Fortunately, it is now basically a compound strike.

The north gate is also of the same size, and the east and west gates are due to the fact that there was no remaining urn castle before, and if it is rebuilt, the amount of work will be very large. After getting Dong Ce's approval, Gao Danian, who was in charge of the engineering design, directly blocked the east and west gates, and the province became a weak point.

Only the north and south are left, the south gate is for pedestrians, vehicles and horses, and it is also the tallest section of the city wall and the most complete defensive buildings. The north gate leads to the Qingfeng Mountain fortress behind, and it is not afraid of enemy attacks at all.

The closer you get to the south gate, the higher the section of the city wall becomes, showing a gentle slope that slowly descends, and finally stabilizes at a height of about two zhang. A horse path is built on the gentle slope, with steps up and down, and female walls on both sides, which is very convenient to pass.

Although it is only two zhang high, the thickness has not weakened at all, and it is still more than 20 meters thick, reaching six or seven zhang. The walls were extremely wide, which was very important for warfare. When the city is attacking and defending, more soldiers and military equipment can be placed on it.

As far as the defensive structure itself is concerned, the Rock Fort is already very perfect, the city is not large, but the city walls are tall and strong, such a goal that no commander wants to face a hard fight. A small city means that there are fewer flaws, which means that the defender does not need to use too much manpower to reunite the city, so that others can get more time to rest and fully rotate.

This kind of city, like a hard, tough and tough copper pea, wants to bite down, you have to be ready to be broken teeth.

However, at present, this defense system is not perfect, or rather, it is not perfect at all, just a dead thing.

Because the most important factor is missing here - people!

Defenders - Defenders.

When I looked up, the city wall was empty, there was not a single flag, and there was no one.

Because there are no soldiers in Panshi Fort now, Dong Ce has a family under him, but it is a family Ding, according to the rules of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the family Ding is a private army, although he holds the country's salary, but he is the general's house slave, which can be taken away when he leaves office. Defending the city with them is not like a word. And even if Dong Ce thinks about it, just a few people have no effect.

Dong Ce positioned them as a light cavalry that uses high speed to transform into high mobility, coming and going like the wind. Now that the team has not even been formed, there are not many people, and you want to pull it out? That's too wishful thinking.

So in fact, Fort Rock has always been in a state of no defenders at all. And Dong Ce's original promise to Liu Ruozai was to train a strong army of at least 300 people before the end of Chongzhen's eighth year. Now this strong army does not even have a shadow for the time being. Of course, he could have used his own team of family members to deal with it. At present, the family members of these three capitals are still very poor, very weak, and very average in Dong Ce's eyes, and they still need to be vigorously practiced and practiced. However, by the standards of the Ming army at this time, officers and soldiers who could march forward bravely when they encountered the enemy instead of retreating from the Empress Hasti were even rare.

Such a deal can be regarded as a coping past.

However, Dong Ce obviously would not do this. If he did this, Liu Ruozai would definitely be unhappy in his heart and give birth to mustard, then all his previous efforts would be completely in vain. And he himself wants to train a soldier very much.

is much more urgent and eager than Liu Ruozai, but it has not been delayed until now.

In fact, he hated to pull this team up on the first day he recruited the homeless people in Rock Fort, but the reality simply did not allow it.

In fact, starting with the Rock Castle to recruit homeless people, it was a bit of a rough deal. Dong Ce overestimated the influence of that notice on the displaced people, and many people were skeptical of it or simply did not believe that the government would be so kind, after all, in this era, the reputation of the government among the people has been extremely poor, and only the only thing left is tyrannical expropriation, greed and cruelty. The people don't really believe the government's words anymore.

Those who don't believe naturally won't come at all, and the vast majority of those who are half-believing are too far away from here, and they want to go there, and they are afraid that they will starve to death halfway. In the end, those who came were desperate and desperate with the idea of what to do. And a considerable part of them came from Yanghe City, which was also thanks to Liu San'er's role, he colluded with the soldiers defending the city to prevent the displaced people from entering the city, cutting off their future and hope, forcing many people to come to Panshi Fort. Although most of them died on the way, in the end, many people came and survived.

In fact, Dong Ce's heart was very conflicted at that time, looking forward to coming more, but also afraid that he would not be able to raise too much.

In the end, the number of people was only half of what he expected, but fortunately, otherwise, Dong Ce really couldn't afford to raise it. As for the number of displaced people, there is no need to worry at all, the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the population is so large, and seeing that after the New Year, it is another great drought, and the displaced people will flock to all directions, as long as there is really food, it is how much it wants.

It's just a few homeless, but there's a lot of work. Repair canals, reclaim and level farmland, repair houses, and build city walls...... And so on and so forth, they have to do it. It's not that Dong Ce doesn't want to recruit soldiers as soon as possible, it's just that there is really no manpower. Only when all the work is almost done and you are free can you think about this. And now, that time is almost there.
