Chapter 1042 Materials (1)
From Yinjiang to Huangtianze, the western foot of Tengwang Mountain, although there is a Jinsha River waterway connected, the waterway is not located within the solid defense line where the human race cannot leak, and it can be said to be quite fragile.
The deep-water river channel of Jinsha River that is dozens of miles wide or even hundreds of miles wide destroys the embankment, and ships can still navigate the river. However, the more than 4,000-mile artificial channels dug by Yinjiang connecting the Jinsha River to the more than 4,000-mile artificial channels dug out by Yinjiang. The demons only need to launch a small-scale attack to easily blow the embankment and destroy the waterway.
At that time, rivers and canals collapse, canal water floods, and fields are destroyed. Even if migrant workers are recruited regardless of casualties, the waterway will take at least ten days and half a month to repair.
The channels of more than 4,000 miles are basically exposed, and it is impossible for the demons to launch a strong attack, which is impossible to destroy only one location.
Once the waterway is destroyed, no matter how powerful the naval warships of the Demon Army in the Jinsha River are in the Eastern Expedition, they can only ensure that the demons dare not launch an attack on Tengwang Mountain from near the Wastewater.
In fact, after the southern magic soldiers took the initiative, waterway transportation could no longer be relied on.
Waterway transportation cannot be relied on, so it is even more unrealistic to organize large-scale land transportation in the wasteland where the demon race takes the initiative. If that is really possible, it means that the Xuanyuan Army is not afraid of fighting the main force of the Demon Line in the plain area. What else do you need to worry about?
The two armies have 6 million soldiers hanging alone, and even if they save money every day, they will consume 20 to 30 million kilograms of materials. Waterway transportation cannot be relied on and land transportation cannot be achieved. The current feasible solution can only be to use a large-scale Fengyan airship fleet and a floating warship escort mode to quickly transport materials in airspace.
However, in the area where the demons take the initiative, such a mode of transportation will be so tragic, and it is not without the lessons of the past.
Before the Battle of Jingshan, Chen Hai led the Longxiang Army and the Western Demon Soldiers to take the lead in the key points of the northern foot of Tongbai Mountain in order to block the Western Demon Soldiers west of Jitianqu. On the edge of the battlefield where the two sides were fiercely confronting each other, they organized a large-scale military transport for Fengyan Airship.
The transportation distance was only about 3,000 miles that time, but even so, the Fengyan airship that participated in the transportation and delivery of troops was destroyed by the demon soldiers at one time.
There are nearly 50,000 miles from the southern foot of Maozhen Mountain to Tengwang Mountain, and there are more than 10,000 miles from Tengwang Mountain to Yandang Mountain. Even if Tiannan Kingdom bets all its national strength, it may not be able to guarantee continuous supply to Tengwang Mountain.
However, no one dared to imagine the situation after the Eastern Expedition to strife and the Xuanyuan Army were destroyed.
Perhaps the Tiannan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom can continue to organize troops to resist, but it is not unimaginable that the remnants of Anxi, Nanzhao and Nanli were completely destroyed by the demons.
Ji Yuanpeng and Zhao Xiaozhi returned to Tengwang Mountain without staying for a long time. They returned to Zhenyuan Mountain to meet Chen Hai three days later.
"It may take some time to pass the news back to Tiannan. The Yue court discussed this matter, but the emperor, Your Highness Zheng and King Lu will spare no effort to support Ji Shi in inheriting the throne of Nanzhao County - I, Ji family, will also move all into Nanzhao as soon as possible!" Ji Yuanpeng sat in Chen Hai's lower head, silently observing Zheng Jishi sitting opposite him.
Ji Yuanceng came here first this time, and more than a thousand legitimate children of the Ji family and more than ten thousand children of the other party will then be separated from all Xuanyuan troops and will be incorporated into the newly reorganized Nanzhao Demonic Army in Zhenyuan Mountain.
From now on, the fate of Ji's family will not be revealed and Zheng Jishi, who had never been in contact with him in the past, will be completely tied together. How could Ji Yuanpeng not have any worries in his heart?
At this time, he would rather lead the Ji family to directly surrender to Beiling than to place the lives of the tens of thousands of people in the clan on Zheng Jishi, who had no foundation.
However, Chen Hai must lay nails in Nanzhao, making it difficult for the three families to unite to deal with Beiling calmly. Ji Yuanpeng knew that Ji's family would not have any better choice.
"His Highness Zheng Chan did not express any objection?" Chen Hai asked Ji Yuanchuang with a smile.
"Your Highness Zheng Chan still knows the overall situation," Ji Yuan said, spreading his hands, but if he didn't say that, could he tell Chen Hai that Zheng Li had left angrily, and said, "The specific details must be discussed by King Chen and Zhenren Zhao."
Ji's family moved to Nanzhao to consolidate the foundation for Zheng Jishi's rule of Nanzhao. Then Ji Yuanpeng was not qualified to speak on behalf of Emperor Qin Ran. Then all subsequent negotiations and details of the three families with Beiling would naturally be led by Zhao Xiaozhi.
In the past twenty or thirty years, including Yanzhou, the Beiling Army has wiped out more than ten million elite demon soldiers. The tough scales peeled from these elite demon soldiers are necessary materials for making high-air bags.
The gale wind above a thousand feet is as fierce as a knife and a sword cutting. There is no problem with transporting materials in the area controlled by the human race. It is damaged in three to five thousand miles and can be landed in time for repair. However, in the 40,000 to 50,000 miles of wasteland where the demons have the initiative, it sometimes even needs to be raised to the depths of the higher sky to obtain faster speeds. This high-air bag is definitely not something that ordinary beast skins can satisfy.
Chen Hai wanted to use the manufacturing capabilities of the other three companies and reached the first proposal, that is, the Beiling Army would provide the three companies with five million high-level magic skins to create 5,000 high-air bags.
Although the high-air bags made will eventually be incorporated into the transportation team led by the Beiling Army, the five million high-level magic skins are not provided by Beiling for free, and three companies need to exchange them with five floating warships.
Of course, these five floating warships were eventually incorporated into the escort team together with the Shi Tian and Yuxu ships.
Another condition is that in addition to the elite escort force sent by the Beiling Army General, the high-altitude airship transport fleet alone requires more than 40,000 generals and soldiers. Including the possible tragic casualties, the first batch will need to recruit more than 200,000 from Anxi, Nanzhao, and Nanli, and at least the children with the middle and late stages of Tongxuan Realm to go to Lingzhou for training; in the future, they will continue to recruit personnel from the three families based on the casualties.
All materials such as food and grass, heavy arrows, etc. can be mobilized first from Beiling, but they must be converted into extremely precious metal and iron, and the amount of money will be paid from Anxi, Nanzhao, Nanli, Tiannan and Yue.
"Can the Beiling Army ensure that the first batch of supplies will be delivered to Tengwang Mountain within half a month?" Zhao Xiaozhi asked.
The seven floating warships have at least a ban-level magic array, and there are five or six hundred elite sword cultivators accompanying them to guard them. They also have extremely fast flight speeds. As long as they do not get entangled with the demons and do not fall into the ambush of the demons, it is basically quite safe. The demons cannot draw out all the demon marquis and demon kings to attack the seven floating warships.
There is no problem with two thousand high-altitude fast airships transporting 400 million kilograms of materials at a time. If one can successfully organize a transportation, it will also ensure that the two armies can support Tengwang Mountain and Yandang Mountain for ten days and half a month.
However, such a huge fleet of airships stretches for hundreds of miles when flying at high altitudes, and the overall speed is not fast. How can it be protected by only seven floating warships?
At that time, the winged demon elites of the demon organization do not need to break into the protective circle composed of floating warships. The violent shock of the vitality during fierce battle can make the storm above the Nine Heavens sky strong ten times or hundreds of times. How can the airbags of the Fengyan Airship resist?
The Wind Flame Airship is undoubtedly an excellent thing, but its fragile airbag is its most fatal weakness.
In more extreme cases, the demons do not even need to organize large groups of elite winged demons to intercept. As long as the old demon Gui Xi and the other demon dragon who has just stepped into the third realm of the Heavenly Demon, coveting one side to attack, it will make such a large-scale airship formation unable to rise at all, and it will naturally be difficult to move forward.
"What Beiling promised, even if all sword cultivators above the Spirit Realm and above will be drawn from the army, it will be ensured that they will be completed. Please don't worry." Chen Hai was unwilling to explain too much, so he asked Zhao Xiaozhi to go back and ask the three families to make arrangements as agreed at this time.
If the three families might have thought of ways to get rid of the current predicament, they would not have agreed to such harsh conditions as he proposed.
Although Chen Hai was confident, Zhao Xiaozhi was uneasy inside, but now there was nothing else but to trust Beiling.
However, after the five floating warships set off from Tengwang Mountain and detoured into Lingzhou and handed over to Beiling Army, the demons obviously also clearly realized that the materials would be supplied by the Beiling Army who were stranded in Tengwang Mountain and the Xuanyuan Army who were stranded in Yandang Mountain.
In mid-June, the demons not only dispatched elite troops to destroy the waterway connecting Yin Jiang and Jinsha River, but also destroyed a small hill upstream of the Jinsha River, forcing the Jinsha River to divert the route, flooding the Xiangzhou area between Nanzhao and Anxi. More importantly, under the leadership of the Demon Lord of the Demon Dragon Pan Mountain, which had newly entered the third realm of the Heavenly Demon, more than 100 demon dragons and more than 30,000 winged demon elites, went north from the southern line and entered Yinhun Ridge to meet with Gui Xi Lao Demon, which was obviously guarding against a large-scale airship formation set out from Lingzhou and other places to supply Tengwang Mountain.
The supplies from Tengwang Mountain can only be supported until early July. Including the time required on the way, that is, the supplies transported from Beiling must fly over Wantao Henan and head south to the south before 20 days.
Zhao Xiaozhi was in Linjiang Camp on the northern foot of the Maozhen Mountains. By the 19th, he did not wait for the scout to report that the Beiling Army had made any moves. He was about to arrive at Maozhenshan and rushed to Maozhenshan to urge the Beiling Army to transfer a group of heavenly war vehicles. He took Ji Yuanpeng and flew to Lingzhou to ask Chen Hai who had returned to Lingzhou to stay in charge. When would he delay it before he could fulfill his promise.
They were hundreds of miles away from Lingzhou, and they realized that the heaven and earth energy in the direction of Taihua Mountain on the south bank of Wantao River was turbulent, and it stretched for hundreds of miles, which meant that the Beiling Army and the Demon Clan had big moves. At that moment, the two left their entourage and flew forward with their swords at a very fast speed.
When I arrived at the southern foot of Taihua Mountain, I saw a large cloud of light moving southeast from the sky. Seven floating warships opened the magic circle, and the spirit cover almost a hundred miles of airspace. I made an appointment with the spirit cover that was evaporated by clouds and mist. I could see that among the clouds, there were wind flame airships that were densely launched into the air.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaozhi and Ji Yuanpeng were both shocked.
Even though the combat power of the two ships, the Shi Tian and Yu Xu, is strong, it is reflected in the high maneuverability of the two ships, and does not mean how powerful the Shi Tian Xuan Thunder Array refined by the Shi Tian is.
The seven ships opened the defensive magic array, and the defensive spirit cover closed the area of more than a hundred miles. Specifically for the defense power at each point, not to mention the Demon-level powerhouses at the third level of the Heavenly Demon, Zhao Xiaozhi and Ji Yuanchuang were able to easily break the defensive spirit cover of this level and then severely damage the airbags of the inner encirclement.
At this time, Chen Hai ordered the seven ships to support the defensive spirit shield so big. Is he trying to hide any killer weapon?
But facing the more than 40,000 winged demon elites gathered from the direction of Yinhun Ridge, what trump card can the Beiling Army have?
You should know that more than 40,000 winged demon elites don’t need to rush forward immediately.
It is more than 50,000 miles from Taihua Mountain to Tengwang Mountain. The airship formation does not stop resting for a moment, without encountering any accidents or taking a long way. It takes almost half a month to reach Tengwang Mountain. In this process, as long as more than 40,000 elite winged demons capture a fighter plane, it will be a disaster for the airship formation to be destroyed.
The Beiling Army will delay at least half a month when organizing the next round of transportation.
At this time, Zhao Xiaozhi felt a little regretful and placed all his hopes on Beiling Army.
