At the end of August, the Taiwei Mansion officially sent a document, worried that the border troubles in Tianshui County were very dramatic and the demons were becoming more and more rampant, and ordered Chen Hai to lead the Longxiang battalion to move to Hengshan in the north of Tianshui County to assist the local military preparations to prevent border troubles.

The Jingying army is usually able to control the local military equipment, but this time Chen Hai led his troops to move to Hengshan, and did not give the senior general title who can control the local military equipment, and after arriving in Hengshan, he still had to accept the control of the Tianshui County Pastor and the County Commander's General's Mansion, in fact, the Jingjun Zongzhu and Yan Ran Army did not want to see Chen Hai suddenly gain power, and there was a situation that they did not expect.

The marching route of the Longxiang camp was also strictly restricted by the Taiwei Mansion, and there was no intention for Chen Hai to lead his troops from Gyeonggi to cross the Qintong Mountain and march west.

Borrowing from Gyeonggi was originally the fastest passage, but the British King Yingshu and Taiwei Tu Que were really worried that if they let the Longxiang camp enter the Gyeonggi area or enter the Qintong Mountain, the Longxiang camp would stop halfway and they would be blinded.

The route drawn by the Taiwei Mansion for the 30,000 troops of the Longxiang camp was borrowed from Yongjun, crossed over from the Qimaling in the north of the Qintong Mountains, and entered the northern part of Tianshui County.

Although the terrain of Chopping Horse Ridge is not as steep and precipitous as the many mountains at the northern foot of the Qintong Mountain Range, it is also a forest of four or five thousand meters of peaks, and the sheep intestine valley road in the middle is extremely narrow and steep, which is an important barrier for Yanzhou to resist the demon barbarians in the northwest.

The 30,000 cavalry of Longxiang's battalion borrowed the road from Chopping Horse Ridge, first, the road was difficult, and it was also seven or eight thousand miles, which may take twice as long as borrowing from Yanjing.

Secondly, after crossing the Choma Ridge, before arriving at the Hengshan defense line in the north of Tianshui County, there are more than 1,000 miles of wasteland, which is an area where the demon barbarians often enter the activity, especially after the demon barbarians enter the autumn, they will be quite active in this area.

The camp of Long Xiang entered the wasteland between the Cutting Horse Ridge and the Hengshan defense line, and it was almost impossible to escape the harassment of the demon barbarians, and it was necessary to pray that there would be no main demon barbarian force to assemble nearby, otherwise it might face a catastrophe.

It is also a rule that the route of the Jingying Army's relocation is designated by the Taiwei Mansion, which is to guard against the dissenting ambitions of the generals in command.

However, at this time, the two Wind Flame airships of the Tianji Academy Palace had already been manufactured in Liquan and in the workshop at the foot of Juquanling Mountain, and this time it could come in handy.

Chen Haixian, together with Huang Shuang, Qi Hanjiang, Han Wendang, Sun Gan, Han Jian and others, first led the Huwei battalion to take two wind and flame airships, and Fang Xiyan, the envoy of the supervising army, under the escort of more than 100 war birds, flew directly from the valley between Qintong Mountain and Choma Ling, entered the northern part of Tianshui County in advance, and took over the defense of the western flank of Hengshan.

Under the leadership of Le Yi, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and others, the main force of the Longxiang battalion, in addition to 20,000 war cavalry and light weapons that are easy to transfer, were handed over to the local takeover, and under the leadership of Le Yi, Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and others, they slowly borrowed the road from Jiyang County and Yong County, and assembled at the eastern foot of Choma Ridge in advance.

At this time, the superiority of the Wind Flame Airship is fully demonstrated.

A large wind and flame airship, with a load of 200,000 catties, can transport thousands of lightly armored generals at one time, and the transportation efficiency is extremely high, almost ignoring the obstacles of the terrain.

Although the wind and flame airship should not fly too high, it is the limit to rise to 5,000 meters; no matter how high it is, it will become extremely unstable in the face of the cold wind, and the airbags sewn from animal skins cannot withstand the tearing of the wind that is as sharp as the sword qi.

But not to mention the Horse Ridge, even the many desperate ridges at the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, between those peaks that are tens of thousands of meters away, there are enough gaps for the wind and flame airships to pass through.

From Hengshan to Lianshui, the straight-line distance is more than 4,000 miles, and it is enough to take the wind and flame airship for two days and two nights, and you can stop and take a breath in the middle, but if you don't borrow the wind and flame airship, thousands of elites, even if they are all taking the green cunning horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, and detour from the mountains and valleys, how can it take more than half a month to rush from Lianshui to Hengshan.

There are two wind and flame airships, after getting the official order of the Taiwei Mansion, the Longxiang battalion and the guard battalion of 1,000 sharp soldiers and some military officials such as Sun Gan, even people with armor and hundreds of heavenly machine crossbows, three days later entered Hengshan City.

The speed was so fast that the garrison in front of Hengshan Castle was dumbfounded, and they thought that the enemy army had attacked by surprise, because they had also received an official letter from the Taiwei Mansion the day before.

Fortunately, Wu Jinglin and Wu Yunqiao accompanied Chen Hai, otherwise, Chen Hai would not have been able to take over the defense of Hengshan City from the previous garrison, and no one could believe that they would come so quickly.

Although the cost of two Storm Flame Airships is expensive, no matter how high the cost is, it is far lower than domesticating three or four hundred black-feathered giant vultures.

What's more, it is not easy to incubate and domesticate the black-feathered giant vulture, and the strength of Hexi at this time can be said to have developed to the extreme, but at this time, the black-feathered giant vulture that can be newly incorporated into the army every year is not even less than a hundred.

Next, the two Wind Flame airships will continue to be put into use, and a steady stream of generals and armor and weapons of the Longxiang battalion of the Su Guard Army will be transported to Hengshui. In addition, the generals of the Longxiang battalion were also under the leadership of Le Yi and other generals, and at the same time drove westward from Lianshui, and the entire process of relocation is expected to be shortened by one-third compared with borrowing from Gyeonggi and Qintong Pass.

The biggest problem is that the transfer of more than 20,000 war horses is the most headache, after all, the size and weight of war horses are too large.

The remnants of the Black Yan Army were organized by Long Xiang's large revenue, and the 20,000 war horses that were retained after the refinement were all of the best breeds, but these war horses entered the sky by airship, but no one was so honest, and it would be extremely troublesome to install a specific and sturdy tether frame to occupy space and load.

The final plan was to hand over more than 15,000 war horses to the caravan of the Tianji Academy Palace to take over, enter the Gyeonggi region from Wusheng Pass, pass through Qintong Pass, and send them to Hengshan.

The remaining 5,000 or so elite cavalry were organized by Le Yi to pass through quickly from the Chopping Horse Ridge, while the other generals arranged for the Wind and Flame airships to be taken to Hengshan one after another in the process of marching westward.

By the time Wu Cheng, the general of Tianshui County, arrived at Hengshan to meet Chen Hai in mid-September, there were already 8,000 soldiers stationed in Hengshan City.

Wu Cheng and Wu En, the contemporary lord of the Wu family, are cousins, both are cultivators in the middle of the Dao Dan realm, in Tianshui County and Huayang Sect, and Zhou Zhong, the lord of the Zhou clan and Zhou Tong, the lord of the Qu clan, Qu Xiyuan, and Liao Yunkui, who was born in a poor family and is not strong in the clan, and is called the six respects of the Huayang Sect.

It is also because the three clans of Wu, Zhou, and Qu have their own expertise in Tianshui County and Huayang Sect, and none of them can suppress the other two clans, so in the past hundred years, the important positions such as county pastor and general commander of Tianshui County have been held by the three clans in turn.

At this time, the Tianshui County Pastor was served by Qu Xiyuan, the lord of the Qu family, and the general of the Duwei was served by Wu Cheng of the Wu family.

Chen Hai led his troops to move to Hengshan City, nominally accepting the control of Qu Xiyuan and Wu Cheng, and at the same time knowing the affairs of Hengshan Prefecture, as long as he was not transferred out of Tianshui County, he could be regarded as the third person in Tianshui County, but his defense area was in Hengshan City and the vast battlefield north of Hengshan City where he could fight with the demon barbarians, and he could not extend his hand to the interior of Tianshui County, and naturally it was impossible to interfere in the military and political affairs within Tianshui County.

Every winter, the northern wasteland is covered with ice and snow, and they will go south to hunt, so every October, it is the most tense time in the northern part of Tianshui County.

Although the Jingjun clan lord intends to make things difficult for the Longxiang battalion, although the clans of Tianshui County also have their own thoughts, but holding the Hengshan defense line is the bottom line that everyone must adhere to, so Wu Cheng is also worried that the Longxiang camp will not be able to move over in time, and the total number of generals in the Longxiang camp is only more than 30,000 people, and he is also worried that the strength of the Longxiang camp is limited and cannot hold the eastern area of the Hengshan defense line.

However, seeing that in just half a month, the eight thousand soldiers of the Longxiang battalion were stationed in Hengshan City, Wu Cheng was also quite shocked, and after seeing the wind and flame airship on the spot, his expression was even more solemn.

These are the two Wind Flame airships, which can transport 8,000 elite soldiers from four or five thousand miles away to Hengshan in half a month, across the mountains and rivers, what if the Longxiang battalion has 20 Wind Flame airships?

From now on, which family's rear and hinterland are still absolutely safe?

It's just that the Tianji Academy Palace did not keep the manufacturing scroll of the Wind Flame Airship secret, as long as any county or clan is willing to pay a harsh price, they will change from the Tianji Academy Palace to the scroll. For the sake of convenience, the Miao clan and the Yue clan directly set up a casting workshop for the wind flame airship in Liquan after purchasing the picture scroll of the wind flame airship, and even hired familiar craftsmen from the Tianji Academy, so no one could have any position in this matter to accuse Chen Hai and the Tianji Academy.

It's just that everyone has to constantly adapt to the new mode of war in the future, which is also enough to cause headaches.

From between Taiwei Mountain and Qintong, the terrain is low, forming a gap that is almost nearly a thousand miles long, and it has become the main passage for the demon barbarians to attack the northwest.

This passage goes all the way to Huayangling in the south of Tianshui County, and there is no major terrain obstruction, which can block the pace of the demon barbarian's southward invasion.

To alleviate the pressure of defense, Tianshui County built the defense line on the south side of the entire gap, and there was still a low mountain range with a main mountain body of only about five or six hundred high, and more than a dozen defensive villages were built to resist the invasion of demons.

In the future, Chen Hai led the Longxiang battalion to be responsible for the eastern area of the Hengshan defense line, this area, next to the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain, over the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain, the straight line distance from Liquan is only one thousand miles, the Tong River flows out from the valley at the western foot of Qintong Mountain, flows from the front of Hengshan City, zigzags to the north, converges from the source of the Taiwei Mountain, Choma Ridge of the river, all the way to the north, all the way to the north, all the way into the extreme north of the demon barbarian tribes gathered.

The winter is bitterly cold, and the river from the northern foot of Taiwei Mountain to the north will be completely frozen in winter, but in the beginning of spring, the earth will warm up, the ice will melt, and the land along the coast will be washed away by the wanton floods, and it will also form a natural barrier to prevent the demon barbarians from invading south. And when the cold season comes again, the floodplain of the northern wasteland is frozen again, which is a good opportunity for the demon barbarians to invade the south.

The western area of the Hengshan defense line will also be defended by the local armed forces of Tianshui County in the future, because the Longxiang battalion joined the defense line, Tianshui County can also draw 100,000 troops from the Hengshan defense line at this time and move to the west side of Huayangling, to guard against the possible changes of the Hexi Army to Tianshui County - this is also the main reason for Tianshui County to ask for help from Yanjing.

In the northeast direction of the Hengshan defense line of Tianshui County, there is the defense line of Yongjun County, and in the northwest direction is the Broken Dragon Ridge camp in Hexi located at the northeast foot of Taiwei Mountain, which can form huge jaws from the left and right wings, restricting the demon barbarians from invading the south from this gap, and also greatly relieving the defensive pressure of Tianshui County.

The only problem is that from the Hengshan defense line to the north, almost thousands of miles of fertile soil are wasted in vain, turning into vast grasslands, and flooding after the beginning of spring.

This is also the key reason why Tianshui County is extremely weak and the clans have no ambitions.

Tianshui County was originally separated from Qinshan County, and because the land thousands of miles deep from Hengshan to the north was voluntarily abandoned, the land was nearly half less than that of other counties, how could it not be weak?
