Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 503

In the spring of the second year, that is, the sixth year that Chailin traveled, AD [-].

Just after the sixth day of the lunar new year, Chai Lin held a grand spring plowing ceremony outside the city of Cangzhou.

Chai Lin is holding the Quyuan plow, and the two mules with big red flowers on both ends are ready.

"Drive." Chai Lin slammed his whip, and the two healthy mules walked quickly, plowing the land very well, turning up the fertile soil.

Everyone applauded. Chai Lin's farming technology is not good, but it shows the emphasis on farming.

Fifty groups of large mules selected by the logistics team behind also began to plow the land.

The people in Cangzhou watched the excitement and went home to cultivate their own fields.

Now in the whole of Cangzhou, there is almost no manpower to plow the land. Yishui's donkeys, mules, cattle, horses, and a small number of camels can actually plow the land.

The culture of the Central Plains is not just farming culture, it includes agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fish.Almost every item has a large proportion.

For example, in terms of training animals, farmers can train large animals to work like one person. When plowing the land, the animals are completely automatic and operate according to the password.

With the increase of livestock, there are very few pedestrians walking on the road now. The young and strong ride mules and horses, and the young daughters-in-law and big girls ride donkeys.

The old man drove the donkey cart.

Cangzhou's economic development is beyond imagination. Many wealthy families even have two or three horses at home.

Even the Guangxi pony, which is specially used by the elderly and infirm, has developed rapidly, and a carriage specially made for the pony horse.

Compared with Cangzhou, which is in full swing, Youzhou is still lifeless.

The spring in Youzhou was still cold. Li Cheng entered the Chinese army cursing, threw off his wolf fur coat, and warmed himself on the fire.

"The weather is really cold. It's already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Daming Mansion has started spring plowing, and the land here is still frozen." Li Cheng scolded.

Wen Da said: "Master Liang went back to enjoy himself, let us suffer here."

The situation in the Youzhou military camp is still very good. There is sufficient food and firewood. Although the spring is cold, it is not serious.

It was even worse for Yang Zhi and others stationed in Shunzhou, a hundred miles away from Youzhou.

Yang Zhi, Suo Chao's vanguard and generals Li Cheng and Wen Da had many quarrels because of military merits.

When Liang Zhongshu was around, Li Cheng didn't dare to make any moves.But years ago, Liang Zhongshu went back to Daming Mansion to raise soldiers under the pretext of being ill.Li Chengwenda was left to station in Youzhou, and Yang Zhisuochao was stationed in Shunzhou not far away.

The [-] Zhending government troops stationed in Zhuozhou, and the Daming government troops complement each other, and it is roughly regarded as the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

In fact, due to insufficient military strength and financial resources, some states and cities on the east side of the sea were not stationed.

Wen Da said: "General Li, Yang Zhi sent someone to urge food again, saying that they only have three days' food in the army."

"Let's postpone the payment for a few days. This boy Yang Zhi is relying on his superb martial arts skills, and he is also the queen, so he doesn't pay attention to us. This time, we must let them know that the mother-in-law is the mother."

The lieutenant sent by Yang Zhi came back disheveled, without a grain of food.

Suo Chao picked up the big axe and cursed, "I'll chop him up, he's a bully."

"If you dare to go, it's in your favor. There are many wildernesses around, and there are more herds of yellow sheep and wild deer at this time. If I take people out for a walk, a hundred or eighty of them can last for a few days."

"Well, that's the only way to go. There's no food, let's eat meat."

Yang Zhi led a hundred light cavalry out of the Shunzhou military camp with bows and arrows, and came to the wilderness in the north.I was lucky today, and I encountered a large group of gazelles in a short while.

There are at least one hundred fifty or sixty yellow sheep in this group, and each one is fat and strong.

Yang Zhi made a gesture, and a hundred cavalrymen were divided into two teams, passing through from both sides.

Covered by feather arrows, the second half of the flock was immediately left behind, and the effect of the team hunting was great.

The army was in high spirits, and they hunted dozens of gazelles in a short period of time. How could two thousand men last for a day.

The original 3000-strong light cavalry was severely reduced after several battles, and now there are only about [-] people.

Everyone was tying the yellow sheep, and the scouts on patrol suddenly blew their horns.

A cavalry rushed over and shouted: "It's not good, the golden soldiers are here, covering the sky and covering the earth."

"Go back to the city immediately and stick to Shunzhou."

After several wars, the so-called Shunzhou is a small military fortress.There are not many residents and merchants at all, and it is a small town.

Yang Zhi hurried back while ordering someone to blow the horn.

"Quick, quick." Suo Chao shouted from the top of the wall.

Yang Zhi and others did not dare to slack off, the horses ran fast, and when the last soldier entered the city, the heavy gate was closed.

As soon as a hundred people entered the city, the overwhelming golden soldiers came.

What kind of soldiers is this? The clothes are messy, some wear wolf fur, some wear sheepskin, and some have their arms exposed in the cold weather.

Yishui is riding a tall horse. This is the newly expanded cavalry of the Jin Kingdom after it acquired the Liao Kingdom's horse farm. It is very messy, but its combat effectiveness is very strong.Because this is a group of wolf soldiers from the Golden Kingdom, and they will grab whatever they see, and they will be afraid of poverty.

The beacon fire in the city has been lit, and the thick black smoke sends a warning signal to the surroundings.

Yang Zhi said, "I hope Li Cheng can see it."

Suo Chao smiled and said, "You still expect this idiot to come to the rescue? He was scared out of his wits long ago. It's a pity that Mr. Liang is not here. If Mr. Liang is here, he can take charge of the overall situation."

"Don't think about it so much. You can't wait to see what's in front of you. Pass the order, and the Huotou army will kill sheep and eat meat. Call up [-] cavalry and go out with me to fight."

Yang Zhi and Suo Chao immediately mobilized [-] cavalrymen and rushed out of the door. The two armies spread out, and the Jin soldiers facing each other were somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, these Song troops would dare to come out to fight in the field.

When a commander of the imperial army came out first, he was a savage, sloppy, wearing a sheepskin robe that seemed to have not been washed for several years, riding a fancy horse, holding a mace with animal bones in his hand, There bared his teeth and screamed.

Just as Yang Zhi wanted to go out, Suo Chao, who was next to him, galloped out, and a Xuanhua ax went straight to the savage's head.

Suo Chao used [-]% of his strength to cut off the commander's animal-bone mace with one axe, and then knocked the general under his horse with an axe.

"Okay, okay." The three armies shouted, and Suo Chao was very powerful.

In fact, it was mainly because the commander-in-chief of the golden man was careless. I didn't expect Suo Chao to be so fierce.

Suo Chao was victorious and returned immediately.

Next, the golden general is interesting. He is wearing a battle robe embroidered with hundreds of flowers, with a fox tail on his shoulders. It looks like he is a nobleman of the Kingdom of Jin in this attire.

"Tai, dog thief, how dare you invade the border of our Great Song Dynasty without authorization, retreat as soon as possible."

The golden general smiled and said, "How did you get the country of the Song Dynasty? It was obtained by bullying orphans and widowed mothers. There is no master in the world, and the virtuous live in it."

　It was late, and it was ten o'clock when I got home.
