Chapter 6: Luoyan Gorge (2)
The Hengduan Mountains live up to their name. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a towering mountain in the Eastern Continent, as its name suggests, it is this mountain that stretches for thousands of miles and is broken by the waist, which cannot be described as a knife and broken, it should be described as a giant dragon being torn into two sections.
Luoyan Gorge is this tear, this crack is about twenty or thirty miles wide, Luoyan Canyon is more than 100 miles long, Luoyan Gorge fortress is lined up on the west entrance of this tearing fracture.
Luoyan Gorge is also worthy of its name, every late autumn, the canyon is full of migrating geese to rest and rest.
The Xiaoling River meanders from the Luoyan Gorge to the Jingyang Plain on the east side of the Hengduan Mountains, and then flows into the Jingyang River, which flows into the sea in the east, which is the second largest river in the Eastern Continent, and the Li River is indisputably the first.
Although the Chu State is in civil strife, but the fortress is lined up in the Luoyan Gorge, so it is difficult for other countries to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to covet the territory of the Chu State, the Heze City and Linqiu City to the west of the Luoyan Gorge Fortress are the last time the vassal states fought the Chu State to plunder the territory of the Daqiu State, Su Yu of the South Suli State has been coveting it for a long time, Su Wei's original intention is to occupy these two cities first, looking for an opportunity to break through the Luoyan Gorge fortress and attack Shangjing, but he doesn't want to make people by providence, but it is Zhang Xian who gets the two cities, although Zhang Xian is still Su Wei's courtier, but because of his own bitter fruit, he is unable to control this courtierγ
Zhang Xian and the three of them were also quite shocked when they looked at the famous fortress in front of them, and the huge city wall of Basu City shocked Zhang Xian, but compared with Basu City, this fortress in front of them was really a mountain and a mound.
Zhang Xian visually measured the height of the city wall of this fortress, the lowest is more than forty meters high, although there is no moat and ditch, but even if you are allowed to go under the city wall, let you do the siege ladder on the spot, you can't make it so high, the general height of the city wall is at most eight or nine meters, Basu City is considered to be more than three zhang high, more than ten meters high, but this Luoyan Gorge fortress is more than ten zhang high and more than forty meters high for boulder masonry, just this huge project is shocking enough.
"Hehe, how much manpower and material resources do you have to spend to build such an invincible fortress!"
Zhang Xian sighed.
"The lord didn't know that although this giant city consumed immeasurable manpower and material resources, the designers at that time took advantage of the topography and local materials to build this giant city at the cost of building an ordinary city. β
Luo Song explained.
"Oh. β
Zhang Xian somewhat understood.
"It seems that the fortress should have been built on a hill. β
"Yes, most of them are built on the mountain, and the main city is more than a zhang high when you look at the city wall inside, but the canyon passage and the part of the Linghe River can't be tricked, it is said that no less than 50,000 people died in that section of the city wall, hehe..."
Red Evil is also very concerned about this invincible fortress, and has a lot of information, Luo Song is responsible for lurking this piece, and there are his people in the Luoyan Gorge Fortress, so he knows some things about the Luoyan Gorge Fortress.
"If you want to break through this fortress, you can only collapse from the inside, and if you want to attack it, even if there are millions of people, it will be difficult to shake it!"
Zhang Xian couldn't help but sigh.
In this era of cold weapons, a city wall more than ten meters high is difficult to break, not to mention the city wall built of boulders more than forty meters high, and the invincible fortress is not invincible, as long as there is a problem inside, it will be self-defeating.
While speaking, several people entered the fortress through inspection, walked on the passage of Luoyan Gorge, Zhang Xian looked around, the fortress was indeed built on the mountain, and the passage was parallel to the Ling River, one side of the main city of the passage was also a city wall made of boulders, and on the other side of the Ling River was a cliff, and there was a road built on the cliff, where the fortress defenders could be faintly seen.
"This passage can only walk three carriages side by side, hehe, it is to attack the city gate, in this narrow passage, it can only be passively beaten, more people come in and more people die, this design, worthy of the name of the invincible fortress. β
Zhang Xian sighed again.
The passage is full of traffic, affected by the sudden rise of trade in Donglu City and the upcoming grand auction, although this year's snow and wind are cold, but the enthusiasm of the merchants and vendors has not diminished.
Zhang Xian and the three of them changed their appearance, dodged the flow of cars and horses, and walked out for about 20 miles, only then did they find the passage to the main city, this road is very steep and narrow, only passable people, and those who carry the burden can also do it, but they have to be sideways and humble to pass.
If you want to catch the car on the main city, you have to walk twenty or thirty miles, there is a market in the open space by the river, but there are ordinary goods that are operated there, if you want to enter the main city to trade, there is a big road in the west of the market, but the inventory is very strict, if you want to go to Beijing to trade, then you have to pass through the gorge, the inventory here is more strict, as long as you pass, continue to go to the depths of the canyon, all the way to the east, out of the canyon and then walk less than 100 miles, you can see the tall city wall of Shangjing.
When Zhang Xian and the three of them came to the main city, it was already the time of the lamp, they walked so slowly, one is that there are many people and the road is too long, almost half of the city, and the place where they enter the main city is the convergence of the big road in the east, because only this city gate can enter the main city, on this road, but you can't borrow your own cultivation to hurry, friction with people, no matter how high you cultivate, you don't dare to fight, that will be regarded as a spy by the defenders, will be shot mercilessly, and there is no place to complain if you die.
The main city is very vast, but it is not everywhere prosperous, only the two streets of Dongcheng District are divided into trade areas, in fact, these two streets are not small trade areas, Luoyanxia Fortress is nearly 100 miles in radius, and a Dongcheng District is also more than half of Donglu City.
Out of the East District, the rest of the place is a forbidden area, and it is a word to break in by mistake;
"Childe come with me. β
Zhang Xian is dressed as a noble son, Luo Song and Uncle Tai's attendants are dressed up, Luo Song bowed down and led him into an alley, the alley is outside the east wall of Fulai Restaurant, there is a small corner door not far away, Luo Song stepped forward and knocked on the door rhythmically, and there was movement in the door after a while.
"This door hasn't been opened for a long time, the locks are rusty, who is knocking? β
The man inside muttered.
"The west wind rose, the snow stopped, and the star in the western sky lit up. β
Luo Song said softly.
"Oh . . . Oh.. Hehe... Luckily, the rust lock opened in one fell swoop. β
The people inside looked excited, and in the blink of an eye the door opened.
"Really....!!"
"Shhh
The alley was very dark, and the doorway was even darker, but Zhang Xian's eyesight did not have much effect on them, the corner door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out of it, this person saw Luo Song clearly, a little too excited, Luo Song hurriedly signaled him to boo, and this person was forced to calm down.
Entering the corner gate, it was a small courtyard, two stone houses, the middle-aged man closed the corner door and locked it, trotted open the door, ran in first and lit the lamp.
"The subordinate has given the hall master a salute. β
The middle-aged man bowed down to Luo Song after giving up his seat, Zhang Xian could see that this person was uncontrollable excited, but he and Uncle Tai didn't say anything, Luo Song was a little embarrassed, after all, the lord was here, and the middle-aged man only gave him a salute, but he snubbed the lord.
Luo Song glanced at Zhang Xian when the middle-aged man lowered his head, Zhang Xian nodded, and Luo Song introduced Zhang Xian to the middle-aged man.
"Xingmang, why don't you come and meet the lord soon. β
"Ahh
"No need to be polite. β
"This is Uncle Tai. β
After the ceremony, Xingmang served tea to Zhang Xian and arranged dinner.
Half an hour later, the stars went and returned, and Zhang seemed to be in the situation of Hua Ying and Bai Ling'er.
Hua Ying and the others were locked up in the transfer classroom of Jinfeng Building, because of the scar, they had just arrived, and they didn't have time to deal with Hua Ying and them.
Jin Fenglou was opened by another charming sister, Jin Xi, and secretly agreed that Scar would let some of the girls give it to Jin Xi, so Scar stayed here overnight.
According to the news heard by Xingmangtan, Bai Ling'er has tossed Song Xin a lot in the past two days, and brought hundreds of merchants to make trouble at the gate of the forbidden area every day, from morning to night, it is said that most of the merchants who went to make trouble with Bai Linger were from Chu State, and there were also people from some shops in the fortress.
"This thing is weird, how can Bai Ling'er have such great appeal. β
Zhang Xian didn't believe that that simple little white tiger would have the heart to call on so many merchants of Chu to make trouble with her.
"Some people say that there are people with great wisdom behind the young owner. Xingmang said.
"Ahh...h
Zhang Xian had a flash of inspiration and couldn't help laughing.............
