Zhao Hao led the clansmen of Jialou Luoying to work for half a month, and the elites of the other seven battalions also rushed over one after another.
At this time, they already had four large ships, and the timber needed to build the pier and the bricks needed to build the fort were also ready. Zhao Hao organized the elites of each battalion to practice for a day, so that they all basically mastered the skills of handling ships. Immediately afterwards, preparations for crossing the river began.
In the early morning of this day, the four large ships of the Haotian Department docked on both sides of the pier on the west bank of the river. Teams of elites carried the timber for the construction of the pier and boarded the large ship one after another. Everything was ready, and Zhao Hao looked dignified. Looking at the other side, he waved his hand and shouted firmly: "Let's go!"
"Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha." A burst of orderly yelling followed, and the four big boats were lined up neatly and headed straight to the opposite bank under the full efforts of eighty young men.
To be honest, at this time, Zhao Hao was still a little nervous, because, regarding the situation of the Nanman Mountains, he had only heard a few words from the leader of the Nanjiang Department, Wu, and he really didn't know how dangerous the other side was. .
The distance of a kilometer is only a matter of minutes for a large ship moving at full speed, and soon, the four large ships have already approached the east bank of the big river.
At this time, Zhao Hao finally saw the true appearance of the Nanman Mountains.
The Nanman mountains are really different from the general wild jungles. Not only are the mountains densely covered, but the vegetation between the mountains is also quite lush. The overall feeling is a feeling of vitality. At first glance, it is impossible to tell What's the danger.
Of course, Zhao Hao will not be careless because of this. After roughly surveying the terrain here, he looked back at the pier on the other side, then pointed his hand to the south, and shouted: "Go to the tributary over there to find place ashore."
When a big boat crosses the river, it will naturally be pushed by the flowing water, and the flow of this big river is from south to north, that is to say, they have actually been pushed hundreds of meters north by the current at this moment, so he let the four A large ship went upstream to find a place to land on a tributary slightly south of the pier on the opposite bank.

The speed of the four big ships going upstream will not be fast, but Zhao Hao is not in a hurry, he is holding his bow and arrow tightly, scanning everything on the shore with concentration, if the strange beasts in the Nanman mountains are also close to the existence of divine beasts Like ordinary beasts in the wild jungle, he can be seen everywhere, so he has to consider whether to let the elite of the Eighth Battalion go ashore at this moment.
After all, it is quite dangerous for the Eighth Battalion Elite to face a large number of alien beasts, and he cannot guarantee everyone's safety.
Fortunately, the road was fairly calm, and there were no strange beasts or creatures close to divine beasts that suddenly rushed out. Until they entered the tributary and found a relatively flat grassland, there was still no movement on the shore.
It seemed that the Nanman Mountains were not as terrifying as he had imagined, and it was not a big problem to bring the elite of the clan ashore.
At this time, the most important thing is to build a pier so that the elite of the Eighth Battalion can gain a firm foothold on the river bank and build a fortress.
Zhao Hao carefully observed the situation on the shore, then jumped up without hesitation, and landed on the flat grass with a "boom".
This time, he finally boarded the east bank and came to the Nanman Mountains. Will he encounter any danger next?
Chapter 169 Settled
The Haotian Department entered the Nanman Mountains, and the two sides of the river were suddenly bustling.
On the west bank of the river, hundreds of young men were running back and forth on the pier, loading bricks piled up on the bank into the boat and transporting them to the opposite bank.
On the east bank of the great river, Zhao Hao was leading two or three hundred young men to clear the trees around a small hill and prepare to build a fortress. He kept bringing down the big trees with magic weapons, and the sound of the big trees falling down almost resounded through the entire mountain forest. .
Originally, Zhao Hao was still very careful, for fear of disturbing the existence of alien beasts or close to divine beasts in the Nanman mountains. After all, alien beasts are too terrifying for ordinary people, even the elite of the Haotian Department , facing strange beasts is also quite dangerous.
Small tribes in the wild jungle often encounter the incident of alien beasts hurting people. Zhao Hao also witnessed Cangwu's son Riyan being bitten by an alien beast saber-toothed tiger.
That guy is so fast that ordinary people can't react at all, even a master with a strength of a thousand catties has no power to resist.
He was really worried that if he made too much noise, it would attract strange beasts nearby. If he was negligent, his clansmen might suffer casualties.
However, the topography of the Nanman Mountains made it impossible for him to secretly lead people to build the fort, because there are too many trees here, and even if there is an open space, there can only be a hundred or so people standing, which is not enough at all. The need to build a fort.
He had no choice but to start clearing the trees drastically.
However, in order to ensure the safety of his clansmen, he is still quite vigilant. He holds the magic weapon in his hand at all times. Once there is an attack by a strange beast, he will rush to kill it with lightning speed. Moreover, every afternoon, When the sun was about to set, he would take all the people back to the west bank. Before the fort was built, he would not let the people take the risk of spending the night in the Nanman mountains.
As for the overall plan of the fortress, he has already done it.
He planned to build the fort into three layers, that is, according to the terrain, a platform was dug out from the top, midside and bottom of the middle 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. The surroundings of the courtyard are resting places for him and his family, and the center is a command post 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 four directions of the barracks according to the structure of the barracks. All the four hundred elite recruits stayed here.
At the bottom of the mountain are archery towers, city walls and training places.
He planned to build the city wall directly according to the mountain, that is, to reinforce the slope below the bottom platform with boulders and turrets, and build a circle of walls and arrow stacks about a person's height on top.
The archery tower is directly behind the wall, one every [-] steps, about ten meters higher than the bottom platform, so that the archers stand on it, which can not only cover the walls on both sides, but also serve as a watchtower. No matter which direction there are strange beasts approaching, can be found in time.
The practice place is actually the platform on the third floor, that is to say, the platform on the third floor is actually equivalent to the wall of the city wall, surrounded by walls, arrow stacks and archery towers, and a circle of platforms in the middle.
The biggest feature of this structure is its sturdiness, because the wall of the outer city wall is actually the bottom of the hill. If the strange beast ran over, unless the entire hill could be knocked down, the outer city wall would not be able to collapse.
A strange beast that can knock down a mountain probably does not exist. At least, he has never seen it or heard of it. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the strength of this fortress. Beasts are basically impossible to break through.
However, the difficulty of building this fortress is quite high. Digging a mountain into three floors requires a lot of work.
Fortunately, the elite strength of each battalion is at least over a thousand catties at the moment, and they do not lack hoes and shovels. It can be said that each elite is like a small excavator, and the corporal leaders, captains and The captain is even more competitive with a real excavator, so the progress of digging the platform is relatively fast.
Two or three hundred elites worked together, and in less than ten days, the three-story platform was basically dug.
Next came the building of the city wall.
The wall of this fortress is actually simpler to build than the wall of Yanshi City, because the entire wall is the third platform, and there is no need to build it at all. Even, they don't even need to dig the foundation, and they directly follow the mountain situation. Reinforcement will do.
The surrounding walls and archery towers are not very complicated. Basically, the elites who have participated in the construction of Yanshi City know how to build them, and they have already prepared bricks and so on. Therefore, the construction speed of the city wall is quite fast. In five days, the surrounding walls and archery towers around 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, that is to say, the part more than ten meters below the city wall is actually a mountain, how to open the door?
Open the door, and the inside is full of mud and rocks!
When the captain who was in charge of building the city wall ran over to ask him, Zhao Hao was really embarrassed. He really ignored the question of the city gate, because he didn't need the city gate at all, and a platform more than ten meters high, he I jumped up with one easy jump, the problem, other people can't do it.
This problem is not difficult to solve, just dig a hole on the outside of the city wall, and then build a ladder. His small mistake did not waste much time.
After the city wall was built, all four hundred elites could move into the newly built fortress. Because of the protection of the city wall, they basically didn't have to worry about the invasion of alien beasts.
Zhao Hao immediately ordered all four hundred elites to cross the river, pitch tents on the third-floor platform, and build barracks on the second floor with all their strength.
Four hundred elites worked together, and the construction speed was even more astonishing. Within five days, the barracks on the second floor were completed, and at this time, the main body of the fortress was almost completed, because the courtyard on the third floor was only his personal residence and command. It's just a place, and it doesn't have much 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 in the future, so he will naturally have to make a lot of effort.
Under his command, Sibai Jingzhuang worked hard for more than ten days, and an exquisite courtyard was finally completed.
It took more than a month to build the entire fortress, and it was already late autumn and winter was approaching.
At this time, Zhao Hao discovered another problem, that is, during the construction of the fort, not a single strange beast appeared!
Could it be that there are strange beasts everywhere in the Nanman Mountains?
He was really a little confused. If the number of strange beasts behind the southern barbarian mountains was about the same as the number of strange beasts in the wild jungle to the west, wouldn't his work be in vain!
