The Haotian tribe entered the Nanman mountains, and both sides of the river suddenly became lively.

On the west bank of the river, hundreds of young men were rushing back and forth on the pier, loading mountains of bricks on the bank onto boats and transporting them to the other side. The sound of "haha" that sounded from time to time was the chant they shouted while rowing.

On the east bank of the river, Zhao Hao was leading two to three hundred young men to clear the trees around a hill in preparation for building a fort. He kept knocking down big trees with his magic weapons one after another. The sound of the big trees falling down resounded throughout the forest.

.

Originally, Zhao Hao was very careful, fearing that he would disturb the alien beasts or existences close to the divine beasts in the southern barbarian mountains. After all, the lethality of alien beasts is too terrifying for ordinary people, even the elites of the Haotian tribe.

, facing strange beasts is also quite dangerous.

Small tribes in the wild jungle often encounter strange beasts hurting people. Zhao Hao once witnessed Cangwu's son Riyan being bitten to the core by a strange beast, a saber-toothed tiger.

That guy is so fast that ordinary people can't react at all. Even a master with a strength of 1,000 kilograms has no power to resist.

He was really worried that making too much noise would attract nearby strange beasts. If he was negligent, his tribesmen might be injured or killed.

However, the topography of the Nanman mountains made it impossible for him to secretly lead people to build a fortress, because there were too many trees here. Even if there was open space, it would only be able to stand a hundred or so people, which was simply not enough.

The need to build a fort.

He had no choice but to start clearing the trees aggressively.

However, in order to ensure the safety of his tribesmen, he is still quite vigilant. He always holds the magic weapon in his hand. Once a strange beast attacks, he will rush up and kill it like lightning. Moreover, every afternoon,

When the sun is about to go down, he will take all the tribesmen back to the west bank. Before the fortress is built, he will not let the tribesmen risk spending the night in the Nanman mountains.

As for the overall plan of the fortress, he has already made it.

He planned to build the fortress into three floors, that is, according to the terrain, a platform would be dug out on the top of the hill in the middle, on the mountainside, and at the bottom of the hill.

The top of the mountain is his residence and command place. He plans to build a large courtyard according to the structure of a courtyard. Surrounding the courtyard are resting places for him and his family, and in the middle is a command place similar to a large conference room.

The mountainside is the residence of the guards of each battalion. He plans to build a row of barracks in the southeast, northwest and four directions according to the structure of the military camp. Each row of barracks has ten large bungalows. Each bungalow will house a team of ten people. The four rows of barracks will just fit him.

All the four hundred elites recruited were accommodated.

At the bottom of the mountain are the archery tower, city wall and training place.

He planned to build the city wall directly according to the mountain topography, that is, to reinforce the slope below the bottom platform with boulders and turning heads, and then build a circle of walls and arrow stacks about a person's height above.

The archery towers are directly behind the wall, one every hundred steps, about ten meters above the bottom platform. In this way, when archers stand on them, they can not only cover the walls on both sides, but also serve as watchtowers. No matter which direction a strange beast approaches,

can be discovered in time.

The training place is actually the third-floor platform. In other words, the third-floor platform is actually equivalent to the wall of the city wall. The periphery is surrounded by walls, arrow stacks and arrow towers, and there is a circle of platforms in the middle.

The biggest feature of this structure is its sturdiness, because the outer city wall is actually the bottom layer of the hill. If a strange beast comes over, it will be impossible for the outer city wall to collapse unless it can knock down the entire hill.

Alien beasts that can collapse mountains probably do not exist. At least, he has never seen or heard of them. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the strength of this fortress. As long as you always pay attention to the aliens,

It's basically impossible for beasts to break through.

However, the construction of this fortress is also very difficult. To dig a mountain into three levels requires a lot of work.

Fortunately, the strength of the elites of each battalion is at least a thousand pounds at this time, and they are not short of hoes and shovels. It can be said that each elite is more like a small excavator, and the corps commanders, captains and

Xiaowei Na is even more capable of competing with a real excavator, so the progress of digging the platform is relatively fast.

Two to three hundred elites worked together, and in less than ten days, the three-story platform was basically dug.

The next step was to build the city wall.

The city wall of this fortress is actually simpler to build than the city wall of Salt Stone City, because the entire city wall is the third platform, so there is no need to build it at all. They even don't even need to dig the foundation, and they directly follow the mountain topography to build the outer wall.

Just reinforce it.

The outer walls and watchtowers are not very complicated. Basically, the elites who participated in the construction of Salt Stone City all know how to build them. In addition, they have already prepared the bricks and other things, so the construction speed of the city wall is quite fast.

, in five days, the walls and arrow towers outside the city wall were basically formed.

At this time, Zhao Hao encountered another embarrassing problem, that is, the city gate could not be opened!

You know, the wall of the city wall is a three-story platform. In other words, the lower part of the city wall, which is more than ten meters, is actually the mountain. How to open the door?

When I opened the door, it was full of dirt and rocks!

When the captain in charge of building the city wall came over to ask him, Zhao Hao was really embarrassed. He had indeed ignored the problem of the city gate, because he didn't need the city gate at all. With a platform more than ten meters high, he

I jumped up easily, but the problem is, others can't.

This problem is not difficult to solve. He only needs to dig a hole diagonally upward on the outside of the city wall and then build a staircase. His small mistake did not waste much time.

After the city wall is built, all four hundred elites can move into the newly built fortress. Because of the protection of the city wall, they basically don't have to worry about invasion by strange beasts.

Zhao Hao immediately ordered all 400 elite soldiers to cross the river, pitch their tents on the three-story platform, and build the second-story barracks with all their strength.

Four hundred elites started working together, and the construction speed was even more astonishing. Within five days, the second-floor barracks was built. At this time, the main body of the fortress was almost completed, because the third-floor courtyard was only for his personal residence and command.

It's just a place and has little to do with the defense of the fortress.

However, he is still very concerned about this courtyard. In order to improve his strength, he will probably live here in the past few years. Unless the Xue Man tribe launches a large-scale attack, he will basically not leave the Nanman mountains.

In other words, he and his family will settle here from now on, so he will naturally have to work hard.

Under his command, the four hundred men worked hard for another ten days, and finally an exquisite courtyard was completed.

The construction of the entire fortress took more than a month. It was already late autumn and winter was approaching.

At this time, Zhao Hao discovered another problem, that is, during the construction of the fortress, not a single strange beast appeared!

Is it true that there are strange beasts everywhere in the Southern Barbarian mountains?
Chapter completed!
