"Outside the walls of the city is the moat, which is connected to the great river by the dug channel. ”

Soon, after a brief introduction to the city, Lin Luo pointed outside the city wall and said, "The moat can not only block the enemy's attacks, but also allow us to easily obtain water even in the hot summer season.

At the same time, it can also be used to irrigate fields after cultivating areas outside the city in the future. ”

"That's good. ”

Hearing Lin Luo's introduction, He Miao suddenly nodded with a smile on his face and said.

The summer season just experienced has made the seedlings see how hot the summer season is and how precious water resources are on this side of the river basin.

This will undoubtedly have a great adverse impact on the planting.

And now, after hearing Lin Luo's words, the problem he was worried about was suddenly solved.

"By the way, Lin Luo, where are you going to arrange the planting area?"

Immediately, He Miao continued to ask Lin Luo.

Since the hot summer season is not conducive to the growth of plants, their He clan did not carry out any cultivation during the entire summer season.

Now that the weather has cooled, four months of dry season is enough to plant one crop.

Therefore, He Miao couldn't wait to prove their He clan at the moment.

"I arranged the planting area outside the East City Gate, where the terrain is flat and the land is more fertile. ”

Lin Luo said aloud as he walked directly towards the east city wall.

As a growing area that requires a large amount of land, it is naturally impossible to arrange it in a castle.

Otherwise, the size of the entire city would have to be expanded several times, and it would have been impossible to complete it so quickly.

"Lin Luo, this city only needs one city gate is enough, why set up three!"

On the way to the east city wall, the fox witch walked up to Lin Luo's side and asked with a puzzled face.

"yes!"

As soon as the fox witch's words fell, the Yak Ox Chief nodded and agreed, "With so many city gates, it is more difficult to defend. ”

Around, several other witches and chiefs also had puzzled expressions.

You must know that the south gate, which is the main city gate, has a width of nearly ten meters, which can fully meet the daily traffic needs.

So, they couldn't figure it out, why were they still on the east and west walls? and a gate for each city.

After all? Compared to the city walls, which are more than 20 meters thick, the gates made of wood? But it's an easy breakthrough.

"Set up three gates? It is to make the transportation more convenient. ”

Facing everyone's doubts, Lin Luo explained aloud.

"Traffic?"

Everyone is still puzzled? Didn't understand what traffic meant.

"When the people go in and out of the city, or when they transport all kinds of goods? It can be more convenient. ”

See this? Lin Luo explained in detail, and gave an example: "For example, the He clan, their place of residence is located in the east of the city, and the planting area is also outside the eastern city wall.

With the East City Gate? Will they be able to pass directly through the East Gate? It's easy to go to the planting area to take care of those crops.

Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to go out of the city through the south gate and then go around the east wall to reach the planting area. ”

Compared to the siege of the enemy, there is undoubtedly more time for peace.

With three gates? It can bring great convenience to the daily life of the clansmen.

Of course? The three gates were not only for ease of access, but also for military considerations.

"Other than that? Although the three gates increase the difficulty of defense, but if the enemy wants to besiege it? Can it also become difficult? Must ......"

Soon? Lin Luo continued to speak again, explaining to the witches and chiefs.

Although the more gates, the more breakthroughs.

But again, the enemy had to spread out more troops, which would reduce the siege pressure on each gate.

If the enemy concentrates their forces on only one gate, they can also send a team out of the city through the other gates and surprise them behind the enemy.

At the same time, if you encounter a very strong enemy, you can also evacuate through other gates.

In short, there are more benefits to having multiple gates than a single gate.

After all, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors!

After listening to Lin Luo's explanation, all the witches and chiefs nodded their heads and approved of Lin Luo's idea.

"Lin Luo, what are these gaps for?"

At this time, Lu Wu pointed to the short walls on the outside of the city wall and asked Lin Luo.

"That's the battlement. ”

Hearing this, Lin Luo explained aloud: "When you encounter an enemy besieging the city, you can look at the enemy's situation from a recessed place.

At the same time, it can also rely on the bulge to protect its body from the short spear thrown by the enemy. ”

As one of the most significant features of the city wall, Lin Luo naturally couldn't forget the battlement.

Although bows and arrows were not widely used in this primitive world, long-range attack weapons such as short spears also existed.

In particular, the short spears thrown by totemic warriors are as powerful as powerful ballistas.

Therefore, it is still very necessary to build the battlement.

Hearing Lin Luo's explanation, the deer chief immediately ran to the battlement mouth to experiment.

Soon, he said with a smile on his face: "This battlement is really good, hide your body behind the high wall, and you can safely observe the situation from the low wall." ”

Different from the battlements of ancient Chinese cities, in order to resist the powerful lethality of short spears, the battlements on the city wall are also made of heavy stone bars.

But it would be a waste of time to dig a lookout hole in it.

Therefore, Lin Luo simply did not set up a special lookout hole, and directly let the low wall also assume the role of lookout.

"Well, that's a good idea. ”

"Lin Luo, how did you come up with it?"

......

Around, several witches and chiefs also quickly spoke out in praise.

In this way, in conversation along the way, they soon came to the eastern city wall.

Looking out of the castle from this point, you will see a vast, flat terrain.

Indeed, as Lin Luo said, it is a good choice as a planting area.

"Yes, it's a great place to grow. ”

On the side, He Miao's eyes looked out of the city, and his face was full of excitement.

For a tribe that once relied mainly on cultivation for their livelihood, a vast and fertile land was simply their dream place to live.

At this moment, looking at the endless plain in front of him, He Miao's heart couldn't help but be full of sighs.

If they had lived here, they would not have had to spend a lot of manpower to cultivate the terraces.

Perhaps, not only will it not suffer the disaster of extermination, but it will become more powerful.

But alas, it's too late now.

Now, he can only serve as the He clan of the tribal alliance, so that the tribe can continue to become more powerful.

......

After inspecting the planting area, Lin Luo led everyone down the stairs of the east city wall, and explained while walking in the city.

Eventually, we came to the sacrificial square in the center of the city.

"Lin Luo, send some craftsmen to the sacrificial square. ”

Looking at the sacrificial square under construction in front of him, Zhu Wu turned his head to Lin Luo and said, "We must complete the construction of the sacrificial square before the heavy rain comes." ”

"Good. ”

Hearing this, Lin Luo immediately nodded in response.

He knew that several witches had already discussed and decided to hold a big sacrifice in the newly built city.

As the venue for the grand sacrifice, the festival square must be built before then.
