Section 24: Kangzhen
Due to the need to support Huang Biao's army to fight the Blue Horse Army stationed in Huaiting, what Hongshan lacked now was cavalry that could move quickly. There is no Red Mountain, not to mention the cavalry of the formation, that is, there is no cavalry squad.
Outside the Red Mountain, there was a mobile blockade of the Blue Horse's West Sea Cavalry and the 37th Regiment. Don't talk about fighting! It's hard to get close.
In the wilderness of the sandy grass beach, the infantry of the Red Mountain Army against the cavalry? Liu Qingshan didn't have to think about it to know what the result was.
What can pose an effective threat to the cavalry is the crossbow machine and bow and arrow, and the 'Sanhua' is not bad, but it is only now in trial production, and the production is too low. According to the forging speed of the DreamWorks repair team, even if it is officially put into production, it will not be there soon. After all, the conditions of Red Mountain are limited.
The fine iron has just been shipped back for less than 10 days, and it is difficult to equip a battalion in a short time!
The sky outside the tent has been slightly bright, the fierce cold wind has stopped its roar all night, the morning of the Red Mountain is particularly early, and the Yuwen culture on the military field is already parading the team in the morning exercise.
Liu Qingshan stretched his neck, which was staring at the map for a long time, and twisted back and forth. I washed my face, blew out the pine lamp, and walked out of the tent.
The earth was no longer green, a bleak yellow, in the darkness before dawn, like a thick ink, black whirring. Wisps of smoke rose from the camp in the distance, the people of the new village were still asleep, and the whole red mountain was covered in a thin mountain mist.
In the West Hills Dream Factory, the dog didn't sleep all night. Recently, the smelting furnace built by the local method in the factory is not very easy to use. The main reason is that the furnace temperature is low, and the efficiency of molten iron is too low. He and the blacksmith Hula Xiao made several improvements to the furnace, but the effect was not very obvious.
The dog looked at the miscellaneous notes that Tie Magnolia gave when he bought Yuan Ji in Kyoto. This is a miscellaneous book about formations, which mentions some magic circles that help fire.
The formation of this world is very magical. According to the miscellaneous notes, the formation is divided into 4 categories. Human array, object array, yuan array, rune array, simply put, [human array] is to form a formation of people, so that the people in the formation can cooperate, intersperse, arrange, and attack according to a specific line. [Object Array] is a bit like the mechanics of the previous life, mainly focusing on mechanisms and traps. When the Red Mountain Army fought Ulan Iron in front, the flying grass and wooden platoons used belonged to the material array. [Yuan Array] is the use of various attributes of the Yuan Force in the air, when you trigger it, it will trigger elemental resonance or ignition, such as various guardian enchantments, teleportation arrays, sword mountains composed of Yuan Force, or a sea of fire and haze. [Rune Array] generally exists in weapons, armor, and rune paper, and the wind rune that blesses the speed of the arrow, the armor-breaking rune of the Yuan weapon knife, and the flying rune paper that can escape into the air are actually a kind of rune array. This kind of symbol is generally composed of various graphic symbols, and when triggered, the unique function of the symbol is activated.
The dog is attracted to a kind of Yuan Array called Fire Stealing, which is a kind of fire element stone (a stone that absorbs the fire element) in a certain proportion, and then uses the Yuan Qi to do some special treatment to form a array. The minimum requirements for the cultivation of those who set up the formation, the Dao Power Realm, and the formation qualification are seven grades. Seeing this, the dog resolutely skipped over, not to mention the cultivation of the power realm, as far as the seventh-grade array mage qualification is concerned, it is also something that he doesn't know how many years it will take.
Then he looked at some rune arrays, either they needed special treatment for the corresponding vitality or the materials needed were too difficult to find, so he skipped them one by one.
Soon a kind of object array called wind and fire attracted him, this kind of formation does not need the formation grade and yuan force to form a formation, the only thing needed is a stone called Fengxing. This kind of stone is not difficult to find in Huang Yao, Luoqing has a Longling stone vein, and the associated mine is this kind of Fengxing stone that is mainly used by people to build houses and build land. The stone is hard and fire-resistant. When mining Longling stone, many of these wind stones are associated with it, and most of them are used for architectural decoration due to the smooth surface of the stone.
This formation is to place the wind stones in a specific position to form an air duct similar to that used to support combustion and combine with the furnace. The dog knew that when smelting fine iron in a furnace, too much air in the furnace would lower the furnace temperature, and too little would slow down the combustion rate, and the temperature in the furnace would not be able to superimpose.
The dog has also tried several ventilation methods in previous lives, but the results are not ideal. But with this formation in front of him, he was almost certain that it would work. In his opinion, this is basically a kind of automatic adjustment of the furnace air inlet system, the air duct built by this method can speed up the air inlet speed as much as possible, and this speed is controlled by the special structure of the formation according to the combustion situation in the furnace. Similar to the electronic temperature control system of the previous life.
All the structural drawings of the formation were drawn, and the required materials were calculated. It was already dawn, and the dog sorted out what he had made for the next night. I washed my face, and then I began to go into a delusional state to rest.
Ren Tang and Liu Qingshan and their gang are going to find a path that can lead to Huaiting along the low slope on the periphery of the Red Mountain today, so that they can go straight to the flank of Huaiting's blue horse.
When a group of people were really about to leave, the herald came to report that a woman claiming to be a friend of Liu Qingshan was coming to visit, and was now being pressed by Ding Hai on the second beam.
It just so happened that Liu Qingshan and the others were also going out, and they didn't call the herald to lead them, so Liu Qingshan and Rentang walked towards Erdaoliang.
On the second beam, Ding Hai saw that it was Liu Qingshan who came and ran over, pointed to the woman not far behind him and said, "Head!" The woman said、、、、"
"General!"
"It's you!" Liu Qingshan was a little surprised, and almost spoke out at the same time as the other party.
This woman is none other than Liu Qingshan's kneeling husband and daughter who helped him at the Tianshui Bridge in the imperial capital, and did not answer Liu Qingshan's words, the woman bowed and said, "Pingnu Dongmen Xue has seen General Liu!" ”。
"Dongmen Snow?"
"Dongmen Snow?"
Liu Qingshan and Ren Tang said almost at the same time.
Ren Tang took a step forward and asked uncertainly, "Is that Mr. Wang's registered disciple Dongmen Xue?" ”
Dongmen Xue nodded without speaking.
Liu Qingshan forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, look at his luck, he went to the imperial capital and sent a good heart casually, and he ran into Dongmen Xue! What kind of luck is this?
Su Ping pushed Liu Qingshan in hysteria.
Liu Qingshan reflected, and said a little embarrassed, "Ah! Yes! There are so many 、、、 in Kyoto."
"As it should be!" Without waiting for Liu Qingshan to finish speaking, the East Gate Snow interface.
Then Liu Qingshan introduced Rentang, Liu Shan, Huo Wuxiang, Tie Yulan, and Su Ping to Dongmen Xue.
Dongmen Xue returned the salute one by one, and his demeanor was very dignified.
Dongmen Xue is the idol of the Huang Yao Empire, Liu Qingshan and their generation, cultivating at the age of 8, a monk of the Yuan Force Realm at the age of 12, and representing Huang Yao at the age of 15 to participate in the Continent's Yuan Qi Realm Competition, ranking ninth in the mainland. At the age of 16, he cultivated to the Yuan Qi Realm, and was captured and cultivated as an imperial wanted criminal who had reached the Yuan Artistic Conception, and the leader of the cult, Nayetus. Graduated from the Imperial Southern Academy, also known as the Literary Academy. After being silent for a while, at the age of 19, the Imperial Prime Minister's Office Shaobao did not count Wang Qiming as a registered disciple, and she was also the only successor of Wang Qiming.
After everyone greeted each other, they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and according to Liu Qingshan's intention, they wanted to send Dongmen Xue back to the camp.
Seeing that the snow at the east gate did not seem to be fake, Liu Qingshan readily agreed, and the group turned over the two beams and marched towards Huaiting along the periphery of the Red Mountain.
Two days later, Red Hill Camp. The sky just flashed dark, and Liu Qingshan and the others sat by the bonfire on the military field, and the three stews looked unhappy, because Rentang rushed to roast the goat, saying that he was the best at this.
Yu Wenhua put the military coat into his arms with one arm, and listened to Liu Shan continue to tell the story of their Huang Biao army. Huo Wuxiang is reminding Ren Tang not to put too much salt.
"You say, what's wrong with you!" Xie Yuanhui opened Wu Xiaoman's hand and said with a scolding grin.
Wu Xiaoman looked innocent, "What's wrong?" If you want to taste it, you won't let me? ”
The scene was chaotic.
"That's it! All right! Xie Yuanhui tasted the roasted goat meat and shouted excitedly.
Su Ping pushed the three stews, pointed at Rentang and said, "Three stews, hit him!" ”。
Sanzhu'er touched his head, smiled and said embarrassedly, "Don't dare!" ”
"Alas!" A few young soldiers cheered.
The current Dongmen snow is not the same thing as two days ago, a fox skin white robe, a blue cloth skirt hooked the clouds, hair coiled in a high bun, with his handsome facial features, the person itself is quiet, the bonfire is reflected on the face, the light and shadow jump and jump, in this noisy winter night, the picture has an indescribable charm. It's a pity that Ding Hai didn't come at night today, or Ding Hai would say that Dongmen Xue is a fairy in the sky when he sees a middle school, really~!
Even Tie Magnolia, who was sitting on the side, was much quieter.
The dog smelled the smell of meat in the air from afar, pulled Feng Zhanyun to speed up his pace, and shouted from time to time "You hurry up!" Hurry up! Or it's gone! ”。
Unknowingly, everyone had already eaten six roast goats, and they didn't know if Rentang was tired of roasting, or if he was taking care of the face of the three stews, so he finally returned the roast ingredients to the three stews, and then found a place to sit down next to Liu Qingshan.
It lasted until it was completely dark, and they were basically full, and everyone began to discuss the matter of visiting Huaiting in the past two days.
According to the idea of Huo Wuxiang, he wanted to pass through the gentle slope along the periphery of the Red Mountain to Huaiting, and when the Blue Horse people were caught off guard, he fought Huaiting at the same time as Huang Biaojun.
Ren Tang also basically agreed with Huo Wuxiang's thinking, Liu Qingshan and Su Ping didn't say anything, just listened to the battle plan of the two old men.
Dongmen Xue tore off a piece of meat and handed it to the dog, who patted his belly, meaning that he couldn't eat it.
Rentang's roasted goat is indeed delicious, the entrance is charred outside and tender inside, there is a small amount of fat into the throat when first chewing, very chewy, with this faint smell of fireworks, wrapped in condiments according to preference, the taste 、、、 dog unconsciously shows a little small.
The campfire was a little quieter than it had been before.
Liu Qingshan, Liu Shan, Yu Wenhua, and Su Ping also felt that Huo Wuxiang was reasonable, and added some specific details, just when the matter was basically settled, Dongmen Xue straightened the bangs in front of him and said, "Generals, have you considered it in case you can't stand it?" ”
Everyone was stunned.
Ren Tang and Liu Qingshan groaned.
Dongmen Xue continued, "We are both doing it at the same time, and the Blue Horse people seem to be inferior, but they don't see it!" Nusi had already thought about it at the time of the invasion, and the flood discharge of the Blue Horse Fujiang was not only to fight Luoshui, but also to block the Huang Biao army Yu Xizha of the pole. We also know that there are as many as 10,000 Blue Horse troops in Huaiting, and to the west of Huaiting are the Fujiang Waterway and the Luo River, and the terrain is also narrow because of the two rivers, and the army cannot attack the city at all! He put a piece of wood into the fire, patted the floating soil on his hand, and then said, "The blue horse people have good bows and sharp weapons, and the high walls of Huaiting City are thick. Only 2,000 soldiers are needed to block the onslaught of Huang Biao's army on the 1st. There are less than 5,000 soldiers who can fight on our side, not to mention that the small road we explored cannot transport troops on the south bank of the Fujiang River in a short time, that is, the gods and ghosts have crossed the Fujiang River unconsciously, once the city is attacked, it will take 1 hour for the news bird to seal the mouth of the river from Huaiting to the 37th regiment station, and with the mobility of the 37th regiment, it will return to defense in two hours! That is to say, the Blue Horse people only need to hold on for 3 hours," Dongmen Xue said and drew a simple Huaiting topographic map on the ground, and then said while drawing, "That is, we must break the city within 3 hours, otherwise we will be caught by the Blue Horse people in the front and back of the walnuts, and the north is Fujiang, and there is no chance to escape." ”
No one answered, only the crackling of the campfire as the pine knots burned.
After a pause, Dongmen Xue pointed to the east side of the simple map with a tree branch and said, "Luoshui!" From Luoshui to Huaiting, the Bu army is a little more than half a day, that is, we can't beat Huai Ting in a day, and the blue horse Bu army in Luoshui will also arrive! Not to mention the Blue Horse Army and the Blue Horse Water Garrison Army stationed in various villages and towns, although they are not a formation, they are the strength of the Blue Horse Army after all, these are all things we have to consider! ”
Huo Wuxiang said in a solemn tone, "What do you mean by a girl?" ”
"We can't attack far away with the Blue Horse people, the Blue Horse is rich in magic crystals, and the number of gas cars is huge, 1,000 meters, we don't have nearly 10,000 troops to fill it at all. Can melee combat? I didn't dare to say before, but this afternoon I looked at the armor and crossbows of the DreamWorks and felt that we were better equipped than the Blue Horses in close combat, and the cavalry liked to slaughter infantry at close range. Why don't we go along with him and catch him off guard! Saying that, Dongmen Xue drew a circle on the simple map, and then said: "If you want to fight Huaiting, you must first destroy the 37th regiment." The Blue Horse people are clever and self-excavating. Originally, the Nusi Drain Fujiang River wanted to create a narrow area separated by two rivers in Huaiting to resist Huang Biao's army from advancing eastward into Luoshui. But he never expected that our Red Mountain Army would escape from death, and the 37th Regiment was the only cavalry of the Nusi Legion. The narrowness of the two rivers brought only inconvenience to the Huang Biao army, but to the 37th regiment, it was fatal, here! Dongmen Xue pointed to the circle just drawn on the simple map.
Everyone almost unanimously said, "Kangzhen!" ”。
