Hua looked coldly at the silent Ying Guo soldier under his feet.

"Do you know why your king robbed this batch of goods?"

"I don't know that the young one is just doing things on orders. I hope my uncle will be kind."

"Where did the rest of the goods go?"

"I only know that the copper tools were pulled to Yingguo's casting workshop and returned to the furnace. I don't know anything about the rest..."

When Hua heard this, his heart moved and immediately asked:

"Oh? You still have a casting workshop? When was it built? Where did the usual bronze material come from?"

"The casting workshop was built a few months ago. As for where the bronze material came from, I really don't know. Master, please spare me....

After Hua sent someone to take this Ying Guojiaowei down, he summoned Mr. Mai and asked in detail about the changes in the copper and copper equipment market in Qibashi City during the period since the Xia Kingdom suspended the sale of agricultural hunting tools. Although the caravan was robbed, although this business was suspended, Hua still asked Mr. Mai to go regularly to meet Mr. Wan to understand the situation in Qibashi City.

"Report to the master, the price of copper ware has dropped slightly during this period, but the price of copper ware has also dropped, and the amplitude is greater than that of copper ware." Mr. Mai looked at Hua in confusion as he said, and he didn't know what the master asked about these intentions.

"Haha, that's true." Hua smiled.

Through the situation provided by Mr. Mai, Hua became more confident in his guess. That is, Ying Guo discovered copper ore, so everything was explained.

The copper material used in the newly built smelting workshop was from the bronze ingots smelted from Yingguo's own copper mine, so it did not cause the price of copper material in Qibacheng. On the contrary, the price fell due to their selling of bronze ingots nearby.

In order to obtain more additional profits, the smelting workshop, which was built a lot of money a few days ago, was found that the market share was in the hands of the Xia Kingdom. If the price war was fought, it would be a loss. Therefore, it was reasonable to rob the caravans of the Xia Kingdom and terminate the bronze ware trade in the Xia Kingdom.

It is not surprising that Yingguo discovered bronze ore, and it is not surprising that more minerals will be discovered in the future, because it is the Pingdingshan area in later generations.

...

Hua guided the craftsmen to assemble a huge utensil in the workshop.

A frame made of thick wood is installed on a base with eight thick solid wood wheels. These eight wheels do not even have spokes, and are made of a whole piece of hardwood, with a copper ring on the outer layer. A huge copper hammer is hung on the thick copper shaft at the left end of the frame, which weighs as much as five thousand pounds.

The hammer handle is as thick as a bowl mouth, half long, and is made of a whole round wood. The metal hammer head is welded at one end, pulled by a rope, around the pulley at the highest point of the frame, and then wrapped around a winch on the right side of the frame. Next to this frame, there is a cover to be installed.

On the campground of the military camp, the first batch of 150 Tiger soldiers were sweating profusely and receiving guidance and training from the Dunge infantry.

Due to the rapid increase in population, Hua recruited strong people from Beicun civilians from the first two months. If the people who joined the army had land that they had cultivated, the village chief was responsible for arranging people to harvest.

Now, Hua divides the entire army into two parts, one is a systematic soldier named Qilin Guard, and the other is the newly formed Hu Ben. The commander is Yu Kuan, the husband of the female slave Qiu whom Hua saved in Nanshan County.

The two armies had a significant difference in clothing. The former was mainly white, while the latter was mainly red and ochre. The Hu Ben did not live with the Qilin Guard, but built a large camp in the basin on the banks of the Ru River.

The first batch of Tiger Armor weapons are all produced by the Dunge tribe's standards.

...

When the autumn grain was in storage, a team of more than 400 people drove out from Huayi, rode a bamboo raft, down the Ru River, and headed towards Yingguo. Before departure, Hua generated 55 Shieldge infantry and 55 horned bow archers.

Now, the troops of Faying are 50 Shige infantrymen, 100 horned bow archers, 100 long halberd warriors, and 10 bronze shield guards. The other 150 tigers and bells are all brought with them. Yi Kingdom will also send 500 militia soldiers to respond from the south and will meet with Xia Guo in the suburbs of Yingyi, the capital of Ying Kingdom.

Forty bamboo rafts were scattered and went down the Ru River. They arrived in Yingguo in one day and landed in the suburbs of Yingyi. A spy from Yingguo had already revenged Yingbo.

The drums and whistles sounded in Yingyi. People who were harvesting crops in the fields put down their farm work and ran to the gate of Yingyi's palace to take over the long ge issued by the Neighbors. Yingbo's garrison also began to prepare for the trip.

On the south bank of Rushui, the eagle flag and the dragon flag kept approaching, and finally stopped at a distance of twenty battles. Both sides began to line up their own arrays.

On the Yingfang side, there were 300 garrisons, more than 800 militias, and five chariots.

When the Xia Kingdom's army was arranged, Ying Kingdom had not yet fully arranged its formation.

"Forward" Hua ordered.

"What a rogue. Before we could arrange the formation, the two sides started attacking before they even fought each other." Ying Bo said hatefully.

One hundred long-salt warriors who were skilled in formation were in the center, followed by thirty Shieldge infantrymen who were skilled in individual combat. Finally, there were horned bow archers, and one hundred and fifty tigers mixed with twenty Shieldge infantrymen were on both wings. Hua and ten bronze shield guards held the ground and rushed towards Yingguo's army.

The arrows of the horned bow archer flew towards the Yingjun first. In the chaos, some relatively simple-equipped militia soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. The garrison raised their shields to cooperate with each other to cover each other.

The two armies were getting closer and closer, and the archers of Yingfang also began to counterattack. The five chariots had already rushed out, which seemed unstoppable. If it were other ordinary soldiers of this era, when they saw a giant like a chariot attacking them, their normal behavior should be to panic and disperse to both sides. Then the spear soldiers on the chariot waved their long spears to harvest the heads of both sides. The other party could not dodge enough, and would be brought down by the wheel hub and then crushed to death.

However, Hua's long halberd soldiers were calmly busy and poked the chariot's horse with a three-meter long halberd, or slashed the horse's legs. The horned bow archer also aimed at the horses pulling the cart with a volley.

As the horse roared, all five horses lost control, and four of them fell to the ground due to the casualties of the horses. The archer Geshou in the car fell apart one or two battles and was stabbed to death by a scattered halberd. One was far away and was frightened by a few arrows when he pulled the horse. He made a big circle and turned around and rushed to his camp, rushing to his own soldiers. The hub of the car brought down several soldiers who had no time to dodge.

The tiger of Xia Kingdom has already fought with the militia soldiers on both wings of the opponent.

The long spear hand troops do not seem to have any advantages except cheap. This long spear with a length of 1.6 meters to 1.8 meters has natural defects and can only be chopped and pulled, not stabbed, and the range of chopping is also very limited, just a narrow space of the Ghost Blade. As long as the opponent crosses the narrow range of killing, it enters the killing blind spot of Chang Ge and allows the opponent to massacre.

At this time, there is only one way to avoid massacre, which is to support each other in the neighboring comrades from the left and right to provide cover and counterattack, but this requires soldiers to cooperate quite skillfully. The Ying Guo militia obviously does not have this quality.

When the Xia Kingdom's Tiger Ben Jiashi was taught by the system's Shieldge infantry, he was repeatedly instilled with a concept. When he met the long Ge hand, he had to forget the shield on his left hand. The best defense was just to do one thing and rush up and approach him.

The disadvantage of this kind of army group led to the fact that although Yingguo militias were many, they could not get any advantage on both wings. One hundred and fifty tiger soldiers, twenty shield infantrymen, and more than 600 Yingguo militias who lived on both wings fought together, and the stalemate was still in stalemate.

However, in the formation, the 100-meter-long halberd soldiers arrayed steadily forward with the three-meter-long Rulin Battle Halberd, and the Ying Guochang Ge hands in the formation were stabbed to the ground one after another.

Some of the short-shot Shield Hands of the Yingguo came closer from the gap in the halberd forest, but were immediately intercepted by the Shield infantry or bronze shield guards who jumped out from behind the halberd soldiers. They were killed by the opponent after several rounds.

The horned archers were not idle either. They followed the halberds and kept shooting accurate cold arrows at the enemy soldiers. But the archers of Yingfang did not dare to do this. The Xia Kingdom's long halberd soldiers kept advancing forward, and it was impossible for them to shoot in front. If they ran far behind the formation to shoot, their archery skills would be difficult to ensure that they would not hurt themselves by mistake.

Because Yingguo is closer to Yiguo, Yingbo has heard of how Xia Bohua easily captured the former king of Yiguo. This time he led his troops outside the city and was forced to do so. If he just stood firm in the palace city, what should he do if the food waiting to be harvested outside the city?

But now it seems that if the Xia army's veritable tiger and wolf soldiers were exhausted in the countryside, they would end up like the previous king of Yi. At this time, Ying Bo's will began to shake.
