Chapter 766 - Making Something Out of Nothing (2)

();

After more than 10 years of production and war damage, Xianguo is now a veritable country of 10,000 multipliers, and at present there are as many as 10,000 four-wheeled baggage wagons running in the war zone and all parts of the country, which can carry 15 stone goods, and the space is extremely spacious, and it is not a problem to sit down seven or eight people, which is equivalent to the transportation capacity of 600,000 people, and the total transportation, animal power, and civilian power, which is actually equivalent to 1.5 million manpower to supply all the necessary military supplies for the army of more than 400,000 people.

After the recent recruitment and expansion, the Xian army actually needs to raise nearly 300,000 more rebels, so all the granaries in Dekang are owned by the Xian army, which shortens the time and distance required for relay supply, otherwise the long supply line will eventually drag down the Xian army.

The four-wheeled chariot is pulled by two horses, and the horses are not replaced, and the maximum daily travel is 70 miles when fully loaded, and the normal speed is maintained at 40 to 50 miles with the infantry escort. If the parking lot is reasonably arranged, and the horse is replaced in time, as long as the day is bright, you can continue to run on the road, especially in summer, the days are long and the nights are short, as long as people can stand it, it is not a problem to travel 150 miles a day.

But in most cases, the four-wheeled carriage is only used to transport goods and haul the wounded, is rarely used to transport the infantry, one is the road conditions do not allow, the other is the tight capacity, loaded with people can not be loaded, and the carriage usually carries goods and accompanied by the infantry, loading people is obviously not allowed.

Because it is rarely used to load people, Shentong never imagined that the Xian army would transport 20,000 people in a four-wheeled carriage and transfer them to Pengyuan.

Of course, this kind of car can sit for a day or two, the man-machine effect is too poor, and it can't be tolerated after sitting for a long time, and the price of such a good thing is naturally expensive.

Due to technical constraints, coupled with the lack of manpower, since there is a four-wheeled baggage carriage almost, is to the death to call for use, Xianguo more than 10 years of successive manufacturing of four-wheeled carriages, a total of more than 18,000 exports, only one damage, as many as more than 5,000, the annual cost of procurement and maintenance is also a lot.

However, thanks to the professional assembly line operation and metal woodworking machine, the cost of intensive production has been greatly reduced, and the cost of traditional manufacturing of one, two, or four-wheeled baggage carriages is more than twice that of the present, and the efficiency is higher, and the interchangeability of spare parts cannot be guaranteed.

Twenty years ago, it was a fantasy, not to mention a four-wheeled carriage, even a two-wheeled carriage, and there were no 20,000 vehicles in the Central Plains. Nowadays, Xianguo enjoys 10,000 cars with its own strength, and the strength of the country can be seen.

Inevitably detected by the supernatural powers, Bailiyan did not draw baggage vehicles and horses from Ye Xin and Mo Yunfeng's army, but only transferred all the baggage carriages from the three counties of Ganfu, Changyin, and Xiaguan, and called more than 40,000 pack horses, divided into 16 stations along the way, one station per 100 miles, and drove the pack horses to the designated stations in advance.

Three days later, the order was delivered to Ye Xinxing's camp, and at this time, not long after the divine power entered the Juxia Pass, Ye Xin immediately stopped the pursuit, and divided the 20,000-step army to quickly go south to Xiaguan. The news reached Juxia Pass a day later.

"Qiyu Heavenly King, make a report carefully, according to rumors, the Xianjun found the road into Sichuan, and the 20,000 horses that were suddenly transferred yesterday went south to the road."

Song He said quickly, his supernatural eyes fell on the topographic map of the mountains and rivers of Wanchuan County, and at this time, Qin E, the guard of the giant gorge, said:

"The last general has been operating Wanchuan for more than ten years, and he knows this place well, and the king of heaven can rest assured that there is no third way into Sichuan in the four counties of Shangguan, Xiaguan, Pengyuan, and Sangnan."

"I'm afraid it's hard to say." Shen Duchi said worriedly: "Wanchuan County is a land of thousands of miles, there are many lofty mountains and mountains, how can General Qin know that there is no path to walk in the corners. ”

"If there is, why did our army entrench here for more than ten years without knowing it, and when the Xian army arrived, it found a way out of thin air, isn't it such an aggressive thing."

After Qin E finished speaking, the divine power agreed and said:

"What General Qin said is extremely true, our army has been operating various counties for many years, and there is no reason for the trail that we don't know, and the Xian army can find the path when they first arrive here, which must be a trick. As for the 20,000 horses, Song He, what kind of equipment are those 20,000 horses? ”

"The Hui Heavenly Kings are all ironclad infantry troops, and they are the main force of Ye Xin's department."

"That's weird, what is Ye Xin doing when he transfers 20,000 elites at this time?"

"Will it be to watch out for the Gongliang Army?" Qin E guessed.

"Not really." Shentong denied: "It's too late for the Gongliang army to cross the river, so it won't turn against the Xian army at this time." In this way, the army will first reorganize in Juxia Pass for five days, and then watch the movements of the Xian army after five days. ”

"No!"

Everyone spoke in unison, and then dispersed one after another, except for Qin E, who was still in the hall, and the divine power immediately asked:

"What else does General Qin have to report?"

"Heavenly King, the current situation is urgent, if the army leaves, where will the last general and the brothers go, please make it clear to the Heavenly King."

"Wanchuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are still more than 10,000 main forces under General Qin, tens of thousands of people's troops, sitting on a million people, and it should not be a problem to hold on for several years. At that time, the situation will definitely improve, if General Qin can firmly nail the Xian army to Wanchuan and help our army to repel it, the first credit must be General Qin, such a golden opportunity, it would be a pity for the general to let others. ”

The supernatural power was full of perfunctory words, Qin E was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to stretch it out:

"What the king of heaven said is very true, then the general will take his leave......"

"General Qin doesn't need to worry, after our army leaves Sichuan, sooner or later it will be to avenge today's revenge, the longer the general persists, the more beneficial it will be to our army, and the greater the credit. One day, when it comes to meritorious deeds, this heavenly king will protect General Qin's first merit. ”

"Then thank you for the kindness of the king."

Qin E raised his hand and gave a deep salute and slowly exited the lobby. After he left, the upper body of the supernatural power collapsed on the seat, and the face behind the mask turned pale, panting and groaning:

"The defeat is like a mountain......"

……

Two days later, the Xianjun took all the news from Shangguan and transferred it to the Luan Cangcheng Administration Office of Jianghui County through Gongliangchen.

"I thought that the war would last for another year, but I didn't expect that in just four months, the Xian army had captured five counties, and it seems that it is a sure thing to take Wanchuan before the end of the year."

"Father, the Xian army has not only taken the five counties, the seven cities of Changyin and the six cities of Xiaguan are still in the hands of the Xian army, Wanchuan has been surrounded by the Xian army, but in fact, it has already annexed the land of the seven counties, and Bailiyan is really hateful."

Gongliang Xiu gritted his teeth and said, Gongliang Yi waved his hand, disapproving:

"Before the war, there was an agreement that the two counties of Xiaguan and Changyin would be returned to Zhiguo, and Xianguo would never dare to break his word. It's just that I originally thought that to attack the two counties of Ganfu and Shangguan, the Xian army needs to send troops with our army, but now it's good, the Xian army has conquered the seven cities of Changyin and the six cities of Xiaguan, and it is not easy for Bailiyan to give it up. ”

"What does the king mean?" Gongliang asked.

"The king means not to rush to claim it back, but to wait and see what happens."

"Shhh...... Could it be that the king wants to turn against the Xian country? ”

Gongliang thought for a while, twisted his long beard and worried:

"Well, it's not impossible. According to the secret agents of the Jin State and the Changsun State, the King of Jin was extremely angry at the annexation of several counties by the Xian State, and the lord of the Changsun State went without saying that the land of the annexation of the Xian State was the fat meat on the side of the mouth of the eldest grandson, and it was eaten by the Xian army at this time, how could he give up.

It is also reported that the rebels on the northern front are making peace with the eldest grandson, and if they are negotiated, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the Xian State. When the Xianguo and the eldest grandson are both defeated, it will be inevitable for the king to send troops to fight in the name of the Xianguo contract. ”

"But the child really can't figure it out, how can Bailiyan not see such a clear and sinister situation?"

"Alas......" Gongliang sighed: "The king's life is difficult, and he can't help himself." If he is a father, he will definitely use the two counties of Yuanshan and Dekang as assets at this time in exchange for a compromise with the eldest grandson. I guess Bailiyan will not be unaware of the sinister nature, most of them secretly played the King of Xian, and the King of Xian did not approve it, and wanted to forcibly annex the six counties. ”

"In this way, our army will have to fight Bailiyan head-on, which is a thankless task."

"Yes, the king never wants Xianguo to become a vicious tiger in the future, but he also doesn't want to see a fierce tiger at home, and it is bound to push you and my father and son to fight with Baili Yan.

As long as the Xianguo does not spit out the fat meat in the mouth, the Jin State and the Changsun State will not give up, and now the domestic troops of the Xianguo are empty, if the Jin army uses troops again in Jiangdong, it will not take a month at all, and it will be able to hit the Lingling, and the Xianguo may be destroyed. ”

"Then Bailiyan was indifferent at all, could it be that he watched a great situation slide into the abyss? I don't think it's right. Father, do we ignore something? ”

"My father can't see it, Xiu'er, what do you think is the purpose of Bailiyan?"

"It's hard to say, Bai Liyan's mind is very ghostly, he has assisted King Xian for more than ten years, and he should know King Xian's temperament well, and he should know that King Xian will definitely not agree to give up the land of the two counties.

If this is the case, then Bai Liyan knew about this result, and also wrote a letter to suggest that the two counties negotiate with the eldest grandson, and he would watch the situation deteriorate? No, the child guessed that he must have had another countermeasure, but this matter is unknown.

And the child is worried that Baili Yan will harbor evil intentions, involve my Gongliang clan in it, and support him for the faΓ§ade, then I will be passive. ”

"That's not all, the soldiers and horses of the Xian army are still in Changyin and Xiaguan, and our army has not entered Ganfu and Shangguan, how can we use him." Gongliangyi denied Gongliangxiu's worries, and then said: "However, I have to guard against Bailiyan, Huang Che's incident is enough to see Bailiyan's ferocious methods, just this blow will cut off the retreat of hundreds of thousands of rebels, and my father always feels that he has to make something earth-shattering." You immediately send a letter to your brother and ask him to watch out for Bailiyan. ”

"I understand my father, I will write a letter immediately and send someone to send it to Xiaguan."

Huang Che's incident anyway made Gong Liangyi see the fierce and decisive side of Baili Yan if he didn't move, and if he moved, he would die. What Gong Liangyi just thought of, Bailiyan has already changed hands, once one step ahead of others can be said to be lucky, every time one step ahead, it is a matter of level.

Five days after Shentong fled into Juxia Pass, Ye Xin and Mo Yunfeng actively prepared to attack the city outside the pass, firing hundreds to thousands of shells every day, and the city wall was devastated.
