The Sacred Ding Chapter 195: Jie Ling
The dozen or so black-feathered giant vultures compiled by Tongbei Dakang, although not a heterogeneous species with particularly excellent bloodlines, can also grab a thousand catties of grain bags and fly over the mountains. These black-feather giant vultures were tamed and learned spiritually, and under the control of the trainer, they flew over the refugee camp, tearing up the food bags, and letting thousands of catties of food directly spilled into the camp below.
This is to prevent the small amount of food from being intercepted by the refugees and soldiers stranded in the camp, so as to ensure that more hungry people can get food and save their lives.
The gloomy winds above the ridges can directly hurt the souls of humans and beasts. Even the disciples of the spiritual realm Xuanxiu standing on the tops of the ice-covered mountains will still find it difficult to breathe. , The skin and flesh on his body seemed to be blown off by the wind.
And the valleys between the snow peaks are mostly above the snow line. The cold wind roars, like a thousand needles piercing the bones.
For exotic birds like the black feather vulture, it’s difficult to catch heavy objects and fly long distances in such a harsh environment. Fortunately, Chen Hai transferred more than a dozen giant eagles in rotation this time, flying three or five times a day. , Throwing five to six thousand catties of grain to each refugee camp can barely save the lives of the hungry people.
At the northern foot of Yehuling, which is still regarded as the "battlefield" at this time, the main forwards led by the heavy camp and Tu Ziji are still advancing slowly; the acquisition of prisoners of war and the relief of the hungry are proceeding in an orderly manner, and work is done. Very detailed and time-consuming.
When the soldiers opened up the third refugee camp, Yao Xuan and the others also recalled at this time, only to notice a lot of something wrong.
Hundreds of thousands of rebels threatened a large number of people in Beifu to escape into the deep mountains of the northern foothills. Although a large number of people starved to death before, the corpses were everywhere, filling the dead valley around the camp. In principle, the proportion of surviving rebel generals in these camps should not be lower than the hungry people of Qintong who were threatened.
Occupy every refugee camp, prisoners of war and starving people will do statistics.
When occupying the third refugee camp, the rebel prisoners of war collected by the forward were less than 50,000. In addition, the hungry people who were threatened from Tongbei Prefecture and the rebels survived. There are more than 200,000 old and weak women and children.
Seeing such a ratio, Yao Xuan would be too dull if he was really not suspicious.
Yao Xuan followed his father Yao Qitai and participated in almost all Qintong wars from beginning to end. Especially when he retreated to Zuojin Valley with Chen Hai, he saw the rebels gathered at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain at that time. The most prosperous.
At that time, apart from the refugee rebels, there were nearly 100,000 elite thieves with black scarves and full armor; and before the main force of the Xiyuan Army rushed to the north of the Qintong Mountains The rebel generals in the deep mountains, since there are no 700,000 to 800,000, they will not be less than 500,000.
The rebels left the old, weak, women and children as well as the hungry people who were threatening to go north in the mountains. Where did so many refugees and nearly 100,000 black bandit soldiers go? Could it have been flying out of Qintong Mountain?
Yao Xuan is not stupid after all. After seeing the doubt, he immediately led his guards to leave Yehuling in advance with excuses. The follow-up war was unwilling to participate, so he returned directly to Leiyang Valley.
Chen Hai does not care about Yao Qitai, Yao Xuan father and son and other generals who are loyal to the prince to win Dan, what countermeasures he will have after discovering all this; he does not care whether Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun are determined to kill the killer, Directly detain or directly kill all the generals loyal to Yingdan-Chen Hai, with the cooperation of Tu Ziji, Fan Cheng and others, continued to do the work of helping the hungry.
Although the Refugee Army left more than 100,000 generals in the camps around Yehuling, at this moment, there are still seventy to eighty thousand people. They are already weak to the point of no combat power. Tu Ziji and his troops are almost bloodless. The armor of these rebel soldiers was lifted.
In addition, nearly 300,000 people in Tongbei Prefecture who were threatened by the rebels into the mountains before have survived.
Regardless of the large number of casualties along the way, only the valleys near the refugee camps were cleaned up. There were nearly 200,000 dead bodies. Chen Hai could even perceive these valleys full of resentment.
Chen Hai did not have a good impression of Chimei Sect before, and at this moment he doubts whether Fang Leyi's bringing "Treatment Records" back to Chimei Sect is the right decision.
Of course, Chen Hai is still indifferent to this land.
The shock to Su Ling's heart was too severe. Although she tried hard to endure in front of Chen Hai and didn't want to expose her true inner thoughts to Chen Hai, she almost lost her mind in both practice. Both Jueyin and Hand Jueyin were severely damaged by tearing, and they finally retreated to the middle stage of the Spirit Illuminating Realm after they finally cultivated to the late stage of the Spirit Illuminating Realm.
Wandering into the devil caused the spiritual veins to be damaged. The blow to Xuanxiu's disciples can be said to be extremely fatal. It may mean that she will never be able to return to the previous cultivation base in this life-Chen Hai was originally abolished. It's just that the cultivated spiritual veins are destroyed.
There are nearly 400,000 prisoners of war and hungry people, all of whom are extremely weak, especially injured and sick. Even with the aid of food, there are still hundreds of people dying every day, and it is impossible to transfer so many people out immediately.
Fortunately, after the summer, Qin Tongshan survived the most difficult famine at the northern foot of the Tongshan Mountain. The storage of grain in Tongbei Dacang was still rich. Although it was very difficult to transport into Yehuling, it would not stop eating.
Chen Hai organized manpower to help the hungry in Yehuling, while arranging for the hungry people to be moved out with the heavy convoy in batches. The pressure on Yehuling was also reducing day by day.
The hungry people who were threatened in Tongbei Prefecture were naturally arranged to return to their hometowns. There were also some refugees who were rebels in Tongbei Prefecture, and they were confused with arrangements to return to their hometowns. The migratory migrants in Tongbei Prefecture were affected by the rebellion about five. More than tens of thousands of people, even if they are not executed, will be demoted to slaves according to the law, or be given to participating generals as trophies, or directly incorporated into the camp for hard labor.
It's just that these prisoners of war are too weak. Although a large number of prisoners of war died of illness every day after the normal supply of meals, no generals were willing to receive such spoils, and they were completely unqualified to serve as hard labor. Some generals even suggested that they should be killed directly.
Chen Hai finally took the remaining fifty thousand prisoners of war at the price of five million catties of fine forged iron or fifty thousand catties of quenched gold iron ingots.
How you look at it now, it's all a loss-making business.
Although the famines in Tongbei and Nanzhang have gone through the most difficult moments, there are still a large number of people willing to sell children and women, or directly as slaves.
You don’t need a hundred catties of fine forged iron to get a strong slave laborer; and the more than 50,000 prisoners of war in Yehuling are too weak, and some people will continue to die of illness, even if Most of the people who can survive, almost all of these people's body collapsed, and they can't do work for more than half a year in the early recuperation. In addition to wasting food, they have to use a lot of healing drugs.
There are frequent wars in the counties, and medicines to nourish qi and blood are much more precious than food.
Chen Hai didn't care about other people's arguments. The five million catties of fine forged iron ingots could be in arrears first, and the heavy vehicles were arranged first, and the prisoners of war were transferred to Juquanling in batches for resettlement.
After the six refugee camps are occupied, the main rebel forces can no longer be kept away.
From Yehuling to the northeast, all are snow-capped mountains, and even the lowest mountain passes are above the snow line. However, just in front of these dangerous and desperate mountain passes, rebel generals can be seen freezing, starving, and falling to death at any time.
The main force of the striker was unable to quickly surpass these absolute mountain valleys. Chen Hai and Tu Ziji led a group of elite guards to chase down the road, climb the heavy mountain, and traced for thousands of miles to the east. They saw the dead rebel generals along the way. There are as many as thirty thousand people.
Furthermore, starting from the last refugee camp, along with the extension of the route of the dead mountain, the people on the side of the dead road became more and more dense. On the way, Chen Hai could even see a scene of two or three hundred people freezing to death in a mountain col.
These rebel generals must be left behind with injuries and illnesses. There is no way to keep up with the large forces, so they can only stay and wait for death, and they have no strength to retreat to the starting camp.
Chen Hai didn’t know what these rebel generals were thinking about before they died. He and Tu Ziji finally stopped at the top of a snowy peak that was more than ten thousand yuan high and whose faces were pierced by a knife. After coming down, and no longer going east, Yao Qitai and Yao Xuan may have bypassed Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun, and reported everything that happened deep in the northern foot of Qintong Mountain to the Taiwei Mansion and to the Prince Yingdan.
Even if Yao Qitai, Yao Xuan and other generals loyal to the prince Yingdan have been detained by Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun, they have been delayed long enough in the north of Yehuling-if the rebels failed at this time The preparations for a surprise attack on the Jiyang Tigers and Cardiac Army, then they would postpone it, I am afraid it would be meaningless.
Looking eastward at the top of the vast snowy field, those rebel corpses standing or lying down~IndoMTL.com~ continue to extend eastward, becoming denser and denser, and you can't see the end at a glance. Chen Hai is used to seeing the scene in the blood cloud wasteland. The curtain, my heart still palpitates slightly.
Although Chen Hai had long anticipated that the main rebel forces would use secret crossings, trying their best to climb over the snow-capped mountains on the eastern foot of Qintong Mountain and sneak into Jiyang and other northern counties, Wen Boyuan and Fan Chun naturally It is also pretending to be stupid and deliberately indulging, but when Chen Hai saw this scene with his own eyes, it was difficult to imagine that the main rebel forces continued to climb the remaining two or three thousand miles of snow-capped mountains, and waited until the territory of Jiyang County. People can live.
A quarter? one third?
There must be no more than this number.
At this time, it is hard for Chen Hai to imagine the resolute courage of the rebels. Only then did he think of jumping over the endless snow-capped mountains and jumping from Qintong Mountain to Jiyang County...
"The old thief Ning is in danger!" Although Tu Ziji saw this scene, he was still frightened, but he was more concerned about the changes brought about by the rebels after they left Qin Tongshan. He looked at the distant Xuefeng and squeezed tightly. Fist said fiercely.
In the 73rd year of Emperor Yitian, there were civil unrest in all counties of Yanzhou, and the situation in Jiyang, Qintong and other places was extremely dangerous. In Jiyang and other northern counties, dozens of bandits jointly formed Black Yan. The army looted the county government, wherever it went.
Under the recommendation of Yingshu the King of England, Ning Zhize, the leader of the Ning clan and the riding general Ning Zhize, gave the Zhu Guo general, and led more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Ning clan and 150,000 tigers and wolves into the Jiyang suppression bandit.
The Ning family is the mother of the prince concubine, and even the future grandson concubine Ning Chan'er is also the adopted daughter of the Ning family. Naturally, the Ning family is also the most staunch supporter of the prince win Dan, and the prince win Dan to rule the country and suppress dissent A powerful boost.
During the period when the prince won Dan’s power, the Ning family naturally took advantage. In order to seize the power of the tiger and the army, they even made a lot of injustices and confuses, and caused a lot of human tragedies, which offended many people.
