The Sacred Ding Chapter 340: Le Yi

(Continue to update today)

Walking into Pine Creek Valley, Chen Hai understood why Ning Chan'er said something was wrong.

Songxi Valley is a Jiashi ditch between two hills to the west of Ganquan Mountain. There is a rocky stream flowing out from the middle peak. There are more than a hundred ancient pine trees growing in the valley, so it is called Songxi Valley. .

The Pine Creek Valley is not deep. There is a black swallow army guard on the left side of the hill, which can monitor the movement within seven or eight miles around, while there are only a few simple huts in the valley, like entering the mountain in the early years. Temporary habitat for hunters and medicinal farmers who hunt or gather herbs.

At this time, the mountain was covered by snow, but the stream was not frozen, and gurgling down, Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er walked into the valley, and they saw Le Yi with seven or eight veterans holding a crude fishing net and standing. Shrimp fishing in the knee-deep stream.

After the Huang Miyuan victory, Le Yi has always been one of the most core generals of the Black Yan Army, and has always mastered the most elite combat power of the Black Yan Army. He has fought in Heyang, Lichuan and other places, and has repeatedly made achievements. Such core generals are naturally to be protected most closely to prevent possible assassinations.

Although Songxi Valley is also in the deep ridge of Ganquan Mountain, it is very close to Zhongfeng Base Camp, and there are also strong defense lines formed by the black Yan army’s layers of guards and mountain cities. It is relatively safer , But as long as the Black Yan Army does not build a high wall or use a large defense formation to cover the entire Ganquan Mountain, the scouts and assassins in the Xiyuan Army who are good at hiding their tracks can still touch the depths of Ganquan Mountain. In the ridge.

The high-ranking generals of the Black Yan Army, without strict protection, walking in the deep ridges of Ganquan Ridge, are not without the possibility of being assassinated.

Le Yi in front of him definitely doesn't look like he's being tightly protected, and at such a tense moment of battle, Le Yi doesn't look like he's busy with military affairs and every day.

Chen Hai’s original plan was to find Le Yi first, use Le Yi’s position in the Black Yan Army, and hope to do something within his power, so that the Black Yan Army can minimize casualties and the main force can be entangled from the current situation. Withdrawing from the Heyang battlefield, he won't completely hurt his vitality here.

Walking into Songxi Valley and seeing the scene before him, Chen Hai rejected the original plan, Chao Ning Chan'er shook his head, and decided not to reveal his true identity to Le Yi for the time being.

""

Le Yi was also surprised to see Ning Chan'er and Chen Hai walking into Songxi Valley.

His accident did not mean that he did not notice the brief encounter between Chen Hai and Granny Crane just now. After all, the place where the encounter just now was about 20 miles away from Songxi, separated by several hills, Le Yi could not have noticed. Even in such a short period of time, the Black Yanjun’s senior leaders in Ganquan Mountain knew that the Great Heavenly Master had sent another disciple to work in Ganquan Mountain. He was wondering why Ning Chan'er brought Chen Hai to come to him directly?

Although Le Yi was accepted as a direct disciple by the great celestial master Gong Qing after the victory of Huang Miyuan, in the past few years it was Shi Shu Gong Liang who taught him the profound methods of the Taoist Temple and guided him in his practice. The son is regarded as the brothers and sisters who worshipped the same master, but the relationship is not close.

Ning Chan'er's temperament is already perverted enough, and now there is another ugly slave who has a more weird temper. She almost vomited blood when she first entered the mountain, and the high level of the Black Yan army was afraid to avoid it. Junior brother, Le Yi subconsciously didn't want to have anything to do with these two people.

"The battle situation is so urgent, why can Senior Brother Le be so leisurely, here to catch fish and shrimps for fun?" Ning Chan'er asked with a smile, walked over and glanced at a large-armed eel caught in the bamboo basket. , The fine broken teeth are like sawtooths, hideous and ferocious, they can be called monsters, but Le Yi and the others took a red marrow copper wire to tie their heads and couldn't struggle in the bamboo basket.

""Le Yi glanced at the bamboo basket, did not explain why he was so leisurely in Songxi Valley, only said: "This big rice eel can make a good meal, if you don't dislike it, just stay and enjoy it together. Brother, I will catch the wind and dust for you."

Chen Hai had contact with Le Yi when he first entered Yulong Mountain. At that time, Le Yi was just a silent protector of Lu's. Later, he took refuge in Li Xianghai's command and stayed with Li Yulin for many years. .

In fact, Chen Hai didn't realize that Le Yi would be the eyeliner of the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect who had hidden Hexi for many years before throwing out a few transcripts of military training as bait in Leiyang Valley.

Le Yi feels very calm and silent. In addition, he has been an orphan adopted by the Lu family since he was a child, and has been practicing in the Lu family. Who would have thought that he would be a spy of the Scarlet Eyebrow Sect?

At this time, Le Yi felt more calm and silent. Although he had only realized his cultivation in the middle stage of the Aperture Realm, he stood there without saying a word, but it felt like a mountain.

This means that although Le Yi took the Nine Turns Jinye Pill to break through and step into the Aperture Realm, there is a small flaw in his practice, but after experiencing many things, he has participated in the true meaning of Tao. Enlightenment has reached an unprecedented height.

The understanding of the true meaning of the Tao, if you really don't shut yourself up in the aura of the cave, you can close your car.

Although Le Yi showed the indifference that a stranger shouldn't get close, Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er still followed Le Yi with shy faces and walked into Songxi Valley.

The eighteen drug slaves who had been to Ganquan Mountain before, all rushed to Songxi Valley to find Ning Chan'er to meet.

After Ning Chan'er left Yunmengze, she went to Ganquan Mountain first, and then went to see Chen Hai from Ganquan Mountain to Liquan, but she had stayed in Ganquan Mountain for a few days before, leaving most of the medicine slaves in Ganquan Mountain. Not knowing what happened, Le Yi suddenly became so leisurely.

Le Yi didn’t want to say, but Yao Slaves all came to join together. Chen Hai and Ning Chan’er still knew from Yao Slave’s mouth that the Beilu Daying and Dong Shou’s had led to Ning Chan’er before returning to Ganquan Mountain. The king army of Hexi Qin once had a battle. Although the Beilu camp had heavy casualties, he also captured the young Hexi general Li Yulin.

After Le Yi learned the news, thinking of the old feelings, he rushed to the Beilu camp to release Li Yulin privately to the camp of the king army of Hexi Qin. This aroused the anger of the heavenly master Gong Liang and others and lifted Le Yi’s military power. It made him think behind closed doors in Pine Creek Valley.

Of course, Le Yi, as one of the most core generals of the Black Yan Army, will be punished if he releases himself to the enemy, but all military power will be taken away. There must be deeper factors, but this is a short time for medicine slaves. It is difficult to observe inside.

Le Yi personally slaughtered the rice field eels, which were about to become climatic, for a banquet. Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er strolled in the Songxi Valley. They saw a new empty space behind a few simple huts. A dozen people followed Le Yi to Song. The craftsman who had thought behind closed doors in the valley was assembling a puppet war beast with a weird appearance and a giant scorpion appearance.

Several craftsmen also know that Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er are extraordinary identities, and Le Yi did not order to guard, so he did not stop, and stood by Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er to watch.

Chen Hai can now be said to be a master-level figure in organ puppet studies. Standing by and watching for a while, he knows that such a giant scorpion puppet war beast, which is based on the pavilion-level heavenly machine chariot, is to adapt to the rugged mountains. Battle for terrain.

In addition to the original three pairs of road wheels, the giant scorpion puppet war beast also has four extra stretchable legs and feet that can be extended. This is to directly move forward instead of the road wheels after entering complex terrain; The scorpion tail, which is more than ten meters long, is raised high, and it is actually a shooting platform that can tolerate five or six elite soldiers.

In the previous pavilion-class celestial chariot, four shooting holes were located in the bottom compartment of the chariot, close to the ground, and the shooting angle was greatly restricted; at this time, Le Yi asked the craftsman to make a giant scorpion puppet War Beast, a long scorpion tail shooting platform was added, and the shooting angle limit was opened at once.

Of course, this giant scorpion puppet war beast also has big shortcomings. For example, the internal structure is much more complicated than that of the ordinary pavilion-class celestial chariot, and the long scorpion tail shooting platform must be kept in the violent bumps. Stability and extremely high requirements for materials, these are bound to greatly increase the overall weight and the difficulty of manufacturing, but in any case, the scorpion puppet war beast in front of us is an excellent modification to the pavilion-class celestial chariot. try.

Ning Chan'er gave Chen Hai a sideways glance, and the implication was to complain that Le Yi was also infatuated with organ puppetry under his influence.

Chen Hai shrugged, thinking that not so much that Le Yi was influenced by him, it was better to say that Le Yi truly understood the essence of thought contained in the military training record.

On the earth, military strategists govern the army. Probably no one has ever thought about the possibility of unlimitedly increasing the combat effectiveness of generals. Therefore, in enhancing the combat effectiveness of the army, besides paying attention to the iron-like military discipline, it is more to make it as much as possible. More and more sophisticated weapons will arm ordinary soldiers.

In the history of Yanzhou, the true military strategists with brilliant achievements also attach great importance to the combat potential of wielding ordinary generals; the magic weapon spirit sword can only be controlled by the disciples of Xuanxiu, if ordinary generals can have a substantial combat power Ascension, mechanism puppetry is a direction that is very worth exploring.

In the present situation, it can only be said that Le Yi is walking on the right path. Coupled with his true meaning of Tao, he has a far deeper understanding than others. Chen Hai thinks that in time, Le Yi might be able to truly Become a master-level figure.

"This Scorpio chariot was just what I thought of on a whim in Songxi Valley. I didn't have anything to do, I tried to build it, but it's basically useless," Le Yi walked out at this time. , Seeing Chen Hai and Ning Chan'er staring at the giant scorpion puppet war beast in a trance, explaining why he made this game in Songxi Valley, they couldn't help but open their mouths and asked, "You go to Liquan to see Chen Hai this time. What can you gain?"

Since Ning Chan'er claimed to have seen ugly slaves serving Master Gong Qing in Yunmengze, Le Yi has reason to believe that the "ugly slaves" also went to Liquan with Ning Chan'er to meet Chen Hai. From Liquan back to Ganquan Mountain together.

There are not many people who know Ning Chan'er's true identity in Gan Quanshan. Le Yi is one of them. He knows better than anyone the predicament the Black Yan Army is facing in Heyang County.

Even if Le Yi knew that the possibility of receiving assistance from Liquan this time was extremely slim, he had a glimmer of expectation in his heart.

Ning Chan'er glanced at Chen Hai, and said lazily to Le Yi: "What can I gain? The pictures of the township-level celestial chariot, the wind and flame airship, etc. are not top secret in the celestial science palace, I do I came back with a few sets, but can Gan Quanshan be able to make it at this time?"

When it comes to strength, it will ultimately involve the control of resources.

In the past few years, the Black Yan Army has controlled the northern part of Heyang County and the entire territory of Yanmen County. After the old bureaucracy and clan system of Jiangfu County were destroyed, they also sent a large number of Officials, restoration of the local government and county political system, sorting out civil affairs, farming, post roads, water conservancy, and hoarding, etc., have also been effective, but the previous wars destroyed the production system in these places too severely. Years will be able to ease off.

At the height of the Black Swallow Army, there were as many as three million soldiers and horses, and it was necessary to draw an unimaginable huge amount of resources from Yanmen, Heyang and other counties to maintain such a huge weaponry.

In the beginning, the clan lords of Yanmen, Heyang and other counties could not be moved away after hundreds of years of accumulation. There are still some old bottoms that can be excavated, but they have been supported for two years. After the old bottoms are almost exhausted, the new production system Having not recovered yet, Le Yi, as the core general of the Black Yan Army, already felt that this situation was unsustainable.

Even more than two years ago, they had won many victories in the battle against the Tiger Ben Army in the southern part of Heyang, but they could not reverse this trend.

This situation has not revealed a major problem for the time being, but after half a year, Yanmen County relapsed into a large-scale famine, so that the supply of grain and grass to the Black Yan army had to be reduced.

Of course, there are outstanding people of the eight ethnic groups in Beijing, who quickly noticed the reversal of the situation. It was after that, the Xiyuan army really broke out from the dangerous pass of the Yanji turn; and the king of Zhuluqin also changed In the past, the state of soy sauce has become active in finding fighters in Heyang, Lichuan and other places.

Although there has been no large-scale warfare since then, the decline of the Black Yan army will inevitably be exposed.

In terms of war weapon manufacturing, there are no large-scale gold-tempered placers in Yanmen and Heyang. If you want to obtain a large amount of gold-tempered iron, you can only use the traditional method of infiltration and refinement. Rare gold and iron such as iron and black placer gold are infiltrated into fine wrought iron to obtain different grades of hardened gold iron.

Before the war, the clan lords of Yanmen, Heyang, Lichuan and other counties could obtain five to six hundred thousand kilograms of hardened iron per year through the method of infiltration, but after the Black Yan Army took over these areas, Even if priority is given to the restoration of smelting and casting industries, the annual output of quenched iron is only restored to about 300,000 catties.

This is only one percent of Juquanling's annual output.

In the past, the Black Yan Army was able to obtain millions of jin of hardened iron from Liquan through various channels, but at this time, the Xiyuan Army, the Eighth Clan of Beijing County, and the Ninth Great Ruler all stepped up to the northeast of Qin Tongshan. Lu's blockade, without enough gold and iron input, Ning Chan'er brought back more and more powerful weapon drawings, which would not help the Black Yan Army in the current crisis.

A township-level Tianji chariot requires seven to eighty thousand catties of eight-level gold-hardened iron, which means that the Black Yan army does nothing. With the existing output of gold-hardened iron, it can only reach the sky every year. Build two township-level heavenly chariots.

At this time, Le Yi tried to manufacture this Scorpio chariot in Songxi. Because of the lack of sufficient gold-hardened iron, it could only be replaced by ordinary fine-forged iron. However, the strength of the fine wrought iron is so different that Chen Hai wonders whether the scorpion tail that is so big will be directly shattered by the bumpy terrain before it actually enters the battlefield.

Le Yi built the Scorpio chariot. He should find something to do for himself after he was relieved of his military power. It was an experiment. He didn't expect to have the resources to build a Scorpio chariot that could actually go on the battlefield.

"On the Tianji Academy, is there an improved picture scroll for the Tianji Crossbow?" Le Yi asked.

Don’t talk about the township-level celestial chariots, even the pavilion-level light-duty celestial chariots were luxury items for the Black Yan army at this time. Currently, only a few resources and craftsmen can be concentrated to create more secrets. Liannu; Le Yi is also more concerned about whether there is an improved version of Tianji Liannu.

Ning Chan'er spread out her hands, she wanted to grab Chen Hai by the neck more than Le Yi, and asked if there would be a more powerful crossbow coming out.

Chen Hai stood on the side and folded his chest and said, "Even if the Tianji Academy can build a stronger Tianji warrior crossbow, it will definitely be the priority for the Xiyuan Army to obtain equipment. Brother Le is still lucky?"

""Le Yi smiled embarrassingly. With the lessons of Granny Crane, he was not interested in inquiring the detailed life experience of "Ugly Slave". After all, no one knew how much Master and Shishu Gongliang had buried in the clans of the counties. Eyeliner, Ning Chan'er led him over, there shouldn't be any problem with his identity.

He also knows that it is not realistic that he will continue to count on the Heavenly Secret Academy to continue to assist the Black Yan Army for no reason. The Heavenly Secret Academy can really create even more powerful crossbows, and it is indeed impossible for the Black Yan Army to get it first. Hand, thinking of this, he felt that the future of the Black Yan Army was gloomy again.

The arrow box is similar to a magnetic shooter. At this time, Chen Hai is trying to deduce a more powerful magnetic arrow talisman barrier, and there is also a higher-level seal in the snake scale book for reference. For reference, but the real difficulty in upgrading the Heavenly Mystery Crossbow is not only to be able to throw a larger gold quenched crossbow to a few tens or even tens of miles away, but also to ensure that the thrown gold quenched arrow is large enough. The lethality.

Otherwise, throwing a gold-hardened arrow that is several meters long and resembling a giant spear to a few miles away will not make much sense except to attack a fixed large target.

For such a long distance in the air, not to mention the Xuanxiu and Wuxiu who have cultivation bases, even ordinary elite soldiers, watching the golden arrow thrown from far, can have ample time to avoid it.

Long-range heavy artillery on the earth, shells have a killing radius.

On the earth, after the artillery shell touches the target, the filling warhead explodes, using broken shrapnel to carry out surface damage. In the Jinyan states, how does he achieve this?

For the real upgrade of the Heavenly Mystery Crossbow, the key point is to create a gold-hardened arrow with a certain killing radius that can impact and sputter in all directions after touching the target.

In this way, each such gold-hardened arrow is like a thousand-edged sword talisman, which can tear through the enemy's defense formation and throw it directly into the enemy's formation. Or kill a large number of enemies in the enemy's city, it can truly be regarded as the most powerful weapon on the battlefield.

At this moment, an old man came over and said that the yellow banquet was ready, and invited them to eat in the house.

Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er, and Le Yi had a banquet in a hut; the medicine slaves and a dozen old pawns and craftsmen under Le Yi also made up three tables in the house on the east side.

During the dinner, Ning Chan'er talked to Le Yi about her experience in Liquan and some of the latest combat weapons trial-produced by the Tianji Academy. When Le Yi heard the Tianji Academy in the wind and flame airship, his eyes were also bright. , But the worry on the face is heavier,

Chen Hai doesn't need to ask, thinking that Le Yi should also clearly realize that this battle can't go on.

At this time, it is the logistics supply that restricts the Xiyuan Army.

In the eastern part of Heyang County, the Xiyuan Army, the Eleventh Road King Army, and many auxiliary soldiers and civilians, as many as 1.5600,000 people, the food and grass supplies have to be transported from the northern part of Beijing, and they have died four or five thousand. Miles away.

Even if the Taiwei's Mansion used tens of thousands of institutional puppets and a large number of cattle, horses and camels to transport food and supplies, it was still very difficult.

Therefore, the Xiyuan Army and the Eleventh Route Qinwang Army are currently encircling Ganquan Mountain, but they are not eager to launch a large-scale offensive. This is mainly because they worry that once there is a problem with the supply of food and grass, and the offensive is set Will fall into a dilemma.

Chen Hai did not meet directly with Yingshu King Yingshu, but he had to admit that Yingshu King Yingshu or a master-level soldier behind him were planning and controlling the progress of the entire war. Instead of him, since he already had a comparative advantage, he naturally didn't need to use risky strategies, and he used upright soldiers to advance and squeeze the Black Yan Army's living space.

This is also the most correct and hardest tactic to crack.

Wait for the Fengyan Airship to be incorporated into the Xiyuan Army, the Xiyuan Army will solve the bottleneck of logistical supplies, and the tactical choices will become more flexible. At that time, the Black Yan Army will become more uncomfortable fighting in Heyang County. .

A Wind and Flame airship, with a load of 200,000 jin, seems to be equivalent to the carrying capacity of a hundred organ puppets, but the Wind and Flame airship travels one to two thousand miles a day and is not hindered by the Guanshan River. The advancement rate is twenty to thirty times that of the mechanism puppet beast, and the reuse rate is much higher than that of the mechanism puppet.

Once the Xiyuan Army has more than four or five Fengyan airships, the bottleneck of logistical supplies will be completely broken.

Although the Tianji Academy will not build the Fengyan airship for the Xiyuan Army in the short term, the Taiwei Mansion and the generals do not seem to realize the importance of the Fengyan airship for the time being, and they did not send people to the Tianji Academy for negotiation. The purchase of blueprints, but Chen Hai believes that as long as Tianji Academy builds the first Fengyan airship, Ying Wang Ying mentioned that his group of generals will immediately realize the importance of Fengyan airship as long as they are not stupid. Purchase picture scrolls from the Tianji Academy and arrange for them to be produced by Ink Armor or Arsenal.

Of course, before the Mojiasi can produce enough wind-flame airships, the Xiyuan Army will be more likely to choose the right and stand still~IndoMTL.com~ is not in a hurry to find the main force of the Black Yan Army for the final battle, so as to give The Black Yan army won the time window to withdraw north.

"You go to Liquan at this time, does Chen Hai have greater ambitions?" After a long silence, Le Yi suddenly asked Ning Chan'er.

Ning Chan'er glanced at Chen Hai, and said ambiguously to Le Yi: "Perhaps, but it might not be revealed so early?"

"He has established himself in Liquan now, who can predict this?" Le Yi said in his heart that Chen Hai had greater ambitions.

Ning Chan'er said calmly: "How do you persuade those old guys to agree with you to lead the crowd to go to the palace?"

"In this situation, a strong army must go west to Qintongguan to threaten Yanjing, in order to overcome the siege of Heyang!" Le Yi said resolutely.

"Chen Hai is sitting in front of you. Ask him if he is happy to do it, right?" Ning Chan'er looked over and directly exposed Chen Hai's identity

Chen Hai hated the headache secretly, but he didn't expect that he would have counted, but he would fall into the pit that Ning Chan'er dug for him.
