Since the Demon Temple has also seen intensive use of war birds and the power of divine machine crossbows, it will not be able to provide spiritual birds in the early stage, but will provide three red beasts to the Jingjue Army every month.
When production was severely damaged and has not yet been effectively restored, the war potential of Heyang and Yanmen counties was squeezed to the extreme. The Black Yan Army fought several battles this year and did not seem to be defeated. However, after each battle, , the strength has suffered a small loss, it can be said that it is getting worse every time.
The Black Yan Army was very powerful at the beginning, but after the eight clans in Jingjun and the other thirty-six princes and clans slowed down Liu Lai, the Black Yan Army's life was not so easy.
Chen Hai and Dong Ning joined hands and flew back to Lukai Castle.
Not only was Han Cainiang waiting in Lukai Fort at this time, but Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang escorted the first batch of Zhang family criminals back to Juquan Ridge, and at this time they also returned to the desert from Juquan Ridge.
Miao Mingcheng and the disciples who were guarding the cliff of Lukai Gorge did something, that is, they took the green lynx spirit beast and submerged themselves into the top of the glacier cliff in Wushaoling.
At this time, in addition to the Huben Army and the Xiyuan Army attacking the Black Yan Army from Jiyang, Heyang, Lichuan and other counties, under the leadership of Qin Muhou Dong Shou, Hexi reinforced Yanjing and attacked the Black Yan Army's elite troops. It has increased to 40,000 people.
Of course, Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion will not admit this even if they are beaten to death, but the Dong, Miao and other clans have already begun to dispatch clan masters to join forces with the Xiyuan Army to block the passage at the northeastern foot of the Qintong Mountains. The supply of war equipment to the Yan army has actually been forced to stop.
Of course, it is easy for Chen Hai to propose new directions for improvement, but it is not easy to achieve this.
Previously, the Qinwang Army sent by the Miao, Dong and other tribes also used soy sauce in battlefields such as Heyang and Lichuan in the early stage, so they turned a blind eye to the Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion's sale of war weapons to the Black Yan Army. Eyes will not be too broad.
Although there is no big breakthrough in this regard, from the current several plans, it can be seen that the standards of many master craftsmen of the Craftsmen Association are indeed not bad, and their ideas are also very imaginative, and they are no longer rigidly bound to tradition.
The new improvement direction seems to have no difficulty at all when implemented, but it represents two completely different development ideas; the latter can make the Shenji Chariot truly popular and can also greatly improve the shooting stability of the Shenji Crossbow. , the significance is really extraordinary.
In the past, Chen Hai would supply 20,000 gold-hardened arrows from Juquan Ridge to the Black Yan Army every month. This matter seemed to be a secret, but it could not be hidden from the eyes of those who were really interested.
"Would the Demon Temple be worried? Would they think it was a trap set by Hexi for them?" Dong Ning stopped above Tianxuan Lake, looking at the snow peaks of the distant mountains, and asked Chen Hai worriedly.
Regardless of what subsequent decisions the Red Eyebrow Sect will make, whether to continue to be trapped in Heyang and Yanmen, or to break out of the siege and move to areas where the sect is weak, the Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion can only interrupt its contact with the Black Yan Army for the time being. .
Su Ling was beside Chen Hai and was worried when she heard these things, but Chen Hai knew that this was the general trend and he could not save it by himself.
It is difficult for others to discern anything from these simple diagrams. Chen Hai has a deep understanding of machine puppetry and has devoted a lot of energy to the divine machine crossbow and divine machine chariot. Knowing these simple pictures, it is really a gathering of information. The most precious research result of the Ridge Craftsman Association in this period of time.
Especially for high-level combat cavalry, even though the lethality is far from comparable to that of a divine machine chariot equipped with a divine machine crossbow, its impact is not much weaker than that of a divine machine chariot. What is more worth mentioning is that the sprint speed of high-level combat cavalry is much higher. It is much faster than the divine machine chariot built at this time.
Although the Black Yan Army has suffered no losses in several battles this year and has won and lost with the Xiyuan Army and Huben Army, the only areas that the Black Yan Army can fully control at this time are Heyang and Yanmen counties.
After the war of the Elite Army, the cavalry was reduced to 5,000 people, but currently they can only exchange spirit beasts from the Demon Temple to serve as elite cavalry and high-level battle cavalry for mid-to-high-level military attachés.
The Craftsman Association gathered nine master-level weapon refiners and mechanism puppet masters. In more than a year, they came up with many plans for manufacturing intermediate tanks, but they still failed to meet Chen Hai's requirements.
Chen Hai hopes that low-level martial arts cultivators and metaphysics cultivators with Tongxuan realm cultivation base can command a divine machine chariot, so that the divine machine chariot can truly become popular on the battlefield.
With Miao Mingcheng's strong cultivation, he could cross numerous glaciers and ridges. As long as there were no other delays on the way, it would only take five or six days to get to the Demon Temple. In other words, Chen Hai and the others would only have to wait for ten and a half days at the earliest. Within a month, you will know the Demon Temple’s decision.
After getting the drawings, Chen Hai first asked the craftsmen of the Craftsman Camp to modify the existing ten-horse chariot of the Chenu Camp. He personally retreated in Lukaibao and concentrated on researching the manufacturing plan of the intermediate chariot.
A total of twenty-three of these independent princes and clans entered the Qinwang Army into Jiyang, Heyang, Lichuan and other places to fight against the Black Yan Army.
"I'm worried about this too." Chen Hai sighed softly. The conditions he offered to the Demon Temple were favorable enough and beneficial enough to the Demon Temple, but it was precisely favorable enough to the Demon Temple. hesitate.
At this time, the Qinwang Army of the Miao, Dong and other tribes were about to officially engage in battle with the Black Yan Army, and they would no longer allow the Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion to continue to supply the Black Yan Army with war equipment.
In addition to these things, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang also brought several sketches when they came this time.
And the soldiers and horses of King Qin who reinforced Yanjing were far more than just Hexi.
Xiyuan Army and Huben Army, after every battle, their casualties and losses can be replenished in time, and they have gradually gained the upper hand. At this time, the other 23rd Route Qinwang Army saw through the weakness of the Black Yan Army, and their activities on the flanks became more frequent.
Chen Hai looked at the rolling snow peaks deep in Wushaoling. He had too many things to do, but even if the Jingjue Army occupied a place in Lucheng and Heishan, the space left for him was still too small.
At this time, Hexi and other nine families also explicitly requested the Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion to interrupt the supply of gold-hardened arrows and other war weapons to the Black Yan Army.
Chen Hai currently does not know where Ning Chan'er is, whether she is with the Black Yan Army, in Yunmengze, or continues to lurk in Yanjing, waiting for opportunities to disrupt the situation in Yanjing and gain more support for the Black Yan Army. Breathing room
Chen Hai has to wait for the reply from the Demon Temple during this period, and will stay in Lukai Castle for the time being. However, Dong Ning, as the supreme leader of the Jingjue Protectorate, and the Jingjue Protectorate, in addition to Lucheng, there are also other places Everything was full of waste, but she had no way to stay in Lukai Castle and accompany Chen Hai.
A cunning black horse is even twice as fast as an ordinary strong horse or a magical chariot.
However, Chen Hai did not feel that he had done something wrong by leaking the secret of Lukai Gorge to the Demon Temple.
Although heavy armored cavalry and armored horse formations have many shortcomings, they will not be eliminated from the battlefield in a short period of time until the divine machine chariots develop to be powerful enough.
When he initially refused Ning Chan'er's recruitment, in addition to disapproving of the practices of the Red Eyebrow Sect and the Black Yan Army, he also clearly realized that the Red Eyebrow Sect was not yet capable of fundamentally shaking the sect's rule over Yanzhou.
Counting the time, Miao Mingcheng delayed his return to the Demon Temple for ten days. It can be seen that there was a lot of debate among the senior officials of the Demon Temple about this matter. He probably tried to trade with the Jingjue Army because he really couldn't see where the trap was.
In addition, the craftsmen will improve the car body structure, which is in line with Chen Hai's expectations.
In the past, sects had the tradition of making chariots. Whether they were chariots for the sect's dignitaries to ride on, or chariots for charging on the battlefield, they were all regarded as part of the sect's weapon refining, so the sects and sects were very concerned about the manufacturing of chariots. It’s not new to me, but before, I would only consider the needs of intermediate and advanced martial arts and mystical cultivators.
The Jingjue Army already looks impressive, but if you put it on the wider battlefield of the Jinyan states, you will find that the Jingjue Army is nothing at all.
When Chen Hai left Juquan Ridge more than a year ago, he proposed a new improvement direction for the Shenji Chariot. He hoped to use the weight reduction effect of the Space Talisman Array or the Wind Control Talisman Array directly in the manufacturing of the chariot, so that it could Create a stronger, stronger, faster mid-level tank.
Miao Mingcheng will stay and preside over the Demon Temple's guild hall in Lucheng. He also actually presides over the secret deal with the Jing Jue Army. It is agreed that in the initial period, one divine machine chariot, two divine machine crossbow core components and 60,000 kilograms of high-quality tempering will be provided every month. Gold and iron trading volume.
In the battle of Yuchi City, if Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng had sufficient defense against the destructive power of the Shenji chariot and only needed to deploy two to three hundred heavily armored elite cavalry behind the shield wall, the final battle situation would probably have been completely different.
In addition to the chariot and crossbow battalions and war bird battalions, the future elite army will also need to gradually strengthen the cavalry battalions, horse infantry and spear heavy armor troops.
It may take several years or even ten years of construction before the five thousand cavalry of the Jingjue Army can truly be compared with the heavy armored cavalry in the Hexi Dao Yamen.
Reinforcements from ordinary counties were all organized into the Huben Army or the Xiyuan Army. However, like the Dong family, the powerful vassals from other counties, which had the status of princes and clans, sent King Qin's troops to the number of between 30,000 and 50,000. , but they are all elite soldiers fighting independently.
As for the new direction of improvement, Chen Hai hopes that the spiritual shield formed by the defensive talisman array will be placed inside the carriage to prevent the personnel inside from being too strongly impacted when the two armies engage in battle. Even if the carriage armor will be damaged on the battlefield, it can be repaired after the war as long as it does not disintegrate directly.
Now it is just through Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang that Chen Hai is presented with several plans that are most likely to be close to the goal, hoping that Chen Hai can make further breakthroughs.
Although the Qinwang Army in Hexi and other places will not fight head-on with the Black Yan Army, they occupy the dangerous passes of the rivers and hold on, or take advantage of the emptiness in the rear of the Black Yan Army and advance step by step, which are constantly compressing the Black Yan Army's strategic space, making The Black Yan Army could only face unfavorable situations and was forced to frequently engage in battles with the Huben Army and the Xiyuan Army, which were advancing from the front.
In the past, the Divine Machine Chariot used the defensive talisman array refined into the bottom of the vehicle to add a layer of defensive spirit cover outside the armor, weakening the direct impact on the armor of the carriage when the two armies were engaged in battle. However, the passengers in the carriage, If you don't have enough cultivation, you can easily be injured or killed directly by the shock.
After sending Dong Ning and Han Cainiang away, Wu Meng and Qi Hanjiang had time to slowly talk to Chen Hai about the current situation in Yanzhou.
Time passed quickly, and it was twenty days before Miao Mingcheng returned to Lukaibao and agreed to the transaction conditions proposed by Chen Hai.
