Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 592 Strong Fortress

Gongsun Zan climbed up on the soon-to-be-built 'Jieshi Building' and overlooked it. He was very satisfied with the progress of the fortress.Although he failed to successfully join forces with the Xianbei people, the arrival of the Xianbei people won him precious time.

He retreated to Changli, an important town in Liaoxi County under his control, which is the western suburb of Qinhuangdao City in later generations.Here, since ancient times, it has been a land of fish and rice, and it is also known as a land of flowers and fruits.It is also Gongsun Zan's main logistics supply place.

Because Gongsun Zan arranged for his younger brother Gongsun Yue to recruit soldiers and horses in western Liaoning earlier, after Gongsun Yue came to western Liaoning, he recruited a small number of soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers were obtained entirely by capturing young men.

But anyway, Gongsun Zan now has an armed force of [-] people.

At this time, Gongsun Zan still controlled Liaoxi County and Changli County behind Liaoxi County. Changli County and Changli County in Liaoxi County were two places.

Liaoxi County is about to become the front line, Gongsun Zan must not retreat into Changli City, then he will be absolutely passive.Changli County behind him will be controlled by the Qin army, and the land where he loses supplies will be defeated.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan's troops took risks, and took Jieshi Mountain in Linhai, northwest of Changli, as their base camp, and began to build a fortress, which was called the Jieshi Mountain Fortress.

Gongsun Zan took [-] strong men from the common people and went to build Jieshi Fortress.

The reason why Gongsun Zan built the fort here is because this is the only passage.

The natural environment in ancient times was good, but relatively speaking, the living environment of human beings was harsh. Especially for expeditionary troops, there were too many places where it was impossible to march.Even if it is barely able to march, the vehicles with baggage cannot pass at all.

Therefore, Changli is indeed the place that Qin Feng must pass through in his eastward expedition at this moment.Fifty miles to the east of Jieshi Mountain is the famous Shanhaiguan Pass in later generations. In later generations, Shanhaiguan Pass was the first pass in the world. The most famous period was the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Why did the Qing Dynasty have to attack Shanhaiguan?Can't go around?It is because other places cannot march on a large scale.

It can be said that the Jieshi Mountain Fortress built by Gongsun Zan belongs to Shanhaiguan of Gongsun Zan.

Jieshi Mountain has hundreds of steep and precipitous peaks in continuous ups and downs. Its main peak, Xiantaiding, also known as Hanwutai, is more than 600 meters above sea level.Gongsun Zan built a tall building called Jieshi Tower on the top of Xiantai.The square walls of Jieshi Tower are built entirely along the cliffs on the four sides of the top of Xiantai.If it is built, it will block the only road leading to the peak, and the enemy will have to climb a cliff of more than 600 meters before they can attack Jieshilou.

However, due to the tight schedule of the project, Gongsun Zan was unable to transport stone materials, so he had to use mud and wooden structures to mix and match.But he wasn't worried at all, not to mention the mash-up of civil engineering, even if it was all made of wood, he was sure that Qin Feng would not be able to attack it.

Because the seaside of Sendaiding is more than 600 meters away, and Jieshi Tower is 700 meters away.After it is completed, Gongsun Zan will completely block the road up the mountain, making Jieshilou a completely enclosed fortress.The Qin army was 700 meters away from the level of the fortress, and the bow and arrow could not hit it, nor could the trebuchet.And Gongsun Zan can be condescending, shoot at the attacking Qin army at will, and support his own army downstairs in Jieshi.

As for the 700-meter upward climb to attack Jieshilou, Gongsun Zan is fully confident that he can shoot anyone in the process.

At this moment, Gongsun Zan was standing on the northern corner of the Jieshi Building.He looked at the civilian team that was constantly transporting grain and grass into Jieshilou, and looked at the lush and lush Changli in the distance, and said, "Changli is a land of fish and rice, and now I have 30 dendrobium grains in storage. It will not be a problem to guard for three to five years."

He had a lot of foresight and said, "Nowadays, there are dragons and tigers fighting all over the world, who can guard my city for years, even Qin Zijin, what can he do to me?"

Guan Jing, the military adviser at the side, thought so. Holding the blueprint, he pointed to things and said, "My lord, Jieshi Mountain has the East and West Wufeng Mountains. These are the ten sub-points. In addition to this... With the back to the sea, there is no need to worry about the Qin army attacking from behind." .Especially the Jieshi Tower, which has been integrated with the mountain and has become a new mountaintop. Surrounded by cliffs, even if Qin Feng has a million troops, he is not afraid."

The top of Sendai is like a screen, with steep sides.

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan poked his head out, and looking down, he saw a 700-meter vertical cliff. Under the cliff, he could see groups of peasants, smaller than ants, digging trenches for him.Gongsun Zan smiled, "Unless they are gods, no one would be able to climb more than two hundred feet vertically to attack my Jieshi Tower."

Guan Jingyao pointed to the 'construction site' downstairs in Jieshi, and proudly said: "My lord, there are ten trenches under the top of Xiantai. The main force of our army is stationed in layers behind the trenches. It can be attacked or defended."

Gongsun Zan's Jieshilou will be closed, firstly it will be his hiding place, and secondly it will be a firepower fortress that the troops down the mountain can rely on.But he couldn't garrison all the troops in Jieshilou, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out, he would be too passive.So he arranged the main force at the foot of the mountain, and dug ten trenches for defense, so that he could advance and retreat and defend.

Guan Jing glanced at the men's team carrying grain up the mountain, and said with admiration, "My lord hoarded the grain and grass in Jieshilou. It's a stroke of genius. Qin Zijin is used to sneaking up on grain and grass, so he can't sneak up on it now. And we can feed it from a high place." , Supplement the military supplies of the troops under the mountain."

Gongsun Zan laughed out loud when he heard the words, because with the Jieshi Mountain Fortress, his confidence was completely restored at this moment, "Qin Zijin will retreat before the end of the year, and then we will take advantage of the victory to pursue and regain the land."

Guan Jing saluted and said: "My lord, with this Shijieshan fortress, from now on, we can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and sit and watch the situation remain invincible."

Gongsun Zan was even more proud. He said, "I really hope that Qin Zijin will come soon. I can't wait."

"Report..."

At this time, a small school ran up the stairs and said: "My lord, the Qin army defeated Xianbei in Xu Wushan, and the king of Xianbei, Kebi Neng, fled in embarrassment."

Gongsun Zan's face jumped wildly, "The Xianbei people were defeated so quickly." Although he had a grudge against Qin Feng, he couldn't help being in awe of the fighting power of the Qin army, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I have the Jieshi Mountain Fortress. Hurry up, send me orders to speed up the construction progress. From today onwards, you can't rest at night and work overtime at twelve hours a day. You must complete the Jieshi Mountain Fortress for me within two days!" Gongsun Zan's last shout echoed in the mountains inside and outside.

On the other hand, Qin Jun side.

The Qin army won the battle against the Xianbei people.Due to Qin Feng's excellent strategy, Qin Jun's losses were almost negligible.

"Son-in-law, good job." Sai Sang couldn't help stretching out his thumb, "Kebi can become the king of Xianbei, and he is invincible, but when it comes to son-in-law, he is nothing at all." Sai Sang Then he said worriedly: "I'm afraid that if he goes back to counterattack, it will be reckless, and the old man won't be able to stay for long."

Ta Dun also said: "Brother-in-law, I really want to stay and learn from my brother-in-law, but I have to go back, little brother."

Sai Sang and Tadun described that they were afraid that Kebi would retaliate against them in the grassland, but Qin Feng knew that this was just an excuse to leave. I am afraid that the fundamental intention of the Xiongnu and Karasuma was to take the opportunity to annex the Xianbei grassland.However, the Xiongnu, Karasuma, and Xianbei fought in the grassland, which was in line with Qin Feng's grassland strategy.The harder these three parties fight, the more conducive it is for him to truly conquer the grassland in the future.

So Qin Feng hosted a banquet in honor of Sai Sang and Ta Dun, and sent them off early the next morning.

After sending the two away, Qin Feng returned to the big tent and saw Xu Shu and Tian Feng waiting for him worriedly.
