Start a city building order

Chapter 111

In the morning, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is high and the clouds are light, which is a good time for late autumn.

In front of Zhulu Pass, there used to be an open farmland, but it has been requisitioned long ago, and now it has been built into a huge training ground with a length of two miles from north to south and two miles from east to west.

The training ground is surrounded by wooden fences, where the 600 recruits of the Pre-Battle Battalion practice daily.

Those in charge of the training are 24 disabled veterans, all of whom were wounded and retired from the frontier army. They have been training here for more than ten days now. Occasionally, Li Xin's hussars battalion will also come here to train for battle. The recruit Danzi felt the pressure of the horse's impact.

The training effect of these veterans of the frontier army is naturally not as good as that of famous historical generals.

At the same time, Dian Wei can train the front-line arms of the champion swordsman.

Qin Qiong can train level 1 recruits into level 3 border guards.

But here, these recruits are barely trained to be level 2 guard recruits.

However, Li Si was not in a hurry, and even asked Zhao Shan to stabilize his mentality. He only needed to train hard every day, rain or shine.

At this moment, Zhao Shan also received Li Si's order, and was negotiating with Jiang Yun, deputy guard of Zhulu Pass, and Cheng Daniu, deputy guard.

Speaking of which, Zhuluguan was the first to be built by Li Si, and it was under construction on the first day of the game. So far, it has been 27 days.

The original Zhulu Pass has become an inner city, and the larger Zhulu Pass defense system has also begun to take shape. The construction here has always been valued by Li Si, and the strength given is also the greatest.

The first batch of craftsmen who participated in the project consisted of thousands of young and strong craftsmen. After a large number of refugees were rescued from the Fusheng Taoist Temple, more than [-] people were invested.

After the rush to harvest rice and wheat, another 3000 people went here.

When iron ore was discovered here, another 1000 people were invested, mainly responsible for road construction.

But yesterday, 2 refugees flooded in, Li Si waved his hand, and another [-] young and strong were resettled here. Counting the families of these young and strong, there were more than [-] people.

The number of people involved in the construction shows how ambitious Li Si is.

When Dian Wei suggested that Li Si take Lucheng, he had already formulated a development strategy that would focus on Zhulu Pass in the future.

And today, facing the persecution of destiny and the pressure of Jiangnan and Song clans going north, Li Si can maintain the greatest calmness, at least [-]% of the reason is that he has the pass to fight for the deer.

At present, Cheng Daniu has built a ten-mile-long village wall and twelve outposts along the line of Dungcha River and Guijiansorrow Canyon on the west line of Tazi Mountain.

If this wall and outpost were placed on a plain, to put it bluntly, the walls of the landlord's house would be stronger than it.

However, these wall outposts were built on very steep cliffs, valleys, and river banks. Even if each outpost could only accommodate 50 crossbowmen, it would be difficult for the enemy to pass.

Because this is in the mountains, it is difficult for the enemy's army to enter, and it is not enough for small troops to enter.

At present, these twelve outposts have all been stationed in crossbowmen, and most of the arms are recruited ranger captains, who are then transferred to god arm crossbowmen.

God Arm Crossbow, now in Li Si's army, the popularity rate is already very high.

In addition, there are five trebuchet positions built on the top of the mountain on the Kansai line, which can just echo the twelve outposts.

It can be said that the western front of Zhuluguan is completely stable.

Therefore, from the west line to the east, an area about fifteen miles long has become Li Si's heavy industry industrial park.

There are iron mines, coal mines, and stone mines here, and they are safe enough.

At present, ten iron-making furnaces have been built here. Although the quality of the refractory bricks is not as good as that of the furnace in the secret room in the mountain belly of the Lu family courtyard, it is absolutely necessary to make low-carbon steel. no problem.

The iron ingots produced here will be quickly transported to Shanzui in the southwest of Xishan County. The dam here is half completed, and hydraulic forging hammers and hydraulic mills are being installed on a large scale.

These two alone will save Li Si the labor of at least 5000 people in the future.

The wheat harvested here can be ground into flour, and the iron ingots sent here can be forged into various semi-finished products and finished products.

For example, big killers such as bearings, such as the god arm crossbow, such as the heavy crossbow of the demon sniper, the eight ox crossbow, etc., and the heavy plate armor made of low carbon steel.

The weight can reach one hundred catties, and even the god arm crossbow can't shoot through it. It is a perfect match for hoplites.

In the next period of time, whether it is the champion swordsman or Dong Erdai's Baizhan Zuoying, they will all be equipped with such a full-body heavy plate armor.

If these can only be regarded as the foundation of Zhulu Pass, then another strategic significance of the existence of Zhulu Pass is to overlook the great river.

On the north bank of the Great River, there are many landing places, but there are not many good ports. One of them is just south of Lucheng, called Pingcheng Ferry, and it is the most important foreign trade port of the Lu family in Lucheng.

But in the Luming Mountain area, due to the criss-crossing mountains, thousands of feet of cliffs, and fast-flowing water, let alone a good port, there is no place to anchor and land. Going downstream, the only place where you can land is an unnamed small fishing village. , it must be fifty miles away from Zhulu Pass.

Li Si's original plan was to build a port south of Xujia Village, but later he gave up this thankless plan after consulting a professional level 5 veteran fisherman.

So he changed to deterrence!
Well, when the river is flooded, the width of the banks on the side of Pingcheng Ferry is about four miles, but in the area of ​​Luming Mountain, the width drops to two miles.

And this section of the route is more than 50 miles.

Li Si's requirements are not high, as long as he can directly threaten him with a trebuchet, the hit rate is one percent.

The ancients said, I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, you will save money to buy roads.

How easy it is.

What, you call this robbery, yet you have the audacity to slander His Royal Highness Qi Wang!
Remember, this is called taxation.

Of course, this requires the establishment of a port and a fortress in the fishing village downstream.

Fortunately, it was already Li Si's place over there, and there are currently about [-] fishermen settled there, but that place has not yet entered the queue for strategic development.

"The time is still too short and too urgent."

Cheng Daniu sighed at this time, although the main construction of Zhulu Pass has been completed, even Dongshan Pass to the east has been included.

His Royal Highness thinks that Dongshan Pass will be included in Zhulu Pass, and they agree, but it is a bit problematic to build a port and fortress in the downstream fishing village.

Firstly, it is too far away. Zhuluguan is only 30 miles away from Xishan County, and only [-] miles away from Futou Mountain. The road is smooth and the freight is convenient, but it is a bit far away from the fishing village.

Secondly, that fishing village is too isolated to defend.

When the war starts, the enemy will not only land at the ferry, there are too many places where they can land near the fishing village, nowhere like Zhulu Pass, any enemy ship that dares to approach can be intimidated by force.

"His Royal Highness did not say that a port fortress must be built there. Isn't this asking for our opinion? The current task is still to quickly place large and medium-sized trebuchets in order to block the river. Let's have a good talk." Zhao Shan said with a smile, but he understood Li Si's good intentions, but this matter can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Our Royal Highness, that is wise and mighty.

Cheng Daniu blinked, didn't say anything more, and didn't know if he understood, but just seeing that he started to mobilize the craftsman Qing Zhuang, he should understand.

Just as Zhao Shan was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, and saw two messengers coming on horseback, shouting from a distance.

"Urgent military situation, quickly evade!"

Zhao Shan hurried forward, the two riders reined in their horses and stopped abruptly, one of them jumped off the horse, took out the sealed military book and handed it over.

"General Zhao, Your Highness's military orders."

"Okay, you two have worked hard." Zhao Shan quickly opened the military book, and was stunned when he saw it.

The content of the book of war is to let him quickly lead the 600 soldiers of the Baizhan Front Battalion without carrying heavy weapons and armor, and set off immediately to go to Yanhui Mountain to join the Baizhan Zuoying, and be restrained by Dong Erdai, the commander of the Baizhan Zuoying.

"No, Zhao Shan takes orders!"

Zhao Shan clasped his hands in the direction of Xishan County, first asked Cheng Daniu to hand over, then quickly gathered soldiers and hurried north.

He didn't know what happened, but at this moment, he could only let go of the matter of Zhuluguan.

And when Zhao Shan led the Baizhanqian Battalion to march towards Yanhui Mountain in a hurry, there were also 800 soldiers in Lujia Town who were ready to go.

These are the 800 level 3 border guards trained by Qin Qiong in the past few days, but they have now reorganized, that is, the Battalion after the Hundred Wars.

Those in charge of commanding them are Captain Sun Cheng and Captain Xu Chang, who were transferred from Baizhan Zuoying.

Among them, Xu Chang was the acting commander.

The ability of these two men to command troops is slightly inferior to that of Dong Erdai, and they can completely command the 800 frontier guards.

This can also be regarded as Li Si's strategy to ostracize Qin Qiong and Dian Wei. Hungry, in fact, is not an evasion.

Because the ability of these two soldiers training is too strong.

If Dong Er stayed to train soldiers, at most 100 second-level guard recruits could be trained in ten days.

This is still the best Dong Erdai.

It would be even worse for frontier veterans like Xu Chang, Sun Cheng, Zhang Miao, and Wu Ya.

But Qin Qiong, it only took eight days, eight days, 800 level 3 frontier guards were trained.

Just ask if you are afraid of it!
Level 3 frontier guards already have strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and they just happened to be sent to the battlefield. After several life-and-death battles, the elite of level 4 survived.

As for Qin Erye, recruits are enough, 1500 recruits have been selected, and I don't know if this has reached the limit of Er Ye's training?
Anyway, it can continue to improve in the future. When Xishan County is upgraded to a 5th-level county government, or a 1st-level state city, Erye will be canonized as a general of Fuyuan.

The kind that commands [-] troops.

Li Si thought happily.

She didn't know that Qin Qiong had already vomited in the chat group.

To be honest, if it weren't for the buff of the three-surname house slave hanging over his head, if it wasn't for the high price of punishment for the second betrayal, if it wasn't for being easily bombarded and killed by Tianming as an undocumented intruder...

Qin Qiong will definitely hang up and leave, what do you think I am?Is Gao Shun, the military training maniac!
Grass!
