C1499 The Great City (2/2)
As long as an army survived the first and most difficult battle since its inception, it would be endowed with a personality that would be passed down through the generations to become the blood of the army.
”First Division has finally survived! ”There are gains and losses. Although they have suffered heavy casualties, they have obtained the glory of a powerful army. This glory will accompany them forever …”
Ye Qiu sighed with emotion. Tian Erdan enviously said, ”It's fun! ”They can be considered satisfied. I wonder if we will have the chance to fight a battle with them. They might not even have to wait until tomorrow morning to finish the battle depending on their speed …”
”It's not that simple!” Ye Qiu shook his head, ”Don't think that once the first line of defense is broken, everything will go smoothly. After that will be the brutal street fighting, chaotic battles, and the most crucial moment has just begun!”
From his vantage point, he could look down from his vantage point and see all of Haishenwai city's peninsulas and the two bays in one glance.
In this era, you could say that the Haishenwai was a military fortress, because everyone who lived here were all military personnel. Real citizens of the Russia, immigrants, had not migrated on a large scale, but all of the economic activities here were done in the service of the military.
Behind the northernmost wooden wall were scattered fortresses, warehouses, horse stables, military camps, training grounds, wharves … Every building could become a defensive fortress, and almost every window had the possibility to fire out enemy bullets.
From this point of view, the Haishenwai was a huge military fortress. But after all, this peninsula was prepared by the Russians to build the most prosperous city in the Far East.
In the early urban design, people had already reserved the locations of various civilian facilities, such as churches, hospitals, schools, civilian residential areas, industrial areas, mills, and even farms.
The fact that there were no immigrants here did not mean that there would be no immigrants in the future. Thus, from the very beginning of the city's planning, they had to leave behind those places, and even some areas had begun to be expanded.
In the tsar's mind, the city would have a population of at least a hundred thousand for the next ten years, which in the cold far east was the city's limit.
It was because of this that the Haishenwai Fortress had such a strong city feature. The peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there were even a few isolated islands in the sea that could be used as buildings for the city. Only the north side was connected to the mainland, which was the area with the most heavy casualties.
After breaching the first wall, the war changed from a battlefield to a street fight in the city. The soldiers of the Braveheart Army suddenly realized that behind the wall, there was an open space. ”Hahahaha …” ”Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!”
A huge battlefield of nearly 60 square kilometers suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Not to mention fighting with 40,000 people, even if 40,000 more people came, this spacious and huge city would still be able to hold on.
”Motherf * cker, I didn't expect this to be so much later!” Look, this bunch of grandsons are even planting land! There are actually fields over there! ”
”Stop fooling around, hurry up and chase them, chase these Russian into the sea!”
