Chapter 23: The Wooden Horse Plan

  Set auto-update, can only use stored drafts these days...

  Zhang Shu's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know what it was specifically, he had a feeling that this time the Western Xia people were in for a disaster!

  Now the Tiandu Fort has taken shape, and a wall foundation half a person high has been built. However, Wen Fei estimated that after today, they wouldn't need to repair this Tiandu Fort anymore!

  To know that Wen Fei is really ruthless, the cargo in this box is not just a dozen or so pounds of explosives. There are also more than a dozen barrels of gasoline, all of which are tightly sealed! It can be imagined that if this car crashes into the Western Xia people's camp, what kind of scene will it be? Absolutely can send the Western Xia people to make mud planes.

  The only thing to consider is that Wen Fei is not a terrorist like La Deng, and he doesn't want to become a human bomb himself! In this way, it's a bit troublesome to drive the car into the Western Xia people's camp. After thinking about it, Wen Fei suddenly thought of the Trojan Horse plan!

  This wooden horse is not a Trojan horse program in the computer, but the city-destroying horse in Troy! Wen Fei didn't believe it, and when the time came, he abandoned the vehicle outside the Western Xia people's camp, and didn't believe that these people could bear to take him back!

  The plan was set, and Wen Fei smiled gloomily: "Let's go, we're going to deliver a gift to the Western Xia people!"

  "How did you deliver it?" Zhang Shuye asked.

  "You send a large army to escort me. When the time comes, I will leave this carriage at the gate of the Western Xia people and let them take it back!"

  Zhang Shuye almost fainted, how could someone fall for such a simple trick? But thinking carefully, it's not impossible. If he didn't know the inside story and saw this mysterious iron cart stopped outside the camp, he would probably order his soldiers to push it back in. Many times, strategies don't need to be too complicated, simplicity can achieve the goal!

  After the plan was decided, the two of them discussed the details. Then there were more than a hundred soldiers divided into two teams, pulling cargo trucks and pushing them out. This was because Wen Fei was afraid of death and refused to drive again himself. You know that inside this truck is loaded with so many explosives and gasoline, once it explodes. That would be the end of being blown to pieces!

  Just then, these things from modern sports ancient, Wen Fei both nervous, cold sweat came out of a back, afraid that they did not blow up others, but instead sent themselves on the executioner's plane.

  The ignorant are fearless. These Song soldiers naturally didn't know what kind of dangerous thing they were pushing and pulling. Smoothly and easily, they pushed the iron cart to the outside of the Western Xia people's large camp.

  The strange movement of the Song army had already been discovered by the Western Xia people. This strange behavior made them really bewildered, and they could only send out light cavalry to surround the Song army in disorder, but were repelled by a string of arrows and could not get close.

  Until the cart stopped just outside the Western Xia army's large camp, these Song soldiers suddenly shouted and left the cart behind, turning their heads to run away. And so this empty cargo cart was left standing there all alone!

  At first, the Western Xia people thought there was some trickery and sent someone to shoot a few arrows, but there was no response. On the contrary, Wen Fei broke out in a cold sweat, if they had used fire arrows, the whole cart would have blown up into the sky.

  The Western Xia people were all bewildered, seeing the iron vehicle stop at the gate of the big camp, without any movement or reaction, even when shot with arrows. To many Western Xia people who lacked understanding, this thing was regarded as a monster! Many people were frightened and fearful in their hearts. The Western Xia people believed in Buddhism, and many people knelt on the ground, murmuring Buddhist scriptures.

  The Western Xia people's large camp was naturally not as neat as the Song army, and when it came to fighting, the Great Song army might not be good. However, when it comes to setting up camps and defending cities, there is no one in the world who can surpass them. The Western Xia people couldn't even compare, let alone that they valued offense!

  This camp is naturally so-so, not even a protective wall. It's just surrounded by a fence, just to show that it's humanly possible. The tents inside are also jointly set up by several households, such as the Shibei Department, which has surrendered to them, and each household has its own camp, looking chaotic. When Ye Lixing heard the news and rushed out, he saw that the original camp was already somewhat chaotic, and now it's even more like a bustling market, with many tribal soldiers stretching their necks to look outside, and some kneeling on the ground chanting Buddha. Not at all like an army, Ye Lixing's nose is almost crooked with anger!

  The Western Xia army was a semi-regular, semi-local defense force, not a standing army. As for these surrendered tribal soldiers, they were even worse off, having been born into noble families and being arrogant, looking down on the others from the start. Now seeing this situation, he was even more enraged, shouting: "Look at your appearance, if the Song army attacks now, what will you do?"

  He scolded again, but saw that not only the foreign souls were restless, but also his own Western Xia soldiers were generally so. He finally realized something and saw a nearly two-zhang iron cart quietly parked at the gate of the large camp, just one arrow away!

  The ferocity of this iron vehicle, Wild Geese Yin Qi had witnessed it with his own eyes. On that day, he had deployed heavy troops and even sent out the famous warrior Wu Ma, who was renowned in Western Xia, but none of them could withstand the iron vehicle. Now, however, the iron vehicle stood silently before him.

  Looking closer, the exterior of this iron vehicle is indeed ferocious, with thick and heavy steel plates everywhere... No, it should be said that they are not just iron, but looking at the texture, there is a feeling that this is steel. And it's good steel material that's no worse than the famous cold-forged steel of the Western Xia people!

  The Western Xia people were renowned for their exquisite weapons and sturdy armor. Even the capital of the Song Dynasty couldn't compare, and even the generals of the Song Dynasty took pride in obtaining the Summer-heat-avoiding armor of the Western Xia people. It was because they possessed a unique technique for forging steel that Wild Horse Ridge's heart skipped a beat when he saw the steel plates welded to the outside of the vehicle.

  Only he, as a core member of the Western Xia aristocracy, would know how difficult it is to cast this steel plate. Although the quality of the Western Xia people's weapons and armor was so good that even Su Dongpo praised them as "the best in the world", this forging method is extremely complex and has a small output. Even within their own country, they cannot be widely popularized on a large scale. When he saw this iron car being so luxurious, with thick iron armor hanging everywhere, he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "This iron car must have used tens of thousands of pounds of good steel?"

  "No need, I saw that the Song people only needed thirty or forty people to push this cart. It looks like this cart is at most a few tens of thousands of catties!" A calm voice came over, and the speaker was a big fat foreign monk. His face was calm, but his eyes were flashing with an unusual light: "Last time on the battlefield, this iron cart could actually run so fast without anyone pushing it, it seems that this cart must have magical powers!"
