Chapter 279 Terrifying War Fortress-1
The reason why Rong Wei and others were eager to visit the corridor of Cave 18 was that in addition to the Xingkong Battle Camp's work in Cave 18 that alarmed Rong Wei, the most important thing was that Cave 18 was too "calm".
You should know that before, Cave 18 was the thirty-six Caves on the Stone Mountain | Blade Gorge | In the corridor, the place where the most pressure on war was under war, even the guards directly commanded by Rong Wei had to deploy more than 100,000 people here to barely stabilize the battle situation.
Although it was difficult to push the Xiangkong Camp to this position with the greatest defense pressure, intending to make them suffer, the soldiers of the Zuohu, combat attendants, armed warriors, logistics soldiers, baggage soldiers, and camp construction servants, after all, were just newcomers who had never been on the battlefield.
Rong Wei didn't dare to joke about the war, so he was preparing to watch the jokes of the Xiangkong Battle Camp and was preparing to respond to the Xiangkong Battle Camp at any time. But strangely, the Xiangkong Battle Camp not only did not send any help signals, but even the wolf smoke symbolizing the enemy's encounter at the pass had never risen.
If it weren't for the fact that the Xiangkong Battle Camp was about to turn the Eighteen Caves into a large construction site, and the hundreds of thousands of people were in full swing here, Rong Wei would have thought that the Eighteen Caves had fallen and had been completely captured by the Liyi rebels.
This is too abnormal. From the beginning of the defense and defense of the corridor of Cave Eighteen Caves, the position of Cave Eighteen Caves has not released even a warning from the enemy in the three months since the first snow has fallen.
It was as if the Yankong Battle Camp "The Yi rebels had negotiated. Before they built the defense facilities of the Eighteen Caves, the rebels would never disturb them. The Li Yi rebels seemed to have forgotten the Eighteen Caves. Instead, the pressure on the other thirty-five Caves丨Blade Gorge increased day by day, and they had no time to distract themselves and worry about other things.
If it weren't for the sudden drop in the early snow today, the Li Yi rebels' offensive slowed down and Rong Wei could breathe for a few days, and he wouldn't have time to run to the corridor of Cave 18 to "inspecte".
According to the laws and regulations of the Great Wilderness Border Guards, whenever the pass is attacked by the enemy, a pillar of wolf smoke will be raised to "warn" to other positions. If the battle is urgent, a second pillar will be raised to remind friendly forces to "warn" and be ready to support at any time.
If the pressure is too great, the three pillars of smoke representing "seeking help" can also be raised, the five pillars of smoke symbolizing the "crisis" of the position (the first city wall is lost), the seven pillars of smoke that were "invaded" by the pass (the second city wall is lost), the nine pillars of smoke that were completely "breaked" (the third city wall is lost), etc.
But in the eighteen caves, let alone the three or seventy-nine, even a pillar of smoke from the enemy had never risen. Instead, the wolf smoke from other corridors kept popping up all day long, making the mountain along the line look like the big chimney of the black factory.
If the scouts who stayed here would have been using the War Eagle to convey information every day to inform Rong Wei that everything is fine in the camp. It is estimated that Rong Wei would have brought people here to take over the defense of Cave 18 again.
As the corridor with the longest defense line and the highest chance of attack among the thirty-six positions of the thirty-six positions, Cave 18 cannot be attacked. Even the corridor with the first cave with a width of only a few hundred meters and the corridor with the lowest pressure and the terrain is extremely conducive to defense. It has been smashed to pieces during this period. It can be seen that the Liyi rebels of Jianshishanbu have become increasingly crazy with the arrival of winter.
Since the rebellion of the three kings of the Liyi tribes, the rebels were like snowballs. The disasters in Zhongrong County and the three prefectures have now affected the entire military war palaces in Zhongrong County and Qingshan Prefecture alone have already fallen into war zones, and the Stone City has relied on its remote location, fortunately, they have not been invaded by the main forces of the rebels.
I heard that some of the prefectures and cities have even been broken by rebels and invaded the inner regions and ravaged thousands of miles. Their situation is terrible and unbearable to mention it.
However, rebels who are solely plundering cannot have complete logistical support and sufficient combat readiness hoarding like the guards. Once they cannot plunder food and fodder for replenishment, their offensive will be frustrated and will naturally gradually collapse and disappear with the chaos that arises within.
It is said that the cause of the rebellion of the hundreds of tribes in Liyi was because during the autumn harvest festival last year, the people in various places were garrisoned cities and Rongbao exploited the people too ruthlessly, resulting in the people of the hundreds of tribes in Liyi who had no food to spend the winter, and they were still dead, which forced the hundreds of tribes in Liyi to rebel.
No one expected that the Liyi rebels would successfully survive the cold winter of last year by plundering. After several seasons of grain harvest this year, they had accumulated enough food and fodder, which brought about a large number of common people and subordinates from all over the country, forming a terrible "chaotic wave" that suddenly became uncontrollable.
Last winter, they were able to survive the winter by robbing because the scale was not large. With the arrival of this year's winter, the number of rebels has increased by tens of thousands of times. It is unlikely that they can survive the winter by robbing alone.
That's why they expanded wildly, striving to capture the garrison cities, Rongbao, Tunzhai, and Docks that had accumulated a large amount of food and fodder, and seized supplies for the winter.
The Shishan, which was in charge of Tielu Fort, opened a defense line of more than 800 kilometers in the east and west direction, but it blocked the rebels' path to southward. As the materials in the northern battlefield were looted by the rebels, under the pressure of winter survival, they would inevitably advance south frantically to gain greater living space.
In this case, how could the pressure on the defense line be insufficient? As the widest corridor of the Eighteen Caves in Knife Gorge, how could it not be attacked by the rebels heading south by the rebels who are heading south?
That's why Rong Wei and the others felt that Cave 18 was too "quiet". After the snow fell, the rebels waited for the opportunity to replenish supplies and suspend the offensive. They quickly came to Cave 18 to inspect and see what was going on.
With the more than one million combat power under his command, Rong Wei was not worried that Cave 18 would fall all of a sudden. Even if so many people were filled in, they could still last for a long time, right? It was enough for friendly troops from the other thirty-five corridor positions to come and support it.
Even if Rong Wei heard that Cave 18 was broken through the city wall and entered the inner city by the rebels, he would not find it strange, but there was no movement, which made people too uneasy, for fear of falling into the air battle camp | When he saw that the rebels were powerful, Yu Qian surrendered to the enemy.
But as they came all the way from No. 12 of Cave 18 | Blade Forecast City | this worry slowly dissipated. Not to mention the strong combat power of the troops under their command, the existence of these twelve terrible war fortresses alone is probably enough to make the rebels vomit blood.
Break the layer and look up and see the layer again. Break the layer and see the layer again and again. Anyone who changes it will probably feel that he wants to die, right?
While riding a very strange cable lift and boarding the city wall of the No. 12 War Fortress, Rong Wei suddenly realized that it was because the defense of the eighteen Cave positions was too strong and difficult to fight. After the frustrated rebels here vomited blood, they were very sad to change places to fight other corridors, which led to the increasing pressure on other corridors in the near future?
What Rong Wei didn't know was that his "divine understanding" was actually very close to the facts, but he only guessed the beginning, but he didn't guess the end...
When Rong Wei and his party climbed the wall accompanied by Hu Hu, they were immediately shocked by the majestic and majestic scene on the No. 12 Yonggu War Fortress. The city wall, which was more than 30 meter high and more than 0 meters thick (more than 50 meters) was almost twice as high as the first wall in Cave 18.
Standing under the city wall, let alone siege the city with flesh and blood, I guess even if I look up, I will have to fold my neck. The most terrifying thing is that the wall, which is as high as 70 meters and wide, is not a flat plane, but a three-stage step combat platform with a "convex" shape is erected.
The bottom first-level pedestal is five meters high and thirty meters wide. There are spaces ten meters wide on both sides for soldiers to walk. The second-level pedestal is three meters high and twenty meters wide. Only a ten-meter-wide battle platform is reserved on the outside. The third-level pedestal is also three meters high and ten meters wide, and a ten-meter-wide battle platform is reserved on the outside.
In this way, the entire 50-meter-wide top of the war fortress, along with the top of the season 3 pedestal, has a total of four-layer combat platforms, rather than the single-layer combat space at the top of the regular city wall.
What makes people feel numb is that every ten meters of this four-layer combat platform is installed with a huge instrument. Although it is wrapped in linoleum, it is impossible to tell what it is. But just looking at the complex structure and the hideous appearance of the fangs and claws, you can know that this thing is definitely not used as a decoration on the city wall.
Closely under the city wall, a 50-meter-high and 30-meter-wide Hyogo, a 30-meter-high and 20-meter-wide armament warehouse, combined with the war fortress, formed a giant three-stage ladder.
This war fortress, which looks like a dam, has a total height of an astonishing 82 meters, and with the two giant war buildings in the rear, the total width reaches a terrible 100 meters.
The members of the guard inspectors who were as stupid as a gangster looked at all this and felt cold all over. They couldn't help but feel sad for those who were preparing to attack this war fortress. Rong Wei thought more about it, which also caused his body to tremble slightly without being cold...
Such war fortresses, in the entire Eighteen Caves | Blade Forefront Gorge | corridor, there are twelve acropolises that are not included in the entrance, and there are all twelve acropolis.
