Chapter 1496 Xiongguan is as real as iron
From July 25th, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao will continue to stay in Peiquanhou Kingdom. There are only two towns in Peiquanhou Kingdom, Nanyan City and Peiquan City. Hou Guo is not just because he wants to balance the emotions of Zhuang Peiquan and other Peiquan Hou Guo God's Chosen player management team, but Qu Mao wants to see the five passes surrounding the southern city of Peiquan Hou Guo and the periphery of Peiquan City.
At the Peiquanhou State's meeting on July 24, Qu Mao put forward a clear request to Zhuang Peiquan and other Peiquanhou State's management team, that is, after completely cutting off the connection with the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory, the Peiquanhou State can rely on itself Stick to it for more than half a year, so that the troops in Emperor Yi's territory can reconnect with Peiquan Hou through the two-way portal at the end of the non-underground world.
The current situation is: after the Peiquan Hou Kingdom completely lost the logistical supplies of the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory, it can only last for one and a half months, which is far from meeting Qu Mao's requirements.
The more this is the case, the more Qu Mao wants to see the so-called impregnable five passes of the Peiquanhou Kingdom, and see whether these five passes can completely block the weapons without gunpowder, as the management team of the Peiquanhou Kingdom said. any army.
However, the geographical location of Peiquanhou Kingdom is not bad. Although the territory is generally covered with lofty mountains, it is quite rare to be able to enclose an area with a diameter of about 150 kilometers with just five passes.
Accompanied by 100 fifth-tier palace guards, Qu Mao refused the request of other members of the player management team of the God of Choice in Peiquanhou Kingdom to accompany him, and only asked Zhuang Peiquan to accompany him, and started the itinerary to inspect the five passes.
The first stop is of course Peiquan Pass which is the closest to Peiquan City. Peiquan Pass is just east of Peiquan City, only 75 kilometers away, but it takes at least half a day to walk down the mountain.
Peiquan Pass is built on a cliff, the cliff itself has a height drop of as much as 10 meters, and only a narrow road with a width of 2 meters and a vertical **** of almost 60 degrees leads to the gate of Peiquan Pass. Although Peiquanguan has a width of 3 kilometers and a depth of 2 kilometers, there is only this gate and another gate facing Peiquan City.
The city wall of Peiquanguan is a five-tiered city wall, and the height of the city wall also reaches 15 meters, which adds up to a drop of 25 meters. This kind of drop, under the premise of no firearms and weapons, and the steep **** of the pass road, is basically Impossible to be conquered head-on.
Furthermore, when Qu Mao walked up the city wall, he found that the management team of the Marquis of Peiquan had no idea of saving resources at all. In the construction of the front wall, they actually adopted the model of building two fifth-tier city walls next to each other.
Putting together two sets of fifth-tier city walls, Qu Mao is not sure whether it has double defenses from the game mechanism, but from Qu Mao's game experience alone, the enemy wants to destroy these two fifth-tier city walls. The price paid is far from being as easy as destroying two fifth-tier city walls.
Wanting to rely on cold weapons to destroy the two superimposed city walls is not because Qu Mao looked down on the enemy. Even without the nearly 10-meter vertical **** in front of Peiquan Pass, the enemy would not be able to easily take this pass.
When coming down from the wall of Peiquan Pass, Qu Mao thought of a line of poem for no reason: "Mo Dao Xiongguan is really like iron, and now you step over it from the beginning."
In Peiquan Pass, because the city wall encloses a total area of 6 square kilometers, more reservoirs have been dug. There are eight reservoirs in the front and back, the large one is more than 20,000 square meters, and the small one is more than 200 square meters. The depth of all the reservoirs is more than eight meters, but the water storage is not much, only the bottom of the pool has accumulated fresh water about 1 meter deep, so it looks like eight wells from a distance.
In the nearly nine months since I came to the Southern Continent, there have been three rains in the territory of the Marquis of Peiquan, and each time the scale was not large.
Follow-up Qu Mao continued to visit Jinbing Pass, Susan Pass, Jier Pass and Xiabing Pass. These four passes were also built like Peiquan Pass. Using cliffs or canyons, the walls of the pass were really impregnable. Two layers of five-tier city walls are physically stacked together.
The smallest Xiabingguan, because of the terrain, the length of the wall is only 300 meters, but the management team of Peiquanhou has deepened the depth of Xiabingguan to 1.5 kilometers, which makes Xiabingguan’s ability to accommodate garrison soldiers improved. uplifted.
There is also a 600-square-meter, 10-meter-deep reservoir in Xiabingguan. Unfortunately, the accumulated fresh water is not even half a meter deep. Qu Mao counted it carefully, and the total number of active small fish in it does not exceed 100.
Zhuang Peiquan said with some embarrassment: "Qu Mao, the water here is too shallow, and too many fish fry have died. Now three times a day, morning, noon and evening, soldiers have to be arranged to throw stones in with ropes and then lift them up again. Oxygenation of fish.
We discussed it, and after collecting enough supplies for a week, we will pour some fresh water into this reservoir. The area of this reservoir is not large, and it is enough to ensure that the water depth is 1 meter. "
It took Qu Mao seven days to look at all the five passes. Of course, Qu Mao did not only look at the passes. Qu Mao also checked the terrain of the mountains in the middle of the pass.
Although the high mountains in the middle of the five passes cannot completely block the passage of human beings, let alone riding a horse, it is difficult to get through the kind of equipment that weighs 10 catties.
Moreover, Zhuang Peiquan and others have also built a large number of checkpoints in the open areas of the peak. These checkpoints may not be self-sufficient, but at least they can observe the surrounding wind and grass.
In the area enclosed by the five passes of the Marquis of Peiquan, it was too difficult for the local god-chosen player lord forces in the southern continent to break through before the air force was established.
After inspecting the five passes and the mountains in the middle of the pass, Qu Mao returned to Peiquan City, and said to Zhuang Peiquan: "Zhuang Peiquan, the five passes are indeed relatively strong and reliable, but I see that all your reservoirs are Add up the fish, not enough to last you a week.
There must be fresh water in the logistical supplies of the holy land of Emperor Yi's territory to Peiquan Hou.
It's just that the demand for fresh water in the Marquis of Shaliu is too high. When the rainy season in the Holy Land comes in September, I will ask the Holy Land to send you 20 trucks of fresh water, which is about 10,000 tons. At that time, the reservoir will be filled. Fill the water deeper.
I'm going to visit the Liedehou Kingdom. "
Zhuang Peiquan smiled and said, "Thank you!"
