The Central Plains thief lurking incident made Bailiyan uneasy, and all signs showed that the Jin Xuedi people used the domesticated Central Plains thieves to sneak into the Central Plains to steal a large number of military, political, economic, and technical secrets.

Bronze and iron tools are subjected to the chemical principle of forced replacement by using the active properties of sulfide through the vulcanization process, and other elements are infiltrated into the metal surface to resist corrosion and hardness.

China first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the current technology is twenty-four years ago, by the Ligong faction decades of experience accumulation, accidental exploration of the technology, the Central Plains vassal states have not yet popularized, and at least sixty percent of the weapons of the Jin Xuedi people, there is a vulcanization process.

In the twenty-four years before that, the Central Plains coalition army did not fight with it, there was no way to capture the Central Plains craftsmen, let alone obtain the source of technology, and the only explanation could only be that the Jin Xuedi people sent the Central Plains thieves into the Central Plains to steal the technology of the Central Plains.

Of course, it is undeniable that the popularity rate of Jin Xuedi iron is much higher than that of the Central Plains, but the fundamental reason is that Jin Xuedi people have many iron ores, and many of them are open-pit iron mines, and the amount of resources determines the cost of technological exploration, and the amount of resources that technology research and development can provide, the amount of resources and the number of talents, and determines a richer technical path and accidental exploration, but a single technical strength can not explain the overall technical quality.

The general cultural and technological backwardness of the Jinxuedi people is not enough to cover up their despicable acts, the most typical example of which is the popularization of paper and block printing.

The paper penetration rate of the Jin Xuedi people is much lower than that of the Central Plains, and a large number of reprinted books are still copied by hand. The reason is that the quality of their paper is far inferior to that of the Central Plains, and the molding rate is low under engraving extrusion.

Even so, in fact, it is still possible to print books by rubbing the opposite process, but the Central Plains does not use rubbing, because the efficiency is not as good as engraving printing, and the aesthetics are poor. So Jin Xuedi was a toddler in Handan, did not think of a solution, blindly imitated and copied, without any originality, pure predatory.

At that time, Jiang Jie withdrew all the guards and retreated to the cofferdam, and when the embankment burst and discharged, Ding Quan and others were still on the way to flee to the outer lake, unaware of the impending disaster.

"Stop, do you hear anything?"

"What sound?"

"Eh, it looks like there's a voice, it's quite loud."

"No, it's an earthquake, it's an earthquake!"

"Oh no, they're draining, quick, hurry up the mountain!"

When everyone reacted, they saw that the flood as high as three feet was surging, and the monstrous sound was like the deafening waves of the sea, destroying everywhere they went, sweeping away all the forces that dared to block it, Ding Quan and the others were engulfed in the flood in an instant, and they didn't even have a chance to escape to the mountain

The flood roared and roared, and ran all the way to the west bank like a broken bamboo, until the people of Jin Xuedi saw the flood coming, and they were shocked like mourning:

"Water, Water, Big Water......"

The sentinels shouted in panic, and the flood rushed to the front of the camp in an instant, and thousands of soldiers were swallowed up in an instant and lost their tracks. The flood swept all the way into the lake with debris and corpses, sweeping away the entire newly built camp.

"Report, report to the commander of the corps, flash floods, flash floods on the west bank." The pro-soldier said in a panic, his face as white as snow.

When Etis heard the news, his eyes were almost blacked, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground:

"Quick, take me to see, quick!"

With the help of the people, they came to the east bank, and the entire west bank was submerged in water, and there were countless people struggling, and the soldiers who were crossing the pontoon bridge scrambled to flee back to the east bank, and there were many people who fell into the water during the process. Seeing this tragic scene, Etis almost vomited blood, and his heart felt like a knife had been pierced, and he was heartbroken.

"Quick, save people, save our people......"

Etis shouted helplessly, his pale language was empty and weak, and the generals looked at the soldiers who were struggling in the water with almost blue faces, and they all knew in their hearts that it was over, everything was over......

The flood washed away the entire west bank, rushed into the outer lake, washed away the pontoon bridge, and the water surface of the entire outer lake rose by a zhang, directly affecting the Jin Xuedi people stationed on the east bank, which shows that the water accumulated by Bailiyan in the cofferdam is not ordinary.

At noon, in the middle of the day, the water in the cofferdam was exhausted, and Bailiyan stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the tragic situation on the west bank. In the telescope, you can see that the east bank is in shambles, and the west bank is completely annihilated.

"Su Hong, order Fang Liang, Lu Gao, Jiao Muhua, the whole army of the new battalion to attack, and be sure to reach the shore before dark."

"Yes!"

There are a large number of weapons and materials scattered on the west bank, and even the armor on the bodies of the dead is still in urgent need.

When it was dark, the camp arrived on the west bank, and the scene was a mess, with few living people, and the dead were lying on their backs after the flood, piled high with corpses and debris. It's hard to imagine that half a day ago, nearly 20,000 people were stationed here.

A few days later, the news of Etis's defeat was delivered to the city of Posong as quickly as possible, and Gudapa, who was looking forward to the victory of the bandits, could hardly believe that this was a fact at the first moment of the defeat.

"This can't be, this can't be, it must be a mistake! Governor, send someone to the front line of Cupigon at once, and I want Etis to answer me personally. ”

"Yes, sir."

Trembling, Gudapa took Etis's battle report and found Kabias in the town hall of the council:

"Hey, Gudapa, what's scaring you."

"Kabias, we're in big trouble!" Gudapa said in a panic, looking left and right at the other nearby city councilors, and immediately lowered his voice and continued: "We'd better talk about this matter separately and privately, otherwise we'll all be unlucky for this!" ”

"What the hell is going on, it has to be mysterious, is it the high priest who has arrived?"

"No, it's going to be worse than the High Priest, come with me!"

When the two of them came to the unoccupied corridor outside the conference hall, Gudapa forwarded Etis's battle report to Kabias, and at first glance, Kabias only thought that it was a mistake.

"What are you kidding, is Etis crazy, more than 100,000 people surrounded and suppressed more than 10,000 rebels, and actually killed 4,327 people, is he crazy!"

The next moment Gudappa said with a blue face:

"Not 4,327, but 43,270, and we have paid the price of 43,270 men to deal with the rebels of more than 13,000 men, and we have not annihilated them."

"What......" Kabias was taken aback, and the arrogance and disdain on his face vanished: "Is Etis crazy, dealing with a few pigs, and losing so many of our warriors." ”

"No, it's not that simple, all the soldiers who died in battle did not die in battle, but were drowned alive by the rebels with water. Counting last year, we lost nearly 60,000 people in the battle to deal with this rebel army of more than 10,000 people. ”

"Damn, hell, are these pigs a plague!" Kabias cursed hysterically, and vicious resentment spontaneously arose: "Except for the Central Plains people from the north, many of their subordinates are local pariahs, I want to know which village these mobs are from, and I will break their families into pieces!" ”

"It's difficult!" Gudapa said dejectedly.

"Why, except for the northerners, aren't the other pigs all local pariahs?"

"Yes, but according to the previous news of the insider, most of the Central Plains people who have taken refuge in the northerners are womenless, so they have no family. If there is, there are very few. ”

"Damn, damn it...... Is there no way to kill them! ”

"Etis intends to besiege them for a long time, seal them up in the valley, and starve them to death!"

"How long will it take?"

"Half a year to eight months, the rations they plundered before are enough for them to last for about half a year, and it will not exceed eight months at most."

"No, it's too slow, we should start from the other direction of Cupigon."

Kabias complained viciously, but Gudapa knew very well that he had missed the best extermination reality, and the current rush for quick success would make them pay a heavy price.

"Etis has already tried, and there is no second way but to besiege them."

"Alright then, I don't want any more accidents, this time the losses are all on us, replenish Etis's forces as soon as possible, and block all possible ways in and out of Cupigon, I don't think you will object, will you."

"Yes, I have no objection."

More than ten days after the two of them tried their best to hide the defeat of this huge war, a shocking explosion exploded to the west of the Cupugon Valley.

Bailiyan used more than 500 catties of black powder, and after several successive blasts, the death hole of Xishan was blown open, thus opening up another way out of the Qiubigon Valley in the west.

"My lord, it's blown up, and the back mountain is also blown up!" Jiang Jie received the flag from the old man on the top of the mountain, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

Sikong Nan was full of emotion, and couldn't help but sigh and said:

"I really didn't expect that it would take only a moment to chisel such a mountain wall, it's unbelievable."

"Yes, a new era has arrived!"

Bailiyan said meaningfully, looked at the sky, and seemed to start at this moment, and history had opened a new page. But is Zhongyuan ready to embrace a new era? He, I don't know.

After waiting for an hour, waiting for the mountain to stabilize after the explosion, Bailiyan took a shield and led several people to cautiously enter the entrance on the east side of the cave.

If it was in a previous life, most of them would have been fined and punished until they went bankrupt.

"Brother Sikong, after a few days and when the mountain is stable, select two hundred old soldiers to come here to clean up the stones. Remember, wear all the armor, one person carries stones, and one person holds a shield to cover to prevent scattered stones from falling and injuring people. ”

"The last will obey."

"That's it for now, some of the old guards left behind are keeping an eye here, and the others are going back to the camp for the time being."

After blasting, the mountain structure is loosened, and the previously stable mechanical bearing structure is destroyed, and it is conducive to the stability of the internal structure of the mountain for a period of time, and the stress between the cracks will disintegrate and collapse under gravity and external environmental changes, so as to avoid secondary disasters caused by forced cleaning.

It takes three days to get from the cave to the camp at the bottom of the valley, during which time it takes three days to climb two mountains, the distance in a straight line is not more than sixty miles, which is actually equivalent to the time it takes to march a hundred and five miles. Bailiyan planned to organize men to lay excavation steps on the two mountains so that the army could pass through.
