After Li Xiao successfully won the hearts of the local people, he also responded to the general invitation sent to the four townships.

A total of 300 people responded to Li Xiao's recruitment and came to serve in the fortified area. And it is estimated that after the autumn harvest is over, 300 people from each village will be selected to join.

This is a very high proportion of the more than 3,000 people in Li Xiaoling's territory.

This is the encouragement of brave men under the heavy reward, and one or two copies of support rice are already grateful to the people who can't eat enough.

Anyway, Li Xiao didn't want to build a city of much scale, and three hundred people were initially enough for Li Xiao now.

After recruiting enough manpower, the next biggest problem for Li Xiao is two, one is the construction period, it is now the end of July, that is to say, Li Xiao wants to strive to complete Shengang City within two months, which must be done by Li Xiao from now on.

And the second problem is the possible attack of Sister Xiaolu's family, now that Li Xiao has recruited the woodcutters of the Hida Kingdom, his two hundred standing forces have been formed, if Sister Xiaolu's family dispatches a small army of one hundred and two hundred to attack, it can definitely be resisted.

If a large number of hundreds, or even nearly a thousand troops, are dispatched, it will be a bit difficult to resist with Li Xiao's current standing reserve of two hundred.

However, if the Sister Road Army dispatches a large-scale military force, it will definitely have to mobilize the peasant soldiers in the territory, which is absolutely impossible to conceal from the ninjas who Li Xiao planted in the territory of the Sister Road family and specialized in spying on the intelligence of Yokotani Yukishige.

At that time, Li Xiao will also have enough time to prepare, and he can also temporarily mobilize two to three hundred peasant soldiers to assist in the defense.

However, for the barren Hida, Li Xiao's two hundred standing forces are almost the largest standing troops that can be carried on the land of five thousand stones. If another 200 standing reserves were recruited, it would mean that 200 people would be out of production, and Li Xiao's current military rations on hand would not be able to supply them at all.

Li Xiao asked Dao Shengmeng to speed up the training of his standing equipment, and while training, he was always on guard against possible damage to his sister Xiaolu's family.

At the same time, Li Xiao also let Yokotani Yushige open his eyes, in addition to keeping an eye on his sister's every move, but also to prevent the sister's Xiaolu family from recruiting ninjas to lurk in and set fire to sabotage.

After everything was arranged, Li Xiao began his great cause of building the city.

First of all, in the selection of building materials, Li Xiao chose logs from the primeval forest in the upper reaches of the plateau river, where the logs are particularly thick and durable, especially suitable for building cities.

Therefore, Li Xiao followed the example of Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro and built the Ink Matata Castle overnight, first ordered the lumberjacks to cut down the wood first, and then changed the wood into a raft and transported it down the river to the castle building site in the lower reaches of the plateau river, and then the wood was scooped up by people, processed and made into three-and-a-half or two-and-a-half-long planks, and then transported to the platform where the city was built.

On the other hand, the planks used to build the castle town are cut down by the nearby mountain forest, and because the castle town is built under the platform, there is no need to carry it up the mountain.

Li Xiao of the castle town thought that if he could seize the Eima family's Shengang Silver Mountain, this castle town could be used as an important transshipment and distribution center.

The current location of the castle town is a little far from Kamioka Castle, almost half a mile, and it is located directly on the shore of the Kohara River.

The reason why he chose to be on the shore of Kohara Town, Li Xiao imagined that if the river course of the Takahara River was improved, he could directly use a boat to transport ore from the Kamioka Mine to this castle town, and then sell it.

But now that everything is not ready, Li Xiao can only use the castle town as a samurai house.

Of course, now, Li Xiao has also built many temporary simple houses to live in as a man who built the city.

In addition to the people's participation in the construction of the city, Li Xiao also went to the carpentry seat to hire the local famous Hida craftsmen.

As the so-called art industry has a specialization, the craftsman of Hida has participated in the construction of the capital and Buddhist temples since the retirement years, and participated in the construction of a small Kamioka Castle, so naturally it is no longer a problem.

Of course, before building the main building of the city, Li Xiao must prepare the fortifications in case of emergency.

First of all, a three-meter-deep and two-meter-wide Horikiri was excavated on the terrace outside the castle, and an upside-down bamboo spear was buried at the bottom of the horikri.

And the second line of defense is to make a horse fence.

Li Xiao made two anti-horse fences, one was located on the edge of Horikiri, and made an angle of four or five degrees diagonally upwards to increase the difficulty of the enemy's climbing from Horikiri.

The second barrier is really upright.

As the outer defense of Kamioka Castle, Horikiri, and the anti-horse fence had to be operated in advance, because the castle tower and the outer kukukuwa took a long time to build, and it was not built so quickly.

In case the sister Xiaolu family attacks, with Horikiri and the anti-horse fence, Li Xiao can also use two hundred standing reserves to resist for a while.

Horiki, anti-horse fence, it only took two days to do it, with these two defense systems, Li Xiao finally has a little confidence in his current safety.

The next step was to design the main building of the castle, and the main part of the main part was designed and constructed by Hida craftsmen, and the people were responsible for laying the ground.

At that time, the main purpose of the design of Kamiokande Castle was to hoard military rations, so protecting the military ration hoarding place accordingly was the first priority. However, Li Xiao also considered that this Shengang City was an important city in the future to protect the wings and the Shengang Silver Mountain, so it took a lot of thought to design it.

Therefore, Li Xiao's general grain warehouse was set up on the edge of the main pill, separated by a curved wheel on all sides, as a separate space, and there were arrows to provide protection, and it was named Shenshou Pill.

Both the Jinshomaru and the Honmaru are located on the highest side of the platform, so you can observe the situation in the vicinity from a high vantage point.

In addition to the main pill and the jinmori pill, a wooden board is used as a curver wheel, and it is set as a waikaku, which is used as an outer pill. The terrain of the outer pill is slightly lower than that of the Jinmori Maru Honmaru, and as the outer country, it becomes the real first line of defense against the attacks of foreign forces.

In the design of the rope, between the three pills to the main pill - the god shou pill - the outer pill so through, and the main pill, the god shou pill is located on the table is higher than the outer pill, so it is said that this is a typical up and down stepped mountain town, after the general design plan is determined, it is the specific implementation.

The first step in building the outer pill is to level the land, around the center of the main pill, Ninomaru, and level the ground and build a high base in the center.

The excess soil in the land is leveled, and the earthwork excavated by the original excavation is directly used as a rampart, and after the outer ring of the outer ring of the outer wall of the outer maru is high, it is pressed and tamped.

The ramparts had to be at the top of Horikiri's fortified section, and behind the second barrier, two meters above the outer end.

After digging the earth barrier, the processed wood is used as the curl wheel for the outer pellet.

At present, the conditions are limited, and the curved wheels of Kamiokanda Castle can only be replaced by wood first, and can be changed to stone when there is enough time later.

The curved wheels of the outer pills are made of three and a half high long wooden planks, which are inserted vertically one by one.

And such large planks can only be obtained in large quantities in the undeveloped primeval forest in the upper reaches of the plateau river.

The wooden curl wraps the outer pill of Kamioka Castle tightly, and the only thing is the tiger's mouth of the outer pill of Kamiokanda Castle, that is, the entrance and exit of the outer pill warp wheel, leaving a gap.

Outside the tiger's mouth, a suspension bridge was used to cross Horikiri, which served as a passage connecting the inside and outside of the castle.

At the gate of Torakaguchi, it is also the Otemon gate of Kamioka Castle.

In Nobunaga's Nobunaga's Ambi 12, there is a research fortification special called the Tsumon, and after researching, you can get a skill with castle durability +3000.

What is a gate, in fact, it is an ordinary city gate, fixed with a beam, and then equipped with a roof, it is called a gate.

If there is not even this roof, only one beam is fixed, it is called a crown wooden door, and there is not even this beam, and the two doors alone are the most defensible gate Li Xiao remembered that during the Uesugi Army's Rock Rejection Castle Cage Castle War, the design of the Rock Rejection Castle Outer Pill Tengu Pill Otemen Gate was the Goryeo Gate with defensive power above the gate.

The Goryeo Gate is a platform on which people can walk and stand on it by adding wooden pillars behind the gate, and at the same time, a crankwheel is erected on the door, and a narrow room is opened on top of it that can be designed.

This design strengthened the defenses of the city gates.

In the design of the Oteemon Gate of Kamioka Castle, due to the cooperation of the craftsman of Hida, who is known as a skilled worker, Li Xiao made the Goryeo Gate, which was the strongest defensive surname, as the first barrier to defend the city.
