【973】Solid (II)
After this harbor, there is less bustle.
The sea breeze blew, blowing the flower flags on the other side of the Nine Shadows Country erected on the harbor fort, and the hunting sounded.
Zuo Fan took the co-workers and climbed the strong fort made of stone bricks.
Zuo Fan, who had already received a message from the fungus people and learned that the Gonggong fleet had arrived in death, had ordered his subordinates to set up a light meal on the fort, so that when the Gonggong arrived, he could eat a bite of hot soup and a good rest.
At the same time, he also ordered the sergeants to cook hot food and send it to the port to reward the sailor fleet of the co-workers.
In the middle of the turret, the sergeant had already spread out the straw mat on the spot and set up the table.
There are a few side dishes and hot soup and hot rice on the desk, the number is not much, and it is not a delicious delicacy, it is the general home-cooked side dishes in the underworld, which is not special, but it is enough for the co-workers to eat and drink.
And there is no wine, because this is an important place in the barracks, not to mention, whether it is Gonggong or Zuo Fan, they are still on duty.
The officers and soldiers and officials of the Nine Shadows Country are not allowed to drink alcohol during their duty as an iron rule.
In the early years, an officer drank heavily while on duty, and Xiao Shizhu pushed out the beheading without thinking, which gave the officers and soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom a lesson that is still fresh in their memories.
Zuo Fan's subordinates had no choice but to replace the drinks with hot tea.
Zuo Fan and the co-workers sat down cross-legged on the straw mat, while the co-workers opposite him rolled up their waist and coiled them in a circle.
The co-workers who had just taken their seats looked around again and saw the bright and dark sentries around the fort, the bright and dark forts interspersed with each other, and the guards and horns could cover each other, and they admired Zuo Fan on the opposite side.
Zuo Fan's defense seems to have obtained the true biography of Xiao Shizhu, there is darkness in the light, and there is light in the dark. The light and dark are crossed, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack up and down the fort.
What's interesting is that there are a few hidden forts, and the sergeants in the Nine Shadows Country basically can't see it. After the completion of these bunkers, they were buried with sand, making them look like barren mountains from the sea, and they were more hidden.
It may not be long before this place becomes a new impregnable sea fortress, comparable to the sea islands of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms, such as Shuoyue Island, Black Dragon Island, Daoshan Island and Sanxing Island.
And Zuo Fan's ability to govern the army has also been passed on by Xiao Shizhu. The sergeants under his rule were strictly disciplined, and none of the defenders on this fort had left what they should have done, looked at or were curious about working with Zuo Fan.
Knowing people and making good use of them is really Xiao Shizhu's specialty.
"I have brought the Lord's Codex, and I ask you that if there are even building materials and good wood on the island, you can hand them over to the surrounding sea in a few days, and the islands that will be developed. Gonggong retracted his gaze, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Zuo Fan opposite.
What was contained inside was Xiao Shizhu's handwritten letter.
In the Nine Shadows Kingdom, such a letter is Xiao Shizhu's holy decree.
So Zuo Fan didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly sat up straight, stretched out his hands, and respectfully took the codex.
Then after signaling the co-workers to eat first, he tore open the envelope and took out the letter in it, and looked at it.
The content of the letter is exactly the same as what Gonggong said, and the jade seal of Xiao Shizhu is printed at the place where the payment is made, which is not fake.
After looking at it, Zuo Fan put away the letter and nodded in response: "There are a lot of good trees, which can be distributed to other places." But building materials are not enough now. I'll take a look. ”。
After that, he also picked up his own dishes and chopsticks and accompanied them to eat.
"By the way, this time I also brought you a lot of falling star cannons, which were wholesaled by the lord and ** himself. Swallowing the food chewed in his mouth, Gonggong suggested to Zuo Fan again: "I estimate that if you start a war with the Beiyin Dynasty in the future, the lord will want you to be the vanguard and seize the calf pass." General Zuo might as well take precautions and prepare for this in advance, so as not to be in a hurry at that time. ”。
Zuo Fan, who nodded a few times, opened his mouth when the Gonggong's voice landed, and said thoughtfully: "I also guessed so; in fact, even if the Beiyin Dynasty temporarily lets go of our country, it will not let go of my country forever." Sooner or later, there will be a battle to the death between the two sides, and I will prepare in advance. ”。
After that, he picked up the soup spoon, put away the solemn color on his face, and after serving a bowl of soup to the co-workers opposite, he changed the topic and said: "The governor will taste the craftsmanship of the men in our army; ”。
Gonggong smiled, took the soup bowl handed by Zuo Fan, and nodded in response.
Anyway, the task of his trip was basically completed, and all that remained was to wait for the sergeants to unload the supplies from the ship, check them, sign and sign them, and simply stop talking about official business and savor the thick soup in their hands......
The torrential rain is still falling in Dongyingzhou, and the sky seems to be broken in most areas. Dark clouds overhead, torrential rain.
The raindrops of soybeans are endless, falling from the sky with the wind.
The rain and mist on the ground rose and overflowed with yin qi, and the thin clouds and mist in the rain curtain spread to all sides.
Wherever there is rain, this is the case in many Dongyingzhou areas.
Shrouded in rain and mist, Mt. Furiya is no exception.
The majestic mountains that originally stood at the mouth of the confluence of the three rivers can only vaguely see the outline of a mountain in the wind and rain at this moment.
On the top of the mountain, it is surrounded by rain and mist, and it is difficult to see the true face.
After a day's rest, the goddess of Gusha, who marched in the rain and arrived from other places in only one day, entered the secret passage in the mountains under the leadership of Julong and Dayi, and visited the mountain fortifications that had only been completed for three days until today.
The engineering ability of the Nine Shadows Country is not blown, and under the propaganda of the country's difficulties and responsibilities and sincere unity, most of the ghost people of the Nine Shadows Country have long been united and united. When building the fortifications of Mount Qiangyi, they worked together as one and overcame difficulties one by one. In less than a month, the entire belly of the mountain was basically hollowed out by the craftsmen of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and built into a solid mountain belly fortification.
The military and civilians of the Nine Shadows Kingdom worked together, united as one, and quietly completed a huge project in the Fox Mountain with the help of the cover of the rainy day.
Moreover, to complete this huge project, the Nine Shadows Kingdom only used less than 100,000 soldiers and craftsmen, and there were no casualties, not even a single tired ghost.
It's a pity that this project is absolutely secret, and there are not too many ghosts in the Nine Ghost Kingdoms, let alone other ghost countries; in the entire Dongying Continent, no one knows that the earth-shaking changes have taken place in this Fox Mountain.
Otherwise, if this matter spreads, it will be enough to shock the entire underworld. Many ghost kingdoms, perhaps including the Northern Yin Dynasty with deep roots, will also be shocked by the move of the Nine Ghost Kingdoms.
Moreover, the project in the mountain is not only extremely fast to build, but also of good quality, and it is by no means a tofu scum project. Every inch of the walls, every inch of the floor, every beam and pillar is of excellent quality.
The workmanship is fine, there is no cutting corners, and the goddess who walks in the dark passage smacks her tongue.
I can't believe that such a large project was completed in less than a month.
Julong and Dayi didn't know what method they used, and they built the fortifications in the mountains into a group of dark forts built by the mountains and meandering. As long as they are facing the north, northeast, and northwest, the mountain fortifications are not exposed to the ground.
Between the grass, trees and rocks, only the gun holes appeared, and they could not be seen until they got closer.
As for the half-exposed bunker or something, Julong also managed to cover it. Not only was it filled with earth and stones, disguised as a mountain, but also after brainstorming and working together, some flowers and plants were planted on the top of the dark castle, and stones were built on both sides of the middle and upper trees to camouflage. If you don't get close, you really can't see that there is a bunker hidden under the grass, trees, soil and rocks.
This dense woods, between the strange rocks, the bunkers composed of a group of hidden forts are all arranged on the hillside in the shape of a horseshoe, according to the danger and guard, most of the muzzles and muzzles face the river, facing the territory of the Qingqiu Fox Country across the river.
Knowing what she was doing here, the goddess had seen a lot of hidden castles, and the cannons of the Nine Shadows Kingdom had already been set up. From the Poison Fire God Cannon to the Sky Thunder Cannon, to the Falling Star Cannon and all kinds of fire guns in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there is everything.
A lot of falling star cannons have been aimed at the Qingqiu Fox State military camp and pass behind the jungle on the other side of the river.
Once the war starts, this side can beat those targeted Qingqiu Fox State military camps and passes into powder in a quarter of an hour.
As far as the Falling Star Cannon of the Nine Shadows Country is concerned, its range is long and powerful, and even the firing speed is fast, it can definitely hit the Qingqiu Fox Country military camp and pass far away from the riverbank, and it is caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
In addition, it is also equipped with a lot of new gravel cannons, which is really both offensive and defensive, but can be attacked from a distance and can be defended closely, so that it is solid.
Moreover, Julong also used a secret passage to connect these dark castle groups in the belly of the mountain.
In addition to the guns and artillery of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms, it has been developed to the point where they can be disassembled and assembled, and the sergeants stationed in it can disassemble most of the firearms in the hidden forts in various places, transport them to a single point, and then assemble them to concentrate firepower to ensure that the enemy can't even cross the river.
At the same time, Julong placed all the ammunition depots and grain depots, as well as the wells in the belly of the mountain, in the depths of the mountain, even if the fighting was in full swing outside, there would be no shortage of supplies, and there would be no such thing as being cut off from food and grass.
In addition, the mountain is located in the middle of Dongyingzhou, which is an important place to attack the back area of Dongyingzhou in the north, almost surrounded by water on three sides, relying on the three rivers to dominate the central part of Dongyingzhou. Once this place becomes impregnable and is occupied by the Nine Shadows Army, it will be much easier to attack north in the future.
The goddess continued to follow Julong and Dayi, walking and watching in the dark passage inlaid with luminous beads and not dark. After walking for a long time, I came to a place not far from the top of the mountain.
The two ghosts of Julong Dayi brought the goddess into a spacious and high-roofed stone room next to the dark passage.
Under the vaulted dome, the stone chamber is spacious, and ten thunder carts are neatly parked inside. It was divided into two rows of five cars each.
Facing it was a smooth rock wall.
Julong swayed the snake's tail under his waist, walked to the edge of this tall rock wall, followed the goddess, and saw the straight slit between the two sides of the rock wall and the ground.
At this moment, Ju Long pointed to the iron handle on the stone pillar beside him, and said to her: "This point to the rock wall has already turned the mechanism, pull this handle to touch the mechanism, and the entire rock wall will rise." Outside, there is an open field in the mountains, and the thunder carts inside can take off here. ”。
This stone chamber is in the south of the mountain range, and it does not directly face the Qingqiu Fox Country, so even if the flying thunder car is dispatched, it will not be detected by the enemy, but it can fly out of the stone chamber in the mountain smoothly, bypassing the top of the mountain to catch the enemy by surprise.
Not only that, but the goddess also thought that if the enemy detoured across the river and cut off his back road, the flying thunder car could also surprise out from here and catch the enemy by surprise.
Such a huge and cumbersome building complex made the goddess of Gushu breathtaking again.
She looked around in the stone room, and didn't feel anything: "Looking at the huge project of building the city so quickly, I remember what the lord said to us when I was still in Dongyizhou-the hearts of the people are united, and Mount Tai moves." ”。
"Yes, this time is really enough to shock us and the world, not only this project, but our ghost country has done it together. Julong didn't squeak, and Dayi also sighed with a thousand emotions in his chest, and said: "The guarantee of smooth material transfer, and the soldiers and civilians who are here to construct again, everyone is doing their best to do what they should do, and they can work together to build such an impregnable pass fortress in such a short construction period." ”。
"This kind of thing is not known in the world, but only the Lord in the underworld can do it, and he can always unite us and do everything in his power to make us work together. Julong waited until Dayi finished sighing, and then said: "This is also one of the reasons why my clansmen, my father and I are willing to follow the lord all the time." ”。
"Anyway, in the future, this impregnable fortress will be handed over to General Gu Arch to garrison. At this time, Dayi walked out of the stone room with Julong and the goddess of Gu She, and said, "You have commanded 50,000 soldiers, and you can completely garrison them." Most of the bunkers here can be held by two or three ghost soldiers and a cannon. It's all in a dangerous place, and it's condescending. If the enemy wants to cross the river from here, he is looking for death. ”。
"What if the enemy doesn't cross the river from this area and attack?" When she came to the door, the goddess suddenly stood outside the door and stopped taking a step forward.
Overhead, the luminous beads on the stone chamber door emitted a soft glow, illuminating the surroundings. also illuminates the face of the goddess, and you can see any expression clearly.
At this moment, the goddess had already tightened her brows, and her face was confused.
She is a veteran general who has been on the battlefield, and knows that whether it is a city or a pass, or a fortress, etc., are dead things, and these fortifications without long legs will not walk or run.
If they are in one place, they will always stay in one place.
Even if it's impregnable, what can it be?
It is inevitable that the enemy will be overwhelmed by the impregnability of this place, but they can also choose to bypass and avoid these fortifications and enter the large rear behind them.
For this reason, when the goddess of Gu She, who had recovered from her sighs, thought of this, she couldn't help but feel worried and worried.
In the unlikely event that the rear of this mountain falls, even if the mountain is impregnable, once it runs out of ammunition and food, it will no longer be impregnable.
