The walls of Hangu Pass are only nine meters high.
When the castle was first built, it was originally designed to defend against wild beasts and wild men with sticks, so the height of the city wall was only seven meters, and one meter of it was the height of the female wall.
In the years that followed, with the rise of the Shifang tribe and the growth of the tribes such as Chaling, some people felt that the wall of Chaolin was not high enough, so they increased it to nine meters.
As a result, it became an unwritten rule that all the walls of Huaxia should not exceed a maximum of nine meters.
The height of such walls was much inferior to that of the great cities of later generations.
But Lin Ji felt that there was really no need to increase the height.
Because at this time thermal weapons appeared.
However, the newly built cities in Xirong in the past ten years are higher than the other.
The walls of the Divine Light were raised to twelve meters.
The Wolf Tai City in Guanzhong was built into a 15-meter fortified city.
Although the height of the wall of Hanguguan is only nine meters, it is built on the mountain, and there is a moat more than ten meters wide and several meters deep under it.
It's not easy to attack.
Before that, the jackal had never worried about the height of the city walls.
Although he only had 3,000 men in his hands, he was confident that he could keep the million men of Sijon under the wall.
But now he has some gains and losses.
Qian Mian pretended to arrive at Hangu Pass and began to clean, so it was obvious that Lin Ruins was coming.
Even if a wartime intelligence center was set up here, the jackal didn't think that others would be able to use the money to pretend.
After all, Qian Mian is the eyes and ears of Lin Ji, and these have never changed over the years.
Thinking of this, the black jackal immediately called a meeting of his subordinates to appease his subordinates, and at the same time asked for cooperation with the inventory and demanded that the war be treated with the best appearance.
Over the years, the kingdom has been extremely strict in the management of the army, and apart from some problems with a few officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, there are basically no problems found by the officers at the top level.
Therefore, the inventory did not have any effect on morale.
The arrival of Qian Mian not only brought an inventory, but also brought more information about Xirong.
Blazing was extremely well prepared for this war.
In terms of grain and grass, Chizhong has prepared enough grain and grass for Xijon for two years.
These grains and grasses were hoarded in Shenguang City and Wolf Tai City respectively.
It can be seen that Chizhong does not intend to achieve Huaxia overnight.
Rather, they are ready to fight a protracted war.
In terms of ordnance, the Blazing Medium is more prepared.
Through nearly ten years of accumulation, the ordnance he prepared can give everyone in Xirong a long and short weapon, a strong bow for all men, and an inexhaustible feather arrow.
The farming industry in Xijon also contributed a lot to the war effort.
It is said that millions of animals took part in the war.
Including donkeys, horses, elephants, deer, cows, and so on.
In addition to providing sufficient mobility, these animals are also a good choice for military rations.
At this time, Xijon also claimed that he had better cavalry than the Chinese.
After the harness gradually reached them, their riding and archery ability was indeed much higher than that of Huaxia.
Because in the Chinese army, mounted archery has become an unnecessary training item.
The Mongol tribes in the steppes maintained good riding and archery ability.
But the Xijon people habitually ignore that those people are part of China.
The vanguard of Xijon began to appear a few kilometers away from Hangu Pass.
As the scouts of Xirong, these people swept like flying, and could perform all kinds of difficult movements on horseback, and at the same time had amazing riding and archery ability.
The small beasts in the field are driven out of Hangu Pass by them, and they often shoot these little beasts on the spot in front of the defenders of Hangu Pass, and then pick them up and roar away.
In comparison, there are too many soldiers on the Huaxia side.
Huaxia did not send any scouts to the west of Hangu Pass, as long as these Xirong scouts did not approach the fortifications under construction under the pass, Huaxia's soldiers also allowed these Xijon people to perform in the wilderness.
The militia reinforcing Hanguguan was somewhat depressed when they saw this scene.
Although they knew that Huaxia's soldiers were invincible in the world, but seeing the enemy so arrogant and indifferent, they always felt that they had lost face on their side.

And some militiamen who knew little about the army could not help but be a little worried after arriving at Hangu Pass, they were only assigned to work such as digging ditches and logistics.
The Xirong people claimed to have a million warriors, but the Chinese regular army in the pass did not increase much, and the increased militia did not hurry up training or distribute weapons, but were only given light armor and helmets But when they heard that the king was coming here too, they were immediately relieved.
The king never let them down, and presumably the king had made some arrangements.
All they have to do is dig a ditch with all their heart.
The trenches outside the city became wider and deeper.
After the team that repaired the embankment of the Yellow River rushed over, all kinds of machinery were put into use, and those trenches became more than ten meters of abyss.
In some places, even groundwater has been dug up.
After more than ten years of the Yellow River water control project, the research institutions with the Yellow River University as the core have indeed made more breakthroughs in construction machinery.
Now even the internal combustion engine is being made.
Many construction machinery is powered by these internal combustion engines.
Although the power is much worse than that of later generations, it is still too powerful compared to human and animal power.
The trenches were dug and the bottom was bèich with sharp barbs, and it was obviously not easy to pass through these places.
Several moats slowly took shape, leaving only a road in the middle leading to the city gate, and the terrain outside the city resembled a huge king's character.
On the mountain wall outside the king's character, it is also full of barbed wire or nailed to the horses.
Even ordinary militiamen can see that these fortifications under the walled city are steep enough to drink a pot of Xijon people.
They had heard that it would take a month for the cavalry of the steppe to reach the battlefield, so they would be able to break the siege if they had to resist it for a month.
There are fortifications in front of the city pass, and many militiamen feel that this matter should not be difficult.
Seeing that the fortifications outside the city were getting more and more perfect, the people of Xijon on the opposite side were gathering more and more.
The militiamen raced against time to perfect the fortifications.
But Sijon's large force finally arrived at the opposite side before the fortifications were completed.
When the Xijon people launched a tentative attack, the jackals ordered everyone to return to the city to avoid the battle, regardless of whether the fortifications were not completed.
At this time, the first line of defense in the far west had just been built, and some supplies had just been delivered, and no personnel had yet been stationed to garrison it.
The Xijon people occupied that line of defense, squandering the supplies on the defense line, until a Chinese assault team touched the front along the deep trench and completely blew up the first line of defense, and these arrogant Xijon retreated.
But the first line of defense has been destroyed.
The militia was deplorable by the outcome.
At one point, he begged the jackal to go out of the city and risk his life to establish a second and third line of defense.
But was ruthlessly rejected by the black jackal.
The unwilling militiamen slandered in private.
It is said that the commander of the black jackal is incompetent.
At this time, the large army of the Xijon people was still on the way to come, and the military fortress of the Xijon people outside the city had not yet been built, and they were frightened by zhàyào, as long as there was a hundred-man team in Huaxia to defend the middle part of the first trench, or directly blow up the passage, it would be enough time to build the second and third lines of defense.
The jackal couldn't even understand this, so it was no wonder that he was still the lowest baron.
When the camp of the Xirong people outside the city gradually took shape, the forest traces also came to Hangu Pass.
The king was personally recruited, which made the militia and soldiers suddenly become highly motivated.
Lin Ji brought 2,000 Chaolin defenders, and at the same time brought countless dànyào, medicine, livestock and other supplies.
It can be said to make up for the various shortcomings of Hangu Pass.
In the eyes of the militiamen, the most important thing was that the king would definitely be able to see the shortcomings of the black jackals, and would send people out of the city to build the second and third fortifications as soon as they imagined.
The forest trail where the black jackal and others greeted them outside the east gate.
Lin Ji is over fifty years old, but he doesn't see old age.
Dressed in camouflage clothes similar to the guards around him, with a pair of sunglasses, he was surrounded by guards with guns behind him, like a warlord in Africa.
The white horse is old, so it is no longer in the ranks.
But behind Lin Ji was an extremely strong short-haired elephant, and Xiao Bai was still as powerful as a titan sitting on it.
On the eagle frame on the big spotted elephant, the ghost eagle couple stood on it, looking at everything around them with cold eyes, still handsome and extraordinary.
Occasionally, ghost eagles flew by in the sky, and when they saw them, they would immediately land nearby, bowing their heads and not daring to spread their wings.
Those are their descendants.
Xiaobai and Ghost Eagle are both long-lived species, and they are still not old.

After the salute, Lin Ji put his arm around the black jackal's shoulder and asked, "Am I handsome in my sunglasses?"
"Handsome" black jackal decisively praised.
The few militiamen who came to see the excitement saw that it was this meeting, and after their hearts were finished, the king would be fooled by the black jackal.
The eyes of the militiamen of the black jackal whispered: "These people secretly say that I am incompetent, and they all wish you replaced me." ” Lin Ji smiled: "That's because they have less training."
Just train for a few more hours. ”:
