Gongsun Chan climbed high and overlooked the soon-to-be-built 'Jieshi Tower', and he was very satisfied with the progress of the fortress. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although he was not able to successfully meet the Xianbei people, the arrival of the Xianbei people won him precious time.

He retreated to Changli, an important town in Liaoxi County, which he controlled, that is, the western suburbs of Qinhuangdao City. Here, since ancient times, it has been the land of fish and rice, and it also has the reputation of the land of flowers and fruits. It is also the main logistical supply place of Gongsun Zhan.

Because Gongsun Zhan arranged for his younger brother Gongsun Yue to come to Liaoxi to recruit soldiers and horses earlier, after Gongsun Yue came to Liaoxi, he recruited a small number of soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers were completely obtained by catching strong men.

But in any case, Gongsun Chan now has an armed force of 20,000 people.

At this time, Gongsun Chan also controlled Liaoxi County and Changli County behind Liaoxi County, and Changli County and Changli County of Liaoxi County were two places.

Liaoxi County is about to become the front line, and Gongsun Zan must not retreat into Changli City, so he will be absolutely passive. His rear Changli County will be controlled by the Qin army, and he will lose the land he supplies and will be defeated.

Therefore, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers were dangerous, so they took Linhai Jieshi Mountain in the northwest of Changli as their base camp and began to build a fortress, which was called Jieshi Mountain Fortress.

Gongsun Zhan captured 100,000 strong men and went to build a stone fortress.

The reason why Gongsun Chan built the fortress here is because it is the only passage.

In ancient times, the natural environment was good, but relatively speaking, the environment in which humans lived was harsh, especially for expeditionary armies, and there were too many places where it was impossible to march. Even if they were barely able to march, the heavy vehicles could not pass at all.

Therefore, Changli is indeed the necessary place for Qin Feng's eastern crusade at this moment. And more than 50 miles east of Jieshi Mountain is the famous Shanhaiguan in later generations, in later generations, Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the world, the most famous period is the end of the Ming Dynasty, is an important pass to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty into the Han land.

Why did the Manchus fight Shanhaiguan? Can't go around? It was because it was impossible to march on a large scale elsewhere.

It can be said that the Jieshi Mountain fortress established by Gongsun Chan is the Shanhaiguan that belongs to Gongsun Chan.

Jieshi Mountain, undulating and undulating, there are hundreds of strange and steep peaks of the size, its main peak Sendai is also called Hanwutai, the altitude is more than 600 meters. Gongsun Chan built a tall building on top of Sendai called Jieshi Tower. The square walls of the Jieshi Tower are built entirely along the cliffs on the four sides of the Sendai Summit. If it is completed, blocking the only road leading to the peak, the enemy will need to climb a cliff of more than 600 meters before he can attack the Jieshi Tower.

However, due to the tight construction project, Gongsun Chan could not transport the stones, so he had to mix and match the mud and wood structures. But he didn't worry about it, let alone a mix of civil and engineering, even if it was all wooden structures, he was sure that Qin Feng would not be able to attack it.

Because the sea side of Sendai is more than 600 meters, and there are 700 meters with the Jieshi Tower. When it is completed, Gongsun Chan will completely block the road up the mountain, making Jieshilou a completely enclosed fortress castle. The Qin army was seven hundred meters away from the fortress, and bows and arrows could not be shot, nor could trebuchets be thrown. And Gongsun Zhan can be condescending, shoot the attacking Qin army at will, and support his own army under the Jieshi Tower.

As for climbing 700 meters to attack the Jieshi Tower, Gongsun Chan was fully confident that he would shoot anyone in the process.

At this moment, Gongsun Chan was standing on the northern corner tower where the Jieshi Tower had been built. He looked at the people's team that was constantly transporting grain and grass into Jieshilou, and looked at the lush Changli whole territory from afar, and said: "Changli is the land of fish and rice, and now I have 300,000 grains in storage, and it will not be a problem to garrison for three or five years." ”

He was quite far-sighted and said: "Now that the four sides are fighting each other, who can stay under my city for many years, even Qin Zijin can do anything with me?" ”

Guan Jing, the military advisor on the side, thought so, he took the drawings, pointed to the east and west, and said: "Lord, there are five peaks in Jieshi Mountain, these are the ten strongholds, plus the ...... here." With his back to the sea, he didn't have to worry about the Qin army attacking from behind. In particular, this stone tower has been integrated with the mountain and has become a new mountaintop. All around are cliffs, even if Qin Feng has a million troops, there is nothing to fear. ”

The top of Sendai is like a screen, and it is steep on all sides.

Gongsun Zan heard that he went out, and when he looked down, it was a cliff with a vertical height of 700 meters, and under the cliff, he could see a team of people, smaller than ants, digging a trench for him. Gongsun Chan smiled, "Unless it's an immortal, no one wants to climb more than 200 zhang vertically to attack my Jieshi Tower." ”

Guan Jingyao pointed to the 'construction site' under the Jieshi Tower, and said proudly: "My lord, under the top of Sendai, there are ten more trenches, and the main force of our army is stationed in layers behind the trenches, and it can be attacked and defended. ”

Gongsun Zhan's Jieshi Tower will be closed in nature, first, as his hiding place, and secondly, as a firepower fortress that the troops under the mountain can rely on. But he can't station all the troops in the Jieshi Tower, then he can't get out, it's too passive. Therefore, he arranged the main force at the foot of the mountain, and dug ten trenches to defend it, so that it could be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Guan Jing glanced at the team of people who were carrying grain up the mountain, and said with admiration: "The lord hoarded grain and grass in the Jieshi Building, which is really a stroke of genius. Qin Zijin is used to sneaking up on grain and grass, so he can't sneak attack this time. And we can replenish the military quartermaster of the troops under the mountain by feeding from high places. ”

Gongsun Zhan laughed when he heard this, because of the Jieshi Mountain Fortress, he completely regained his confidence at this moment, "At the end of the year, Qin Zijin will retreat, and at that time, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the land." ”

Guan Jing saluted and said: "The lord has this Shijie Mountain fortress, and from now on he can attack and retreat and defend, and sit and watch the wind and clouds be invincible." ”

Gongsun Zhan was even more proud, and he said, "I really hope that Qin Zijin will come soon, I can't wait." ”

"Report ......."

At this time, a junior colonel rushed upstairs and said, "Lord Qi, the Qin army broke Xianbei in Xu Wushan, and Xianbei Wang Kebi was able to flee in embarrassment." ”

Gongsun Zhan's face jumped for a while, "The Xianbei people were defeated so quickly. Rao had an enmity with Qin Feng, and he couldn't help but be in awe of the Qin army's combat effectiveness, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I have the Jieshi Mountain Fortress!" Quick, pass on my order quickly, speed up the construction progress, and from today onwards, you can't rest at night, and work overtime for twelve hours a day. Be sure to complete the Jieshi Mountain Fortress for me within two days! Gongsun Zhan's last shout echoed inside and outside the mountain.

On the other hand, the Qin army side.

The Qin army's battle against the Xianbei people was completely victorious. Due to Qin Feng's excellent strategy, the losses of the Qin army were almost negligible.

"Son-in-law, well done." Saisan couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, "As soon as Na Kebi can become the King of Xianbei, he will be invincible, but when it comes to his son-in-law, he is nothing at all." Saisan was worried again: "I'm afraid that if he goes back to counterattack, the old man won't be able to stay for a long time." ”

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

Saisan and Mudon described that they were afraid that Kebi would be able to take revenge on them in the grassland, but Qin Feng knew that this was just an excuse to leave, and I was afraid that the fundamental meaning of the Xiongnu and Karasuma was to take the opportunity to annex the Xianbei grassland. However, the Xiongnu, Karasuma, and Xianbei are in the grassland, which is in line with Qin Feng's grassland strategy. The harder these three parties fight, the more conducive it will be for him to truly subdue the grassland in the future.

So after Qin Feng set up a banquet to entertain Saisang and Flatun, he sent them away early in the morning.

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