There is no return. Since the reunification, the defense of the capital here has been a top priority, and countless financial resources and manpower have been spent on its construction.

The defense system of ancient city walls. If there is a city wall, there must be a moat!

The moat surrounding Wuguan was built during the reign of King Zhuang Xiang. The river is twenty feet wide and has stone walls. It is strong and steep. The rapid tributaries of the Han River were artificially introduced into the river. The moat is gradually low-lying in steps upstream.

There are more than a dozen gates built. When these gates are open, the river water is so high that it can form a drop of more than ten feet high, with the momentum of white waves. The inner edge of the moat is built with a trench wall, which is surrounded by trenches on the outside and a narrow road on the inside.

, greatly improving the defensive combat capabilities of the moat.

The city wall is earthy gray, with layers of rammed loess on the inside and wide, cold stones on the outside. It is extremely hard and about four feet high. According to relevant people in the city, the city is divided into four gates: east, west, south and north.

There are 5,985 crenellations in total. There are three gates: the main tower, the watchtower, and the gate tower. The gate tower is at the outermost, and its function is to lift the suspension bridge. The watchtower is in the middle, and there are square windows on the front and both sides.

It is used for archery. The main tower is at the end and is the main gate of the city. The archery tower and the main tower are connected by a wall, which is called Wengcheng. It is a place for garrisoning troops. There is also a horse path leading to the head of the city in Wengcheng, which is gentle and has no steps, which is convenient for war horses.

Up and down. There are eleven horse paths built throughout the city. There are turrets protruding out of the city at the four corners of the city wall. Except for the southwest corner, which is round, the others are square. There is a turret on the corner pedestal that is taller than the enemy tower, indicating that

The important position here in the war.

Of the four walls, the south gate is the strongest. The wall base, city gate, and top horse path are much stronger than the other three sides. This was designed in the early days of the city's construction to prevent the attack of the Jingzhou Army of Chu State and to face the enemy head-on.
