The Sacred Ding Chapter 262: Offensive and defensive momentum
Ning Chan'er led 19 horse thieves from Zhou Da and other leaders, first forced them to take Ni Ling San, and watched them charge their profound veins and lose their combat power, and then poured them a little Ni Ling San, so that they can not destroy the true essence to heal their injuries.
Next, she rushed back to find Chen Hai, she still missed what was captured in this battle.
Because a large amount of materials, low- and middle-level elixir, elixir, and seals were all consumed in the battle, the seizure this time is far less than the battle of Moyue Lake. Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er looked down upon the several mysterious magic swords, and they were rewarded to the generals who had been successful in this battle. Ning Chan'er was finally disappointed and took two demons who had been practicing for seven or eight hundred years. Dan left.
The generals were all caught up in the carnival of reaping great victories. Fan Dachun, Deng Tonger, Han Wendang, and Guo Hongpan were all in joy, and Chen Hai’s prestige rose to the extreme.
Even the core generals can understand that Chen Hai’s status as an envoy of the country is false, and Deng Tonger can directly guess Chen Hai’s true identity, but these will not compromise Chen Hai’s prestige.
And this is definitely not what Ning Chan'er can achieve by relying on a few soul-devouring pills and controlling a few strong Aperture Stage--not to mention that the soul-devouring erysipelas in the bodies of Deng Tonger, Fan Dachun and others are already Cleared, but even if it is not cleared, it is still under the control of Ning Chan'er, but it cannot control the low- and middle-level military attachés underneath, and the fanatical loyalty to Chen Hai.
This is Chen Hai leading the generals of the army, creating a great victory that they can hardly imagine, which can be said to be a miracle, and it is a succession of great victories, which can almost be said that the horse thief’s den in the depths of the northeastern desert of West Qiang has been Cleared 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 Wuzun Kong Peng, and tens of thousands may be the elite of Tibetan and Qiang soldiers and horses, although the internal situation of the West Qiang country may change at any time, but it has experienced many difficulties. After the great victory of Siyi's miracle, even Fan Dachun, who is naturally cautious, became 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 Tong'er, Han Wendang, Guo Hongpan and others is a tremendous pressure on Chen Hai's shoulders.
The strengths and weaknesses of the horse thief are equally obvious, especially the remaining soldiers and horses, and there is 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 a master-level figure, and his opponents He is not at a level at all, even if he is the most elite, there are flaws everywhere in Chen Hai's eyes, not to mention the existence of Dao Dan realm powerhouses that can really threaten Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er.
However, the elite army at this time, even if the strength of the army barely reached 20,000, was far from an elite, and among the horse thieves, there were not people who did not know the soldiers, but were taken away by the Black Mountain Wuzun Kong Peng, leaving one behind. Chen Hai drilled Dakong Crotch deeply.
Next, especially as the Black Mountain invaders slowed down, things were not that simple.
Especially Black Mountain Wuzun Kong Peng, in addition to his early cultivation base in the Dao Dan realm, before abandoning his clan and fleeing away, he served as the Northern Army captain of the Western Qiang Army for a long time, and he has rich experience in leading the army. The leaders of the horse thieves are also old soldiers, and they are never so easy to deal with.
It is easy to lay down the Black Mountain City. Considering that the situation in the West Qiang Kingdom will change violently at any time, once the internal thief of the West Qiang Kingdom contacts foreign enemies, subverts the Ye clan and steals the West Qiang Kingdom, Black Mountain Wuzun Kong Peng will always rate When a large number of soldiers and horses counterattack, 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 the large number of slaves released by the thief villages, are those controlled by Jing Juejun. Ding has exceeded 130,000, and there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses to raise. A series of small and medium-sized oasis around Montenegro cannot be easily given up.
Otherwise, they would all retreat to Moyue Lake and steal the thieves like Kong Peng from the Western Qiang Kingdom. As long as 20,000 elite soldiers and horses are stationed in Black Mountain, they can have a year and a half of patience and they can directly Moyue Lake dragged down.
Montenegro must defend, but once the offensive and defensive trend changes, the elite army will lose the initiative.
Moreover, the twenty small and medium-sized oasis belonging to Heishan are not concentrated in one place. They are mainly scattered in a circular area with Heishan as the center and a radius of 300 miles. Here, the largest oasis, Baishiyu, is located in Heishan. More than 300 miles away in the south, the area is less than 20 miles vertically and horizontally, only one-fifth the size of the Moyue Lake Oasis-a large number of people, livestock, and resources are scattered in these 20 oasis. Shou?
The scope of the Black Mountain Oasis itself is extremely small, only comparable to 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 the steep terrain, it is mainly located in these 20 The center of a small and medium oasis.
Montenegro is not suitable for building a big city. The two springs shed water, and the sparse tree meadows bred are not enough to feed 10,000 or 20,000 animals, not to mention the water for domestic use and farming after a large number of people gather.
We must build the Black Mountain City to rule the surrounding area for three to four hundred miles. It should be built in Baishiyu, where water resources are relatively abundant in the south and the meadows are twenty miles deep.
Now Heishan City is completely destroyed. If you want to repair it, there is no difference from rebuilding. It is really better to build Heishan 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 lead his army to counterattack one day, 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 move to Baishiyu in batches, where to find new fighters.
At the same time, when the horse thieves abandoned Guhu Mountain, there were still twenty to thirty thousand weakened slaves in the villages of Guhu Mountain and other villages. They 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 send grain, grass, livestock and other materials to Moyue. Lake and Guhu Mountain are concentrated. 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 die of sleepiness and starvation in those large and small, water plants. It's like a rich oasis.
Whether it is Moyue Lake or Black Mountain, what is lacking is still people-Chen Hai has to do the first thing, or first gather the records of abandoned slaves scattered in all villages to Moyue Lake or Baishiyu.
It is now in the middle of the spring of Emperor Yitian's 76th year. The oasis in the depths of the desert can only be cultivated for a few months a year, and the 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 issues, the previous winning victories accumulated before are just towers made of sand and gravel, which looks gorgeous. Magnificent, but it falls down with a push.
No matter the generals like Fan Dachun, who were born as horse thieves, or the leaders of many small tribes, no one is proficient in farming and water conservancy affairs. Chen Hai can only do many things by himself.
Fortunately, the horse thief also needs to repair the armor and build the castle, 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 It was an unexpected joy. It saved Chen Hai's old nose and was also the key to mass production of catapults in the early stage.
However, the time left for Chen Hai was too short, so short that he didn't have time to build an organ crossbow or an organ chariot.
*
In addition to leaving more than a hundred Han clan members led by more than 3,000 slaves who had just been liberated from cruel oppression, they repaired the city and engaged in farming and animal husbandry in Black Mountain. On the seventh day, Chen Hai also led the heavy camp and the last two thousand horse infantry. , Transfer to Baishiyu to the south.
The journey of three hundred miles, slowly, only two days.
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 with no water source. Chen Hai stood on a 100-meter-high cliff, looking at the black sandstone layers exposing the vast sea of sand, thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking?" Ning Chan'er flew over like a scared rainbow.
"Except for Shiyue Gorge, the several stone mountain cliffs we saw in the periphery of Montenegro, including many oases, the rocks are mainly black sandstone. I am thinking about the underground of Montenegro and many other oasis. , Is it a large rock formation connected by terrain?" Chen Hai said.
"Yes or no, what's the difference?" Ning Chan'er asked puzzledly.
"If it is, and the entire rock layer under the ground within a radius of three hundred miles is relatively shallow from the surface, then the springs of the surrounding 19 oases and the direction of the streams and rivers formed by the nineteen oases will be transformed~IndoMTL.com~ With Montenegro as the center, 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 leakage and evaporation. To expand the area of the oasis, the only way to expand the oasis Think of a way.
"Ah!" Ning Chan'er opened her lips slightly, unexpectedly Chen Hai was considering this.
In Montenegro 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, it will continue to infiltrate the sand sea in all directions-if the ground near Montenegro is really continuous It is a piece of rock that is relatively shallow from the surface. Draining many, many rivers to the inside means that a large amount of water will be locked by the rock layer under the sand and will not continue to leak to the ground. It will be lost in vain.
The area of oasis that can be nurtured near Montenegro in the future may be several times larger than before.
"How can I confirm your guess?" Ning Chan'er asked.
"Scattered sites in the sand near Montenegro to dig wells. In addition to finding new sources of water, it can also explore the depth of the underground rock formations. Is it right? If you can dig more than 100 manholes, you can If it is confirmed, it is possible to carry out the follow-up spring road reconstruction." Chen Hai said.
Although the crafts in Yanzhou are extremely developed, the Xuanmen's high repairs fly into the sky and the earth, and the magic weapons created have the power of overwhelming mountains and seas, but they all serve a small group of people. The civilian society is still at the stage of farming civilization. Said to be caused by the huge fault formed by the world's clans, sects and civilian society.
Chen Hai thought to himself what advantage he wanted, that is, the gigantic miraculous projects that he has seen on the earth are all built by ordinary people like ants.
