Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 518 Fighting Big Shovel

Fighting wars is all about making money. Just transporting these things over here will cost countless money and food.

If the steam tractor developed by Tiangong No. [-] Battalion hadn't officially hit the road, Chailin would have been transported to death.

The steam tractor locomotive is very large, weighing one and a half tons.Pull two buckets, each bucket can carry five tons.

A car is 100 catties, and a fleet of 200 cars is exactly [-] million catties.

When a steam tractor emitting black smoke appeared on the road outside Weizhou City, the passing villagers were stunned.

It is a miracle that a cart can run without horses.

Some people brought incense back home, burned it and kowtowed on the side of the road.

There are also brave children who bring good hay and put it on the head of the tractor.

It's a pity that the car was not moved at all, and the driver couldn't bear to hurt the child's young heart.

He took the hay and threw it into the boiler.

"Its mouth is here, and it prefers to eat wood, especially dry wood."

Pang Wanchun led his army to attack northward from Liangzhou Mansion. Chai Lin gathered three thousand cavalry from Lu Fang from Haoshuichuan, and rushed to Xiping Mansion from the east.

Zhongping, as a guide, assisted Tao Zongwang's [-] troops to build roads ahead. The soldiers rushed all the way to Xiping Mansion in an unstoppable momentum.

Zhong Ping reminded: "There will be Xiping Mansion in another 150 miles, and Xixia people should be anxious."

Tao Zongwang said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Zhong. Although we are an engineering corps, we are all veterans who have fought many vicious battles. From today onwards, I will arrange [-] elite soldiers to prepare for battle and not build roads."

Tao Zongwang mobilized [-] infantry to prepare steel arm crossbows and rest at the front. Zhongping led [-] light cavalry as sentries and patrolled around.

At noon, the Xixia soldiers came, and the surrounding sentries retreated to the team.

Zhong Ping came to report: "General Tao, about 1 Xixia soldiers have arrived."

Tao Zongwang set up an awning and looked towards the northwest direction. The Xixia soldiers were in a mess, including cavalry and infantry, and they rushed over.

"Soldiers on combat readiness to meet the enemy, while others continue to build roads, don't delay the construction period."

The sweaty horses sitting around Tao Zongwang, holding a shovel made of fine steel in their hands, led the army to meet the enemy.

Tao Zong's sweat horse is not a purebred, but a sweat horse born from a male sweat horse and a Xixia horse. Even so, it is a first-class horse.

Zhong Ping didn't understand Tao Zongwang's position in the Cangzhou Army, and thought he was a general who built roads. It was a pity that he lost a BMW for nothing.

Tao Zongwang stood in front of the formation holding a big shovel, which was given to him by Chai Lin back then, but it was actually a weapon, weighing dozens of catties.

The Xixia soldiers arrived, and the Xiping Mansion army who came, the guard Li Gu, was a tough guy in his early thirties.

Originally, according to the original plan, Li Gu should stick to Xiping City. Unfortunately, the Xixia people have never had the habit of defending the city for more than a hundred years.

"Hahaha, what an army of [-] is nothing more than native chickens, dogs, and farmers building roads." Li Gu laughed heartily on his horse.

Tao Zongwang didn't talk too much harshly, so he stepped forward and made a hook.

Immediately, a Xixia lieutenant general swung his sword to fight.

Seeing that Tao Zongwang blocked and slapped, Lieutenant General Xixia was slapped to death on the ground like a fly.

Here comes another general with a spear like a dragon.

Tao Zongwang summoned up all his strength, and with a shovel he slapped the big gun flying, and with another shovel, the head of the enemy general was gone.

Zhong Ping was dumbfounded, and the Cangzhou Army was too surprising, to use such a strong general to lead a team to build roads.

In fact, Tao Zongwang was born in a farming family, and has been working in the engineering team since then. Although he is very powerful, his favorite thing is to build bridges, roads and houses, and fighting can only be said to be an amateur.

Li Gu saw that the Song army was too fierce, so he couldn't fight alone, so he charged together.

Ten thousand against ten thousand, how can it be a tie.

Tao Zongwang returned to the formation and shouted: "Get ready."

When the Xixia soldiers entered within 100 meters, they suddenly swung their arms down.

"put."

Bang, a cloud of black mist rose into the sky, and tens of thousands of crossbow arrows rose into the sky.

The crossbowmen didn't look at the results of the battle, but pulled the crossbow machine again to rewind. It turned out that there was an arrow box on the crossbow arrow, which automatically dropped the arrow, and the crossbow arrow shot past with a whizz.

Small crossbow arrows are not big, only chopsticks long, can't break through heavy armor, and are designed to deal with lightly armored enemy soldiers.

Today's Xixia soldiers are already struggling. Where there is iron armor, most of the soldiers are leather armor. More than 1000 fell in the first round under crossbow arrows, and more than 1000 fell in the second round.

A crossbow bolt was also nailed to Li Gu's shoulder. Looking at the team of more than 1 people, there were less than [-] left, and he was about to rush up.

The engineering soldiers hung and shot again, took the small melon with the crossbow, and threw it forward.

Boom, boom, loud noises, the Xixia soldiers were defeated and ran back.

50.00% killed, collapsed.

"Brothers, it is said that we engineers can't fight, and men will fight with me."

If the distance is far away, shoot with a crossbow, and if the distance is close, start changing guys.

Most of the army used wild boar spears and shovels, and the team chasing the Xixia people went up.

Shovel shovel, wild boar spear stab.

He fought fiercely all the way, attacking more than ten miles.Only a thousand cavalry from the Xixia were able to retreat.

Zhong Ping followed suit, and this battle was fought with great joy, almost wiped out all the Xixia soldiers, until the sun was westward, and then the team was gathered.

Annihilated 600 Xixia soldiers, killed more than 800, and injured more than 500.

Tao Zongwang patted his forehead: "It's over, it's over. There are so many casualties, I have to be trained."

"But annihilated more than 8000 Xixia soldiers."

"Hey, the two thousand people who were killed in battle plus the injured is quite a lot. If there are so many people missing, the construction period will be delayed, and the road that is difficult to repair will suffer a lot."

Tao Zongwang immediately arranged to rescue the wounded and prepare for the battlefield.

The slightly wounded who did not affect the action were all accompanied by the army, and the seriously injured returned to Weizhou to recuperate in a large carriage.

Do things in an orderly manner without any chaos.This is not the performance that a second-tier team should have, not losing to the first-line team at all.

Although the casualties are a bit heavy, there must be rewards.

Record the credit first in the credit book, and there will be a lot of rewards after finishing the game.

In order to prevent the engineering soldiers from encountering the golden soldiers again, the engineering soldiers waited in place. Two days later, Chai Lin led the army up.The elite army is in the front, and there are more than 9 engineers behind.

No more soldiers from Xiping Mansion came out to attack. When the army arrived at Xiping Mansion, they found that the gate of Xiping Mansion was wide open, and the city was empty without a single defender.

Only some old, weak, sick and disabled people did not retreat.

The vanguard army searched inside and outside the city several times to make sure there was no ambush before entering the city.The empty city plan is quite scary, even if the city gate is open, I dare not enter rashly.

After careful questioning, it turned out that Xixia soldiers packed up the remnants and returned to Xingqing Mansion to deploy defenses, because Xiping Mansion could not be defended anymore.

Master Zhong was very happy, he didn't expect this to happen, Xixia who had been fighting for decades was actually a paper tiger.
