Miao Mingcheng and the disciples guarding under the cliff of Lukai Gorge had some affairs, that is, with the green lynx spirit beast, his body was submerged in the top of the glacier in the Wusheling Mountains. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Miao Mingcheng's strong cultivation, he climbed over many glaciers and mountains, as long as there was no other delay on the way, it would only take five or six days to go to the Demon God Temple, that is to say, Chen Hai and the others only needed to wait for ten days and half a month at the earliest, and they would know the decision of the Demon God Temple.

"Does the Demon God Temple have any concerns, will they think that it is a trap set for them by Hexi?" Dong Ning stopped above the Tianhang Lake, looked at the distant mountains and snow peaks, and asked Chen Hai worriedly.

"I'm worried about that, too. Chen Hai sighed lightly, the conditions he offered to the Demon God Temple were favorable enough, and it was beneficial enough for the Demon God Temple, but it was precisely beneficial enough for the Demon God Temple, and the Demon God Temple might hesitate.

However, Chen Hai didn't feel that it was wrong to leak the secret of Lu Kaixia to the Demon God Temple.

In the future, in addition to the crossbow battalion and the war bird battalion, the cavalry battalion, the horse infantry army and the spear heavy armor army all need to be gradually strengthened.

Although the heavy armored cavalry and the armored horse formation have many shortcomings, they will not be eliminated from the battlefield in a short time until the Shenji chariot has developed into a strong enough force.

Especially for the high-level warhorse, even if the lethality is far from being comparable to the Shenji chariot equipped with the Shenji crossbow, the impact power is not much weaker than the Shenji chariot;

A black cunning horse is even twice as fast as an ordinary healthy horse and a divine chariot.

In the battle of Yuchicheng, if Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng had enough precautions against the lethality of the Shenji chariot, and only two or three hundred heavily armored elite cavalry needed to be deployed behind the shield wall, the final battle situation would probably be completely different.

After the battle, the cavalry was reduced to 5,000 people, but at present, they can only exchange spirit beasts from the Demon God Temple to serve as elite cavalry and high-level war horses under the middle and senior military attachés.

It may take several years or even more than ten years of construction, and the 5,000 cavalry of the elite army can really be compared with the heavy armored cavalry in the Hexi Provincial Army.

Chen Hai looked at the stretching snow peaks in the depths of Wusheling Ridge, he had too many things to do, but even if the elite army had a place in Lucheng and Montenegro, there was still too little room for him to exert himself.

The Elite Army already looks a little good, but if you put it on the broader battlefield of the Jinyan Prefectures, you will find that the Elite Army is nothing at all.

Chen Hai and Dong Ning joined hands and flew back to Lukaibao.

Not only was Han Cainiang already waiting in Lukaibao at this time, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang escorted the first batch of Zhang clan's criminal clan back to Juquanling, and at this time, they also returned to the desert from Juquanling.

Chen Hai has to wait for the reply of the Demon God Temple during this time, and will directly stay in Lukaibao for the time being, but Dong Ning is the supreme leader of the Elite Capital Protectorate, and except for Lucheng, the rest of the Elite Capital Protectorate is also in ruins, but she has no way to stay in Lukaibao and accompany Chen Hai.

After sending Dong Ning and Han Cainiang away, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang had time to talk to Chen Hai about the recent situation in Yanzhou.

The Black Yan Army was extremely powerful at the beginning, but after the Eight Clans of Jingjun and the other thirty-six princes and clanlords eased Liu Lai, the life of the Black Yan Army was not so good.

At this time, in addition to the Huben Army and the Xiyuan Army attacking the Heiyan Army from Jiyang, Heyang, Lichuan and other counties, under the leadership of Qin Muhou Dong Shou, the elite soldiers and horses in Hexi to reinforce Yanjing and fight against the Heiyan Army had increased to 40,000 at this time.

And the soldiers and horses of King Qin, who reinforced Yanjing, were far more than just Hexi.

The reinforcements of ordinary county governments were all incorporated into the Huben Army or the Xiyuan Army to fight, but like the Dong family, the powerful feudal clans of other counties with the status of princes and lords sent by the Qinwang were mostly between 30,000 and 50,000 soldiers, but they were all elite soldiers who fought independently.

These independent princely sect lords Qin Wang Army, a total of 23 routes into Jiyang, Heyang, Lichuan and other places, fought against the Black Yan army.

Although the Qinwang army in Hexi and other places will not fight hard with the Black Yan Army head-on, they occupy the dangerous passes of the river, or take advantage of the emptiness of the rear of the Black Yan Army to advance step by step, all of which are constantly compressing the strategic space of the Black Yan Army, so that the Black Yan Army can only be forced to fight frequently with the Tiger Ben Army and the Xiyuan Army advancing from the front in an unfavorable situation.

Although the Black Yan Army has not suffered losses in several major battles since the beginning of this year, and has won and lost with the Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army, the areas that the Black Yan Army can fully control at this time are only Heyang and Yanmen counties.

In the case of serious damage to production and has not been effectively restored, the war potential of Heyang and Yanmen counties has been squeezed to the extreme.

The Xiyuan Army and the Tiger Ben Army, after each battle, the casualties and battle losses can be replenished in time, and they have gradually gained the upper hand. At this time, the other twenty-three Qinwang troops saw through the weakness of the Black Yan Army, and their activities on the flanks became frequent.

At this time, Hexi and the other nine families also clearly asked the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion to interrupt the supply of gold quenching arrows and other weapons to the Heiyan Army.

In the past, Chen Hai would supply 20,000 gold-quenching arrows from Juquanling to the Black Yan Army every month, which seemed to be confidential, but it couldn't be hidden from the eyes of those who really cared about it.

Previously, the Qinwang army sent by the Miao, Dong and other clans also played soy sauce in the battlefields of Heyang and Lichuan in the early stage, so they also turned a blind eye to the behavior of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion selling weapons to the Heiyan army, and they would not be too lenient.

At this time, the Qinwang Army of the Miao, Dong and other clans wanted to officially engage the Black Yan Army, and they would no longer allow the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion to continue to supply the Black Yan Army's combat weapons.

Of course, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion would not admit this matter if it was killed, but the Dong, Miao and other clans had already begun to send sect lords to join forces with the Xiyuan Army to block the passage at the northeast foot of the Qintong Mountains, and the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion's supply of weapons to the Black Yan Army had actually been forced to be interrupted.

Su Aya was by Chen Hai's side, and when she heard these things, she was worried, but Chen Hai knew that this was the general trend, and he couldn't save it.

And he initially rejected Ning Chan'er's solicitation, in addition to disagreeing with the practices of the Red Mei Sect and the Black Yan Army, he also clearly realized that the Red Mei Sect did not have the ability to fundamentally shake the rule of the sect lords over Yanzhou.

Regardless of what decision the Red Mei Sect will make in the future, whether it will continue to trap and defend in Heyang and Yanmen, or fight its way out of the encirclement and move to areas where the sect lord's power is weak, the Zhaoyang Pavilion Marquis Mansion can only cut off contact with the Black Yan Army for the time being.

Chen Hai doesn't know where Ning Chan'er is at the moment, whether she is in the Black Yan Army, in Yunmengze, or continues to lurk in Yanjing, waiting for an opportunity to disrupt the situation in Yanjing and fight for more breathing space for the Black Yan Army?

In addition to these things, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang came over this time and brought a few sketches.

It is difficult for others to see anything from these sketches, Chen Hai has studied the puppet technique very deeply, and has devoted great energy to the Divine Machine Crossbow and the Divine Machine Chariot, knowing that these sketches are really the most precious research results of the Juquanling Craftsmen Association during this time.

When Chen Hai left Juquanling more than a year ago, he proposed a new direction for the improvement of the Shenji Chariot, hoping to use the weight loss effect of the Space Rune Array or the Wind Charm Array directly in the manufacture of the chariot, so as to create a stronger, more impactful, and faster mid-level chariot.

Of course, it is easy for Chen Hai to propose a new direction for improvement, but it is not easy to achieve this.

The Craftsman Guild gathered nine Grandmaster-level refiners and puppeteers, and in more than a year, they came up with many plans for the manufacture of intermediate-level chariots, but they still failed to meet Chen Hai's requirements.

Now it is only through Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang that several plans that are most likely to approach the target are given to Chen Hai, hoping that Chen Hai can make further breakthroughs.

Although there is no major breakthrough in this point, from the current several schemes, it can also be seen that the level of many great craftsmen is indeed not bad, and the ideas are also open-minded, and they are no longer stuck to tradition.

In addition, the craftsman will improve the body structure, which is in line with Chen Hai's expectations.

In the past, the sect lords had a tradition of making cars, whether it was a chariot for the sect lords and magnates, or a chariot that charged on the battlefield, it was regarded as a part of the sect's refining, so the sects and sect lords were no strangers to the manufacture of chariots, but before that, they would only consider the needs of middle and high-level martial arts and Xuan Xiu.

And Chen Hai hopes that with the low-level martial arts and Xuan cultivation as the foundation of the Xuan Realm cultivation, he will be able to dominate the Divine Chariot, so that the Divine Chariot can be truly popularized on the battlefield.

In the past, the Shenji chariot was in addition to the armor, and the defensive talisman array refined into the bottom of the car was used to add another layer of defensive spirit cover to weaken the direct impact on the armor of the carriage when the two armies were engaged, but the passengers in the carriage were not cultivated enough, and they were very easy to be injured or directly shocked to death.

In the new direction of improvement, Chen Hai hoped that the spirit shield formed by the defensive talisman array would be inside the carriage to avoid the internal personnel being subjected to too strong an impact when the two armies were engaged. Even if the armor of the carriage is damaged on the battlefield, as long as it is not dismantled directly, it can be repaired after the battle.

The implementation of the new improvement direction seems to have no difficulty at all, but it represents two completely different development ideas, and the latter can make the Shenji chariot really popular, and can also greatly improve the shooting stability of the Shenji crossbow, which is really of great significance.

After getting the drawings, Chen Hai first asked the craftsmen of the craftsman battalion to transform the existing ten-passenger god machine chariot of the crossbow battalion, and he personally retreated in Lukaibao and devoted himself to studying the manufacturing plan of the intermediate chariot.

Time flew by, and Miao Mingcheng returned to Lukaibao after twenty days and agreed to the trading conditions proposed by Chen Hai.

Counting the time, Miao Mingcheng returned to the Demon God Temple and delayed for ten days, it can be seen that the high-level of the Demon God Temple has also argued a lot about this matter, probably because he really can't see where the trap is, so he tried to trade with the Elite Army.

Miao Mingcheng will stay, preside over the Demon God Temple's guild hall in Lucheng, and actually preside over the secret transaction with the Elite Army, agreeing to take the Shenji Chariot, two Shenji crossbow core components and 60,000 catties of high-quality quenched iron every month in the early days.

Due to the fact that the Demon God Temple has also seen the power of the intensive use of war birds and divine crossbows, it cannot provide spirit birds in the early stage, but it will provide three red beasts to the elite army every month.
