The moon, which had just passed the 15th day of August, was still full and bright, and it was a bright yellow color hanging on the willow branches. The evening wind blew through it, casting mottled shadows all over the ground.
It was early in the morning for casual workers on the Makino tidal flat. When Chen Tian came to inspect, the huge construction site was already empty.
"Migrant workers said that this place is haunted, and when the sky is cloudy, they smell it, which makes people panic." Pang Xingyun followed Chen Tian and chatted, "The aquatic products caught in Zishui recently cannot be eaten, they are fishy and rotten. It is a pity that the sea bass this season
Just fat."
In the Battle of Makino more than ten days ago, together with Yongtai City troops and subsequent sporadic raids, a total of more than 300,000 people died here, and the water often turned red because of this.
The fish and turtles in the water were extremely fat, but when they cut open their stomachs, they found they were full of nails and hair, which was extremely unappetizing.
Fortunately, Yongtai City's logistical supplies are excellent. There is a steady supply of grain and grass, fresh fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and geese. There is no shortage of everything. It doesn't matter if you don't eat these pickled aquatic products.
Chen Tian walked around the half-built battlement wall, slowed down, turned the corner and saw flickering will-o'-the-wisps. There was the mass grave where 200,000 Yin's coalition troops were previously buried.
"The spiritual weapon ship carrying the Wangcang soldiers has not arrived at the headquarters yet. Something must have happened. Has the scout sent back the news?" "It should be soon." Pang Xingyun seemed not to notice that a group of human-shaped will-o'-wisps were approaching, and he concentrated on answering Chen.
Tian's question, "The Griffin Legion has been making a lot of trouble recently, and the thunder is getting more powerful day by day. I guess there is trouble in Yongtai City."
Tired of it."
The appearance of Hong Tian Lei surprised Chen Tian. Logically speaking, spiritual stones are very precious and should never be thrown from a high altitude as bombs.
However, the amount of energy dropped by the Griffin Legion each time was enough to flatten a mountain. It can be seen that Yin Jianyuan has spared no expense and resources in order to capture Xianyue Valley, and the war has entered a fever pitch.
Chen Tian thought about the thunder that rained down from the sky, and couldn't help but sigh that Cangxi Yin's family was extremely rich. The Griffin Legion had been deployed so many times, and they had consumed more than 100,000 spiritual stones, right?
If these resources are invested in an ordinary small sect, a master of the Lingxiao realm can almost be created out of nowhere.
In fact, migrant workers also picked up unexploded Hongtian Lei. Chentian handed it over to Qianji Pavilion and asked Cheng Yiliang to start research. However, the runes were very complicated and it would take time to decipher them.
I believe that in the near future, Yongtai City will be able to launch air strikes and drop massive thunderbolts.
However, according to Chen Tian's vision, the carrying platform is no longer a living griffon, but the newly restored mechanical flying kite of Qianji Pavilion.
This thing is not much different from a griffin, but with just spiritual power, it is like a hand crossbow compared to a bow and arrow, allowing ordinary people to quickly form combat capabilities.
After building a few more large ships with spiritual weapons in the future, Chen Tian even wants to install these mechanical flying kites on them. By then, he can form an air force that will not lose to the Griffin Army.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
But I want to think about it.
The cost of the spiritual weapon ship and the mechanical flying kite is very high, and it is necessary to expand the business and expand the scale to reduce the manufacturing cost.
The industry required for this is simply more exaggerated than Wangcang soldiers. It is estimated that when the population of Yongtai City exceeds one million, it should be able to barely support three large spiritual weapon ships and seven to eight hundred mechanical flying kites.
If it takes about half a year to form an army and form combat capabilities, then it takes five years to form a mature navy, and even longer for the air force, even more than ten years.
But Chentian is patient and can afford to wait.
Moreover, the Lotus Pattern Mirror was developed very maturely by the Mu Pavilion. It was like a secret realm. With three times the time difference, it was possible to quickly train soldiers and form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
What we have to do now is to start from scratch. As long as we cross this threshold, the rest will gradually come to fruition.
at this time.
The spirit of Li Guibing had already sneaked in front of him.
However, Chen Tian and Pang Xingyun remained motionless, staring at him with interest, eager to see his next reaction.
Li Gui felt that he had been slighted, became angry with shame, and immediately rushed forward. As a result, he saw a large group of swordsmen behind the corner, and he languished again in the blink of an eye.
He laughed angrily two or three times and silently slipped back into the mass grave, but the Mo Dao Shou from Yongzi Camp would not let him go.
Fan Changxiang rushed out with a roar, condensing his spiritual power with his palms to grab the evil ghost, and kicked him again and again, causing the mass grave to burst into mourning.
Looking at Yongzi Camp's hordes of sniping away fierce ghosts from a distance, Chen Tian randomly picked a step to sit down, turned his head and said to Pang Xingyun: "Qianji Pavilion and Fenjin Villa are the sources of weapons and equipment for the headquarters."
"You have to do a good job of security and also do internal training."
"Which projects need to be kept secret and which ones need to be widely publicized. You can lead the shogunate to draw up a specific document and implement it as soon as possible."
"Yes." Pang Xingyun nodded.
Now Chen Tian is less and less involved in decision-making, not because his subordinates have ignored him, but because Pang Xingyun and Lianzi Xin are in charge of the Military Cabinet and the Internal Affairs Bureau respectively.
The two of them have become more mature in their respective positions and their methods have become more sophisticated. Chentian often only needs to set the overall direction, and the rest of the details can be taken care of by them.
In the past few days, Chen Tian also read through the documents at will, and indeed found that their decisions were very realistic and their work was reliable.
At the same time, Chen Tian not only consciously cultivated senior officials, but also clearly pointed out that the scale of Yongtai City would become larger and larger in the future and would require many experienced ordinary officials.
The scholars in Jixia Academy became more and more diligent, either because they wanted to work for others or because they really benefited the people. They followed the example of Chen Tian and Lian Zi Xin, and they followed the example of the people and made many practical achievements.
We set up schools on a voluntary basis to teach the common people how to read and write, conduct visits and surveys, and speak out for the common people.
There are people doing these things, and at the same time, the newspaper issued by the city lord's palace is not generous in praising them, and every day there are advanced deeds made public.
In short.
Scholars from poor families, as well as a large number of scholars, have united around Chen Tian. Although the war between Yongtai City and Pingmuguan is still unclear, a large number of knowledgeable people go to Luwu Mountain every day.
Pang Xingyun was very confused about this.
And Chen Tian also explained it to him with a smile.
Monks have always been able to enter the Tao through Qi. If a brand new ladder appears, it is very possible to attain Tao and live forever. Then will monks flock to it?
The answer is obvious.
And Yongtai City does not judge heroes based on their birthplace. As long as they have real talents and practical knowledge, they can stand out. Scholars all over the world certainly regard Yongtai City as a ladder to heaven.
After chatting, Chen Tian and Pang Xingyun began to discuss counterattack on Pingmuguan, because Yongzi Camp was ready and could enter the tunnel dug by Li Jie at any time and kill Pingmuguan silently.
But before that.
There is still one big thing to do.
Attacking a city is never easy, and often requires ten times the number of troops to make such a move. However, the headquarters has only more than 70,000 soldiers and warriors, so it is obviously not a wise choice to collide with the 500,000 Yin clan's coalition forces head-on.
Therefore, Chen Tian planned to create some chaos within the Yin family's coalition forces. Not to mention the other parties killing each other, at least he wanted to alienate these servant armies from Yin Jianyuan.
After hearing the idea put forward by Chen Tian, Pang Xingyun frowned and could not think of a suitable strategy for a long time. So he began to analyze the structure of the Yin family's coalition forces to provide Chen Tian with some ideas so that he could plan a counterattack as soon as possible.
