The Sacred Ding Chapter 300: Before the war

Chen Hai delayed the attack on Yuchi City. In addition to using the pressure of war to implement the military system in Lucheng, a more important reason was that although the rain of golden arrows formed by the organization's continuous crossbow was astonishing, it was very powerful. The consumption of Golden Arrow is really terrifying.

Ninety organ continuous crossbows can shoot thousands of gold quenched arrows in one breath. The 40,000 gold quenched arrows that Chen Hai and the others had previously stored were not enough to sustain a one-minute continuous shooting on the battlefield; Severely injuring the rebel's warbirds and suppressing the advance speed of the rebel cavalry has consumed nearly 20% of the reserves.

Chen Hai delayed to attack Yuchi City, and still had to build a furnace in Lukaixia first, so that a large number of quenched gold arrows could be supplied nearby to support the subsequent cruel war.

It is not realistic to be able to stand on its own feet, and to rely entirely on Juquanling's supply.

Even if his uncle Chen Lie fully supported him, after all the families were in charge, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Houfu had the largest share, which accounted for one-sixth of the hardened gold and iron materials produced in Juquanling; in addition, forty heads The transportation volume of the giant eagle is really too limited. It takes a month to go back and forth, and the transportation volume is only 50,000 or 60,000 catties.

The mud placer deposits in Lukaixia Tianxuan Lake are more than 100 meters thick and can directly produce eight-level gold-quenched iron materials. However, hardened gold arrows do not need such high-quality hardened iron materials. Chen Hai blended several times more ordinary iron materials into smelting to greatly increase the daily yield of hardened iron materials. The casting volume of the steel is directly increased to above the level of 1,500 per day.

The winter and early spring of the Pinglu Oasis are extremely cold. The rebels are not fully prepared and cannot come out of Yuchi City. The Jing Jue Army and the Ye's Royal Army cannot besiege Yuchi City in the ice and snow. Both sides There was a stalemate at the western foot of Tiele Ling, and the time soon entered March of the 77th year of Emperor Yitian.

Since the Ye's royal army and the Jingjue army occupied Tiileling and confronted the rebels occupying Yuchi City, the situation in the Pinglu Oasis has developed, just as Chen Hai expected, there is no city to go again Throw in the rebels.

Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng can only tap the war potential from the existing controlled cities and increase the number of troops stationed in Yuchi City to 60,000. Although the Demon Temple has become more cautious under the strong pressure of Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao, there are still many Qiang and Hu tribes from Tibetan, Qiang, Jinyue and other countries, sending thousands of elite disciples to the Pinglu Oasis. Join the rebels.

At this time, the Jing Jue Army implemented a military system in Lucheng and the Ye's royal family recruited elite children from the four surnames of Lucheng. The size of the soldiers and horses of the two armies increased to 60,000, no less than the rebels in Yuchicheng.

Many small and medium sect clans in Pinglu saw that the rebels did not even have the courage to attack Tieling, and they also knew that the elite disciples of the Demon Temple were forced to retreat from Lukaixia, even if they were still neutral, but He has also sent his children over to communicate with Ye's secretly.

At this time, Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng discovered that although they could obtain certain support from Tahe and other places, they did not have the foundation to rule the Pinglu Oasis, so they did not dare to delay any longer. Zhang Xiong and Zhang Jun The brothers personally mobilized 40,000 soldiers and horses from Tian'ai Mountain and the King City of Xiqiang, pooled a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and rolled over to the west entrance of Nanjian Gorge together.

In order to suppress the golden arrow rain formed by the continuous crossbow of the organs, the rebels used a thousand-year-old solid wood to build a tower shield cart that was propelled by two hundred manpowers, forming two shield walls to push forward the shield and sword soldiers. And the archer took cover, and pushed towards the camp built by Jing Juejun at the west entrance of Nanjianxia.

The Jing Jue Army and the Ye's Royal Army will not let the rebels really approach the camp to build fortifications.

In that case, the role of the sacred machine chariot and the organs will be suppressed, and it will evolve into a more cruel offensive and defensive war in the walled city. The rebels abandoned the Great Yanxi Expedition in Xiqiang twenty years ago. The war weapons of the Royal City have also made hundreds of counterweight sling crossbows based on the gourd paintings. This makes many ordinary brave men who have short training even if they don't have strong force, can play a huge role in the cruel battlefield.

Once the rebels succeed in digging trenches in front of the Xikou camp that hinder the passage of people and horses, build a wall covering the rain of quenched arrows, and then deploy a large number of sling crossbows to the front, the follow-up will become cruel War of attrition.

At that time, it will be even harder for the elite army and royal army, which are not superior in their strength, to take advantage.

So when the rebels came out of Yuchi City, the nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Jing Jue Army and the Ye's royal army in the Xikou camp also opened the gates of the camp and entered the gentle slopes of the west foot of the Tiele Mountains. The prelude to the decisive battle in Tiele Ling.

Su Chonghu, the major disciple of the Demon Temple, was responsible for leading the elite disciples and escorting the Zhang clan from the deep mountains and gully to the south to return to the Demon Temple, but Miao Mingcheng and Yue Yiran stayed with a dozen disciples.

Miao Mingcheng and Yue Yiran stated years ago that the Demon Temple and Taiweizong were not directly involved in the Pinglu War, and they had the courage to stay in Lucheng, but Chen Hai did not have an excuse to expel them, neither Some secrets of Lucheng were not exposed under their noses.

On the day when the decisive battle at the western foot of Tiele Mountain kicked off, Miao Mingcheng, Yue Yiran, and some clan scouts who were holding a wait-and-see attitude also gathered on the peak cliff south of Nanjian Gorge to watch this event likely to be in the next three years. What will end the battle that has determined the new pattern of Jinzhou Eastern Region in fifty years?

Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun, and Kong Peng are in the east of Yuchi City, commanding one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and their strength is more than twice that of the elite army and the Ye's royal army. They have also made adequate defenses against the organs. Yue Yiran But I wanted to see how Chen Hai this servant won this battle on the battlefield at the western foot of Tielling.

The huge monster body of the black dragon converged and squatted next to Yue Yiran. Even though the black dragon was far from mature, it stood like a black stone cliff.

Yue Yiran looks for luck to the west of Tieling. Ye Qinglin’s 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Ye family’s royal army are mainly light armored lances and halberds, supplemented by a few heavy armored horses and archers. After leaving the camp, they were divided into three teams and deployed side by side on the south side of the west entrance of Nanjianxia.

Although the Ye's royal army received a lot of assistance from Hexi in the past time, the armor is still primitive, most of the generals are still leather armor, and it is difficult to resist ordinary arrows and crossbows at close range. Killing and stabbing with a halberd spear, but the impact of the cavalry is extremely strong. At this time, morale is extremely high. As long as the flames of war are ignited, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Ye's royal army will continue to advance to the core battlefield. Will consider things backwards.

The Ye's royal army is really worthy of attention. Ye Qinglin's two thousand heavy armors are personally commanded by Ye He, another important Ye clan member.

The two thousand heavy armored riders are the few elites left by the Ye clan. Almost all of them have a foundation of cultivation above the Profound Realm. They wear black scale armor, which is also a kind of hardened golden armor, which can block The heavily forged arrows are all fired; the heavy armored cavalry that crossed their war horses are all good breeds of the desert, almost a quarter of them are blue cunning scaly horses, and they also wear horse armor made of hardened gold armor.

In addition to the powerful war horses and generals, and the strong armor of the heavy armored horses, every twelve war horses are fastened together with iron locks to advance and retreat together.

"What kind of tactics is this?" The scouts of the various sects ran over to watch the situation. They were also the core children of the clans. They had received rigorous military training since they were young, but they didn’t know that they used iron locks after they were wearing armor. What kind of tactics are buckling together.

But there are also some experienced people who can see the power of this tactic, and say: "In order to facilitate the passage in the depths of the vast desert, the horses of the Golden State countries are mainly light-riding. The heavy armored knight itself suffered a big loss. Once a dozen heavy armored knights buckle together, how much power must Black Mountain Wuzun deploy on the front to block the advance of the heavy armored knight. This should be a battle from Yanzhou. Method..."

Yue Yiran glanced at the elder Miao Mingcheng. Since the end of last year, they have strengthened the collection of information on Juquanling. They know that this is the Jiama formation in the military training record of Chen Haili. Yi, used it on the battlefield of Heyang to fight against the more powerful heavy armored cavalry of the Hu Ben Army and achieved an excellent record.

Looking at the formation of the Ye's royal army on the south wing, it is obvious that the two thousand heavy armored horses are the core of the formation of the horses, and it will cut into the battlefield.

Although they have passed relevant information to Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng a long time ago, in addition to filling in more troops to block them, and deploying a few crossbows on the right flank, they I can't think of a better way.

The formation of 20,000 elite troops on the north side of the west entrance of Nanjianxia clearly separated into two steps.

Nine thousand spears and heavy armours formed a dense phalanx, and three thousand shields and halberds were deployed to the south of the spear phalanx. There were only a limited number of outstanding generals who were good at riding and shooting. Thousands of cavalry, all led by Fan Dachun, were deployed in the rear side.

Except for the twelve-time black iron chariot dragged by thirty horses each, the northern flank of the heavy spear phalanx was completely exposed.

"Jing Juejun exposed the north flank, what did it want to do?" Yue Yiran asked the elder Miao Mingcheng in a puzzled manner, "Are they inducing the Black Mountain Army to attack from the north flank, and then the cavalry of the second echelon suddenly Come here and have a decisive battle with Zhang and Kong?"

At this time, the elite war bird camp has increased to a hundred ferocious war birds, soaring above our own array on the battlefield, at any time they will go to the corner of the enemy's battle formation to slaughter the past, but with the eight thousand gathered behind. The cavalry added together, the force is still too small.

Miao Mingcheng is also very confused~IndoMTL.com~The scope of selection of pawns for the elite army is very limited. Either it is to incorporate the remnants of horse thieves, or to conquer the courageous generals from the slaves. In terms of the personal combat power of the generals, it is difficult. Those who are called elites and those who have a foundation in the cultivation of the Profound Realm are less than one-tenth. They mainly rely on better armor and tighter battle formations to make up for all this.

Although Miao Mingcheng has retreated to Dajinshan for intensive training these years, he was also a famous general who galloped through the desert 20 years ago. He also seriously considered that if he personally led the army to fight against the elite army, he must ignore it. Everything cuts in from the flanks, tearing apart the battlefield of Jing Juejun. Yes, Jing Juejun’s phalanx of spears is very strong, and Liannu is invincible, but as long as the two sides slay the pawns together, the phalanx of spears and Liannu will not be able to play much role, and they will be weaker. The elite of the army, with a fatal blow.

What's more, the number of quenched gold arrows reserved by Jing Juejun is not unlimited after all.

Although Miao Mingcheng and Yue Yiran guarded the bottom line and did not directly meet Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng to discuss war arrangements, but from the deployment on the battlefield, Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng also knew very well what they should do. They are Choosing the North Wing of the Jing Jue Army’s defense as the main attack direction, almost 60,000 soldiers and horses have gathered on this side. If you want to use the liger to fight the rabbit and crush it with all your strength, first completely tear up the Jing Jue army’s line. Shattered.
