Chapter 1389 I'm afraid this city wall will take more than a month to complete (second update)

Chapter 1398

The left and right Pishi armies are mainly cavalry, while the north and south Pishi troops are mainly infantry. It is a well-trained and battle-tested generation.

It can be said that the Pishi Army is now definitely the most elite among the million-strong divisions of the Northern Liao Dynasty, just like the imperial squads of the Song Dynasty.

The emperor of Bei Liao sent them here, which represented Bei Liao's determination and will to regain the Liaodong Peninsula.When I thought about it, in addition to the [-] elite Western Army troops under my command, there were only [-] miscellaneous soldiers who had just been integrated in the previous period.

The rest are nearly 2 craftsmen who are working hard on the land of Liaodong to build the new Liaodong Peninsula.As for the Jiaodong Navy of the Great Song Dynasty, although there were more than 3 to nearly [-] people, there were also naval forces in Liao State, so they were eyeing it.

During this period of time, the navy of the Liao Kingdom gathered a large number of Bohai fishing boats from all directions to Chenzhou, for what, it seemed that they were preparing for the war.

In a short while, those generals and academies who were training soldiers in the barracks came galloping one after another, and rushed to the Chinese army camp located not far from the wharf.

When he heard that [-] Pishi troops had quietly lurked in the southwest of Chenzhou, like a wild beast waiting to be released, and would pounce at any time, the expressions on General Yiqian's face also became ugly.

"Commander, General Feng is willing to go to Ningzhou to set up defenses to stop the Liao army." At this time, a Western Army general came out proudly and said loudly.

Zhong Shidao shook his head decisively and rejected the general's proposal. "No need, let you all come. Firstly, I am here to announce this news. Secondly, I want to tell you that you must intensify the training of the army and do not slack off."

"As for the garrisons and projects in Ningzhou and Zhenhai Prefecture, they all stopped, and the soldiers were asked to lead the craftsmen to withdraw to Tailian immediately. The area north of the northern city wall of Dalian will be abandoned first."

"Marshal, how is this possible? How could we abandon the Liaodong Peninsula so lightly that we had so hard to get from the female straight man?" Another general stood up and raised objections.

Master Zhong stroked his long beard and smiled lightly. "Generals, I agree with your desire to fight, but don't forget, the opponent is the most elite Pishi army in the Northern Liao Dynasty, and it is still twice as powerful as our army. .”

"This retreat is not because I am afraid of the enemy and want to withdraw from Liaodong, but I just want to squeeze our strength into a fist. On the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, with the help of our Song Dynasty, The solid city wall built by the civilian craftsmen's hard work for more than a month has turned this place into a nightmare for the Northern Liao Pishi troops."

After hearing what Zhong Shidao said, the generals of the Western Army stopped talking. Soon, the messenger left the Chinese army tent where Zhong Shidao was, and ran towards the north.

A quarter of an hour later, all the generals left the Chinese army camp one after another and rushed back to their respective camps. From now on, do you dare to slack off in the slightest, and strive to let those miscellaneous soldiers train to look like themselves earlier, at least in the future? In the battle, you can also contribute your strength.

In addition, Zhong Shidao sent people to board the clippers to contact the Jiaodong Navy that was patrolling the west side of the island and inform them that the Pishi Army of Beiliao had arrived in Chenzhou, so that they could be more vigilant and Prepare for battles that may arise at any time.

And Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze rode their horses towards the original Suzhou Pass and the current north city wall...

#####
Today's North City Wall, which is the Suzhou Pass built by the Liao people, is not so much a pass as a wall.The wall is no more than three feet thick and less than ten feet high.The north and south of Suzhou Guan are connected only by the three gates on the left, middle and right of Suzhou Guan, and the entire wall runs from east to west, reaching a length of six miles, which just cuts off the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula that extends to Bohai.

Suzhou City and Suzhou Pass originally established by the Liao Institute were not connected together. Suzhou Pass was located about two and a half miles south of Suzhou City.

However, after Dao Zhong led the army to land, after carefully examining the terrain in this area, he finally decided to recast the new city and call it Dalian.

The reason why such a puzzling name came from the hands of Wang Daguan, the incomprehensible number one talented scholar in the Song Dynasty.

As for why it is called this name.At that time, Wang Yang mysteriously told Zhong Shidao and Zongze that the reason why it was called Dalian was because "big" means powerful, and "lian" means connected, meaning that only the Song Dynasty had the ability to connect the Liaodong Peninsula. Pian Gudao is closely linked with Song Dynasty.

Zongze and Zhong Shidao didn't believe his miraculous explanation at all. However, for the face of this guy, the important thing is that they still needed the strong support of the old driver, so they had no choice but to He assured Wang Yang that a new city called Dalian would be built.

The previous Suzhou City, which looked like a soil wall, was still squatting there alone, and the Taoist didn't pay attention to it at all.Instead, the Suzhou Pass was directly regarded as the northern city wall of the newly built Dalian.

On the basis of Suzhou Pass, it is possible to build a strong city wall on the Liaodong Peninsula at the fastest speed, which is strong enough to resist the attack of the army.

Today, this city wall has begun to see its scale.The original wooden wall was wrapped in bricks, stones and cement. Now, the height of the city wall has been built to a height of two feet.

However, it is still a little short of the original design requirements, and the stacking walls have not yet been built.

"It will take at least half a month to meet the requirements at the beginning of the design. In addition, if the piled walls are added, it may take more than a month to complete. This is already the fastest speed." Zong Ze listened After receiving the report from the officials around him, he explained in a low voice towards Master Zhong.

"Since the Liao Kingdom's Pishi army has arrived, it will definitely not give us such a long time." Zhong Shidao turned his head and looked behind him.

Behind them are countless camps, and the camps of the Liaodong Army are placed on the west side near the coast.On the east coast is the wharf that has been quickly repaired. At this moment, huge sea ships can still be seen slowly berthing into the wharf.

On the pier, a simple warehouse was built to store materials that needed shelter from wind and rain.And about a few miles away from this towering city wall, there are many rectangular regular buildings being built there.

The Jiaodong Navy has been closely guarding the tip of the island extending from the Liaodong Peninsula. As for the maritime transportation tasks, it is almost entirely completed by Wanhong Trading Co., Ltd. independently.

Not far away, there were bullock carts pulling thick cement slabs about two feet long and about two feet past them. They were called prefabricated slabs, and it was said that they were also made by Wang Yangwang. .

It is precisely because of the appearance of prefabricated panels that Huang Longze was able to build so many residential houses for the refugees to live in at a speed faster than anyone knew.
