The Sacred Ding

At the end of August, the Taiwei’s Mansion officially handed down the documents, worrying that Tianshui County’s borders were severely afflicted and monsters were becoming more and more rampant. Chen Hai led the Weiying Longxiang camp to move to Hengshan in the northern part of Tianshui County to assist. Local armed forces are prepared to guard against border troubles.

Beijing army guards the frontiers and usually can control local military equipment. However, this time Chen Hai led his troops to Hengshan and did not grant a senior general who can control local military equipment. After arriving in Hengshan, he still has to Accepting the temperance of Tianshui County Shepherd and General Mansion, the fact that the Jingjun Zonglord and the Yanran Army did not want to see Chen Hai suddenly gain power, and there would be situations that they did not expect.

The marching route of Longxiang Camp was strictly restricted at the Taiwei Mansion, and Chen Hai had no intention of letting Chen Hai lead his troops from Gyeonggi to the west through Qintong Mountain.

borrowing from Gyeonggi was originally the fastest route, but Yingwang Yingshu and Taiwei Tuque were really worried about letting Longxiang Camp into Gyeonggi area or entering Qintong Mountain, Longxiangda If the camp stops halfway, they will be caught blind.

The route drawn up by the Taiwei Mansion for the 30,000 army of Longxiang Camp was borrowed from Yong County, overturned from Zhanmaling in the north of Qintong mountain range, and entered the northern part of Tianshui County.

Although the terrain of Zhanmaling is not as steep and steep as the Chongjue Ridge at the northern foot of the Qintong mountain range, it is also a 4000-5000-meter peak stand in great numbers. The Yangchang Valley Road in between is extremely narrow and steep , Is an important barrier for Yanzhou to resist Northwest to the demons.

The 30,000 cavalrymen of Longxiang Camp borrowed the road from Zhanmaling. First, the road was difficult. It was also 78,000 miles. It might take twice as long as borrowing the road from Yanjing.

Secondly, after crossing Zhanmaling, before reaching the Hengshan line of defense in the northern part of Tianshui County, there are thousands of li or so wasteland, which is the area where monsters often enter activities, especially after the monsters enter the autumn. It will be quite active in this area.

Long Xiang Daying entered the wasteland between Zhanmaling and Hengshan Defense Line. It is almost impossible to escape the harassment of the monsters. I have to pray that when the time comes, there is no main force of the monsters in the vicinity. Assemble, otherwise you may face a disaster.

It is also a rule to specify the route for the movement of the Beijing camp army by the Taiwei’s mansion. This is to guard against the general’s ambitions.

However, at this time, the two Fengyan airships of the Tianji Xuegong have been manufactured in Liquan and the workshop at the foot of Juquanling Mountain. This time they happened to come in handy.

Chen Hai first took the lead with Huang Shuang, Qi Hanjiang, Han Wendang, Sun Gan, Han Jian and the others, and took the lead in the Huwei Battalion in two wind-flame airships, and Fang Xiyan, the supervising army envoy, and fought over a hundred Under the escort of the bird, he flew directly over the valley between Qintong Mountain and Zhanmaling, entered the northern part of Tianshui County in advance, and took over the defense of the west wing of Hengshan.

The main force of the Longxiang base camp, except for the 20,000 war horses and the portable weapons that are easy to transfer, the other equipment is handed over to the locals to take over, led by Le Yi, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and the others Next, slowly borrowed the way from Jiyang County and Yong County, and gathered at the eastern foot of Zhanmaling in advance.

At this time, the superiority of the Fengyan airship is fully demonstrated.

A large airship with a load of 200,000 kg, can transport thousands of light armor soldiers at one time, and the transportation efficiency is extremely high, almost ignoring the obstacles of the terrain.

Although the wind and flame airship should not fly too high, it is the limit when it is lifted up to 5000 meters; no matter how high it is, it will become extremely unstable against the harsh wind. It is made of animal skins. The airbag cannot withstand the tearing of the vertical and horizontal winds as sharp as sword energy.

But I don’t mean to cut Maling, even the heavy mountains on the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, between those ten thousand meters high peaks, there is enough space for the wind and flame airship Go through.

From Hengshan to Lianshui, the straight-line distance is only four thousand li or so. Two days and two nights in the Fengyan airship is enough, and you can stop and take a breath in the middle, but if you don’t borrow the Fengyan airship , Thousands of elites, even the green cunning horses who can travel thousands of miles in the imperial court, round the mountains and valleys, how can it take a big half a month before it is possible to rush from Lianshui to Hengshan.

There are two Fengyan airships. After receiving the official transfer order from the Taiwei’s Mansion, one thousand sharp soldiers of Longxiang Daying and Sun Gan and some other military officials, even with soldiers and soldiers Hundreds of Heavenly Mystery Crossbows entered Hengshan City in three days.

The speed was so fast that the garrison before Hengshan City was dumbfounded, thinking that it was the enemy’s surprise attack, because they had also received an official letter from the Prince’s Mansion the day before.

Fortunately, Wu Jinglin and Wu Yunqiao accompanied Chen Hai; otherwise, Chen Hai would not be able to take over the defense of Hengshan City from the previous garrison. No one can believe that they will come so soon.

Although the cost of the two Windflame airships is expensive, no matter how high the cost is, it is much lower than taming three-four hundred black feather giant vultures.

Moreover, it is not easy to breed and domesticate the black feather giant vultures. Hexi’s strength at this time can be said to have developed to its peak, but at this time, new black feather giants can be added to the army every year. There are not even a hundred eagles.

Next, the two Windflame airships will continue to be put into use, continuously transporting the soldiers and armored weapons of the Longxiang Camp of the Suwei Army to Hengshui. In addition, the generals of Longxiang Daying were also led by Leyi and other generals. At the same time, they moved westward from Lianshui. The entire process of moving is expected to be shorter than borrowing from Gyeonggi and Qintongguan and shortened by one third. time.

The biggest problem is the transfer of more than 20,000 horses. After all, the size and weight of the horses are too big.

Long Xiang’s large camp compiles the remnants of the Black Swallow Army, and the 20,000 war horses retained after the fine compilation are all excellent breeds selected from a hundred miles, but these war horses go high in the air by airships, but no one is so honest. It would be extremely troublesome to install a specific and strong horse-leashing frame to occupy space and load.

The final plan is to transfer more than 15,000 war horses to the caravan of Tianji Academy to take over, enter the Gyeonggi area from Wushengguan, pass Qintongguan, and send them to Hengshan.

The remaining five thousand excellent war cavalry, a cavalry composed by Le Yi, borrowed a road from Zhanmaling to pass quickly; the other generals are in the process of marching west, arrange the wind flame airship Receive Hengshan one after another.

By the time Tianshui County Duwei General Wu Cheng rushed to Hengshan to meet Chen Hai in mid-September, there were already 8,000 soldiers stationed in Hengshan City at the Longxiang Camp of Suwei Army.

Wu Cheng and Wu En, the contemporary master of the Wu family, are fathers brothers, both of whom are the cultivation bases of the middle Dao Pill realm. They are in Tianshui County and Hua Yang Sect, with Zhou Zhong and Old Zhou, the masters of the Zhou family. At the same time, Qu Xiyuan, the master of the Qu clan, and Liao Yunkui, who was born in a poor family and has a weak clan, are called Hua Yang Sect six.

Because the Wu, Zhou, and Qu tribes have their own expertise in Tianshui County and Hua Yang Sect, no one tribe can suppress the other two tribes. Therefore, in the past 100 years, the county, shepherd and capital of Tianshui County General Wei and other important positions are taken by the three clans in turn.

At this time, Tianshui County’s pastoralist was served by Qu Xiyuan, the leader of the Qu family, and General Duwei was served by Wu Cheng of the Wu family.

Chen Hai moved his department to Hengshan City, nominally accepting the restraint of Qu Xiyuan and Wu Cheng, and also knowing the affairs of Hengshan Prefecture. As long as they are not transferred from Tianshui County, they can be regarded as the No. of Tianshui County. 3 is a character, but his defense zone is in Hengshan City and the vast battlefield north of Hengshan City where he can fight against the monsters. He cannot reach out to Tianshui County, and naturally it is impossible to interfere in the military and political affairs of Tianshui County.

Every winter, the Northern Wasteland is covered with snow and ice, and it will go south for hunting. Therefore, every October is the most tense moment in the northern part of Tianshui County.

Although the Jingjun Zonglor intentionally made things difficult for Longxiang Daying, although the clans of Tianshui County also had their own minds, defending the Hengshan line of defense is the bottom line that everyone must adhere to. Therefore, Wu Cheng is also worried about Longxiang. The battalion could not be moved over in time, and the total number of generals in the Longxiang Camp was more than 30,000. He also worried that the strength of the Longxiang Camp was limited and could not defend the Eastern Region of the Hengshan Defense Line.

Wu Cheng saw that the 8,000 soldiers of Longxiang Base Camp arrived at Hengshan City in just half a month. Wu Cheng was also quite shocked. He had seen the Fengyan airship on the spot and his expression was even more solemn.

These are just two wind-flame airships. Within half a month, 8,000 elite soldiers can be transported from four to five beyond a thousand li to Hengshan across the rivers and mountains. If Longxiang is big How about twenty Fengyan airships in the camp?

From now on, which one is absolutely safe behind and deep in the hinterland?

It’s just that the Tianji Xuegong not at all makes the Fengyan Airship’s manufacturing drawings secret, and any county and clan who are willing to pay a price that can’t be said to be harsh, change from the Tianji Xuegong to the drawings. . For the convenience of drawing, the Miao and Yue clan set up the casting workshop of the Fengyan Airship directly in Liquan after purchasing the drawings of the Fengyan Airship, and even hire familiar craftsmen from the Tianji Academy. No one can accuse Chen Hai or Tianji Xuegong from any position on this matter.

It’s just that everyone will continue to adapt to the new war mode in the future, which is also a headache.

From Taiwei Mountain to Qintong, the terrain is low, forming a gap of almost a thousand miles, becoming the main passage for the Yaoman tribes to attack the northwest.

This passage reaches Huayangling in the southern part of Tianshui County, and there is no major terrain obstruction, which can stop the demon man from invading southward.

To ease the pressure of defense, Tianshui County built the defense line on the south side of the entire gap. There is still a main mountain with only five-six hundred high and low mountains, and dozens of fortifications are built to resist Demon invaded.

In the future, Chen Hai will lead Longxiang Camp to be responsible for the Eastern Region of the Hengshan Defense Line. This area is close to the northwestern foothills of Qintong Mountain and crosses the Chongjue Ridge at the northwestern foothills of Qintong Mountain. , The straight line distance from Liquan is only a thousand miles, the Tong River flows from the valleys and gully at the western foot of Qintong Mountain, flows from the front of Hengshan City, twists and turns to the north, and converges from the source to Taiwei Mountain and Zhan The river in Maling, all the way to the grandiose north, has been flowing into the extremely northern sea where the monsters gather.

The winter is severely cold, and the river from the northern foot of Taiwei Mountain to the north will be completely frozen in winter. But in the beginning of spring, the earth will warm up and the ice layer will melt, and the land along the coast will be washed away by floods. Unbecoming, it also forms a natural barrier to prevent the monsters from invading south. When the cold season comes again, the floodplain of the Northern Wasteland becomes frozen again, which is a good opportunity for the monsters to invade south.

The Western Region of the Hengshan Line of Defense will be defended by Tianshui County in the future. Because Longxiang Base has joined the line of defense, Tianshui County can also draw hundreds of soldiers from the Hengshan Line of Defense and move them to China. On the west side of Yangling, guard against possible changes by the Hexi Army against Tianshui County-this is also the main reason why Tianshui County requested assistance from Yanjing.

To the northeast of the Hengshan Defense Line of Tianshui County is the Zhanmaling Defense Line of Yong County, and the Northwest direction is the Broken Dragon Ridge Camp in the northeastern foothills of Taiwei Mountain in Hexi. The jaws of Yaoman restricted the demon man from invading southward from this gap and greatly eased the pressure on Tianshui County’s defense.

The only problem is that from the Hengshan Defense Line to the north, almost a thousand miles of fertile soil was abandoned in vain, turned into a vast grassland, and flooded again after the beginning of spring.

This is also the key reason why Tianshui County is extremely weak and the clans have no ambition.

Tianshui County was originally spun off from Qinshan County, but because Hengshan had thousands of miles north of the land, the land was voluntarily abandoned. The land is nearly half less than other counties. How could it not be weak?
