king of Chen, and Xiao Hujian, the privy councillor of Zhibei, all responded with the 30,000 horses originally stationed in Youzhou and followed Chongyuan to rebel together.

In addition, 50,000 horses stationed in Fanyang, Yizhou, Shunzhou, Jizhou and other places also followed Chongyuan. The number of men in his hands increased to 80,000 at once.

Chongyuan was suddenly full of confidence, and all these years of hard work were not in vain.

He immediately issued an edict and ordered Xiao Hujian to lead 30,000 people to enter Xijing Road, and before attacking Xijing, he sent a letter to his henchman Yeluren who stayed in Xijing Road, hoping that he would respond, and together with Xiao Hujian, he would mobilize a large army and capture Shangjing Road.

As for Chongyuan, he, together with his son Nerugu, led 50,000 horses and attacked the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing.

At this time, on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Huiqing came to Youzhou, and Chongyuan met him.

Lu Huiqing was gentle and elegant, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang...... Uh, no, it's Your Majesty! The foreign minister greets His Majesty. ”

Chongyuan snorted, "Excuse me, Mr. Lu is here, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, you sent a letter to my Majesty the other time, and Your Majesty decided to lend some gunpowder to Your Majesty after weighing.

Yelu Chongyuan smiled lightly, "What about the grain?" What about military salaries? Just a little gunpowder? ”

When Lu Huiqing heard this, she smiled without embarrassment, "Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty also has difficulties, and I shouldn't have been involved in the civil strife in your country, but for the sake of my friends, I didn't hesitate to offend that ...... Your request is a bit too ......"

"Passed?"

Chongyuan suddenly burst out laughing, very rampant, "What's the past?" After I raised my army, all parties responded, and in a few days, I would be able to destroy Yelu Hongji'er and become the real master of Da Liao! If you don't pay now, then I will be able to take it for myself!" ”

When Lu Huiqing heard this, her face sank.

He sneered, "Your Majesty, are you so sure that you will win?" ”

Chongyuan laughed even more wildly, "Mr. Lu, you might as well be in my military camp and see with your own eyes how amazing my military might is!" ”

After saying that, this guy laughed wildly again, arrogant and domineering, it was beyond imagination, and it was really as if the overall situation was in his hands.

He even told Lu Huiqing that Yelu Hongji was incompetent, and he even agreed to give the Great Song Dynasty New Year's coin, which was not worthy of being the emperor of Liao, and after he ascended the throne, he would consider canceling the New Year's coin.

Lu Huiqing was really angry, "Your Majesty, if you do this, aren't you afraid that my Great Song Dynasty will send troops to help your country quell the rebellion?" ”

After hearing this, Chongyuan suddenly laughed, "Mr. Lu, you are a talent, I appreciate you very much, otherwise, with this sentence, I can cut off your head!" Of course, I won't kill you, but I tell you, it's too late, it's too late, since I dare to launch it, I am completely sure that Yelu Hongji'er will definitely die! He can't run! ”

……

Wang Ning'an looked at the Baigou River in the distance, and in another month, it would freeze, and then the hard river surface would be a flat river, and Wang Jiajun could easily step across the Baigou River.

And on the opposite side is the sixteen states of Yanyun that countless people have been thinking about, the distance is so close, and it is so far away!

"Sir, Jifu has a letter." Zhang Dun sent a letter to Wang Ning'an.

Hurriedly dismantled it, and after only half of it, Wang Ningan's face changed, Yelu Chongyuan actually divided his troops, what was he in his head? Obviously, there are not enough people and horses, and the soldiers are divided into two ways, is he afraid that his death will not be ugly enough?

Seeing his arrogant attitude towards the Great Song Dynasty again, Wang Ningan was completely furious.

"Villain, villain! Yelu Chongyuan, you are a villain through and through! Wang Ningan said angrily: "I want to see how he died!" ”
