Behind the second earthen wall is the city of Lushun South City.

Although the walls of the northern city of Lushun have been hollowed out to fill the surrounding fortifications, the southern city has been continuously expanded.

The scale of the current Nancheng is much larger than the original Nancheng, and there is an additional outer city in the direction of the flank of the Nancheng near the coastline.

The most important thing is that on the basis of the original southern city, all the walls of the city wall have been added with tall horse faces.

Behind the southern city, there is a fort with a strong defense of about 500 meters around the city, and its geographical location is almost close to the original port location on the seaside.

The trenches and positions arranged in the surrounding areas like this have been covered in the surrounding areas of Lushun City, and the same scene is true on the mountains near the Golden Mountain around Lushun.

Moreover, the defensive line on several hilltops in the mountains was set up from the mountainside, and even some of the fortifications were built close to the top of the mountain.

Near the sea, there were passages between these fortifications and the curved rammed earth walls of Arthur, and if the Houjin army wanted to attack the forts on these hills, they would have to wear heavy armor and climb a long hillside.

Moreover, they did not have the means to push the shield cart up the hill from this area.

If they couldn't push the shield cart up, the riflemen and artillerymen on the hillside would easily shoot them one by one.

Even if they were able to conquer the hill in the end, there would be no way to break through directly into the fortifications where the Lushun earth wall was located through these passages, and they would still have to rearrange their formations to attack the fortifications on the rammed earth wall.

The Golden Mountain controls the waterway of the nearby Port Arthur, and is more tightly defended than other hills, with layers of fortresses and fortifications built along the mountain, and some roads up and down the mountain are winding and winding around the mountain.

These roads are connected between those fortifications, and the entire Golden Mountain is like a barracks, and it is conceivable that the Huaxia Army is completely fortified layer by layer, and each layer is self-contained.

In the area inside and outside the city of Lushun, which was dug beyond recognition, flags of different colors of various units were constantly flying, and in the military port in the distance, there were still many ships spitting black smoke and constantly coming and going.

In the wilderness outside Lushun City, there are still some scattered scouts roaming around, making the entire Lushun City exude a kind of momentum of strict rectification and killing.

He went up to the Derge class on the mountain with Zilharang, and when he saw this scene in front of him at this moment, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

Zilharang came up earlier than the Deg class, and looked more carefully, after watching it for so long, he kept shaking his head, and in the end, he finally couldn't help but mutter, "I beat XX XX, how to fight in this situation, this time, Fourteen Baylor is probably going to suffer, but I don't know how he will step down in the end." ”

Two days later, the large forces of the Houjin army arrived one after another, and the whole team was covered in the mountains and fields north of Lushun City.

The flags were set up separately and camped, and the tents that set up the banners were all over the mountains, and countless coats and aha sweated like rain, digging the trenches for the camp under the leadership of their respective masters.

All their men and horses followed the direction of the Arthur River and descended the camp in turn.

Just a part of the people in front of me has more than 50,000 people, and if you look at the official road, you can also find a steady stream of people and horses from the Houjin side rushing here.

Dolgon's Baylor banner finally appeared under the mountain north of Lushun, at this moment he looked at the strict barrier set up by the Huaxia army opposite, and did not say any words for a long time, and a group of Baylor, ministers and other military nobles of Houjin were by his side.

When they dug trenches to besiege Jinzhou City and Dalinghe City, they never imagined that they themselves would one day have to face such trenches and earthen walls, and they were far more rigorous than the fortifications they had used in Dalinghe.

Dai Shan, Zilharang and the others all looked solemn. However, Duoduo, who had been persuaded by Dolgon's speech that day, had completely given up competing with Dolgon for the throne of Khan, as well as the other young generation of slave owners of the Eight Banners, were shouting loudly over there with excitement, and it seemed that they were still a little eager to try as if they were ready to ask Dolgon for war.

The position formed by the two moats on the opposite side is not a real city wall, but its function is no different from that of a city wall.

Beneath the tall rammed earth walls, which are about 4 meters high, the deep trenches are more than two meters deep. Sandwiched together, this is the city wall that is more than 6 meters high.

After breaking through the rammed earth walls of these two trenches, it was the city of Lushun South City, where there was also a complete defense system.

Look at the Lushun South City, you know that it is not easy to fight, but even if the Lushun South City is also defeated, in the direction of the port, there is still a new city.

This alone is already a full four lines of defense, in fact, this does not include the forts and related fortifications on the Golden Mountain, because the Golden Mountain is also close to the sea.

Although the situation in the fortifications such as the southern city of Lushun, the port, and the Golden Mountain, the Houjin officers present here could not see it clearly at all, but the defensive line composed of the few trenches they saw in front of them alone was far beyond their imagination.

This kind of fortification is completely different from their understanding, they were also digging trenches to besiege the city on the periphery of the Daling River, but their defense configuration is far inferior to the Lushun City in front of them now.

Dolgon asked Yue Tuo, who was the main commander of the forward, in a calm voice, "What kind of situation is the place where Lushun entered the port?" ”

"Qi Yu Fourteen Baylor, the place where the port is entered, there is also a relatively wide fortress, in front of the fortress, there are several layers of side earthen walls, and the side of the golden mountain, one south and one north firmly guard the inlet and outlet of Port Arthur.

The terrain in that place is extremely narrow, and if you attack there, you will have to climb several hills, and from our camp, you need to walk a full twenty miles of mountain roads in a circle to get there.

But when attacking, the men and horses we send will also encounter a two-sided attack from the Huaxia navy. ”

Dolgon asked the port as soon as he opened his mouth, because he saw clearly at a glance the key point of the defense of the Huaxia army, that is, the logistics line of Lushun.

However, now that he listened to Yue Tuo's words, he immediately knew that the Huaxia Army was not a vegetarian, and they had already prepared there.

The meaning of Yue Tuo's words is obviously that he is not very optimistic about the operation of attacking the port.
