Chapter 12 Refined Iron Ore, Heavy Armored Soldiers
Just after the fight, Cheng Bao arrived with his men. With the addition of the four hundred divine fire troops, the black armored army finally began to collapse. Even though their equipment was better, they could not withstand the large number of people and soon fell into defeat.
"Who are you?" The ninth-grade black armor looked shocked and angry. He fought for a long time. He still didn't know who his opponent was. This was the most disturbing thing.
Xu Chu didn't say anything, he just attacked wildly with the knotweed knife. In a short time, his opponent was almost unable to hold on.
"Do you know that behind us is Master Mu Qingniu Mu, the governor of Taizhou, and you thieves..."
"Your mother, my master is the King of Chu, and the prefect is nothing!" Xu Chu was extremely irritated. This man just fights when he fights. Why is he talking so much nonsense?
King of Chu???
The ninth-grade black armor was stunned. He never expected that the other party turned out to be a member of the King of Chu, that stupid prince?
He was originally defeated by Xu Chu, but he was just struggling to hold on. Now he was stunned in the battle and Xu Chu caught the opportunity. He slashed horizontally with the knotweed knife in his hand and directly chopped off the opponent's head.
As the ninth-grade black armor was beheaded, the battle was basically over. Si Xuchu rushed and killed the black-armored army in an instant. In addition, the ninth-grade black armor was killed, and the battle ended quickly without a leader.
fighting.
Half an hour later, Song An rushed to the mine under the escort of twenty divine fire troops. Although the surrounding area had been cleaned up long ago, the strong smell of blood still made Song An want to vomit. It is conceivable that the previous battle would end
How bloody.
"Wei Dingguo, what's the loss?" Song An is most concerned about his own losses. Once the losses are too big, it will be difficult to handle.
There are only so many people in Tai'an County, but there is no place for him to waste his money.
"Back to my lord, forty-two people were killed in this battle, eighty-seven were slightly or seriously injured, more than two hundred enemies were killed, and more than fifty enemies were captured alive!" Wei Dingguo's face was full of excitement. This battle was unexpected and he fired.
With a record of nearly 4 to 6, it was simply a huge victory.
Moreover, more than 40 people died in the battle because their equipment was so poor, otherwise this number could be reduced.
Song An breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that only more than forty people had been killed in the battle. Fortunately, it was still within the acceptable range.
"The dead in this war will be buried generously, the pension will be doubled, and the family will have no worries in this life!" Song An shouted. In the first battle, the Divine Fire Army showed momentum, and with the equipment seized this time, the strength of the Divine Fire Army is still there.
Will improve again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"
Everyone in the Divine Fire Army was immediately excited when they heard Song An's reward. They were given fertile land, generous pensions, and their families would not have to worry about dying in battle. They felt excited to serve such a master. Moreover, the King of Chu also said that this was only their first battle.
!!!
In the future, they will only get better and better.
After a little encouragement to appease everyone, Song An was called aside by Wei Dingguo, his face full of excitement.
"Lord, we've made it this time!"
"This is a fine iron mine. The black armor weapons were made from the fine iron in it. Now that it is in our hands, we can definitely create an elite among the elite!"
Even Song An couldn't help but feel ecstatic when he heard that the mine inside was a concentrated iron mine. He deeply understood what a concentrated iron mine meant to him!
Not just gold and silver weapons, but an extremely powerful army.
"Come on, take me in and take a look." Song An was impatient. No wonder Mu Qingniu put so much effort into mining this mine. No one can resist this temptation!
So, he and Mu Qing Niuliangzi have a close relationship?
However, Song An doesn't care much about this. Just like Tai'an County, he will win Taizhou sooner or later. There is no difference between one day earlier and one day later.
Under the leadership of Wei Dingguo, Song An quickly came to the depths of the mine. First, there was a huge cave hall with many blast furnaces. The ore that he wanted to dig out was smelted directly here.
There are a large number of armors and weapons placed in the cave hall that have not yet been transported away. These alone are enough to equip Song An's 500 divine fire army.
In addition, there are large amounts of refined iron ore stacked neatly in piles, and in the corner stand the miners who were rescued by Xu Chu.
Further inside is the dark mine!
"Lord, there are a total of three hundred miners, countless ores, and more than seven hundred sets of armor and weapons!" Xu Chu also looked excited. There is no general who is not moved by seeing these things.
"Good job!" Song An praised him twice. He really made a lot of money this time. After briefly checking the armor and weapons, Song An came to the miners.
"You were all captured by them?" Song An couldn't help but sympathize with these miners who were in tatters and covered with mud. In troubled times, who can decide their own destiny?
"You...you are a fool..." Someone recognized Song An and said with a horrified face. Wei Dingguo shouted loudly before he could finish speaking.
"Bold, the King of Chu was just killed by a bitch. Just after he recovered, he heard that there were bandits in the north and the people were working hard, so he ordered us to come and hang the bandits. How dare you dare to humiliate the prince?"
The person who spoke just now was so frightened by Wei Dingguo's words that he fell to his knees. The others looked in disbelief. Was it Song An who saved them?
They did hear a chaotic rush and killing sound before, and then saw Xu Chu and his men killing all the guards guarding them.
"No, no, no, the little one has eyes but doesn't know the truth. He talks nonsense..."
"It's okay, I'm not one of those bandits. To be honest, can I still eat people?" Song An smiled and waved his hand. He was in a good mood today and didn't want to argue with these people.
"Xu Chu, take these people down and take good care of them, and send them all back to Tai'an County tomorrow morning!" Although Song An wanted to keep these people here and continue to mine for him, the current situation does not allow it, even if he wants to recruit them
Miners also have to start over.
"Yes!" Xu Chu nodded and began to arrange the whereabouts of these miners.
Hearing that Song An was going to let them go, a group of miners looked in disbelief. Originally, they thought they had just changed their masters. Who could resist the temptation of this concentrated iron ore?
But now Song An actually lets them go?
Some people burst into tears when they heard this and separated from their families for many days. They thought they would never see each other again!
After evacuating all the miners, Song An asked Wei Dingguo.
"Can these remaining ores be used to build three hundred heavy armors?"
Wei Dingguo was stunned. He didn't expect that Song An actually wanted to build heavy armor. In the cold weapon era, the strongest single-person combat effectiveness was naturally cavalry and heavy armor. There is no way for cavalry now, but there is indeed hope for heavy armor.
"It should be possible. Even if it's not enough, we can still mine and smelt iron ourselves!" Wei Dingguo said simply.
"Since you have enough, your next task is to refine three hundred heavy armors!" Song An's eyes flashed, and his heart became more and more uneasy. There may be constant battles in the future, and he must have enough strength.
