Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 479 Conquering the Peripherals
Pang Wanchun pointed to the firewood flag in the army and asked the old man.

The old man said: "Of course we support the army, but our village is outside the city after all. Once the Xixia army arrives, we will become victims."

Pang Wanchun said: "Anyone who planted our flag is under our protection. No matter what difficulties, how many enemies there are, we will come to support. Of course, we will also send you short spears, short guns, and simple knives to organize the villagers to resist Horse thieves and Xixia thieves."

Weapons can also be distributed, Patriarch Su burst into tears.

"The control of the Western Xia Kingdom is very strict. If the kitchen knife is broken, you have to buy it with the household registration book. Any small knife larger than two inches is under control. Will the general really give us simple knives and short spears? Aren't you afraid that we will mess around?"

Pang Wanchun nodded: "Yes, I'm not afraid of you messing around. Because our interests are the same. If someone kills your closest relatives and you don't have a weapon, what will you do?"

"Of course I would bite it with my teeth and hit it with my fist."

"That's it. It's people who kill, not weapons. As long as you plant the firewood flag of the Cangzhou Army and the whole village swears to join, we will immediately issue weapons and money and food to resume production." Pang Wanchun said.

Patriarch Su couldn't believe it, and asked, "What's your surname, General?"

"My surname is Pang, and I am in charge of the [-] troops of the Qingqi Battalion. The Xixia people who are fighting now dare not come to Liangzhou."

"So it's General Pang. I'll go back to the village to discuss it, and I'll be right back."

Patriarch Su was very happy and went back to the village to discuss.

After a while, he came out, bringing more than a thousand people in the village with him.

Patriarch Su planted the firewood flag on the wall at the entrance of the village, and then took an oath together to join the Cangzhou Army.

Pang Wanchun said: "Men in the village over the age of 16 and under the age of 60 are listed."

The men stood up one after another, there were quite a few of them, around [-] people.

Pang Wanchun arranged for the cavalry to bring some old and obsolete weapons and put them on the ground.

"These are the weapons captured by the Xixia people. The Cangzhou Army can own knives, guns, spears, and plain knives. But bows need to be registered, and crossbows and iron armor are absolutely prohibited. You choose these weapons yourself, and then they will be on the weapons. Write down your name, take care of your own weapons, and if someone takes someone’s weapon to kill someone, you will be killed.” Zhu Bo introduced.

This weapon is not so easy to hold, it really has a responsibility.

Someone asked: "Then can I not carry a weapon?"

Master Bo shook his head: "When you are old enough, you must prepare weapons to defend against the enemy. A man without weapons is not worthy of marrying a wife, because he cannot protect his wife and children. People over the age of 16 and under 50 are militiamen, and they have the responsibility to protect the village."

With a weapon in hand, the temperament of the lamb-like villagers changed instantly.

Pang Wanchun said: "One person from each household will come to collect the money with the household registration book. Every household, regardless of size, rich or poor, will receive [-] Wen."

Xixia Kingdom is a small country, and it trades frequently with Song Dynasty.Among the copper coins seized from the Liangzhou government, many are Fangkong coins from the Song Dynasty.

There are not many households, only about [-] households in total.

Each household received a string of money, very happy.

"Ten days later, the militia will conduct a large-scale training. Food and lodging will be included for three days. Anyone who participates in the training will be rewarded."

After finishing speaking, the army left and went to the next village.

There are quite a lot of villages near Liangzhou, mainly agricultural.Generally about a hundred miles away from the city, they are all agricultural villages.

The land here is not bad, but the precipitation is a little less, and the farming technology is backward, and some even use the old-fashioned straight plow.

Moreover, the local hoes, shovels, picks and other agricultural tools are very simple and need to be improved urgently.

A little farther away, the area around Qilian Mountain is dominated by animal husbandry, with many horses, cows, sheep, and camels grazing.

These herdsmen are relatively better, but life is also difficult.Their tea and salt are very expensive.

It is also very cheap when selling livestock, so life is not easy.

To the north of Liangzhou City, there is a canyon called the Black Valley. The canyon is long and can be more than ten miles long. This is the only way from Liangzhou to the capital of Daxia.

Chai Lin's wrestling army lay in ambush on both sides of the canyon for two days. On the third day, the Xixia army finally arrived.

This attire was recruited temporarily, with messy clothes and various weapons.

The first two thousand cavalry, followed by six thousand infantry.

In fact, Xixia Marshal Ye Liboduo and Ye Lixiong were unwilling to send troops to Liangzhou City again, because the Xixia army was exhausted and needed a rest.But Xixia's country is not monolithic. Some elders demanded to send troops immediately, and whoever opposed it would be as cowardly as a mouse.

It's not easy for Nolibata to say much, so let them go.

The leader of the army is Yeluqi, a veteran of the Xixia Kingdom. It is true that this is a Khitan, and there are people from all ethnic groups in the Xixia Kingdom.

Yeluqi is over 50, and he is very stubborn. He thinks that Song people are like sheep, and Xixia people are like wolves.

No matter how many sheep there are, they have to run away when they see wolves.

Eight thousand troops marched for five days and finally arrived at the Black Valley.

Yeluqi knew that the terrain was dangerous. The vanguard cavalry scouts walked back and forth, but found nothing wrong, and there was no ambush.

Yelu felt relieved when he was surprised, and led his army into the Black Valley.

It turned out that the ambush fortification built by Chai Lin and others was hidden behind the valley. Yeluqi's sentry shot dozens of arrows towards both sides indiscriminately, and went back to report after seeing that there was no danger.

The team of eight thousand troops is very long, five or six miles from beginning to end.

In the valley on the east side, Chailin has not given the order to attack for a long time.

Waited until more than 1000 cavalry had left the canyon before ordering.

"beat."

At first tens of thousands of enemies rolled down.

Boom boom boom.

The thick smoke and fire instantly cut the canyon into several sections.

The two personal barracks are condescending, and the long-fired guns are free to shoot, which is as easy as a drill.

The light cavalry in front accelerated to pass, and two thousand light cavalry ran out, and one thousand and five out of the canyon.

But the [-] infantry behind were miserable, and they had no way to go. They began to counterattack the valleys on both sides with weapons such as bows and arrows, but everything was in vain.

When exploring the terrain, I had already considered that it was difficult for Xixia soldiers in the middle of the valley to shoot people on both sides with bows and arrows.

Especially after several battles, the gunner has undergone fundamental changes, calm and calm, and his shooting accuracy is amazing.

Six thousand Xixia soldiers, more than half of them were casualties soon, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Lu Da threw a few small melons down, blowing up several Xixia soldiers one after another.

"Brother, this is really enjoyable."

"It's fun, but it's very dependent on logistics. We brought it here, and it may be difficult to transport it in the future."

Chai Qiang next to him said, "Brother, even if we don't use firecrackers or small melons, we can still kill them with bayonets."

It was another round of gunfire, and there were less than 1000 people left in the Xixia military system in the valley.

"Blow the horns, beat the drums, and bayonet everyone."

Ohh Ohh ohh.The horn of the charge was very short.
