The Sacred Ding

Ning Chan’er led 19 horse thieves like Zhou Da, and forced them to take Ni Ling San. After watching them each True Yuan thrusting profound vein Spirit Aperture, after losing their combat power, they gave them again. Into a little Ni Ling San, so that they can not destroy True Yuan to heal their injuries.

Next, she rushed back to find Chen Hai again, she still missed what was captured in this battle.

Due to the large amount of materials and the low-level Spiritual Pill spiritual medicine and Fu Zhuan, which were all consumed in the war, the seizure of this time is far inferior to the battle of Moyue Lake. A few Mysterious Grade magic weapons, Spirit Sword, Chen Hai and Ning Chan’er were inconspicuous, and they were rewarded to the successful generals in this battle; Ning Chan’er finally got two cultivation medals for seven-eight hundred years. Yao Dan left.

The generals and soldiers are all caught in the carnival of winning another victory. Fan Dachun, Deng Tonger, Han Wendang, and Guo Hongzhen are all happy, and Chen Hai’s prestige has also risen to the extreme.

Even the core generals can understand that Chen Hai’s status as an envoy of the country is fake, and Deng Tonger can directly guess Chen Hai’s true identity, but these do not compromise Chen Hai’s prestige like the sun at high noon.

And this is definitely not what Ning Chan’er can achieve by relying on a few Soul Pills and controlling a few powerhouses of the Aperture Stage–not to mention Deng Tonger, Fan Dachun and the others within the body The Soul Pill and the poisonous evil have been cleared, but even if it is not cleared, it is still under the control of Ning Chan’er, but it can’t control the middle and low-level military officers underneath, and the fanatical loyalty to Chen Hai.

This is Chen Hai who led the generals and created them an unimaginable, miraculous victory, and it was a series of great victories, which can almost be said to be the depths of the northeastern desert of the West Qiang Kingdom. The horse thieves’ dens were all wiped out.

If three months ago, someone ran over to Fan Dachun and told Fan Dachun that something like this would happen in the next three months, Fan Dachun would definitely think that the other party was insane.

Although there are tens of thousands of elite horse thieves under the command of Black Mountain Martial Venerable Kong Peng, and tens of thousands may be the elite of Tibetan and Qiang soldiers and horses, although the situation within the West Qiang Kingdom may change at any time. , But after experiencing many unimaginable miracles and triumphs, even Fan Dachun, who is naturally cautious, has become extremely optimistic at this time, thinking that in the future, it will be nothing more than soldiers coming to stand in the way.

However, the extreme optimism of Fan Dachun, Deng Tonger, Han Wendang, Guo Hongpan, and the others is a tremendous pressure on Chen Hai.

The strengths and weaknesses of the horse thief are equally obvious, especially the general talent who stays behind and has no real knowledge of the war. This gives him the opportunity to take advantage of it. In terms of military use, Chen Hai can be called Grandmaster Level The characters and opponents are not at the same level as him. Even the most elite troops are full of weak spots in Chen Hai’s eyes. Moreover, not at all can really threaten Chen Hai and Ning Chan’er’s Dao Pill powerhouse. exist.

However, the elite army at this time, even if the force barely reaches 20,000, is far from elite, and among the horse thieves, there are not those who do not know the soldiers, but they were taken away by Black Mountain Martial Venerable Kong Peng. Chen Hai took a deep drill, leaving behind a big empty crotch.

Next, especially the Black Mountain Kou Jun slowed down, things were not that simple.

Especially Black Mountain Martial Venerable Kong Peng, in addition to the Dao Pill Early-Stage cultivation base, before abandoning the clan and fleeing, he served as the Northern Army Captain of the Western Qiang Army for a long time. With his experience in ruling the army, the leaders of the horse thieves are all veterans, and they are by no means easy to deal with.

It’s easy to take down Black Mountain City. Considering that the situation in West Qiang will change drastically at any time. Once the thief in West Qiang will contact foreign enemies, it will subvert Ye’s Royal Family and steal West Qiang, Black Mountain. Martial Venerable Kong Peng will lead a large number of troops to counterattack at any time. When the time comes, when the offensive and defensive trend changes, the evolution of the battle situation will be more complicated.

Moyue Lake can only support forty-five thousand people in a short period of time. No matter how much it is, it will exceed the load, but a dozen small tribes, plus a large number of slaves released by the thief villages, are outstanding. The number of people under control has exceeded 130,000, and there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses to raise. A series of small and medium-sized oasis around Black Mountain must not be easily given up.

Otherwise, they will all withdraw to Moyue Lake and steal the thieves like Kong Peng from the Western Qiang Kingdom. As long as they can station 20,000 elite soldiers and horses in Black Mountain, they can have the patience about a year. , Can directly drag Moyue Lake down.

Black Mountain must be defended, but once the offensive and defensive trend changes, Jing Juejun will lose the initiative.

Moreover, the twenty small and medium-sized oasis belonging to Black Mountain are not concentrated in one place. They are mainly scattered in a circular area with Black Mountain as the center and a radius of 300 li. Here, the largest one Baishiyu Oasis is located more than 300 miles south of Black Mountain, with an area of ​​less than 20 li. It is only one-fifth the size of the Moyue Lake Oasis-a large number of people, livestock, and resources are scattered in these 20 oasis Here, how do you guard it?

The scope of Black Mountain Oasis itself is extremely small, only comparable to that of Yequ Mountain. The area covered by savanna meadows is only four miles deep. The reason why Black Mountain is important is that, in addition to its steep terrain, it is more important It is located in the center of these twenty small and medium-sized oasis.

Black Mountain is not suitable for building a big city. The two gushing springs produce water, and the sparse tree meadows bred are not enough to feed 10,000-20,000 animals, not to mention the domestic water and farming after a large number of people gather. Water up.

Must build the Black Mountain City and rule three to four hundred li around it. It should be built in Baishiyu, where water resources are relatively abundant in the south and the meadow is 20 li deep.

Now Black Mountain City is completely destroyed. If you want to repair it, there is no difference from reconstruction. It is really better to build Black Mountain New City to Baishiyu.

Only Baishiyu can garrison tens of thousands of generals for a long time, but a large number of horses and livestock have to be dispersed to other oasis for herding.

At the same time, Kong Peng really can one day lead an army to counterattack, Baishiyu is also the first to bear the brunt, and the defense must first defend Baishiyu.

Thinking about it again and again, Chen Hai finally decided to let the army rest for a while, but began to transfer to Baishiyu in batches, where to find new fighters.

At the same time, when the horse thieves abandoned Guhu Mountain, in Guhu Mountain and other villages, there were a total of 20,000 or 30,000 slaves who were extremely weak and were abandoned there.

Chen Hai could ignore the abandoned slaves of these thief villages for the time being, but when the horse thief moved to Moyue Lake and Guhuo Mountain, he did everything possible to use food, grass, livestock and other materials. If Chen Hai does not send people to concentrate these slaves to Moyue Lake or Black Mountain, these slaves will not have the ability to cross the vast desert, and they will be trapped and starved to death. and small, water plants seem to be in a beautiful oasis.

Whether it’s Moyue Lake or Black Mountain, what’s missing is still people–Chen Hai immediately needs to do, or first collect the abandoned slaves scattered in all villages, and concentrate them in Moyue Lake or Baishiyu go with.

And now it is the six-year spring of the Celestial Emperor 70. The oasis in the depths of the desert can only be cultivated for a few months a year, and the matter of farming and pastoralism will be restored as soon as possible. Otherwise, the grain gathered in Zhuzhai will only last until next year. There will be no harvest this year, and hundreds of thousands of people will face a major famine the next year.

In the current situation, Chen Hai has both near-term worries and long-term worries. If he does not solve these problems, the past few victories accumulated before are just towers made of sand. , It looks gorgeous and magnificent, but it is pushed down.

No matter it is the generals from horse thieves like Fan Dachun, or the leaders of many small tribes, no one is proficient in farming and water conservancy affairs. Many things can only be done by Chen Hai.

Fortunately, the horse thief also has the need to repair armors and build castles, and the requirements are not low. The slaves of all the villages are gathered together, and thousands of skilled craftsmen and craftsmen can be selected from them. This is a pleasant surprise for Chen Hai. It saves Chen Hai’s old nose and is also the key to mass production of catapults.

However, the time left for Chen Hai was too short, so short that he didn’t have time to build a crossbow or war chariot.

In addition to leaving more than a hundred Han clansman and leading more than 3,000 slaves who had just been liberated from cruel oppression, Chen Hai also led a heavy camp on the seventh day of repairing the city and engaging in farming and animal husbandry at Black Mountain. And the last two thousand horse infantry, moved to the south of Baishiyu.

The journey of 300 li, slowly, is only a two-day journey.

That night, Chen Hai and the others chose to camp in a stone valley where they could shelter from the wind. There are thousands of miles around without a trace, they don’t have to drive overnight; otherwise, the horses will be consumed too much.

This stone valley is located in the depths of the vast desert and there is no water source. Chen Hai is standing on a 100-meter high cliff, looking thoughtful at the black sandstone layers exposing the vast sea of ​​sand.

“What are you thinking?” Ning Chan’er flew over like a scared rainbow.

“Except for Shiyue Gorge, the several stone mountain cliffs we saw outside of Black Mountain, including many oases, are dominated by this black sandstone. I was thinking, Could the underground of many oasis such as Black Mountain be a large rock formation connected by the terrain?” Chen Hai said.

“Yes or no, what is the difference?” Ning Chan’er asked puzzledly.

“If it is, and the entire rock layer under the ground within a radius of 300 li is relatively shallow from the surface, then the springs formed by the surrounding 19 oases and the direction of the streams and rivers will be transformed to make them With Black Mountain as the center, in this way, the water lost by the infiltration of the stream will be greatly reduced, which can give birth to a larger-scale oasis!” Chen Hai said.

In the depths of the vast desert, whether it is glacial melt water or groundwater springs, the streams and rivers that are eventually formed will disappear in the depths of the desert due to seepage and evaporation. To expand the area of ​​oasis, mainly Can think of a way from leakage.

“Ah!” Ning Chaner’s lips slightly opened, which was what Chen Hai was considering.

In Black Mountain and other places, the water flow of ground springs is not small, but the scale of lakes and rivers formed is quite limited. In addition to evaporation, the sand sea in all directions continues to infiltrate–if Black The ground near the Mountain is really a piece of rock formations that are relatively shallow from the surface. Draining many, many rivers to the inside means that there will be a large amount of water, locked by the rock formation under the sand, and will not continue. If it leaks underground, it will not be lost in vain.

The oasis area that can be bred near Black Mountain in the future may be several times larger than before.

“How can you confirm your guess?” Ning Chan’er asked.

“Digging wells in scattered locations in the sand near Black Mountain, in addition to finding new water sources, but also exploring the depth of the underlying rock formations. Is this the case? More than one hundred holes must be dug Shajing, it can be generally confirmed, and it is possible to carry out follow-up spring channel reconstruction.” Chen Hai said.

Although Yanzhou’s refining tools are extremely developed, the Xuanmen’s high repairs fly the sky and the land, and the magic weapons created are powerful, but they all serve a small group of people. The civilian society still stays in the agricultural civilization. The stage can also be said to be caused by the huge fault formed by the clan, sect and civilian society of this World.

Chen Hai thinks what advantage he wants to have, that is, the huge miraculous projects he has seen in Earth are all made by ordinary people like ants.
