Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 404 Turning the war into jade
Xing Dujian said: "Everyone must stick to their own position. Are the Cangzhou Army generals just talking about it?"

Bian Xiang waved the big ax in his hand and said, "Why don't we do two tricks."

"It's been windy and cold these few days, so it's inconvenient to do it." Xing Dujian said.

Bian Xiang said: "Let your army take a look at our army's strength. If it feels good, we will turn hostility into friendship."

Bian Xiang beckoned and ordered his subordinates to set up a thousand plank figures more than a hundred meters away. These are usually used for shooting practice on weekdays.

The five general cannons in Bian Xiang's army were dispatched by the artillery battalion to blast the city gates, and the fifty crouching tiger cannons were from the mountain battalion.

With a wave of Bian Xiang's flag, fifty Crouching Tiger cannons aimed at the plank man [-] meters away.

Bian Xiang said: "Brothers of the Dezhou Army, those thousand wooden men pretended to be you. Let's see how many can be destroyed by this round of artillery?"

Xing Dujian was very proud, and said: "It's good, it's good, it doesn't hurt peace, and it can also see the strength of the Cangzhou Army."

"Okay, let's all stare at it."

Following Bian Xiang's order to wave the flag.

Boom boom boom.

Fifty cannons were fired in unison, shaking everyone's hearts.

Smoke billows.

Not far away, more than a thousand wooden boards fell down at least seven or eight hundred as if blown by the wind.

Xing Dujian said: "Brothers, I have seen it. It's not that we didn't pay attention. It's just that we can't beat him. He is a fellow in the village, and Chai Zhuangzhu is not an outsider. We won't suffer if we follow him, and we won't be wronged."

The soldier said: "Okay, we all listen to the prison."

Bian Xiang said: "Xing Dujian understands righteousness and is really a role model for soldiers. Arrange soldiers to come down to the tower, and let's join forces."

The next operation went very smoothly, and the Dezhou Xiang army cooperated quite well, and there was almost no trouble.

Individuals who are unwilling to go home and resign on their own.

The reason why it went so smoothly is mainly because Cangzhou is very close to Dezhou.

Chaijiazhuang's caravan travels constantly to and from Texas, and the soap and hand-pressed wells used by the Texas military are all produced in Chaijiazhuang.

The army was stationed in the camp, and the archers went up to the city to control the four gates.

4000 gunfire soldiers and sword and shield soldiers reorganized the Texas Army.

The military uniforms are similar, but the flags are changed first.

More than 2000 people gathered on the school grounds. It was so cold that people stomped their feet.

Wearing a cotton coat, Bian Xiang asked, "Are you cold? Are the quilts you cover at night warm?"

"It's cold, it's freezing to death. The bed is cold at night." Everyone said in a hurry.

"It's winter, how can it not be cold?"

Bian Xiang patted the military coat on his body and said, "This is made of cotton. It's warm and soft. You still sweat in winter. It's too warm. Who wants to raise your hand?"

"I want it," said a soldier, raising his hand.

Bian Xiang beckoned and asked someone to deliver a military coat to the soldier. The soldier felt warm immediately after putting it on. The soldier was short and the coat reached his ankles.

"We want it too, we want it too." All the soldiers said one after another.

Xing Dujian asked, "General Bian, what do you mean?"

"Using cotton coats and changing everyone's armor, it is inevitable that some of the recruits will not sincerely seek refuge, so as not to be in danger. I don't want any conflicts." Bian Xiang said.

Xing Dujian said: "Don't wear the cold leather armor inside, it's in the way. Everyone changes into cotton coats. This cotton coat costs five or six hundred cash. Line up and come and get it one by one."

"Yes."

After a while, everyone received their cotton coats, and it was no longer so cold, and the weapons and armor were gone.

The adaptation of the Texas Army has officially started, and the atmosphere has been very peaceful.

Every time Bian Xiang made a suggestion, someone in the army responded.

After receiving one tael of silver per person and sending it down, the Dezhou Army will be their own.

The deputy general was a little puzzled, and said: "Battle Commander, why did Mr. Chai ask us to give out money? What a waste."

Bian Xiang smiled and said, "You, of course you can't compare with Mr. Chai from the standpoint. These soldiers are all from my own family, the old folks nearby. They were all killed. What else is there for other than to appear cruel? In addition, what do you want? You know, once the cannon is fired, the gold is ten thousand taels, and the money spent in the fight, such as luggage and wounded pensions, is more than this small amount of money."

Nearby nodded and said, "I understand."

Bian Xiang smiled and said, "What do you understand, but you don't understand anything. Send an urgent six hundred miles to the headquarters and report the situation."

The information was sent back to Cangzhou, passed through the post station, and arrived that night.

At the headquarters, Wu Yong was dispatched in the center. He received urgent information and replaced the flag of Texas with Cangzhou's on the sand table.

"How is the progress of the other armies? Are there any abnormal reports?" Wu Yong asked.

Those confidential secretaries shook their heads and said: "There is no abnormal report, Dezhou is the closest, so the first report received, I think Jeju Prefecture has already been taken by now."

"Okay, pay close attention to the movements of the troops, and report immediately if there is any abnormality." Wu Yong said.

In fact, there is really no problem. Chai Lin and Wu Yong have planned and arranged for this war for three years.

The Four Seas Motor Company has already figured out the roads of the state capitals. These coachmen usually do not just drive cars. They have already drawn maps and street scenes. There are grain warehouses built in various places, and thousands of troops used to not have to carry luggage.

It was completely a home game, and there were internal support in all the capitals of the states, so it looked very easy on the surface, but in fact it took several years to prepare for this war.

The only problem is Qingzhou.

Chai Lin, Lin Chong, Gongsun Sheng, Xiao Rang and others.

Leading an army of [-], they took the [-] Galen ships of the second fleet to the port established by the Cangzhou Thirteen Lines on the coast of Qingzhou. This is a deep-water port.From Cangzhou Dinghai Port to Qingzhou Port, the distance is only five hundred miles, and it will take half a day.

The Qingzhou Army didn't react at all, and 8000 troops had successfully landed on the coast of Qingzhou.

After traveling only ten miles, the sun was slightly westward, and the army arrived at the camp built by two thousand people in Taohua Mountain. Chai Lin ordered: "Enter the camp, rest, and go to attack the city tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

When the army entered the camp, the young general Niu Gao led five hundred light cavalry to search the surrounding dozens of miles.

In the camp of the Chinese army, Xiao Rang said: "My lord, isn't our theme a blitzkrieg? Why don't you hurry up and march, and you can go to Binglin city tomorrow morning."

Chai Lin pointed to Qingzhou City and said: "Qingzhou is the largest state capital on the entire Jingdong Road. One prefecture governs three counties, but the population is nearly 300 million. The top of one prefecture has three or four prefectures in other places. The prefect Murong said he The pigs insulted the pigs. In Qingzhou, there is no one to toss around. The people fled to their deaths, suffering unspeakably. In order to consolidate the rule, the prefect of Murong has continued to expand its troops in recent years, from the initial 6000 to the present. With 2 people, Qingzhou is a big city with tall walls and strong defenses, if you attack by force, the damage to the city will be too great."

Xiao Rang said with a smile: "That's why my lord deliberately slowed down the marching speed. The old thief Murong will definitely send people to fight when he hears the news. At this time, we can eat some of them, and it will be relatively easy to attack the city."
