So in this case, the people were grateful while being tempted by the money and land, and they all gathered together for a while.

Fancheng, which has a population of only 70,000, had almost 15,000 people before midnight! Hai Mutang immediately sent a blank field contract and organized the gangs of the 5,000 people to the soldiers to lead.

We started to construct construction at various locations inside and outside the city overnight to renovate the city defense of Fancheng.

...The first thing is in the city, Hai Mutang asked this migrant workers to lead the migrant workers group to cut down trees and build and improve a number of powerful fire support points.

They dug trenches on the streets, and all the alleys and small streets in Fancheng were built with bricks and stones.

Then they demolished the government office and the courtyard wall, and the bell and drum towers in the city were vigorously raised and thickened, demolished all the magnificent hall buildings in the government office, and used the demolished beams and pillars to make city defense facilities.

Through Hai Mutang's actions, we can know that the female general had made plans to defend Fancheng as soon as she came up.

Even when the Mongolian army rushed into the city, she planned to start street fighting and fight the Mongolians to the end.

And at this time, outside the city was another scene.

...The moat in Fancheng has been silted for decades without dredging and renovation, and has completely become a flat land.

Because the silt at the bottom of the river is rich in nutrients and loose soil, a forest even grew on it.

Under the order of General Haimutang, the moat was dug by the recruited civilians and turned into a deep trench again.

After all, there are no particularly large pieces of sand and gravel in the soil here, and it is much softer than the raw soil that has not been disturbed, so the work of digging trenches is actually not difficult.

At the same time, all the soil dug out from the trench was cultivated to the outside of the moat, that is, the north-facing side.

General Haimutang asked the civilians to make that side a gentle slope, so that as long as the enemy runs on that slope, the angle can be just right for the soldiers on the city to shoot downwards.

There are no blind spots at this angle, and because the slope of the slope is pointed at the city head, the enemy troops under the city may be penetrated by several rifles and bullets on the city when attacking.

After the enemy rushed through this slope, there was a steep slope that was ten feet deep outside the moat, forming a large pit with a drop of more than two feet deep! Once it fell into this pit, it would fall to the range of grenades on the city.

At that time, the Mongolian army trapped in the ditch would have a city wall on one side and a dirt slope of more than two houses on the other side. They would definitely not be able to run out! Moreover, this trench also has the function of preventing the siege ladder from being placed on the top of the city, which invisibly made the city wall one meter high.

When the Mongolian army attacked the city, they ran to the city and found that their ladder was much shorter.

At that time, they will have to increase their cloud ladders, and when their new cloud ladder length increases by one meter, the cloud ladder itself will become heavier. When it crosses the large slope pit in front, I wonder how troublesome it will be! If there are enough soldiers in the city, Haimutang can also set up fortifications under the city to form a multi-level defense of three-dimensional strikes on the city and under the city.

However, she only has three thousand people in her hands, and it is a bit difficult to cover the city walls, so Hai Mutang had to give up this plan.

Hai Mutang also made two thick walls with bricks and stones on the south gate of Fancheng, which is the road leading to the pier outside the city, forming a passage like an alley.

The south gate of Fancheng is only thirty meters away from the Han River. After building this brick and stone alley in Haimutang, the people in the city can rush out of the city at any time and take a boat on the river to retreat to Xiangyang.

As for the Mongolian enemy's attempt to destroy these two walls, it would be a little troublesome.

Because of the 30-meter-wide road between the city wall and the Han River.

Even if the guardian of the city is a half-aged child, he can throw grenades to the Han River! So unless the Mongolian troops are kicked in the head by war horses, they will never run into this narrow path without any trouble!... Outside Fancheng, the Mongolian army's general Torre was waiting for the artillery transported from behind to attack the city.

Hai Mutang in the city tried desperately to defend this Fancheng.

At the same time, on the north bank of the Han River, after Guo Baoyu received the order from General Torre, he launched an attack on Hutou Mountain overnight!... At this time, on Hutou Mountain, 500 people led by Miss Jiang Yuxin were desperately building a defensive position on the top of the mountain.

They dug annular fortifications on the top of the mountain. The range of this annular fortification only covers the area of ​​thirty meters long and wide on the top of Hutou Peak.

However, near the steep mountain peak, such a circular business was built by Miss Jiang and her dense distance! The distance between these three fortifications is very close, but the difference in height is huge.

So much so that the warriors guarding the top layer can easily spit on the heads of the warriors at the bottom layer... The difference between the upper and lower levels of each floor has a height of one person, and there are traffic trenches in the middle of the trenches and they are connected to each other.

The soldiers dug out large pieces of stone from the ground, turning it up and used it as a cover, while continuing to dig deeper the pit under the stone as a hiding position.

Due to the tight time and lack of material, these three layers of circular formulas are built inside and out, and they look like three concentric circles drawn by Parkinson's patients.

At the same time, the six cannons on the top of the mountain were carefully arranged on the uppermost ring position.

This position cannot be as shoddy as the infantry position below, because these six artillery must be responsible for continuous attacks at 360 degrees, so the ground must be flat and solid, and drainage trenches and parabolic slopes buffered by the artillery must be dug out. The workload is really considerable.

At this time, sister Shen Yaoguang was taking a squad of soldiers and constantly blasting and collapsed the earth on the slopes one by one in all directions outside the ring position.

With dull explosions, the slopes outside the defensive positions were blasted one after another.

The gentle terrain quickly turned into steep terrain, and the exploded earth and rocks collapsed to the bottom of the mountain.

At this moment, sister Shen Yaoguang was like a crazy groundhog, constantly using explosions to make the position on the top of the mountain become steeper and hard to get close to.

Shen Yaoguang looked at the mountain top position that was becoming more and more sharp like a pencil, and nodded with satisfaction, and then led the soldiers to run down to the foot of Hutou Mountain.

The vegetation on Hutou Mountain is dense, and the mountain is covered with shrubs and grass.

With the help of the soldiers, Shen Yaoguang began to arrange a circle of thunder around, preparing to prevent the enemy from touching it silently in the dark night.

As a result, sister Chen Yaoguang walked around the Hutou Mountain for half a circle, and even one-quarter of the mines were not arranged.
Chapter completed!
