The Sacred Ding

By mid-to-late October, Huayangling also began to snow and the rivers were frozen. At this time each year, the situation in northern Tianshui County suddenly became severe, and this year is no exception.

Hengshan Defense Line, although Tianshui County’s local armed forces’ defense area occupies 2/3, except for Tianshui County’s 150,000 soldiers and the same 150,000 number of auxiliary soldiers stationed on the Western Region’s defense line, Hua Thousands of dísciples of Yang Sect are also in the winter, and they are assembled on the Hengshan defense line to assist in the defense; and on the 2nd defense line in the rear, there are hundreds of reserve soldiers and horses assembled before the winter, how can they be less than 30,000 fights in the east. The defense of pawns and fifty thousand auxiliary soldiers is much more reliable and thick.

After Chen Hai led Longxiang Camp to Hengshan, he didn’t even ask for help from Tianshui County. On the contrary, Tianshui County couldn’t sit still and appointed Wu Jinglin as the liaison envoy to lead Sanqian County. The elite soldiers entered Hengshan.

The clans of Tianshui County still have their own thoughts on the arrival of Chen Hai and Longxiang Daying, but everyone still knows in their hearts that if Hengshan is really missed, it is the clans of Tianshui County who will suffer. . They thought that if Hengshan really had a big mistake, Wu Jinglin would be able to send back the news in time, and the soldiers and horses assembled on the second line should also lean as far as possible to the east.

Wu Jinglin led his troops into Hengshan in mid-November, and was catching up with the wind and flame airship to transport the two township-level secret war chariots, and finally the generals of Longxiang Camp, who stayed at Lianshui Mansion, into Hengshan City.

Zhou Jingyuan was also transferred to Hengshan this time and served as the Hengshan Mansion to join the army, presided over the land reclamation and workshop construction.

Chen Hai officially handed over Lianshui Mansion at this time. Of course, Wen Boyuan directly sent his protagonist to take over the military and political affairs of Lianshui Mansion, and brought Lianshui Mansion into the sphere of influence of Su Wei Army.

After all, under Chen Hai’s rule, Lianshui Mansion resettled millions of people within one year, and all abandoned fields were replanted. The first batch of grains after autumn also received a big harvest. The financial resources and potential soldiers that can be excavated down Heyang Banjun are concentrated in Lianshui Mansion.

The Suwei Army can only control Lianshui Mansion, and then have the financial resources to continue to the south to restore people’s livelihood, until Yu Zonghu is stationed in the northern Lichuan County, and from the coast of the Chu River to Azure Dragon Yu in the eastern part of Gyeonggi. Only when the counties dispatched direct officials to operate, will they truly have the foundation to compete with the Jingjun clan.

Operating Lianshui Mansion is one of Chen Hai’s great achievements for Su Weijun.

In less than a year, Chen Hai raised hundreds of millions of catties of grain, tens of thousands of cattle and almost the same number of mules and horses in less than a year. It was the Tianji Academy who traded weapons and secret maps of the secret map, and then Chen Hai quickly moved the Longxiang camp to Hengshan and handed Lianshui to Yanran Palace to take over directly.

The so-called loyalty is also only this; Wen Boyuan, Zhao Zhong and the others, even if they are picky, can’t raise the upwards from Chen Hai’s body and get out of “infidelity”.

Wu Jinglin saw the two iron knots unloaded from the Fengyan airship with the signs of “Scorpio One” and “Scorpio Two” engraved on the side. He still really liked it.

Although Tianji Xuegong announced a new tempering method, which can directly use ordinary quenched iron to refine step by step, smelting more advanced gold quenched iron materials, but a township war chariot with ordinary A total of twelve to 150,000 jin was spent on hardening gold and iron, which was still a luxury for the weak and densely populated Tianshui County.

Even if Tianshui County is relying on the western foot of Qintong Mountain and has the advantage of a waterside pavilion gets the moonlight first, nowadays, there are nearly one million catties of quenched gold and iron supplies every year, but it is also used in priority at this time The casting of the gold-hardened armor is not as extravagant as Hexi can make large-scale heavenly weapons and weapons.

Of course, the two township-level secret war chariots were first captured from the Guoziling camp of the Xiyuan Army, and they have been incorporated into the fifth battle camp led by Wu Meng in the Longxiang camp. At this time, Chen Hai also incorporated another heavy township-class war chariot and a six-ride light pavilion war chariot into the fifth battle battalion led by Wu Meng.

Although the Tianji Academy had previously manufactured a large number of Tianji combat weapons, it was mainly for external sales and exchange of resources. The equipment level of Longxiang Daying was not at all immediately mentioned.

There can be some war chariots, all of which are used to strengthen the defense of the Tianji Academy, and they are equipped with guards. This time they are also temporarily taken out and handed over to Longxiang Camp for use.

The fifth battle battalion consists of six thousand soldiers, but together with the Huwei battalion, it will be the winter defensive battle, the most important mobile battle strength in the hands of Longxiang Daying.

Whether it is a heavy-duty heavenly machine war chariot or a light-weight heavenly machine war chariot, the car body after several improvements has been completely enclosed, and a large elevation angle and full-angle shooting tower has been added to the top, and the bottom shooting The number of crossbows was reduced to two on the side and front, and the number of crossbows was reduced from four to three, but the new heavy-bore crossbows were given priority.

It was also the Tianji Academy that felt the severity of the Hengshan winter defense war. The core figures such as Guo Hongpan, Xue Cun, Ji Yuanren, Zhao Ruhui temporarily put aside the affairs at hand, and personally took action within a month. Twelve heavenly secret heavy-bore crossbows were created to strengthen the battle strength of Longxiang Base…

Only then did the heavenly secret Academy truly manifest its strength.

More than 5,000 apprentice craftsmen and apprentices from all counties in Yanzhou. They did not have the obligation to loyalty or even perform their duties to Tianji Xuegong, Chen Hai, nor did Chen Hai and Tianji Xuegong offer apprentices and craftsmen. The position requires them to be born and die for Longxiang Daying. Even more than half of the craftsman apprentices may have been sent by the clans of the counties to steal the teachers, but each craftsman apprentice is required to manually produce dozens of 20 qualified heavy crossbows within a month. Popped up as an academic assessment, the craftsman apprentices also impossible to refuse.

As a result, when Wu Jinglin led three thousand elite soldiers from Tianshui County to Hengshan, twelve heavenly heavy-bore crossbows, hundreds of thousands of heavy crossbows, and hundreds of ordinary crossbows were also brought in. Hengshan, first used to strengthen the battle strength of the fifth battle battalion war chariot battalion.

The Hengshan East Defense Line is located under the great ridge at the northwestern foot of Qintong Mountain. It is less than 300 li from east to west. There are seven defense villages in the mountains ranging from three five hundred meters to more than one thousand meters. , To block the gap in the south; while the main city of Hengshan was built outside the seven fortifications and became the most important support point for the eastern defense line.

Once the monsters swarm up, Hengshan City will bear the greatest pressure.

Considering that the monster man is also quite skilled in the use of various tactics, not only the Demonic beast who knows the killing, Chen Hai led Wu Meng’s fifth battle battalion and guard battalion and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, He personally guarded the outside of Hengshan City, and ordered Zhou Jun, Wang Gongchen, and Wang Gui to lead the second, third, and fourth battle battalions and other auxiliary soldiers and civilians to guard the seven defenses in the rear to ensure that the demon army is The main force blocked, and the twenty old-style Secret Crossbows were all assigned to seven defenses to strengthen the defense at close range.

Of course, at this time, there were also thousands of apprentices from the Tianji Academy who came to Hengshan voluntarily to assist in the defense and to help make more simple and practical defensive weapons.

If a small number of monsters bypass the city and Fangzhai, and directly climb over the steep mountains and enter the hinterland of Tianshui County, Chen Hai plans to equip ten old-style heavenly machine crossbows and more than a hundred spirit birds. The Huwei Warbirds Battalion was annihilated by mobile.

After all, the strength of Longxiang Camp is still too small to maintain multiple lines of defense and block all penetration.

The first battle battalion led by Le Yi had more than 5,000 fine riders. At this time, he was still stranded in Zhanmaling, together with the northern county coalition army under the command of the Miao clan. At this time each year, Beiliang County, Yong County, Wild Goose Sect County and Liaoyang County have to bear more pressure.

Wu Jinglin led his troops into Hengshan City and met with Chen Hai. He saw that Chen Hai was still outside seven-eight li on the Northern Part of City in Hengshan. He dug up soil and built a ten-several li long stretch of low wall. .

The earth wall is only one meter high and low, rammed in sections, leaving a gap for soldiers and horses to advance and retreat in the middle, and then two small defense barriers are built on the left and right wings of this earth wall to expand The defensive surface of Hengshan City.

Two small city walls for defenses are by no means strong. After all, for more than a month, only three or four meters high earth walls can be built. How can they be strong?

In the defense and Hengshan city, with the foot of the city wall, eighty light stone crossbows have been deployed. At this time, as many stone bullets as possible are mined and transported into the city for storage.

At this time, you can already see the monster outpost, haunting the snowy field north of Tonghe. The closest distance to the north tower of Hengshan City is only 20-30 li.

The monster is the descendant of the cross between the ancient Human Race and the Demonic beast. It used to be the ruler of this land. With the rise of the Human Race clan power, it was more then 2000 years Before, he was completely driven to the cold wasteland north of Taiwei Mountain.

Whether it is from the strong body shape, the rough and ugly face, limbs, and the hairy or natural scales, you can clearly see the bloodline traces of the ancient Demonic beast; some monsters even have Huge scale wings can soar into the sky.

The demon man is naturally brave, capable of large-scale mining and smelting. They are generally equipped with iron armor and iron essence war spears. They can also use meteorite to make more powerful mysterious armors; large-scale domestication wars Riding, and these war horses are even more powerful than Yanzhou’s fine war horses; they also master the formidable power of the powerful blood sacrifice witchcraft, which has been the greatest threat to the northern border of Yanzhou for generations.

Wu Jinglin traveled in Yanjing for two years. After returning to Tianshui County, he would go to the Hengshan Defense Line to participate in the defense every year. He had rich combat experience with the monster soldiers, even if he also stepped When entering the Aperture Realm, I still have lingering fears when I think of the monster warriors’ crazy killing battle strength after the blood sacrifice witchcraft stimulates the orifice veins.

There is no army that wants to fight against the monsters, and if it is not based on the strong defenses and the tactics of the monsters that are not good at attacking the city, Wu Jinglin suspects the northern counties. Zonglord, is there the ability to stop the Yaoman warriors from going south…

When Wu Jinglin arrived, the generals of Longxiang Camp had already had several small-scale contacts with Yaoman’s outpost. War, leaving a pool of blood in the snow-covered land.

Chen Hai only wanted to suppress the demon man who entered the Hengshan gap to the north of Tonghe. For the demon man who crossed Tonghe and wanted to approach Hengshan City or other defenses, he resolutely intercepted and snipe kill.

Although many outposts of Yaoman have been annihilated on the snowy field between Tonghe and Hengshan City, it is not enough to stop Yaoman’s ambition to tear the gap from here. In the far north of the river, tens of thousands of monsters and brutal soldiers are gathering, and simple animal hide tents are connected together…
