The five almost connected fortresses in the north were built in the early days of the Bywaste Empire.
When General Reinhard St. Clair killed the orcs to the north of Hengduan Mountain, he built a solid fortress on the foothills of the only Hengduan Mountain. It was the Extreme North Fortress![.]
After that, the Byvost Empire relied on the Far North Fortress as its defense line and established a logistics base to its west. This was the predecessor of the Five Northern Fortresses.
Later, due to the harsh climate of the northern continent, it gradually turned into several separate but interconnected fortresses.
The station where Zhou Yunfei patrolled the north was the northern fortress group.
These fortresses, which are not very big individually, all have one thing in common, that is, they are very close to each other, and each fortress has at least two fortresses guarding both sides!
Looking at the detailed terrain marked on the sand table, Zhou Yunfei had to admire that this design was very cutting-edge and practical.
For example, if five fortresses are combined into one large fortress, it will be more difficult to defend than a group of five interrelated fortresses!
A medium-to-large fortress similar to the Far North Fortress can contain tens of thousands of troops. And five fortresses only need this many troops or even less to provide a defense far greater than that of a single fortress!
What's even more valuable is that the deterrence effect played by the five fortresses is not small. If the enemy comes before the five fortresses, they will inevitably face the embarrassing situation of being unable to defeat them alone.
Don't underestimate these medium-sized fortresses. They cannot be broken down in a short time. Once the enemy invests too long in a certain fortress, they will inevitably face support or counter-siege from other fortresses. Finally, there is another point, even if the enemy captures a fortress
The fortress still has to face the other four fortresses of the same size!
Even Dragon City would not fight hard when faced with such a group of fortresses. Even if it wanted to fight, it would have to use all its strength and endure heavy casualties in exchange for these five fortresses.
After listening to Xu Sheng's introduction, Zhou Yunfei made up his mind.
In fact, many people are regretting it now!
What do I regret? That is that I gave up these five fortresses to Dragon City with almost no profit!
If this fortress had not been given to Dragon City, they would have become an important weight in controlling the expansion of Dragon City!
Politics is like this. On the one hand, many forces are trying to contact and win over Dragon City, and on the other hand, they are trying every means to restrain the pace of Dragon City's expansion.
Zhou Yunfei was also very lucky. The plan to exchange grain for population did not pay attention to the special characteristics of the five fortress communities at first. It was not until later that he called it a fluke. The biggest gain from that plan was not the huge population base in the northern region, but the lack of it.
An eye-catching fortress group!
"Tell Pang Tong that I want the staff to make a detailed plan to connect these five fortresses into a more stable defense circle!" After Zhou Yunfei made up his mind, he immediately sent someone to convey his idea back to the Longcheng military.
According to Zhou Yunfei's idea, although this fortress group has now lost its due role, it might as well be used as a template for experiments because Zhou Yunfei understood the potential contained in it.
After receiving Zhou Yunfei's order, the staff immediately mobilized, and hundreds of staff began to revise the plan day and night. The prototype of Han's future star cluster defense line was slowly brewing!
In fact, none of the fortresses of the Northern Fortress were very impressive individually. Zhou Yunfei lost interest after looking at them for a while.
After resting for a night, the Northern Patrol Team set off for the Far North Fortress.
The closer he got to the Far North Fortress, the more Zhou Yunfei's heart agitated.
Known as the northern gate of the human world, this city has been subject to constant wars for hundreds of years.
The two sides, humans and beasts, used this as a battlefield, and countless soldiers sacrificed their blood and lives here. Legends were written and brilliance was achieved!
Now, after the decline of the northern orcs, the largest human race, the Far North Fortress has lost its former glory, but it has become a symbol, an unfailing city forged with heroic souls!
It is pride, it is legend, it is glory.
It also hurts.
Countless heroes, whether humans or orcs, have carved their soul marks in the Far North Fortress.
After Zhou Yunfei came to the Ross continent, he heard many, many stories about the Far North Fortress. Generations of Bywisters have sung and praised the heroes. They used their own flesh and blood to create the glory of the unfallen city.
.
Not long ago, Jun also wrote his own legend on that land. Although, the price was so heavy.
All this made Zhou Yunfei crazy!
Yes, he is crazy, as if he can feel the solemnity coming to him when he steps on this land engraved with legends!
"Lord, ahead is the Far North Fortress!" Gao Shun, who was driving the train, said to the carriage.
brush……
Zhou Yunfei violently lifted the thick curtains and looked from a distance.
In the far distance, the Hengduan Mountains tower into the clouds, and the snow that never melts all year round dyes the connection between the sky and the sky white.
In the distance, a lonely fortress stands there.
Far North Fortress!
"Stop the car." Zhou Yunfei said softly, Gao Shun immediately pulled the reins of the horse, and the carriage slowly stopped.
Zhou Yunfei put on a fur coat, opened the car door and slowly stepped out.
"Creak"
I stepped off the carriage and made a sound when I stepped on the snow.
The entire team stopped, and everyone in the team was staring at the fortress in the distance.
Zhou Yunfei walked slowly in the snow, heading towards the Far North Fortress step by step.
Here, here, countless heroes have sacrificed their lives. No one knows their names, but it was they who used their blood and lives to achieve more than three hundred years of prosperity for mankind!
Regardless of ethnicity and belief, these people are all worthy of respect!
What's more, Dragon City sacrificed tens of thousands of outstanding soldiers here.
Zhang Liao jumped off his horse, gently stroked his beloved horse, and then took off his helmet.
Slowly, slowly, Zhang Liao squatted down.
Carefully wipe away the snow on the ground, revealing the stiff black earth.
Zhang Liao took off his gloves and stroked the exposed ground with his fingers, as if caressing a beloved thing.
"Brothers, I'm here to see you..."
Zhang Liao said slowly, with a proud smile on his lips, but tears fell from his eyes.
A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet!
The wind blew and Zhou Yunfei stopped. He turned slightly and looked behind him.
The soldiers of the Second Army in the team all showed the same expression as Zhang Liao! They were sad, but they were proud!
Scanning the faces with smiles and tears, Zhou Yunfei also smiled.
"tick"
An undetectable sound sounded. Gao Shun lowered his head and saw two small holes in the snow in front of Zhou Yunfei's feet.
Tap tap tap tap...
There was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and I knew who it was without even thinking.
Upon learning that Zhou Yunfei was already outside the Far North Fortress, Zhao Yun, as the commander of the First Cavalry Division, immediately led a small group of cavalry out of the city to greet him.
From a distance, he saw Zhou Yunfei standing in the snow. Zhao Yun patted his horse and accelerated towards him.
Huh...
Zhao Yun turned over, jumped off his horse, and stepped forward, "Lord!"
Zhou Yunfei looked at Zhao Yun. After not seeing him for many days, Zhao Yun became more mature.
"Zilong, you did a great job!" Zhou Yunfei looked at Zhao Yun with a smile, the look in his eyes was so gratifying.
Zhao Yun knew that Zhou Yunfei was talking about the Battle of the Far North. If Zhao Yun hadn't ordered Ma Chao to lead a part of the cavalry first, the Far North Fortress might have fallen! So Zhao Yun became the most dazzling general in this battle.
The military assessment has been completed, and the meritorious service for the Far North Campaign will be awarded soon. By then, Zhao Yun is likely to become the first soldier in Dragon City to receive a five-star medal!
This is the honor that all soldiers dream of, but Zhao Yun said very modestly: "Zi Long is not talented, but he is deeply loved by his lord, so he should die as a result!"
Zhou Yunfei smiled helplessly, Zhao Yun is such a person, he is affectionate and humble, just like a handsome scholar, exuding an air of elegance.
"Let's go, advance to the fortress." Zhou Yunfei said, then mounted the horse brought by Gao Shun and ordered the team to move forward.
"Zilong, thank you." Zhang Liao walked up to Zhao Yun and said solemnly.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder. He knew what Zhang Liao was talking about, "No need to say more, my brother!"
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, with two tears falling from the corners of his eyes, "My brother! My brother! Zilong, let's go, don't let the master wait for us!"
"Well, let's go!" Zhao Yun turned over, mounted his horse, and chased Zhou Yunfei forward.
Zhou Yunfei rode on a war horse and entered this glorious fortress.
In front of the fortress, there are still some traces left, proving how difficult the previous battle was.
The Tenth Army and the First Cavalry Division were stationed in the fortress. After the end of the Far North Campaign, they began to renovate the Far North Fortress.
Without the threat of the Far North Orcs, Zhou Yunfei has long been preparing to rebuild the Far North Fortress. In the future, the Far North Fortress will become the key connecting the Far North region with the human areas in the southern part of the Hengduan Mountains. Therefore, the original fortress will not be suitable for this.
s position.
"Sir, is that man the lord of Dragon City, the third-class Marquis of the Empire, Mr. Zhou?" In the fortress, Bolt was curiously asking Ian.
This was also the first time for Ian to see the legendary Lord of Dragon City. Seeing how young Zhou Yunfei was from a distance made Ian smile bitterly. Previously, it was rumored that the Lord of Dragon City was young, and he thought that people were talking about being young.
Most of them are compliments, no matter how old they are, they must be a few years old.
But look now, who is in his thirties and who is young, these are not adults at all!
At such an age, the exaggeration is unbelievable, but the facts are right in front of him and he cannot believe it. So when Bolt asked, how should Ian respond.
In the previous battle in the Far North, the team led by Ian performed very well in the battle. Therefore, after the battle, they received an invitation from the Dragon City military to join Dragon City!
Not everyone can get this honor. After much thought, Ian finally decided to agree to join Dragon City.
