Chapter 1398 I'm afraid it will take more than a month to complete the city wall
Chapter 1398
The left and right siege army were mainly cavalry, while the north and south siege army were mainly infantry, and were carefully selected from various places in the Liao Kingdom. Everyone was wearing good armor and heavy armor, and they were all trained and experienced in the battlefield.
It can be said that the Piss Army is now definitely the most elite among the million troops in Northern Liao, just like the imperial troupes in the Song Dynasty.
The Emperor of Northern Liao sent them over, which means that Northern Liao's determination and will to retake the Liaodong Peninsula. When he thought that except for the five thousand elite Western troops, there were only the 3,500 miscellaneous soldiers who had just been integrated in the previous period.
What remains are nearly 10,000 craftsmen who are working hard on the land of Liaodong to build the New Liaodong Peninsula. As for the Jiaodong Navy of Song Dynasty, there are more than 20,000 or 30,000 people, but the Liao Kingdom also has naval troops and is eyeing them.
During this period, the navy of the Liao Kingdom collected a large number of fishing boats from Bohai to Chenzhou from all directions. What was the purpose of it? It seemed that it was preparing for the war.
After a short while, the generals and schoolmen who were training soldiers in the military camp rushed over and rushed to the central army tent of Zhong Shidao not far from the wharf.
When he heard that the 30,000 piss army had quietly lurked to the southwest of Chenzhou, just like a beast waiting to be released from the cage, and would hit him at any time, the faces of the generals also became ugly.
"Master, General Feng is willing to go to Ningzhou to deploy defenses to block the Liao army." At this time, a general of the Western Army came out loudly and said loudly.
Zhong Shidao shook his head decisively and rejected the general's proposal. "No need, let you come. I am here to inform you of this news, and secondly, I want to tell you that I will step up the training of the army and must not slacken."
"As for all the defenders and projects in Ningzhou and Zhenhai Prefecture, they stopped and asked the soldiers to lead the craftsmen to retreat to Tailian immediately. They would give up the land north of the northern city wall of Dalian."
"Master, how is this possible? How can we abandon the Liaodong Peninsula, which we finally got from the female direct people, so easily?" Another general stood up and raised his objections.
Zhong Shidao stroked his long beard and smiled indifferently. "My generals, I agree with your desire to fight, but don't forget that the other party is the most elite Pishi army in Northern Liao, and it has come twice, and more importantly, it is several times more than our army."
"This retreat is not because I am afraid of the enemy and war, and want to withdraw from Liaodong, but just want to squeeze our strength into a fist. On the top of the island of the Liaodong Peninsula, with the solid city wall built by the hard work of our Song Dynasty craftsmen over the past month, it will turn this place into a nightmare place for the Northern Liao Pishi Army."
After hearing what Zhong Shidao said, these Western generals stopped talking. Soon, the messenger left Zhong Shidao's central tent and ran towards the north.
A quarter of an hour later, all the generals and schools left the central army's tent and rushed back to their respective camps. From now on, they dared to slack off at all, and tried to get the miscellaneous soldiers to train themselves as soon as possible, and at least they could do their part in the future battles.
In addition, Zhong Shidao sent people to board the Clippers and contact the Jiaodong Navy who was patrolling the west side of the island, and informed the news that the Pishi Army of Bei Liao had already arrived in the land of Chenzhou, so that they were more vigilant to deal with possible battles at any time.
Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze rode their horses towards the original Suzhou Pass and headed towards the current North City Wall...
#####
The current northern city wall, which is the Suzhou Pass built by the Liao people, is more like a wall than a pass. The wall is only three feet thick and less than a meter high. Suzhou Pass north and south, only connects the three doors on the left, middle and right of Suzhou Pass. The entire pass wall is from east to west, with a length of six miles, which just cuts the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula that extends to the Bohai Sea.
The Suzhou City and Suzhou Pass originally established by the Liao Institute are not connected together. Suzhou Pass is located about two and a half miles south of Suzhou City.
However, after Dazhong Shidao led a large army to land, after carefully examining the land shape of this area, he finally decided to recast the new city and call it Dalian.
The reason why such a confusing name was given was that it was the inconvenient hand of Wang Daguanren, the most talented man in the Song Dynasty.
As for why it was called this name. Wang Yang mysteriously told Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze that the reason why it was called Dalian was because it means greatness, and it means connectivity, which means that only the Song Dynasty has the ability to closely connect the isolated island of the Liaodong Peninsula with the Song Dynasty.
Zong Ze and Zhong Shidao did not believe his magical explanation at all, but for the sake of this guy, what is important is that they still need the strong support of this veteran driver, and forced to assure Wang Yang that they would build a new city called Dalian.
The Suzhou City, which was like a terrain before, was still squatting there alone, and Master Zhong ignored it. Instead, he directly regarded the Suzhou Pass as the newly built northern wall of Dalian.
Only on the basis of Suzhou Pass can a strong and strong city wall on this Liaodong Peninsula at the fastest speed can be built on the Liaodong Peninsula.
Now, this city wall has first appeared in scale. It has wrapped the original wooden wall in it with bricks, stones and cement. Now, the height of the city wall has been built to a height of two feet.
However, the initial design requirements are still a little lower than the height, and the stacking walls have not been built yet.
"It will take at least half a month to meet the requirements of the initial design. In addition, if the stacking wall is added, it will take more than a month to complete the construction. This is the fastest speed." After hearing the reports from the officials around him, Zong Ze explained in a low voice to Master Zhong.
"Since the elite troops of the Liao Kingdom's Pishou Army have arrived, we will definitely not be given that long." Zhong Shidao turned his head and looked behind him.
Behind them are countless camp tents, and the Liaodong Army's camp tents are located near the coast to the west. The coast to the east is a pier that was repaired. At this moment, you can still see huge sea boats slowly berthing into the pier.
A simple warehouse was built on the pier to place supplies that needed shelter from the wind and rain. And about a mile away from the towering city wall, there were many rectangular regular buildings being built there.
The Jiaodong Navy has been closely guarding the island tip extending from the Liaodong Peninsula. As for the maritime transportation tasks, it was almost entirely completed independently by Wanhong Trading Company.
Not far away, there were ox carts, pulling thick cement boards about two feet long by passing by them. The thing was called prefabricated boards, which were said to be the work of Wang Yang and Wang Daguanren.
