The Sacred Ding Chapter 338: Eastbound
In order to avoid exposing the clues, Yao Slaves were first beaten to Ganquan Mountain. Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er left Liquan two days later and crossed the peak of Qintong Mountain to the north into Yong County.
Yong County is located in the north of Qintong Mountain and the northwest of Jiyang County. The refugees swept Jiyang in the early years, and Yong County was also severely affected. However, after the battle of Huangmoyuan, Miao decisively sent troops from Beiliang County to Yong County. County, blocked the passage of the Black Yan Army from entering north, and Yong County was considered not to have been looted by the second wave of war.
As one of the nine great kings of Yanzhou, the Miao clan was the first-class clan in Beiliang County before Miao Fengshan took over the Xuyang Sect; Miao Fengshan was on the top of the list, and the Yanzhou sects respected him For the Northern Territory Heavenly Sovereign, it has been more than 180 years, and the Miao family's power in the Northern Territory counties has also reached its peak.
There are tens of thousands of children of the Miao clan and Xuyang Sect, all over the counties of the Northern Territory. The Miao clan sent troops to the Yong County this time, it was said that he had eaten this piece of fat in his stomach, and never vomited it out again. The truth.
The clans of Yong County were also severely damaged during the war. After the fiasco of Huang Miyuan, the eight clans of Jing County concentrated their resources to build the Xiyuan Army, mainly to guard against the threat of the Black Yan Army to Yanjing. . Everyone can only watch as the disciples of the Miao clan and Xuyang Sect have occupied nearly half of the official positions in the yamen and local armed forces in the county of Yong County in just three or four years.
Miao's tentacles extended to every corner of Yong County.
Even if they did not experience repeated wars like Jiyang, Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er borrowed the way from Yongjing to see the hills and gully of the countryside. The village was damaged and the smoke was sparse, due to the war and the pre-war and post-war The famine that lasted for nearly a decade has reduced the population of Yong County by nearly half.
After the Miao clan took control of Yongjun, due to the changes of the demons and tribes in the north, they were unable to continue to send troops from Yongjun to the south and east to the Black Yan army. On the contrary, they had to transfer supplies, soldiers and horses from Yongjun to the north. The Wuyin Mountains in the region gathered to defend against countless monsters from the south.
Although the people's livelihood is withered in Yong County, it is truly a tragedy that the bones are exposed in the wild when the people enter the northeast of Jiyang County from Yong County.
Everywhere you can see rusty spears and broken halberds, rolling human heads, rotting corpses buried under ice and snow, and large groups of vultures, crows and other scavenging birds covering the sky. I thought they were stepping in. Purgatory on earth.
The remaining young and strong labors were either threatened by the Black Yan army, or they were recruited by the Xiyuan army to serve as civil servants. Every time Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er pass through the village, they may still see dozens of women, children, old and weak. Extending, but the flames of hope struggling to survive cannot be seen in their numb eyes, they are skinny.
The farming was completely destroyed, and a few iron tools were taken away to cast armor. These extremely weak villagers can only pick wild herbs to satisfy their hunger. I don't know how many people can survive the spring famine of the coming year.
Some ferocious vultures and crows hovered over the village, and from time to time they flew down and pecked at the villagers who had not yet died; Chen Hai saw a lot of **** corpses along the way, just like this innocent death.
"You take compassion for the people's livelihood. What do you feel when you see this scene?" Seeing Chen Hai standing on the top of the cliff watching a household that was completely dead and covered by heavy snow, no footprints could be seen The village was silent for a long time, and Ning Chan'er couldn't help but ridicule.
Chen Hai wears a bronze face on his face, and he can't see the change in expression, but the pupils that look like thunder and lightning stared at Ning Chan'er's already plain face, and said:
"Although the disaster of the sword soldiers is not my wish, why do the killings made by the Scarlet Eyebrows teach me? Is it possible that every sword soldier made by the Heavenly Secret Learning Palace and the people killed will be counted as those of the Heavenly Secret Learning Palace Sin is not possible? Then before the Tianji chariot and the Tianji crossbow came out, Yanzhou did not have the battle of millions of corpses; before the Tianji chariot and the Tianji crossbow, there would be no heads of the Black Yan army before the army? If Le Yi doesn’t enter Jiyang, he will be captured in Qintongshan? Will he not kill people in Jingxiang, Nanxiang and other places?"
Chen Hai knew in his heart that without his hint to Le Yi, Gong Liang, Le Yi and others might not have thought of crossing the peak of the northeast foothills of Qintong Mountain and entering Huang Miyuan to smash the tiger's armies led by Ning Zhize. The war in Yang, Heyang, and Lichuan counties will not be so brutal, but he will not feel that he needs to bear any responsibility because of this.
Don’t lead Gongliang’s troops to transfer to Jiyang County. They fought to the death with the refugees in Leiyang Valley. Even if they could barely win, they were defeated. After that, Emperor Yitian, Xiyuan Army and Prince Edward won Dan and Hu Ben Army. The contradiction between the conflicts will intensify in advance, the tragedy of the war will be staged in Yanjing from beginning to end, and there will never be the temporary peace that is obtained today; and then the entire Yanzhou clan forces will most likely be involved and become A great war that cannot be controlled at all, and is very likely to sweep the entire Yanzhou, and even introduce forces outside of Yanzhou.
Of course, Chen Hai will not feel that the large-scale war has been restricted to Heyang, and the situation in Yanzhou may be further chaotic.
The power of the Tianji Academy is still too insignificant, and it is far from enough to interfere with the overall trend of Dayan. I don’t know that there will be tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, or billions of ordinary people who will die, but Chen Hai still I don't think he has any responsibility for this.
It can even be said that he has been in the layout over the past few years and has worked with the Nine Clan to promote the rapid popularization of war weapons such as the Tianji Chariot and the Tianji Crossbow among the Nine Clan. The new improvement of combat power on the original basis seems to stimulate the ambitions of the nine races, but on the other hand, the nine great clans can become the hegemon of the dominance as soon as possible in their respective areas, which is actually extremely capable. Greatly reduced the duration of the war.
As far as Hexi and Hechuan are concerned, whether they have been fighting for a hundred years and fighting uninterruptedly, or simply adding to the flames and helping Hexi to annex Hechuan as soon as possible, which is more beneficial to the people's livelihood, Chen Hai naturally chose the latter.
Since Yanzhou is destined to fall into disorderly chaos, ending the disorderly chaos of Yanzhou before Rakshasa invades it is some of what Chen Hai has deliberately wanted to do these years.
Chen Hai couldn't bear all the tragic conditions that Ji Yang had seen, but it would not change his mind.
Ning Chan'er killed people like a numb, let alone the horrible situation in front of her. Seeing it didn't shake Chen Hai's mind, but was taught by him, but she just curled her lips and stopped talking.
Heyang comes out of Jiyang. The entire Heyang County, nearly two thousand miles in vertical and horizontal directions, was a battlefield that attracted the attention of all forces of Yanzhou and even outside Yanzhou at this time.
The Xiyuan Army and the Eleventh Road Qinwang Army generally proceeded from the direction of Wuchuanguan and Qinglongyu, advancing from west to east, and attacked the Black Yan Army in Heyang from the west.
Ying Wang Ying is described as the supreme commander of this line of soldiers and horses. There are more than 600,000 elite generals and soldiers, and the number of auxiliary troops and civilians requisitioned from Beijing, Jiyang and other places is as many as two or three. million.
The Tiger Ben Army and the other 16th Route King Qin Army, mainly from Lichuan County and Ganning to the east, entered Heyang County from the southeast and from the east to the west and from the south to the north to oppress the Black Yan Army.
This line of soldiers and horses is based on the prince winning the Dan, and the elite generals are nearly 700,000, and the scale of auxiliary soldiers and civilian courage is even larger.
At this time, the Black Swallow Army formed a defense line at Ganquan Mountain in the northwest of Heyang and Songpanling in the middle. They wanted to resist the two soldiers and horses mainly composed of the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger and Ben Army, and ensure the northern part of Heyang County and the geese. The site of Door County.
After the Huang Miyuan victory, the Black Swallow Army's strength was once at its peak, incorporating remnants and hundreds of thousands of armored and sword soldiers discarded by the Tiger and Cardinal Army. They had two to three hundred thousand elite combat power, and then swept all the way to the east. Swallowing heaven and earth, Jiyang, Heyang, northern Lichuan, Yanmen, big and small clans fled or surrendered, and in Yandu City, the Tiger Army and Yanmen, there were hundreds of thousands of elite fighters who surrendered. Ten thousand tigers and wolves are fierce soldiers, whether they are the Xiyuan Army, the Tiger Ben Army, or the Miao's Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, they can only stick to the danger and dare not rush to try the Black Yan Army's front.
However, even if the Chimei Sect is based on the defeated generals of the Taoist Temple, it has been quietly working for seven or eighty years, and its strength may not be under the top sects of Xuyang Sect and Taiwei Sect. However, the foundation is after all Unable to fight against the clan forces in Yanzhou.
At this time, the Black Yan Army is known to have a million elite soldiers in Ganquan Mountain and Songpanling, but whether it is in Ganquan Mountain or Songpanling, the strategic points on the periphery have almost fallen into the Xiyuan Army or the Tiger Ben Army. Hands.
In addition to an elite group of the Black Yan Army in Yanmen County, the main force is almost encircled in Heyang County.
The Ganquan Mountain where Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er are going at this time~IndoMTL.com~ is the core defense line of the Black Yan Army in the northwest of Hayang County. With a range of nearly a thousand miles, you can see the patrol post of the West Garden Army moving around.
The sky and sharp-eyed birds are watching over the earth. Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er can only go to Ganquan Mountain step by step under the cover of the valley or the shady trees.
The closer you are to Ganquan Mountain, the denser the guards of Xiyuan Army and Zhuluqin Wangjun, and the cultivation of scouts and guards are getting deeper and deeper. Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er groped around Ganquan Mountain. In three days, I saw Ganquan Mountain to the west, south, southeast, northwest and other directions. All the dangerous mountains and gully that can be called strategically important places were firmly occupied by the 11th Road Qin Wangjun, and the British King Yingshu personally led the West Garden. The 300,000 elite troops set up a large camp in Guo Guo Ling, about a hundred or three to forty miles southwest of Ganquan Mountain.
Heyang has a flat terrain, and the Ganquan Ridge, which stretches for five or six hundred miles, is considered a great mountain range. Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er sneak from Guoziling to Ganquanling, and you can see countless camps in the mountains from a distance. One million soldiers and horses of the West Route of the Black Yan Army, stationed by the Tianshi Gong Liang himself.
The reason why Yingshu Yingshu did not directly attack Ganquan Mountain, except for the soldiers and horses of the Black Yan Army on the West Road, was the troops and horses composed of the elites of the refugees who defeated Ning Zhize in Huang Miyuan. In addition, after a surprise attack on Qin Tongguan, the Tiangang Thunder Prison Array, which was taken away by Wei Yuqi in Leiyang Valley, was deployed in the depths of Ganquan Mountain
