Chapter 148: Mutation
In the later period, Chen Hai began to arrange a large number of highly confrontational battle array drills in addition to daily drills. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the consumption is even more terrifying, at this time, in addition to the need to replenish a large amount of meat and pills that can strengthen the muscles and bones, the armor also begins to appear a large amount of loss.
It is inevitable that some casualties will occur during the high-intensity confrontation drills, and a large amount of medicine and even bereavement expenses have become daily expenses.
However, as the new army of the Seventh Capital became more and more powerful, there were more and more supplies through these dark channels brought by Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji, and after the autumn, there were quite 10,000 Jingyuan Dan's muscle-strengthening and bone strengthening cultivation resources sent in every day.
There were even a large number of high-grade materials such as blood-veined steel and red pulp copper secretly transported, so that Chen Hai could take advantage of the relatively complete craftsman system of the baggage camp and the Taohuawu foundry to gradually improve the quality of the armor and combat weapons of the seventh capital.
Armor and weapons, although the Taiwei Mansion will pull out all the hair, and there is no deduction in terms of quantity, it is difficult to talk about excellence, and Chen Hai can only use the existing conditions to transform and upgrade.
Since he had so many resources, Chen Hai also tried to cast in Taohuawu, using the existing 500-step strong bow to make a batch of three-bow bed crossbows in advance.
In addition to using the existing strong bow for connection, the gears and brackets of the winding are very easy to wear, and they also need to use extremely high-grade gold and iron materials to cast sufficient strength;
Although Yanzhou also has extremely strong bed crossbows, they are all single-bowed arms, which are extremely large and bulky, and can usually only be fixed on the walled walls, which is very inconvenient to move.
And the three-bow bed crossbow made by Chen Hai weighs about two hundred catties, and the elite soldiers of the Xuan Realm can carry it on their backs, coupled with the extremely sharp three-edged arrow cluster cast by blood-patterned steel, within the range of two to five hundred steps, it can even directly penetrate the spirit armor of the middle and lower grades of the yellow level.
In order to prevent the secret of the manufacture of the three-bow crossbow from being easily revealed, Chen Hai's gears, brackets and key components of the three-bow connection were all sealed and cast with a stainless steel shell.
Of course, the output of the Taohuawu Foundry is still extremely limited, and twelve three-bow bed crossbows can be made in advance in three or four months, and Chen Hai is only loaded on the four light chariots owned by the Huwei Battalion; Chen Hai still has to give priority to improving the overall combat strength of the Huwei Battalion and the part of the troops left behind in Taohuawu.
Chen Hai also used these secretly transported resources to raise the guard armor of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion by one level.
From these aspects, it can also be seen that the mysterious people behind the scenes have increased their expectations for the new army of the Seventh Capital, and at the same time, it can also be seen how terrifying the power of the mysterious people behind the scenes is.
The Xiyuan Army has a considerable amount of tens of thousands of Jingyuan Dan's additional materials consumed every day, and the mysterious person behind the scenes is not serious, and the seventh capital of the Xiyuan Army is likely to be just one of the many secret chess pieces of this mysterious person.
Of course, Chen Hai will never treat the Huwei camp around him badly.
Although the scale of the Huwei battalion has not expanded, it is still Wu Meng, Ge Tong, Tie Kun, Qi Hanjiang, Ding Shuang and others, but these 100 generals and more than 100 soldiers who stayed in Taohuawu are all loyal to Chen Hai, and they are also private soldiers who can advance and retreat with Chen Hai and can be transferred away from the Xiyuan Army at any time.
In addition to teaching them the secret forms of martial arts that can really be called Xuangong's mastery, Chen Hai also taught Wu Meng, Qi Hanjiang, Ding Shuang and others the ten steps that he mastered at this time, but whether they can realize the true meaning of martial arts from it depends on their respective understandings and opportunities.
After believing that the barbarian slave Tie Kun was temporarily powerless to get rid of his control, Chen Hai also taught him some Xuangong mastery, and Chen Hai could not ignore the enhancement of his value in this humanoid weapon.
The resources that Chen Hai had at this time had already exceeded the authority of his Captain, and some cultivation resources were also prioritized towards Wu Meng, Qi Hanjiang, and Ding Shuang.
After the autumn of the seventy-third year of Emperor Yitian, in addition to Wu Meng's entry into the peak of the Soul Realm during this period, Zhou Jun and Ge Tongxiu have made great progress, Qi Hanjiang, Ding Shuang, Zhou Jingyuan and other six people have also successfully opened up the Linghai Secret Palace, stepped into the Spirit Realm, and became the most elite and trusted descendants of Chen Hai's subordinates.
Although the Taiwei Mansion and the entangled parties did not hope or expect how strong the Xiyuan Army would be, as the new soldiers of the Xiyuan Jiudu gradually became an army, the necessary bows and crossbows, war horses, and chariots were also prepared according to the standards of the Beijing Camp Army.
At about the beginning of autumn, Chen Hai began to train tens of thousands of generals in cavalry archery and chariot warfare on the basis of the Ninth War Battalion of the Seventh Capital; by the end of October, the Seventh Capital was officially formed into an army, and it took just six months before and after, and Chen Hai could be regarded as having successfully completed the task of forming an army in half a year as required by the Taiwei Mansion.
*********************
In the seventy-third year of Emperor Yitian, the ministers of the two factions of the court were still involved in cowhides, and they did not provide relief for the famine for a long time.
Although the disaster has eased since the beginning of spring in the 73rd year, the catastrophe that lasted for several years and the large number of displaced people have left their homes, and many areas around Gyeong-gun have been abandoned.
The ministers of the two factions of the court only blocked a large number of displaced people outside Qintong and other passes, and prevented them from invading the Gyeonggi area within the five passes, as if they did not see it, but a large number of displaced people could no longer survive the spring famine of the seventy-third year of Emperor Yitian, so they successively invaded the prefectures and counties outside the five passes.
At first, news of civil unrest broke out almost every ten years in Gyeonggi, and when the spring famine was at its worst, there were even daily outbreaks.
A large number of prefectures and counties outside the five passes also belong to the scope of the eight clans in Jingjun, and the clan lords and clans are powerful, and after seeing the large-scale appearance of the displaced people, although all sides delay and do not take the initiative to help the disaster, the local military equipment of the prefectures and counties has been strengthened to a certain extent.
At the beginning, the local armed forces were generally able to suppress the homeless people from causing rebellion, and occasionally heard that there was a large-scale fall of the village walled city, which was already a great event.
The Xiyuan Army had not yet been trained at that time, and the Huben Army could not delay the suppression of Gyeonggi, and as time went on, on the one hand, the local prefectures and counties lacked a strict military system, and most of them were in separate positions, and on the other hand, the alliance between the displaced people was increasingly strengthened, and some towns and walled cities distributed along the Chi Road, the Chu River and its tributaries began to fall in batches, and even many prefectures and counties were also captured by the displaced people.
After the autumn, the disaster of the displaced people became more and more intense outside the five levels.
The ministers of the two factions still dragged their feet to prevent the elite of the Tiger Ben Army from going out of the five passes to suppress it, but they also authorized the county patrols outside Gyeonggi to integrate the local military equipment in the territory to eliminate the rebels and displaced people.
The attitude of the clan and the vassal clan is still to form a village to protect themselves, just to ensure that the land of the fiefdom and the clan is not encroached upon by the displaced people, and without the cooperation of the elite children of the clan and the elite private soldiers of the clan clan, the local armament is integrated, the scale of the force is not small, but the combat power is also quite limited, and the rebel and displaced people are eliminated and won and lost by each other.
The autumn of the seventy-third year of Emperor Yitian has not yet passed, and there are as many as seventy-three large-scale rebels outside the five passes.
Outside the Qintong Pass, there were thirteen famous and surnamed rebels, occupying the treacherous mountains and attacking the local prefectures and counties.
Chen Hai didn't know if the Xiyuan Army would have the opportunity to participate in the suppression of civil unrest in the future, but he also began to make a topographical sand table near Qintong Pass, and carried out the battle situation deduction as part of his daily exercises, but his life was quite leisurely.
The days passed day by day, and Taohuawu and Meiwu Fort also successfully used large baggage vehicles to transform four small sturdy warships, and specially invited Pei Jinhua to refine into the water control array, and the four warships traveled on the Qiuye River, as fast as a galloping horse, and only needed a stick of incense, they could cross the river more than ten miles wide, and go back and forth between the two banks.
In addition to being in charge of training affairs in Fujiaoling, Chen Hai also occasionally went to live in Taohuawu on the other side of the Qiuye River.
The day before the beginning of winter in the seventy-third year, Chen Hai, Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji crossed the Qiuye River and went to Meiwu Fort to participate in the banquet convened by Dong Pan.
Chen Hai and the others didn't know what was going on, and when they walked out of the hall, they saw more than a dozen huge giant vultures and other spirit birds flying in the direction of Yanjing City in embarrassment.
These spirit birds are extremely large, but the feathers are scattered, the limbs and bones are broken, and there are many lightning scorch marks.
One of the spirit birds was the Qingpeng bird that Tu Ziji flew out of Qintong Pass to greet Ge Xuanqiao and his party, and there was a golden glow on the edge of its blue-black wings, which was really a spirit bird mount that had followed Qin Tong Pass to guard Tu Chongjin for more than ten years, and it was even stronger than the blue-scaled thunder eagle beside Chen Lie.
"Tu Ziji is here, what happened to Qintong Pass?" Seeing this situation, Tu Ziji was startled, and only then did he see clearly that his clan uncle Tu Chongjin blood-stained armor was fleeing towards Yanjing City on a Qingpeng bird in embarrassment, and asked loudly.
Hearing Tu Ziji's call, Tu Chongjin drove the Qingpeng bird to Meiwu Fort, and the other people who fled east on the spirit bird were his generals and subordinates in front of his tent, and those who were terrified also flew to Meiwu Fort.
Tu Chongjin was covered in blood, his armor was broken, and his body was scarred, it seemed that he had to break through after a hard battle, and he looked miserable and embarrassed, and even at this time, Tu Chongjin had blood overflowing from his eyes and nose.
Looking at the people who jumped off the spirit bird with Tu Chongjin, they all looked like this, Chen Hai and Zhao Rong, Dong Pan, Wu Xiong and others all sank violently, Tu Chongjin was the guard of Qintong Pass, and he and his subordinates and descendants fled east like this, all of which meant that Qintong Pass had fallen.
"How is it possible, how can the exiles capture Qintong Pass?" asked Dong Pan in shock.
Chen Hai, Zhao Rong, Wu Xiong and others all felt incredible, they knew that there were still a large number of displaced people stranded outside Qintong Pass.
Although Qintong Pass is only the elite of the Tiger Ben Army led by Tu Chongjin, the strength is not very strong, and the main generals are only cultivated in the middle and late stages of the Ming Realm, but Qintong Pass, as one of the five major Xiongguan on the periphery of Gyeonggi, has a city wall of more than 100 meters high or second, and the strength of the defense array, even if the three or five fetal realm powerhouses cooperate with hundreds of thousands of elite divisions to attack, it will not be able to fall in a while.
How could Qin Tongguan fall inexplicably?
"Qinxi Dart Line has long been controlled by the Red Mei Sect, a small group of Red Mei Sect, the former mixed into the dart line of the chariot and horse team into Qintong Pass, we didn't notice for a while, all the generals were drugged during the banquet, and the center of the defense array was destroyed by a surprise attack, at this time, the rebels mixed in the outcast people in the Guancheng suddenly seized the city and killed, Qintong Pass fell, and we finally managed to break out of the encirclement...... Tu Chongjin wanted to cry without tears.
