The Helan Sword Sect has been established in Helanchuan for thousands of years, and its history is even older than that of the Taiwei Sect. The Taiwei Sect was even a vassal of the Helan Sword Sect for a time. Until the rise of the mighty god Dong Liang, the Taiwei Sect Only then did he get rid of the shadow of Helan Jianzong.
Comparing such a huge disparity in consumption, Hexiang's army could no longer hold on after holding on to the main city of Wenhubu's defense line for more than ten days.
At this time, two groups of troops from the Musashi Army to reinforce Tsurukawa had just arrived outside Shining City. They were preparing to attack Shining, which was captured by Qin Muhou Dong Shou, and open up a waterway to aid Tsurukawa. At this time, They were also forced to retreat hastily and open contact with Dong Shou's troops.
Queen Cang, the main force of the Hexiang Army, withdrew, and the large and small Xuanxiu clans to which Helan Jianzong belonged, in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by Hexi elites, had no choice but to abandon the caves in Hechuan Ridge.
The speed at which warbirds like the black-feathered vulture can advance is far beyond the reach of ordinary disciples flying in the wind. After fighting back and forth several times, the Helan Sect sword cultivator suffered heavy injuries and did not dare to fight out from behind the defense line anymore. He was abandoned to fight in the sky above the battlefield. competition.
Although the Helan Sword Sect has produced two figures on the Taoist realm's top list in modern times, Xiling Sword Master Xie Jueyuan, who is the guardian elder of the Sword Sect, has a bad relationship with Huang Qiwei, the ancestor of the Huang family and the leader of the Helan Sword Sect. Acknowledgments Jue Yuan has lived in Yanjing for many years and served as deputy envoy of Tianshu Academy. He has not returned to Hechuan for decades.
At this time, Hexi could get an additional 100,000 to 150,000 kilograms of high-quality tempered iron from Lucheng every month. What could Hexiang's army do to compete with Hexi
In addition, the main reason is that the operation of the heavy catapult is too easy. Whether it is mining, transporting stone projectiles, or operating the catapult to throw stone projectiles in front of the enemy's formation, ordinary people without any cultivation can complete it.

What's more important is that Xie Jueyuan and Huang Qiwei, two people on the Tianlist, have been practicing for more than 600 years. Their cultivation has already passed its peak stage, and they can no longer suppress Dong Liang's edge in the Northwest Territory; Helan The Sword Sect no longer has the glory of being the first sect in the Northwest Territory.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Hexiang Army abandoned the Wenhubu defense line, which caused great damage to morale.

The main force of the Hexiang Army and the large and small sects in Hechuan County were forced to split into two groups after the forward troops of the Hexi Army fought their way out of the Hechuan Ridge, heading all the way to the foundation of the Helan Sword Sect and toward the Helan River and the Helan Mountains. Retreat all the way to Meishan at the junction of Hechuan Ridge and Qinchuan County.
The Helan Sword Sect has been established in Helanchuan for thousands of years, and its history is even older than that of the Taiwei Sect. The Taiwei Sect was even a vassal of the Helan Sword Sect for a time. Until the rise of the mighty god Dong Liang, the Taiwei Sect Only then did he get rid of the shadow of Helan Jianzong.
Four to five hundred miles south of Hechuan Ridge, all the way to the shores of Hechuan Lake, there is a flat plain. There is no danger to defend. Although the weak Hexiang Army has not suffered a devastating blow, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It's available, but I don't dare to compete with Hexi in Pingyuan City here.
At this time, Hexi could get an additional 100,000 to 150,000 kilograms of high-quality tempered iron from Lucheng every month. What could Hexiang's army do to compete with Hexi
Hexi was eager to marry the Western Qiang Kingdom two years ago in order to be able to free up its hands as soon as possible to attack Hechuan County.
Queen Cang, the main force of the Hexiang Army, withdrew, and the large and small Xuanxiu clans to which Helan Jianzong belonged, in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by Hexi elites, had no choice but to abandon the caves in Hechuan Ridge.
Seven years ago, in the name of chasing down the rebels who surrendered to Hexiang's army, Dong Liang, the mighty god of martial arts, led his troops to break out of Yulong Mountain and occupy a large area of land north of Hechuan Ridge. However, considering the Helan Jianzong and Hexiang's According to the military background, there are no plans to invade Hechuan Ridge in the short term.
Relying on the Helan Sword Sect, the Huang clan has ruled Hechuan County with the Hexiang Army for more than two hundred years. Although the situation is declining, the foundation of the Hexiang Army, the Huang clan and the Helan Sword Sect cannot be underestimated. Peeping.
Of course, the Hexiang Army also mastered the manufacturing drawings of the counterweighted catapult crossbow, and also tried to manufacture and deploy a large number of catapult crossbows on the defense line for confrontation. However, the heavy weighted catapult crossbow is not difficult to manufacture, and the manufacturing materials are not very difficult. The strength requirements are extremely high.
What's more important is that Xie Jueyuan and Huang Qiwei, two people on the Tianlist, have been practicing for more than 600 years. Their cultivation has already passed its peak stage, and they can no longer suppress Dong Liang's edge in the Northwest Territory; Helan The Sword Sect no longer has the glory of being the first sect in the Northwest Territory.

However, considering the Helan Jianzong and Hexiang's According to the military background, there are no plans to invade Hechuan Ridge in the short term.
What's more, the Hexi Army's forward line has also organized an additional three to five hundred Xuanxiu disciples. They don't even need to directly participate in the offensive and fighting. They only need to use defensive spells and seal talismans to resist the opponent's spiritual swords and magic weapons. By assisting the elite warriors to successfully advance forward quickly, you will be able to gain absolute advantage in the sky above the battlefield.
Even if the Hexiang Army can squeeze out 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms of quenched iron every year, it can only cast 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of quenched iron every year. How can this be enough for a large-scale war
In addition, the main reason is that the operation of the heavy catapult is too easy. Whether it is mining, transporting stone projectiles, or operating the catapult to throw stone projectiles in front of the enemy's formation, ordinary people without any cultivation can complete it.
Although the Hexiang Army made a large number of heavy shields and incorporated them into the army in order to prevent the rain of tempered arrows, the sharp soldiers of the Imperial Guard used war birds to rush in. Their tactics were flexible and changeable, and it could be said that they were impossible to defend against.
However, it was the rise of Juquan Ridge that really accelerated the change in the balance of power between Hexi and Hechuan.
The main city of Wenhubu's defense line has also been the focus of the Hexiang Army's operations in recent years. The city's strength is by no means inferior to that of Chishan City, and a large defensive array has been deployed. However, in addition to several firm and powerful counterattacks, Hexi In addition to causing considerable casualties, the soldiers and horses did not prevent the complete collapse of Wenhubu's defense line.
What's more, the Hexi Army's forward line has also organized an additional three to five hundred Xuanxiu disciples. They don't even need to directly participate in the offensive and fighting.

Queen Cang, the main force of the Hexiang Army, withdrew, and the large and small Xuanxiu clans to which Helan Jianzong belonged, in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by Hexi elites, had no choice but to abandon the caves in Hechuan Ridge.
However, after the seventy-second year of Emperor Yitian, the situation in Yanzhou changed drastically. The power of the royal family Ying clan and the Jingjun clan were seriously weakened. It can be said that the strong vassals in the border counties have completely lost control. Hexi is going to establish a true overlord of the northwest region. , it can be said that there is not much time before the Ying family of the royal family can straighten out the conflicts with the Jingjun clan and revitalize.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Hexiang Army abandoned the Wenhubu defense line, which caused great damage to morale.

Hexi was eager to marry the Western Qiang Kingdom two years ago in order to be able to free up its hands as soon as possible to attack Hechuan County.
Led by Du Yu, Dong Pu and other generals, the Hexi forward elite's offensive against Wenhu Port was simple and effective. It used the war bird battalion to control the airspace above the battlefield, and then used Tianji chariots, heavy armored cavalry and shield and halberd soldiers. The formed battle formation advanced layer by layer towards the many defense villages built by Hexiang Army in Wenhu Port, first competing for the open space outside the city wall.

In addition, the main reason is that the operation of the heavy catapult is too easy. Whether it is mining, transporting stone projectiles, or operating the catapult to throw stone projectiles in front of the enemy's formation, ordinary people without any cultivation can complete it.
Sect mystical cultivators or strong martial arts cultivators would ride in and out of the battlefield on spiritual birds. This was a common situation in battlefields in the past. However, whether it was sacrificing the magical sword or shooting with a bow, it would usually only be an evenly matched fight, except for both sides. There is a huge disparity in strength, otherwise it would be difficult to determine the trend of the entire battlefield.
This caused the Hexiang Army to destroy several or even a dozen heavy catapult crossbows and kill or injure hundreds or even thousands of heavy soldiers operating catapult crossbows every time they went out of the city to counterattack, but they were either killed or captured. , oneself will lose hundreds of elites.
Sword cultivators at the Spiritual Piercing Realm and the Mingqiao Realm or above can use their swords to attack distant enemies several miles or even twenty or thirty miles away, far beyond the range of the Tianji War Crossbow. However, as long as the Hexi Army's elite soldiers ride on war birds, they can Rushing within the range of two thousand steps, the rain of tempered gold arrows fired by the machine's crossbow was so powerful and dense that ordinary sword cultivators could not withstand it.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Hexiang Army abandoned the Wenhubu defense line, which caused great damage to morale.
However, it was the rise of Juquan Ridge that really accelerated the change in the balance of power between Hexi and Hechuan.
In addition, the main reason is that the operation of the heavy catapult is too easy. Whether it is mining, transporting stone projectiles, or operating the catapult to throw stone projectiles in front of the enemy's formation, ordinary people without any cultivation can complete it.
In just three days, the dozen or so strong defenses built by the Hexiang Army at the northern foot of Hechuan Ridge and Wenhubu were all demolished by Hexi one by one. The Hexi Army successfully advanced to the main city on the innermost side of the Wenhubu defense line. .
The other reinforcements of the Musashi Army had just walked halfway through the hinterland of Meishan, which stretched two to three thousand miles. At this time, they could only be forced to stop in Meishan. On the one hand, they accepted the forces of the Hexiang Army fleeing south, and on the other hand, they took risks in Meishan. Gushan Pass and build a stronger fortress to prevent Hexi from taking advantage of the situation to invade Qinchuan County from Meishan...
Whether it is a Tianji battle crossbow or a Tianji chariot, detailed manufacturing drawings are no longer a secret among the top sects. The Tianji chariot is easy to say. After all, the pavilion-level Tianji chariot only consumes 20,000 kilograms per ride. Hardened iron.
In more than ten days of offensive and defensive battles, nearly two hundred heavy catapults were destroyed in Hexi. However, the first counterweighted catapult that Chen Hai put into the battlefield in Heishan was too easy to manufacture. The Hexi Army's supply camp on the Chishan defense line , several heavy sling crossbows can be built every day and sent to the forward front.

What's more, the Hexiang Army has a strong foundation. Both the clan and the military camp have built a large number of chariots. With a little modification, it does not need to consume too much hardened iron. In the past two or three years, seventy or eighty pavilions have been modified. level Tianji chariot, but if Tianji war crossbows are to be promoted on a large scale in the military, there must be a sufficient supply of gold-hardened arrows.
After suffering heavy casualties, the Hexiang Army abandoned the Wenhubu defense line, which caused great damage to morale.
At this time, Hexi could get an additional 100,000 to 150,000 kilograms of high-quality tempered iron from Lucheng every month. What could Hexiang's army do to compete with Hexi
The Hexiang Army also organized more than 500 additional swordsmanship disciples with cultivation levels above the Spiritual Realm on the Wenhubu defense line to strengthen the attack on the defense line.
Even if the Hexiang Army can squeeze out 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms of quenched iron every year, it can only cast 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of quenched iron every year. How can this be enough for a large-scale war

These caves opened in the dangerous place of Hechuan Ridge were originally built together with the walled city of Wenhu Port to build a strong defense line in the northern part of Hechuan County. Who would have thought that in just over a month, they would be ruthlessly destroyed by the Hexi Army. Sharply torn into pieces
In more than ten days, Hexi lost more than 20,000 heavy troops, most of whom were civilian warriors who could be replenished at any time. In comparison, the Hexiang Army lost between 3 and 4,000 generals. It can be said that the casualties were extremely heavy, comparable to the most elite combat force of the Dao Yamen soldiers.

However, considering the Helan Jianzong and Hexiang's According to the military background, there are no plans to invade Hechuan Ridge in the short term.
From Wenhubu to the south, deep in the valley in the middle of Hechuan Ridge, although the Hexiang Army still built six strong defenses along the line, none of them could withstand the attack of the Hexi Army's forward battle formation for ten days.

Queen Cang, the main force of the Hexiang Army, withdrew, and the large and small Xuanxiu clans to which Helan Jianzong belonged, in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by Hexi elites, had no choice but to abandon the caves in Hechuan Ridge.
Each continuous shot of the mechanical crossbow is almost equivalent to a thousand-edged sword talisman. The tempered arrows reserved by the Hexi Army for this war are equivalent to 10,000 thousand-edged sword talismans, which can allow the forward generals to spend their money unscrupulously. .
However, it was the rise of Juquan Ridge that really accelerated the change in the balance of power between Hexi and Hechuan.

The speed at which warbirds like the black-feathered vulture can advance is far beyond the reach of ordinary disciples flying in the wind. After fighting back and forth several times, the Helan Sect sword cultivator suffered heavy injuries and did not dare to fight out from behind the defense line anymore. He was abandoned to fight in the sky above the battlefield. competition.
In addition to using ancient trees that are thousands of years old, the main accessories must also be cast from grade eight quenched iron, so that they can withstand stone projectiles weighing thousands or even thousands of kilograms thrown from three to five thousand steps away - every heavy-duty trebuchet crossbow. , the accessories alone will consume thousands of kilograms or even tens of thousands of kilograms of eighth-grade quenched iron.

What's more, the Hexiang Army has a strong foundation. Both the clan and the military camp have built a large number of chariots. With a little modification, it does not need to consume too much hardened iron. In the past two or three years, seventy or eighty pavilions have been modified. level Tianji chariot, but if Tianji war crossbows are to be promoted on a large scale in the military, there must be a sufficient supply of gold-hardened arrows.
Queen Cang, the main force of the Hexiang Army, withdrew, and the large and small Xuanxiu clans to which Helan Jianzong belonged, in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by Hexi elites, had no choice but to abandon the caves in Hechuan Ridge.
Although the Helan Sword Sect has produced two figures on the Taoist realm's top list in modern times, Xiling Sword Master Xie Jueyuan, who is the guardian elder of the Sword Sect, has a bad relationship with Huang Qiwei, the ancestor of the Huang family and the leader of the Helan Sword Sect. Acknowledgments Jue Yuan has lived in Yanjing for many years and served as deputy envoy of Tianshu Academy. He has not returned to Hechuan for decades.
In addition, the main reason is that the operation of the heavy catapult is too easy. Whether it is mining, transporting stone projectiles, or operating the catapult to throw stone projectiles in front of the enemy's formation, ordinary people without any cultivation can complete it.
The Helan Sword Sect has been established in Helanchuan for thousands of years, and its history is even older than that of the Taiwei Sect. The Taiwei Sect was even a vassal of the Helan Sword Sect for a time. Until the rise of the mighty god Dong Liang, the Taiwei Sect Only then did he get rid of the shadow of Helan Jianzong.
At this time, Hexi could get an additional 100,000 to 150,000 kilograms of high-quality tempered iron from Lucheng every month. What could Hexiang's army do to compete with Hexi
In just three days, the dozen or so strong defenses built by the Hexiang Army at the northern foot of Hechuan Ridge and Wenhubu were all demolished by Hexi one by one. The Hexi Army successfully advanced to the main city on the innermost side of the Wenhubu defense line. .

The Taiwei Sect was even a vassal of the Helan Sword Sect for a time. Until the rise of the mighty god Dong Liang, the Taiwei Sect Only then did he get rid of the shadow of Helan Jianzong.
However, it was the rise of Juquan Ridge that really accelerated the change in the balance of power between Hexi and Hechuan.
In more than ten days, Hexi lost more than 20,000 heavy troops, most of whom were civilian warriors who could be replenished at any time. In comparison, the Hexiang Army lost between 3 and 4,000 generals. It can be said that the casualties were extremely heavy, comparable to the most elite combat force of the Dao Yamen soldiers.
Four to five hundred miles south of Hechuan Ridge, all the way to the shores of Hechuan Lake, there is a flat plain. There is no danger to defend. Although the weak Hexiang Army has not suffered a devastating blow, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It's available, but I don't dare to compete with Hexi in Pingyuan City here.
However, after the seventy-second year of Emperor Yitian, the situation in Yanzhou changed drastically. The power of the royal family Ying clan and the Jingjun clan were seriously weakened. It can be said that the strong vassals in the border counties have completely lost control. Hexi is going to establish a true overlord of the northwest region. , it can be said that there is not much time before the Ying family of the royal family can straighten out the conflicts with the Jingjun clan and revitalize.
Although the Hexiang Army made a large number of heavy shields and incorporated them into the army in order to prevent the rain of tempered arrows, the sharp soldiers of the Imperial Guard used war birds to rush in. Their tactics were flexible and changeable, and it could be said that they were impossible to defend against.
The main city of Wenhubu's defense line has also been the focus of the Hexiang Army's operations in recent years. The city's strength is by no means inferior to that of Chishan City, and a large defensive array has been deployed. However, in addition to several firm and powerful counterattacks, Hexi In addition to causing considerable casualties, the soldiers and horses did not prevent the complete collapse of Wenhubu's defense line.
Comparing such a huge disparity in consumption, Hexiang's army could no longer hold on after holding on to the main city of Wenhubu's defense line for more than ten days.
This caused the Hexiang Army to destroy several or even a dozen heavy catapult crossbows and kill or injure hundreds or even thousands of heavy soldiers operating catapult crossbows every time they went out of the city to counterattack, but they were either killed or captured. , oneself will lose hundreds of elites.
In more than ten days of offensive and defensive battles, nearly two hundred heavy catapults were destroyed in Hexi. However, the first counterweighted catapult that Chen Hai put into the battlefield in Heishan was too easy to manufacture. The Hexi Army's supply camp on the Chishan defense line , several heavy sling crossbows can be built every day and sent to the forward front.
Hexi was eager to marry the Western Qiang Kingdom two years ago in order to be able to free up its hands as soon as possible to attack Hechuan County.
Whether it is a Tianji battle crossbow or a Tianji chariot, detailed manufacturing drawings are no longer a secret among the top sects. The Tianji chariot is easy to say. After all, the pavilion-level Tianji chariot only consumes 20,000 kilograms per ride. Hardened iron.
Whether it is a Tianji battle crossbow or a Tianji chariot, detailed manufacturing drawings are no longer a secret among the top sects. The Tianji chariot is easy to say. After all, the pavilion-level Tianji chariot only consumes 20,000 kilograms per ride. Hardened iron.
In addition to using ancient trees that are thousands of years old, the main accessories must also be cast from grade eight quenched iron, so that they can withstand stone projectiles weighing thousands or even thousands of kilograms thrown from three to five thousand steps away - every heavy-duty trebuchet crossbow. , the accessories alone will consume thousands of kilograms or even tens of thousands of kilograms of eighth-grade quenched iron.
At this time, Hexi could get an additional 100,000 to 150,000 kilograms of high-quality tempered iron from Lucheng every month. What could Hexiang's army do to compete with Hexi
Of course, the Hexiang Army also mastered the manufacturing drawings of the counterweighted catapult crossbow, and also tried to manufacture and deploy a large number of catapult crossbows on the defense line for confrontation. However, the heavy weighted catapult crossbow is not difficult to manufacture, and the manufacturing materials are not very difficult. The strength requirements are extremely high.
Each continuous shot of the mechanical crossbow is almost equivalent to a thousand-edged sword talisman. The tempered arrows reserved by the Hexi Army for this war are equivalent to 10,000 thousand-edged sword talismans, which can allow the forward generals to spend their money unscrupulously. .
Although the Helan Sword Sect has produced two figures on the Taoist realm's top list in modern times, Xiling Sword Master Xie Jueyuan, who is the guardian elder of the Sword Sect, has a bad relationship with Huang Qiwei, the ancestor of the Huang family and the leader of the Helan Sword Sect. Acknowledgments Jue Yuan has lived in Yanjing for many years and served as deputy envoy of Tianshu Academy. He has not returned to Hechuan for decades.
After Hexi occupied the defense line of Wenhu Port, Wuwei Shenhou and his son Dong Chou stationed in Wenhu City, using Wenhu City as a new advance base to gather various combat materials and deploy troops; under the leadership of Du Yu, Dong Pu and others, The forward battle formation continued to extend rapidly into the depths of Hechuan Ridge along the wide valley south of Wenhu Port.
At this time, Hexi could get an additional 100,000 to 150,000 kilograms of high-quality tempered iron from Lucheng every month. What could Hexiang's army do to compete with Hexi

After suffering heavy casualties, the Hexiang Army abandoned the Wenhubu defense line, which caused great damage to morale.
At this time, two groups of troops from the Musashi Army to reinforce Tsurukawa had just arrived outside Shining City. They were preparing to attack Shining, which was captured by Qin Muhou Dong Shou, and open up a waterway to aid Tsurukawa. At this time, They were also forced to retreat hastily and open contact with Dong Shou's troops.
In addition to using ancient trees that are thousands of years old, the main accessories must also be cast from grade eight quenched iron, so that they can withstand stone projectiles weighing thousands or even thousands of kilograms thrown from three to five thousand steps away - every heavy-duty trebuchet crossbow. , the accessories alone will consume thousands of kilograms or even tens of thousands of kilograms of eighth-grade quenched iron.
The Hexiang Army also organized more than 500 additional swordsmanship disciples with cultivation levels above the Spiritual Realm on the Wenhubu defense line to strengthen the attack on the defense line.
What's more, the Hexi Army's forward line has also organized an additional three to five hundred Xuanxiu disciples. They don't even need to directly participate in the offensive and fighting. They only need to use defensive spells and seal talismans to resist the opponent's spiritual swords and magic weapons. By assisting the elite warriors to successfully advance forward quickly, you will be able to gain absolute advantage in the sky above the battlefield.
In just three days, the dozen or so strong defenses built by the Hexiang Army at the northern foot of Hechuan Ridge and Wenhubu were all demolished by Hexi one by one. The Hexi Army successfully advanced to the main city on the innermost side of the Wenhubu defense line. .

These caves opened in the dangerous place of Hechuan Ridge were originally built together with the walled city of Wenhu Port to build a strong defense line in the northern part of Hechuan County. Who would have thought that in just over a month, they would be ruthlessly destroyed by the Hexi Army. Sharply torn into pieces

From Wenhubu to the south, deep in the valley in the middle of Hechuan Ridge, although the Hexiang Army still built six strong defenses along the line, none of them could withstand the attack of the Hexi Army's forward battle formation for ten days. By mid-May, the Hexi Army had opened a channel from the valley in the middle of the Hechuan Ridge to the hinterland of the Hexiang River.
Relying on the Helan Sword Sect, the Huang clan has ruled Hechuan County with the Hexiang Army for more than two hundred years. Although the situation is declining, the foundation of the Hexiang Army, the Huang clan and the Helan Sword Sect cannot be underestimated. Peeping.

At this time, the Hexi Army's heavy armored cavalry, Tianji chariots, and shield and halberd soldiers formed a battle formation and advanced layer by layer until they dug trenches, built protective walls, and set up defensive formations close to the outside of the enemy city. Build temporary defenses from a long distance, and then push heavy sling crossbows to the front of the formation, and use boulders weighing more than a thousand kilograms, or even two or three thousand kilograms, to destroy them within a short range of three to four thousand steps.

Seven years ago, in the name of chasing down the rebels who surrendered to Hexiang's army, Dong Liang, the mighty god of martial arts, led his troops to break out of Yulong Mountain and occupy a large area of land north of Hechuan Ridge.

Sword cultivators at the Spiritual Piercing Realm and the Mingqiao Realm or above can use their swords to attack distant enemies several miles or even twenty or thirty miles away, far beyond the range of the Tianji War Crossbow. However, as long as the Hexi Army's elite soldiers ride on war birds, they can Rushing within the range of two thousand steps, the rain of tempered gold arrows fired by the machine's crossbow was so powerful and dense that ordinary sword cultivators could not withstand it.

What's more, the Hexiang Army has a strong foundation. Both the clan and the military camp have built a large number of chariots. With a little modification, it does not need to consume too much hardened iron. In the past two or three years, seventy or eighty pavilions have been modified. level Tianji chariot, but if Tianji war crossbows are to be promoted on a large scale in the military, there must be a sufficient supply of gold-hardened arrows.
Even if the Hexiang Army can squeeze out 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms of quenched iron every year, it can only cast 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of quenched iron every year. How can this be enough for a large-scale war
Queen Cang, the main force of the Hexiang Army, withdrew, and the large and small Xuanxiu clans to which Helan Jianzong belonged, in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by Hexi elites, had no choice but to abandon the caves in Hechuan Ridge.
These caves opened in the dangerous place of Hechuan Ridge were originally built together with the walled city of Wenhu Port to build a strong defense line in the northern part of Hechuan County. Who would have thought that in just over a month, they would be ruthlessly destroyed by the Hexi Army. Sharply torn into pieces
Comparing such a huge disparity in consumption, Hexiang's army could no longer hold on after holding on to the main city of Wenhubu's defense line for more than ten days.
From Wenhubu to the south, deep in the valley in the middle of Hechuan Ridge, although the Hexiang Army still built six strong defenses along the line, none of them could withstand the attack of the Hexi Army's forward battle formation for ten days. By mid-May, the Hexi Army had opened a channel from the valley in the middle of the Hechuan Ridge to the hinterland of the Hexiang River.
Four to five hundred miles south of Hechuan Ridge, all the way to the shores of Hechuan Lake, there is a flat plain. There is no danger to defend. Although the weak Hexiang Army has not suffered a devastating blow, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It's available, but I don't dare to compete with Hexi in Pingyuan City here.
The Hexiang Army was eventually forced to abandon the main city of Wenhubu's defense line and retreated from the valley into the depths of Hechuan Ridge; and because the Hexiang Army could not control the air superiority on the battlefield, it withdrew from the defense line and was attacked several times by the Hexi Army's War Bird Camp. The sudden attack also resulted in heavy casualties.
At this time, Hexi could get an additional 100,000 to 150,000 kilograms of high-quality tempered iron from Lucheng every month. What could Hexiang's army do to compete with Hexi
Although the Hexiang Army made a large number of heavy shields and incorporated them into the army in order to prevent the rain of tempered arrows, the sharp soldiers of the Imperial Guard used war birds to rush in. Their tactics were flexible and changeable, and it could be said that they were impossible to defend against.
What's more, the Hexiang Army has a strong foundation. Both the clan and the military camp have built a large number of chariots. With a little modification, it does not need to consume too much hardened iron. In the past two or three years, seventy or eighty pavilions have been modified. level Tianji chariot, but if Tianji war crossbows are to be promoted on a large scale in the military, there must be a sufficient supply of gold-hardened arrows.
The main force of the Hexiang Army and the large and small sects in Hechuan County were forced to split into two groups after the forward troops of the Hexi Army fought their way out of the Hechuan Ridge, heading all the way to the foundation of the Helan Sword Sect and toward the Helan River and the Helan Mountains. Retreat all the way to Meishan at the junction of Hechuan Ridge and Qinchuan County.
What's more, the Hexi Army's forward line has also organized an additional three to five hundred Xuanxiu disciples. They don't even need to directly participate in the offensive and fighting. They only need to use defensive spells and seal talismans to resist the opponent's spiritual swords and magic weapons. By assisting the elite warriors to successfully advance forward quickly, you will be able to gain absolute advantage in the sky above the battlefield.
What really changed this situation was the use of machine-made crossbows.
At this time, two groups of troops from the Musashi Army to reinforce Tsurukawa had just arrived outside Shining City. They were preparing to attack Shining, which was captured by Qin Muhou Dong Shou, and open up a waterway to aid Tsurukawa. At this time, They were also forced to retreat hastily and open contact with Dong Shou's troops.
Although the Helan Sword Sect has produced two figures on the Taoist realm's top list in modern times, Xiling Sword Master Xie Jueyuan, who is the guardian elder of the Sword Sect, has a bad relationship with Huang Qiwei, the ancestor of the Huang family and the leader of the Helan Sword Sect. Acknowledgments Jue Yuan has lived in Yanjing for many years and served as deputy envoy of Tianshu Academy. He has not returned to Hechuan for decades.
The speed at which warbirds like the black-feathered vulture can advance is far beyond the reach of ordinary disciples flying in the wind. After fighting back and forth several times, the Helan Sect sword cultivator suffered heavy injuries and did not dare to fight out from behind the defense line anymore. He was abandoned to fight in the sky above the battlefield. competition.
What's more, the Hexi Army's forward line has also organized an additional three to five hundred Xuanxiu disciples. They don't even need to directly participate in the offensive and fighting. They only need to use defensive spells and seal talismans to resist the opponent's spiritual swords and magic weapons. By assisting the elite warriors to successfully advance forward quickly, you will be able to gain absolute advantage in the sky above the battlefield.
In more than ten days of offensive and defensive battles, nearly two hundred heavy catapults were destroyed in Hexi. However, the first counterweighted catapult that Chen Hai put into the battlefield in Heishan was too easy to manufacture. The Hexi Army's supply camp on the Chishan defense line , several heavy sling crossbows can be built every day and sent to the forward front.
Hexi was eager to marry the Western Qiang Kingdom two years ago in order to be able to free up its hands as soon as possible to attack Hechuan County.
In more than ten days, Hexi lost more than 20,000 heavy troops, most of whom were civilian warriors who could be replenished at any time. In comparison, the Hexiang Army lost between 3 and 4,000 generals. It can be said that the casualties were extremely heavy, comparable to the most elite combat force of the Dao Yamen soldiers.
The other reinforcements of the Musashi Army had just walked halfway through the hinterland of Meishan, which stretched two to three thousand miles. At this time, they could only be forced to stop in Meishan. On the one hand, they accepted the forces of the Hexiang Army fleeing south, and on the other hand, they took risks in Meishan. Gushan Pass and build a stronger fortress to prevent Hexi from taking advantage of the situation to invade Qinchuan County from Meishan...
Of course, the Hexiang Army also mastered the manufacturing drawings of the counterweighted catapult crossbow, and also tried to manufacture and deploy a large number of catapult crossbows on the defense line for confrontation. However, the heavy weighted catapult crossbow is not difficult to manufacture, and the manufacturing materials are not very difficult. The strength requirements are extremely high.
