Chapter 398: The Beacon Tower

Chen Xin dared to say to Zachdan, "Beat the Morgen Daiqing back to the prototype," because he had full confidence in Zachdan's military command ability.

Chen Xinke never thought that the slave owners who were still hunting in the deep mountains and old forests decades ago on the Houjin side would be some so-called "geniuses".

In fact, as long as an army is in a state of war for a long time, then under the huge base, a group of officers with rich combat experience will always emerge.

Of course, this theory is based on the premise that most of the people who participated in the war were lucky enough to survive.

On the side of the Ming army, why is it so mysterious to blow a fishing and hunting nation that survives with the connivance of the Liaodong gate lords? What do you say is invincible?

To a large extent, it is because the Ming Dynasty army was basically led by a group of military blinders, blindly dispatched, and, just every time, it was annihilated by those laymen.

In this way, the Houjin army is more experienced, the more veterans, and the stronger the team.

As for the Ming army, the veterans who could fight were all lost, and in the later stages of the war with the Houjin, a group of so-called "veterans" who were frightened but were brought to a group of recruits who had never fought at all, and they were simply about to collapse.

By this period, the Later Jin army basically needed to rely on fame to defeat the Ming Dynasty army.

In this environment, in the Houjin Army, if you take out an officer at the level of the banner master, Baylor, or even Gushan Ezhen, Meler Ezhen, etc., you can boast that you are a famous general who shocks the world.

But, in reality? These famous generals who don't even know a few big characters are just like that.

You must know that in history, this group of "famous generals" has been unable to go to the battlefield to fight in less than 10 years after entering the customs, and they can only rely on surrendering troops to quell some civil rebellions.

Among the 100,000 fishermen and hunters, they can get out of so many "famous generals" in the Houjin archives.

Chen Xin believes that the training system he founded is much more scientific than the battlefield elimination mechanism of completely herding sheep. Now Huaxia can produce more and stronger celebrities in batches.

Chen Xin took the guard flag team and rode a war horse all the way to trot, and finally, when it was almost dark, they arrived in the Lushun area.

Now Lushun has already become a huge construction site, and thousands of migrant workers are working in full swing in the cold wind of early spring.

According to the plan, the focus of the construction of the Lushun area at this stage is mainly the expansion of the southern city of Lushun, as well as the fortresses at the mouth of the two military ports in the Golden Mountain and West Jiguan Mountain, and of course, the most important wharf fortress must not be forgotten.

The original Lushun North City, which was demolished to a certain extent, still has many remnants of green bricks, stones and other materials, which are still in place. So, when it came to construction, the engineers didn't waste these materials.

In the face of the extremely powerful shaping concrete, no matter how bizarre the shape of the remaining material, the experts can use them in the construction of new fortresses everywhere.

Fu Yan, who stayed in Lushun, took Chen Xin to inspect all the locations where the fort was planned to be built, which was basically the same as what the headquarters had planned before.

In the southern city of Lushun, a little further south, the kingdom rebuilt an "outer city" fortress.

The fort stretched from the inland area to the vicinity of the military port wharf, and a new salient was added every 50 meters or so on the original Lushun city wall.

These protrusions, in the Ming Dynasty, are called horse faces, which is a very old, but very effective architectural concept.

It was specially made to reduce the area of dead corners under the city and increase the density of fire projection on the wall.

On the wharf of the military port, the construction workers have also built an exterior wall that is not too high.

The distance between the outer wall of this military port and the wall of Lushun South City is less than 100 meters, to be exact, 75 meters.

This distance, according to the regulations of this era, is basically like the relationship between the city and the water city in the coastal and riverside areas, and the two complement each other.

The 75-meter-wide experience in the middle is completely within the attack range of the two walls.

The Chinese defenders on the defensive side can deploy, assemble, and gather troops in this wide passage. Moreover, it is also extremely convenient when the troops attack from here.

When the situation is found to be wrong, when it is necessary to withdraw troops, it can still be used here, relying on the strong firepower on the two walls to cover the retreat of the attacking troops.

Now, inside the outer wall of the military port wharf, the sediment is being excavated and the foundation is being excavated, because according to the plan, an inner harbor will also be built here.

The fortress built near the mouth of the Golden Mountain is basically a large fort in terms of function.

This fort was built on the east side of the mouth of the waterway of the Arthur Military Port, and the artillery of the Huaxia military installed the latest heavy artillery of the kingdom and controlled it, and the west side of the entire Golden Mountain Waterway was an absolutely safe area.

When Chen Xin was in China, he discussed with everyone, and next, the kingdom would build a defensive position on the peninsula terrain on the side of West Jiguan Mountain.

In the plan, it is planned to use fortresses, forts, earth-rammed city walls, and moats to combine with each other, and fortify them step by step along the course of the mountain to form a deep fortification with echelon ascension.

Under this system, the defense is basically very strong.

However, even so, some officers still suggested that in time of war, barbed wire, horses, thistles, mines, and other things could be temporarily placed on the main roads inside the fortifications.

Chen Xin looked at the surrounding terrain and silently calculated the scene in his mind, and couldn't help but shudder, it was really terrifying to think about.

If that's the case, the defense system in the Lushun area will be very complete, and it can be said to be impregnable.

As long as the plans in the early stage are successfully implemented, the reconnaissance troops complete the battlefield shielding of the enemy, and can get the news of the large-scale attack of the Houjin army in advance, the kingdom can urgently ship a batch of troops from the country.

There is no need to enter the military port, and from the southern sea, you can directly enter these fortifications.

At that time, even if the Houjin Army used tens of thousands of lives to fill it back and forth, it would be impossible to fill it up.

What's more, as long as they have a little brain, those slave owners in Houjin are absolutely reluctant to fill this bottomless pit with a small population, after all, not everyone can be brainwashed into Nogi Xidian.

However, for now, all this is just an idea, and it has not yet been fully realized, and at the moment, the first goal is to expand the southern city of Lushun.

The fortifications on the surrounding waterway were only temporarily built on the top of the Golden Mountain as a warning and deterrent.

In order to ensure the timely transmission and accuracy of information, a building with the function of a beacon tower was also set up on the artillery position.

This vigilance system is basically a complete copy of the ancient Chinese military vigilance and transmission system, and it can also be said to be the most effective way to transmit messages in this era, even in the early days of the invention of the telegraph.
