The Sacred Ding

Ning Chan’er glanced at Chen Hai, and said lazily to Le Yi: “What can I gain? The pictures of the war chariot, wind and flame airship, etc. are not top secret in the Tianji Academy. I made a few sets back, but can Gan Quanshan be able to make it at this time?”

When it comes to strength, it will ultimately involve the control of resources.

In the past few years, the Black Yan army has controlled the northern part of Hayang County and the entire territory of Wild Goose Sect County. After the old bureaucracy and clan system of Jiangfu County were destroyed, It also dispatched a large number of officials to restore the local government and county political system, sort out civil affairs, farming, post roads, water conservancy, and stockpiling. Although it has been effective, the previous wars have destroyed the production system in these places too seriously. , It is not 3-5 years that can be relieved.

At the time when the Black Swallow Army was in its heyday, there were as many as 3,000,000 soldiers and horses, and huge amounts of unimaginable resources had to be extracted from Wild Goose Sect, Heyang and other counties to maintain such a huge weaponry.

In the beginning, the clansmen of Wild Goose Sect, Hayang and other counties moved away after hundreds of years of accumulation of impossible. There are still some old grounds that can be excavated, but it has been supported for two years. After the old grounds are quickly exhausted, The new production system has not yet recovered. As the core general of the Black Yan Army, Le Yi already felt that this situation was unsustainable.

Even more than two years ago, they had won many victories in the battle against the Tigers in the south of Heyang, but they could not reverse this trend.

This situation has not revealed a major problem for the time being, but after half a year, a large-scale famine broke out in Wild Goose Sect County again, so that the food supply to the Black Swallow Army had to be reduced.

There are also outstanding people of the Eight Clan in Beijing, who quickly noticed the reversal of the situation. It was only after that, the Xiyuan Army really broke out from the dangerous pass of the Xiongguan Pass at the turn of the Yanji; and the king of Zhuluqin The army also changed from the previous state of fighting soy sauce, and became active in finding fighters in Heyang, Lichuan and other places.

Although no large-scale war broke out after that, the decline of the Black Yan Army was inevitably exposed.

In terms of weapons manufacturing, Wild Goose Sect and Heyang, not at all found large-scale gold-tempered placers. If you want to obtain a large amount of gold-tempered iron, you can only use traditional infiltration. In this method, rare gold and iron such as iron essence and black placer gold are infiltrated into refined wrought iron to obtain different grades of hardened iron.

Before the war, the clansmen of Wild Goose Sect, Heyang, Lichuan and other counties were able to obtain five to six 100,000 Jin of quenched iron materials each year by infiltration, but the Black Yan army took over After these areas, even if priority was given to the restoration of smelting and casting industries, the annual output of quenched iron was only restored to about 300,000 jin.

This is only one percent of Juquanling’s annual output.

In the past, the Black Yan Army was able to obtain millions of catties of hardened iron from Liquan every year through various channels, but at this time, the Xiyuan Army, the Eighth Clan of Beijing County, and the Ninth Kings all strengthened their The blockade at the northeastern foot of Tongshan didn’t have enough gold and iron input. Ning Chan’er brought back more and more powerful war weapon drawings, which would not help the Black Yan Army in the current crisis.

A township-level war chariot requires seven 8,000 Jin and eight-level quenched gold iron, which means that the Black Yan army will do nothing. With the existing output of quenched gold iron, the sky is Only two township secret war chariots can be built.

At this time, Le Yi trial-produced this Scorpio war chariot in Songxi Valley. Because of the lack of sufficient quenched iron, he could only replace it with ordinary fine forged iron. However, the strength of the fine wrought iron is too poor. Chen Hai doubts whether the scorpion tail of such a size will be directly broken by the bumpy terrain before it actually enters the battlefield.

Le Yi created the Scorpio war chariot. He should find something to do for himself after he was relieved of his military power. It was an experiment. He did not expect to have the resources to create a Scorpio war chariot that could actually go on the battlefield.

“At the Tianji Academy, is there an improved picture scroll for the Tianji Crossbow?” Le Yi asked.

Don’t talk about the township-level secret war chariot, even the pavilion-level light secret war chariot is a luxury for the black swallow army at this time. Currently, only a few resources and craftsmen can be concentrated to make it. There are more Tianji Liannu; Le Yi is also more concerned about whether there is an improved version of Tianji Liannu.

Ning Chan’er was shrugged, she wanted to grab Chen Hai’s neck more than Le Yi, and asked if there would be a more powerful crossbow coming out.

Chen Hai stood aside holding his chest and said: “Even if the Heavenly Secret Academy can build a stronger Heavenly Secret Crossbow, it is bound to be the priority for the Xiyuan Army to obtain equipment. Is Le Senior Brother still lucky?”

“…” Le Yi smiled awkwardly. He was not interested in inquiring about the life experience of “Ugly Slave”. After all, no one knew Master and Martial Uncle Gong Liang who were in the sect of the counties. How many eyes are buried inside, Ning Chan’er leads him over, what’s wrong with his identity It shouldn’t be.

At the same time, he also knows that it is not realistic that he will continue to count on the Heavenly Secret Academy to continue to assist the Black Yan Army for no reason. The Secret Academy can really create even more powerful crossbows, and the Black Yan Army is indeed impossible. He was the first to get the hand, thinking of this, he felt that the future of the Black Yan Army was gloomy.

The arrow box is similar to a magnetic launcher. At this time, Chen Hai is trying to deduce a more powerful magnetic arrow talisman restriction, and there is also a higher level of seal in the snake scale book. It can be used for reference and reference, but the real difficulty in the upgrade of the Heavenly Mystery Crossbow is not only to be able to throw a larger gold quenched crossbow beyond ten several li or even several dozen li, but also to ensure the thrown gold quenched arrow. , Has sufficient lethality.

Otherwise, it would be meaningless to throw a gold-hardened arrow that is as long as several meters and a giant spear to ten several li, except for attacking a fixed large target. .

For such a long distance in the air, not to mention the Xuanxiu and Wuxiu who have a cultivation base, even ordinary elite soldiers, watching the gold-hardened arrows thrown from far, can have ample Time to avoid.

The super long-range heavy artillery on Earth has a killing radius.

On Earth, after the projectile touched the target, the filling warhead exploded, using broken shrapnel for surface damage. In Jin Yan states, how would he achieve this?

If the Tianji war crossbow is to be truly upgraded, the key point is to create a gold-hardened arrow with a certain killing radius that can be splashed in all directions after contacting the target.

In this way, each such gold-hardened arrow is like a thousand-edged sword talisman, which can tear apart the enemy’s Defensive Great Array at a distance of ten or even several dozen li. Throw directly into the enemy’s formation or the enemy’s city to kill a large number of enemies, and it is truly a powerful weapon on the battlefield.

At this moment, an old man came over and said that Huang Shanyan had been prepared, and invited them to have a meal in the house.

Chen Hai, Ning Chan’er, and Le Yi have a banquet in a hut; the drug slaves and a dozen old pawns and craftsmen under Le Yi’s command also make up three tables in the house on the east side. .

During the dinner, Ning Chan’er and Le Yi talked about her experience in Liquan and some of the latest combat weapons trial-produced by Tianji Academy. Le Yi heard that Tianji Academy was building a wind and flame airship. , The eyes are also bright, but the worry on his face is heavier.

Chen Hai does not need to ask, I think Le Yi should also clearly realize that this battle can no longer be fought.

At this time, it is the logistics supply that restricts the Xiyuan Army.

In the eastern part of Heyang County, the Xiyuan Army, the Eleventh Road Qinwang Army, and many auxiliary soldiers and civilians, as many as 150,600,000 people, the food and grass supplies have to be transported from the north of Beijing, and 4,000 died. -5000 miles away.

Even if the Taiwei Mansion used tens of thousands of Mechanical Puppet beasts and a large number of cows, horses and camels to transport food and supplies, it was still very difficult.

Therefore, the Xiyuan Army and the Eleventh Route Qinwang Army are currently mainly encircling Ganquan Mountain, but they are not eager to launch a large-scale offensive. This is mainly because they are worried that if there is a problem with grain and grass, they will attack at the same time. If you are frustrated again, you will fall into a dilemma.

Chen Hai did not meet Yingshu Yingshu directly, but he has to admit that Yingshu Yingshu or the Grandmaster Level soldiers behind him are planning and controlling the progress of the entire war. Instead of him, since he already had a comparative advantage, he naturally didn’t need to use risky strategies. He dignified his troops in an upright manner, pushing forward and squeezing the Black Yan Army’s living space.

This is also the most correct and hardest tactic to crack.

Wait for the Fengyan airship to be incorporated into the Xiyuan Army, the Xiyuan Army will solve the bottleneck of the logistics supply, and the tactical choices will become more flexible. When the time comes, the Black Yan Army will fight in Heyang County. It will become more uncomfortable.

A Fengyan airship, with a load of 200,000 jin, seems to be equivalent to the carrying capacity of a hundred Mechanical Puppet beasts, but the Fengyan airship travels one or two thousand miles a day and is not affected by the Guanshan River. Obstacles, the advancing speed is 20-30 times that of the Mechanical Puppet, and the reuse rate is much higher than that of the Mechanical Puppet.

Once the Xiyuan Army has more than four or five Windflame airships, the bottleneck for logistical supplies will be a complete breakthrough.

Although the Tianji Academy will not build the Fengyan airship for the Xiyuan Army in the short term, the Taiwei Mansion and the generals seem to have not realized the importance of the Fengyan airship for the time being and did not send anyone there. Tianji Xuegong negotiated to purchase the drawings, but Chen Hai believed that as long as Tianji Xuegong built the first Fengyan airship, Ying Wang Ying stated that his group of generals would immediately realize the importance of Fengyan airship as long as they were not stupid. , Will directly purchase the picture scrolls from the Tianji Academy, and arrange for them to be manufactured by the Mojia Division or the Arsenal Division.

Of course, before the Mojia Division can produce enough wind and flame airships, the West Garden Army will be more likely to choose the right and stop. Unhurried will find the main force of the Black Yan Army for the final great decisive battle, thus giving The Black Yan army won the time window to withdraw north.

“You go to Liquan at this time, does Chen Hai have greater ambitions?” After a long silence, Le Yi suddenly asked Ning Chan’er.

Ning Chan’er glanced at Chen Hai, and said ambiguously to Le Yi: “Perhaps, but it may not be revealed so early?”

“He is already working Quan stands on his own, who can predict this?” Le Yi said in his heart that Chen Hai had greater ambitions.

Ning Chan’er said quietly: “How do you persuade those Old Guys to agree that you will lead the crowd to the palace of speculation?”

“The situation is like this, it must be It takes a strong army to go west to Qintongguan to threaten Yanjing, in order to break the siege of Heyang!” Le Yi said resolutely.

“Chen Hai is sitting in front of you. Ask him if he is happy to do it, right?” Ning Chan’er looked over and directly exposed Chen Hai’s identity…

Chen Hai hates headaches in secret, didn’t expect him to do everything, but he fell into the pit that Ning Chan’er dug for him.
