Gaoque Fortress, even if you only look at it from a distance, this terrifying fortress is magnificent enough!
On its left and right sides are steep mountain walls and cliffs.
The towering Yangshan Mountains, like a domineering landlord, cut off Beihe mercilessly.
Even Beihe can only bow his head in front of the Yangshan Mountains.
As a result, Beihe made a big bend from the east side of Yangshan and changed its course to flow eastward.
There is only one valley road in the entire Yangshan Mountains, running from north to south.
The Gaoque Fortress controls this valley road.
The Mohists of the Mohist School stood on a high platform on the north bank of Beihe River, using telescopes to look at the outline of the Gaoque Fortress from a distance.
In fact, the high tower is not very high.
Its city wall is only less than three feet high.
However, it relies on mountains as a barrier and rivers as dangers.
In spring, summer and autumn, the turbulent Beihe River is its best talisman.
No matter which direction the enemy attacks from, they must cross the mighty Bei River.
It is only in winter like this that Gaoque Fortress will lose the natural barrier of Beihe.
However, although there is no natural barrier of Beihe, Gaoque Fortress also has an additional defensive weapon called "ice".
As long as water is poured downwards from the top of the city at night, the extreme climate of the grassland at night will immediately freeze the entire city wall.
Ladders, siege engines, nest carts, and wood-ramming machines all lost their effect.
The Huns naturally understood this simple and primitive but effective method.
At this moment, the entire appearance of Gaoque seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ice.
The Mohists of the Mo family felt extremely troubled when they looked at those ice lings.
"It is indeed a fortress that both King Wuling of Zhao and Emperor Qin Shihuang valued!" A poet who is good at civil engineering said with emotion: "After seeing this Gaoque Fortress, I realized that there is a fortress as good as Hangu in this world!"
Hangu Pass is the first pass in the world.
For hundreds of years, it has guarded the Sanqin land in Guanzhong and resisted countless powerful enemies from the east.
Its solidity and dangerousness have been admired by literati and poets for hundreds of years.
But, who knew that on this northern fortress, there actually existed a fortress no less powerful than Hangu?
The strength and danger of this fortress, like Hangu, does not lie in how high its walls are, nor in how big its city is.
There is only one word: Danger!
This fortress has the same geographical advantages and dangers as Hangu Pass.
What's even more frightening is that it is different from Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass was built at the mouth of the canyon to guard the main road.
Gaoque Fortress is a fortress built between two mountains.
This is the result of Qin people's improvement on the basis of King Wuling of Zhao's Gaoque Fortress.
Hundreds of years later, when Li Daoyuan wrote "Shui Jing Zhu", he vividly described the horror and danger of Gaoque fortress under the name of Gaoque. He said: On the Great Wall, the mountains pierce the sky, and the mountains are piercing the sky.
The mountain is interrupted, and there are two ques on both sides. The clouds are lifted up, and you look like a que. It looks like a que, so it is called Gao que. From the north of the que in the wilderness, there is a city at the entrance of the que, and it ends across the mountain. It is called Gao que garrison.
.Since ancient times, heavy forts have always been installed to prevent road blockage.
This shows that at that time, the Gaoque City that Li Daoyuan saw did not rely on one mountain, but more than two!
Otherwise, there would be no depiction of the ‘cross-mountain ending’.
At this time, in the eyes of everyone in the Mohist family, Gaoque Fortress was leaning against two high mountains, standing in the clouds.
In other words, Qin people's description is correct.
With the technology of the Qin Dynasty, unless the defenders surrendered themselves, how could they rely on external forces to capture this fortress?
The piles of corpses outside Hangu Pass are the fate of those who tried to attack this fortress!
But...
Times are developing and technology is advancing.
Hangu Pass, known as the Natural Barrier in the Qin Dynasty, has lost much of its role in the current world.
In the new war situation, all the old rules will be rewritten.
Moreover, the advancement of military technology, especially the advancement of siege technology and equipment, is now far beyond what King Wuling of Zhao and Emperor Qin Shihuang could have imagined.
What was once an unassailable fortress has now become ‘assaultable’.
"Here, Your Majesty authorizes us to use Class A top secrets!" A dark-skinned ink artist said: "This opportunity is rare, why don't we wait and test it?"
The others looked at each other.
Class A top secret, it is the most confidential research project of the Mohist family.
To date, only three or five have achieved results.
But even these three or five, any one of them, is enough to change the world.
For example, the telescope in my hand was classified as Class A top secret two or three years ago, but now, its secret level has dropped to Class B, which means that it can be equipped to senior generals in the army, but it is still restricted to ordinary people.
touch.
The reason is well known to many Mohists.
Because more advanced telescopes are already being tested.
It is said that that kind of telescope can see into the sky...
Forbidden equipment!
Yang Yi, the great master of contemporary Mohism, saw other Mohists looking at him eagerly, waiting for his decision.
"Class A top secret, do not use it except as a last resort!" Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "Everyone should also know that if you use that kind of taboo power rashly before you have fully mastered it, what terrible consequences will it have..."
When the others heard this, they also felt sad in their hearts.
Class A top secret, within the Mohist family, means the most cutting-edge way.
How can you not pay the price for having a glimpse of the great road?
In the past two years, several Mohists have sacrificed their lives on the road to discovering the Tao.
The price is so high that it feels extremely heavy.
"Use the cannon!" Yang Yi looked at Gaoque City and said, "Try it first. If it doesn't work, I will ask your Majesty for instructions..."
Most of the Class A top-secret research products currently in the hands of the Mohist family, the Mohist family has not figured out why they are like this?
The Mohists only know that it represents Tao and the fundamental laws of nature of heaven and earth.
Just like water can be heated by fire, plants can absorb nutrients from the soil, and life cannot be separated from the sunshine.
Some people even assert that if we can figure out the laws of these things, we can get close to the way of heaven and touch the great road.
Regarding Tao, various schools of thought all have their own understandings.
In the eyes of Mohism, Tao is nature, heaven and earth.
The mystery of the Nine Heavens is hidden from above, and the reality of the Nine Netherworlds is glimpsed below.
This is the slogan of contemporary Mohists and their mission.
And when approaching and observing the "Tao", certain things have undergone some incredible changes, and some terrible taboo things have appeared.
This is the origin of most of the current Class A top secrets of the Moh family.
They are all products born from "chemical experiments".
However, today's Mohists cannot master them.
They are full of danger and have taboo-like powers.
Today, people seem to be very interested in this kind of taboo. They not only issued a gag order to prohibit leakage, but also allocated tens of millions to conduct experiments and explorations.
Before this expedition, the emperor had allowed the Mohists to use any kind of substance if necessary to completely destroy Gaoque.
But Yang Yi didn't dare.
because……
If you are not careful, all the elites of the Mohist family will be shattered to pieces!
Compared to that kind of uncontrollable power, Yang Yi still prefers the 'cannon' that also comes from the Moh family. (~^~)
