What Wu Nian wanted to do was not just that. After the others dispersed, Wu Nian took Tieniu and Liu Wu out of the Wu Mansion.

Under the respectful eyes of the military household of Beishan Fort, Wu Nian first inspected the situation of Beishan Fort, and then climbed up the city wall in the north of the city to observe the terrain.

The entire Beishan Fort is located on a small flat land between mountains. In addition to the castle itself, there are more than 10,000 acres of land outside the city.

There are many roads in and out, but they are not good roads.

"Two brothers, look at the terrain of our Beishan Fort. If I were the enemy's commander, I would send up to three thousand troops to attack us. No matter how many more, they would have no place to set up camp and form an attack formation. And there are no roads around it.

It’s easy to walk, but the logistics are extremely difficult. The ancestors of the Liaodong generals built Beishan Fort here not without purpose.”

Wu Nian raised his head and looked at the north, his eyes sparkling. He turned to look at Tieniu and Liu Wu on the left and right, and said with high spirits.

Tieniu and Liu Wu both nodded. They were both military households and good soldiers. They also liked to study this in their daily life. They knew the terrain advantages of Beishan Fort very well.

"If the Mongols really come here and send 3,000 troops to attack us. If we have a population of 10,000 and there are other places to support us, we can hold the castle. But don't forget, sir. Now we

There are only three thousand military households, plus one thousand of your domestic slaves."

Liu Wu's eyebrows showed a hint of worry as he said.

This mountain fort could have accommodated 10,000 military households, but due to various reasons, the military households fled, and now the population is only over 3,000.

If there are 10,000 military households, then at least 2,000 strong men, including women and veterans, will be able to compete with 3,000 Mongolians if the Mongolians do not have heavy weapons and the morale of Beishan Fort is high and everyone is united.

Soldier's.

By the way, reinforcements and sufficient supplies are also needed.

Otherwise, no need to discuss.

Mongolian people are not vegetarians.

Now under Wu Nian's management, Beishan Fort has about 4,000 people and sufficient supplies. But if there is a fight, and even Liaodong is likely to fall, then there is no need to think about reinforcements.

"People will have it. I'm still worried that we may not have enough food." Wu Nian's eyes flashed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head.

Liu Wu and Tieniu are both confused. Where is the person? Although you are very powerful, sir, you cannot conjure people out of thin air.

Wu Nian stopped his smile, shook his head again, and sighed: "If the entire Liaodong enters a state of war, refugees will be inevitable. Of those who flee, some of them will definitely flee to Beishan Fort."

"Long Qie had this idea. He wanted to recruit refugees in Ding County to fight with the Mongolians. It turned out that Zhang Jin thought the same way. We are military households. We should not do this, but if most of Liaodong falls, the war will

This can also be done when the fire reaches Beishan Fort. You have to be flexible."

Liu Wu and Tieniu both looked surprised. It turned out to be like this. They had not considered the overall situation.

Yes. War brings about refugees.

The hard days of the Han people in Liaodong have just begun.

"But sir, if they are refugees from outside, I'm afraid they won't be so reliable." Tieniu said in a deep voice. It's not that he is xenophobic.

It's just that outsiders are not always as reliable as the folks in Beishan Fort, and Wu Nian's prestige in Beishan Fort is enough to make the military households unite.

But once there are too many outsiders, it becomes difficult to tell.

"We will discuss this later. In short, if there are many refugees, we will try our best to accept them and turn them into our own strength."

Wu Nian shook his head and said.

"yes."

Tieniu and Liu Wu didn't talk nonsense and simply responded.

Anyway, it's adults' business to do things, and it's their business to fight in battle.

After Wu Nian, Tieniu and Liu Wu said these words, their eyes glanced ahead, with a thoughtful look in their eyes.

On this land of more than 10,000 acres, there are some houses. These were used by the servants of officials in the past to live in the fields to facilitate the management of the land.

Wu Nian raised his head slightly to make his field of vision wider. On the opposite side, he was surrounded by mountains.

The terrain of the entire Liaodong is like this. Huge mountain ranges almost run through the entire Liaodong. There are plains only near the sea.

Just like where the Yangtze River passes, there are plains on both sides.

Wu Nian is not sure how this kind of terrain was formed. In short, there are many mountains in Liaodong.

The corners of Wu Nian's mouth curled up slightly. This kind of terrain was very suitable for his ancestors' method of fighting guerrillas.

As long as he can hold the base of Beishan Fort under the first wave of Mongolian Yuan offensive, he can use this to develop, whether it is a sneak attack or a sap attack.

As long as you can survive and fight to the end, that's a good idea.

When survival is difficult, fight guerrillas; if you have the strength, fight a hundred-regiment war.

As long as you don't strangle him to death in one fell swoop.

He can fight for five or ten years until the Mongols are driven out of Liaodong.

Next, you can't survive by relying on recklessness. You can't go head-to-head with the Mongolians.

Thinking of this, Wu Nian lowered his head slightly, his field of vision narrowed, and his focus fell on those buildings. If there was a battle together.

Will the Mongolian people build a camp based on those houses? It is very possible.

They must not have thought that I was prepared and armed to the teeth.

Wu Nian stretched out his right hand and touched his chin, with a sinister smile on his face. He turned to Liu Wu and Tieniu and said, "Brothers, let's dig a few tunnels in advance to prepare for emergencies."

Whether it's siege or defense.

They all have means of digging tunnels.

The attackers wanted to dig tunnels into the city.

The defenders wanted to dig a tunnel and break into the enemy camp.

The Mongolian people will definitely come from the north, this is 100%. Then their camp can only be located in the north.

What if the tunnels were dug in advance and the Mongolian people didn't discover them?

"Sir, this is a huge profit." Tieniu stretched out his hands, made a fist with his right hand, and opened his left hand to fist, with a look of excitement on his face.

"There is a risk. If the tunnel is discovered, the Mongolian people may march straight in. But the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Liu Wu was calmer, but he also felt that there was much to be done.

"Okay Tieniu. You go find Li Yong and find some strong men with strong mouths to dig tunnels. We will wait and see. In addition, you two will go with me tomorrow to observe the terrain. I will cover the terrain within a fifty-mile radius of Beishan Fort.

"

"Every mountain road, every river, and every mountain is well known. We must defend our Beishan Fortress."

Wu Nian took a deep breath and spoke decisively.

"Yes." Liu Wu and Tieniu both responded without any doubt.

Just follow the adults and you will be able to do it.
