Chapter 881: Building a City in the Mountain

"Through the efforts of General Xiahou's empty cavalry for many days, we have preliminarily determined a route, this route may pass through the territory of the four-headed king beast, and in addition, we need to pass through more than a dozen valleys along the way, most of these valleys are entrenched by beasts! We only have a small part of the detailed information now!"

Liang Hongyu poured tea while looking at the detailed map of the 100,000 mountains on the table in recent days, obviously this 100,000 mountains are not a soft persimmon, you can knead it at will, just when it flies through the air, there are four royal beast breaths, and who can guarantee that there will be no more.

Moreover, the most difficult thing to deal with in the 100,000 mountains is not the king beast, but countless beast groups, the threat of these beast groups is far better than that of the king beasts, and even if the road is cleared, there will be new beast groups migrating in the future, that is to say, to open up a road in the 100,000 mountains, you have to make long-term plans.

The 100,000 Mountains have always been a forbidden land for human beings, except for a few barbarian tribes who will struggle hard in the mountains, this is almost a paradise for Warcraft, and the King Beasts dare not say that there are as many as cows, but there is another King Beast every three or five hundred miles, and there are more of those mid-level and high-level Warcraft beasts, if they don't do it well, they may break out into the beast tide, and this is a huge test for the current passage through the 100,000 Mountains.

Leng Zhuo only glanced at the map a few more times, although this map marked the approximate route, but there were so many mountains and mountains, and there were rivers during the period, and most of these mountains and rivers had no names, so it looked very chaotic.

"Let's go to the beginning of the tunnel to have a look!" Leng Zhuo plans to stay here for the next period of time, if this passage through the 100,000 mountains is opened, it is destined to be recorded in the history books, this will be a miracle project like the Great Wall, as an architect who crosses, Leng Zhuo is very interested in the construction of this tunnel.

Although there are no large machines in this other world, there are powerful magical beasts to replace them, and the pangolin team led by the Golden Pangolin King is the best hole punching master, which is dozens of times more efficient than the machine.

Because of the idea of tunneling forward, the previous way of exploring in the mountains is naturally not used, and some mountains that had to be bypassed before will now be directly opened, so everything goes back to the starting point.

There was only one dirt road from Ziyang City to the west in the past, when the weather was hot and dry, this road was dusty, and when it rained, it would become a mire like a swamp, making it difficult for people to walk an inch, but now this passage has been widened several times, paved with loess to carry solidly, and the carriage is much faster.

And the closer to the mountain, the loess pavement has also become a flat stone pavement, and this stone road is constantly expanding towards Ziyang County, most of these stones are directly opened from the mountain, transported out, after polishing, it becomes the masonry on the pavement.

At the foot of the mountain, a huge tent area stretched for twenty or thirty miles.

"Now there are more than 80,000 elite soldiers from the major legions stationed here, because of the secrecy of this tunnel project, we can't levy conscription on a large scale, so a lot of hard work is done by soldiers, but carrying stones is now a kind of physical training!"

"And every time I go back, it will be recorded, which is equivalent to meritorious service, not only can it be counted as meritorious service for promotion, but it will also be settled once a month, and a certain amount of salary will be paid, so that the soldiers in the army do not have much grievance, but are quite positive every day!"

"Who came up with this method, it's very smart!" Leng Zhuo said with certainty, this is not the republic where he is located, those who are soldiers have to fight floods, natural disasters, and rush to the front line, and they still build roads, in short, they have to do things like soldiers, and things that are not things like soldiers have to be done.

"Who else can there be, of course a few of us came up with it!" In Ziyang County, in addition to Liang Hongyu, Long Wushuang, Bai Shuang, as well as Li Ya'er, and Nanfeng Ling's daughters are all there, because they temporarily maintain restraint on Xiyan and Songling, so there are almost no major battles in the legions of Chuzhou, and the development of 100,000 mountains has undoubtedly become the most important place, which can not only train soldiers, but also hunt Warcraft to make money, but there are many benefits.

"I'll reward you when I get back!"

Passing through the camp tent area, the generals in the camp came out to greet him, Leng Zhuo saw them one by one, and then he came to the foot of a big mountain with a large number of people, which is the tunnel, and on the majestic mountain, there is a huge cave entrance, and standing at the mouth of the cave, you can see countless torches winding forward and leading into the cave.

"Young master, this mountain in front of us has been dug up to the opposite side by the pangolin brigade, and now the interior is being widened and expanded, according to our ideas, a city will be built inside the mountain of this mountain, and a city wall will be built outside the entrance of this cave, and a gate will be built!"

Leng Zhuo snorted, and stepped into the cave, the entrance of the cave was very wide, ten zhang wide on the left and right, and as high as five or six zhang, this tunnel was still very brisk even if eight big carriages ran side by side.

"If you get through the mountain, you will encounter a lot of trouble, and these are all solved?"

"At the beginning, there were some problems, such as the further you go into the mountain, the less the air circulates, you will be dizzy inside, and even faint, and even the torches can't be lit, in order to cope with this, we have set up some rune wind arrays in the mountain, so that the outside air can flow in!"

"In addition to this, that is, when the mountain is expanded, it is inevitable that there will be some places that are not stable, and there will be small areas of landslides, which will hurt more than a dozen people, so in addition to the entrance, the road is relatively wide, and inside, there will be a fork in the tunnel, and the two passages will lead to the area in the belly of the mountain that will be built, the two tunnels are no more than two zhang wide, and the height is the same, and the interval between the two tunnels is about seven or eight zhang wide, so that one in and one out, it will not be chaotic!"

Leng Zhuo smiled, it seems that many things are self-taught, these two lanes, one-way streets have been made, and there are gusts of wind to promote air circulation, so you won't worry about the lack of gas circulation in the cave, resulting in poisoning, lack of oxygen, and so on.

All the way into the belly of the mountain, a space that has been opened to tens of thousands of square meters is densely filled with people, and the surrounding firelight will illuminate here.

But Leng Zhuo looked at the cave, but his eyes lit up, below, there were pangolins constantly decomposing pieces of boulders from the mountain, expanding the cave, and some warriors regarded these large rocks as opponents, chopping them, and chopping the boulders into rectangular strips.

Cultivation and construction are organically combined, so that the sword qi and spiritual skills in this cave are gorgeous, seeing this scene, Leng Zhuo is heart is rippling for a while, if this tunnel is opened, it is estimated that these warriors and spirit masters under his command will have a lot of improvement.

What made Leng Zhuo even more excited was that when he saw this cave, Leng Zhuo quickly appeared in his mind the outline of a city in the mountains, as the initial point of the entire tunnel, this place is destined to be crowded with people in the future, and this place will be of great strategic value, after all, this is a shortcut to Shuzhou, and the garrison is a must.

To be able to accommodate 100,000 people, to have a bazaar for large transactions, to have a solid fortress defense, and many other things, Leng Zhuo's brain was spinning rapidly, not only to have these city functions, as the first mountain city in the Tianfeng Continent, it also had its magnificent style, not such a crude cave.

"Let's go back!" Leng Zhuo almost couldn't wait to draw this new mountain city, and a military general who followed him said, and quickly ran towards the outside of the cave, all the way back to the camp outside, and directly into a camp tent.

Leng Zhuo did not use pen and ink to paint, but adopted a more three-dimensional way, asking Liang Hongyu to prepare some giant trees to carry into the tent, Leng Zhuo sat directly cross-legged, released his spiritual power, turned into a golden carving knife, and began to depict according to the general appearance in his mind.

The carving knives formed by countless spiritual powers cut on these giant trees, either opening and closing, or fine processing, Leng Zhuo was immersed in the pleasure of depicting architecture, and let time pass, but he didn't feel it at all.

"What do you say the young master is doing these days, there are more than 300 giant trees sent in, and the wood chips that are swept out every day are almost piled up into a small mountain!"

"You ask me, how do I know, I still want to know, but I can feel the horror of the young master's spiritual power, and the surrounding area of two hundred meters is almost shrouded in that powerful spiritual force field!"

"By the way, General Li and the others have been in the mountain for three days, haven't they come back yet?" Meng Yi asked.

"Those madmen, don't worry about them, although they haven't come back, but General Xiahou's air cavalry has been busy enough in the past two days, and a large number of demonic beast corpses are transported back every day, tsk, all of them were hammered to death with brute force, and the bones and internal organs are all broken like scum, fortunately, the fur, the magic core, and some usable muscles and bones can still be left! And they are all in good condition, let them continue to go crazy, let's go back and sell these to those merchants, and we can have a lot of military expenses into our pockets!"

"Yes, although we have also organized a hunting team, the efficiency really can't be compared with these people, anyway, the young people will stay here for a few days, so let these people earn us a little more!"

"Keep an eye on it, it's a hundred thousand mountains here, who knows if there will be any accidents!"

"Well, I will contact General Xiahou and ask them to pay attention, and the hunting area will also be arranged near this tunnel as much as possible, so that there will be no delay!"
