Yang Zhi was born in a military family, and Wu Song wanted to take the exam to teach his military talents. As for the martial arts of the general himself, Wu Song didn't pay much attention to it. After all, with the popularity of firearms, the personal courage of the general was no longer important, and Suo Chao was also next to him.

Wu Song said: "Brother Suo Chao, what method should Brother Yang take to destroy Tian Hu?"

Suo Chao said: "Suo Chao is only familiar with cavalry. I think there should be not many cavalry in Tianhu Army. As long as the two thousand cavalry led by Deputy General Yang and I in the field can take the lead and ensure that we can defeat the enemy."

After Suo Chao said that, Yang Zhi said: "It is certain that Tian Hu's army has poor combat effectiveness, but we think it is not so easy to win. Tian Hu's army has occupied dozens of county towns and seven or eight big cities. It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to continue to fight one by one. It is best to make the enemy surrender through publicity, so that the burden can be reduced."

Wu Song nodded, and according to the current information, Tian Hu's army has a very strong force, with 200,000 troops, occupied more than 50 county towns and five prefecture cities. Among them, Weisheng City and Taiyuan City are both big cities with strong city defenses. After Tian Hu took over these two cities, he obtained a large amount of supplies.

Yang Zhi suggested: "We have few troops, and we will enter a severe winter that is not suitable for combat in another month. Therefore, if we want to make contributions before the New Year, we should go straight to Taiyuan. Taking Taiyuan can also give the court an explanation, and we need to supplement the materials next."

"It's not appropriate. Taiyuan's city is strong and we lack siege equipment. Although we are anxious to make contributions, we can't mess up. In my opinion, we should first capture a small county near Taiyuan, fight a few small victories to increase morale. Secondly, we can also recruit civilians to build siege equipment." Suo Chao said.

Wu Song saw that the two people had different opinions, but they had already known how to attack Wu Song and Wu Yong. Since the invention of the steam engine, the ironworks factory in Heishishan, Qinghe County has soared and its quality has also increased a lot. The three thousand so-called baggage team led by Liu Tang and Zhang Dadan are actually 500 heavy artillery pieces, solid iron bombs, flowering bullets, and complete shotguns. Do you still need to build siege equipment? If you don’t consider the casualties of civilians, you can beat a county town in minutes.

At this time, Chao Gai came back with a team of cavalry, turned over and dismounted to greet Wu Song, and said, "General."

"Thank you for your hard work in Captain Chao, have some barbecue?" Wu Song said.

Chao Gai came over and had some barbecue with Wu Song. Yu Baosi suggested: "Su Wen Deputy General Yang is a descendant of a famous family and has extraordinary martial arts. It's too late today, so there's nothing wrong. Why not demonstrate it to let everyone open their eyes."

Yang Zhi was a little introverted, and because he killed Niu Er, he looked a little arrogant. Yang Zhi said: "What's the point of demonstrating this? The sword technique of the Sa family was passed down from his ancestors."

Suo Chao said: "Deputy General Yang, everyone is here. How can you shirk it? Let everyone see your strength."

Yang Zhi said: "It's boring to practice alone. Come up and accompany me twice."

Chao Gai said: "I have long wanted to have a conversation with Brother Yang."

Wu Song nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about common progress. But the war is about to be on the verge of attention and you must pay attention to safety and change the wooden knife."

The guards brought two wooden knives for training. The two of them took wooden knives and opened the door. In a war, Yang Zhi was a family-born sword technique and superb martial arts. Chao Gai was a mixture of sword techniques in the world. In the early years, Chao Gai had many practical battles in the world, and Chao Gai was similar to Wu Song, and he was very strong. The two of them fought very fiercely, like tigers fighting each other, and they had no choice but to win or lose after dozens of rounds.

"Okay, such a handsome sword technique." Everyone cheered.

Wu Song said: "Brothers, please stop."

The two of them lived on their own, and Yang Zhi touched his arms secretly, feeling so tired. Chao Gai was not feeling well, and Yang Zhi's sword magic was elusive.

After this battle, Yang Zhi's attitude has improved much better and he is no longer as eyelids as he looks down on the sky.

At this time, Mi Sheng, Jingxing County was in charge of the iron ore factory. The iron ore factory had more than 20,000 workers, including those who came back from Xixia and those who were recruited from all over the north. The industrial park was not very large, and it could be one and a half miles long. The four walls were also six miles together. They were all built with solid stones. The walls were not high but more than five meters high, and there was a raised arrow tower every fifty meters. It was a luxury to say that such a manpower and material project was a wall of an ordinary industrial park.

It is not the wall of an ordinary industrial park. It is a secret stronghold set up by Wu Song in Jingxing County. There is an iron product processing factory here, with more than 200 skilled blacksmiths and more than 800 apprentices. In addition to weapons, ordinary daily iron tools can be produced. There are also wooden products factories, horse-drawn carriages, water trucks, etc. There are also canned factories, specializing in the production of canned food, and the focus is a large granary hidden in the mountainous areas of Jingxing County. Relying on the rich coal resources and forestry resources in the mountainous areas of Jingxing County, this is the nail arranged by Wu Song.

After Tian Hu raised his troops, the mountainous areas of Jingxing County entered a state of alert. Fortunately, Wu Song arranged sufficient troops, with 2,500 infantrymen, Mi Sheng had extraordinary abilities to carry out iron barrels operated by Jingxing Mountains, and 20,000 strong men in each workshop also entered the military control mode. Although they still produce things, they often conduct military training. Once a battle occurs, all strong men will participate in the war.

In the evening, Mi Sheng checked his duty and returned to his room to rest. He had just slept for less than an hour and the scout came back and said, "The general's army has reached the boundary of Zhending Mansion, less than a hundred miles away from this place."

Mi Shengdao: "So fast, what order is the general?"

"The general said that the army was just passing by here, without using any supplies here, and no one was allowed to go to greet him, just pretending that nothing had happened." said the scout.

Mi Sheng took the military order and understood it when he saw that he could not use this supply station and reinforcements at this time, so it would be better not to go out.

Three days later, Wu Song led a large army through the Jingxing Mountains. The vanguard cavalry, Chao Gai, Suo Chao and Yang Zhi, and 4,000 cavalrymen arrived first. Zhu Wu and Jie Bao led 500 elite soldiers and 10,000 strong men came here. The strong men came here for the sake of war. With Chao Gai and other 4,000 strong men set up their formation to build roads. The strong men on the construction site took pickaxes to speed up the road construction. The cavalry were not idle, divided into two groups, one group to guard the construction site, and the other group to go out to fight. The small-scale Tian Hu army nearby suffered. Without the protection of the city, they only surrendered or were killed. Many people participated in the Tian Hu army, so it was not difficult to recruit surrender. However, in order to prevent and deal with the detailed work, the surrendered people were all assigned by Zhu Wu, and no one was allowed to work and repair the roads on the spot.
