Nine hundred and twentieth chapters important task
The demon race's round attack lasted for more than ten days. According to previous experience, after receiving sufficient supplements, the demon race will not attack in a large amount in a short period of time. This also gives the opportunity to rest and rotate the troops on the Demon Zhanling Ridge.
There was no major change in the middle road of Mozhanling and the east wing defense line. The changes in the west wing were too big, and Ji Jiangye did not dare to be careless at all. As others left one after another, he kept Chen Hai alone and asked him to formulate a detailed expansion and garrison plan for Beiling Town to be at ease.
"The capable ones work harder. At this time, the demons will focus on the main attack direction in the east wing. I need to draw some troops to increase the defense of Dong'an Pass. The west wing can only hope that you can lead Beiling Town to take the lead. You won't blame me for putting too many burdens on your shoulders, right?" Ji Jiangye's pupils seemed to have billions of stars spinning in depths, and billions of thunder were hidden. He stared at Chen Hai and said slowly, "But I won't put so much burden on your shoulders. There is really no reason to convince other true lords to agree to give you such an important position as the coach of the West wing to bear."
"The Master of the Master trusts so much and values Chen Hai. Don't dare to refuse Chen Hai's death. How could he feel any resentment?" Chen Hai said calmly.
Mozhanling Ridge gathered three million elite troops in the twelve towns, and each town maintains an average of about 250,000 troops. It is not that it cannot be expanded, nor is it that the towns do not want to recruit soldiers. It is actually on such a cruel battlefield, where soldiers are expensive but not expensive.
Even if there are too many troops and the defense line is opened, it will require more heavy defense tasks, which are not what the generals are willing to bear.
Chen Hai is dedicated to controlling demons, but it does not mean that he has to bear more responsibilities for others.
If Chen Hai had not always wanted to take control of Yantai Pass so that he could control the situation in Tianluo Valley nearby in the future, he would never have been the Left Protector of the Ghost Raozi North Town under such harsh conditions, nor would he have fallen into his trap just because of Ji Jiangye's words of "heartwarming"!
Under the pressure of the situation, Ji Jiangye had to use Chen Hai more, but except for Wu Chengsi, it was impossible for him to listen to the Liya Zhen soldiers mobilized by Chen Hai. How could he be kind?
At present, Yunmen Pass must maintain the defense of 200,000 troops and horses that cannot be weakened. The road from Tianying City to Yantai Pass requires at least 100,000 troops to defend. In addition, Chen Hai must deploy 200,000 troops and horses in Tengxi Ridge and leave 300,000 reserve troops in Yantai Pass to prevent any accidents in Xiqiao, Tengxi and Yunmen Pass. Not only does Chen Hai need to work hard to accumulate 600,000 reserve troops and horses in Dongdu Mountain to be fully put into active service, and to exhaust Dongdu Mountain's military potential in advance, Chen Hai's elite military officers are only a little bit, from 250,000 troops to 800,000, and a sharp decline in combat power is inevitable. This also means that the proportion of casualties in Beiling Town will rise significantly in the future.
If it were other times, how could Chen Hai accept such conditions?
However, no one knows the important position of Yantai Pass and the entire Mozillingling Ridge in Chen Hai's mind.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles outside Tianluo Valley, there are nearly 200 spiritual veins of all sizes, of which not only nearly one-third are concentrated in Mozill Ridge.
Although Mozillan Ridge cannot be compared with Wanxian Mountain, there are eight earth-level spiritual veins distributed in Mozillan Ridge, two of which are distributed on the western foot of Mozillan Ridge, which are within the jurisdiction of Yantai Pass.
If Chen Hai wants to control Tianluo Valley, he wants to establish a human country controlled by Yanzhou near Tianluo Valley and completely eliminate the demon disaster in Yanzhou, he must gain a foothold in Mozilling Ridge.
This is also the key reason why he agreed without hesitation. He calmly accepted Ji Jiangye's scrutiny, thinking to himself that Ji Jiangye, Jiang Jin and others, probably at this time, he probably decided that he was an ambitious greedy person.
Chen Hai sorted out his thoughts and said to Ji Jiangye: "Disciple runs Tianying City to build Tianji war machines. The Rakshasa demon clan has not had no idea about it for more than ten years. The repeated small-scale raids of the demon clan have asked the disciples to resist the tens of thousands of reserve elites deployed there. At this time, the disciple needs to incorporate all the reserve elites of Tianying City into Beiling Town. Even the Chidao may not be able to protect them, and it is even impossible to take into account the defense of Tianying City in Dongdu Mountain.
The demon attack, the few people under my disciples suffered little losses, and delayed the supply of war equipment, which was troublesome. The disciple thought that before Yantai Pass, he would build another Tianying City, and moved tens of thousands of craftsmen and craftsmen from Tianying Academy and Tianying City, which was also a necessary measure. However, Yantai Pass has its own craftsmanship and other departments. In order to avoid public and private confusion, the disciple thought that the craftsmanship and other departments in Yantai Pass would be removed, and the construction of the military should be handed over to Tianying City for full responsibility..."
Chen Hai actually asked Ji Jiangye to agree to turn the defense of Yantai Pass and the western foot of Mozill Ridge into Chen Hai's private territory.
This is also the "condition" for Chen Hai to reflect his vigorous ambitions!
Ji Jiangye stared at Chen Hai for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "This is feasible. However, the pressure on the West Wing is still quite high. I will draw two thousand disciples of the Spirit Pili Realm, and the two hundred elite warriors in the Mingqiao Realm will give you, which may reduce the pressure on your shoulders. However, this is also the limit I can reach at the moment."
Although the entire northwest region has a vast territory and a population of more than 3 billion, there are only 300,000 or 400,000 elite disciples who have cultivated their spiritual realm or above in thousands of miles.
Although this number seems terrifying on weekdays, the demonic disaster is raging. In the mountain gates of the three sects, in addition to those who need to stay in the Taoist soldiers, need to plant spiritual herbs, and refine spiritual talismans, Taoist talismans, and spirit sword magic weapons, most of the disciples are incorporated into the army, which is the core information that no one else can be involved in the towns.
It is naturally extremely rare for Ji Jiangye to be able to draw more than 2,000 disciples in Mingqiao Realm to be able to transfer, but Ji Jiangye suddenly is so generous, and it is the generosity that Chen Hai cannot refuse. Chen Hai would not be foolish to think that Ji Jiangye is taking special care of him. Ji Jiangye's intention is nothing more than that, once he survives the demonic disaster and waits for the three islands of Fusang Hai to withdraw, these people will become a wonderful step in his hand, right?
After everything was agreed, Chen Hai made a brand new military deployment at Yantai Pass.
The road was completed, and there were a large number of wheeled baggage trucks, 400,000 reserve troops, nearly 100,000 disciples of Tianying Academy, nearly 100,000 craftsmen, craftsmen, and a large number of casting equipment, and then moved to Yantaiguan and Lingque Peak south of Yantaiguan.
In the winter of the 35th year of Jianxing, Wu Chengsi led 200,000 elite Liya Town troops to enter Xiqiao Pass; in addition to the second and third battalions continuing to defend Yunmen Pass, Chen Hai also sent Yao Wenjin and Miao Fengshan to lead the first battalion to Tengxiling north of Yantai Pass, and formed the fourth battalion as a reserve force in Yantai Pass, which was considered to have barely completed the deployment rotation of Yantai Pass.
After everything happened, Jiang Jin led 200,000 Yantai Town troops to head south. After returning to Wanxian Mountain, he would summon troops along the way to establish a defense line on the north bank of Wantao River.
*********************************
The demons made up their minds to consume the entire northwest region's military foundation in front of Mozhan Ridge, but they had previously placed the main attack direction in front of Yantai Pass in the West wing of Mozhan Ridge, and found that the nail in Beiling Town was too difficult to chew and the war damage was too high, so they fought a war of attrition with Beiling Town in front of Yantai Pass (mainly Yunmen Pass). The gain was not worth the loss, so they had to adjust their strategy and shift the center of the attack to Dong'an Pass in the east wing.
It is expected that Dong'an Pass will face a more bloody and cruel war in the future.
After Jiang Jin left, Ji Jiangye, Yuan Zhou and others were also preparing to personally rush to Dong'an Pass on the east wing to supervise the war.
Ji Jiangye was still worried about Yantai Pass after all, so he talked to Chen Haichang again before leaving: "This time the demon disaster has reached this point. The gains and losses of the Demon Dian Ridge are related to the survival of our three sects. Once Yantai Pass is lost, the demon clan will live in stolen residence. The entire western foot of the Demon Dian Ridge will become a major passage for millions of demon soldiers to surging south. Remember to be careful..."
Chen Hai bowed and said, "Please rest assured by the True Lord. Chen Hai must have done his best and dare not slack off."
Seeing Chen Hai's solemn matter, Ji Jiangye was quite satisfied. He nodded and said, "I have done my best to facilitate you. Don't let me down - and the craftsmen of Tianying City have been transferred in part. The casting of Tianji war equipment must not be delayed."
After nearly twenty years of accumulation, coupled with the assistance from the Nine Counties and Silu Island, even though Jiang Yan led the royal army to the south to control the demons and took away a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen, there were more than 5,000 craftsmen and nearly 100,000 craftsmen. At present, under the leadership of Guo Hongshou, Huang Zhan and others, Tianying City can have more than 4,000 wheeled and covered baggage trucks, two thousand light and heavy Tianji fighting chariots, heavy-bore crossbows, eight thousand six-bore heavy-load crossbows, and more than 40 Fengyan airships every year.
With the three sects of Tianji war machines built at all costs, the output of Tianying City currently accounts for one-sixth of the output of Tianji war machines in the entire northwest region. However, the quality of Tianji war machines built in Tianying City is extremely guaranteed. Ji Jiangye still does not want Tianying City's combat equipment to produce any major leaks.
Chen Hai said: "At present, my disciples have only transferred the craftsmen who mined mining veins, smelting gold and iron, and building city craftsmen and craftsmen who built roads and bridges. They have to wait until the workshop here is initially completed before transferring them. There is another thing, I want to ask the Master of the Master to allow it."
"You said." Ji Jiangye said.
"There are a large number of valleys and basins in the deep mountains of Mozhanling Ridge, but except for a small amount of use to plant herbs, most of the valleys have not been used. The disciples want to set up a military camp in Yantaiguan to specialize in the cultivation of the land, recruit some ordinary people to come, and may open up 70 to 80 million mu of fields to plant grains to make up for the food and grass consumption on the defense line of Mozhanling Ridge as much as possible." Chen Hai said.
As one of the Lingshan Caves, Mozhanling Mountain is a prohibition of farming by ordinary people. Before the war, in order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, the people from the north and south of Mozhanling Mountain were driven to the south of Pingma Mountain to avoid the demon disaster. This also caused all the requirements for the defense line of Mozhanling Mountain to be recruited from other counties.
Although the promotion of Chen Hai's ship-type baggage truck and the Chidao has been buffered from the tight transportation capacity from Pingmashan defense line to Mozhanling, the consumption is definitely far beyond the on-site food collection.
The Mozhanling Mountains stretch for 4,000 miles from east to west and more than 1,000 miles from north to south. Although the mountains are high and the valleys are dangerous, in such a vast area, it is still possible to cultivate and sort out 70,000 or even hundreds of millions of mu of grain fields and valleys in such a vast area.
Ji Jiangye thought for a while and said, "This matter is done. How much food can you raise and how many ordinary people can you use?"
In the eyes of Xuanxiu disciples, farming is naturally a cheap career, and few people are proficient in this matter. However, if the entire field that can be cultivated deep in the Mozillan Ridge is given to the military farming lieutenant set up in Yantai Pass, Ji Jiangye needs to think more about it.
"At this time, if it can be achieved in two years, it will be able to raise 800 billion jin of grain every year for military service, which will require 700,000 to 800,000 ordinary people." Chen Hai said.
