Chapter 821 The details of the city

"Sir, do you know? About this Rising Sun City! There is another legend..."

During several battles, Wu Feng became familiar with his Asura warriors, so Asura's thousand-captain and Wu Feng started chatting.

There has always been a legend about the construction of steamed soil.

According to legend, it is about Luohu's personal guards who forced the original residents of the Sun City to steam the soil with a special kind of water, and stir it together to strengthen the city wall. It is said that the wall built in this way will be particularly strong.

But this is just a legend. The so-called "steamed city construction" actually uses a special secret technique and uses special magic to quickly expand and squeeze each other, making the sand and soil more closely combined.

The Luohu Army used this secret technique to build the grand city defense project of Rising Sun City. As time goes by, the design of the city defense is more perfect. The ratios between the height of the city wall, the thickness of the wall base, and the thickness of the wall top are four, two, and one. The city wall built in this proportion is strong and durable, and saves labor and materials.

The defense buildings in each part of the Rising Sun City have different functions of killing enemies. For example, the moat can be used to defend the city below the city wall first, and the soldiers guarding the city stand behind the high and thick walls to shoot and kill those who attack the attacking side.

At the corner of each city wall, Rising Sun City has an enemy tower, equipped with large equipment such as heavy crossbows and stone throwers, to specialize in the key defense of the blind corners of the city wall. If the enemy rushes through the moat, there will be a sheep and horse wall built on the river bank to block the attack.

If the attacker breaks through the outer city, he will often mistakenly enter a fortification called the urn. At this time, the defenders can use the tactic of catching turtles in the urn to shoot the enemies entering the city.

You should know that among all walks of life, most of the major battles are inside and outside the city, and urban defense fortifications are constantly being improved and improved, and magnificent urban defense projects are born.

In fact, the city walls of the city were mostly made of soil, so they were mostly called Tucheng. Although there were brick cities in the later period, the outside of the city wall was covered with bricks, and the inside was still a Tucheng. The real brick city was built after the city was introduced from the human world to all walks of life.

When I arrived at Ruling, even the human world no longer had a pure earth city, let alone the Asura world.

Although its name is a Tucheng, it is also indestructible. It is common for the current city wall to be destroyed for thousands of years without war.

The workers carried the soil to the city wall, and then used ramming to make it solid, layer by layer, very firm. Over time, small trees, or even big trees, will grow in the gaps in the city wall.

In the Asura world, whether it is earth or brick walls, their quality is first-class. If it is not artificial, it can even not collapse for thousands of years. As for the warrants, they are available in every city wall, starting from the floor on the wall to the human chest.

When the height of the part is, start building the merceration.

This mercedes are generally built into a concave and convex shape. There is a small square hole built on the upper part of the mercedes, namely the observation hole. The bricks on the left and right sides of the verge are in the shape of the inner and outer eight characters, which is to facilitate the observation of the enemy and not easily be shot by the enemy's arrows.

It is mainly to prevent enemy attacks, and can also shoot invisible and long-range shots. There is a small square hole built at the bottom, which is a shooting hole for arching arrows. The bottom of the shooting hole is tilted downward, so that it can shoot the enemy under the city.

The horse road is a kind of slope pedal inside the city. You can usually log into the city wall from here. The current stairs are similar. They are set at key locations in the city, mostly at intersections and convenient transportation. When necessary, soldiers can log into the city wall from the horse road to fight. Generally, there are several horse roads in the city.

The construction of the city itself is to resist foreign enemies and facilitate residence. Therefore, after the city was built, the Luohu Army built four types of towers, namely hard buildings, regiment buildings, enemy buildings, and corner buildings.

Among them, the hard buildings are square or hexagonal platforms, built in the city wall and protrude outwards. Some hard buildings even have no buildings, only brick platforms.

The group building is a circular platform. Like a hard building, it is also built on the city wall, but is only built on corners.

The enemy building in Rising Sun City is considered to be more built, and is specially designed for command, observation and orders by the guards of each section of the city, and placed equipment and supplies. It is usually used for patrol soldiers and patrolers to shelter the wind and rain to rest. It is a facility to enhance the defense of the city wall.

This enemy building is generally divided into two types. One is on the city wall and the city platform is not prominent, and the other is on the corner outside the city wall.

How to arrange the specific location of the three types of buildings mainly depends on the terrain of the city. In addition, it depends on which side of the city is easily attacked by enemies and which side has the weakest defense. It is realized that many ruins of the city now have hard buildings, regiment buildings and enemy buildings, but they are all destroyed due to war, and some are demolished, which is difficult to identify now.

As for the corner tower, it is built at the corner of the city wall, and it is also a defensive building. It mainly allows you to observe movements and stills from all directions. Like the lookout tower, it can be used as a post for climbing and looking far away. Most cities will have corner towers, but it is not absolute. The setting of corner towers is mainly determined by the location of the city, its surrounding environment, defense methods and strategic requirements.

This corner building is different from a hard building. The biggest difference is its location. The predecessor of the corner building was originally the Wanglou. The Wanglou was first established in a residential area and was established to defend a large mansion. Later, the house building gradually developed into a small city, and finally reached a large city, so there was a corner building, which was also called a fort.

This city gate and city tower are indispensable for every city. In order to ensure the safety of the city and the safety of its own people's access, the city gate must be established after the city is completed. With the city gate, there will naturally be a city tower and a city

The city gates will be set up in the southeast, west and north of the pond, and there are more than one. On one side, several city gates will be set up, and each city gate will be built, and nine city gates will be set up in the Rising Sun City.

The main purpose of this city tower is to mark the location of the city gate, observe and control pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate, watch the enemy situation or external movements. Moreover, no matter the size of the city, a city gate will be set up about 1-3 door holes. Some city gates are more unique and will be set up with 5 or 6 door holes, such as the north gate of Rising Sun City.

The styles of the door holes are different. Before the Asura Emperor, most of them were angular door holes, that is, trapezoidal lintels. Later, after the Asura began, they mainly used a voucher door. When opening a angular door hole, the upper flat bag was first applied at the entrance of the door hole, and the lower flat bag was supported by a Shu pillar in the middle, and the two sides were supporting feet, which formed a trapezoid. On both sides of the door hole, a row of fork columns was installed. According to the width of the city platform, the first row of fork columns in each door hole should be placed obliquely, so that it could match the side feet of the city platform and be safe and secure. The brick platform of the city gate, that is, the city platform, is wider than the city wall.

The gate of the Rising Sun City is mainly divided into three parts, namely the city platform, the city tower, the entrance of the door, and there are several buildings, which are made into brick and stone floors.

The north gate of the Rising Sun City has two city towers in front and behind. The front end is larger and the back end is smaller. They are surrounded by the urn city. The other gates also have city gates and city towers, and they are also surrounded by the urn city.

In fact, the urn city is simply set up at the city gate, which is a small city outside the city gate. After the city is built, the urn city will generally be built on each city gate on all sides.

This urn city is equivalent to a small city. Before everyone enters the city gate, they have to pass through this urn city. Therefore, the main purpose of establishing the urn city is to protect the city gate. The urn city has plane, square, trapezoid or semicircular shape. Several urn city must be established in a city, depending on several aspects. First, consider the terrain of the city, and whether the city is used for defense or offense, second, the strength of the city's defense power, and third, whether it affects traffic.

However, there are exceptions in this world. For example, the Rising Sun City sets up a urn at each city gate. This urn has strong defense capabilities and plays an important role in the city whether it is defense or attack.

After hearing what the Asura commander under his commander said about the situation in Rising Sun City, Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh that the craftsmen in the Luohu army were so high that their wisdom was amazing.
