Volume 45 Chapter 31

On the second day, the sun was rising, and on the east bank of the Weishui River, a group of knight commanders from the Xuanyuan Fortress were patrolling the battlefield and checking their readiness...

As General Weiji in the theater, Zhang Tie was also among the patrolling crowd.

Zuoqiu Mingyue walked in the front, Zhang Tie was next to Zuoqiu Mingyue, and the few people who patrolled with Zuoqiu Mingyue, except Zhang Tie, were a group of Sky Knights currently stationed in the Western War Zone in Taixia. , that is, Zhang Tie's rank of Earth Knight is a bit of an eyesore.

The earth knight is very good, but the so-called cattle must be compared. In this case, an earth knight is really nothing. Among the group of people, Zuoqiu Mingyue is the holy rank, while the other seven people are all Sky Knight.

This is also the first time that Zhang Tie has walked with a holy rank and seven skys. Although the rank is a little lower, Zhang Tie is not uncomfortable because he knows that the people who are walking with him now are all Taixia, no, is the top and most powerful existence in the entire human race. With so many powerful knights gathered together, it is not easy to see it even in Xuanyuan Hill. If there is no demon invasion, if it is not on such an occasion Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary knights would not be able to see so many powerful characters walking together in their lifetime.

Anyone here is someone who can shake one side by stomping their feet and change the situation in Taixia. This is not an exaggeration.

Among these people, Zuoqiu Mingyue is the Great Sima of Taixia, the God of the Taixia Army, several other sky knights, like Ye Qingcheng, who was the commander of the original Heijia Army, and five of the other six sky knights are Taixia's upper fourth army The current or former commander in chief, and another one from the Taixia royal family in Xuanyuan Hill, who is an elder of the Taixia royal family.

Except for Zuoqiu Mingyue and Ye Qingcheng, more than half of the people in this group, Zhang Tie has been in the war zone for nearly two years, and it was only two days ago that Zhang Tie saw them for the first time.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Zhang Tie's duties as a general, and today everyone is inspecting the combat readiness of the battlefield, the military god personally called Zhang Tie to participate, in normal times, Zhang Tie wouldn't even have the qualifications to walk with these people .

As the so-called "no desires, you can be strong", Zhang Tiexin has nothing to ask for, even if he walks with some of the top people of this era, his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing. When dealing with ordinary things, Zhang Tie's attitude also made several people get in close contact with Zhang Tie for the first time and observe secretly. The sky knight watching Zhang Tie's evaluation of Zhang Tie was a few levels higher. It’s just that what these people don’t know is that apart from being strong without desires, Zhang Tie has squeezed a sky knight into a flat sleep for decades in the tower of time, and now walking with a group of sky knights, he will not There is no more formality.

Zhang Tie and Yan Feiqing's biggest gain from being together is to understand that the sky knight is also a human being, and there are also human emotions, joys, anger, sorrows, joys, crying and laughing, and there are intractable and unbreakable bureaus and barriers in the heart. The sky knights are powerful, but this power does not destroy humanity, but makes them live with more temperament, such as Yan Feiqing, such as her master Zhao Yuan, the reason why a few sky knights give people a weird feeling is that That's because these people have a high status, but they have already experienced prosperity and life and death. What ordinary people pursue is no longer rare for them, and what they pursue is unimaginable for ordinary people.

In just one day, the sky more than 200 miles away on the west bank of the Weishui River was already gray. It was the smoke from the war tree of the Demon Race. In the blank area, at this time, there are still a few waves of war spirits and tornadoes entangled together. It is that the knights who are outposts and guerrillas on both sides are fighting after they meet. It's just this kind of battle.

For the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of elite knights from the two tribes of humans and demons gathered, it was only a normal small friction. It was normal to have such friction, and it was abnormal to have no such friction.

The battlefield was in a mess, and the corpses of several Ironclad Demons scorched by the explosive mines fell on the ground in front of them. The charred corpses of the Ironclad Demons shrunk by two-thirds, like a piece of charred old tree trunk. Can't see the original face, but there is still a residual burnt smell looming in the air.

A group of people strolled in the courtyard, passing by the charred corpses of the Iron Armored Demon.

In the minefield on the east bank of the Weishui River, more than 90,000 Iron Armored Demons had waded out of a blank area yesterday, so early this morning, an engineering regiment from Taixia had entered this minefield, and is now Nervous homework.

The scorched corpses of Ironclad Demons can be seen everywhere, but the Taixia Engineer Corps who entered the minefield did not touch these corpses, but started to mine from the edge of the Wei River again. This is a dangerous job, but at that time, the explosive mines in this area were also laid by the same engineer regiment. These Taixia engineers who laid mines generally have an impression of where there are mines, and now they enter the minefield. Everyone was careful. The soldiers of the Engineer Corps found the landmines that had not been detonated almost inch by inch, and then drew white lines around the mines, planted warning red flags, and then re-distributed the landmines in those blank areas. Lay explosive landmines one after another, and pull up the damaged barbed wire again. The barbed wire can effectively delay the attack speed of the demons' ground troops. These countless barbed wires are like a huge quagmire to the ground troops. Same, and when the demons' ground troops fell into this quagmire, it was the time for Taixia's airship troops to show their might...

Zhang Tie knew that with the abilities of the Sky Knight and the Holy Order, even if they were separated by four or five hundred kilometers, the commander of the Demon Race and the Sky Knight would definitely be able to see the scene where the engineers here were laying mines, but Taixia's side But they still have no scruples, but even if the commander of the demon clan and the sky knight knew it, it was useless to see it, because these explosive mines were aimed at the demon warriors charging on the ground. It is possible to instill what they remember in their minds into the heads of those charging demon warriors.

Taixia's engineering troops were originally only auxiliary legions, but the appearance of explosive mines turned them into a front-line combat force. They don't need to fight with the demons. They only need to lay mines to kill the demon warriors. They were killed yesterday It can be said that most of the 200,000 Ironclad Demons were killed by the mines planted by the engineering troops. Such a victory instantly burst the morale of the engineering troops in the entire theater. Now when clearing the battlefield and laying mines, teams of engineers and soldiers are full of energy. Not far away, some engineers and soldiers even sang happily while laying mines, which caused the people around to laugh. Yesterday The victory made the atmosphere of the entire western theater suddenly changed.

"The engineering corps needs to be strengthened!" Zuoqiu Mingyue watched as he walked, and took everything on the battlefield very seriously. After a group of people walked on the battlefield for a long time, Zuoqiu Mingyue finally said, "The troops of the states in the rear In the reorganization of the army, except for some people who turned into air cavalry, the size of the reorganized legions and engineer units must be increased from at least one division to two divisions, and the special ones can be increased to three divisions. The troops need to be motorized, and the vehicles and airships of all engineering units must be configured according to the requirements of the first-class corps in the Fourth Army. The front-line troops may not be able to outrun the demon troops, but the front-line engineering troops must be able to outrun the demon troops! "Speaking of this, Zuoqiu Mingyue looked at Zhang Tie, "How many explosive mines are stored in the rear now?"

"As of yesterday, there are still 25 million explosive mines in stock in the four prefectures around Kangning and Bingbing..." Zhang Tie replied, "Because too many landmines were placed on the front line of Weishui and Helan Mountain in the early stage, and the stock consumption is too large. The production speed of the military factory has not caught up all of a sudden!"

Zuoqiu Mingyue was expressionless when she saw her today, but at this moment, when Zuoqiu Mingyue opened her mouth, Zhang Tie knew that Zuoqiu Mingyue had put down what happened yesterday, and the pardon was still useless after all. .

"Only this little?" Zuoqiu Mingyue frowned.

This inventory of more than 20 million landmines is too much for others, but in the environment of the western theater, facing the hundreds of millions of demons, it is less. Only in the first two months, Taixia There are more than 170 million landmines planted on both sides of the Wei River and in the Helan Mountains...

In yesterday's battle, there is no need to talk about the power of the explosive mines. Everyone knows the importance of this sharp weapon. kill it. Zhang Tie was majestic on the battlefield in World War I yesterday, but few people knew that before the war, it was Zhang Tie who insisted on deploying landmines on a large scale in the war zone.

"The various arsenals in the rear are slowly expanding the production scale of explosive landmines. At the same time, after the war yesterday, I have asked Tianjimen to urgently dispatch a batch of explosive landmines to the theater to supplement the needs of the theater. About a week later, the explosive landmines of Tianjimen will be released It will be delivered!"

"How many pieces did you ask Tianjimen to send?"

"200 million pieces, purchased at cost price..."

Hearing Zhang Tie's answer, except for Zuoqiu Mingyue, the faces of the other sky knights changed slightly. Several people took a deep look at Zhang Tie. Except for Zhang Tie, General Wei Ji, whoever would come here Even if Zuoqiu Mingyue opened his mouth, he might not be able to let a sect like Tianjimen send 200 million explosive mines at the cost price. You must know that after the first battle yesterday, the entire Taixia, all kinds of The value of Explosive Weapons has risen rapidly. Except for the Taixia court, every wealthy family has started hoarding these weapons in large quantities. At this time, Zhang Tie can ask Tianjimen to send 200 million Explosive mines at a cost price.

Everyone knows that Tianjimen's candle oil production and the production of various explosive weapons are in cooperation with Zhang Tie's candle dragon collar, and the pace of Tianjimen's candle oil production is one step faster than that of the Western Theater, but no one expected Zhang Tie's influence on Tianjimen will be so great.

Hearing Zhang Tie's answer, even Zuoqiu Mingyue nodded to Zhang Tie and said, "Thanks for your hard work...".

"It's not hard work. It's supposed to be for Taixia and the human race in the holy war, not to mention it's my job!" Zhang Tie said modestly, without any look of pride and complacency.

Even if Zhang Tie "threatened" himself in his office yesterday and was "proud" for a woman, but in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had Tianjimen send 200 million blasting mines, absolutely not for personal reasons. Abandoned, and Zhang Tie had foreseen the expansion of the production scale of explosive landmines in various states. Such a person, in the war zone, is really his right-hand man, the pillar of the country, and the pillar of Taixia. Thinking that the younger generation of his family cannot marry For Zhang Tie, she can only be Zhang Tie's sister-in-law, and Zuoqiu Mingyue just secretly said it's a pity in her heart...

After "offending" Zhang Tie once, Zuoqiu Mingyue valued Zhang Tie more in her heart.

"Yesterday, in the first battle between the Air Cavalry and the Winged Demons, the two sides were evenly matched. You have made great contributions to forming the Air Cavalry in the battle zone. No one can doubt it. I will report it to you and ask for credit for you in the future!" Zuoqiu Mingyue looked at Zhang Tie. Said, gave Zhang Tie a little "comfort".

Zhang Tie sighed, "Yesterday in the battle between the air cavalry and the Winged Demon, many air cavalry chose to die with the Winged Demon after shooting all the explosive crossbow arrows on the plane, or drove the plane to the Iron Armored Demon on the ground. There are less than half of them, and I hope that adults can order regulations. In the future, when air cavalry battles in the air, once they lose the ability to fight, the first priority is to save themselves, and they must not risk their lives..." 〖To be continued〗
