Chapter 504 I used to be a man anyway (second update)

Chapter 503

"Didn't you listen to Master Zhang's analysis? This time, Xixia dispatched an army of 20 to destroy Suide City and kidnap more than [-] of our border residents."

"Having tasted such a great sweetness, that Empress Xiaoliang came here even more enthusiastically. She originally wanted to attack Yan'an Mansion directly, but after Yanchuan was blocked, she heard that Huanqing Road had gathered an army and was planning to go straight into the Xia territory..."

"However, after offending that Xiaoliang, she saw the advantage. Instead of taking advantage of the slightest advantage, she even got a blow in the head in Yanchuan. This will have a big impact on her reputation. If she really wants to If you just give up so easily, then you don't want to imitate her aunt's Xiaoliang Empress."

"Master Wang, what you mean is that Empress Xiaoliang will definitely take action. I heard that when they attacked the Suide Army before, Xixia mobilized an army of 20, and now, Empress Xiaoliang personally led an army of [-] to come to the rescue... "

"That is to say, we need to deal with a full 30 troops?" Eunuch Ma Shang couldn't help taking a breath, he still has a good life to enjoy, but don't be completely in the army at a young age. The border is cold.

"It is said to be a 30 army, but in fact there are a lot of miscellaneous soldiers. The direct elites are probably only a hundred thousand. I said, Mr. Ma, do you need to be so afraid? Your little face is so pale."

"Duke Zhuangyuan, look clearly, I'm drinking..." Ma Shang stared at Wang Yang with a black face, and said in an extremely depressed mood. Even if his penis was gone, he was once a man.

Being able to be appointed by the emperor as an eunuch to supervise the army is enough to prove that he still has a very strong heart.Hmm... It was a long time ago when Wang Yang beat General Manager Xu so violently that he fainted from fear. At least Eunuch Ma Shang felt that he must have fainted due to hypoglycemia because he had not eaten breakfast.

"Well, let's just pretend that you are drinking. After all, those Xixia barbarians are good at attacking but not good at defending, and they are not good at attacking cities. Over the years, my Great Song has used the strategy of building more fortresses and taking every step at a time. I was forced to back down again and again.”

"Attack a Suide army with a total strength of less than 20 people, and Suide City itself is not a strong fortress. They have used [-] soldiers and horses, and Huanzhou and Qingzhou are places where I have experienced a hundred years in the Song Dynasty. If the pool is deep, they can only take it down."

Hearing Wang Yang's words, whether it was Ma Shang, Eunuch Ma, or those Ban Zhi and Chang Sui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, among these people, Wang Yang's reputation, coupled with his past There is no reason why these people don't believe Wang Yang's explanation.

What's more, these are indeed facts, and after Wang Yang sucked out the bone marrow in the sheep's bone, he smashed his mouth with pleasure. "I hope those Xixia barbarians will come over quickly and have a good fight with us, so that I can see the scenes of ancient battles..."

"That's right, I've grown up, and I've never seen a fight with more than 200 people." Ling Zong, a gangster from the mixed society, was also fascinated.

#####
After resting for a night in Qingzhou, the next day, the army set off again to Huanzhou. Among the thousand craftsmen under Wang Yang's jurisdiction, Wang Yang transferred [-] to follow Zhongyan to Yan'an Prefecture. Besides, they also contributed one hundred trucks of cement.

Although there are not many of them, at least they are used to repair the dangerous positions of the fortresses that have been breached. It is indeed much more convenient than the glutinous rice juice that needs to be boiled on the spot.

When he was in Bianliang, Tokyo, the emperor had discussed with Wang Yang whether to build a cement workshop in northern Shaanxi, but the final conclusion was that Shaanxi Road North Road was in war, and Xixia Xizuo haunted here all the year round.If a cement workshop is built here, this building material is likely to be detected by Xixia.

It is very likely that this architectural artifact invented by the Song Dynasty will be used by the Xixia barbarians who are not good at building cities to build cities. At that time, it will greatly increase the difficulty of the Song Dynasty's conquest of Xixia.

Therefore, it was just decided to follow the proposal of the former Ministry of Industry Ning Shangshu, and only build cement workshops in Jingzhao Mansion, that is, Chang'an, and Luoyang, Xijing.

Of the more than 750 vehicles Wang Yang obtained, a total of 350 vehicles were loaded with cement, and another [-] vehicles were equipped with mild steel crossbow arms. The others were loaded with repair and maintenance tools for craftsmen.

A total of [-] soft steel crossbow arms were installed in two hundred carts, which were intended to be used to replace the arms of the god arm crossbows that were damaged due to frequent use on the Shaanxi Road.

Shaanxi Road has been fighting against the barbarians of Xixia who are jumping up and down all the year round. Over the years, there has been almost no cessation. There are a large number of god-arm crossbows with damaged crossbow arms, waiting to be replaced.

Five hundred craftsmen were left here to replace the crossbow arms with those craftsmen from the Gyeongju Crossbow Works, and the other two hundred craftsmen would go to Huanzhou with the army.

Not far from Gyeongju, a group of troops galloped over there, and arrived at the rear army where Wang Yang was.

Hearing that Zhe Keshi came looking for him, Wang Yang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but he rode his horse to meet him.

"Zhe has seen Wang Jianjun..." Seeing Wang Yang riding his horse, Zhe Keshi, who had reined in his horse by the side of the road, jumped off his horse to meet him and saluted.

"Don't dare to be the general. Zhe general doesn't have to be like this. I don't know why Zhe general came to find Wang?" Wang Yang asked after quickly getting off his horse and saluting.He also noticed that Zhe Keshi and the few frontier generals around him had all changed into the new Song Yuan Youjia.

"Zhe just learned today that this light and strong Yuanyou Armor was made by Your Excellency. Even the Yuanyou Crossbows held by the soldiers were also made by Your Excellency."

"Being able to obtain such solid armor is equivalent to saving an extra life for those of us in the army, and this kind of binoculars can even enable my Song frontier army to detect the existence of the opponent before the enemy. So I am here to wait for you, Mr. Wang, hoping 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 feel that there is something that needs to be improved in this Dayuan Youjia, you must tell Wang."

The two sides simply rode together, and Wang Yang also asked Zhe Keshi, a young and vigorous general, about Xixia, and he also asked about the Shaanxi frontier village.

Zhe Keshi knows everything and says everything.Wang Yang actually heard a lot of things. Among the armies of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Army is the most powerful. The Western Army is the frontier army on Shaanxi Road, followed by the frontier army guarding the border between Song and Liao. .

Although the Song Dynasty stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in Bianliang, Tokyo, due to the lack of battle formation for a long time, even if they are well-trained and well-equipped, but when they really go to the battlefield, it is thankful that they can have half the combat power of the frontier army.
