Pang Wanchun pointed to the Chai flag in the army and asked the old man.

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

Pang Wanchun said: "Everyone who planted our banner is under our protection. No matter what difficulties or how many enemies we have, we will come to support us. Of course, we will also send you short spears, short spears, and Pu Dao to organize the villagers to resist horse thieves and Xixia thieves."

You can also send weapons, and the Sima Captain burst into tears.

"The Xixia Kingdom has very strict controls. If the kitchen knife is broken, you have to buy it with your household registration book. Any small knife that exceeds two inches is under control. Will the general really give us the Park knife and the short spear? Are you not afraid of us doing it randomly?"

Pang Wanchun nodded: "Yes, don't be afraid of you doing things randomly. Because our interests are the same. What would happen if someone killed your closest person and you don't have weapons?"

"Of course I'll bite with my teeth and punch with my fist."

"That's it. The one who kills people is not weapons. As long as you plant the Cangzhou Army's Chai Banner, the whole village will swear to join, and immediately distribute weapons to you and distribute money and grain to resume production." Pang Wanchun said.

The Su Clan Chief was a little unbelievable and asked, "General's surname?"

"My surname is Pang, and I am in charge of the 6,000 troops of the Light Cavalry Camp. Now the people of Xixia who are fighting dare not come to Liangzhou."

"It turned out to be General Pang. I'll go back to the village to discuss and come back soon."

Chief Su was very happy and returned to the village to discuss.

After a while, he came out with more than a thousand people from the village.

The chief of the Su clan inserted the Chai flag on the wall at the entrance of the village, and then swore together to join the Cangzhou army.

Pang Wanchun said: "The males over 16 years old and under 60 years old in the village are out of the list."

The men stood up one after another, and there were quite a few people, about four hundred people.

Pang Wanchun arranged for the cavalry to take some used and eliminated old weapons and put them on the ground.

"These are all weapons that seized the Xixia people. Under the leadership of the Cangzhou Army, they can have knives, guns, spears, and Pu swords. However, the bow needs to be registered and applied for, and crossbows and iron armor are absolutely prohibited. You will choose these weapons yourself, and then you will write your name on the weapon. If you have your weapons, you will be able to kill someone, and you will have to eat them." The Lord Bo introduced.

This weapon is not so easy to use, it is indeed a responsibility.

Someone asked, "Then can I not take a weapon?"

The Lord Bo shook his head: "As long as he is, he must prepare weapons and defend against the enemy. Men without weapons are not worthy of marrying a wife because they cannot protect their daughter-in-law. Over the age of sixteen and under fifty are militias, and they are responsible for protecting the village."

Everyone has a weapon, and the temperament of the villagers like a lamb has changed in an instant.

Pang Wanchun said: "Each household comes to collect money with the household registration book, and each household, regardless of size, size, poverty, or wealth, will be 100 million yuan."

Xixia Kingdom was a small country and traded frequently with the Song Dynasty. Many of the copper coins seized from Liangzhou Prefecture were square-kong coins from the Song Dynasty.

There are not many households, only about 200 households in total.

Each household received a bunch of money, which was very happy.

"Ten days later, a large militia training will be carried out, including food and accommodation, for three days. Anyone who participates in the training will be rewarded."

After saying that, Dajun left and went to the next village.

There are quite a lot of villages near Liangzhou, mainly agriculture. Generally, it is about 100 miles away from the city, and it is all agricultural villages.

The land here is pretty good, but the precipitation is a little less, and the cultivation technology is backward, and some even use old-fashioned straight plows.

Moreover, local hoes, shovels, pickaxes and other farm tools are very simple and need to be improved urgently.

A little further away, the surrounding area of ​​Qilian Mountains is mainly animal husbandry, with many horses, cattle, sheep and camels.

These herdsmen are relatively better, but they are also hard to bear. Their tea and salt are very expensive.

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

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

Chai Lin's fallen army ambushed on both sides of the canyon for two days. On the third day, the Western Xia army finally arrived.

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

Two thousand cavalrymen at the beginning and six thousand infantry at the end.

In fact, the Western Xia marshals Ye Rita and Norixiong were unwilling to send troops to Liangzhou City again because the Western Xia army was already exhausted and needed rest in urgent need of rest. However, the Western Xia country was not a monolithic, and some veterans asked to send troops immediately. Whoever opposed it would be as timid as a mouse.

No Ribodo could say much, so they went there.

The one who led the troops was Yelu Qi, a veteran general of Xixia. Yes, this was a Khitan, and there were people from all ethnic groups in Xixia.

Yelu Qi is over fifty years old and is very stubborn. He believes that the Song people are like sheep, and the Xixia people are like wolf.

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

After five days of travel, the eight thousand troops finally arrived at the Black Valley.

Yelu Qi knew about the terrain. He took a trip back and forth with the vanguard of the vanguard, but found no problems or ambush.

Yelu Qi was relieved and led his army into the Black Valley.

It turned out that the ambush fortifications built by Chai Lin and others were hidden on the back of the valley. Yelu Qi's whistle scattered dozens of arrows on both sides, and when he saw that there was no danger, he went back to report.

The eight thousand army was very long, with five or six miles from beginning to end.

In the valley on the east side, Chai Lin did not give an order to attack for a long time.

It was not until more than a thousand cavalrymen left the canyon before ordering.

"beat."

The enemy first got off to the ground.

Boom boom boom boom.

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

The two personal barracks were condescending and the long fired guns were freely fired, which was as easy as the exercise.

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

But the six thousand infantry behind were in trouble, and there was no way to go with me. They started to fight back against the valleys on both sides with bows and arrows, but everything was futile.

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

Especially after several battles, the musketeers have undergone essential changes, calm and breathtaking accuracy.

Six thousand Xixia soldiers soon suffered more than half of their casualties and could not escape even if they wanted to.

Lu Da threw a few small melons down and exploded several Western Xia soldiers one after another.

"Brother, this is really satisfying."

"It's satisfying, but it's very dependent on logistics. We brought it all with us, and it's probably difficult to get it back in the future."

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

Another round of musket shooting, and the Xixia army system in the valley was less than a thousand people left.

"Brave the horn, beat the war drum, and put the bayonet on the whole."

Woo, woo, woo. The charge of the horn is very short.
Chapter completed!
