Grain hoarding must meet the requirements of having a water source to facilitate fire extinguishing, high terrain, strong air circulation, relative dryness, and little flood threat. At the same time, it is best to transport grain by water, there are wharves, the cost of transportation is too high and the efficiency is too low, and the more people engaged in transportation, the worse the confidentiality. Therefore, a wharf can be built next to the river to transport grain and grass.

The southern latitude is high, the temperature is perennial, and the air is relatively dry, and the land north of the city of Qamis and Bakusaa obviously meets the conditions.

Most ordinary people don't pay attention to the matter of hoarding grain, but Bailiyan has been fighting for many years, and he is in charge of agricultural production, so he still has this experience. The three major warehouses of Xianguo are all built in a secluded place with high terrain and sufficient water, perennial wind, and close to the galloping road.

After careful consideration, he immediately said:

"What Tian Peng said is not unreasonable, let's go and fight their granary!"

Su Hong was taken aback when he heard the news:

"General, this can't be. How do we know where the granary of the Jinxuedi people is? ”

Bai Liyan pointed to the north of the cities of Kamis and Bakusaa on the way, and said:

"There may be granaries here."

"General, how do you know?"

"Guess!"

Bai Liyan said bluntly, and Su Hong rolled his eyes:

"Guess it works?"

Fang Liang said at this time:

"Chief, it's too risky to guess. The city of Qamis and the city of Bakusaa are in the hinterland of Po Song province, and we will pass through many villages along the way, where we will be discovered by the white-haired thieves and the maintenance team. ”

"The danger is a little more dangerous, but there are many mines near Kamis and Bakusaa, if we can do something to lure the Jinxuedi people over, our army will go to loot grain, and as long as we avoid the village castle along the way, we can take this place directly!"

"And what if there is no granary here?" Fang Liang asked again.

"Then completely destroy the pits along the way, so that they cannot produce in a short time!"

At present, Bailiyan does not take expanding the ranks, pulling mountains, and grabbing land as the main goals, but how to destroy the production of the Jinxuedi people on a larger scale, drag down their logistics, disrupt their economic production, train the soldiers, and rebuild a capable new army is the primary goal.

On the enemy's territory, it is obviously not realistic to occupy the mountains thousands of miles away, and it is impossible to do it. If you can bring down a few mines, set a fire every three or five times, kill one person in ten days and half a month, and fight a city in three or two months, so that they can be terrified all day long, they can also make a modest contribution to the coalition forces of Qianyue Mountain, although they know it clearly, and maybe no one will know.

At present, due to the need to build a city, the Jinxuedi people have drawn a large number of young and strong laborers from the two provinces outside the Guanguan, and the miners are also among them. The pit garrison was usually a third of the miners, and if there were six hundred miners, there would be two hundred warriors.

The previously heavily guarded pit is now reduced by the number of miners, and the number of garrisons has been reduced, making it much less difficult to attack the pit, at least without the risk of climbing over the wall like attacking a castle.

Having made up her mind, Bailiyan urged the army to hit the road and go to the cities of Qamis and Bakusaa.

The most convenient way is undoubtedly to walk straight thirty degrees from northeast to southwest, crossing two hundred and fifty miles, during which it is necessary to pass through seven villages, three castles, one fortress, and a small city, and the defenders along the way are less than five or six thousand, plus the two devils of the maintenance team, there must be six or seven thousand.

Bailiyan chose to continue south to bypass the village, and then turned westward, looking for a hiding spot and shortening the distance between the city of Qamis and the city of Bakusaa.

Here I have to mention the scum of the two devil maintenance teams, these security teams composed of three generations and four generations of the Central Plains, and I don't even know how many generations of villains.

The Jin Xuedi people relied on their level of management to oppress the descendants of the Central Plains, and Bai Liyan was even worried that the Jin Xuedi people would have to install undercover agents and eyeliners into his team sooner or later, and it was not even ruled out that the Jin Xuedi people had already sent spies to infiltrate the Central Plains to collect intelligence through hundreds of years of domestication, otherwise how could they have such a clear grasp of the political situation in the Central Plains.

After five days of walking south, they arrived at Mount Machimi, which was located one hundred and ten miles east of the cities of Qamis and Bakusaa, west of which was the village and the city, southeast of which was primeval forest, and south of which was a river, which was supposed to be a tributary of the great river that led to the granary.

"Eighty miles to the west, is the nearest iron mine to us, Su Hong, you pick a hundred capable walkers from the old pawn to attack with me."

"General, there are only a hundred people, if you want to explore the way, let's go to the last general."

"No, the actual situation is complicated, and you don't know how to deal with it."

"Isn't this person too few, what can a hundred people do?" Fang Liang was puzzled.

"This way we need to pass through the hinterland of the Jinxuedi people, and our army of 4,000 people cannot pass together with the horses and baggage, so we can only choose a small group of elite troops to march forward in order not to be discovered. In addition, Tian Peng took all your people and set off with me, unloading his armor and traveling lightly. More than two hundred people should be more than enough to deal with the defenders of a mine. ”

"Ah, don't ride a horse!" Tian Peng was surprised.

"This eighty-mile road must be completed in one night!" Bailiyan said resolutely.

"Obediently, this doesn't break my legs!"

"This is just the beginning, let alone walking 80 miles a day in the future, when I led the army at the most, I walked more than 130 miles a day, and on the 6th forced march of 700 miles to break the enemy, walking 80 miles is already so-so. Okay, while it's still early, the battalions hurry up and rest. ”

Tian Peng is powerful but short-legged, and he marches eighty miles in heavy armor, even in the Central Plains Army, not everyone can do it.

As soon as it was dark, Bai Liyan and Tian Peng led two hundred people to leave the camp, avoiding the view of the main road, and quickly passed through the blind area between the village, castle, and fortress with the help of the cover of night, and went straight to the iron mine.

When he was running for sixty miles, Tian Peng was already sweating profusely and panting:

"Oh my God, I can't walk, I have to rest for a while, or my leg will break......"

"No, there's a reed in front of us, we must get there to rest! Come two people, set up Tian Peng, even if you drag it, you have to drag it to the reeds! ”

Bailiyan beckoned the two old pawns, set up Tian Peng and continued on the road. The scouts detected that there were reeds in front of them, and Bailiyan decided not to march until dawn, and then redeploy after the next day's clarification of the situation.

Arriving at Luyidang before dusk, the sky was overcast, this is two hundred people, one night walked seventy miles, if four thousand people on the road together, sparse Lala at this time did not know where to stop.

As soon as the sky dawned, the descendants of the Central Plains in the vicinity were driven by the village maintenance teams to work in the fields.

Tuntian was invented in the Central Plains, but it was used to the extreme by the Jin Xuedi people, who implemented the complete exploitation of the Tuntian system for the descendants of the Central Plains, and concentrated manpower to cultivate the grain produced, except for rations, almost all of them belonged to the Jin Xuedi people, and even the Jin Xuedi people also implemented the "Qinghu Grain" system that was quite similar to the Black Turban Army.

Through the inventory of the surplus grain in the homes of the people in the Central Plains, the rations to be received were determined, and then the officials of the Jinxuedi people were responsible for the monthly distribution.

Since the maintenance team is stationed in the village, the exploitation of the villagers is also endless. Some of these maintenance teams have converted to the Moon God King Sect and joined the Fan Nationality, and they have regarded the bandit logic of the Jin Xuedi people as a treasure, and they have carried out extremely cruel exploitation and suppression of the locals who are also the people of the Central Plains, and torture and murder are almost commonplace.

The next day, after dark, more than 200 people continued on the road, and after walking twelve miles, they found the pit marked on the map.

Jin Xuedi people are easy to manage, and the pits are named after the name of the province, the type of mine, and the number.

The pit in front of me is "Iron Mine No. 7 in Posong Province", and the largest number of iron ore in the eastern part of the entire Posong Province is thirteen, counting the west, there must be more than 20 iron ore pits, the number is very amazing. Even in the Central Plains powerhouses such as the Jin State and the Zhi Kingdom, the iron ore found in the whole country is not as much as the Jinxuedi people in one province, this is one of their provinces.

Of course, there are more or less iron ore productions, which cannot be generalized, but the ability to mine 20 iron ore pits is also a great technological progress.

After the Jinxuedi people excavate ore, they usually load a large two-wheeled flat carriage with a unicorn horse and transport it to the designated smelter, between several pits, with the smelter as the core to preliminarily refine the minerals, turn them into pig iron ingot raw materials, and then transport them to the provincial city of Posongcheng, where they are refined for the second time with large city weapons factories in various places, and then cast into the required model, which is produced and processed by weapons.

Compared with the production methods of local mining and smelting production in the Central Plains to save labor hours, the production and transportation process of the Jin Xuedi people is not very clever, Bai Liyan pondered, they are afraid of the rebellion of the Central Plains descendants who sell coolies, and have to dismantle the entire production link to multiple nodes of the city, so that you have guns without bullets, bullets without guns, it is difficult to know the smelting technology, and it is impossible to fundamentally threaten the rule of the Jinxuedi people.

The pit is a horseshoe-shaped terrain, the mine is located in the center of the horseshoe, and the only exit to enter and exit the pit is through the horseshoe-shaped, and the surrounding high hills are actually waste stones produced during the excavation process, which have been piled up for many years, and the Jinxuedi people occupy the commanding heights and the only exit of the horseshoe-shaped hills.

According to Tianpeng's confession, the Jinxuedi people who garrisoned the mining area were mainly archers and crossbowmen in order to suppress the miners from a distance. If there is a frontal fight, the auxiliary soldiers equipped with combat weapons are often not necessarily the opponents of the miners armed with iron hoes and iron picks, so the first time to suppress them with crossbowmen can greatly deter the miners' riots.

Climbing up the rocky slope, it can be seen that the miners' accommodation area is enclosed in a stone wall more than one zhang high, and the Jin Xuedi people built a high platform and barracks on the stone wall, and the miners are driven to the stone wall after nightfall, and the Jin Xuedi people condescendingly take care of the miners.

Unlike other fortress castles, because the miners were locked in the stone wall, there was no horse path to go up and down the city wall within the one-zhang high stone wall, and stone steps were built outside the city and inside the city, and the stone steps on both sides of the stone steps were also built with stone walls and roofs, making it a closed passage, and the entrance and exit were closed by iron gates.

The security of the mining area is relatively lax, and the entrance to the mining area is not closed, and the stone wall is not very high, and the human ladder can be easily climbed up.
