Hong Shan coaxed helplessly: "Where have you seen it, tell me quickly." I know how to do magic, and I will destroy it. ”

Ah Yi knew the lord's ability, and when he heard this, he pointed to the south direction with confidence: "Starting from here, we will go over two mountains, and we will arrive at the place where the devil lives." ”

"Then why do you call it the devil?"

"One time I came out of here hungry. So he went hunting, chased a rabbit on the way, and ran to the place where the devil lived. Because that day a bright one fell from the sky and hit it. It became angry and began to breathe fire, which burned for a long time before it was extinguished. When Ah Yi said this, he still had palpitations.

After listening to Ah Yi's description, Hong Shan estimated that nine out of ten of them were coal. Urging everyone to speed up their pace and rush towards the other side of the mountain.

After arriving at the destination, it was the same as Hongshan guessed. This large area of exposed coal is an open-pit coal mine, which is relatively easy to produce. The land under our feet is worthy of the title of coal capital. It's no wonder that Ah Yi can meet him when he goes the wrong way. These coals are all necessary for iron and steelmaking.

"Ah Yi, let's go, and when we go back, please eat grilled lamb chops." Hong Shan is very satisfied, he is so lucky, he can come whatever he wants.

On the way back to the base camp, Hong Shan learned that the A family had been doing this for several lifetimes and had some experience. Such specialists must be placed in artisan workshops to specialize in the refining of iron ore. I just went over tonight to instruct them on how to do it, this good thing must be brought out as soon as possible.

At that time, Hongda will arrange an army to be stationed here in the iron ore and coal mining areas. Because in two days, a large number of laborers will be stationed, and the source will continue to be mined. At that time, there will be refining, processing, and transportation together. Hongshan imagined that after the development of mineral resources here in the future, a lively town would be created.

After Hongshan arranged all the work, the person in charge below was also in full swing. It's clear that time is running out for them. It was only about thirty days, and Chi You was about to lead the army to fight, so he rushed to meet the schedule.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. The whole Hongcheng is under construction everywhere, showing a lively and extraordinary scene, giving people a kind of vitality.

Hong Shan patrolled all over the city, checking the situation of each project to see if there were some problems that needed to be arranged by himself, and assisted in dealing with them.

At this time, from the direction of the city gate, a horse galloped from afar, and after dismounting: "Report to the city lord, scout a group of Hong Min, and come back to report." He was sent to the Yandi tribe to communicate with the alliance.

"Good work," Hong Shan beckoned to him, found a clean place to sit down, and listened to the report.

I learned that the base camp of the Yandi tribe now takes ten days to ride a horse from here. However, Emperor Yan was leading his army outside at this time, and he was fighting with the vassal army below Chi You, the Flying Dragon Tribe.

Because the Flying Dragon Tribe, as the vanguard of Chiyou, has killed many of Emperor Yan's clansmen. This time, the Flying Dragon Tribe went out on a mission alone, and Emperor Yan knew about it, and sent troops to trap the Flying Dragon Tribe in a canyon called Deli, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

If you start from Hongcheng, it is not far to ride a horse. It takes two days to arrive, and about seven days to walk.

It's better to come early than to come by chance, Hong Shan thought, then he would simply go close and lead the troops to Deli Canyon, just to help Emperor Yan, which can be regarded as a meeting gift. Otherwise, going to Emperor Yan's base camp to communicate would be too time-consuming.

Quickly return to the camp and convene a meeting of the cavalry regiment and platoons and above. After the increase in troops, the cavalry regiment now has a strength of 3,000 personnel, and three regiments have been established. So Hong Dong was also promoted and served as the head of a regiment. Because this regiment is tenacious, I took them out this time.

At the meeting, after Hong Shan briefly stated the destination and requirements, the cavalry regiment went back half an hour to pack up its equipment, and went out of the city with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, heading straight to the Deli Gorge.

Hongshan They changed horses all the way without changing people, nor did they get off the horse to rest, and directly slept while riding on the horse. In a later dynasty, when the Mongol cavalry attacked Europe, this was the case. In order to be in a hurry, they rode one horse by themselves, and they also carried two horses for spare, and even ate and drank Lazar on the horse.

Finally arrived here in advance, and saw that Emperor Yan and a few of his subordinates had already greeted him at the gate of the camp.

Emperor Yan came up and hugged him warmly, exclaiming: "Lord Hong, you are really young, let me admire." After speaking, he looked at those mighty cavalrymen with envy.

After entering and taking a seat, Hong Shan asked straight to the point: "I don't know what the leader of Emperor Yan thinks about us forming an alliance to deal with Chiyou. ”

Emperor Yan said that in terms of forming an alliance, he and the Lord of Hong City considered the same, and the more tribes that rebelled against Chiyou could join, the better. He was now allied with the Emperor's tribe, and three other tribes with populations of about a thousand, and the smaller tribes had become new allies.

There are now 25,000 members of the Confederate army, and they are lobbying other tribes to join in.

This time, in the Deli Canyon, the Wyvern tribe was trapped with 5,000 people, and if this heinous accomplice could be eliminated, then the available soldiers on Chiyou's side would only be 60,000.

This is also the rich experience of Emperor Yan and the Emperor tribe in fighting with Chiyou in the past few years. Constantly weaken the opponent's forces, gradually encroach, and strengthen themselves.

But time is tight, and the Wyvern Tribe needs to be destroyed as soon as possible. Because the news here has been transmitted back to the Chiyou tribe, it is estimated that the reinforcements over there are halfway there.

Emperor Yan estimated that the reinforcements were around 15,000 people, and if he delayed for a while, he would be besieged. So for Hongshan they to come, it is very welcome.

"City Lord Hong, may I ask how many people you brought this time?" After Emperor Yan finished talking about the crisis here, he couldn't help but ask.

"A thousand."

"A thousand?" Emperor Yan was a little disappointed in his heart, but he also knew that the other party had a good intention to come over. It may also be a small tribe, only the strength is like this, but it is quite grateful.

Hong Shan: "That's it, time is tight, let's not be polite here." Trouble the leader of the Yan Emperor to arrange someone to take us to see the battlefield and see if there is anything we can help with. ”

So the group came to the top of the canyon, and on both sides of the top were the people of the Yan Emperor. Below was a long canyon, and the bottom of the valley was blocked by Emperor Yan's men on both sides. Therefore, the people of the Flying Dragon Tribe rushed up and killed without their lives.

After taking a look, Hongshan found that there were no stones in this mountain forest, and the trees were scarce. Unable to borrow the environment to deal with the enemy, it is no wonder that the people of the Yandi tribe fight hard. Purely relying on simple weapons such as spears, short bows, and wooden sticks, it is similar to hand-to-hand combat.

Although it occupies a favorable geographical position, it is not good for weapons, and it is also a blind delay in effort.
