The Sacred Ding Chapter 420: North Line Commercial Road

　　 Within Yaoshan, there are more mountains and less land. ???

Although the rock walls on both sides of 　　 Ape Jumping Gorge are extremely steep, the bottom of the valley is flat and there are stone streams flowing. It is a rare place where tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of slaves can be housed in the southern foot of Yaoshan Mountain.

　　 In addition to building defense barriers on the periphery of the Yuantiao Gorge, the land in the Yuantiao Gorge needs to be used for every inch of land. Large herds of cattle, sheep, wolves, horses and dozens of huge heads The grassland and wild elephants are all driven into the Yuantiaoxia Gorge to ensure that the enemy army will besiege it and the Iron Cliff Department can have sufficient food.

　　 Of course, the Yuantiao Gorge is extremely narrow, and the rugged terrain of Yaoshan Mountain is not conducive to pastoralism. The production and lifestyle of the Tieya tribe must be changed.

　　The herd must be changed from stocking to captivity, and it is even necessary to use the corners of the land as much as possible to grow millet millet and other crops to supplement the shortage of food; and to arrange for the iron cliff tribe as much as possible , Manyao Mountain’s picking elixir spirit grass, and finding suitable copper and iron veins near Yuantiaoxia, mining ores, curing copper and iron, ensuring that tools and armored weapons can be cast in batches.

　　 This is actually for the Tieya tribe, who entered the agricultural era from the traditional nomadic civilization in an instant.

　　Although the power of inertia is extremely huge, before they survived, after the Iron Cliff tribe moved into the Ape Leaping Gorge, they accepted this huge change in production and lifestyle without encountering much resistance.

　　The **** killing of the special golem puppets has made the Iron Cliff tribesmen who were used to living scattered by the water and weeds to live together in several designated dense villages.

　　 Of course, in order to make the Tieya tribe more adapt to the farming life, Chen Hai suggested that Tie Kun allocate 10,000 Yanzhou slaves to the Tieya tribe to assist in land reclamation, farming, construction of farm tools, and cattle and sheep.

　　 This is not conducive to directly improving the situation of Yanzhou slave slaves, but what Chen Hai really wants to do is not to rescue the tens of thousands of Yanzhou slave slaves enslaved in the depths of Yaoshan Mountain. He is currently using the existing All the conditions of the Tieya Department fully excavated the strength.

　　 Whether a tribe’s combat power is strong or not is closely related to the average cultivation level of the tribe, but in many cases, changes in the organization of production also have a decisive influence.

The 　　 Tieya tribes were forced to abandon their loose nomadic production methods and gather to live together at the southern foot of Yaoshan Mountain, which directly provided convenient conditions for the implementation of the military household system.

　　 This also fully guarantees that every adult, sturdy male and some female savages in the Iron Cliff Department will become potential soldiers that Iron Kun can directly recruit. Tie Kun had previously expected that he could recruit up to six or seven thousand soldiers from his tribe, but the Junhu Mansion could really go down. When the enemy was overwhelmed by the enemy, the Iron Cliff Department would be able to incorporate up to 13,000 brave soldiers into the army.

　　 This has not counted the Yanzhou bitter slaves who originally served in the Hexi Army, Liang Yong Army, Tianshui County soldiers, and Yanmen County soldiers and were captured to Hanhai because of the setbacks of the war.

　　 Of course, with the implementation of the military household system, the number of troops that can be recruited by the Iron Cliff Department has nearly doubled, but the sword and battle armor are extremely scarce.

　　The elite and the brave are all vigorously sinking, ordinary iron or bronze weapons can no longer wield their strength, but there is no ready-made gold-tempered iron placer along the coast of the sea, and they have not mastered the traditional method of smelting gold-tempered iron.

　　 is mostly captured through war, and some gold-hardened armors are obtained from the Hexi Army, Liang Yong Army and other Yanzhou clan forces, but the number is quite limited.

　　 Even the most elite of the Iron Cliff Department of Qian Yu, who wants to be equipped with gold-hardened armor, is fundamentally unrealistic at this stage.

　　 Although there was no movement of soldiers and horses in Black Rock City to reinforce Mount Yao, this is very annoying and frustrating, but the nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses assembled in the Kleed and Tuoba Departments were due to logistical supplies. The problem, it is estimated that it will be possible to enter Yaoshan within a month at the earliest.

　　With this month’s time, the city wall made of rammed stone mortar on the outer side of the Yuantiao Gorge will be built to a height of more than four meters. At that time, the three stone corner fortresses embedded in the city wall will initially form A defense system facing the grassland outside the southern foot of Yaoshan Mountain.

　　 And the Iron Cliff tribes who have moved into the Yuantiao Gorge by then will also be able to adapt to the new life. When the time comes to seal the enemy out of the Yuantiao Gorge, Tie Kun is still confident.

　　 However, it is not to seal the enemy out of the Monkey Leaping Gorge. Even if it is the most successful, the Iron Cliff Department must not be able to contain a large number of enemy forces. As a result, the Bailu Gorge in the west can not bear it, and it is captured by the enemy. Yabu was reduced to a lone army, and the living space at the southern foot of Yaoshan Mountain would become narrower and narrower, and eventually it would not escape the fate of being annihilated.

How can 　　 Tieyabe rely on the monkey jumping the gorge to contain more enemy troops?

　　 I can’t do anything after thinking hard for a few days, and I walked into the Blood Demon Gorge——The Blood Demon Gorge is located in the depths of the Ape Leaping Gorge. A few days ago, dozens of elite scouts from the Iron Cliff Department spotted blood and blood The demon golem was torn apart, and finally Iron Kun led his soldiers to capture the unnamed valley where the Golem Golem was captured, which was later named the Blood Demon Gorge.

　　 After the blood demon incident, Chen Hai promised to teach the secret method of controlling the blood demon puppets to the wizards of the Iron Cliff Department. The only condition is that the blood demon gorge, which is not as deep as Li Xu, be designated as his private Territory, and allowed him to select a group of craftsmen from Yanzhou Kunu, so as to facilitate the creation of elite armor and weapons for the Iron Cliff Department.

　　 Iron Kun walked into the Blood Demon Gorge and wanted to find Chen Hai. In addition to asking for a better strategy to increase the combat power of the Iron Cliff Department, he also wanted to see where the Blood Demon Golem was refining.

　　In just a few days, the Blood Demon Gorge built several wooden houses outside the cave where the blood demon puppets were hiding.

　　 The four most promising young witch-man meditators in the Tieya Department, Tie He, Tie You, Tie Mu, and Tie Fu are all sitting outside the wooden house and meditating cross-legged, practicing the visualization passed by Chen Hai Profound method, to destroy the essence of blood and blood in the body, transform into the true essence surging like a spring in the spirit veins, and finally be incorporated into the Linghai Secret Palace. In this process, it also strengthens its own spirit and soul.

　　 Although the original spirit of the blood demon puppets has not been completely shaken away, Yao Wenjin and the four Iron Cliff witches need to be re-refined with their own souls. This method of refining the flesh puppets, It hurts Yao Wenjin's own spirits a lot, so it needs some combination of profound methods that strengthen the foundation and strengthen the soul to refine the new puppet spirit step by step to be strong enough to drive the seven and three. The four thousand catties golem puppet rose.

　　Only when the newly refined puppet spirit is strong enough, can the blood demon puppet wield its combat instincts more thoroughly, and the more terrifying its combat power. Otherwise, the blood demon puppet will only move slowly and mechanically. , No matter how indestructible the body is, what combat power is there?

　　I saw Yao Wenjin drive a blood demon puppet to walk slowly. Tie Kun wondered if Yao Wenjin’s low-level cultivation skills could completely control the blood demon puppet in front of him, but Chen Hai will have another four blood after all. The demon golem was handed over to the Wuman of the Iron Cliff Department, and he couldn't say that Chen Hai was too greedy at this time.

　　 Tie Kun walked into the wooden house and saw Chen Haiji sitting on a straw mat made of grass, calculating something, dozens of scattered pictures and texts on his body, like some kind of seal symbol array, but Tie Kun did not have a chance I went to learn the art of seal talisman and watched by Chen Hai for a long time. I didn't know what he was calculating, but he was polite and did not interrupt Chen Hai's calculation.

　　 After waiting for a long time, Chen Hai recovered from the calculation. He seemed surprised to see Tie Kun by his side. Of course Tie Kun was suspicious of Chen Hai's pretense.

　　 Tie Kun talked about the difficulties encountered by Tie Yabu at this time, and asked: "Cao Gong has any way to teach me?"

　　" Tianjihou is about to agree to sell several heavy-bore crossbows to the Iron Cliff Department, but the Iron Cliff Department does not have a large supply of gold-tempered iron, unable to cast a large number of heavy crossbows, and several heavy-bore crossbows have no chance to wield power. "Chen Hai said, "But as far as I know, in addition to the large amount of hardened iron produced in Liquan, the Jingjue Capital of Western Qiang also has a certain amount of hardened iron produced. The caravan can pass through the vast grasslands and sand seas and enter the Jingjue Duhu Mansion. With the friendship between Tie Ye and the gods and his wife, Jingjue’s wife may be able to buy quenched gold iron from Jingjue Duhu Fu..."

　　 "This is the reason why the gods let Cao Gong get into Yanzhou bitter slaves and found me?" Tie Kun asked.

　　 Chen Hai calmly faced Tie Kun’s aggressive gaze. Although Tie Kun said that he was unsympathetic to his old master, he still wanted to protect the interests of the Tieya Ministry first, so he and Yao Wenjin paid back Will continue to cover up as Cao Wen and Cao Jin, and will not directly reveal his true identity for the time being.

　　 However, Tie Kun puts the interests of the Iron Cliff Department first, and that does not prevent the cooperation and benefit of the Iron Cliff Department from being more thorough.

　　"If the iron cliff caravan transported three-quarters of the gold-hardened iron from the Jingjue Duhu Mansion, it would eventually arrive at Tongkou City. I believe this is the two gods letting my uncle and nephew An important reason for coming to assist Tieye." Chen Hai said.

　　 At present, due to restrictions in Hexi, the eight-level hardened iron material transported from Lucheng into the Tianji Academy is only 30,000 or 40,000 catties per month, which is far from enough for Chen Hai to cast heavy-bore crossbows and Tianji chariots in Hengshan. The demand for celestial weapons must immediately open up new transportation channels outside of Hexi.

　　 This is also one of Chen Hai’s main goals for this trip to the north.

　　The grasslands on the west bank of the vast sea are full of demons and tribes belonging to the Blackstone Khanate. Only the Iron Cliff caravan belonging to the Blackstone Khanate can secret the gold-quenched iron from Lucheng from the northern line. It was shipped out, and it neither alarmed Hexi nor other tribal forces in the Blackstone Khanate.

　　 "Is the Iron Cliff Department only a quarter of the hardened iron as a reward?" Tie Kun asked in deep thought.

　　 "Master Tie thought that it would be very rare to transport gold-hardened iron from Jingjue Duhufu, so he felt that a quarter of the amount was used as a reward, and it was not worth the risk?" Chen Hai asked with a smile.

　　 "How much should that be?" Tie Kun asked.

　　"How much it can have depends on the caravan organized by the Iron Cliff Department. The maximum amount of gold-hardened iron that can be transported at one time can be hidden from the eyeliner of other tribes, but no matter how small the amount is, it is enough for the Iron Cliff Department. Become the overlord of the land near Yaoshan." Chen Hai said.

　　"The territory of the Blackstone Khanate is not peaceful. Even if the secret of the gold-hardened iron does not leak out, the caravans of the Iron Cliff Division frequently appear in the depths of the grassland, which will most likely cause the greed of other tribes. Shi can not tell how much combat power, go to protect the caravan." Tie Kun said with a sigh.

　　"As long as Tieye is willing to do this, not only the caravan’s guards, but also three to five hundred elite soldiers from the Longxiang camp disguised as Yanzhou bitter slaves—in addition, the battles, Longxiang Camp also captured more than 4,000 barbarians, and Tie Ye can also redeem them in batches to supplement the lack of combat power of the Iron Cliff..." Chen Hai said.

　　 The redemption of captives has always been carried out in secret between Yanzhou and the Hanhai tribes, and the barbarians captured in the Longxiang camp are mostly from the Mengwu tribes, but as long as the Tieya tribe funded the redemption When they come back, these prisoners of war cannot go back to their original tribes.

　　 Either these tribes paid the same or even more ransom to the Iron Cliff Department~IndoMTL.com~ or it was these prisoners who served the Iron Cliff Department for decades and waited until they were old and weak before returning to the original tribe. .

　　 This is also the rule on the grassland, and it won’t be trampled on at will just because the obscure part is stronger.

　　 "What if Iron Cliff wants to build a celestial weapon?" Tie Kun asked.

　　 "Maybe we can hire a few craftsmen from the Heavenly Secret Academy to help the Iron Cliff Department build celestial weapons, and we can also teach organ puppetry..." Chen Hai said.

　　"The Heavenly Secret Learning Palace will pass the Heavenly Secret Warfare to the Hanhai, will you not be afraid of touching the anger?" Tie Kun asked.

　　"The secret map of the celestial weapon has been spread throughout the Yanzhou lords. Who can confirm that the celestial weapon was passed to Hanhai by the gods? Tie Ye was convinced that the Blackstone Khanate and the Tuoba tribe did not master the celestial war The manufacturing drawings of the machinery?" Chen Hai asked with a smile, "Furthermore, Tie Ye is based on Mount Yao. He can threaten Tianshui County if he can go south in the future. The Shenhou will be more stable in Tianshui County. You don’t need it. Worry, just because of the anger of the people, the city of Yanjing will be able to take the gods, you just need to know that the gods are not unfavorable to Tieyabu."

　　 Yaoshan is located on the south bank of the Hanhai Sea. The straight-line distance from Yucheng Ridge is actually only more than nine thousand miles, which is more than one and a half shorter than the distance from Yucheng Ridge to Heishicheng. It’s just that after the beginning of spring every year, Tonghe As for major rivers, the southern ice layer melts first, causing these northward rivers to flood every year in the beginning of spring, and the road is blocked, making the distance between Mount Yao and Yukou City seem very close.

　　 Of course, even if the flood is flooding, even if the tens of thousands or tens of thousands of troops are not good enough, but the distance between Yuchengling and Yaoshan is thousands of miles, after the beginning of spring, there is no one that can provide enough money. A hundred-person business trip came out of the road. 8
