322 It's like a world away
Gao Xin looked at the tall city in front of him from a distance, and he couldn't recognize it at all as the Thousand Mountains City he had come to a few months ago.
The last time I came here was autumn, and at that time, the Thousand Hills Castle was only a three-meter-high wall.
It's a small city that's a little better than Dockfort, but now it's twice as tall as it used to be.
And at the moment, it seems that the wall is not yet complete.
This can be seen from the foundations that extend from both sides of the wall and in front of it, as well as the building materials that are constantly transported to the top of the wall.
However, the way in which those people transported building materials up the walls was also particularly interesting.
On top of the city wall, there is a square iron cabinet, which the people will slowly lower under the city wall with a pulley.
The laborers under the city walls put all kinds of stones, bricks, and timber into the cabinets.
The man above is driving several strong oxen, pulling a winch.
In this way, the iron cabinet, under the force of the pulley block, was slowly hoisted under the city wall to the city wall.
It can be said that this way of transporting materials is very novel, and Gao Xin, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it.
This must be the work of the Yang brother again, right?
This huge change even made him suddenly feel like he was in a different world!
When he thought of the quarrel between the two some time ago, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The old man is right, he blames himself for being too young and not being able to calm down, and as a result, the situation is ruined.
As a result, now, I have to beg people again.
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Xin felt sad again, but at this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him.
The guards around him hurriedly surrounded him in the middle and stood on guard.
And then he saw that two cavalry squads had rushed out from their left and right sides.
In a few moments the cavalry rushed to their front, and he looked at them carefully.
I saw that they were all riding tall horses, and they were wearing a kind of black armor that they had never seen before.
You must know that horses at this time are the time of lack of food and clothing, and horses will generally be very thin at this time.
Those who don't move heavy loads, but at this moment, the horses under the crotches of these knights are fat and strong, and they seem to be eating very well.
And these knights are also fully armored, and these knights can be said to be armed to the teeth.
Not to mention, they were all dressed in armor, and they still carried long knives around their waists, and there were longbows and quivers and quivers around the necks in front of the horses.
There are also two iron bones, each hanging from the horse's neck.
It can be said that these knights are armed to the teeth!
But the horses under their crotches, carrying so many heavy loads, can still walk like flying.
It can be seen that after this Thousand Mountain City fell into the hands of the Yang brothers, their horse breeding technology has also made rapid progress.
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Xin's heart couldn't help but feel a sour water again.
These cavalrymen must be the sentinels they sent, right? It looks like it's really elite!
Gao Xin was still sighing in his heart, and at this time, those cavalry were already surrounding their group.
Seeing that they had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, those sentries also quietly loosened their mouths of crossbow arrows in their hands.
"Who's coming?"
The little leader who led the team came to Gao Xin and his party and asked loudly.
"I am the high letter of Tieshan City, and I have come to visit Yang Yinuan, the lord of Thousand Mountains City."
"When you go back, just tell the city lord that his brother Gao has arrived!"
Gao Xin shouted loudly to the sentinels, and the sentinels looked like strongmen and tribesmen.
I haven't heard much of Gaoxin's name, and when I saw that the other party actually opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he was a brother to the city lord.
The sentry didn't dare to despise them at this time, but let the others surround these people.
Then he hurried back to report the news.
About half an hour later, a group of people galloped from the direction of Thousand Mountain City.
However, what made Gao Xin a little disappointed was that the person who came over was not Yang Yinuan, but the personal guard he sent.
He followed the guard named Hailan Cha, and the group galloped straight to Qianshan City.
After riding for about fifteen minutes, I arrived at the foot of Qianshan City.
Before, when I was far away, I felt that this city wall was already very tall.
But at this moment, when he came to the front of the new city at close range, a trace of despair could not help but rise in his high confidence.
It's over, it seems that they really won't be able to recover this Thousand Mountain City in the future......
Not only was the city wall twice as tall as before, but two bastions stretched forward from both sides of the gate.
When he passed through the middle of the two fortresses and came to the city gate, although he was only ten meters away, it still brought Gao Xin an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Because it was broad daylight, the gates of the city were wide open, and they seemed to be very confident.
And entering the city wall, Gao Xin was also taken aback.
In his memory, this Thousand Mountain City is actually just the pass, with such a low city wall.
Behind the city walls, there is a cluttered residential area.
And this time, the layout is still the same as before.
It's just that this residential area has expanded a lot more than before.
Behind the original residential area, there seem to be a lot of newly built tents.
The biggest difference between these residential areas and the previous ones is that they are much cleaner and tidier than before.
Of course, there are also uncomfortable places, that is, there are basically no too good roads.
The pavement between these blocks has basically been turned over.
And under the original pavement, deep trenches were dug out.
When people travel, they can only rely on the temporary wooden bridges built on these trenches.
Seeing such a scene, Gao Xin was also very puzzled.
Why did Yang Yinuan do this, and what did he do by cutting all these roads?
How did he know that this was a municipal project that Yang Yinuan and Grande had thought about a long time ago?
Whether a city is good enough or not is not reflected on the surface that he can see.
It's more of an invisible underground, and they uphold the idea that in the future, many pipelines will go underground.
Rather than waiting for the city to be built in the future, it is better to build the underground pipes before the city is built.
Just caught so many prisoners, and they can't be allowed to eat and not work every day.
So these jobs were arranged for them.
It's just that outsiders like Gaoxin don't quite understand, so they are confused.
Soon walked out of this residential area, Gao Xin was even more emotional.
Although these uneven ravines make the road very difficult to walk, even so, Gao Xin, who walked around the new city, was very emotional...
