Chapter 252: Building the Black Sky Fortress

Mai Ke and eight others got down from the back of the raptor and stood on the top of the mountain. The ridge was as steep as a knife, and the width was only enough for two people to stand side by side, so everyone had to pull a line and stand on the top of the mountain against the upside-down mountain wind.

According to Tan, the mountain is called Heixiao Mountain because it is shrouded in thick blackened clouds and mist most of the year. And the mountain wind that blew from the north kept blowing vigorously for a moment, stirring up and rolling these black clouds up and down.

Today was a coincidence, just in time for the crisp sky, although the mountain breeze was still strong, the visibility was very good.

From the top of the hill to the north, a low hill comes into view, followed by a longer hilly terrain. At the end of the hill is a dwelling, a mountain village called Dongqu, which is the residence of the village administration in this area.

Looking further north, natural vision is not good, but Mai Ke and Wu Renxiao have no problem, both of them use their own multi-functional vision adjusters, which have both night vision and farsightedness, and they can always see Yuyang County from here.

Mai Ke immediately saw the military value here. First of all, standing here, without additional work, can take advantage of the height of this place to have an unobstructed view of all the vast area in the north direction, which is better than any other observation post or observation post.

Look at the defensive value here. If the enemy attacks from the north, they must ascend step by step, and they can only attack from the back, not to mention the defensive strength on the top of the mountain, even if they can climb up, it is not something that ordinary people can do. Moreover, they have to carry weapons and other offensive equipment, which makes it even more difficult.

The right side of Heixiao Mountain is the only way to enter the village from the north. It is a deep ditch split in the middle of the Black Sky Mountain, with cliffs on both sides, and a passage about three lengths and widths in the middle. The ravine was as if a mountain had been split with a great axe, and then the two halves had been pushed in either direction.

If the enemy wanted to attack here, if nothing else, the rocks pushed down from the cliffs on both sides would smash them into powder. If you don't smash them, let them in, close the door and beat the dogs, and you will still be doomed.

The observation and defense here is excellent, but the real value is in the offense! All areas in the north go directly to Yuyang County. All of them are swept into the pocket.

This is still only the premise of cold weapons, if some long-range cannons, or powerful city defense crossbow arrows, then this large area will be under deterrence.

Meantime. It threatens Yuyang County and the area under its jurisdiction. It also directly controlled the passage of some northern provinces into the northern meridian. Not only did those who supported the Manchus not be able to come to their aid from here. It also cut off their way out of here if they fail! Once this place is cut off, it means that they can't go back to their hometown.

Since the military value is so high. Mai Ke immediately arranged for Tan Guo to start the corresponding construction, starting from the lookout, and finally building this place into a fortress with both offense and defense!

This arrangement showed the beginning of the Heixiao Mountain Fortress, and in the future, it became famous, and the Black Dragon Pond Fortress in the south was as famous as the north and south.

Mai Ke attaches great importance to this place, and several men are also very interested, especially Tan Ping is very interested in military affairs, and he has studied a lot, so he immediately grabbed the task of building this fortress. Mai Ketong guò competed and talked, and had a deeper understanding of these tiger generals of the Tan family. But these are all auxiliary, and the key is that the spirit of the rhino moves! Mai Ke has already felt Tan Ping's concentricity!

Therefore, at the same time that Tan Ping got the establishment of the Heixiao Mountain Fortress, Mai Ke officially appointed him as the commander of the fortress, and the standing strength of the fortress was 3,000, which was comparable to the Black Dragon Pond Fortress.

Mai Ke is still here, but the two ladies can't stand the cold mountain wind. The little guy on the side had already taken off his coat and put it on for Tan Fengfei.

Since the same clouded leopard reached the top, he has not left Mai Ke, when his little tail Tan Fengwu, while shaking Mai Ke's arm, while looking at him eagerly, the message expressed is clear: I also want your shirt!

But what she didn't know was that Mai Ke's shirt was extraordinary, and she never left her body, except for one exception, which was to put on Jingrui to protect her from the rain. Not to mention, Mai Ke's coat is not a coat, if he gives it to her, he can only be bareback and shirtless!

Now Mai Ke was embarrassed. I can't say my own reasons, but I don't have to take responsibility, and I can't even give up a coat. As soon as he hesitated here, the little sister became anxious, thinking that Mai Ke was rejecting him, shaking harder, and his big eyes were full of moisture, and he looked like he was crying for you immediately.

Besides, taking off this shirt is not a big problem, as long as he doesn't get too far away from him, he still keeps in touch with himself, and there is still a spirit to move.

So, he quickly took off his shirt and draped it on Feng Wu's body. Tan Xiaomei immediately smiled, and the clouds turned sunny. While she was in a cheerful mood, the biting cold wind no longer brought cold, and the body temperature brought by her clothes suddenly wrapped her.

"It's so warm!" she snorted, letting her look gratefully at the source of the warmth. I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw this!

It turned out that the eldest brother stood shirtless in the wind like that, and continued to discuss with everyone the specific matters of building the fortress.

A strange feeling filled her chest, and only the figure of Wei An, who was not wearing a shirt, was left in her eyes, and the little girl was moved.

After a while, the matter was over, and everyone turned clockwise to the east according to the original arrangement. The first step is to cross this moat to the opposite cliff. If you walk, it will take at least an hour, and with the help of birds of prey, it will be simple, one takes off and one lands, and you will arrive in the blink of an eye.

Of course, Xiao Feng Wu still rode with her big brother in the same leopard, and at this time, the clouded leopard also accepted Feng Wu and gave her friendly feedback in return, and the little girl was even happier.

Of course, she expressed her unbearability to her warmth and her eldest brother's bare back, and wanted to return her shirt, but Mai Ke looked at the opposite mountain peak and the one higher to the east, and shook her head and vetoed. In my heart, I don't have to give it back to you for a while?

But he really didn't feel the cold, minus thirty or forty degrees, he just waited, this cold wind is too trivial. He told her that he wasn't cold at all, wasn't he a little hot?

The little girl was very curious, and she really reached out to touch it, and she was startled when she touched it, and it was really hot, and the temperature was quite high!

In fact, Mai Ke just maintained a normal body temperature, his physique was good, and he also maintained normal operation in the cold wind. And the little girl's own hands were already cold, and her mood was a little fluctuating, so she formed such a feeling.

In the blink of an eye, they reached the top of the cliff on the east side, and everyone began to advance towards the higher main peak of the east mountain. (To be continued......)

PS: Mai Ke set foot on the first stop of Niangzishui and decided to establish the Black Sky Fortress on Heixiao Mountain, the main peak of Beishan. For more information, see the other chapters and the http:///Book/3032268.aspx of this chapter, Building a Fortress
