The Sacred Ding - Chapter 942
There are special generals in charge of paving roads, building cities, cultivating farmland and water conservancy. The general’s office of the state of Zhu and the counties and towns are responsible for history. However, the road network in the northwest usually takes each city as the core and extends tens of miles or hundreds of miles outside the city. There is no complete road system in the real sense.
However, each of the more than 70 counties in the northwest region has a population of 30 to 40 million or even 50 to 60 million. In absolute terms, it can be said that it is quite a lot, but so many people are scattered over a vast land with a radius of more than 10000 miles. It can be said that it is quite vast and sparsely populated.
The distance of three or four hundred miles is already the limit for people to haunt the prefecture and county. It’s nothing to mobilize large-scale elite troops, ride spirit beasts and Cross Mountains and rivers, not to mention the repair of Xuanwu sword, flying around, respecting the social status of the Empire, and the demand for galloping the road is not high.
It was Jiang Yin who led the frontier army to recover the mozhang mountain. After the three groups established a defense line at the mozhang mountain, there were 5.6 million troops and horses gathered in the mozhang mountain, and there was no large-scale human habitat and reproduction around the mozhang mountain. A large number of food, grass, ordnance and other materials needed to be transported from the hinterland south of Pingma mountain. The general’s house of Zhu state built a gallop road to the mozhang mountain in Luntai city in the south, To facilitate the passage of vehicles and horses.
It took four years to complete the wanlichi Road, which was requisitioned by millions of people before and after the general’s house of Zhu state.
After the outbreak of the magic robbery, the general’s house of the state of Zhu built an additional road between urumcheng and the magic Zhangling, but it also took two years to complete.
The first batch of materials borrowed by the state of Yue have arrived in Wanghai City, but how to transport them from Wanghai city to mozhangling is a headache.
The Fengyan airships built by Tianying city before were all called by the fierce king Qin ranzheng. Over the past two years, Tianying city and sanzong have built more than 100 new ones. Things can be said to be excellent. They can transport twenty or thirty million kilograms of goods at one time and travel two or three thousand miles a day. It can be said to be quite convenient, but it is also because of convenience and great benefits, Therefore, it has become the primary target of attack after elite magic soldiers infiltrate.
In the past two years, Tianying city and the three newly built wind flame airships can only barely make up for the consumption, and no more can be added in a short time.
In the future, the material transportation volume from wanghaicheng to mozhangling will be huge. Only the wind flame airship with high cost and less transportation capacity can not carry it, so it needs a cheaper way with larger transportation capacity.
From Wanghai city to the south foot of Dongdu mountain, there are rivers and canals, which can gather boats and boats to transport materials by water. However, from Dongdu mountain to mozhang ridge, it is mainly semi-arid wasteland and grassland. Even if there are lakes, they rarely connect with each other. The most convenient and cheap means of transportation is to build galloping roads.
If the road from Dongdu mountain to mozhang mountain was built in the way before the general’s house of Zhu state, it would take at least three or four years to be completed. It would be difficult to alleviate such an urgent transportation demand. Chen Haishan built it. This is a fact that people have to admit while holding their noses.
Moreover, Chen Hai ruled Tianying city and Dongdu Prefecture after the first World War of Xinyancheng. He vigorously built city fortresses, tuntian and roads inside and outside Dongdu mountain, and even dug diversion culverts and built reservoirs on a large scale. Whether it is the existing craftsmen or many special Tianji instruments, Chen Hai is the only suitable host for Zhuguo general’s residence to build gallop roads quickly.
To tell the truth, the new Chi road may not need to be built between Dongdu mountain and mozhang mountain. Even this Chi road is close to the southern edge of the West heimao desert. Once a small group of elite magic soldiers attack through the heimao desert, they will lack enough early warning time, but everyone is not stupid. Everyone knows that starting from Mengcheng mountain in the north of Zhoumi County, build a Chi road to mozhang mountain, Why should Chen Hai preside over this instead of the Wu people?
More importantly, Chen Hai has built a passage through Dongdu mountain from south to North and from east to west.
Choosing to build a galloping road from Mengcheng mountain more than 7000 miles away in the southeast and opening the channel only inside Mengcheng mountain with high mountains and dangerous valleys will consume a lot of human and material resources.
In order to ensure that this life supply line can be opened as soon as possible, Ji Jiangye also provides Chen Hai with all conveniences as much as possible.
It is unknown how much time it will take to recruit 500000 craftsmen Zhuang Yong. Ji Jiangye asked Chen hai to requisition craftsmen and Minyong from Dongdu mansion first, and then chartered Chen hai to transfer Zhuang Yong from other cities in Shaoquan county to make up for the loss of Dongdu mountain.
Once the Chi road is built on a large scale, it will inevitably attract a large number of demon elite to infiltrate and attack. Ji Jiangye directly handed over the sentry troops and horses on the west wing, including 20000 elite war horses and the war bird camp composed of thousands of royal bird sword repair, to Chen Hai for control.
On the one hand, the subsequent maintenance and protection are also the top priority that can not be ignored. Although 500000 camp soldiers do not have much combat effectiveness, Ji Jiangye still gave Chen Hai ten camp captains to better ensure the operation after the completion of Chi road.
In fact, by this time, Chen Hai’s power has exceeded that of ordinary garrison generals, whether he is directly leading Beiling Town, controlling the sentry troops on the west wing, commanding 500000 camp soldiers, and organizing the baggage car camp from Dongdu mountain to mozhang mountain in the future.
From Dongdu mountain to mozhangling, it is close to the southern edge of the black hair desert. There are few streams and rivers, and there are no large hills and mountains. The geology is hard. Tianying city has accumulated tens of thousands of baggage transport vehicles and other engineering equipment in recent years. During the construction of chidao, Ji Jiangye transferred Liya town to yunmensai so that Chen Hai can transfer all the troops and horses of Beiling town, Construction of transmission assistance and protection roads.
Chen Hai has so many resources that nearly one million people and horses have actually been requisitioned. Moreover, the Tianji chariot and the belt covered baggage car in the general have been put into the construction of the Chi road. From winter to spring, the Chi road has been built in half a year limited by Ji Jiangye. The standard is slightly higher than the “initial completion” agreed at the beginning.
In addition to the ten thousand mile stretch of Chi Road, more than 100 villages have been built along Chi road according to the standard of one plug for a thousand miles and one base for a hundred miles.
On the one hand, the more than 100 strongholds should protect the Chi road from the attack of the elite of the demon clan. On the other hand, they should ensure that the Chi road is maintained in time after it is damaged. At the same time, it is also the key to the sub station transportation system. It is also convenient to requisition a large number of camels and horses in a short distance, which has become an important supplement to the transportation capacity.
When Chi road was built, there were more than one billion kilograms of materials transported from Wanghai city and stockpiled to Dongdu mountain, but all of them were transferred to mozhangling in only two months.
With such high efficiency and low consumption, all Zhenjun gathered in mozhangling are excited.
When the war continued to this stage, everyone knew that whoever could double the consumption of the other party and reduce the consumption of his own side, whether it was materials or people, had become the key to the victory or defeat of the war on the western front.
From Dongdu mountain to mozhangling, it is planned to transport 10 billion kilograms of materials every year. In the traditional way, it is necessary to recruit one million camel horses and one million people on the road to complete such a difficult task, but the supply of one million camel horses and one million people is astronomical.
Moreover, such a large target, under the continuous infiltration and attack of a small group of demon elite, even if a large number of elite combat forces are mobilized for protection, the heavy casualties are also shocking.
After all, even if the mozhangling can send out all the floating warships and war bird camps, there is no way to protect the intermittent camel horse transport team stretching for thousands of miles.
In fact, the continuous war losses on the front line of mozhangling are, on the one hand, the loss of supply and transportation from the pingmashan defense line to mozhangling is a greater bleeding wound on the three cases in the northwest region. The tragic losses in more than three years have made Zhu Zhenjun heartache.
Now the gallop road from Dongdu mountain to yantaiguan has been completed. Although it has also attracted a large number of elite magic soldiers to attack, and there are a lot of losses of baggage transport vehicles, materials and people and horses, compared with the tradition, the loss of people and horses and the consumption of materials on such a large scale have been greatly reduced to less than one tenth of the previous level.
This change is so impressive that many Zhenjun see the dawn of victory.
They know that once the galloping road system in the hinterland of the northwest region is built and more wheeled baggage vehicles are used to transport materials in the northwest region, they will be completely fearless to compete with the demon family.
Therefore, before the completion of dongzhangchi Road, Ji Jiangye and his colleagues realized that Chen Hai’s method was feasible, so they had ordered the transformation of the two Chi roads from Luntai and ebony to mozhangling, and asked Chen hai to be responsible for mobilizing craftsmen and craftsmen in yantaiguan, building a foundry for wheeled baggage cars, and increasing the supply of wheeled baggage cars.
Of course, the foundry affiliated to sanzong refinery also began to cast wheeled baggage wagons.
Xinghengyu has no patent right yet. Under the eyes and noses of those Tianwei refining tools, any Tianji war equipment made by Tianying city still stays at the level of mysterious magic weapon at most. There is no secret in their hands. The core problem mainly focuses on cost and easy loss.
At present, the details of the three cases are far beyond the reach of the nine prefectures. Even if the service life of each baggage car is half shorter and the casting cost is twice as high, it can be said to be ignored compared with the traditional mode of transportation.
On the fifth day of September, the 35th year of Jianxing, the continuous drizzle has been raining for more than ten days.
Generally speaking, under this weather, the Luocha devil family will not launch an offensive, but this time it is quite strange. Until the rain falls to the tenth day, the Luocha devil family’s offensive against the North Guanzhong road and the east wing of Yantai is still as tragic as ever.
Chen Hai stood on the tower, paying attention to the changes in the war on Zhongbei road and the east wing. After the chidao was built, before Beiling town took over the Yunmen fortress defense line again, the attack of the demon clan was really perfunctory.
In the previous war, the Xiong blind ridge, four or five hundred meters high and several miles around, was almost flattened. The demon clan left more than 400000 corpses, and less than 100000 people died in Beiling town.
Such a tragic consumption ratio makes the demon family have to give up the main attack direction of Cloud Gate plug and focus on other directions.
Soon, the Luocha magic soldiers in front of the Cloud Gate plug retreated. Chen Hai noticed that the war had gradually subsided in other directions of yantaiguan, and was relieved.
Seeing that the city fortresses began to arrange people to go out of the city to clean up the battlefield, Chen Haizheng planned to fly to the newly-built garrison general’s house in the inner city. A green shadow flew here from yantaiguan. It was a letter from Ji Jiangye.
Chen Hai unfolded the imperial edict and said to himself, “at this time, I don’t know what military information to discuss?”
Zhu Tianhe said with a hard to hide tiredness, “Zhang jiaozhenjun has paid more and more attention to you recently, but you still don’t want to. Give it to me first. Don’t miss the big event.”
Chen Hai nodded and went to yantaiguan with the imperial sword of Mo Zhai, Ning chaner and others.
On other battlefields, the war is much more tragic than that of Yunmen fortress. After the war subsides, there are many things to clean up. Therefore, when Chen Hai came to the general’s residence at Yantai pass, there were only a few people in the hall, and the guards on other major battlefields haven’t come yet
Ji Jiangye saw Chen Hai, invited him to sit down and said, “the demon family has suffered in front of the Cloud Gate plug. In recent hard battles, they are quite perfunctory about the attack of the Cloud Gate plug. What do you think of this?”
Chen Hai said with a smile, “that’s also the reason why you’re so comfortable here…”
Listening to Chen Hai’s shameless flattery to Ji Jiangye, Jiang Jin sat aside and was very upset, but he also knew that Chen Hai could not be prevented from presiding over the West Wing defense line with yantaiguan as the core
