Chapter 827: The City of the White Tiger

In the ups and downs of the mountains, a huge black majestic city rises from the ground, and from a distance, it looks like a black rock wall, reaching into the sky!

This is Zhou Yue's White Tiger City! He had no idea that this black city could be built so spectacularly!

At this moment, he came all the way with the Praetorian Guard Battalion, and fifty miles away, he saw this unfinished black city, not only him, but also others, all of whom were shocked and inexplicable!

"The city of the white tiger was not built on the ruins of the black city of Chaoyang, but moved to the east for fifteen miles, relying on the mountain of Phoenix Mountain to build, a total of four parts, inside, outside, ring, what we see now, should be the outer wall of the main defense system of the entire White Tiger City, according to the original design, the highest place of the outer city wall, is a hundred meters high, and only three gates are set up, communication inside and outside, in addition, the outer side of the city wall, most of the mountain is cut into a cliff, and blocked with boulders, so, If the enemy does attack under the outer wall, he will first have to face a height of no less than 150 meters. WWW.

At this time, Zhang Quan, the assassin accompanying Zhou Yue, introduced with a smile that he had spent some time in the White Tiger City before, so he knew the general situation very well.

"150 meters tall?"

Zhou Yue took a slight breath, such a height is indeed amazing, no wonder it can be seen clearly from fifty miles away, and this height is indeed very defensive, because in this black city world, because the personal force is comparable to superman, any ordinary soldier, jumping twenty or thirty meters high, it is simply playing, like Zhou Yue, a legendary, with the momentum of running, jumping up a hundred meters at once, that is not a problem.

Therefore, in the defense of the city wall of the black city, the city wall less than 100 meters high, when attacking the city, there is no need for a ladder or anything, most of the soldiers, with the help of bounce or support, can kill the top of the city wall in a short time.

But if it is a 150-meter-high wall, it can be very effective in dealing with this problem, even if the enemy soldiers can still jump up without ladders, but at least there will be a delay of five or six seconds, and in this time, enough time for the guards on the city wall to shoot dozens of feathered arrows and shoot most of the siege soldiers into hedgehogs.

"What's going on with that outer ring?" Zhou Yue nodded and asked again.

"Oh, this is the design added by the military division later, because since the city of the white tiger will be used as the royal city of our princes, then, we should not only consider the military defense, but also ensure that this black city will become the economic and commercial center of our princes' forces, after all, there is no prosperous business, and this black city cannot continue to upgrade, but because the city of the white tiger was built at the beginning, it was to defend against the attack of the Mongol army, therefore, the three entrances and exits of the outer city wall designed are difficult to cope with the exchange of commerce, so, It is necessary to demarcate a huge area in the outer city as a commercial area and a residential area, which is also known as the outer ring area. Of course, so far, this outer ring area is only leveling the land, and has not yet officially started, because we must first defeat the eastward advance of the Mongol army and gain a firm foothold before we can develop business in the White Tiger City, in addition, Cai Junshi is also said to be preparing to set up two huge military camps on both sides of Phoenix Mountain to defend the White Tiger City, if Brother Zhou, you decide to form a Praetorian Guard Legion, this should be right. ”

Zhang Quan said in the end, he couldn't help but laugh, he is very clear about his position in Zhou Yue's core team, although he is a legendary assassin, but he is not trusted, whether it is He Qingming's Tsing Yi Legion or Ma Yunmeng's Black Cloth Legion, there is no place for him, and if he wants to do something, if he wants to become Zhou Yue's core subordinate, he has to work hard, and he also hopes in his heart that he can also become the lord of a city in the future, and live a city lord addiction.

Therefore, Zhang Quan does not exclude starting from a small soldier of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, because he knows very well that the Praetorian Guard Battalion will definitely be expanded, no matter how much Zhou Yue trusts He Qingming and Ma Yunmeng, but after all, it belongs to the peripheral legion, and only the Praetorian Guard Legion personally controlled by Zhou Yue himself is the real lineage, which can be seen from the composition of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, Wang Huang, Zhao Xiaoer, Liang Xiaoxue, Qiao Silin, Xin Huo, etc., are all the cores outside the Shantou faction.

Even Zhang Quan guessed maliciously in his heart that Zhou Yue had begun to learn political checks and balances, and in this case, he was in the Praetorian Guard camp, especially in the next war with the Mongol army, it was the turning point of his Zhang Quan's rise to the top, as long as he made enough contributions, then once the Praetorian Guard Legion was established in the future, he would have to get a position as a deputy commander.

Zhou Yue didn't say anything about the private goods that Zhang Quan mixed with in his words, but just continued to ask: "What about the inner city, the middle city, and the outer city?" ”

"Well, that's right, because the entire White Tiger City is built on the mountain, so all the hills are not deliberately bulldozed, but according to the mountain, the three areas are set, the current situation is that the inner city is the highest place on the top of Phoenix Mountain, about 800 acres of land has been set aside, and the middle city is set up with the City Lord's Mansion as the center, mainly as the residence of the core layer, and the City Lord's Mansion has only been completed at present. Neither of these areas is large, except for the third, the outer city, which is the largest, and includes training grounds, workshops, armor workshops, barracks, warehouse reserves, and a large amount of open space, which I estimate will not be until the Mongols have to decide on the construction plan. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yue didn't ask again, because Zhang Quan should know so much, and if he wanted more detailed information, he could only ask Cai Yan, but when he thought of Cai Yan, his heart was also hot, and he couldn't help but speed up and run away.

And the closer you get to the city of the white tiger, the more intense the sense of depression brought by the huge city wall, this kind of majestic city wall, it is estimated that it is only possible to complete it in the black city world, because even in modern society, there will be no need for such a perverted city wall, as for the real ancient times, it is completely lacking in this ability, not to mention, just this kind of big project that envelops the entire mountain, it will take at least decades, or even hundreds of years to complete.

But in this black city world, it has only been less than two months from the initial construction to this moment.

The reason why this is so, one of the most critical reasons is the city building order, this city building order is simply a treasure, as long as there is enough gold, all piled up, you can form a huge city wall outline in a short time, in the designated place, and this also has the advantage, that is, the city wall is numerous, not affected by geology at all, that is to say, what landslides, mudslides, underground undercurrents, etc., do not need to be considered, as long as it is within the allowable range of the black city world, even if the bottom of the city wall is a mud swamp, It is also possible to build a wall up to a height of several hundred meters without collapsing.

Of course, the role of the city building order is to only be responsible for the city wall, the city lord's mansion and the main road, and everything else is not within the scope, but even so, it is estimated that this huge outer city wall alone will cost at least tens of millions of gold.

At this time, inside and outside the White Tiger City, there were also coolies and workers responsible for the construction, in order to build the White Tiger City, Zhou Yue and they got nearly 200,000 civilians from Duan Hong and Wang Zeng, and it was precisely because of this that He Qingming and Ma Yunmeng were able to take Shenyang Heicheng and Changchun Heicheng very smoothly.

And now, these 200,000 civilians are about to become the first residents of the White Tiger City.

In addition to these 200,000 modern people, there are nearly 100,000 ancient coolies, of which 60,000 were requisitioned from the Bohai State Da Zuorong, which is the advantage of having vassal princes.

In this dense crowd of laborers, a bluestone avenue with a width of 100 meters leads straight to the tall city wall in the distance, where is a city gate entrance about 50 meters high and 100 meters wide, and on both sides of this city gate, about 1,500 meters away, there are two slightly smaller city gates, this is the entrance and exit of the entire White Tiger City to the outside world, if this city gate is closed, even Zhou Yue can feel the majesty of the kind of one man who cannot be opened!

Presumably, such a majestic city is enough for any enemy to hit his head and bleed here.

At this time, the soldiers who were supervising the work outside had already discovered Zhou Yue, and on the one hand, they came to salute, and on the other hand, they quickly spread it to the city, but at this time, Zhou Yue didn't have the heart to turn around outside, he took the lead, and went straight to the city gate, after passing through the full one hundred and fifty meters long, tunnel-like city gate hole, before he could enjoy the scenery in the city, he saw Liang Xiaoxue in the distance coming quickly, and at the same time shouted with a panicked face: "Don't come in, don't come in!" Stop it! ”

Liang Xiaoxue's shout made Zhou Yue stunned, could it be that there were any assassins in this city?

And Wang Huang and Zhao Xiaoer, who were behind Zhou Yue, jumped off their horses in an instant, and stopped in front of Zhou Yue's horse with a huge shield, as for Zhang Quan, he quickly entered a stealth state, and the rest of the members of the Praetorian Guard Battalion were also unsheathed with long knives, bows and arrows wound, and quickly centered on Zhou Yue to form a defensive array.

In just two seconds, Liang Xiaoxue fell in front, looking at Zhou Yue and the other guards who were like great enemies with an angry and depressed expression, and stomped his feet and said: "Oh, it's late, Brother Zhou, you go back, this city has not been built yet, you can't come in!" Something big is going to happen! ”

"Uh, what's going on? So strict zhòng? Zhou Yue looked at Liang Xiaoxue funny, and then jumped off the war horse, but he had just been down-to-earth, and his face suddenly changed several times, and now he finally understood why Liang Xiaoxue was so anxious not to let him enter the city, because, when he entered the city, it was equivalent to he, a prince, who was already receiving this princely city, and the impact caused by it was a series of things!
