Chapter 385
(Some colds, late update...... ļ¼
At the mouth of the Tong River, under the lonely peak, the sunset is like blood, and the cold wind is like a sword. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chen Hai and Qi Hanjiang and others were inspecting the city, and the auxiliary soldiers and people who were temporarily transferred from Hengshan were desperately trying to strengthen the city, barrels of molten iron juice, which were seized by the sharp claws of the black-feathered giant bird, and poured down directly from the city, sizzling strong white smoke and pungent smell, quickly solidified in the severe cold, and the low city wall became taller and thicker inch by inch, becoming stronger inch by inch.
Liao Yunkui, Wu Jingyin and other people in Tianshui County knew that Chen Hai had mastered a huge amount of resources through the Tianji Academy, but they didn't know that they could waste it like this.
Although ordinary copper and iron cannot be regarded as precious, in the Tonghe estuary, where there is no iron ore field around, it is necessary to ensure that there are three or four hundred thousand catties of ordinary iron materials used to build the city every day, and the manpower and material resources consumed are really unimaginable.
Iron ore is excavated from the deep mountains at the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain, Chen Hai had previously transferred tens of thousands of strong laborers to the depths of the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain for excavating mines, but the road was impassable, and the iron ore could only be transported to Tongkou City for smelting by wind and flame airship.
And regardless of the food level of tens of thousands of elite laborers in the deep mountains, even if the three wind flame airships are used alternately, there is no loss.
The cost of the wind and flame airship is originally extremely high, but it is much cheaper and easier than the cost of domesticating one or two hundred giant birds, but it frequently rises into the sky, and the airbag of the airship, the keel frame and even the wind flame machine that produces the heat flame will be quickly depleted, impossible
With such frequent use, Liao Yunkui and Wu Jingyin both doubted that the three Wind Flame airships could survive until the end of the war.
Seeing Chen Hai pouring iron juice on the city wall like pouring water, he smacked his tongue one by one, just thinking that although the demon barbarian soldiers were not good at making siege equipment, the barbarian elephant of the wasteland, a wild beast that was expelled to the battlefield by the barbarians, was really not something that ordinary rammed earth walls could resist.
At that moment, a rainbow of light swept towards the city from the south.
When Hongguang stayed in front of the city wall, he saw that it was Fang Xiyan, the envoy of the prison army who stayed in Hengshan City, and flew down from the clouds to greet Chen Hai, Liao Yunkui and others.
Liao Yunkui and the others had no good impression of the eunuch, so they just snorted, which was considered a response.
"Hou Chen, here is an urgent letter from Master Wen to you, please take a look. Fang Xiyan was not annoyed by Liao Yunkui's indifferent attitude, and directly handed Wen Boyuan's secret letter to Chen Hai.
Since Huang Shuang and Le Yi led their troops to join the Su Guard Army with Chen Hai, Fang Xiyan has always been the supervising envoy of the Longxiang battalion.
As a descendant of Wen Boyuan and others, Fang Xiyan is also a military envoy, and has the duties of supervising and supervising the Longxiang battalion, so it is naturally necessary to maintain an indifferent relationship and distance from Chen Hai and other generals.
Fang Xiyan handed the letter to Chen Hai, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.
The spirit hooves sent by Wen Boyuan to Hengshan City actually carried two secret letters.
There is a letter for Fang Xiyan, and the letter will tell the ins and outs of the mediation, as well as the real plans and plans of Yan Ran Palace. Now Wen Boyuan was worried that Chen Hai would react violently after knowing that Zhao Zhong went to Helan Sword Sect with the emperor's decree to mediate the dispute between the two families, so he specially ordered Fang Xiyan to appease Chen Hai and not make any more trouble.
In the early years in the Hexi Army, the contradiction between Chen Hai and the Hechuan Sect Lords is not to be mentioned, in the past few years, Chen Hai has been suppressing the supply of quenched iron materials and heavenly machine weapons to the Hexiang Army and Helan Sword Sect, while Hexi has benefited greatly.
This is destined to Chen Hai and the Heavenly Machine Academy, which are the targets of Helan Sword Sect's greatest hatred at the moment.
At this time, the inner and outer courts of Yanjing wanted to join forces to mediate the war between the two families, and to persuade the Helan Sword Sect to move to the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, and live next to Liquan and Tianji Academy, who would have such a good temper to bear?
Isn't this a basin directly on the top of the head of the Tianji Academy?
After reading the secret letter, Chen Hai frowned, and did not speak, but handed the letter to Zhou Jun, Huang Shuang, Su Yuan and others behind him.
"Then what is Chen Hou's opinion?" asked Fang Xi worriedly.
"The emperor's decree has already been drafted, Lord Fang, what do you say I can say?" asked Chen Hai in a calm voice.
"This time, His Royal Highness the King preemptively proposed this proposal, and the inner court just saw that the general situation was unstoppable, so it could only give in. Lord Zhao intervened in this matter, but he just didn't want to be led by the nose by the British king, Taiwei, and Zuo Cheng in everything. Fang Xiyan cautiously led Chen Hai's possible anger to the King of England and the Jingjun Zongwang, but before he finished speaking, he heard an angry shout.
"Is this too deceitful?" But the secret letter was passed into Qi Hanjiang's hands, he was furious, tore the secret letter to shreds, pinched a stack of paper in the palm of his hand, the flames overflowed, and the secret letter was burned in an instant, and shouted angrily, "We are fighting hard here, resisting the demon barbarians, you are a dog in the court, bent on stabbing us in the back, this dog fights or not!"
Qi Hanjiang shouted angrily, and reached over to pull Fang Xiyan's collar.
Although Fang Xiyan is also a strong person in the late stage of the Ming Realm, he is not like Qi Hanjiang, who has been tempered by war for a long time, he raised his hand and collided with Qi Hanjiang's giant palm, the palm prints struck, and the golden light overflowed, and he actually forced Qi Hanjiang, who was a small realm behind him, to retreat half a step.
"Presumptuous!" Chen Hai angrily reprimanded Qi Hanjiang, pointed to the city, and said, "Before the barbarian enemy comes to attack, you will go to this city to do hard labor in building the city, calm down." Lord Fang is something you can offend, quickly apologize to Lord Fang?"
There are a few sword servants around Fang Xiyan, not like Chen Hai who has military power, but as a supervising military envoy for one day, he represents the majesty of Yanran Palace, Chen Hai usually prefers to hide from Fang Xiyan and will not offend, naturally he can't indulge Qi Hanjiang too presumptuous.
"It's okay, it's okay, General Hanjiang is also in a hurry. Fang Xiyan is a military envoy, but he has a good temper, and he is more concerned about what Chen Hai will think in his heart.
"I heard that the original proposal of the Nineteen Kings was to move the Helan Sword Sect to the southern foot of Qintong Mountain......" Su Yuan asked hesitantly.
Qintong Mountain stretches for nearly 10,000 miles from north to south, if the Helan Sword Sect moves east to the south foothills, and the Tianji School Palace is located at the north foothills, with four or five thousand miles of mountains in the middle of the Nanzhang Mansions, it can also be said that the well water does not violate the river water, but Zhao Zhong really brought out the emperor's decree from Yanran Palace is to move the Helan Sword Sect to the northern foot of Qintong Mountain, which shows that in the Yanran Palace or the Twelve Standing Servants, there is no one who wants to use the Helan Sword Sect to suppress the Tianji School Palace.
"There are only 10,000 or 20,000 disciples in the inner and outer sects of the Helan Sword Sect, but the branches are entangled, dragging their relatives with them, even if the remnants of the Hexiang Army are disbanded, there will inevitably be hundreds of thousands of relatives moving east," Fang Xiyan patiently explained, "If we don't give a place to rest and recuperate, the Helan Sword Sect will naturally not move west." At the same time, at the southwest foot of Qintong Mountain, bordering Qinshan County, if the Helan Sword Sect moved eastward there, it would be directly incorporated into the Musashi Army, which would greatly enhance the strength of the Musashi Army, which was naturally unwilling to be seen by Hexi. After thinking about it, he decided to move the Helan Sword Sect to the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain, and then cut the Yellow Elk Yuan and other places from the southwest of Jiyang County to the Helan Sword Sect to support the clan. ā
"This is already the case, and it is useless for me to oppose it, but Lord Fang also sees that we are expected to hold the mouth of the Tong River this year, and the Yandang Plain between Hengshan and Yucheng Ridge will return to the territory of Tianshui County. Even if the Longxiang battalion is deployed to other places in the future, the first line of Yucheng Ridge will not be attacked again. ā
"Okay, I'll send a letter to Lord Zhao and Lord Wen about this matter!" Fang Xiyan saw that since Chen Hai had made a deal condition, he thought that this matter would be easy to discuss, and he was really afraid of Chen Hai's temperament, so he would flip the table if he didn't agree.
At this moment, under the cloudy sky, there were several clear warning signals, indicating that the demon was moving!
**********************
After a fierce quarrel, Mueller still reluctantly succumbed to Mu Wutao and sent troops to Tongkou City.
Several dull horns like thunder sounded far away around the heaven and earth, and the demon barbarian soldiers drove the war horses, carrying simple war weapons and baggage, and stepped out of the remnants of the village one after another, and went to Tongkou City.
Tie Kun rode on the snow wolf's broad back, looking at the rolling iron hooves passing in front of him, but his heart was cold, because he knew that these elites were destined to die this time.
Mu Wutao looked back at the rolling tide, and a cruel smile appeared on his hideous face.
Die, die, when these elites are all dead, Mueller, do you still have the ability to covet the Khan position?
Of course, Mu Hao has a lot of heirs, and in addition to Mu Le, there are five other princes who are currently in power, all of whom have the support of a powerful mother clan behind them, and Mu Wutao thinks that it is not a simple matter to let these people kill each other, or greatly lose their strength in the war of attrition against the Terran fortified city.
Fortunately, the Black Stone Khanate has always admired martial arts, so Mueller has no excuse to retreat.
The front of the barbarian army advanced very quickly, and they were already able to surface a huge figure on the east bank of Tongkou and Tongkou City under the lonely peak.
At this time, there was a lot of noise in the Tongkou walled city, and the construction of the city stopped, whether it was the soldiers, the auxiliaries or the people, they all entered their respective defenses in an orderly manner according to the established rank.
The wooden vans loaded with stone bullets were pulled down by the people who shouted the trumpet......
The demon has arrived.
Muller and Mutu originally wanted to concentrate their forces and capture a city wall, so that the number of troops invested was limited, and they could calmly clean up the mess if they were frustrated.
Mu Wutao vetoed this plan, in addition to the Gufeng Cliff in the east is more than two or three hundred meters high, and the east wall of Tongkou City is tightly protected, he advocates attacking the Tongkou River from the south, north, and west at the same time.
His reason is also very simple, Tongkou City was not completely built and closed, leaving more than a dozen gaps on three sides, which was obviously convenient for the Tianji chariot and the elite cavalry of the Longxiang battalion, but the number of Tianji chariots in the Longxiang battalion was limited, and they could only launch a sudden onslaught from three sides, making it difficult for the dozen Tianji chariots of the Longxiang battalion to deal with three sides at the same time, so that as long as they had a breakthrough on one side, they would definitely be able to defeat the Longxiang army.
Tie Kun knew that Mu Wutao was not well-intentioned, but on the matter, he thought to himself that if he really wanted to have a chance to defeat that person, Mu Wushou's method might be the only and last chance.
