From the stone stack, the city finally appeared in front of a few people.
In front of me is a moat that was dug out with a lot of manpower. It was about ten meters wide. I don't know how long it was, and it was about ten meters deep. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to build it.
As the name suggests, the moat is actually a tool for city defense. In the Cold Weapon era, it was a weapon for city defense. The reason why the Song Dynasty prairie cavalry could not completely kill the Song Dynasty was because their cavalry could not do anything about the moat.
The famous Jingkang shame in history, the Jin army bypassed all the cities in the Song Dynasty and did not fight, the main cavalry army went all the way south to Bianliang, took Song Qinzong and Song Huizong, but gave up the wealthy land in the south. In the final analysis, there was not enough. The strength of the army completely won the Song Dynasty city.
The Jing people built such a huge moat outside the city. Obviously, this curious nation often has wars.
Thanks to the white light from the dome overhead, you can see the whole picture of the moat and river bottom. There is still some stagnant water left below, and you can smell the stench from a distance.
The bad news is that the chain bridge on the moat has been broken. The murals say that the Jing people cut it off when defending the city. Therefore, one end of the chain bridge is still hanging upside down on our side. In the end, Song Jun built a pontoon bridge before entering the city.
However, the water at the bottom of the river was almost dry. The floating bridge built by the Song people has gone.
"Then what should I do now?" I asked.
Gu Tang looked at the rocky moat bottom and sighed, "It's really troublesome."
"We can climb down the broken bridge." Chongyang Road.
"The chain bridge is on our side, we have climbed down along it, how can we go up there?" Is it possible that you jumped up with me behind
"You don't need to go up. The moat below the moat should be connected to the drainage system of the Jing Clan's Underground Palace. Then we can follow the drainage system to enter the city."
"You are knowledgeable, how did you know?"
"I read it on the book." Chongyang smiled, "The book on your shelf." This is obviously mocking me for not looking at the book after I bought it.
As if I didn't hear it, I changed the subject and said to Gu Tang, "How about it, just go on like this?"
"It should be feasible, but I don't know that the chain is not strong after so many years."
"It should be sturdy... right."
"I'll try it first." Chongyang stepped forward at this time.
"Ah, it's not good, it's too dangerous," I said hypocritically.
"Then you go." Gu Tang exposed my hypocrisy.
"No." Chongyang waved his hand, "Ning Chuan will fall to death if the chain is broken in the middle. I am better than him, and I will be fine if I break it." Look! This is a good person.
The wooden planks on the iron chain bridge had already decayed and fallen off, and only a dark iron chain was left hanging there. It looked good, and it should not be rusted too much.
Chongyang grabbed the iron chain and slid down the mountain step by step. I hung my heart and watched him reach the bottom and let out a sigh of relief. "Very strong, you can come down!" Chongyang shouted from below.
Gu Tang looked at me with a smirk, "Go down first, try for me whether it is strong or not, don't go down the first one without breaking, the second one goes down and breaks."
I know that this population is wrong. The more iron chains are used, the greater the risk. He wants him to take the greatest risk.
I sighed, "Okay."
The whole process was very easy, pedaling on the mountain wall, step by step, and quickly reached the bottom, but the bottom of the moat was quite strong. (End of this chapter)
